Chapter 62: Do You Have a Fever?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. How did he know that she was not feeling well? Did the butler tell him?

While she was still in a daze, Qi Shenbai had already grabbed her shoulders and led her into the house. He asked with concern, “Do you have a fever?”

“I don’t think so…” Before Xu Jiaojiao could finish her sentence, the man’s palm was already on her forehead. Her breathing suddenly stopped. The place where his palm touched seemed to be scalding.

She was so scared that she did not dare to touch Qi Shenbai. After testing her temperature, he touched his forehead and frowned. “Don’t you know you’re burning up? Butler, bring the thermometer over.”

The butler jogged to get the first aid kit.

Qi Shenbai brought Xu Jiaojiao back to the living room and sat her down. Seeing that her face was getting redder and redder, he could not help but worry. The butler quickly returned with the medicine box and handed the thermometer to him.

Qi Shenbai shook the thermometer twice. When he reached out to hand it to her, he paused. “…Put it under your armpit for five minutes.”

Xu Jiaojiao obediently took the thermometer from his hand. She was wearing an orange-yellow sweater today. The collar was tight, so her hand could not reach in. She could only stuff it under the hem.

When the hem of her clothes was lifted, a small part of her delicate and fair skin was revealed. Qi Shenbai accidentally caught a glimpse of her body and quickly averted his gaze. However, his eyes gradually darkened in a place that no one could see.

“Don’t cook anything too fancy tonight. Just make it light and refreshing,” Qi Shenbai said to the butler.

The butler nodded and went to the kitchen to inform the chef.

Only Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai were left in the huge living room. Neither of them spoke first. The sun was setting outside the window, and the lights in the room made her face look even paler. The setting sun covered her delicate face, and her palm-sized face looked haggard.

Qi Shenbai unconsciously frowned. Why was she getting thinner and thinner?

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes. That burning gaze kept falling on her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Her gaze fell on the clock on the wall, staring at it without blinking.

When the time was up, Xu Jiaojiao could not wait to take out the thermometer. Perhaps she was too nervous or something , but she subconsciously raised her hand and the thermometer rolled into her clothes.

Xu Jiaojiao fumbled around in a flurry. Suddenly, a large palm grabbed her waist.

Xu Jiaojiao’s body stiffened when the hot palm pressed against her waist. A hint of panic flashed across her dark pupils.

“I’ll do it.” Qi Shenbai’s deep voice rang in her ears. His hand went up her waist. Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously straightened her back, her body as stiff as ice.
