Xu Zhengxi was actually extremely tired. Including tonight, he hadn't slept for two days and two nights.
But her body was immediately aroused by Xu Zhe, enough to satisfy her great interest.
But her eyelids were so heavy that she lay on the bed holding Xu Zhe's slender waist to keep her from falling, but her own eyelids couldn't hold on and closed.
I had only closed my eyes for a few seconds when I was woken up again by a forceful jolt of dissatisfaction.
Xu Zhengxi smiled and quickly explained, "I didn't sleep."
"You're not allowed to close your eyes!"
He laughed again, his little girl was getting more and more domineering.
"Is it because of your age that you're not as strong as you used to be, brother?" Xu Zhe could clearly sense that he was putting on a brave face this time.
Age? Loss of strength? Brother?! One sentence provoked him three times!
Xu Zhengxi took a deep breath, grabbed her with his large hand, and suddenly flipped her over, pinning her to the bed.
Xu Zhe let out a soft cry, beginning to regret her careless outburst that had angered Xu Zhengxi; she was the one who would have to learn a lesson!
She quickly admitted defeat and begged for forgiveness, but before she could even utter a word, she felt a weight on her.
Xu Zhengxi buried his head in her shoulder, his entire weight pressing down on her.
"Zheng, Xi?" she called to him.
"Zhengxi?" She nudged him.
"Zhengxi!"
Xu Zhe's scalp tingled instantly, and his bare back was soaked with sweat in no time.
She quickly pushed the person off her and to her side, but saw that Xu Zhengxi's eyes were closed and he didn't move no matter how she patted him or shouted.
"Doctor!" She reached out with trembling hands and pressed the call bell repeatedly, pounding it hard.
As dawn broke, the Xu residence was brightly lit, and the people inside were working in an orderly manner, but their steps and expressions showed anxiety and worry.
The young master's sudden collapse was a devastating blow to the entire Xu family. He was their everything; his health was failing them, and their world seemed to crumble!
"Doctor, what's wrong with Zhengxi? Does he need to be taken to the hospital?" Pei Li rushed over as soon as he heard the commotion.
The wolf cub that was showing off its claws in front of him last night is now unconscious, and he almost had a heart attack!
"No need to go to the hospital." The family doctor took off his stethoscope.
"How could someone suddenly faint?" Pei Li frowned deeply. Zheng Xi was not even thirty years old and looked strong and healthy. How could he suddenly faint?
Doctor: "Based on the examination results, it's due to overwork and severe physical exhaustion."
She glanced at Xu Zhe sitting on the edge of the bed and said, "Xu XX has been working very hard lately. Si Kangzhu said that he sleeps less than four hours a day, and this time he hasn't slept for two days and two nights in a row."
Xu Zhe finally looked away from Xu Zhengxi and stared blankly at the doctor.
Less than four hours of sleep a day? Two days and two nights without closing his eyes?! He came all the way from the Northwest Province to see her, and he even clung to her...
Xu Zhe was filled with regret. How could she not have noticed that he was already at his limit? No, she clearly saw him close his eyes because he couldn't hold on any longer, yet she forced him...
She deserves to die!
"Make sure Xu XX gets enough sleep, and doesn't overdo it..."
The doctor omitted the word "sexual intercourse," as he couldn't be too direct in front of so many people, but his eyes remained fixed on Xu Zhe, hoping she would understand.
Xu Zhe understood, as did everyone else present: Pei Li, his aunt, and Butler Zhou.
Pei Li glared at Xu Zhe with great dissatisfaction. These days, kids should be studying, why aren't they studying properly and instead they're wasting Xu Zhengxi's time?!
Her aunt, however, was much kinder. She came over, patted Xu Zhe on the shoulder, and comforted her, saying that Zheng Xi was alright.
Butler Zhou then went to the doctor to discuss the subsequent dietary therapy plan.
Xu Zhe, Pei Li, and his aunt stayed by Xu Zhengxi's side, watching the IV drip slowly flow into his veins. His face, though pale and handsome, made him appear even thinner.
The three of them were in a bad mood until Pei Xun arrived.
"What's wrong with Zhengxi?" Pei Xun went to check on the person on the bed as soon as he came in.
"I came over as soon as I saw his message this morning. Didn't he ask me to come and support Pei Yun? How come he's the one who collapsed?!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Li glared at the unconscious Xu Zhengxi. "You even brought people to take sides? Are you trying to make things even more chaotic?!"
Aunt Pei Xun nodded gratefully. No matter what, he and Zheng Xi were there to support her daughter. His words of support touched her deeply.
“You brat, you’re not resting properly, you’re exhausted,” Pei Li replied.
"Oh?" Pei Xun raised an eyebrow, turning his gaze to Xu Zhe. "I heard that you fainted from exhaustion in bed?"
Xu Zhe's face instantly burned, and he didn't dare to lift his head.
Auntie glared at Pei Xun. "He's such a shy kid, why are you teasing him?!" But she really did envy the young couple's love.
Pei Xun didn't care. He just liked to joke with the younger generation: "Xu Zhe, be more careful in the future. Zheng Xi is ten years older than you. He's not a hot-blooded twenty-year-old."
Xu Zhe desperately wanted to die, and she vowed never to do it again!
"What hot-blooded brat?" The person who had been silent on the bed finally spoke.
Everyone crowded around.
"Zhengxi!" Xu Zhe touched his forehead and then his face.
Xu Zhengxi grabbed her hand: "I'm fine."
"How can you say nothing's wrong?!" Pei Li couldn't help but scold him, "You can't sleep more than a few hours a day in the Northwest Province, do you want to die sooner?!"
He was truly furious. The brat was wasting his body because he was young; sooner or later, he would ruin himself!
"It's just a phase of being busy; it's not like this all the time," Xu Zhengxi explained, afraid that Xu Zhe would worry.
"A phase?! How many things have I given you time to slow down? Don't jump into things so recklessly! Fighting this and that! You've even gotten Jiang XX's granddaughter involved! Who do you plan to fight next?!"
Pei Li yelled at people again. Lately, his emotions have been out of control, probably because his closest relatives are becoming increasingly uncontrollable, making him irritable and prone to outbursts of anger.
His aunt pulled him away: "Zhengxi just woke up, why are you yelling at him?! Don't take your anger out on him!"
"Brother, don't scold him too much, or the kid will pass out again, and you'll regret it!"
Pei Xun knew that his older brother, like his father, regarded Xu Zhengxi as his successor. He was very strict with him, but he was actually worried about his health. Concern can cloud judgment.
Pei Li took a few deep breaths before he managed to stop cursing.
“Let’s go, big brother, let’s go have breakfast. I came here as soon as I saw Zhengxi’s message this morning, and I haven’t eaten anything.” Pei Xun grabbed Pei Li’s arm.
He didn't forget to call out to his sister-in-law, "It's rare for the whole family to have a reunion breakfast outside of holidays. After we finish eating, we're waiting for Pei Yun to bring his girlfriend over!"
Xu Zhe was stunned: "Pei Yun? Girlfriend?"
"Uncle, you're mistaken, it's a man..." Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zhengxi stopped her.
"Hmph!" Pei Li was the first to be unhappy, and he left with his hands behind his back and a dark face.
My aunt sighed and followed behind.
Pei Li smiled helplessly: "Zhengxi, Xiaozhe, you two can eat in the room."
"Xiao Zhe, you can only eat breakfast. As for the rest, you understand!"
After saying that, he went to chase after his brother and sister-in-law.
