Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Take Care of Her One Night_1
“Both of these are medicines for wind-cold common colds. The one on the left is more effective, but after taking it, you will sleep for a few hours. The one on the right is slightly less effective, but it won’t make you sleepy. Which one should I choose for the young lady?” Xiumei asked.
“Choose the one that’s more effective.” Wei Jinyi replied.
“We should use the one that’s more effective then. ”
Xiumei turned around and headed out of the room to prepare the medicine, while Wei Jinyi sat down by Wei Ruo’s bedside.
Wei Ruo opened her eyes, looking at Wei Jinyi in his white clothes, his face as handsome as jade: “Second Brother, you are so good-looking.”
“Why are you talking nonsense when you’re sick?” said Wei Jinyi.
“You’re mistaken, second brother. It’s when people are sick and confused that they speak nonsense. Who talks nonsense when they’re clear-headed?” said Wei Ruo.
That actually makes sense.
We Ruo then asked: “Second Brother, how did you come over?”
“Xiumei urgently needed someone to prepare hot water”, answered Wei Jinyi.
Then everyone in Wei Ruo’s courtyard knew and Wei Jinyi also found out.
“She was overreacting a bit. It’s just a common cold, after taking the medicine and sleeping, I’ll be all right,” Wei Ruo said.
“Speak less, your throat is hurting,” Wei Jinyi said.
Wei Ruo nodded her agreement, and Xiumei returned after a short while.
Because they were using the medicine Wei Ruo had prepared in advance, it could be administered right after being prepared. In just a short amount of time, Xiumei brought over the prepared medicine.
“Let me feed her.” Wei Jinyi took the medicine from Xiumei’s hand.
Wei Ruo propped herself up: “I can drink it myself. I just have a little cold, I’m not so weak that I need someone to feed me medicine.”
Nodding casually, she didn’t speak further. Soon Xiumei returned.
Just as Wei Ruo propped herself up, Xiumei stuffed several pillows to her back: “Miss, lean there comfortably, rest well when you’re sick. That’s what you always told me, so this time it’s your turn to behave!”
Xiumei used to be weaker than Wei Ruo. She used to get sick often before practicing martial arts, and had experienced several injuries after practicing.
Every time she was sick or injured, she had to comply with Wei Ruo’s demands to rest well in bed.
Now the situation has reversed, it’s Wei Ruo’s turn to be pressed down by Xiumei and demanded to rest well.
Wei Ruo felt helpless, she had no choice but to acqueisce to Xiumei’s arrangement.
She obediently leaned on her bed, allowing Wei Jinyi to feed her the medication.
Wei Jinyi was gentle in his actions, with the spoon in front of her, Wei Ruo obediently drank down the medicine.
After drinking a couple of sips, she suddenly laughed.
“What’s so funny?” Wei Jinyi asked.
“Even though being fed medicine seems a bit melodramatic, it still feels nice to have someone taking care of you.” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Jinyi paused, and then replied in a serious tone: “Ruoruo, you’ve always been cared for by everyone.”
“Second Brother, do you remember when I told you about my memories from my past life?”
Then she dreamt she had a fever and her mother was beaten accordingly, she was struggling to prevent her father, but her hands couldn’t reach out, she could only watch her poor and pitiful mother being beaten by feather dusters.
Perhaps because she felt somewhat weak, or because she was touched by the moment, she brought up her past life once again to Wei Jinyi.
“Mhm.”
“I remember that in my past life, I got sick once. I was about seven years old, also with a fever, a very high temperature. My mother wanted to take me to the doctor, but my father disagreed. He believed that a child would naturally get better from a fever and there was no need to waste money on it. His money was to be saved up for a chance to win more.”
Wei Jinyi listened attentively, not interrupting Wei Ruo.
