At Ji Beitang's request, Xu Muzhe held him tightly in his arms and kept comforting him with words.

"Are you having a nightmare? It's okay. Dreams are fake. I will be with you. Don't be afraid."

Ji Beitang pinched Xu Muzhe's clothes tightly, and his tears wet Xu Muzhe's collar.

After half an hour, he finally calmed down a little.

Ji Beitang felt embarrassed and let go of Xu Muzhe with an unnatural expression and coughed lightly.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Xu Muzhe rubbed his head and asked, "What did you dream about? Can you tell me about it?"

Ji Beitang just opened his mouth, but soon closed it tightly again.

What good can it do to say it?

Nothing can be changed.

He shook his head, his expression full of resistance, "I have forgotten it."

Xu Muzhe didn't force him. He just said "hmm" and threw back the quilt before getting out of bed.

“Do you have a new toothbrush in your room?”

"Have."

Ji Beitang walked into the bathroom, opened the cabinet under the sink, and took out a new towel and toothbrush.

"Thank you." Xu Muzhe took it.

Ji Beitang looked at Xu Muzhe through the mirror, hesitated for a long time, and then pretended to be indifferent and said, "Are you well now?"

"Not yet." Xu Muzhe lied without changing his expression.

Ji Beitang: "......"

He simply reached out and touched Xu Muzhe's forehead, frowned and said, "It's obvious that he's already well, and he doesn't have a fever anymore."

"But I still felt dizzy, nauseous, and had a tightness in my chest. I couldn't even stand steadily."

Ji Beitang looked at Xu Muzhe's whole body.

His complexion was rosy, he stood straight, and he brushed his teeth vigorously.

There is no trace of a patient on him.

"You have to find a better excuse to lie." Ji Beitang retracted his gaze, picked up the toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste on it, "Auntie will bring breakfast over later. I won't eat it, so I'll leave it for you. You can leave when you're full."

Since Xu Muzhe could sneak in, he must have a way to sneak out.

He was not worried about Xu Muzhe being caught.

And if I stay here all the time, I will definitely be discovered by Gu Zilin.

That guy is not easy to fool.

Xu Muzhe spit out the foam from his mouth and said in a light tone, "No."

Ji Beitang paused while brushing his teeth, turned around, and stared at Xu Muzhe with a serious expression.

"Be good." He spoke unclearly because of the toothpaste in his mouth. "Leave obediently when the fever is gone. You promised me last night."

Xu Muzhe started to act like a jerk again. He picked his ears and said, "I can't hear you."

"you..."

Ji Beitang couldn't argue with him, so he could only brush his teeth seriously and plan to discuss this matter later.

Xu Muzhe finished washing up first, and without giving Ji Beitang a chance to react, he quickly lay back on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.

Ji Beitang: "......"

For the first time, he discovered that Xu Muzhe could be so shameless.

After washing his face, Ji Beitang walked out of the bathroom and patted the bulge in the quilt.

"stand up."

"I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

Ji Beitang was angry and wanted to laugh at the moment. He simply sat on the edge of the bed and tried to persuade Xu Muzhe.

"How long can you stay like this?" Ji Beitang sighed, feeling extremely powerless. "It's been less than a month since I got married. The servants in the villa are coming in and out, and my mother comes in occasionally. Sooner or later, they will find you."

"Then let's get discovered." Xu Muzhe turned over and changed to a comfortable position, "Then I'll have a good talk with your parents."

The smile on Ji Beitang's face faded a little. "Do you think they can let you go? Have you forgotten what my mother said last night? If you are found by them, not only will you be kicked out, but you may not even be able to find a job and survive."

Xu Muzhe knew that he was angry, so he sat up and said seriously, "I have let you down before, so this is the punishment I deserve."

"you..."

Ji Beitang's eyes were slightly red, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Both aggrieved and angry.

"So? Is punishing yourself in this way your way of compensating me?"

Xu Muzhe looked at him deeply, and after a moment, he whispered, "Aren't you the same?"

Ji Beitang felt like something was stuck in his throat and was unable to refute what he said.

"Xiaotang, I didn't come to you just to satisfy my own selfish desires."

Xu Muzhe gently took Ji Beitang's hand and put it against his cheek, "I know you are very unhappy, I just want to take you away from here. As for whether you are willing to be with me or not, it doesn't matter to me. We can escape abroad, and don't worry about the money. I will never let you reduce the quality of life, I..."

Ji Beitang suppressed his discomfort and pulled his hand back.

"Where can you escape to? You underestimate the connections of the Ji and Gu families."

"There is always a way, trust me."

With the help of the system, no matter how powerful these two families are, it is impossible to catch them.

It’s a pity that Ji Beitang didn’t know the system, and in his heart he had already given up the chance to escape.

He knew that there was no way to persuade Xu Muzhe to leave, so he put on a cold and disgusted face and looked up at Xu Muzhe.

"In fact, I never wanted to be with you. I said I wanted to go with you just to trick you. Who made you betray me? I had already made plans to come back and get married."

"I knew it a long time ago." Xu Muzhe's face was calm, "Gu Zilin told me everything."

"What!" Ji Beitang bit his lip and said in a trembling voice, "You actually know everything."
