After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After a quick wash, the two of them lay down on the couch to sleep.

Wen Baizhi, as usual, placed her hands on Si Jiu's abdomen and slowly rubbed his cold abdomen.

"When I met you tonight, you had a stomachache, didn't you?" she asked.

Si Jiu knew that he couldn't hide anything from her: "It's fine now."

Wen Baizhi snorted: "Not good at all, it's so cold, you really can endure it."

Si Jiu turned sideways to face her like a cat: "It's much better than before."

He told the truth.

He endured every stomachache in the past three years alone.

Although there are pills prepared by Rongheng, they are not so effective if you take too much.

Many times he would hold his knees like a shrimp and suffer numbness from the pain alone.

Now that Wen Baizhi is by my side, things are much better.

Wen Baizhi understood the meaning behind his words and felt even more distressed for him.

"If you feel uncomfortable in the future, either ask Rong Heng to prescribe medicine in time, or tell me. Even if I can't help you, I can at least serve you tea or something."

Si Jiu laughed: "How come you can't help?"

The role she played by his side was far greater than she had imagined.

Wen Baizhi thought of him holding up his body to find his own business tonight, so she asked:

"Did you wake up again tonight and find that I was not there, so you went out to look for me?"

Si Jiu rubbed her shoulder gently: "I was worried that something might happen to you, so I thought I'd go out and look for you to feel at ease."

Wen Baizhi freed a hand to touch his hair: "This is the place where the imperial court is hunting in autumn. There are heavy soldiers guarding everywhere. What will happen if I go there? Besides, didn't you always send Ping An to follow me? Are you still worried with him around?"

Si Jiu said nothing.

But he knew that no matter what time it was, he would not feel at ease if Wen Baizhi was not by his side even for a moment.

He has not yet completely gotten over the pain of losing Wen Bai three years ago. Sometimes in his dreams at midnight he would think of Wen Bai lying there lifeless.

Now that Wen Baizhi has finally returned to him, he can no longer bear the pain of losing her.

I'm just afraid that by then I will really follow her.

Wen Baizhi saw that he stopped talking and thought he was tired: "Okay, you are tired tonight too, go to bed early, you have a lot to do tomorrow, you have to go on duty, and then you have to drain the effusion when you come back, rest well and get ready for tomorrow."

Si Jiu hummed: "You are tired too, go to sleep."

The two of them tacitly stopped talking and fell asleep.

Si Jiu always sleeps well with Wen Baizhi by his side.

But tonight, perhaps because the possibility of Wen Baizhi leaving in the future kept lingering in his mind, he had a familiar nightmare again.

He opened his mouth wide and tried hard to let fresh air flow into his body, and only then did he wake up.

Wen Baizhi has now gotten used to not turning off the lights around her.

The first thing Si Jiu went to see was Wen Baizhi.

When he saw her lying beside him, soundly asleep.

Si Jiu's heart finally fell to the ground.

He moved towards her carefully.

For the first time, he stretched out his arm, placed it under the back of her head, and let her rest her head on his arm.

Then he slowly, breathing slowly, held her in his arms.

The moment he felt Wen Baizhi's face against his shoulder, Si Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

The lost treasure was back with him.

This time he won't let go no matter what.

The next day, when Wen Baizhi woke up, she saw Si Jiu squatting beside the couch with a piece of cloth in his hand, looking at her.

Wen Baizhi rubbed her eyes: "You woke up so early."

Si Jiu hadn’t been able to fall asleep since he woke up in shock yesterday.

He kept looking at Wen Baizhi's sleeping face.

"I'll need you to help me tie this strip of cloth today." His voice was a little hoarse.

Wen Baizhi sat up, then turned over and got off the couch, taking the strip of cloth from his hand.

"Didn't you say that you would stop tying this thing slowly?"

Although her tone was complaining, she did not stop and helped Si Jiu tie him up.

Si Jiu smiled and explained, "I was hurt too much yesterday. I'm worried that I won't be able to control my physical condition well today. If I make a fool of myself in front of others, that would be terrible."

Wen Baizhi moved quickly and had already reached the last step: "You always have so many reasons. You don't need to explain so much to me. I know you have them all. As long as you feel good about it, it's fine."

Si Jiu lowered his head and saw only her furry head leaning in front of him.

After the cloth strips were tied, Wen Baizhi brought all the clothes he wanted to wear.

Si Jiu quickly refused: "I can wear these myself, no need to trouble you."

Wen Baizhi ignored him: "As the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, I have already tied the cloth strips for you, so what's wrong with helping you put on clothes. Or does the governor think that I can't serve you well and want to find someone else to serve you."

Si Jiu certainly didn't think so: "I just think this will be very troublesome for you. In fact, I never needed anyone to serve me before."

He was telling the truth. There were almost no maids in the Governor's Mansion.

Wen Baizhi put the last outer robe on him and said, "There has never been any trouble between you and me."

She asked again: "Do you want to have breakfast before leaving?"

Si Jiu shook his head: "It's too late, I'm going there soon."

Wen Baizhi realized it later, and it might be because she woke up late, which made Si Jiu wait longer, and that’s why it’s too late now.

"Well, there can be no delay in the matter before the Emperor. Anyway, please be safe and protect yourself. I'll wait for you to come back here."

Si Jiu listened to her words and felt extremely reluctant.

For a moment, he almost wanted to be with her every moment.

Ignore all the outside world's affairs.

But he can't.

He still hardened his heart and said, "Okay, you have to be careful too. Don't go too far away. You must bring someone with you when you go out. Don't act alone."

The two of us talked to each other, which made Wen Baizhi laugh.

"If we continue talking, it will really waste time. Don't worry, I won't go anywhere today. I'm going to find Cuizhi and make the cushions to tie to your knees. I hope you can see them when you come back in the evening."

Si Jiu knew that she was not going to look for Shen Junce, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm leaving."

Wen Baizhi sent him to the door of the tent: "Go ahead, go ahead."

Si Jiu took one last deep look at her and finally walked away.

After he left, Wen Baizhi went back into bed and took a nap.

This era is good in every way except that there are too few entertainment and leisure activities.

Wen Baizhi fell in love with the activity of sleeping.

God knows how much she misses the Landlord, Mahjong and other games in modern society.

When she woke up again, she rolled over several times on the couch.

An idea suddenly popped into her mind.

After returning to Kyoto, I can open a few chess and card rooms like in modern society.

As long as you find a craftsman to make the cards and then arrange for someone to teach you the rules, there is no need to worry about not being able to learn.

When Cuizhi came in to help her get up, she saw her smiling foolishly.

Wen Baizhi smiled happily, as if she saw her own future business empire waving at her.
