After some time, she came back to her senses when she felt her arm getting a little numb . He seemed slightly better when she heard the sound of the doorbell chiming downstairs .
It should be Dr . Zhong .
Xi Xiaye stood up and spent some time trying to pry her hand out of his grip . She placed her hand on his forehead again . It was still pretty hot, so she sighed worriedly .
When she went downstairs, Ah Mo came over with Dr . Zhong .
“Missus! How's Master?” Ah Mo asked anxiously, his eyebrows knitted together .
Xi Xiaye moved aside and let the two of them in . “I just gave him some medicine for the fever, but it hasn't gone down . Let's go up first . ”
“Master stayed in the breeze for quite some time during the inspection today . I think he caught a cold . Dr . Zhong, please take a look at him quickly . ” Ah Mo followed Xi Xiaye to the second floor .
Xi Xiaye suddenly stopped at the entrance of the study room and turned around to tell them, “He wasn't able to rest well in the past few nights . He's just fallen asleep . Be careful . ”
Dr . Zhong nodded and walked more quietly after that . Ah Mo's expression seemed complicated as he looked at Xi Xiaye as if he wanted to say something . However, he was not able to say it . They then went in .
The man suddenly woke up as Dr . Zhong went near him . A dim light appeared in his eyes when he saw the other person before him . “Why are you guys here?”
“Master! How are you feeling?”
“Master, are you okay?”
Ah Mo and Dr . Zhong spoke at the same time, both concerned .
Mu Yuchen put a hand on his forehead as he glanced over at the quiet Xi Xiaye . “I'm fine . It's just a little cold and fever . She's just overreacting . ”
“Your body temperature is very high now . A fever is no small matter . It's your own body . You're the one who'll suffer . ” Xi Xiaye did not want to argue with him any further . She dragged the stool in between them away and held his arm . “Let's go back to the bedroom . Dr . Zhong, please check his condition there . ”
Mu Yuchen looked at her deeply in the eyes . Her expression was saying that there was no room for negotiation . A faint smile appeared on his pale, handsome face . He did not say anything and just let her drag him along with all her might .
Ah Mo wanted to help, but Mu Yuchen stopped him .
She grabbed a clean sleeping robe and made him change into it after they got into the bedroom . She wiped his face clean before Dr . Zhong gave him a checkup and gave him a flu shot .
Xi Xiaye went downstairs and made some porridge . It was already 1 a . m . when Dr . Zhong was done .
“Go back and rest earlier . He'll be fine with me here . Remember not to tell Grandfather and Grandmother . I don't want them to be worried,” Xi Xiaye told Ah Mo as she sent them off .
“Mmm, I got it . Please take care of Master then . Dr . Zhong gave Master a shot, so his fever is slowly going away . It'll be fine . Don't worry, Missus . ”
Xi Xiaye nodded, then she added, “He doesn't seem very well these few days . I'm not sure what to do…”
Stunned, Ah Mo looked downwards as he quieted down . After a moment, he said quietly, “Missus, please spend more time with Master these few days . His mood isn't usually very good during this time of the year, and Qingming is also coming…”
Ah Mo did not continue . He raised his head and looked upstairs with a depressed expression and his eyes were cloudy as well .
Xi Xiaye could see the pain and struggle in his eyes . She could not imagine that the usually cool and calm Ah Mo would have such a side to him .
She kind of knew what was happening . Xi Xiaye did not press on the issue and just nodded . “Mmm, I will . ”
Ah Mo took a deep breath before turning around as he left the villa .
When she went back to the room with a bowl of porridge, she noticed that he was not in bed . Instead, he was just sitting in the living room after a shower, on a call with someone . He gave some brief instructions before hanging up .
“Why aren't you lying down?”
She handed the bowl of porridge to him and took the phone away from him . “Eat something . Has your fever subsided? Let me take a look…”
“Almost . Sit down . You've been busy the whole night . ” He grabbed her hand on his forehead and made her sit . He also put the bowl of porridge on the table beside him .
“I'm alright . Ah Mo is pretty worried about you . ”
He sat down beside her and she was relieved when she could feel that his temperature was not as high as it was earlier . She poured a glass of water and was going to give it to him, but he did not want it, so she drank it herself .
“Aren't you worried?”
He laughed at her . While his tone still sounded weak, there was a tint of gentleness in his voice .
Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows and stared at him without saying anything . She then looked at the bowl of porridge before averting her gaze back to him again .
“Don't go to work tomorrow . I've asked Ah Mo not to tell your grandparents about you . I don't want them to worry,” she sighed before starting to clean up the messy desk .
His eyes darkened slightly as he looked at her cleaning up . After a while, he said quietly, “Mother called me today regarding that matter . If…”
She took a pause before raising her head and looking into his deep, dark eyes . “Just let it be . I just wanted to prove my own innocence . It's fine now . If things go on peacefully from now onwards, it's going to be alright . ”
He looked downward and went quiet for a moment before nodding . “Sure . By the way, I heard someone gave you some flowers this afternoon . Who was it?”
His sudden question caught Xi Xiaye off guard . A cloud of doubt went past her eyes .
How did he find out?
After a brief moment of silence, she admitted honestly, “It's Han Yifeng… He apologized to me…”
His hands clenched into fists and his eyes turned complicated . He was not able to say anything .
She looked at him when she noticed the atmosphere turning odd . He did not look very well and she suddenly put her hand on top of his .
“Things are long over between me and him, so…”
