Arriving at the gate of Qin Mi's house, Wen Xi knocked on the door. Qin Mi quickly got up and came to open the door, taking the basket from Wen Xi's hands.
Upon entering the main room and sitting down on the wooden sofa, Qin Mi went to the kitchen to make Wen Xi a cup of malted milk powder. When he came out, he saw that Wen Xi's eyes were bright and filled with tears. The way he looked at him was so pitiful, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Even her hands, which were resting on her lap, were trembling involuntarily.
"Xi, what's wrong?" Qin Mi reached out and held Wen Xi's hand, asking worriedly.
As soon as Qin Mi grabbed Wen Xi's hand, she was shocked because her hand was as cold as ice. Qin Mi hurriedly went back to her room, took out her still warm blanket, and wrapped Wen Xi in it.
Then he quickly picked up the malted milk powder and fed it to Wenxi.
"Xi, what's wrong? What happened? Don't scare me!" Qin Mi asked anxiously, rubbing Wen Xi's hands.
"Brother Qin, do you think there are still good men in this world?" Wen Xi asked with a blank look on her face.
Why does He Chen'an still revolve around her even though there are other people around him? It makes her really think that He Chen'an can't live without her!
How can someone's acting be so good? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she really wouldn't have been able to tell that He Chen'an was this kind of person. Is it because she is too inexperienced?
"Of course there are, your father, your brother," Qin Mi said seriously. "And me too. It's not that there aren't any, it's just that you haven't met them yet. You're still young, and you need to experience more before you can understand more. These are just experiences in your long life, they're not important, and they're not worth your worry or sadness."
Wenxi listened quietly, her mind blank, her eyes glazed over, not seeing or thinking about anything.
After a long while, Wen Xi finally came to her senses. She awkwardly withdrew her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Qin, I disturbed your rest. I should go back now."
Wen Xi made a move to get up, but Qin Mi quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her back. "Xi, I'm not comfortable letting you go back alone in your current state. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Uncle Wang. You can rest here with me today, and I'll take you back after I get off work tonight."
Qin Mi then picked up Wen Xi, blanket and all, and carried her back to the bedroom, placing her on the bed. "You should rest well. I'll go make breakfast first."
Qin Mi tucked Wen Xi in and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast. He picked some greens from the garden, cooked vegetable noodles, and added a poached egg.
He originally wanted to fry an egg because fried eggs are more fragrant, but he was worried that Wenxi was not suitable for eating greasy food right now, so he chose a poached egg instead.
Qin Mi brought the vegetable and egg noodles into the room, then helped Wen Xi up. "Xi, eat something hot, it will warm you up."
Wen Xi felt a little embarrassed and refused, "Brother Qin, I can do it myself!"
"I'll do it," Qin Mi said, leaving no room for refusal.
Then Qin Mi picked up a mouthful of noodles, blew on it gently, and fed it to Wen Xi. Seeing him taking care of her like a child, Wen Xi found it a little funny. Looking at Qin Mi, she felt like she was looking at her second brother, because her second brother had always taken care of her like this since she was a child.
In this awkward situation, Qin Mi fed Wen Xi half a bowl of noodles, a poached egg, and a few mouthfuls of noodle soup. As the steaming noodles entered her stomach, she felt her whole body slowly warming up.
In this early spring, when the weather was still chilly, she was hurt by He Chen'an so badly that she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Xi, I've put some hot water on the table next to you. Get up and drink if you're thirsty. I'll be back at noon." After instructing Wen Xi, Qin Mi went to the kitchen to eat noodles and then set off.
Wen Xi lay down to rest. She really didn't have any strength right now. She felt that being in a relationship was really tough. It was better to be alone, so that nothing could hurt her.
In a daze, Wen Xi felt a hand on her forehead. She opened her eyes blankly and asked, "Brother Qin, didn't you go to work? Why are you back?"
"I didn't feel comfortable leaving you alone at home, so I left things to someone else to handle." Qin Mi helped Wen Xi up. "Xi, your head is a little hot. You have a fever. Take this fever reducer quickly."
He originally intended to go to work, but he was worried about leaving her alone at home, so he rushed back and found that she indeed had a fever. If he had only returned at noon, she must have suffered terribly during those few hours.
After giving Wenxi fever-reducing medicine, Qin Mi pulled her into his arms. Looking at her flushed face, Qin Mi felt a pang of heartache. "Xi..."
When Wenxi woke up from her nap, she was sweating and felt much clearer-headed. She turned her head and saw Qin Mi lying next to her, and was startled.
Qin Mi opened her eyes and saw that Wen Xi had woken up. She reached out and touched Wen Xi's forehead. "Your fever has gone down. Your clothes must be soaked with sweat. I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath."
His movements were so practiced, as if he had done it countless times before.
"Thank you, Brother Qin." Wen Xi was a little embarrassed, and she avoided looking at Qin Mi. How did she fall asleep in Qin Mi's arms? She wondered if Qin Mi would think too much about it.
Qin Mi was only leaning against the edge of the bed, not having taken off his clothes and lay in bed, so he took a long stride and got off the bed, leaving the bedroom directly. But he felt inexplicably happy, not just because Wen Xi's fever had subsided.
Wenxi sat on the bed, feeling extremely annoyed. How did she end up with a fever?
Isn't she always very rational?
Did He Chen'an's matter really have such a great impact on her?
Does she care about He Chen'an more than you think?
That's why he couldn't accept He Chen'an's betrayal at all?
The matter is in the past. The woman is already pregnant and will probably get married soon. She should let go of all of this.
Qin Mi quickly heated the bathwater, came in and took some thermal underwear for Wenxi, and told her to take a bath. Wenxi had just sweated and her thermal underwear was all wet, so she only needed to change her thermal underwear.
Wenxi was still a little dizzy, but after taking a hot shower, she felt refreshed. Qin Mi's thermal underwear was very long, so she had to roll up the sleeves and pant legs.
Looking at the men's thermal underwear, Wen Xi felt extremely embarrassed, but she had no choice but to wear it like this. After all, Qin Mi had already seen what was in her basket, and she couldn't just conjure up thermal underwear out of thin air, could she?
Wen Xi went into the system's kitchen to wash up and also washed and dried her hair. After all, she had just had a fever and was sweating, so her hair was full of sweat. If she didn't wash it clean, the wind would make her sicker.
