Ji Beitang pretended to be unwell and went out to ask the servant to bring the medicine box.

The servant was a little worried and asked if they wanted to call a doctor.

Ji Beitang was worried that his secret would be exposed, so he coaxed the servant out and told him not to alarm his parents.

There happened to be antipyretic drugs in the medicine box. Ji Beitang helped Xu Muzhe up and gently fed him the pills.

"Azhe, if your fever doesn't go away, I can't keep you here." Ji Beitang stroked his forehead and pushed his bangs back. "I don't want you to get sicker. Even if my parents find out, I will send you to the hospital."

Xu Muzhe suddenly grabbed Ji Beitang's hand and rubbed it against his cheek.

Ji Beitang's eyes softened and he leaned over and kissed the other person's forehead.

"Have a good sleep, and you won't feel uncomfortable when you wake up."

Xu Muzhe closed his eyes and muttered weakly, "Then you can't leave me. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you when I wake up."

Ji Beitang's heart ached, his smile turned bitter, and he choked up and said, "I will accompany you, sleep well."

Although he couldn't make any promises about the future, at least for now, he could accompany Xu Muzhe temporarily.

"It would be great if you hadn't betrayed me." Ji Beitang sighed, looked at Xu Muzhe's face, and said to himself, "At least their attitude wouldn't be so tough, and Gu Zilin wouldn't have any chance to take advantage of it."

Xu Muzhe naturally heard what Ji Beitang said, and looked at him with half-opened eyes.

"Your mother is right." Xu Muzhe said with a guilty look, "I am indeed a bad person."

Ji Beitang was stunned for a moment, "So you heard everything."

"Yeah, I heard everything." Xu Muzhe squeezed Ji Beitang's hand, "But I also heard what you said. You are in pain, and you don't want to marry Gu Zilin at all. Give me a chance to make it up to you. Even if you don't want to be with me, let me help you leave here. I can promise you that I will never bother you again."

Facing Xu Muzhe's burning gaze, Ji Beitang looked away.

"It's late, go to bed early." Ji Beitang endured the heartache and pulled his right hand away from the other's warm palm. "You are still sick. If you have anything to say, wait until you recover."

Xu Muzhe didn't force him anymore. He just responded softly and closed his eyes obediently.

Ji Beitang hugged Xu Muzhe and only lay down after making sure that the other person was asleep.

He tucked himself into the other's arms, smelling the familiar and reassuring scent, and slowly fell asleep.

That night, he had a very long dream.

He dreamed that Xu Muzhe had not betrayed him.

From the time they fell in love to their engagement, the elders of Ji's family were very supportive of them, and his father held his hand as they walked down the red carpet.

Ji Beitang walked up to Xu Muzhe with a happy face, raised his hand, and waited for him to put the ring on his finger.

A men's ring on the ring finger indicates that their relationship has an extra layer of responsibility.

Ji Beitang stroked the ring happily and looked up to say "I love you" to Xu Muzhe.

But the person in front of me suddenly changed his face.

It was originally Xu Muzhe's face, but it became Gu Zilin's face at some point.

Ji Beitang turned around and tried to escape, but the people around him grabbed his arms and he couldn't move.

A devilish whisper rang in my ears.

"You can't escape. You are destined to sacrifice for me."

"No!" Ji Beitang suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and shouted, "I don't want it!"

What I saw before me was no longer the wedding hall, but his bedroom.

Ji Beitang gradually regained consciousness and realized that he was just dreaming.

He was breathing heavily, with thin sweat on his forehead and back, and his body was shaking constantly.

no...

This is not a dream.

It will be realized in a month.

He became a victim of Gu Zilin's fight for property, and no one would support him being with Xu Muzhe.

And Xu Muzhe will let him go and fall in love with someone else.

"What's wrong?" Xu Muzhe also sat up and stretched out his arms to hug Ji Beitang, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Ji Beitang came to his senses and turned his head to look at Xu Muzhe.

By the way, Xu Muzhe had a fever last night, so I slept in his bedroom for the time being.

"You've been sweating a lot. Why don't you take a shower and change into clean clothes?"

Ji Beitang shook his head, turned around and threw himself into the other's arms.

"Let me hold you for a moment first."

"I'm... so scared..."
