After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi's words made Si Jiu blush.

This made Wen Baizhi touch his forehead a few more times.

"It feels a little hotter than before. We should let Rong Heng take a look."

Si Jiu raised his hand and pulled her hand down and put it in his own: "It's just a little bit of a burn, it's okay."

He seldom approached her so directly. Wen Baizhi didn't even dare to say the following words, for fear that he would let go of her.

But just because they don't go looking for Rong Heng doesn't mean Rong Heng will be at ease about Si Jiu's health.

It was not lunch time yet, but Rong Heng came over on his own.

This time when he was taking Si Jiu's pulse, Wen Baizhi stood behind him with her neck shrunk, like a child who was worried that his parents would know about his grades.

Rong Heng's brows had been furrowed since he took his superior Jiu's pulse.

Wen Baizhi realized that if Si Jiu went out with her this morning, he would definitely catch a cold.

Rong Heng said in a deep voice: "Do you know that you have a fever?"

Si Jiu straightened his sleeves: "I know."

Rong Heng said angrily, "Not only do you have a fever, but your wounds are still recovering. What you should do now is to stay in bed and rest instead of running around and making your condition worse."

Si Jiu subconsciously glanced at Wen Baizhi. He was worried that she would blame herself for Rong Heng's words.

"You know, I can't rest. As long as I have a breath left, I have to do what I have to do."

He didn't mention anything about what happened this morning, let alone the fact that it was Wen Baizhi who took him out.

Wen Baizhi was very moved when she heard this.

Rong Heng has been in charge of Si Jiu's health for the past three years, so he naturally knows Si Jiu's helplessness.

"Even so, you have to know that your body is not made of iron. You should rest well when you need to, otherwise you will regret it later because it will be useless if you really hurt yourself."

Before Si Jiu could say anything else, Wen Baizhi made her move first.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Rong. I was the one who took Si Jiu out this morning. We also went to the back mountain. He walked a long way and was probably exposed to a lot of wind. That's probably why his condition is getting worse now."

Rong Heng saw that Si Jiu was staring at her and knew her position in Si Jiu's heart, so he didn't say anything harsh in the end.

"Si Jiu has been in poor health for a long time. If he doesn't take good care of himself, he may not be able to..."

He didn't say the rest, but Wen Baizhi understood his hesitation.

Si Jiu's body had been half destroyed after the cleansing three years ago.

He has been injured repeatedly over the past three years.

The most important thing is that he is deep-hearted, and has a lot of emotions that he has been holding inside, which will only get deeper and deeper.

Wen Baizhi bit her lower lip.

Seeing that she looked strange, Si Jiu was worried that Rong Heng's words would make her think too much, so he quickly ordered Rong Heng to leave.

"I'm fine now. I'll take the medicine on time and come to you if I have any questions. You can go back first. Don't you have many prescriptions that you haven't studied thoroughly?"

Rong Heng knew that he was trying to drive him away, but he was actually happy for Si Jiu.

After all, he knew better than anyone how negative Si Jiu was before Wen Baizhi came.

"I do have a lot of things to do over there, so I won't bother you any more. I'll leave first."

Wen Baizhi saw him to the door and walked back to Si Jiu with a sad face.

Si Jiu knew that what Rong Heng had just said had affected her mood.

Wen Baizhi slowly sat down beside him.

Si Jiu blinked and tried to find some topics to talk about.

But Wen Baizhi's silence made him very uneasy.

His body will be a burden to her in the future.

He always knew.

In fact, he never expected to stay with her for a long time.

But at least, right now, let him pray to God once more to be kinder to him and let him stay with her a little longer.

Just as he was anxiously waiting for her judgment, Wen Baizhi spoke.

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."

He thought she would say, why don't you take good care of your body.

Or, express regret for his situation.

But he didn't expect that she would just ask him what he wanted to eat as usual.

The simplest question was also the one he least dared to hope to hear.

"I, I'll have whatever I want for lunch," he stammered.

Wen Baizhi said with a smile: "How can you make this dish casually? Think about it carefully."

But Si Jiu really felt that it didn't matter what he ate, as long as he was with her.

"I eat what you eat," he said finally.

Wen Baizhi teased him deliberately: "But if I eat braised pork or other meaty dishes at noon, which you can't eat, will you follow me and eat with me?"

She just wanted to tease him, but unexpectedly Si Jiu looked into her eyes very seriously and said:

"As long as I'm with you, I can eat anything."

He was telling the truth, and Wen Baizhi could hear and see it.

"What a fool." Wen Baizhi touched his head directly, "Why are you so stupid?"

And she actually thought that his stupidity was very cute, which made her like him even more.

Si Jiu was touched on the top of his head by her and didn't dare to move for a moment.

When Wen Baizhi withdrew her hand, Si Jiu hoped that she could touch him longer.

It's best to ruffle his hair and let it fall down.

She could play with her hair to her heart's content, tangling each strand around her fingers.

There were even a few strands of hair that cut her fingers, causing his hair to be stained with her fingertips' blood.

Finally, she combed his hair and put on the crown for him, just like she did last time.

But Wen Baizhi didn't do that, she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Since you said it's up to me, I'll ask Cuizhi to make you the sesame pie I made last time."

She was worried that he would forget about sesame seeds, so she added, "It's the sesame seeds in the sesame dumplings that you like so much. I made sesame pies, which are also very fragrant and delicious."

She hopes that Si Jiu can feel all the beauty in the world.

Naturally, delicious food is one of them.

Si Jiu smiled and nodded: "I'm looking forward to it."

Wen Baizhi stood up: "Then I'll go get ready and come back to see you later."

Si Jiu watched her walk away.

It was not until Ping'an came in looking for him that he withdrew his gaze from the corridor where Wen Baizhi had left.

Ping An came to see him at this time, naturally he had something important to report.

Si Jiu's expression changed from gentle when facing Wen Baizhi to his usual coldness.

"Has His Majesty sent another decree?" he asked Ping An.

Ping An bowed and said, "Your Majesty has sent a message saying that this year there is a severe drought and the crops in Jinzhou in the south are poor. Even the rent from the tenants cannot be collected. Not only that, there have been many riots among the people in Jinzhou. Your Majesty wants you to rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible to deal with this matter."

Ping An was sweating coldly on his back as he spoke.

This is not an easy task, and it can even be said that His Majesty is deliberately making things difficult for Si Jiu.

After hearing this, Si Jiu simply asked, "When does His Majesty want me to leave?"

Ping An whispered, "We must go to Jinzhou within three days at the latest."

Three days.

He can still accompany Wen Baizhi for another three days.
