She cried out his name a few times. Huo Yunshen was delirious in his high fever and he could vaguely hear Xu Xiyan calling his name.

He thought it was an illusion and reached out to her saying, “Jing Xi, don’t go…”

“I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.”

Xu Xiyan held his hand, closing her fingers around his.

His palm was wide in her hand. It felt dry and very warm.

His body temperature was so high. Was it a fever?

He mumbled something incomprehensible then fainted. Xu Xiyan touched his forehead with the back of her hand. It really was a fever.

He looked very ill and Xu Xiyan felt an unspeakable heartache. Wasn’t he fine yesterday?

How did he suddenly become sick today?

Xu Xiyan had learned Chinese medicine from her grandfather since she was a child. She remained calm as she looked him over and took his pulse, then proceeded to treat him and lower his body temperature.

Xu Xiyan boiled some ginger soup. Then she helped sit him up and held him in her arms, feeding him ginger soup bit by bit.

After the soup was gone, she covered Huo Yunshen with a blanket.

He began to sweat heavily, and not long after that, his fever receded and he began to regain consciousness.

Huo Yunshen opened his eyes and saw Xu Xiyan in front of him, light returning to his dark eyes.

“Jing Xi, why are you here?” he said weakly.

Even though he had lost his voice, he still sounded charming and even more mesmerizing.

Xu Xiyan helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead and his body and said, “If I had not come, you might’ve died and n.o.body would have known.”
