Pei Fengzhi lay there weakly, her black hair loose. Her near-perfect face, and her usually sharp phoenix eyes, softened with illness. Three or four beads were loose at the top of her pajamas, revealing a section of her fair and bony collarbone.

He even spoke to himself in that tone, saying those ambiguous things.

Ye Ningwan swallowed hard, her throat dry, when suddenly a rush of heat surged through her nose.

"Wow!"

She immediately looked up and frantically pulled out several tissues to plug her nostrils.

Pei Fengzhi, leaning against the bed, was still looking at her with those silky eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, asking with concern.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? I'll call a doctor for you."

As he was about to press the bell, Ye Ningwan, who was quick-witted and agile, grabbed his hand.

She tilted her head slightly, her nostrils stuffed with tissues, and spoke to Pei Fengzhi in a muffled voice.

"No, no need! I bumped into something and that's why my nose is bleeding. There's no need to make a big fuss. Just plugging it up will be fine."

Pei Fengzhi still seemed a little uneasy, so he moved to the inside of the bed and patted the half of the bed that he had vacated.

"Then come up and lie down for a while."

Ye Ningwan looked at the narrow hospital bed and fell silent for a moment.

The hospital beds are all 1.2 meters wide. Although Pei Fengzhi has been in a vegetative state for several years, he is still a tall man over 190 cm. Even if she gives up half of her spot, if she really lies down, she will be very close to Pei Fengzhi.

She resolutely refused!

"No, no need! I feel much better!"

But Pei Fengzhi had already grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the hospital bed.

"You look very pale. Be good and come up here, or I'll call the doctor."

Now Ye Ningwan has two paths before her.

One option is to squeeze in with Pei Fengzhi.

Another one is that Pei Fengzhi summoned a group of experts at the director level or above to examine her, and then concluded that she was just suffering from internal heat, and reminded her to eat more things that can clear heat and reduce internal heat, and to watch less inappropriate movies.

EMMM...

Ye Ningwan decisively climbed onto Pei Fengzhi's sickbed.

The hospital bed was so small that Ye Ningwan had to stick close to Pei Fengzhi to avoid falling off.

Pei Fengzhi stretched out his long arm and pulled Ye Ningwan into his arms.

Ye Ningwan was practically lying on top of Pei Fengzhi, the two separated only by a thin silk nightgown. Ye Ningwan could clearly feel the burning heat emanating from Pei Fengzhi's body.

Even with her thick skin, she couldn't help but blush.

Pei Fengzhi's slightly surprised voice came from above.

"You're so hot! Your face is so red, do you have a fever?"

Ye Ningwan remained silent.

"..."

Whose fault is this?

A large hand reached out and touched Ye Ningwan's forehead to check its temperature.

Pei Fengzhi seemed to think it wasn't quite right, so he lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Ye Ningwan's forehead.

At this moment, their faces were very close. Ye Ning watched as Pei Fengzhi's long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, almost brushing against her eyes, and his breath, carrying the scent of sandalwood, sprayed onto her face.

Ye Ningwan felt even hotter.

She finally couldn't bear it any longer and pushed Pei Fengzhi away, her breathing becoming erratic. She turned her face away, not daring to meet Pei Fengzhi's gaze, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression.

She fanned her face with her hand, trying to appear relaxed, and forced a smile.

"It's so hot, you're covered in sweat. How about I help you take a shower?"

Even though the central air conditioning in the ward was set to 24 degrees Celsius, she was practically lying through her teeth, yet Pei Fengzhi didn't refuse.

His smile remained as gentle as ever, as if he knew nothing at all.

"I think so too, then I'll trouble Wanwan."

...

Pei Fengzhi's ward was the best SVIP ward in the entire hospital, almost exclusively arranged for people of Pei Fengzhi's status.

Therefore, apart from the standard hospital beds that are easy to move and access to elevators and operating rooms, everything else is configured to the highest standards, including the bathrooms.

At that time, the bathtub was already filled with hot water, and the rising white steam filled the entire bathroom. The visible range in the bathroom was very short, and the thin white steam was barely visible in front of us, softening the sharp features of the person in front of us.

Pei Fengzhi had been bedridden for so many years, and his muscles had atrophied, making it difficult for him to walk. Even standing was difficult, let alone walking.

Ye Ningwan helped Pei Fengzhi carefully step into the bathtub, whispering instructions to him.

"careful."

But as soon as Ye Ningwan finished speaking, Pei Fengzhi, who had just stepped into the bathtub with one foot and lifted the other, suddenly slipped and fell heavily into the bathtub.

Caught off guard, Ye Ningwan was pulled into the bathtub along with her.

"ah--"

thump!

A huge splash of water erupted, wading out of the bathtub and splashing water all over the floor, while the two people inside the bathtub were intertwined.

Ye Ningwan crashed into Pei Fengzhi's arms, completely soaked, even her hair was dripping wet.

She struggled for a long time but couldn't get up in the slippery bathtub. In the end, Pei Fengzhi helped her up, and Ye Ningwan finally managed to sit up.

She subconsciously looked at Pei Fengzhi's hand, which had just undergone surgery, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it was only slightly damp.

She patted her chest and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

Pei Fengzhi looked at her, who was clearly like a wet kitten, yet still cared about his hands, and reached out to wipe away the water droplets dripping from her face.

I got you wet.

He seemed apologetic, yet his tone was so calm.

Ye Ningwan lowered her head and tugged at the clothes that were now sticking to her body and had become semi-transparent, then shook her head.

"It's alright, you didn't do it on purpose."

As she spoke, she braced herself on the edge of the bathtub and tried to get up, but Pei Fengzhi stopped her again.

"You're all wet, why don't we take a shower together?"

The words were clearly ambiguous, yet Pei Fengzhi said them so casually and naturally, as if they were just a few ordinary sentences.

Ye Ningwan was unable to refute the other party for a moment.

"this……"

Pei Fengzhi understood her hesitation and was very considerate of her concerns.

"You don't need to be shy. We are husband and wife. This is a very natural thing."

Ye Ningwan still hesitated.

Then Pei Fengzhi spoke again.

"You've seen right through me, haven't you?"

Ye Ningwan remained silent.

"..."

That seems to be true.

And it happened twice.

Perhaps because she had been silent for too long, Pei Fengzhi finally sighed and said apologetically to Ye Ningwan in a low voice.

"I went a bit too far just now, please don't be angry. I just thought it was uncomfortable for you to wear wet clothes, and that you'd be more prone to catching a cold."

"If you can't get over it psychologically, you can blindfold me so I can't see."

Finally, Ye Ningwan, who had been silent all along, reached out and unbuttoned her clothes.
