Bai Ye returned home, lay on the sofa, feeling somewhat melancholy. He felt guilty for deceiving her.

He wasn't good at lying, and when he did, it was easy for others to see through him. Xia Qingyue definitely knew he was lying.

She didn't press him further. Bai Ye recalled the scene from earlier, and the light in the woman's eyes dimmed the instant he left.

Bai Ye sat on the sofa, scratching his head in frustration.

Not knowing what to do, Bai Ye turned on the TV, hoping to watch a comedy to cheer herself up.

But I stopped just as I was about to open it.

What is she doing?

The image of the woman involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

A woman who had passed out drunk the night before, suffering from a headache, had no one by her side to take care of her, and yet she left.

Bai Ye froze, his expression blank.

After a long pause, he slapped himself hard.

...

In the dimly lit room, a beautiful figure lay peacefully on the sofa, her arms tightly wrapped around herself, her body curled up like a dumpling.

The woman's lips were pale, and her face was bloodless.

When Bai Ye pushed open the door, he immediately noticed that Xia Qingyue's condition was not right.

What happened? It's only been less than an hour!

Looking at the pale-faced woman, Bai Ye felt a pang of heartache.

He quickly took a blanket from the room and covered the woman with it.

Bai Ye grasped the woman's hand and found it to be icy cold. He then touched her forehead, which was burning hot.

He has a fever! He must have caught a chill yesterday.

What is this woman trying to prove? She was definitely acting strange this morning, but she just wouldn't say anything.

"Cold, so cold!" Xia Qingyue muttered, her eyes tightly shut.

Bai Ye disregarded everything else and hugged the woman who was holding the blankets, trying to dispel her chill with his body heat.

...

The woman struggled to open her eyes, the headache making her feel suffocated.

She had a dream in which she was locked in a dark cage, with no light, no heat, only a biting cold wind.

She huddled together in loneliness and fear, not knowing how to escape, when suddenly a golden light dispelled the darkness, bringing warmth, and she woke up from her dream.

The woman looked at the boy, whose face was full of worry, and carried him in the elevator to the underground parking garage.

"Little Night?" The question was tinged with doubt and confusion.

"You're awake!" Bai Ye, who had been somewhat happy, became serious again: "Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well? Now you have such a high fever, I'll take you to the hospital first."

"I'm fine." Xia Qingyue struggled a little, but the weakness in her hands made her accept the truth.

Bai Ye said in an unquestionable tone, "Nothing my foot! Since you treat me like a younger brother, then you, as the older sister, should listen to me!"

Xia Qingyue calmed down, and her previously dim eyes once again shone with a more dazzling color than before.

Bai Ye put Xia Qingyue in the car.

Xia Qingyue gently covered her with the blanket, sealing every corner, her expression tender as she watched this scene.

"You can sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when we get there," Bai Ye instructed.

"Um!"

My heart is very greedy; I don't just want you to be my younger brother, little Yaya!

...

Bai Ye only realized halfway there that she had forgotten something very important.

He forgot to bring Xia Qingyue's shoes!

They arrived in such a hurry that they didn't even notice.

Sigh, I guess I'll just have to keep holding onto Sister Qingyue.

Although it was tempting to have a beautiful woman in his arms, Bai Ye was truly disappointed in love, or rather, he was still stuck in his previous relationship and hadn't moved on. Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to stay away from women.

With such inner turmoil, there's no way one could enjoy it.

The hospital is not far from the community; it's only a ten-minute walk away.

Bai Ye found a good spot to park the car and opened the back door.

"Sister Qingyue, wake up, we're here!" He waved his hand in front of Xia Qingyue's eyes, trying to wake her up.

Xia Qingyue opened her eyes groggily, feeling extremely dizzy and uncomfortable.

Bai Ye placed his right hand behind her back and wrapped his left arm around her leg.

Because of the blankets separating them, Bai Ye couldn't feel any of the woman's skin, and he was slightly disappointed.

He gently picked the woman up.

Xia Qingyue felt a sense of weightlessness and instinctively reached out to hug Bai Ye's neck.

Bai Ye was startled and subconsciously lowered his head. Their eyes met, and the woman's eyes seemed to hold stars. Even with her pale face, she was still so beautiful and delicate.

Bai Ye had lost count of how many times he had been amazed. Compared to his ex-girlfriend, this woman was leagues ahead of him, but Bai Ye didn't have any particular feelings about her.

Because he had long understood a principle: the more beautiful a woman is, the more trouble she is, the less likely she is to belong to him, and the higher his standards are, the less he would even consider her.

Perhaps it was due to feelings of inferiority, or perhaps it was due to pride.

Moreover, the woman drives a Porsche, and her home is quite luxurious, clearly indicating she's a very wealthy woman. A woman of that caliber wouldn't even look at him.

Bai Ye registered the woman for an appointment. Since it was the fever clinic and Xia Qingyue was unable to move around easily, Bai Ye had to ask the doctor from the fever clinic to come out and take the woman's temperature.

A high temperature of 39.6 degrees Celsius!

Bai Ye felt a chill run down her spine. The temperature was so high!

Seeing the woman's furrowed brows, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel extremely worried.

Because of the high temperature, the nurse arrived immediately and fished a bottle for Xia Qingyue.

Because there were so many people seeking medical attention today, all the hospital beds were already taken, so the two of them had to sit on chairs.

Xia Qingyue stared blankly at Bai Ye, who quickly realized that the woman was not wearing shoes.

So Bai Ye took up two seats, letting the woman put her legs on the other chair and then lie down on the chair.

But the chair was made of iron, which was quite uncomfortable.

Bai Ye gritted his teeth, sat down in the chair, and let the woman rest her head on him.

"Are you feeling better? Should I go get a pillow?" Bai Ye asked softly.

"Hmm! I feel better, no need, this is good!" Xia Qingyue felt a warmth in her heart, feeling that Bai Ye was like a savior at this moment.

Her special feelings for Bai Ye gradually deepened.

Are you still cold?

"Mm!" Xia Qingyue nodded.

Bai Ye frowned, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Bai Ye's bewildered expression, Xia Qingyue regained some of her spirits and teased, "Why don't you hug me! Let me warm up!"

Bai Ye's face stiffened, and he paused.

"Oh! Just kidding! Little Ye Ye hates her older sister so much, how could she possibly hug her?" Xia Qingyue's face immediately turned extremely disappointed.

For some reason, Bai Ye suddenly pulled the woman into his arms.

With the beautiful woman in his arms, Bai Ye's heart was completely pure and without any evil intentions.

Xia Qingyue's disappointment had vanished without a trace, and she buried her head in Bai Ye's chest.

Little Ye Ye, you're so easy to fool! I've got you covered!

At this moment, Xia Qingyue felt a sense of belonging, the emptiness in her heart was gradually filled, and her eyes shone brightly.
