night.

Lu Zhengguo sat at the desk, seemingly reading a book, but in fact, he would look up from time to time and look at the woman beside him.

Shen Man sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair from the roots to the ends, little by little, carefully, without noticing the man's gaze at all.

Under the dim light, every strand of her hair seemed to be radiating light, framing her beautiful profile, making it even more gorgeous and dazzling, and her skin was delicate and soft.

Less cold than during the day, more gentle.

Unconsciously, Lu Zhengguo was distracted for a moment and couldn't help but look at it a few more times without even opening the book in his hand.

Why didn't he realize before that Shen Man also had such a gentle side, not as thorny as she showed in front of him.

Perhaps because of what happened four years ago, he did have a lot of prejudice against her, causing her to suffer a lot of grievances.

Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, and was about to apologize for what happened today.

Unexpectedly, Shen Man went straight to the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and slept with her back to him, never once looking at him, as if there was no such person in the room.

Lu Zhengguo narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that she was angry with him because of what happened today, so she didn't want to pay attention to him.

He put down the book in his hand, got up and went out to wash up. Soon he came back from outside and planned to go to bed.

However, his arm accidentally touched the neck of the person next to him, and a burning sensation came over him, which was obviously wrong.

Lu Zhengguo's expression changed subconsciously. He reached out to touch Shen Man's forehead and found that it was indeed hot.

The man has a fever.

Apparently, she was fine not long ago.

Lu Zhengguo pulled the quilt over Shen Man and covered her with it. He then stood up and tried to find some antipyretic medicine. Unexpectedly, someone behind him grabbed him and held him tightly, not wanting him to leave.

I was in a daze, and everything around me was pitch black, without a trace of light.

When Shen Man heard the man calling her name, she wanted to respond to him, but she couldn't open her mouth. She could only pull him and beg him not to leave.

She was afraid of the dark and didn't want to be alone in a cold, dark place.

In order to hold that person tightly, Shen Man simply hugged him and refused to let him go.

Lu Zhengguo's body suddenly tensed up, and a feeling of heat and anger quickly spread throughout his body.

He looked down at the woman, who obediently climbed into his arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands.

That incredibly pretty little face, with a slightly flushed complexion, rubbed against his chest like a little kitten, so soft and fluffy that it seemed to melt anyone's heart.

“Don’t go…”

It was completely different from the arrogant and domineering look Shen Man had when she was in front of him.

Fragile, aggrieved, and still fragile and helpless... It was as if at this moment, she put away the sharp thorns on one side that she used to protect herself, revealing her other soft side.

It makes people feel pity.

Lu Zhengguo felt an uncontrollable guilt in his heart. He couldn't imagine whether it was because of what he said that Shen Man was deeply hurt and made her feel insecure, which caused her to suddenly have a high fever.

He subconsciously held the woman's soft body tightly in his arms, "Don't worry, I'm not leaving. I'm just going to get you some medicine."

Dimly, Shen Man seemed to be back in her own big bed, hugging her own big teddy bear and sleeping very comfortably.

She hugged the man's strong waist even tighter, rubbing her little face against his chest, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had a beautiful dream.

Lu Zhengguo rubbed his brows and pulled the woman's hand away helplessly.

She still has a fever and needs to take medicine.

"Listen, relax first, I'll get you some medicine."

A deep, magnetic voice rang in Shen Man's ears. She regained consciousness, and stood up from the man's arms, looking up at him with blinking eyes.

These bright and clear eyes seemed to only contain his figure.

Lu Zhengguo's ears turned red unconsciously, and his heartbeat accelerated suddenly. He looked away somewhat unconsciously and subconsciously raised his hand to cover Shen Man's eyes.

Who expected.

The next second, the woman's soft hand grasped his hand and slapped it away.

"Why are you blocking my view?"

"You deserve to be beaten!"

Lu Zhengguo's expression froze for a moment. He didn't expect that she could still be angry with him even though she had a high fever.

His tone softened rarely.

"Okay, I'll beat you. Get out of my arms first. I'll get you some medicine."

The man coaxed the woman to lie in his arms, while he held her tightly around his waist and gently pried her apart.

If you delay any longer, you might end up getting burned out.

This time Shen Man stopped making a fuss. She blinked her eyes and obediently let Lu Zhengguo pull her off him. He then stuffed her into the quilt and wrapped her tightly.

It was almost autumn night, but it was still very hot, not to mention that the man had covered her body with his own quilt and wrapped it tightly around her.

Shen Man was dazed and felt extremely hot, sweat all over her body.

She struggled and kicked the quilt on her body, "It's so hot, I don't want to be quilted..."

Lu Zhengguo rubbed his brows and glanced at the woman rolling around on the bed.

Then he turned around, took out some antipyretic medicine from his luggage, poured some hot water from the thermos, brought it to the bedside, and fed the medicine to Shen Man.

After taking the medicine, Shen Man fell asleep quickly. She was sweating all over, her forehead and hair were wet with sweat, and her flushed face made her look even more charming and attractive.

Lu Zhengguo's heartbeat began to pound, and the air around him became thin at this moment, as if it was difficult to breathe.

When he came to his senses again, he found that he was already sweating all over, and there was still a restless fire beating in his body.

Lu Zhengguo endured the discomfort, covered Shen Man with a quilt, strode out of the room, ran to the yard, fetched a bucket of water, and poured it over his head.

But for some reason, the restlessness in my heart increased instead of decreased, and I became more and more hot and unbearable.

Lu Zhengbing got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a tall black shadow standing there. There was some liquid dripping from the black shadow's body onto the ground.

Plop, plop, it keeps dripping, accompanied by heavy breathing.

The pitch-black and silent night seemed terrifying.

Lu Zhengbing was so frightened that his eyes widened, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to shout, the last bit of consciousness stopped him and he quickly covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he would disturb the dark shadow.

When Lu Zhengguo heard the noise, he turned around subconsciously to look.

His eyesight was pretty good even in the dark, and he saw at a glance that a person had fallen to the ground, and that person was his eldest brother.

"Brother, are you nervous?" Lu Zhengguo frowned slightly, put down the wooden barrel in his hand, and strode over.
