After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Rong Heng will also go to Jinzhou with Si Jiu this time.

But he still had some pills to make, so he would set out two days later than the main group.

So Wen Baizhi knew that she was the only one who could help Si Jiu at this moment.

She helped Si Jiu, who was collapsed in the corner, and half-pulled and half-carried him to the couch in the carriage.

It shouldn't be her illusion. She felt that Si Jiu was thinner than he was three days ago.

Otherwise she wouldn't have pulled him up so easily just now.

She covered him with the quilt again and started checking his forehead.

My forehead isn't so hot anymore and my abdomen is still stable.

It means there is no fever and no stomach pain.

The wound is also fine.

The only other explanation would be that he thought he had left and was so agitated that he vomited blood and fainted.

This is still related to his fragile mentality.

This has happened several times before.

Wen Baizhi sat beside him, holding his cold hand.

After not seeing him for a few days, she felt that his wrists had become thinner.

The wrist bones are protruding and the blue veins on the hands are particularly obvious.

Her thin wrist made her feel like it could be easily broken with a little force.

"Silly boy." Wen Baizhi saw the obvious dark circles under his eyes and knew that he must not have slept well in the past few days.

"You went to Jinzhou without telling me, and you really could endure not coming to see me for three days. Now you're fine, you made yourself faint. Are you satisfied?"

Wen Baizhi's words were all accusations against him, but her tone was full of heartache.

She saw his visibly thinner face and pointed chin, and thought how much he had changed in just three days.

If it was three years ago.

What about the three years when I lost Wen Bai and was without Wen Baizhi?

Wen Baizhi placed the back of his hand against her warm cheek and rubbed it affectionately.

"Luckily I insisted on coming along, otherwise you would have been exhausted just by the long journey to Jinzhou."

Kyoto is very far away from Jinzhou, and it may take nearly a month to get there.

There are only three months left until the Chinese New Year, so if Si Jiu really goes alone, they may not be able to spend the Chinese New Year together this time.

Si Jiu's hands were as cold as ever.

Wen Baizhi felt that she was getting more and more accustomed to this temperature, and it felt very comfortable when it touched her face.

I was so busy sticking to him that I forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

When the handkerchief touched the corner of his mouth, Si Jiu finally showed some reaction in his sleep.

He shook his head slightly from side to side, as if he was not used to being touched.

Wen Baizhi then touched his face as usual.

The person lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks also became thinner.

Si Jiu seemed to feel her approaching in a daze, and he slowly relaxed, his head instinctively moving towards the palm of her hand.

"You really say one thing and do another. If I don't go with you, you will definitely cry."

Although he cried in front of her quite often, she always felt that he was particularly pitiful when he cried, and her tears touched her heart.

Seeing that his condition was gradually stabilizing, Wen Baizhi's brain, which had not had a good rest in the past three days, felt a little sleepy at the moment.

She was also very sleepy.

Wen Baizhi also took off her clothes and kicked off her shoes, got on the couch, and slept beside him.

She hadn't slept with him in the past three days, so being next to him now made her cherish him very much.

The moment she lay beside him, Si Jiu seemed to sense her arrival and hugged her sideways.

Just like a hungry and cold little animal on a winter night, it finally finds a warm nest.

His head rested on Wen Baizhi's collarbone. Wen Baizhi hugged him and lowered her head to place a kiss on the top of his head.

"Have a peaceful sleep, and when you wake up you will find that everything you want is by your side."

And so, the two of them slept until dusk.

The team stopped outside an inn.

Ping An stood under the carriage window and spoke cautiously: "Madam, it's getting dark. The team stopped outside an inn. Please get off the carriage and rest."

Wen Baizhi was sleeping soundly, but still remained alert.

So she was already awake when Ping'an spoke.

The first thing she did was to look at Si Jiu in her arms, and when she found that he was still asleep, she propped herself up and went to reply to Ping An.

"The governor is still asleep. Find a strong and steady person to carry him up and then go to a room upstairs. Tell the kitchen to cook some porridge and have it ready there."

She added, "You and the others have worked hard, too. Don't hesitate. Order some good food for yourself, eat well, and get enough sleep. We'll continue our journey tomorrow."

Ping An was naturally happy with Wen Baizhi's arrangement. He immediately called a strong eunuch and, with the help of Wen Baizhi, carried Si Jiu into the room.

Si Jiu was sleeping very soundly and only showed some reaction when he was carried on someone's back. However, after being put on the bed, he was calmed down by Wen Baizhi.

Cuizhi helped to clean up, and Pingan went to order the kitchen to serve the food.

Wen Baizhi stayed by Si Jiu's bed, looking at him, who looked pale but particularly attractive in her eyes.

Sure enough, this is what it means when a lover sees beauty in his or her heart.

Wen Baizhi laughed when she thought about it.

At this moment, Si Jiu, who had not been awake all this time, suddenly opened his eyes.

Wen Baizhi was startled by him, then leaned over and asked, "Zijin, you're awake."

Although Si Jiu opened his eyes, they were unfocused and stared straight upwards.

Wen Baizhi felt a little uneasy about him: "Zijin?"

As soon as she called out Zi Jin, Si Jiu turned his head and looked at her.

Although his eyes were on her at the moment, Wen Baizhi felt that he seemed to be looking through her at another person.

Sure enough, Si Jiu's hoarse voice came.

"Wen Bai."

He was calling Wen Bai's name.

Wen Baizhi subconsciously touched his forehead and it felt burning hot.

She cursed herself inwardly for not observing his body in time when he was sleeping in the carriage just now, which caused her not to notice that he had such a high fever now.

"Zijin, you are dreaming."

Si Jiu just looked at her like this, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye, fell on the pillow, and quickly disappeared.

"Wen Bai, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

Wen Baizhi knew that what he was saying was nonsense, and it was all caused by his high fever.

If I force him to wake up, I'm afraid I'll get retaliated against.

So she had no choice but to follow his lead.

"No, I'm always by your side."

Si Jiu shook his head absentmindedly: "No, you rarely come to see me in my dreams. I know that I look very miserable now. From head to toe, I don't look like the time when you knew me. It's reasonable for you not to come to see me. I, I don't even want to see myself in this state."

He seemed to be caught in another round of self-denial, with more and more tears flowing.

Wen Baizhi wiped his tears and felt that his cheeks were also burning.

"You have a fever, and I won't let you say that about yourself," she said.

Si Jiu didn't get a response from her, and his whole body was shaking as if he had been pulled out of ice water.

"Smell the white, smell the white."

He still called Wen Bai's name.

When Wen Baizhi saw him like this, she knew that she couldn't let him go on like this.

She sat down on his pillow, pulled his body into her lap, and let his head rest on her thighs.

"Wen Bai..." he muttered to himself.
