“The university is closed for a break,” Jiang Yao said. Then she scolded him. “You told me to take care of myself. Look at yourself. If I hadn’t come back today, the fever might kill you.”
“I am fine. My fever will subside when I sleep,” Lu Xingzhi explained.
“You were sleeping while you were still wet. Do you really think the fever would subside? I’ll take your surname if that happens. You might get pneumonia when you awake.” Jiang Yao laughed at Lu Xingzhi’s expression. He thought he was right.
She placed the blanket on the table and patted Lu Xingzhi’s face. “Go to bed and sleep.”
“Marrying me means you’ll take my surname,” Lu Xingzhi muttered. Then, he stood up obediently and held Jiang Yao’s hand as they walked toward the bedroom. However, when they reached the door, he stopped and shook his head, “Go back to the bedroom. I’ll sleep in the study for the night. I don’t want to give you a cold. Your immune system is not that strong while you’re pregnant. You can’t even take some medicine if you get sick, unlike me.”
“I won’t,” Jiang Yao said.
However, Lu Xingzhi was afraid of infecting Jiang Yao. No matter what Jiang Yao said, he insisted on sleeping in the study for the night.
Jiang Yao noticed that Lu Xingzhi was tired, so she could not bear to continue pushing him around. She quickly went to the study to make the bed for him so that he could lie down and rest.
Lu Xingzhi was tired. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the bed. When Jiang Yao covered him with a blanket, she could hear him snoring.
That was the first time Jiang Yao had seen Lu Xingzhi sick, not counting the time when he was injured.
Perhaps it was because his general health was excellent, so she had not seen him unwell before. It broke her heart when she saw his pale face.
“You must get well soon. I want you to hug me while I sleep.” Jiang Yao lowered her head and kissed his face. Then, she closed the study door and went back to the bedroom.
Jiang Yao did not sleep well that night. She got up and went to the study several times to observe Lu Xingzhi’s condition. Lu Xingzhi’s fever did not decrease in the night’s second half but increased. She drew a fever-reducing medication from the system and gave it to him. She was relieved to see that his body temperature had begun to drop after half an hour.
That was the first time Jiang Yao had taken care of someone so well that she could not sleep. As soon as she lay on the bed, she thought about how Lu Xingzhi was doing in the study room.
She would always get up and head to the study after a few hours of intermittent sleep. She was worried that his fever might rise again, and she was also worried that he would kick the blanket off..
