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.
