After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Chapter 18: The Dugong in Nightmare

After Si Jiu was coaxed to sleep by Wen Baizhi again, Rong Heng packed up the medicine box.

"Madam, Si Jiu should be better now, after all he vomited. But if he wakes up later, I'm afraid his stomach will feel uncomfortable, and he may have a high fever again. I will leave a prescription for Ping An so that he can prepare the medicine, but..." Rong Heng hesitated to speak.

Wen Baizhi arranged Si Jiu's quilt and said, "Doctor Rong, just speak directly if you have anything to say."

Rong Heng then continued, "But this stomach disease is closely related to one's mood. Si Jiu has been overthinking before, and I have advised him many times to no avail. I saw that he seemed very different to you, Madam, today. Perhaps, if Madam stays by his side for a while, his health should get better and better, and he won't be as weak as he is now."

Wen Baizhi knew that Rong Heng was truly thinking about Si Jiu: "In that case, if I want to ask Doctor Rong about Si Jiu's physical condition, will Doctor Rong tell me?"

As she expected, Rong Heng shook his head and said, "Madam, please forgive me for not being able to tell you anything. After all, this is Si Jiu's private matter. I think it would be better for you to ask him directly."

Wen Baizhi asked: "What if he doesn't tell me?"

Rong Heng replied: "That means the time has not come yet."

Wen Baizhi didn't give up and said, "I just want to know where he's feeling uncomfortable so I can take better care of him."

Rong Heng showed a subtle expression and said, "His heart is the most seriously injured part. If his heart is dead, everything else is dead too."

After saying that, he picked up the medicine box and opened the door.

Ping'an had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Rong Heng coming out, he hurried forward to ask.

Rong Heng gave him the prescription.

"It's a bit dirty inside, let's find someone to clean it up."

Ping An handed the prescription to the person below, and then found someone to go in and clean the room with him.

After entering, he found Si Jiu sleeping soundly in bed.

Wen Baizhi was waiting by the bed.

Although he was shocked, he did not slow down and quickly cleaned up the mess and left the room.

Wen Baizhi was a little helpless. She wanted Ping'an to stay with her so that she could change clothes and have a meal.

But seeing that Si Jiu's eyes were still obviously dark blue while he was sleeping, she still sat beside him, just looking at his sleeping face.

She noticed that Si Jiu's lips were a little chapped. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Si Jiu's lips had always been so dry, and it seemed that he didn't drink much water.

Even today when she handed him the water bag to rinse his mouth and drink water, he just drank a mouthful of water with difficulty and spit it out without drinking another sip.

She guessed it might be because he didn't like drinking water.

Gradually, she felt sleepy and her eyes kept shaking.

Finally she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the edge of the bed with her hands as a pillow.

After she fell asleep, Si Jiu, who should have been asleep on the bed, opened his eyes.

He woke up after vomiting out the wine, but Wen Baizhi didn't notice it. She was so careful to get a pillow and cover him with a quilt. He couldn't tell her that he was awake, so he had to pretend to be asleep.

It was not until Wen Baizhi lay down beside the bed and her even breathing showed that she was asleep too that he woke up.

He tilted his head and looked at the top of her black hair.

She may not know that it usually takes a lady from a wealthy family at least half an hour to comb her hair in the morning.

But she just tied her hair up as she did before, and even used just an ordinary hairpin.

Si Jiu's heart was filled with bitterness.

If someone as stupid as her were seen by anyone who knew her past, they would be able to see her true self at a glance.

If the one in the palace found out...

Si Jiu felt his whole body tense up and his heart ached just thinking about it.

The pain brought by the punishment in the past seemed to still be there, and he could still hear the man's teasing even when he closed his eyes.

"For a filthy person like you, having the false title of her fiancé during your lifetime is not enough, do you still hope to have her after death? I tell you, don't even think about it, she is mine, she has always been mine! Since you want to be her man so much, then I will fulfill your wish, and I will make you no longer a complete man. I don't think you have the qualifications to compete with me for her!"

Then came the days of darkness.

The severe pain in my lower body and the grief after knowing that I was no longer a man still hang over my head like a dark cloud to this day.

He couldn't avoid it anyway.

Thinking of this, he felt chilled to the bone as usual, and even his teeth were chattering with a slight sound.

Wen Baizhi was awakened by this sound.

But she was worried about Si Jiu's health and didn't sleep very soundly, so she woke up quickly.

What caught my eye was Si Jiu still shivering under the quilt.

But his eyes were open. Wen Baizhi looked into his eyes and found that they were out of focus, as if he was blind.

She was anxious and held his shoulders with both hands: "Sijiu, Sijiu, wake up quickly."

Si Jiu still didn't say anything, but his shaking became more and more violent. Wen Baizhi felt that the whole bed seemed to be shaking.

Wen Baizhi began to shake his shoulders: "Si Jiu, Si Jiu, wake up quickly, are you trapped in a nightmare? It's all fake, it's all fake, Si Jiu, wake up quickly."

Seeing that it didn't work, Wen Baizhi sat on the bed and placed Si Jiu's head on her lap.

She placed one hand on Si Jiujiu's unblinking eyes and held Si Jiujiu's icy hand with the other.

"Zijin, wake up quickly. If you are trapped in a nightmare and can't get out, just feel my warmth. You can hold my hand and I will lead you out. Zijin, don't let the nightmare trap you."

Si Jiu felt like he had fallen into a sea with huge waves, but suddenly a piece of drifting wood appeared in front of him and he grabbed it with all his strength.

"Zijin, Zijin."

Is his name.

This is the name that the emperor has deprived people of for three years and no one is allowed to mention.

Stupid Wen Baizhi, if all the previous similarities with Wen Bai were just coincidences.

So once the name Si Zijin is called out, who else could she be but Wen Bai.

The second young lady of the Wen family would definitely not know her own name.

Si Jiu tried hard to wake up from the overwhelming despair, and the first thing he saw was her palm.

Wen Baizhi felt an eyelash gently brushing across her palm, and she knew that Si Jiu had woken up.

Her tone was filled with unconcealed happiness: "You finally woke up." As she said that, she removed her hand that was on his eyes.

Si Jiu silently held her hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I scared you today."

Wen Baizhi said with relief: "It really scared me, especially just now, when you clearly had your eyes open but you ignored me no matter how I called you, I was really worried to death."

Si Jiu focused his attention on her face. "It's an old problem. Rong Heng said it's like the soul-leaving disease. The body is here, but the soul is somewhere else, so it can't be awakened in a short time."

Wen Baizhi asked in a daze: "What if it happens again next time?"

Si Jiu pretended to think: "Maybe you can just slap me a few times."

Wen Baizhi quickly proved: "I didn't hit you just now, that's how I called you."

Si Jiu stopped teasing her: "I know, I heard you calling me."

The only voice that can call him back to the world of mortals is hers.
