After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After Si Jiu said this, he didn't say much, but just looked at Wen Baizhi deeply and delicately.

Wen Baizhi felt a little hot when he looked at her.

She coughed twice unnaturally, trying to find some topics to talk about.

"Do you know where we are now?"

Only then did Si Jiu take the time to look around.

This was not the tent where he had been before, it should be in the carriage.

"In the carriage?"

Wen Baizhi nodded.

"Going back to Kyoto?" He was quite smart.

Wen Baizhi held his hand, which was still cold despite the high temperature. "On the way back to Kyoto, you were too ill and had a high fever. Rong Heng said that only by returning to Kyoto could we give you the best treatment. I asked Ping An to resign from His Majesty, and then I took you back."

Si Jiu's hand rested weakly on her palm: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wen Baizhi couldn't bear to hear him say such things: "You said I was tired and troubled me, but I don't feel tired at all. I just feel sorry for the suffering you have endured. You don't know that the temperature of your forehead is so high that an egg can be cooked if placed on it."

Si Jiu was so amused by what she said that he choked while laughing.

He coughed with difficulty, and every time he coughed he felt a slight tearing sensation in the wound.

Seeing that he was coughing with difficulty, Wen Baizhi went over to him and helped him up and held him in her arms.

"Take your time, Zijin. No rush. Take your time."

Wen Baizhi said as she helped him smooth his back.

Only after the coughing stopped did Si Jiu, panting, press against her collarbone.

Wen Baizhi patted him on the back again, so gently that it seemed as if she was about to squeeze water out of him.

Si Jiu coughed so much that tears came out of the corners of his eyes. Wen Baizhi saw this and wiped the water away with her fingers.

"Are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"

Si Jiu nodded.

Wen Baizhi reached directly for the water on the table and carefully fed it to him.

After drinking the water, Si Jiu noticed that there were five or six lights on in the small carriage.

In the past, Wen Baizhi would light two lamps at most because she always felt that the lights were an eyesore.

Wen Baizhi couldn't tell him that it was because of the dream that she knew Si Jiu was afraid of the dark, so she had turned on so many lights tonight.

Si Jiu waved his hand slightly to indicate that he didn't want to drink anymore, and Wen Baizhi put the water back on the table.

"How long until we get there?" he asked.

Wen Baizhi estimated the time in her heart and replied, "It will take about an hour to get there."

Si Jiu had walked this road many times before and knew that it would not take so long.

"Did you take another path?"

Wen Baizhi replied: "It's because I'm concerned about your health. I'm afraid that if I run too fast and the road is too bumpy, it will make you feel uncomfortable."

It turned out to be because of him.

Si Jiu grabbed the clothes at her side: "Thank you."

Wen Baizhi looked down at him: "Thank me for what?"

Si Jiu was speechless for a moment.

There were so many things he needed to thank her for that he didn't know where to start.

"Thank you for everything," he said.

Wen Baizhi smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me. You never need to say thank you to me, nor do you need to say sorry to me."

Si Jiu stuck close to Wen Baizhi. Even though the carriage was moving at a very slow speed, he still felt nauseous due to his high fever.

But only by relying on Wen Baizhi, as long as he was by her side, it seemed that all the discomfort could be ignored by him.

All his senses unconditionally leaned towards Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi touched his forehead: "It's still a little hot, but not as hot as it was at the beginning."

Si Jiu closed his eyes.

"Sleep a little longer, you'll be home when you wake up."

Home?

Can I have my own home?

He asked in a half-asleep state, "Will you be coming home too?"

Wen Baizhi gave the answer he wanted.

"If I don't go home, where else can I go? Don't forget that we are husband and wife now."

Hearing this answer, Si Jiu fell asleep again with a satisfied smile.

Wen Baizhi could have placed the sleeping Si Jiu directly on the couch, but every time she moved, she could see that he was restless in his dream again.

After several attempts, Wen Baizhi took the pillow and placed it behind her waist, then sat against the wall of the carriage, pulled the quilt over Si Jiu's entire body, and let him continue to sleep in her arms.

Both of them slept very soundly until the carriage stopped in front of the Governor's Mansion, and they were awakened by Ping An.

Wen Baizhi had been leaning here for so long that her back had already become stiff.

Si Jiu was awakened by her shouting: "Zi Jin, wake up, we are home."

When Si Jiu woke up, his eyes were clear and he didn't look like he had just woken up at all.

When he saw that he was still leaning in Wen Baizhi's arms, his first reaction was to ask her: "Are you okay? Why don't you put me down?"

Wen Baizhi straightened her back calmly: "Seeing you sleeping so soundly leaning against me, I couldn't bear to push you away."

Si Jiu naturally knew that he slept most peacefully next to her, but he still couldn't bear to see her suffer so much.

"Next time just push me away. If I make you uncomfortable, I will be even more upset."

Wen Baizhi was worried that if she didn't agree to him, it would make him more entangled, so she said perfunctorily: "I'll listen to you. Let's get off the car first. Can you walk by yourself?"

Si Jiu had a high fever and his limbs were weak. He tried to stand up, but sat back down due to exhaustion.

He looked at Wen Baizhi helplessly: "It doesn't seem to be very good."

Wen Baizhi pushed the quilt and pillow aside and held his arm: "I'll take you away."

She helped Si Jiu stand up, let him put one arm on her shoulders, and then she put her arms around his waist.

When I stepped out of the carriage, it was pitch black outside, with only a few lights in front of the carriage emitting dim light.

Wen Baizhi noticed that Si Jiu's whole body tensed up the moment he came out, so she hugged him even tighter.

"It's a little dark outside. It's okay. I'll carry you and won't let you fall."

Si Jiu moved closer to her and listened carefully to the instructions she whispered in his ear.

It was too dark, but with her around, it didn't seem so scary.

The two of them supported each other all the way back to Si Jiu's room.

It wasn't until Si Jiu sat on the bed that Wen Baizhi could breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't dare to relax, and took off Si Jiu's outer robe and let him sit on the bed.

"Rong Heng should be here soon, just wait."

Si Jiu nodded.

Ping An then brought Rong Heng to the room.

Rong Heng first checked Si Jiu's wound and found some bleeding.

"It's probably caused by the bumps on the road and the movement. It's time to change the dressing, so I'll just change it for him."

Si Jiu was in a coma when he was treating his wounds, so Wen Baizhi could just stay there.

But now Si Jiu is awake. She feels that she is not suitable to stay here, so she decides to leave.

Si Jiu has always supported her, although he doesn't know why she wants to stay away from him now, and although he feels very disappointed, he still says goodbye to her.

When the gauze was taken off, he couldn't help but think that he was now back in the Governor's Mansion, not in the small tent from the previous autumn hunt.

It seemed as if he could never be in the same room with her again.
