She cried out his name a few times. Huo Yunshen was delirious in his high fever and he could vaguely hear Xu Xiyan calling his name.

He thought it was an illusion and reached out to her saying, “Jing Xi, don’t go...”

“I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.”

Xu Xiyan held his hand, closing her fingers around his.

His palm was wide in her hand. It felt dry and very warm.

His body temperature was so high. Was it a fever?

He mumbled something incomprehensible then fainted. Xu Xiyan touched his forehead with the back of her hand. It really was a fever.

He looked very ill and Xu Xiyan felt an unspeakable heartache. Wasn’t he fine yesterday?

How did he suddenly become sick today?

Xu Xiyan had learned Chinese medicine from her grandfather since she was a child. She remained calm as she looked him over and took his pulse, then proceeded to treat him and lower his body temperature.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

Anxiety, sadness, hopelessness...he was suffering in all sorts of complicated moods. How could he not fall ill?

“I didn’t expect it to be so serious, and I thought I would recover...” he said, then let out a few coughs.

Huo Yunshen thought that he could bear with it, but he did not expect to have a fever that high and become very sick.

“Not only do you have a fever but you’re also coughing. Don’t be so stubborn next time; you should go to a doctor if you’re not feeling well. Don’t you know how worried your mother and your sisters will be if they learned you’ve fallen very ill?” Xu Xiyan lectured him.

Huo Yunshen did not speak. In fact, he did not care whether others would become worried for him. He really wanted to ask, Jing Xi, would you worry about me?

Xu Xiyan continued to wipe his body with a warm towel. Her movements were natural, as if she was a wife wiping her husband’s body.

When she reached his lower abdomen, Huo Yunshen suddenly grabbed her hand.

Xu Xiyan was surprised and looked up, “What’s wrong?”

Huo Yunchen’s cheeks were flushing red. “You don’t have to wipe anymore.”

“You’ve been sweating all over. If you’re not dry and put in clean clothes, the moisture will seep into your body and aggravate your condition.”

Xu Xiyan guessed that he was shy, but she was his caregiver now. Isn’t it normal for her to clean his body?

“But...”

How could he let her do these things for him?
