Chapter 43 The Arrogant Prince 10

"..." Xu Yuan looked completely innocent. What had he done wrong? They were both human, so why were they so fierce to him but so gentle to Miss Shi Qiu?

He didn't dare think too much about it and quickly took his leave. Sigh, he's having such a hard time...

After chasing Xu Yuan away, Zhou Zichen put on a gentle smile again and said to the half-lying girl, "Qiuqiu, be good, drink your medicine first, and then drink some sugar water so it won't be bitter."

"Chen, feed me and I'll drink." Xu Qiuqiu's voice was soft and sweet. Looking at his indulgent eyes, she wanted to tease him a little.

“Okay.” Zhou Zichen had just agreed when he started to feel troubled, as he had never served anyone before.

Looking at the girl waiting for him with eager eyes, he picked up the medicine bowl, took the spoon, and fed her the medicine.

Xu Qiuqiu obediently took a sip, then immediately frowned, "Achen, it's so bitter, I'm not drinking it..."

"No, you'll only get better after taking the medicine." This time, Zhou Zichen didn't give in to her and said in a way that left no room for refusal.

Hearing his serious tone, Xu Qiuqiu suddenly felt a little wronged. She pouted and said, "Then I'll drink a sip if Achen drinks a sip, otherwise I won't drink."

"Okay, Qiuqiu just took a sip, now I'll take a sip." After saying that, she picked up the spoon, took a sip, and then held the spoon to her lips. "Now it's Qiuqiu's turn to drink."

Xu Qiuqiu was surprised that he actually agreed, so she had no choice but to frown and drink it down.

003 was stunned. He never expected the host to act so childish when she was sick. And what's wrong with the second male lead? His character is about to collapse.

Look at how much the second male lead is enjoying himself. It's as if it's thinking, "Wouldn't it be even more painful to be fed bite by bite?"

Isn't the correct way to gulp it down and then quickly drink some sugar water?

It really understands humans less and less.

The medicine was actually quite bitter, but Zhou Zichen felt a sweet warmth in his heart, and they even shared a spoon…

As he fed her, her ears turned red. Soon the medicine was gone, so he picked up the sugar water and fed her a few sips.

After watching her obediently finish drinking, I carefully wiped the water stains from her lips with my sleeve.

Looking into her wet eyes, so obedient, his heart softened, and he gently coaxed her, "Qiuqiu, take a nap, and you won't feel uncomfortable when you wake up."

After saying that, he put his arm around her shoulder, placed the pillow down for her to lie down, and covered her with a blanket.

The medicine took effect quickly, and Xu Qiuqiu felt drowsy. She tugged at Zhou Zichen's sleeve, "Achen..."

"Okay, I won't leave," Zhou Zichen said gently, taking her hand in his large one.

He felt she was clingy, but he loved the feeling of being relied upon and wanted to do everything she asked.

Hearing his response, Xu Qiuqiu closed her eyes with peace of mind and quickly fell asleep.

Looking at her sleeping face, Zhou Zichen couldn't help but smile.

He seemed to have never been so happy; he laughed more today than he had in the previous decade or so combined.

As darkness fell, Xu Qiuqiu slept until the afternoon. When she woke up again, she found that she no longer felt dizzy or lightheaded.

When she was delirious with fever, she vaguely saw Qi Chen taking care of her, and she even threw a tantrum at him.

She felt this must be a dream; she was already in a second world.

"Host, you're finally awake!" 003 said excitedly. It had been worried sick about its host who had been lying there all night and had tried to talk to the host all night, but the host hadn't responded.

It had heard that humans are very vulnerable when they get sick and may die, which terrified it. The system store has medicine to treat fever, but it can't get it without the host's instruction, not to mention that the host has to consciously take the medicine herself.

"Hmm," Xu Qiuqiu replied, then recalled some hazy memories, "003, did anyone come when I had a fever?"

"Yes, the second male lead is here. He took care of you all morning," 003 answered truthfully.

Although it didn't understand why the second male lead suddenly changed his image, he saved the host, and it fell in love with him.

"Oh, right, host, the female lead's happiness level has also increased, reaching 20%!"

"You mean Zhou Zichen took care of me all morning?" Xu Qiuqiu asked, seizing the key point.

"Yeah, they just left, and the host was still holding onto the second male lead's hand and wouldn't let go." 003 felt a little sweet thinking about that scene.

"..." Oh my god! She grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go?

Wouldn't he get angry, drag her out, and kill her?

She asked in despair, "He...isn't angry, is he?"

"No, I think the second male lead is quite happy. It's probably because they won the battle," 003 said after thinking for a moment.

"Huh? They won so quickly?" Xu Qiuqiu was a little surprised. She had only had a fever, and they had already won the battle?

"Yes, because of the military distribution map provided by the host, the second male lead sent several groups of people to raid the military camp at night and set it on fire. As a result, the Qi Kingdom's military camp was basically wiped out. However, the original male lead was escorted away."

"So that's how it is." Xu Qiuqiu thought to herself, thank goodness, he won the battle and didn't hold it against her.

She couldn't remember much about what happened that morning, only some vague fragments, which made her think it was a dream when she woke up.
