Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

"It's you."

Pei Yanzhou immediately let go of his hand.

Mu Ruoqi glanced at her hand, feeling pain like needles in her heart, "There's no need to rush away from my hand, there's no virus on my hand."

She had a smile on her face but said the harshest words.

"No, I just... thought it was Cheng Xi." Pei Yanzhou explained weakly.

"Yeah, I'm also very confused. You have such a severe fever. Where is Cheng Xi? Isn't she your girlfriend? Where is she?" Mu Ruoqi asked with a calm face.

"She... doesn't know I'm sick."

Pei Yanzhou's chest was irritated and he didn't want to delve into this issue. He didn't even want to hear the word "Cheng Xi".

"Why are you here?" He changed the subject.

"Isn't my mother always in the hospital? I'm keeping vigil tonight. I saw you in the hospital when I was taking a walk at night. I didn't want to pay attention to you at first, but I still didn't worry. After my mother went to bed, I came over. You Why don't you call a nurse? The bodyguard guarding the door is not attentive at all. When I took your temperature, it was already 39 degrees."

Mu Ruoqi bit her lip and looked at him reproachfully with red eyes, "I just put a towel on your forehead and wiped your body to cool down a little. Do you feel better now?"

Pei Yanzhou suddenly realized, feeling warm and guilty in his heart, "Thank you, I'm feeling better. You can go back to stay with your aunt. The doctor just asked me to take antipyretic medicine. My temperature has dropped a little now, and the fever should subside soon."

"My mother is already asleep, and she has a caregiver there."

Mu Ruoqi stood up and poured him a glass of warm water, "Drink more water to reduce the fever. I won't leave until your fever is reduced."

She has a tough attitude.

Pei Yanzhou was a little uncomfortable with Mu Ruoqi like this.

But thinking back carefully, Mu Ruoqi seemed to be quite stubborn before he recovered his memory and returned to the Pei family.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Ruoqi suddenly asked.

"I have a headache. What else can I think about?" Pei Yanzhou pulled his lips lightly.

Mu Ruoqi lowered her eyes, "I remember when you were studying, you often had bad gastrointestinal problems and stomachaches. You were afraid that getting sick would cost the family money, so you endured it every time. As for me, I kept forcing you. When you go to the clinic, he will always be with you."

"……It's in the past."

Pei Yanzhou looked away with mixed emotions. Ever since he knew Mu Ruoqi's feelings for him, he was no longer able to remember the past with her like before.

"Yeah, it's all over for you, but for me, it's the most precious memory."

Mu Ruoqi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yan Zhou, actually I know very well that I am not important to you anymore, but I hope you will be better to yourself. You put Cheng Xi first. In order to save her You don’t even care about your life, you are afraid that she will go to jail, you have worked hard on her lawsuit, love yourself more, and think about your family members who care about you."

"……it is good."

Pei Yanzhou answered calmly.

But he was confused inside.

Is he really not good to himself?

seems like it.

In the past, he was in good health, but since last year, he has been sick frequently and stayed in bed for more than a month and in a wheelchair for two months.

In the past, Pei Yanzhou always thought that as long as Cheng Xi was by his side, he would be satisfied.

Maybe he was sick now, or maybe it was the helpless and freezing experience of falling on the floor alone that made Pei Yanzhou feel confused.

"You can take a nap. I'll be here to guard you. Once the potion is finished, I'll call the doctor." Mu Ruoqi's gentle voice sounded.

Pei Yanzhou felt so dizzy that he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep again.

……

When I woke up again, it was already dawn.

Pei Yanzhou touched his forehead and it seemed that it was not as hot as yesterday.

"Your fever has gone away."

Mu Ruoqi came over with breakfast, "I asked the doctor, and the doctor told you to eat lighter and take anti-inflammatory medicine after eating."

Pei Yanzhou tried to sit up with support.

Mu Ruoqi quickly supported him, helped him get a pillow and put it behind him.

"Ruoqi, thank you."

Pei Yanzhou stiffened and said calmly, "Go back. I'm much better. Auntie still needs you."

"My dad came here this morning." Mu Ruoqi said softly, "He is not too worried about you, so he asked me to stay here to take care of you."

After a pause, fearing that Pei Yanzhou would disagree, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't pester you. Come, have something to eat first."

Pei Yanzhou's thin lips moved, he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

It happened that I was actually a little hungry at this time.

He took the millet and red date porridge. The soft, glutinous and sweet porridge moisturized his stomach and made him feel better.

A drop of porridge stain on the spoon accidentally fell on the hospital gown.

Mu Ruoqi immediately took out a tissue and went over to wipe him.

"No, I'll just come..."

Pei Yanzhou was talking, but actually he was holding a bowl and a spoon in his hands, so he couldn't free his hands to solve the problem himself.

"Yan Zhou..."

The door to the ward was pushed open violently.

Cheng Xi rushed in.

The scene in the ward stunned her.

From her angle, she happened to see Mu Ruoqi sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Pei Yanzhou's hospital clothes in his hand, and his head seemed to be buried in Pei Yanzhou's chest. The two of them were in an intimate posture, like a very familiar couple.

And she seemed to be the most unnecessary person to intrude.

"I seem to have come at the wrong time?"

Cheng Xi's blood stagnated all over his body.

A wave of anger rushed to his head.

She took a deep breath and used all her rationality to restrain herself.

Be calm. You must stay calm at this time.

Pei Yanzhou subconsciously wanted to push Mu Ruoqi away and explain, but when he saw Cheng Xi's calm and expressionless face, his heart suddenly became cold.

She wasn't angry at all and didn't care about herself.

Why should I explain myself in a hurry?

Mu Ruoqi glanced at him and saw that he didn't push her away in a hurry, so she simply continued to carefully wipe off the stains on his hospital clothes before standing up, "You misunderstood, Yan Zhou just drank porridge and soiled his clothes. I'll wipe it for him."

Cheng Xi looked at Pei Yanzhou.

Although Mu Ruoqi's reaction made her sick, what she really cared about was Pei Yanzhou's attitude.

What disappointed her was that Pei Yanzhou looked calm, as if he didn't seem to care at all.

Cheng Xi didn't want Mu Ruoqi to see the joke, so she walked over and said coldly, "Miss Mu, thank you for taking care of my boyfriend, but since my girlfriend is here, you can leave."

Mu Ruoqi sneered, "Yes, Yan Zhou's fever has gone away, and he has finished breakfast, and you, the girlfriend, are here. Where were you when he was feeling the most uncomfortable?"

"This is between him and me, Mu Ruoqi, you are too lenient." Cheng Xi said angrily.

Mu Ruoqi glared at her hatefully and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yan Zhou is someone I care about. We grew up together. I just hope that you can sincerely treat him well instead of thinking of him when something happens. It's okay." Just kick him far away."
