After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi had no idea what was going on in Si Jiu's mind at the moment.

She just felt that after sitting in the carriage for so long, her body was smelly and sour.

She just wanted to go back to her room, take a shower, change clothes, have a meal, and then go find Si Jiu.

However, she fell asleep while taking a bath because she was so comfortable.

Cuizhi didn't know what her future plans were, and felt that she was also very busy, so she silently added water to her bathtub.

This keeps the water in this small bathtub comfortably warm.

It was almost two hours later when she woke up.

She called Cuizhi: "I fell asleep? How long did I sleep?"

Cuizhi helped her out of the tub: "It's been about two hours."

Wen Baizhi wiped the water off her body carelessly: "You slept for so long, why didn't you call me?"

Cuizhi hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Miss, I just saw that you were too tired, and wanted to let you sleep a little longer. I didn't wake you up in time. I'm really sorry Miss."

Wen Baizhi naturally wouldn't really blame Cuizhi. She also knew that she was probably too tired and that was why she slept for so long.

Thinking that two hours had passed, I had no intention of going to see Si Jiu, as I thought he should have changed his medicine and gone to bed.

But she was still worried, after all, she saw how weak Si Jiu was today.

After thinking about it, she decided to go find Si Jiu with her hair still wet.

When she came to Si Jiu's room, she found Ping An taking a nap leaning against the pillar.

Ping An woke up instantly when he noticed Wen Baizhi's arrival.

"Is your governor in there?" Wen Baizhi asked.

Ping An bowed and said, "It has been in there all along."

Wen Baizhi asked again: "Did Rong Heng prescribe medicine for him?"

Ping An replied: "I have taken the medicine."

She was very well-behaved and obedient, and Wen Baizhi felt that her trip was unnecessary.

She wanted to leave directly, but suddenly she saw that there was no light in Si Jiu's room.

"He didn't light the lamp?"

Ping An also looked inside the house: "There was a light originally, maybe the governor blew it out when he went to sleep."

It's impossible. Si Jiu is afraid of the dark and there is no way he would let himself fall into such darkness.

Something must have happened.

She took the lantern that Cuizhi was holding behind her and said, "I'll go in now. You guys wait outside."

The two men bowed their heads.

The door was not closed, Wen Baizhi pushed it and entered the room.

The room was indeed pitch black, and one could faintly smell the aroma of medicine.

Wen Baizhi followed her memory and walked towards Si Jiu's bed, but when she reached the bed, she found that Si Jiu was not there.

Then she held the lantern high and looked about the room for him.

Finally, I found Si Jiu sitting under a window.

She approached, lantern in hand.

A beam of light suddenly appeared in front of Si Jiu, who was immersed in darkness.

He felt a little blinded, and when he looked up he saw Wen Baizhi standing in front of him, bringing light with her.

As if it appeared in a dream, he knelt down in disbelief and hugged her calves.

Wen Baizhi was distracted by his sudden hug.

Then she felt the arms holding her trembling slightly.

She squatted down and put the lantern aside.

When Si Jiu saw Wen Baizhi approaching him, he suddenly felt as if he was still in a dream.

Didn't she leave? Didn't she not come here tonight?

Wen Baizhi took in all of his looks, and her first action was to touch his forehead.

Fortunately, it’s not as hot as it was at the beginning.

When she touched his forehead, Si Jiu finally felt that she was real.

He tentatively hugged her waist and buried himself in her arms.

It wasn't until the sound of her strong heartbeat rang in his ears that he confirmed that this was not a dream.

She came to him again.

Wen Baizhi realized belatedly that all the previous attempts were tests of her by him.

He seemed a little unsure whether he had really come.

She touched his head distressedly: "Your forehead isn't as hot as it was at the beginning, why are you still not awake?"

Si Jiu always thought that she would not come again tonight.

He calmly accepted the dressing change and took the medicine.

Everything seems to be fine.

But only he himself knew how miserable he was without Wen Baizhi by his side.

He wanted to find her, to stay close to her like before, and sleep in her arms.

So he began to wait.

I've been waiting and waiting, but Wen Baizhi still hasn't come.

He didn't even have the heart to light up the candles in the room until all the candles in the room went out.

The room was too dark, so he had to stagger out of bed and lean against the lighted window, feeling the last ray of light in the night sky.

But what he didn't expect was that Wen Baizhi came to him again.

He could have endured the loneliness and darkness forever, but why did she come now?

All the courage he had built up with great difficulty was shattered.

He complained in her arms, "Why did you come just now?"

Wen Baizhi explained softly, "I was planning to go back and wash up, have a meal, and then come to see you, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep while taking a shower. Look, I came to see you without even drying my hair."

Hearing this, Si Jiu raised his head from her arms to look at her hair.

I saw that her hair was indeed loose, with water droplets at the ends of her hair.

He worriedly asked, "Will you catch a cold?"

Wen Baizhi disagreed: "It's okay, just a little water, it won't affect anything."

Si Jiu was very concerned: "It still needs to be wiped dry."

His whole attention was on Wen Baizhi's wet hair at the moment, which made him forget the self-loathing that had previously made him fall into world-weariness.

Wen Baizhi couldn't persuade him, so she had to say, "Okay, but I want you to help me dry it. It's not convenient for me to do it alone."

Si Jiu didn't say anything, so Wen Baizhi directly pulled him up.

She had forgotten the lantern under the window, so she took Si Jiu's hand and led him towards the bed.

Si Jiu's breathing was a little rapid in the dark and silent environment, and Wen Baizhi held his hand tightly.

She first found a few oil lamps in the room and lit them one by one.

"How come you don't even know to turn on the light when it's so dark?"

She lit three lamps at once, and suddenly the dark room was filled with warm light.

Si Jiu's face also appeared clearly in front of her.

His face seemed covered with frost, without any trace of life.

Wen Baizhi pulled him to sit down at the table: "You promised me that you would help me dry my hair."

Si Jiu clearly didn't agree to her, but at this moment he could only agree to her lovingly.

Wen Baizhi went to his room and found another dry towel and handed it to him.

"Just use this to wipe it for me."

Si Jiu took the handkerchief, stood up and stood behind her.

Wen Baizhi has a lot of hair on her body that is very soft, fine and black.

She always gets frustrated with the drying process after washing her hair.

Before, it was Cuizhi who helped her dry it carefully, but today it was Sijiu.

She sat upright, feeling Si Jiu's movements on her head.

I don’t know how long it was, so long that Wen Baizhi was almost asleep, before Si Jiu finally stopped.

Wen Baizhi instantly became alert: "Are you ready?"

Si Jiu sat back next to her: "Yeah, wipe them all dry."

Wen Baizhi stretched and said, "Let's go to bed now."

Si Jiu's hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened: "Sleep? Here?"

Wen Baizhi found him funny when she saw him like this: "Yeah, where else can I sleep?"
