After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After Si Jiu woke up completely, he realized belatedly that he was resting his head on Wen Baizhi's legs, even holding her hand.

His first reaction was to look at Wen Baizhi's face.

He raised his head slightly and saw that her expression was calm. He felt relieved and continued to hold her hand nervously and expectantly.

Unlike before, the two of them seemed particularly silent this time.

Wen Baizhi was concerned about Si Jiu's health.

Si Jiu was enjoying this secret pleasure.

Just then, Ping An's nervous voice came from outside the door.

"Master Du, Madam, the medicine that Doctor Rong ordered has been prepared. He said it should be taken while it is hot."

Ping An's arrival slightly eased the awkward atmosphere between them.

Wen Baizhi was just about to get up to get the medicine when she remembered that Si Jiu was still lying on her lap.

Then he said awkwardly: "Why don't you lie down on the bed first, I'll go get the medicine and come back."

Although Si Jiu was reluctant, he still slowly raised his head.

Wen Baizhi supported him, and considering that he would have to take medicine later, she let him lean against the head of the bed and placed a pillow behind him.

After everything was ready, she went to open the door.

Ping'an held the bowl of medicine, full of fear.

Because he knew that Si Jiu's mood swings were the greatest when he was sick, and although he was usually kind and cheerful, he would often lose control at that time.

But what was different from the past was that this time, Si Jiu's room could actually tolerate the presence of another person. Even at this moment, Si Jiu, who was leaning against the bed, clearly showed a calm expression that was different from any previous time.

He suppressed his curiosity and prepared to hand the medicine bowl to Wen Baizhi before leaving.

But Wen Baizhi stopped him.

"Eunuch Ping, wait a moment."

Ping An just stood there.

Wen Baizhi said gently, "The governor just had an acupuncture injection, and his clothes are soaked with sweat. Please feed the medicine to the governor and help him change his clothes later."

Ping An blurted out, "Where's the Madam?"

Wen Baizhi said: "I came back from the Wen Mansion early in the morning, and I haven't had time to go back to the house to drink water and eat. I am also a little tired. I'll trouble you to take care of me later."

After saying this, Ping An felt as if a pair of eyes were falling directly on him.

He was still struggling: "Madam, you know, I am not good at this. I am afraid I won't be able to serve you well later."

Wen Baizhi reassured him, "No, I believe you can do it. I am really a little tired."

Perhaps thinking that she had not yet informed the owner of the room, Wen Baizhi went to Si Jiu's bed again.

"I know you like to be clean. I've seen you being meticulous these past few days, so let Ping An help you change clothes and take medicine later."

Si Jiu looked at her and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Go back and have a good rest."

Wen Baizhi was looking at him at this moment. For some reason, although he had a normal expression, she always felt that there were tears in his eyes.

So she said, "Take good care of yourself. If it's convenient in the evening, I'll come and have dinner with you."

After saying this, Wen Baizhi clearly felt that Si Jiu's eyes in front of her suddenly seemed to be filled with light.

Si Jiu said: "Then I'll wait for you."

Wen Baizhi nodded: "Then I'll leave first."

Wen Baizhi looked back almost every three steps.

She herself didn't know how she felt at the moment.

It was not until she returned to the room and lay on the bed with Si Jiu that she realized that everything she did to Si Jiu today was out of love, and she was reluctant to leave.

But these emotions came and went quickly, and when Cuizhi brought the food into the room, she quickly immersed herself in it.

It has to be said that although the food she ate today at the Wen Mansion was high-end, she was always worried that Si Jiu's drinking would affect his health, and she almost didn't taste the food.

Now that she was back home, even in this small room, she was still eating happily.

But Si Jiu on the other side did not receive such treatment, and it was extremely difficult for him to drink the bowl of medicine.

The medicine tastes bitter, but before, Si Jiu could have finished it in one breath.

But today, for some reason, I felt nauseous every time I took a sip of medicine.

He swallowed hard a few times to avoid vomiting.

Ping'an stood by the bed, sweating nervously.

It took me a cup of tea to finish a bowl of medicine.

Si Jiu was sweating from the pain.

He handed the medicine bowl to Ping An and said, "Go prepare some bath water for me."

Ping An said respectfully, "I will go right away."

Si Jiu likes cleanliness.

It was even worse after I cleansed myself three years ago.

Because he is different from other men, he sometimes reveals some embarrassing things unconsciously.

Sometimes you only discover it after you smell a strange odor.

So slowly, he began to learn to control the amount of water he drank, for fear that drinking too much water would cause unconscious embarrassment.

They also carry sachets with them to cover up any unpleasant odors.

Even when doing something important, they would wrap long and thin strips of cloth around their abdomen several times.

The purpose is to eliminate all possibilities.

When I went to the Wen residence today, I wanted to wrap myself in a cloth strip like I did before, but I didn't because I was afraid that Wen Baizhi, who was so close to me, would notice something was wrong.

Apart from those few glasses of wine he did not drink a sip of water.

But when he took off his clothes and stood next to the bathtub, he found that he was still wet down there.

For a moment he was frozen in place like an ice cube.

He didn't dare to think whether Wen Baizhi had smelled any strange odor.

Just thinking about this possibility made him want to die.

Ping An had already retreated out of the room.

Si Jiu stood for a long time, until he had no strength left and could only hold on to the edge of the bucket for support.

The water in the bucket slowly cooled down.

Si Jiu didn't want others to see his disheveled appearance at this moment, but he was eager to wash off the odor on his body.

So he stepped into the cold water.

All of a sudden, all the coldness came towards him.

He was shivering in the cold water.

He poured the cold water over every inch of his body in a self-torturing manner.

Until the cold water covered his face.

He hugged his knees with both hands, pressed his face against them, and cried silently.

Ping An waited for a long time, but this kind of situation had happened often before, so he didn't think much about it.

Ping An didn't realize something was wrong until this time it lasted longer than any of the previous times.

He called out to Si Jiu several times at the door but there was no response.

Ping An went straight into the house.

Si Jiu was found in the bathtub, having been unconscious in the cold water for who knows how long.

Wen Baizhi didn't know that Si Jiu had fainted again, and she was still waiting to find him to have dinner together.

But when she walked outside Si Jiu's house, Ping An blocked her way.

Wen Baizhi explained: "Before I left in the afternoon, I made an appointment with your supervisor to have dinner together in the evening. Didn't you hear it when you were there?"

Ping An said seriously, "Madam, the Supervisor is not very convenient right now. He told me to wait for you outside and tell you that we won't have dinner together."

Wen Baizhi asked: "Is he feeling unwell again?"

Ping An replied, "Everything is fine, Lord Supervisor."

Wen Baizhi guessed that something really delayed him. Since she had just arrived, it was not appropriate to disturb him, so she turned around and left without saying anything more.

Si Jiu was huddled under the window in the house. He saw her leaving through the small gap in the window, and his eyes became red again.
