After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After dinner, Si Jiu wanted to go see it with her.

Wen Baizhi was very worried about his current physical condition: "Are you okay?"

Si Jiu said, "It's okay now. Besides, I need to go out more often. It's boring to stay in the house all the time."

In fact, it was only because Wen Baizhi was here that he was willing to go out.

In the past, I would always stay in the house and stare blankly.

Wen Baizhi naturally knew the benefits of going out to relax, but she was still a little worried: "Why don't I not go today and wait until the hot springs are ready before going to see them."

Si Jiu rarely disobeyed her: "The hot spring is only a small part of it. The important thing is the buildings outside the hot spring. You have to go and see what style you like."

Wen Baizhi is good at drawing and has studied various ancient buildings in modern times.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. If you really want to go, you should put on more clothes and a cape."

Si Jiu agreed.

Just like that, Wen Baizhi took the fully armed Si Jiu and walked towards the back mountain under the leadership of Ping An.

Wen Baizhi sighed as she walked: "I didn't know there was such a big mountain behind the Governor's Mansion."

Si Jiu walked beside her, carefully watching the ground, afraid that she would fall. "This Governor's Mansion was the residence of a corrupt official in the previous dynasty. It was extremely extravagant, but before he could finish building the hot spring, he lost power."

"Your Majesty, are you willing to give you such a good place?"

As soon as Wen Baizhi asked, she knew the reason.

Such a good place should naturally be given to Si Jiu.

Let Si Jiu become the next corrupt official in the eyes of the people and court officials, and let this mansion become a place to criticize Si Jiu.

Qi Yanan really played a good game of chess.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since this house is given to you, let's enjoy it. No matter what you do, you will be scolded. You might as well do what they say. At least you can feel more comfortable when you are scolded."

Wen Baizhi always has her own way of comforting herself.

After hearing her random words, Si Jiu gradually felt that the Governor's Mansion was not so depressing for him.

When we reached the spring, we saw several craftsmen digging the soil.

Ping An stepped forward and explained: "This is a living spring. In the early stage, we need to dig out all the soil and form a ditch inside."

Wen Baizhi didn't understand this.

Si Jiu asked her, "What kind of house do you want this to be?"

Wen Baizhi thought about it and said, "It doesn't need to be too big. Well, just build a small pavilion in front of the hot spring. It would be best if there is a corridor. You can also rest in the pavilion. There should be places to hold on to on all four sides of the hot spring to prevent falling inside."

What she said was confusing, but Si Jiu still understood it.

He summarized what she said and asked Ping An to tell it to the person in charge.

Wen Baizhi asked: "How long will it take to complete this?"

Si Jiu asked her, "How long do you want it to last?"

Wen Baizhi pointed at herself and said, "Can I take as long as I want?"

Si Jiu said lovingly: "Of course, as a governor, I do have this ability."

Although Wen Baizhi wanted to do it as quickly as possible, she was still worried that he would be criticized again: "I'm not in a hurry, let them do it according to their own progress."

Si Jiu naturally understood that she was thinking about him: "Okay, then I'll ask them to speed up the process a little bit, and I will definitely let you soak in the hot spring before the New Year."

Wen Baizhi's eyes sparkled: "Thank you very much."

When the two returned to the room, Rong Heng had been waiting for them for a long time.

Seeing Si Jiu coming back with a cold body, Rong Heng was a little unhappy: "Where did you go? Don't you know that you can't blow cold wind now?"

Just as Si Jiu was about to explain, he saw Wen Baizhi standing in front of him.

"I was the one who took Si Jiu out. Don't blame him. He has always listened to you and taken his medicine obediently."

Si Jiu looked at her back as she stood in front of him, feeling indescribably warm.

Rong Heng wanted to say something else, but seeing Si Jiu being protected by her like this, he actually forgot what he was going to say to blame him later.

"He is still very weak. Even if he goes out for a walk, he should not walk too far or go to very cold places. His spleen and stomach are weak, so it is best for him to rest."

Wen Baizhi knew that Rong Heng was doing this for Si Jiu's own good, so she lowered her head and listened to what he said obediently.

"Don't let the wound come into contact with water. It's still hot, so you need to drink more water. I'll have Ping An deliver the medicine on time, and you have to take it on time. If there is any problem, come to me immediately."

Wen Baizhi nodded and agreed one by one: "I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I will take good care of Si Jiu."

Si Jiu also expressed his opinion behind her: "I will take good care of myself too."

Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Rong Heng felt like he was redundant here.

He felt bored, put down the freshly brewed pills and left.

After Rong Heng left, Wen Baizhi pushed Si Jiu to sit down beside the bed.

She touched Si Jiu's forehead.

"It's over. It seems to be really hotter than before. Maybe I really got cold from the wind."

In fact, Si Jiu also felt a little weak at this moment, and there was a familiar dull pain in his temples.

But fearing that she would worry, he simply said lightly: "I feel fine, it's okay."

Wen Baizhi only regretted that there was no modern thermometer around her, so she could not accurately know his body temperature.

She sat back next to him and pinched the back of his hand nervously: "Are you really feeling okay? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me the first time, okay? If you don't tell me and don't let me be mentally prepared, I will be even more scared."

Yes, afraid.

Wen Baizhi was not afraid of her taking care of Si Jiu after he fell ill. She was only afraid that he would try his best to keep his pain from her.

It was hard for Si Jiu not to be moved by her words.

She had always been so forthright in expressing her concern for him.

He especially cherishes any words or actions that are expressed with full sincerity.

"I promise you that if I feel uncomfortable anywhere, I will be the first to tell you." He promised her.

Wen Baizhi then stretched out the little finger of her right hand.

Si Jiu looked at her in confusion.

Wen Baizhi pulled his right hand over, stretched out his little finger like hers, and hooked their little fingers together.

"This means to make a pinky promise," she explained. "Make a pinky promise and stick to it for a hundred years."

She shook their hands, and finally they both raised their thumbs and touched each other's.

“That’s what the stamp means.”

After making the promise, she put her hand down again: "What I mean is, you have to keep your promise to me just now, because you have already made the promise with me. If you break it, you will be a little dog."

Puppy.

That’s a really lovely description.

Si Jiu's mind flashed with the image of the two of them turning into puppies, and he couldn't help laughing.

He even felt that even if Wen Baizhi turned into a puppy, she would be the cutest puppy.

Seeing that he smiled, Wen Baizhi stretched out her index finger and poked his mouth.

"Zijin, have I ever told you that you look especially good when you smile?" She kept poking the corners of his mouth. "Of course, you look good even when you don't smile."
