Bai Yeqing's thoughts were fuzzy, and even the things he saw seemed to be covered by a thin layer of mist in front of his eyes. However, at this moment, her shy, nervous and flustered look was so clearly reflected in his eyes.
Unlike the scratchy kitten when I first met her, she now looks more like an innocent little white rabbit.
"Are you scared?" He spoke, his voice was weak but also contained provocation.
She urged: "Close your eyes quickly!"
Bai Yeqing inexplicably found her expression somewhat funny. He pulled his lips and finally closed his eyes.
then…
Xia Xingchen gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and touched the waistband of his pants.
My fingertips are shaking.
Damn it!
What kind of job is this
"Woman, be careful and don't touch me randomly!" Bai Yeqing opened his eyes and warned in a hoarse voice with deep eyes.
Xia Xingchen's face turned even redder, she gritted her teeth and said unyieldingly: "What does it matter? It's not like I haven't touched you before..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the interest in his eyes, and she regretted that she shouldn't have argued with him.
What the hell are you talking about?!
Bai Yeqing narrowed his eyes, his expression was somewhat ambiguous, but his voice was weak, "So I said, what you remember about five years ago is not all pain..."
“…”Blood seemed to be dripping from Xia Xingchen’s face.
It's already this time, and he still has the mind to bring up what happened five years ago!
"I don't think you're seriously injured. You're still so energetic!" she muttered.
Bai Yeqing closed his eyes and really didn't make any more sounds. Xia Xingchen gritted his teeth and wiped his body with alcohol.
Her fingers were trembling and stiff, and he was not much better.
Every unconscious touch of her fingertips made him feel like an electric current running through him, making him numb and hot.
Her fingers slid down his firm legs. He lifted his eyelashes and suddenly grasped her hand with his uninjured hand.
Xia Xingchen was already frightened, and was startled even more by this touch.
He exerted a little force with his hands and her whole body was grabbed up.
She uttered a soft "ah" and almost fell on him, pressing on his wound. Startled, she quickly supported her free hand on his side to support her weight.
"It's very dangerous for you to do this!" She was worried, her brows furrowed, and she stared at him with some reproach.
Bai Yeqing stared at her with burning eyes, "Are you sure this is the method Fu Yichen taught you to reduce fever?"
"Yes." She nodded. The two of them were in a very close position, she was on top and he was on the bottom. She could clearly smell the gunpowder and medicinal herbs on him.
She just felt her heart beating faster for no reason, as if it would jump out of her chest at any time.
He narrowed his eyes, "Why do I feel like the temperature hasn't subsided at all, but is getting worse?"
Xia Xingchen was embarrassed.
Not only did he feel his fever was getting worse, but... she also felt her body was getting hot for no apparent reason!
"Mr. President..." She licked her dry lower lip, "If you keep pulling me like this, the fever might get worse..."
Not only that, but you are also likely to be infected.
How could a normal single man and woman not be terrified when doing something like this
Bai Yeqing looked at her for a long time, his eyes burning and his expression unclear. Finally, he slowly let go of her hand.
Xia Xingchen quickly bent over, breathing heavily, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
She glanced at him on the bed, feeling a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head to collect her things and said, "Well... you should have a good rest for a while. I'll take your temperature later."
He just said "hmm" as a reply, closed his eyes, and seemed to be exhausted, and soon fell asleep again.
Xia Xingchen packed up her things and carefully covered him with the quilt. She looked at his flushed face and felt worried.
Tonight, she had to stay with him and couldn't sleep. She couldn't sleep either.
Worry.
But why was she so worried about him? Xia Xingchen didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
Just after she finished cleaning, Chi Weiyang called. She was afraid of disturbing him, so she covered the microphone and ran outside to listen.
"Xia Xingchen, tell me, what are you doing?"
Chi Weiyang yelled over there: "Are you possessed by evil spirits? You have worked so hard for today's test, and now you say you don't want to take the test. Tell me, what is your big reason!"
Xia Xingchen's nerves throbbed and his scalp numbed after being yelled at. Actually, it was a pity when he thought about it.
That job is what many people dream of.
Now I feel a little embarrassed when I think that all my efforts have gone to waste.
"Forget it, now that things have come to this, I... will find another job."
"reason!"
"..." Xia Xingchen glanced at the closed door of the room, "I have a friend... He suddenly fell ill, and he is very ill. So, I came here to take care of him."
"Friend? Male?"
"… Um."
"The one you live with?"
"… Actually, we don't really live together. We just have to live together for some unavoidable reasons. To be precise, we are not familiar with each other."
"You don't know him well, but you still refuse such a good job opportunity just because he is sick! Besides, doesn't he have any family? Why would he need someone like you who he doesn't know well to take care of him?"
Chi Weiyang’s words were actually what Xia Xingchen found very puzzling.
Some of the servants and housekeepers in the house had been with him for as long as 10 years, but he chose not to trust them and chose her, a person he was not too familiar with...
Why
He believes in himself
But... this feeling of being trusted is actually quite good.
Xia Xingchen pouted, "It's no use saying anything now."
"It's really useless. You're on the list that was just reviewed."
As expected.
And... even if she was not rejected, she couldn't go to work because she had to take care of him these days. Now it's easier, no need to ask for leave.
Chi Weiyang didn't understand her behavior, but she couldn't talk to her any further. The two of them said a few words and hung up the phone.
Xia Xingchen pushed the door open and looked into the room. Seeing that he was still asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen.
See if I can make something to nourish his body.
In the kitchen, there is everything, all fresh ingredients.
Xia Xingchen was a little hungry, so he cooked a few noodles for himself and ate them. While eating, he thought about the recipes he could make for him.
Now that he is so badly injured, he must eat only light meals.
However, he is so picky about food, and the only things she can cook are home-cooked meals, the most ordinary ones at that, and she doesn’t know if he can get used to them.
Xia Xingchen thought about it and finally made him a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and put it on the fire, thinking that he could eat it anytime when he woke up and was hungry.
