After Liu Huan went in, she found that Su Yi was not in the room. She then went to the study next door and saw him coughing while reading a book.

She stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Shitou, what's wrong? Why is your high fever not going down?"

After saying that, I reached out and touched his forehead, and found that it was really hot.

Su Yi ignored her and did not stop her from touching her forehead.

After touching him, Liu Huan exclaimed in surprise, "Shi Tou, you're sick, why are you still reading? Go to bed and lie down."

She reached out to pull him away, but he was mercilessly shaken off. After shaking off her hand, he started coughing incessantly, making Liu Huan anxiously pace around him.

She put her hands on her hips, looking a little angry, and shouted, "What are you throwing a tantrum about?"

Su Yi then raised his eyelids and glanced at her. "Weren't you ignoring me? Why are you bothering me now?"

That look in his eyes made him seem wronged, as if Liu Huan were a heartless man.

"I...I wasn't avoiding you, I was just busy."

Su Yi glanced at her and said, "You know perfectly well whether you're busy or not, hmph."

Liu Huan was almost charmed by this hum, and she suppressed a laugh and said, "What do I know? Don't be unreasonable. It's so hot, why are you reading? Go back and lie down."

If he wouldn't get up, she would be pulled hard until Su Yi reluctantly got up, still a little unsteady.

"Slow down, let me help you inside."

He was just pretending; he couldn't bear to let Liu Huan carry the burden. He should have taken Liu Huan's hand and walked away himself.

He coughed with every step he took, looking like he'd had tuberculosis for years.

Liu Huan muttered, "How did it get so serious overnight?"

Su Yi was furious when she heard this and complained, "If you don't come back every day, you won't even know if I die."

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense about dying, you just talk nonsense all day long."

She helped him to the bed, but the man lay down like a child, turning to his side and refusing to look at her.

After a long silence, he turned around and saw that the person was nowhere to be seen. He was so angry that he sat up in bed.

Liu Huan carried the basin of water in and saw him sitting on the bed. She thought he was feeling unwell again, so she put down the basin and went over to him. "What's wrong?"

Su Yi looked at the basin of water, then at her, and lay down again without saying a word.

Liu Huan stepped forward with a warm handkerchief and asked him to turn around.

Su Yi did as she was told, and then she took a handkerchief and wiped her face and hands, and then...

"Take off your clothes."

Su Yi's face flushed bright red instantly. "Why...why are you taking off your clothes?"

"Your skin is so hot, it won't come down. Let me wipe it to cool you down."

Liu Huan was so serious that Su Yi realized he had misunderstood.

He coughed lightly and said, "No need, I'll be fine after a nap."

Liu Huan gave her no room to refuse, "What's so good about it? What if it doesn't dissipate heat and gets burned out? Take it off quickly."

Su Yi had really shot herself in the foot. She was now clutching her clothes tightly, saying, "No need, I'll be fine after taking the medicine."

Without waiting for a reply, Liu Huan took off her shoes and got into bed, saying, "What are you shy about? I'll help you."

The two women pulled and tugged at each other, but Su Yi stopped the flailing little hands and said in a deep voice, "Don't move."

Bewitched by the voice, Liu Huan stared straight at him, swallowing hard as she looked into his deep eyes.

Just as the atmosphere was both quiet and ambiguous, a spoilsport sound came from the doorway.

"Young master, medicine..."

Su Yi immediately pulled Liu Huan inside, reached out and pulled down the bed curtain, and shouted, "Get out!"

Changbai was startled and almost spilled the medicine in his hand. He immediately lowered his head, went out, and closed the door.

Although he didn't know what had happened.

Seeing this, Su Wan in the courtyard asked curiously, "Wasn't I bringing medicine to your young master? Why are you bringing it out again?"

Changbai's mind raced. "Oh, the young master said to wait until it cools down a bit before going in."

Su Wan nodded, "Keep an eye on him while he drinks, don't let him take his health for granted."

Changbai nodded, holding the bowl, "Okay, okay." Then he immediately fled the scene of the crime.

Liu Huan inside was completely terrified. Her face was as red as a shrimp. She grabbed Su Yi's blanket and wrapped herself up tightly.

"It's alright, he's gone."

Su Yi tried to pull it out but couldn't. Fearing that the person inside would get sick from the heat, he patiently coaxed, "Don't cover yourself up, come out quickly."

"I'm so cold, I don't have a blanket."

Finally, feigning pitifulness, Liu Huan took the blanket off herself and draped it over him, then quickly got out of bed, dressed, and ran out.

After everyone left, Su Yi peeked out from under the covers, glanced at his body with annoyance, and clicked his tongue.

She got up, wrapped her disheveled clothes in them, opened the door, and ordered, "Prepare water; I want to take a bath."

Changbai appeared with the medicine, wanting to say that it wasn't good to take a bath when you're sick, but seeing his young master's murderous expression, he didn't dare to speak.

"Young master, please drink your medicine first, I'll go get some water while I'm at it."

"Don't make the water too hot," he said, then drank the medicine in one gulp and handed the bowl to him before stopping.

He glanced at the tightly closed door beside him, smiled, and then went inside.

Liu Huan, who had been hiding under the covers since entering the room, didn't get up for a long time. Recalling what had just happened, she gritted her teeth and cursed, "You stinky rock!"

Qiu Rong entered the room and, seeing the small mound on the bed, asked, "Miss, aren't you going to take a bath?"

Liu Huan then stood up and said, "Yes, fetch some water."

While washing, I looked at my figure. It wasn't particularly impressive, but it wasn't small either.

Thinking about it again, I'm only sixteen years old. In the past, I would have been a girl who had just started high school. How could I have grown up so fast?

As a good young person, refuse to date too early!

After calming herself down and taking a pleasant bath, she fell asleep contentedly, though she herself didn't know what she was so happy about.

The next day, just when Su Yi thought that someone was going to ignore him again, that person brought a bowl of hot porridge into the room.

"Get up, drink your porridge and take your medicine, then go back to sleep. I've already asked Changbai to ask for leave for you."

"Don't say you don't need it. Health is the foundation of everything. If you're sick, you should rest."

Su Yi was speechless after hearing those two sentences. He nodded, got up, washed up, and ate breakfast.

But she still looked aggrieved and ignored Liu Huan.

Liu Huan waited until he finished eating before saying seriously, "Shi Tou, I've thought about what you said the other day. I don't want to get married now."

Su Yi's face paled, he nodded without saying a word, and slumped down like a listless Alaskan Malamute.

Let me finish speaking first.

Liu Huan held his hand and said, "I don't want to get married right now because I think I'm too young. I'm only sixteen. I should be at least twenty."

She looked at him awkwardly as she spoke, "If you can't wait, you can..."

Su Yi interrupted her: "No, I'm willing to wait, whether it's five years or ten years, as long as it's you, I'm willing to wait forever, you believe me."

Seeing his eagerness to explain, Liu Huan felt a warmth in her heart. "I understand, but you have to make this clear: I can't accept having multiple wives and concubines. If you dare to take a concubine, I will never marry you."

Su Yi held her hand and promised, "You alone are enough."

Liu Huan nodded and said proudly, "That's more like it."

She stopped thinking about the things in her dreams. If she hadn't made those mistakes in this life, she would still be Su Yi's child bride, and those noble ladies would never appear again.

She comforted herself, saying, "This is something I fought for."
