Wanruo's expression changed instantly: "I'm not going!"
Xie Xianyu's eyes turned cold, and he stared at her with an oppressive look.
Wan Ruo hurriedly made an excuse: "I'm afraid of passing my illness on to you. The doctor said my cold is easily contagious."
Xie Xianyu immediately pulled her out from under the quilt and held her horizontally.
Wanruo struggled and resisted: "I won't go! Let me go, I said I'm not going anywhere!"
He stopped and looked at her: "Do you want me to carry you over, or do you want me to find a sedan chair to carry you over?"
Wanruo's face was frozen.
If she was really carried there in a sedan chair, what would be the difference between that and taking a concubine?
Wanruo finally stopped struggling. Xie Xianyu glanced at Suyue coldly and said, "Go find a cloak."
Su Yue hurriedly responded: "Yes."
Then he went to the closet and took out a cloak and put it on Wanruo, wrapping her tightly and even putting on the hood.
Xie Xianyu simply carried her out. Wanruo quickly buried her head in his arms, her slender hands clutching his collar, not daring to move, only praying that the night would be darker so that no one could see her.
Xie Xianyu walked steadily and fast all the way, but Wanruo felt as if she was being fried in a frying pan. She could only bury her head in his arms, wishing she could crawl into a hole in the ground.
Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice came from above my head: "Stop rubbing."
Wanruo froze, noticing his body starting to heat up. Her face instantly turned even redder. This beast! How could he still be in heat when she was like this?!
The person in his arms was so stiff and motionless that Xie Xianyu let out a deep breath and strode back to Songhe Garden with her in his arms.
After returning to Songhe Garden and entering the bedroom, he put her on the bed.
Wanruo burrowed into the quilt.
He gave her a cold look. Guard against him? If he really wanted to do something, even with the quilt locked, it wouldn't work.
The little bit of anger that she had just aroused was almost dissipated by the cold wind on the way back. She was already in such a sick state, what else could he do?
It's not like he's really that hungry.
After a while, Cuizhu came in with the medicine.
Xie Xianyu took it and sat on the edge of the bed. He reached under the quilt with his left hand and ruffled her hair: "Drink the medicine first."
Wanruo pulled down the quilt, revealing her head. She looked at the bowl of medicine in his hand with a frown.
"How old are you? Are you still afraid of the bitter taste? Drink it quickly." Seeing her hesitation, he thought she didn't like taking medicine.
Wanruo knew she couldn't escape. With him staring at her right under her nose, it was impossible for her not to drink.
She could only sit up from the bed, hold the bowl with both hands and drink it with her head tilted back.
Xie Xianyu then said to Cuizhu, "Go get the plate of preserved fruit, and get the stove ready."
"yes."
Cuizhu immediately went to get a plate of candied fruit, and Qing'an also moved out the heater that had been put away long ago.
Xie Xianyu was not afraid of the cold. When he came back this time, it was already spring and the heater in the house had been removed long ago.
Xie Xianyu took a candied fruit and put it to her lips: "Hmm?"
Wanruo reluctantly took a bite. The sweet candied fruit spread on her tongue, but it couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Wanruo turned over. She really didn't have the energy to deal with him anymore.
Xie Xianyu didn't say anything else. He placed the plate of candied fruit on the small table beside the bed, took off his robe, got on the bed, and pulled her into his arms along with the quilt.
Wanruo struggled a bit: "Or I'd better go sleep somewhere else, I'm afraid that I'll get sick from you."
But he locked her tightly in his arms, preventing her from moving: "I'm not that hopeless."
Wanruo: “…”
She was already weak, and the medicine had a sleeping effect, so she fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
He lowered his eyes to look at her peaceful sleeping face, and felt more at ease. He tightened his arms around her a few times and lowered his head to place a light kiss on her forehead.
The next morning, Xie Xianyu touched her forehead again and found that it was no longer hot.
When Wanruo woke up, it was already noon. She turned over in bed, rubbed her eyes, and saw Xie Xianyu reading a book at the desk next to her.
"woke up?"
"Yeah." She lay on the bed and reached out to get the water on the small table next to her.
Xie Xianyu stood up and came over, putting the bowl of water to her mouth. She sat up from the bed, holding the bowl and drank.
"Do you feel better?"
Wanruo nodded, her voice still a little hoarse: "It's much better now."
