There is nothing else besides this.

The light in the room was dim. Qin Zhao was lying on the wooden bed, his brows unconsciously wrinkled. The blood color on his lips had faded, but his cheeks were a little red.

He is indeed sick.

Jing Li jumped a little closer, but the injury on one side of his waist and abdomen limited his mobility, and it took him a lot of effort to jump onto the pillow.

Qin Zhao looks even better when he's asleep than when he's awake.

The lines of his facial features appeared even deeper and more three-dimensional in the dim light in the room. The corners of his slender eyes were a little red due to the fever, and there was even a small, light-colored cinnabar mole at the end of his eye.

Jing Li looked a little dazed.

He couldn't imagine why such a person would be ostracized.

Qin Zhao had a gentle and kind personality, yet he lacked the pedantry and boredom of the ancient scholars. If such a kind person were not in poor health, I wonder how many men and women he would have won over.

They must bully him because he has a good temper.

Jing Li thought angrily, propped himself up, and gently touched Qin Zhao's cheek with his cold fin.

But he was so burned that he pulled it back suddenly.

We can't keep burning like this.

Jing Li didn't care whether he would be suspected or not, and slapped Qin Zhao's face hard.

Don’t sleep anymore, get up quickly and drink the medicine first!

But Qin Zhao had such a high fever that he seemed to have lost all consciousness. No matter how Jing Li slapped him, he couldn't wake him up.

...Then you can't blame him.

Jing Li raised his upper body, spread his fins, took a deep breath, and soared, swinging his tail hard behind him.

Bang——!

The fish tail hit Qin Zhao's face hard. The other party had a thin skin, and a faint red mark appeared on the side of his face almost instantly.

But still no response.

Still not awake???

Jing Li was anxious and angry. He couldn't stay out of the water for too long. After all this time, the feeling of suffocation from lack of water was gradually rising, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to open his gills.

We can't delay any longer.

Jing Li took a deep breath and used even more strength than before to lift his body up, his tail also raised high.

But the next moment, Qin Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and met Jing Li's gaze.

As if waking up from a nightmare, Qin Zhao had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his eyes became very different from usual.

The previous gentle and kind appearance faded away, and the eyes were filled with vigilance and coldness, making the narrow and deep eyes look even colder.

And even more unfamiliar.

Jing Li shuddered at his glare, lost his balance, and rolled onto the quilt.

The room was silent for a while, the only sound in the air being the popping of firewood outside.

Jing Li lay on Qin Zhao's chest, and it took him a while to notice that he was actually trembling slightly.

I have to say, Qin Zhao's appearance... is really a bit scary.

The man and the fish stared at each other for a long time.

After a moment, the cold look in Qin Zhao's eyes faded away and he returned to normal.

Then he slowly and gently touched the side of his face. On that pale and flawless face, a new red mark with a little water stain remained.

"You..." Qin Zhao looked a little confused, not knowing whether it was because of his fever or because the current situation was indeed incomprehensible. "...you hit me?"

Jing Li: “…”

Um...does he still have a chance to explain?
