After Bai Yang left, Xiao Ruge asked Mo Yi to get a basin of warm water, and used the warm water to wipe Mu Gu's hands, cheeks and neck, which could also help cool him down.

When she was wiping Mu Gu's face, Mu Gu suddenly held her hand, opened his watery peach blossom eyes, and rubbed his hands into hers with a wronged look.

"Ruge, I feel so bad."

"I've asked Bai Yang to get some medicine. You'll feel better after you take it!"

Knowing that Mu Gu was a little confused due to fever, Xiao Ruge comforted him softly as if she was coaxing a child. She tried to break free from his hand, but her wrist was held tightly by Mu Gu.

"Ruge, don't go, hug me, okay?"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ruge sighed inwardly, took the handkerchief with her other hand and threw it into the basin, then sat down on the bed and gently held him in her arms.

Feeling Xiao Ruge patting his back gently, Mu Gu hugged her waist even tighter and rubbed his head in her arms, trying to find a comfortable position.

But their posture at the moment was so intimate that it would have been fine if they didn't move, but as they moved around, they actually rubbed against a soft spot, and they were both stunned.

Considering that Mu Gu was sick, Xiao Ruge endured it again and again, and finally patted him gently on the back of his head.

"Behave yourself!"

Not sure if it was because of the high fever or something else, but Mu Gu just felt his cheeks burning.

He leaned quietly on Xiao Ruge's shoulder, thought for a moment, and finally apologized in a low voice.

"sorry."

Perhaps it was because of the fever, but Mu Gu's breath was hot when he spoke. When the hot breath brushed against Xiao Ruge's neck, it immediately caused a shiver.

"Shut up!"

The pink color climbed up her neck and onto her cheeks, dyeing Xiao Ruge's exposed skin a layer of pink. Seeing this, Mu Gu couldn't help but kiss her neck.

"Mugu!"

"I just want to kiss you, just kiss your neck, I won't move around."

Hearing Xiao Ruge calling him a warning, Mu Gu immediately explained, and then he really stopped moving, just closed his eyes and leaned in her arms.

"I wish this moment could stop forever so you could hold me forever!"

I don’t know if he was talking nonsense, but Mu Gu closed his eyes, his lips slightly raised, and his face was full of happiness.

Xiao Ruge glanced down and didn't respond. After a while, she heard the man's breathing become steady. Although it was heavier than that of a normal person, he was asleep.

Mu Gu did not sleep well. He felt that he had just fallen asleep when Xiao Ruge woke him up and fed him a bowl of bitter medicine.

Seeing Mu Gu frowning as he finished drinking the medicine, Xiao Ruge asked softly, "Would you like some porridge? I asked the kitchen to make some minced meat porridge."

But Mu Gu couldn't eat anything now. After drinking the medicine, he waved his hands, lay down and fell asleep again.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruge's medicine was very effective. Towards evening, Mu Gu's fever finally subsided.

Xiao Ruge asked someone to bring him some minced meat porridge, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Does your head still hurt? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere else?"

Mu Gu smiled and said, "My head doesn't hurt anymore, but my body feels sore and weak. It's okay. I'll be fine after two days of rest."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Ruge finally felt relieved.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Looking at Xiao Ruge sitting next to him, Mu Gu moved forward a little, afraid of infecting Xiao Ruge again, and asked her if she had eaten dinner.

"I've eaten, you eat yours."

Mu Gu nodded after hearing this, drank the remaining porridge in a few mouthfuls, and also finished all the side dishes in front of him.

"anything else?"

Xiao Ruge was worried that he was not full. After all, this bowl of porridge was not enough to fill the stomach of the former Mu Gu.

But Mu Gu shook his head, indicating that he couldn't eat anymore.

Xiao Ruge asked someone to pack up all the things, then grabbed Mu Gu's wrist and checked his pulse.

Mu Gu looked at her tenderly, he still remembered the embarrassment from before, although his mind was confused at that time, he was not really forgetful, he still had some impression.

"Much better. After resting for three or four days, we can continue on our journey."

Mu Gu nodded, and when he was able to get out of bed at night, he wrote a memorial and had it sent back to the capital as quickly as possible, explaining that he was ill and would have to delay his return for a few days.

The cold is not a serious disease, but it is not a small one either. Under Xiao Ruge's careful care, Mu Gu almost recovered on the fourth day.

Hearing that there was a night market in Yunyang City at night, he dragged Xiao Ruge out to visit the night market.

Yunyang City is also a fairly large town. As it is close to the canal and has a wharf, there is a lot of river fish here, and there are many peddlers traveling back and forth, so the night market is very lively.

“Fried river shrimp! Fresh fried river shrimp!”

"Fish for sale! Big, lively fish!"

Two people walked on the busy street, with various hawking sounds coming from both sides.

From selling fresh river food to selling snacks, along the way, there are more stalls selling food than any other stalls.

Mu Gu also saw a man selling octagonal windmills, which looked interesting, so he bought one for Xiao Ruge.

Looking at the red and yellow octagonal windmill in her hand, Xiao Ruge didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm not a child, why buy this for me?"

"Who says only children can play? Adults can play too!"

As he spoke, Mu Gu blew at the octagonal windmill, and the colorful windmill immediately started to spin. The red and yellow colors turned into orange under the rapid rotation, which looked very beautiful.

"Tanghulu, sweet and sour appetizing Tanghulu!"

Just then, a peddler selling candied haws walked past the two of them, carrying a load of candied haws. Mu Gu saw him and immediately called out to him.

"How much are the candied haws?"

"Five cents a string!"

The vendor smiled and held out five fingers to Mu Gu, who immediately bought two skewers.

Turning around and stuffing a string of noodles into Xiao Ruge's hand, Mu Gu said with a smile, "You've been taking care of me for the past two days, and I'll buy you whatever you want to eat today!"

Watching him open his mouth and eat a candied haws, Xiao Ruge sighed, stuffed the one in her hand to Bai Song, and reached out to snatch the one in Mu Gu's hand.

"You've just gotten better, you can't eat too much food that's hard to digest!"

Although the one on the top was eaten by Mu Gu, there were still seven left on the bamboo stick. They were big and red, and the syrup was translucent. Xiao Ruge couldn't help but took a bite.

It’s sour and sweet, and really delicious.

The sweet and sour taste made Xiao Ruge frown. Mu Gu, who was standing next to her, smiled even more. He was not angry that the candied haws was snatched away. Instead, he quietly pulled Xiao Ruge's hand.

"I've eaten this before, don't you dislike it?"

Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows at this, "Didn't you take the top one? You haven't even bitten the rest, so what's there to dislike?"

Ever since Mu Gu climbed into Xiao Ruge's boudoir in the middle of the night, the two of them spent almost most of the month together.
