Bai Xianyu fed him spoonful by spoonful. Eldest Princess Jing An watched for a while before leaving with Guo Ying.

Because both of them were a little cold, the door was closed.

It did not take long for the room to warm up.

Bai Xianyu wanted to put the medicine bowl back after feeding him, but her palm was held tightly by Xie Xingyun. She tried to pull her hand back, but to no avail, so she could only lean out and place the medicine bowl properly.

Not long after Xie Xingyun finished drinking the medicine, he broke out in a sweat. It was not convenient for Bai Xianyu to change his clothes for him, so she simply wiped his collarbone.

Just as she was about to find someone to change his clothes, the man’s voice suddenly sounded.

“Why… are you here?”

Bai Xianyu was stunned. Should she say that this medicine took effect quickly or that Xie Xingyun’s body constitution was good?

In just a little while, he had woken up. She had thought that she would have to wait until the afternoon at least.

Seeing that he was about to get up, Bai Xianyu pressed him onto the bed.

Xie Xingyun was slightly stunned. His black hair scattered on the pillow and he looked straight at her with his dark eyes.

“The Eldest Princess asked me to come,” Bai Xianyu said. “I’ll watch over you until your fever subsides.”

Xie Xingyun did not know what he was looking forward to, but his eyes could not help but darken.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.”

Bai Xianyu saw that he did not look fine and said earnestly, “Don’t reject medical treatment. If there’s any problem, you have to tell the physician. Otherwise, I’ll feel guilty if you fall ill.”

Xie Xingyun’s thin lips moved. “What is there to feel guilty about?”

“If you hadn’t fished out my jade, you wouldn’t be having a high fever. The Eldest Princess had already told me.” Bai Xianyu was holding a handkerchief in her hand. Seeing that his forehead was sweating, she subconsciously wanted to wipe it. “Although 1 don’t know why you hid it from me, I’m still very grateful to you.”

Pressing her fingertips against the edge of the handkerchief, she lightly wiped across the man’s hot forehead.

On one side was cool jade-like skin, on the other, it was scorching as the sun.

Xie Xingyun had no intention of explaining. His eyelids were still slightly closed. Just as Bai Xianyu was about to retract her hand and leave, his large hand swiftly grabbed her snow-white wrist.

“You said I was rejecting medical treatment.” He pried open her hand and inserted his slender fingers between hers. The handkerchief landed on his white undershirt and instantly wetted a large area.

Bai Xianyu looked at him puzzled.

Xie Xingyun held the girl’s slender and fair fingers and placed them against his heart.

The temperature there seemed to be even hotter than the temperature on his forehead. She curled her fingers up slightly, but he pressed them down forcefully.

He said, “Then tell me why… it hurts so much here.”

Bai Xianyu’s heart skipped a beat. Xie Xingyun’s expression was very calm and his tone was very calm, but his movements were completely different. It was as if he wanted her to feel every vein flowing with hot blood under his chest and his beating heart.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the young lady was delicate and beautiful. She looked at his actions in a daze. Her soft fingers were like tender tofu. Because of his tugging movement, she leaned forward and supported herself with one hand under the blanket. Her delicate red lips were slightly open, as if she was surprised and confused.

Xie Xingyun stared at her for a while. Her slender hand pressed against his chest. Not only did that suffocating feeling not ease, but it also made him a little breathless.

Bai Xianyu’s eyes flickered. “If you’re not feeling well here, I’ll get the physician for you.”

A moment later.

Xie Xingyun chuckled and let go of her hand.

Bai Xianyu was released and immediately stood up from the bed.”… Wait for me. I’ll get the physician to take a look at you.”

“What to take a look at?”

“To take a look at your illness, of course.”

Was she really going to find a physician to check his heart?

No matter how slow Bai Xianyu was, she should know that Xie Xingyun was flirting with her just now.

Although it was one-sided, she felt that if she was going to wait until his fever subsided before leaving, she would have to find an excuse to ease the currently dense and ambiguous atmosphere.

Bai Xianyu walked out, rubbing her wrist.

This man was still sick. Why was he still so strong? It hurt a little.

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped.

“Bai Xianyu.”

She could not help but pause.

She also stopped what she was doing.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he called her by her full name.

Xie Xingyun closed his eyes. “Will you be happier if I don’t appear in front of you?”

Bai Xianyu clasped her fingers slightly. The word “yes” was stuck in her throat and she did not say it out for a long while.

Wasn’t it a little hurtful for her to say such a thing under such circumstances?

Hence, she was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Rest well.”

Eldest Princess Jing An watched as Bai Xianyu walked out and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “What’s the situation? Has he finished the medicine?”

Bai Xianyu nodded. “He’s already awake. Get a physician to take a look at him again.”

Eldest Princess Jing An was overjoyed. “Sure.”

“Guo Ying, go and get the imperial physician now.”

“Yes.”

Bai Xianyu sat there for almost an hour before the imperial physician arrived.

After examining Xie Xingyun, he added a few more herbs. The servant took the prescription and went to get the herbs.

Eldest Princess Jing An glanced at Bai Xianyu and said, “Thank you.”

Bai Xianyu was surprised. “Your Highness, you’re too polite. This matter started because of me.”

Eldest Princess Jing An did not comment. She held Bai Xianyu’s hand and began to size her up carefully. Bai Xianyu also looked down at her dress and looked at her strangely.

After sizing her up, she smiled in satisfaction. “Not bad, you’re indeed good-looking. Guo Ying, look, she has a thin waist and round hips. She can give birth easily.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”

Guo Ying laughed. “Your Highness, don’t tease Miss Bai. She’ll be embarrassed later.”

Eldest Princess Jing An smiled faintly and did not say anything.

Bai Xianyu was confused. Eldest Princess Jing An had an unfriendly expression last time. Had she taken the wrong medicine now…

“When the medicine comes, feed Yun’er again.”

Bai Xianyu nodded. Since she had already said that she would wait for his fever to subside before leaving, it was fine to take care of him temporarily.

The servant was quick. He brought the medicine in.

Bai Xianyu also stood up and followed him in.

This time, Xie Xingyun did not let her feed him. He sat up on the bed, bent one leg, and placed his elbow on his knee. He drank the medicine cooperatively.

Bai Xianyu stood at the door and waited for the servant to leave before entering the inner room.

At this moment, Xie Xingyun had already laid down and was facing her.

Bai Xianyu found a chair and sat down. Her almond-shaped eyes swept across the dark golden brocade pouch he had placed on the desk.

“… Are you asleep?”

Xie Xingyun opened his eyes. “No.”

“I haven’t thanked you properly for saving me last time.” Bai Xianyu picked up the brocade pouch and said, “Why don’t I make a brocade pouch for you too?” She had thanked Lin Xingjian like this before.

The man on the red sandalwood bed did not answer for a long time.

After saying that, Bai Xianyu realized that this thank-you gift was a little stingy…

That time, it was Lin Xingjian who took the initiative to request it. It was different from the current situation.

Just as she was thinking of changing to a different thank you gift…

Xie Xingyun closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Will you?”
