After feeding the porridge, Yu Jingxuan asked Miao Xingyao to lie down.
Then he washed another towel to wipe Miao Xingyao's sweat.
Miao Xingyao grabbed the quilt, looked at Yu Jingxuan, and said, "Thank you, it's really too troublesome for you."
"Idiot." Yu Jingxuan smoothed Miao Xingyao's hair and said with a smile, "I am your husband. I should take care of you when you are sick."
"Yes." Miao Xingyao nodded gently.
Yu Jingxuan said softly: "Go to sleep for a while. I'll ask you to get up and take medicine later."
"Take medicine?" Miao Xingyao seemed to be discouraged and murmured, "Can I not take medicine?"
"No." Yu Jingxuan rejected Miao Xingyao's suggestion and said softly, "Be good, take medicine to get better quickly. Now go to sleep."
"Okay." Miao Xingyao obediently closed her eyes.
Yu Jingxuan sat next to Miao Xingyao and looked at her for a long time. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard Miao Xingyao's voice.
"Can you stay with me here?" Miao Xingyao said softly.
Yu Jingxuan smiled and nodded, sat down again, and said, "I'll stay with you until you fall asleep."
"Then will you leave when I fall asleep?" Miao Xingyao said with a cry.
"No, no," Yu Jingxuan said hurriedly, "I'm not going anywhere."
"Yeah, that's good." Miao Xingyao closed her eyes with satisfaction.
Yu Jingxuan lovingly helped Miao Xingyao gather the quilt, thinking that Miao Xingyao was really extra clingy today.
But after a while, Miao Xingyao opened his eyes restlessly.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jingxuan was a little helpless. Why didn't Miao Xingyao refuse to sleep? Sleep was obviously what was needed most right now.
"I can't sleep." Miao Xingyao said aggrievedly.
"Then I..." Yu Jingxuan said after holding it in for a long time, "tell you a story?"
"I don't want it, I don't want it." Miao Xingyao said, "I want to hear you sing a lullaby."
"Huh? Lullaby?" Yu Jingxuan said helplessly, "Yaoyao, I can't sing, and you're not a baby anymore."
"But I've never heard you sing." Miao Xingyao buried her face in the quilt.
"Then you haven't heard me tell stories," Yu Jingxuan said.
"Yes." Miao Xingyao raised her face, looked at Yu Jingxuan expectantly, and said, "Then I want you to tell a story."
"Okay, okay." Yu Jingxuan patted Miao Xingyao's quilt and said, "You have to close your eyes."
"Okay." Miao Xingyao immediately closed his eyes.
Yu Jingxuan thought for a while and began to tell slowly. He told the story of the ugly duckling, which was one of the only things he had in stock.
Because although Bai Wanyun is clumsy as a mother, she really wants to get along with her child. Every night she tells stories to coax him and Yu Jinghao to sleep.
But Bai Wanyun didn't know how to tell stories, so he just kept telling stories over and over again.
Yu Jingxuan and Yu Jinghao had long been tired of hearing it, but they were used to it, and it seemed that the brothers could fall asleep peacefully when they heard the gentle voice.
Gradually, Miao Xingyao also fell asleep. Yu Jingxuan stopped and could even hear Miao Xingyao's even breathing.
Yu Jingxuan left with peace of mind. It turns out that taking care of someone is such hard work. He remembered that Miao Xingyao always cooked and washed for him. She must have been working hard.
But it was all worth it. Miao Xingyao rarely showed such a side. It turned out that she would become extra clingy when she was sick. Yu Jingxuan, who discovered this, was as happy as a child who got candy.
Yu Jingxuan hoped that Miao Xingyao could stick to him a little more. He believed in Miao Xingyao's feelings for him, but it would be meaningless if he didn't show it.
Yu Jingxuan helped Miao Xingyao prepare medicine and fever-reducing patches.
After a while, Yu Jingxuan went into the room to see Miao Xingyao.
"Yeah." Miao Xingyao turned over as if she didn't hear him.
Yu Jingxuan patiently called again: "Yaoyao, get up and take medicine."
Only then did Miao Xingyao open her sleepy eyes and glance at Yu Jingxuan.
With the help of Yu Jingxuan, Miao Xingyao, who was half asleep, was lifted up by Yu Jingxuan. After taking the medicine, Miao Xingyao fell into a deep sleep again.
Yu Jingxuan touched Miao Xingyao's forehead again and found that Miao Xingyao was sweating a lot, but her temperature had dropped a lot.
So Yu Jingxuan turned around and washed Miao Xingyao with a towel, wiped her gently without waking Miao Xingyao, and then applied a fever-reducing patch.
Seeing Miao Xingyao sleeping soundly, Yu Jingxuan didn't want to go anywhere. He just wanted to be with her now. If she needed anything when she got up, he could satisfy her as soon as possible...
The afternoon sun shone on Yu Jingxuan, waking up Yu Jingxuan who accidentally fell asleep.
Yu Jingxuan slowly opened his eyes and realized that he had fallen asleep sitting on the sofa unknowingly. He wasn't that kind of person to fall asleep. Yu Jingxuan glanced at Miao Xingyao, who was still sleeping. It must be because he felt particularly at ease being by Miao Xingyao's side.
Yu Jingxuan walked to Miao Xingyao's side, bent down and touched Miao Xingyao's forehead. Well, the fever must have subsided.
At this time, there was the sound of the door being locked. Yu Jingxuan stood up, a little at a loss. It must be Miao Xingyao's parents who were back.
Yu Jingxuan came here last night because he really wanted to meet Miao Xingyao's parents, but now he came to their house in a hurry and was completely unprepared.
Yu Jingxuan thought for a while and walked out. Now that the matter was over, he had to at least act more magnanimously. If he was timid, he could easily be misunderstood.
Deng Man had just changed his shoes and stood up when he saw Yu Jingxuan walking out.
"Why are you here!" Denman exclaimed.
"Auntie, good afternoon, uncle." Yu Jingxuan greeted the two of them.
Miao Qingyong asked: "Why are you at our house? Where is Xiaoyao?"
"Yaoyao is sleeping." Yu Jingxuan said.
"Sleep?" Deng Man's face turned even darker. He pushed Yu Jingxuan away and planned to go to Miao Xingyao's room. He thought that her daughter was really crazy. She was still at home...
"Auntie." Yu Jingxuan called out quickly, "She has a fever, so let her rest well."
"Fever? You were fine last night, but why do you have a fever today?" Deng Man muttered, but did not stop, but his voice became much softer.
Miao Qingyong did not follow Deng Man in, but said to Yu Jingxuan: "Sit down, you must have worked hard too."
"Thank you, uncle." Yu Jingxuan did not refuse.
"Did you come here specifically for Xiaoyao?" Miao Qingyong asked calmly.
"That's right." Yu Jingxuan replied. He couldn't directly say that he had come last night.
"Oh." Miao Qingyong sighed and said, "Her mother just has a stubborn temper. She really loves Xiaoyao so much, so she was really considerate before. I apologize to you on behalf of Xiaoyao's mother."
Yu Jingxuan shook his head and said, "I did something wrong indeed. I can understand Auntie's mood."
