After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Although Wen Baizhi was extremely busy here, she did not forget to send someone back to tell Si Jiu that she would be back later and asked him to go to bed early and not wait for her.

She had expected that Si Jiu would continue to wait for her regardless of advice, but she didn't expect that when she returned, she would see Si Jiu clutching the bed sheets tightly in pain.

It was already late at night when Wen Baizhi returned, and it felt as if the sky would become brighter in the next second.

It was Cuizhi who couldn't bear to see her suffer here anymore, so she persuaded her to go back several times.

"Miss, we can complete everything here step by step. You should go back and have a rest first. Otherwise, you will have to travel hard again early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."

Wen Baizhi wanted to stay a little longer, but Ping An kept persuading her.

Only then did she leave and go back to find Si Jiu.

When she returned to the room, she first saw Si Jiu lying obediently on the bed and even knew to cover herself with a blanket, which made her very relieved.

It’s like an old mother who has worked hard outside all day. When she comes home and sees her child waiting for her obediently, she feels that all the hard work and tiredness are worth it.

Wen Baizhi didn't know why she thought of this and smiled to herself.

Since Si Jiu was resting well now, she prepared to wash up, change into comfortable and clean clothes, and come back to hug Si Jiu to sleep.

Enjoy the soft big bed that you won't have for the next month.

But just as she was about to go out, she suddenly realized that she had missed some details.

Although Si Jiu was already lying in bed, based on his previous behavior, he would definitely not fall asleep before Wen Baizhi came back.

Moreover, he has always been a light sleeper, so if Wen Baizhi pushed the door open, he would definitely notice it.

According to him, Si Jiu should have woken up by now, and then stretched out his arms to her stickyly, begging for a hug.

But he was so quiet at this moment.

Wen Baizhi didn't even bother to wash up.

She returned to Si Jiu's bedside, ready to check on his condition.

Sure enough, Si Jiu was facing inside at this moment, with the quilt covering his body properly, but he seemed to be shivering underneath the quilt.

Wen Baizhi knelt down beside the bed, wanting to see Si Jiu's expression.

But I saw that he should not be asleep.

Because his hands were still tightly grasping the sheets under him.

Wen Baizhi knew at a glance that he was not feeling well.

"Zijin, wake up, what's wrong?"

Just as Wen Baizhi thought, Si Jiu had not fallen asleep.

When she came back, he knew it immediately.

However, when Wen Baizhi left, he was under too much pressure and had not eaten or drunk properly today, so he fumbled on the ground for a while.

It was at this moment that all the pain in the body gathered together and showed signs of exploding.

The first thing to be affected was his stomach.

He opened his eyes with great effort and saw Wen Baizhi's worried face. He did not forget to comfort her, "It's just a stomachache, it's no big deal."

Wen Baizhi reached her hand into the still cold quilt covering him, and the first thing she touched was Si Jiu's abdomen.

Like every time before, when Si Jiu had stomachache, his abdomen would feel hard and cold.

When you reach out and touch it, you can feel the throbbing underneath.

But when Wen Baizhi touched Si Jiu's abdomen, she also keenly noticed the heat in other parts of his body.

As if to verify it, Wen Baizhi touched his forehead.

"You still have a fever."

Wen Baizhi came to the conclusion.

"But when I just came back, Rong Heng had already taken some people out to collect herbs. I guess they won't be back until dawn. You look very serious now."

Although Wen Baizhi's hands were warm, they were still cooler than Si Jiu's forehead.

He should feel very comfortable when she puts it on his forehead. Even when Si Jiu has a fever, he also wants to rub her hand with his forehead.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Wen Baizhi might know better than Si Jiu himself that his body couldn't be healed by just a good night's sleep like others.

"I'll get you a basin of water. I'll wipe your forehead. It's cool and will make you feel much better."

Wen Baizhi was about to get out of bed as she spoke.

But he was held back by Si Jiu's sweaty hand.

"Don't go, don't leave. It's almost dawn and you've been tired for such a long time. Take a good rest first. I'm really fine."

Si Jiu was stubborn and didn't want Wen Baizhi to leave, so he held her hand and squeezed it as tightly as he could.

Wen Baizhi was reluctant to refuse the plea of ​​a sick person. She thought that it was almost dawn and Rong Heng should be back by the time they set out. It would be safer to ask him to come and check on Si Jiu.

Now you might as well go along with him and coax him a little.

After all, if a patient wants to recover his health, a good mood is also an important factor.

"OK then."

Wen Baizhi didn't even have time to go out and wash up, and her clothes were still stained with the smell of kitchen smoke.

But judging from the situation, Si Jiu probably wouldn't let her go out to wash and change clothes.

So she simply sat on the bed and took off her outer clothes one by one, until only her undershirt was left.

After taking off her clothes, she skillfully crawled into the cold quilt, hugged Si Jiu's feverish body, and pressed his stomach with her hands.

In such a silent environment, neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Si Jiu spoke something.

He said, "Bai Bai, if you follow me, you will have a hard time in the future."

If he wasn't sick at the moment, Wen Baizhi would definitely slap him on the head.

"Si Jiu, it's your freedom to say it or not, but it's also my right to listen or not. Anyway, I don't really like hearing you say this."

Si Jiu's head felt as heavy as if it was filled with water. He could hear the sound of his own heart beating rapidly just by swallowing his saliva.

He also knew that it was very hypocritical and bad for him to say this now, but in his dazed state, he really couldn't control himself.

Especially as soon as tomorrow morning comes, they may have to face new challenges.

"I'm sorry, Baibai. I know you don't like it, but I just can't control myself..."

When Si Jiu's body temperature rose, his tears were hot.

Wen Baizhi kissed away his tears distressedly: "You don't need to apologize to me, Zijin. I told you that it is your freedom to say whatever you want. You don't need to apologize for your freedom, but you just need to know that I don't like to hear it. Just don't say it in front of me in the future. When I'm not around and you're alone, you can say it all night long without any problem."

Si Jiu chuckled when he heard that.

"How can we talk about it all night?" he asked back.

Wen Baizhi said confidently: "At times like that, it's not like we haven't talked about it all night and done it all night before."
