After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi was overwhelmed by shame when she saw this.

She went to Si Jiu and squatted down like him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought it was okay for you to eat this meat floss, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Si Jiutu's eyes were red and the veins on his neck were exposed.

But he still waved his hand at Wen Baizhi: "It's okay, it's my own fault."

Wen Baizhi grasped his cold hand and said, "Are you feeling better? I'll help you sit over there."

Si Jiu nodded slightly, and Wen Baizhi helped him sit down at the table as she did before.

But after sitting down, she immediately pushed the bowl of porridge with meat floss aside.

"No, I won't force you to eat anything you can't eat anymore."

Si Jiu didn't want her to have a grudge because of this, so he said, "It's all due to my own health. It has nothing to do with you or anything else."

Wen Baizhi poured him a glass of water: "But if I hadn't insisted on you eating this meat floss today, you wouldn't have vomited so badly just now. You haven't been in good health recently, and now you've messed it up again."

Si Jiu took the cup of water and put it in his hand, but he didn't drink it. "Never blame yourself for the consequences of other people's choices. I wanted to eat that porridge, you just brought it to me, so I should bear the consequences myself."

It was rare for Si Jiu to say so many words at once, so Wen Baizhi looked at him in surprise.

Then she realized that he hadn't drunk the glass of water she had just poured for him.

"Drink some water and relax."

Si Jiu's eyes flickered: "I don't want to drink now."

Wen Baizhi expressed her understanding: "That's right, you just vomited, your stomach must be uncomfortable now, if you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. I'll pour you some hot water later."

Si Jiu put the cup on the table: "In that case, thank you very much."

Wen Baizhi: "Why are you thanking me? I promised Dr. Rong that I would take good care of you, and you were so uncomfortable because of me vomiting just now."

Si Jiu just looked at her tenderly.

Under the candlelight, his face looked particularly gentle to Wen Baizhi.

His eyes were like water, about to drown her.

Wen Baizhi coughed lightly, stood up, and walked to the couch.

She raised her hand and shook the quilt a few times: "It's getting late, wash up early and go to bed."

Si Jiu's face was obviously flustered: "Shall we sleep on this couch together tonight?"

Wen Baizhi placed the two pillows side by side: "Yes, we are husband and wife, we must sleep in the same tent when we go out. There is only one couch in this tent, so we must sleep together."

Si Jiu blushed a little: "Actually, there is no need to do this. I can sleep on the floor later."

Wen Baizhi turned around and looked at him: "No, you think this is the Governor's Mansion, look at the ground here, it's all mud, you sleep on the ground, not only will the quilt get dirty, but it will also be very cold at night, you are not in good health to begin with, and you will get sick from the cold."

Si Jiu still insisted: "But you are, after all, a---"

He hesitated and didn't say anything.

Wen Baizhi said firmly: "It's settled. Two choices. Either you sleep on the soft bed and I sleep on the floor."

Si Jiu immediately refused: "No, how can you sleep on the floor? It's so cold."

Wen Baizhi followed his words and said, "Yes, you know it's so cold, right? So I can't sleep, and neither can you."

She walked back to his side and said, "So the second option is that I sleep on the couch with you. We just sleep together and don't do anything else. Doctor Rong said that you have a fever these days. If I sleep with you at night, I can find out in time if you have any problems."

Si Jiu had no choice but to agree after struggling for a long time: "Then we will sleep under two quilts, you sleep on the inside and I sleep on the outside."

Wen Baizhi nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Wen Baizhi washed up in the tent first. After she finished her simple wash, she called Si Jiu in.

"I heard from Ping An that you have to take a bath at night no matter what the season is, but you can't today. The environment here doesn't allow it. You can just wash yourself briefly. I have put hot water in a new bucket for you. You can go in and take a bath."

After saying that, Wen Baizhi pushed him in.

Si Jiu saw that there was indeed a bucket placed in front of the couch.

He walked over there slowly, sat on the couch, and stiffly took off his shoes and socks.

When he put his feet in the hot water, Si Jiu suddenly felt a warm current all over his body.

He looked down at his feet in the water. Because he was too thin, the insteps of his feet looked very dry and particularly ugly.

Even his ankles were so thin that they looked unrecognizable.

He even saw his own blurry face in the water.

He was only twenty-two years old three years ago, and now he is twenty-five.

Five years older than Wen Baizhi now.

He was so thin that he looked ugly, and in his opinion, he was no longer worthy of her.

What about later, in the future?

He was in poor health, Qi Yan'an targeted him everywhere, and he made many enemies in the court.

Even his reputation among the people is very bad.

He is simply unable to give her more happiness and future.

Si Jiu didn't take his feet out of the water until the water began to get cold.

Wen Baizhi, who was waiting outside the tent, found that a long time had passed and he still hadn't come out.

I just called him a few times outside the tent.

But Si Jiu, who was immersed in world-weariness, did not hear it.

Ping An was not there at the moment, and Wen Baizhi was worried that something might happen to him in there. She kept talking and offended him, so she rushed in directly.

After entering the tent, she found Si Jiu sitting quietly on the couch.

But the feet were not out of the water yet.

She frowned slightly and walked over.

It wasn't until she stood in front of Si Jiu and her shadow completely covered him that he noticed she had come in.

"You, why did you come in?"

Si Jiu was at a loss as to what to do and tried to stop his feet.

He really didn't want her to see him in such an ugly state.

He took his feet out of the bucket, but had nowhere to put them.

Water was still dripping from his feet, and he became even more panicked as he couldn't find the place.

Wen Baizhi folded her arms and watched his movements.

She had no idea that this man was so conservative that he wouldn't even let people see his feet.

But seeing him so uneasy, she felt distressed again.

So she sat down and took the handkerchief that was prepared from beside him.

"The handkerchief is right next to you, you may not have noticed it." She said as she reached out to touch his leg.

Si Jiu noticed her movements and said stiffly, "No, you can't."

Wen Baizhi didn't stop moving, and was about to reach his legs: "What can't I do?"

Si Jiu seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He kept repeating, "You can't, you can't do this to me."

"I don't deserve it."

Because he was a little confused, Wen Baizhi didn't hear clearly what he said next.

Just as she leaned forward to wipe his feet, Si Jiuchu's bare feet landed on the ground.

Wen Baizhi froze in her tracks.
