1067 I’ll Be Right Back (1/2)

It was common for one to feel mierable upon waking up from a high fever. However, it was rare to see such a strange expression on Gu Xijiu's face! Nevertheless, Di Fuyi smiled and spoke gently, ”You must be thirsty. Would you like to drink some water?” He then took a glass of honey water and fed her.

It was very easy to be thirsty after recovering from a high fever. Thus, Gu Xijiu opened her mouth slightly to let the sweet honey water slide down her throat. Suddenly, she choked! All of the water gushed out from her mouth and spilled onto Di Fuyi's face! She started coughing vigorously as well.

Di Fuyi was calm. He put down the water and held her hand as he used his spiritual power to help soothe her throat. If she were choked before she was injured, she would be fine after a gentle pat on her back. However, she had to lie down for healing. Hence, Di Fuyi could only soothe her coughing with his spiritual power.

Finally, she has stopped coughing, but her wounds were in pain due to her vigorous movements earlier. She was apparently in pain, and her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat again.

Di Fuyi held her hand and paused. ”Xijiu?”

Gu Xijiu gasped and looked at him again. Her mouth was moving, but there was not a sound coming out from her mouth.

Di Fuyi's heart sank. ”Is your throat uncomfortable?”

Gu Xijiu opened her mouth again but still did not manage to speak. She seemed to realize that something was wrong as her trembling hand was stretching slowly toward her neck. She was sweating again although it was such a simple movement.

Di Fuyi could tell that she was scared. Her eyes were looking into his eyes with endless mystery. Was she mute due to her high fever? Or...?

Di Fuyi comforted her as he looked at her. ”Don't worry, it's probably because of the fever. Having speaking difficulties after a high fever is normal. I'll help you. What are you trying to say? You can write it down.”

He took out a brush and a paper and then passed it to her.
