Chapter 15 I have a fever
Wen Nianchu closed the door, quickly took off his clothes, and changed into his usual summer home clothes.
"Ahhh, this is life!
After changing, Wen Nianchu threw herself directly onto her big bed. As she spoke, she rolled over several times on the fluffy air-conditioned quilt, rolling back and forth, left and right, without feeling bored at all.
A quilt that doesn't smell like disinfectant.
Full of sun-dried flavor.
Wen Nianchu buried his face in the pillow printed with cloud patterns and took a deep breath.
After all, when she died in her previous life, she had been in that shabby hospital, smelling disinfectant and sleeping on a hard bed.
Thinking of this, Wen Nianchu deliberately rolled a few more times, enjoying the feeling of the mattress gently bouncing her up like cotton candy. The sky blue sheets had been wrinkled by her rolling.
When she finally had enough fun, Wen Nianchu sat up with messy hair and a round hamster pillow in her arms.
She tilted her head and her cheeks puffed up unconsciously, which was her habitual action when thinking.
Unfortunately, during her last cancer bout in her previous life, all her bony fingers could touch were sunken cheekbones and sagging skin. Chemotherapy had taken away her right to puff out her cheeks; there was no flesh left to swell.
Thinking of this, Wen Nianchu rubbed her temples, driving those messy thoughts out of her mind. Now was not the time to be sad - she needed to think carefully about the Imperial Dynasty.
The security in that place is insanely strict.
The entrance is equipped with security checks, and all electronic devices will be confiscated, including mobile phones and pinhole cameras. Even non-electronic knives and lighters cannot escape inspection. Once they are found, they will be dragged away by security.
But Wen Nianchu never fights an unprepared battle.
Entering the bathroom, she unscrewed the bottle of sunscreen spray and poured the remaining liquid into the sink. The pale white lotion slid down the porcelain wall, swirling in the water and disappearing.
The water washed away the remaining sunscreen in the bottle silently.
Then, she took out a bottle of pepper spray from her bag, rubbed the bottle with her fingertips, and after confirming that it was correct, she slowly poured it into the empty bottle.
The girl in the mirror raised her lips slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. The imperial inspection was very strict, but it did not mean that she could not make any self-defense preparations.
They don’t check the water because it’s not aggressive.
Wen Nianchu had just stuffed the modified sunscreen spray into her bag when her cell phone screen suddenly lit up.
A message pops up.
Xie Yue.
[Miss Wen, no electronic devices allowed]
Wen Nianchu stared at the line of words, his fingertips pausing on the screen for a second.
——Is he reminding her?
She held the phone and scoffed.
Unfortunately, this news was of no use to her.
So she thought about it and slowly typed a reply.
[I love your rose very much. As a thank you, I also accept your leg.]
In his previous life, hadn't Xie Yue's legs become prosthetic limbs? This time, she protected him.
Living this life again, Wen Nianchu did what she said.
In this game of the Imperial Dynasty, she not only wants to win, but also wants Xie Yue to get out of it safely.
Wen Nianchu remembered the two roses in her bag, so she took out the roses and casually put them in the vase that already contained roses on the small balcony of her bedroom.
Her eyes followed the clear water flowing over the stem, slowly moving from the tiny thorns to the bright red petals. The rose gave people a sense of powerful, vigorous vitality.
For Wen Nianchu, it not only symbolizes love, but also symbolizes herself.

The misty bathroom door was pushed open, and Xie Yue walked out shirtless and wearing slippers.
He casually grabbed the white towel draped over his shoulders and rubbed his wet black hair. Water droplets splashed everywhere, and a few drops fell on his eyelashes, making his narrow eyes look even darker and deeper.
With a "ding" sound.
The phone screen lit up.
Xie Yue took a few steps forward.
The dripping water droplets accelerated as they slid down the taut abdominal muscles, forming a thin stream at the waist and abdomen, and finally disappeared into the edge of the loosely tied pajamas.
Xie Yue grabbed the old phone on the bed, and Wen Nianchu's reply came into his sight clearly:
[I love your rose very much. As a thank you, I also accept your leg.]
Xie Yue's Adam's apple rolled, and a drop of water happened to drip from his chin onto the screen.
He raised his hand to wipe away the water droplets, and rubbed the screen with the tips of his index and middle fingers for a moment, as if he could touch the spoiled young lady on the other side of the screen through this shabby phone.
"Take my legs?" Xie Yue's voice was hoarse.
He had just learned that Wen Nianchu was framed today.
Wen Nianchu, the daughter of a wealthy family, is indeed a little different. She reacts quickly to crises.
Now, he is bold enough to enter and leave the imperial palace.
Before he could reply, a phone call came directly.
"Boss, the settlement payment for the penetration test you performed on the company founded by the young master of the Pei family in Beijing has arrived. I've already transferred all the money to the hospital. When do you think Dean Wu will recover from this illness?"
Dean Wu is the director of Xie Yue Orphanage. He grew up in the orphanage.
Dean Wu was diagnosed with brain cancer this year, and Xie Yue hired foreign experts to treat him. However, the surgery was a bit expensive, and he had just finished the college entrance examination, so he did not have that much money to operate.
"Oh, Boss, this Wen Nianchu you asked me to investigate is just an ordinary rich girl. There's nothing noteworthy about her." The person on the phone continued, "Boss, why are you suddenly investigating her?"
Xie Yue was silent for a moment.
He did have some doubts about the system. Everything about it was closely connected to Wen Nianchu. It was too coincidental and too weird.
He almost thought that she was behind the system, but then he denied it. After all, the technology in China had not developed to that level, and it was impossible to implant a chip directly into the human brain.
It seems that he was overthinking it.
Perhaps, there really is some kind of indescribable power that transcends common sense in this world?
"Wait, you just said you've paid all the money?"
Xie Yue frowned.
"Next time, leave some in my account."
The younger brother opposite: "Boss, don't you always emphasize that money is just a thing outside of the body?"
The corners of Xie Yue's mouth twitched.
If the system hadn't kept asking him to spend money on Wen Nianchu, he really wouldn't need much money.
But the amount of money required by the system is slowly increasing, and he cannot raise the money in a short period of time. It is impossible for him to pick up trash every day like he did today to make quick money.
It is difficult to find a job that pays by the day.
What can he do?
What a nemesis.
After a while, Xie Yue slowly said, "Recently... I got a cat."
"ah?"
"She's a very delicate type." Xie Yue said in a deep voice. He walked to the bathroom and wrung out a towel, causing water droplets to splash onto the sink. "She only eats imported canned food and wears a diamond necklace."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone: "Boss, do you have a fever?"
