Qi Shenbai’s hand paused, and his black eyes flickered. “I can hear some pride in your words.”

Xu Jiao jiao laughed awkwardly.

“What happened in the past?”

His grip on the cup tightened unconsciously, and his knuckles turned pale. However, no emotion could be seen on his face. He asked casually, “Why did you take so much medicine?”

Perhaps it was because she had a fever, but Xu Jiaojiao looked sickly. She replied absent-mindedly, “1 just fell seriously ill.”

It was an illness that almost cost her her life.

If not for Lu Zhuo…

Xu Jiaojiao snorted and closed her eyes. Forget it, she did not want to think about him anymore.

Seeing her dejected expression and the fatigue on her flushed face, Qi Shenbai took a pillow from the side and placed it under her head.

“If you need a doctor, I can contact one for you.”

Qi Shenbai lowered his eyes and thought for a while before speaking slowly.

Xu Jiaojiao did not even open her eyes as she shook her head. “There’s no need.

I’ve already recovered. Don’t you see that I’m still alive and kicking?”

Qi Shenbai did not say anything. He only silently took a small blanket from the side and covered her with it.

“Sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up for dinner.”

Xu Jiaojiao tilted her head and made a sound from her nose. After that, she stopped moving.

Qi Shenbai sat at the side and looked at her. Her breathing was even, and the redness on her face gradually faded. Her forehead gradually glowed.

He prepared some warm water and got up to go upstairs.

Xu Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes and stared at the warm water on the coffee table for a few seconds before closing her eyes again.

She did not need a doctor for her illness. She only needed a doctor for her heart.

However, the medicine that could help her recover was no longer there.

After taking the medicine, Xu Jiaojiao felt groggy and soon fell asleep.

She was sleeping soundly when Qi Shenbai woke her up for dinner.

She had a low fever and did not have much of an appetite. She only took a few bites of the porridge and side dishes.

She was covered in sweat when she fell asleep, and her entire body was sticky and uncomfortable.

After Xu Jiaojiao finished her meal, she went upstairs to take a shower. The hot shower washed away the soreness, fatigue, and stickiness in her body.

The moment she opened the door, a cool breeze hit her face. Her body was steaming hot, and it was very comfortable mixed with the cool breeze.

In an instant, her satisfied sigh resounded in the room.

But in the next second, she was interrupted by a faint chuckle.

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. She looked in the direction of the voice and met a pair of deep and dark eyes.

She almost subconsciously shouted, “Why didn’t you knock when you entered my room?”

“I did. You just didn’t hear me.

“If you mind, I’ll go back out and knock again this time.” The man raised his eyebrows. His sharp eyes landed on her head and he frowned.

“Why aren’t you drying your hair?” He sounded displeased.

Xu Jiaojiao was in a daze for a moment. He sounded like he was reprimanding her. When did he turn the tables?

She glanced at her dripping hair and said softly, “I just came out of the shower and haven’t had the time.”

Qi Shen glanced at her and did not say anything, but his slightly sunken eyes clearly showed his worry.

Xu Jiaojiao had just come out of the shower and her face was rosy. However, in just a short while, the heat on her body had dissipated, and the color on her face had faded. She looked pale and weak.

Qi Shenbai walked around her, picked up the water and medicine from the bedside table, and handed them to her. “Take your medicine and drink more hot water.”

Xu Jiaojiao obediently swallowed the medicine. Qi Shenbai looked around and asked, “Where’s the hairdryer?”

“In the bathroom cabinet,” she blurted out.

“You should take better care of yourself, if you don’t want your cold to worsen,” Qi Shenbai muttered softly. The next second, a figure pounced on him, grabbed his clothes, and pulled him back with 120% strength.

Immediately after, he saw Xu Jiaojiao’s face turn red as she blocked the bathroom door.

“Well… I can dry my hair myself.”

Xu Jiaojiao looked embarrassed. The bra she had just changed out of was still inside!

If Qi Shenbai saw it, how awkward would it be?

Qi Shenbai raised his eyebrows and his gaze fell on her wet hair. His dark eyes were filled with the words ‘I don’t believe you’.

“Don’t waste time.” His thin lips parted slightly as he pinched her arm, wanting to pull her away.

Xu Jiaojiao grabbed the wall with both hands, but she could not withstand the disparity in their strength. Qi Shenbai grabbed her collar and threw her aside like she was a little chick.

“Are you hiding something inside? What are you afraid of?”

Qi Shenbai let out a light harrumph and took a step forward. Xu Jiao jiao shut her eyes tightly.

‘It’s over, all over!’

Qi Shenbai walked to the basin and opened the cabinet. He took out the hairdryer and was about to walk out when he saw a ball of clothes hanging on the opposite shelf.

White and lacey.

It was a small piece, and the transparent gauze instantly put her fair and delicate body in his mind.

Qi Shenbai’s throat moved slightly as he laughed. Suddenly, he understood why Xu Jiao jiao had tried so hard to stop him.

Qi Shenbai subconsciously took a few more glances. His cold fingertips pressed against the space between his eyebrows. A moment later, he walked out with the hairdryer..
