After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

When Wen Baizhi brought the food back, Si Jiu had already tidied up and was sitting at the table.

Wen Baizhi put the food on the table: "There is nothing delicious for lunch today, so I just took a few steamed buns to eat."

Si Jiu has never cared about food. He doesn't care about food, and if he wants to eat, he can eat anything.

So whether it is steamed buns or something else, he is willing to eat it.

What's more, it was Wen Baizhi who brought it to him.

After putting the things on the table, Wen Baizhi first took out a steamed bun and gave it to him.

"This steamed bun is big and sweet, try it."

Si Jiu looked at the steamed bun in front of him, it was indeed big.

He certainly couldn't eat so much, not to mention his waist was still hurting.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, unable to speak out, Wen Baizhi understood.

"Can't you eat so much?"

Si Jiu nodded awkwardly.

In the eyes of the world, most men are tall and strong.

But what about him.

Not only is he not a man, he is also so thin.

Now I can’t even eat a steamed bun.

Wen Baizhi didn't know what he was thinking, so she just said, "Then do you mind sharing a steamed bun with me?"

Si Jiu raised his eyes and looked at her with a little confusion.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wen Baizhi moved closer to him again and said in a sweeter tone: "I say, can you give me half of the steamed buns, Lord Du?"

Si Jiu understood now.

He didn't know whether Wen Baizhi wanted to protect his last bit of fragile self-esteem, but the facts proved that he could always be comforted by her few words.

He cut the bun in his hand into two, and then instinctively handed the larger one to her.

"Here you go," he said.

Wen Baizhi immediately raised her hands in front of her, took the steamed bun in an exaggerated manner and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Governor."

When Si Jiu saw her exaggerated expression, he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that he was finally not as lifeless as before, Wen Baizhi felt relieved.

She took a bite of the bun.

Although it is bland, you can taste its sweetness after chewing it carefully.

Maybe it's just like Si Jiu now.

Although he looked like he didn't want anyone to approach him and even looked weak and pale.

But Wen Baizhi knew that beneath his appearance, he had a very soft heart.

She also felt a secret sense of pride, after all, she was the only one who could see Si Jiu like this.

Thinking of her, he took a sweet bite of the steamed bun and ate it.

As she was eating, she started thinking, what if she was not eating steamed buns at this moment.

But...

But it’s Si Jiu.

Si Jiu had no idea how unorthodox the thoughts in her mind were at the moment.

He also followed behind and slowly ate the steamed bun.

It was indeed as sweet as she said.

Wen Baizhi did bring back a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes.

The two of them slowly finished their meal with simple steamed buns and side dishes.

After dinner, Si Jiu suggested going with her to deliver something.

"My waist doesn't hurt anymore. Besides, I'd feel bored if I stayed in this room all the time," he said pitifully.

When Wen Baizhi saw his pleading eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Okay, okay." She finally agreed, "But we can't stay outside for long, we have to come back quickly."

Si Jiu made another request: "I still need to go find Rong Heng."

Wen Baizhi refused without a second thought: "This is absolutely not possible. You know that Rong Heng is a severely affected area. What if you go there and get infected by accident?"

Si Jiu said: "That's why I want to go find him. I came to Jinzhou by order. We all know the strangeness of that village now, so what I have to do is to learn all the information I can every day. Among them, Xiaobao's condition is the most important. I have to personally find out his recovery every day before I can feel at ease."

Wen Baizhi knew that what he said made sense, but she just couldn't let it go.

Smallpox can easily infect people with weak immunity.

Among them, Si Jiu has the weakest resistance.

So she still tried to say, "If you want to know what's going on, I'll go ask Rong Heng for you, you don't have to go."

Si Jiu shook his head at her with a firm look in his eyes: "If you have to help me do everything, then what is the purpose of the court sending me to Jinzhou, Baizhi, I came here for Dacheng and for the people. If I avoid doing such a small thing, then I don't deserve this title."

He said it very firmly.

Wen Baizhi naturally knew what he meant.

That's it, that's it.

It was just smallpox.

Si Jiu had faced so many setbacks alone before. There was no reason for her to protect him behind her now that she was back and prevent him from realizing his own value.

She finally nodded and said, "Okay, but when you go there later, you must wear your veil properly and not let it show even a little bit."

Si Jiu nodded.

Wen Baizhi didn't react until she walked out of the door: "So you just told me that you wanted to go with me to deliver something, and you said pitifully that you would be bored staying in the house, actually just to make me agree to let you go find Rong Heng, right?"

Seeing that she finally reacted, Si Jiu smiled faintly: "Miss Wen is very smart."

Wen Baizhi asked: "But you can just go find Rong Heng directly. The legs are on you, why did you have to ask me in advance and seek my opinion?"

Si Jiu was holding a lunch box. "Because I know you care about me and worry about me, so I feel I need to tell you what I'm going to do, something you think is very dangerous."

Wen Baizhi has always been most concerned about his health, and Si Jiu knows it.

He also didn't want to let this concern down.

Wen Baizhi then asked the last question: "So if I didn't agree with you going to find Rong Heng just now, would you go?"

Si Jiu immediately said, "No."

He then explained: "Because I know my physical condition best. Now every time I get sick, you are the one who causes the most trouble. I don't want you to take care of someone as sick as me without knowing anything."

Wen Baizhi then knew everything.

Si Jiu wants to find Rong Heng, but he needs her consent.

In fact, in his heart, he knew that she would definitely agree.

But if she didn't agree, he wouldn't go.

He carefully treasured her concern, yet was worried that she would be dragged down by him.

What a person with a lot of ideas.

She didn't say anything else for the rest of the ride.

Until the two of them went to find Rong Heng.

Wen Baizhi turned to Si Jiu and asked him to lower his head.

Si Jiu did as he was told.

Wen Baizhi took out a handkerchief from her sleeve.

"I'll help you cover your face with this handkerchief. When we get there later, don't go in. Just talk to Rong Heng outside. I'll urge you to wash your hands after we get back."

Because they had to wear a headband, the distance between them was very close.

They seemed to be able to feel the heat of each other's breath.

Wen Baizhi tied the handkerchief behind Si Jiu's head.

When she stood up, she found that Si Jiu was staring at her motionlessly.

Because she was so close, she could even see the little version of herself in Si Jiu's pupils.

No.

She couldn't bear it anymore.

Who can stand being stared at like this by the person you like?

Wen Baizhi turned around and ran away.

Si Jiu followed behind with a smile.
