Yun Zhao and Yun Xu had no choice but to ask Xie Jing to stay with Zhou Jiyun. They took good care of him all night, changing ice packs and rubbing his body until dawn, finally bringing down the raging fever.
Yun Xu exaggeratedly said, "The most meticulous and considerate time in my life was last night."
Zhou Jiyun leaned against the pillow and said weakly, "Sorry to bother Brother Zhao and Brother Xu. I'm fine now. You guys can go back and rest too."
Yun Xu touched his forehead and said, "Okay, then Ah Zhao and I will go back and rest. It's not easy. It's been weighing on my heart for so many years. Well, rest well."
He pushed Yun Zhao's back, and soon they left the master bedroom. Xie Jing knelt on the quilt, leaned forward slightly, and hugged Zhou Jiyun: "Are you okay?"
Zhou Jiyun's face was pale, but he embraced Xie Jing in his arms without hesitation: "I'm feeling fine. The high fever seems to have taken away most of the depression in my heart. I'm feeling better now."
"Don't worry, I'll get better soon."
Xie Jing touched his hair. Because of the high fever, Zhou Jiyun's forehead was covered with sweat, and now it felt sweaty when she touched it. She looked up at Zhou Jiyun and said, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Don't be impatient."
Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes to look at her: "It's not that I'm anxious, I just don't want you to worry about me. Since we got married, you have always been frightened by me. Now that I'm like this, I still need you to take care of me. I feel like I owe you."
Xie Jing stuffed his hand back into the quilt: "I understand. Love is always a feeling of indebtedness. I really don't think being with you is hard. It's not being able to be in harmony with each other that's the most painful. We're like fighting monsters together, united against the outside world. I think it's great."
"You are very good, and you are really good to me. If I were sick, you would definitely take care of me in the same way..."
"Don't say such unlucky things," Zhou Jiyun hugged Xie Jing and lay down in the quilt. "Who wants to get sick? I understand what you mean. Husband and wife don't need to be so formal. They should take care of each other. I understand. I won't say that next time."
Xie Jing's lips curled up: "It's good that you really understand. Love, after all, is not about one party giving selflessly all the time. There is always give and take."
"Your pajamas are soaked. Can I wipe you down and then change you into dry pajamas?"
Seeing Zhou Jiyun about to retort, Xie Jing glared at him, which was rare: "You are not allowed to take a bath now. If your high fever is completely gone by noon, it won't be too late to take a bath then."
Zhou Jiyun found it fresh. Xie Jing rarely gave him a cold shoulder, but he had to admit that Zhou Jiyun... really liked the feeling of being disciplined and restricted.
So he rubbed Xie Jing's forehead and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xie Jing was also in a good mood. She stroked Zhou Jiyun's hair and said, "Wait, I'll go get some hot water."
By the time she had taken care of Zhou Jiyun, wiping him down and changing his clothes, it was already six in the morning. Xie Jing couldn't stand it any longer, so she yawned and automatically slipped into Zhou Jiyun's arms. Soon, the sound of her long breathing filled the bedroom.
Yun Zhao was worried and came over to check on Xie Jing at seven o'clock. At that time, Xie Jing was sleeping soundly. Zhou Jiyun, who was a light sleeper, opened his eyes the moment Yun Zhao came in.
Yun Zhao glanced at Xie Jing, whose head was buried in Zhou Jiyun's shoulder, and then at Zhou Jiyun, whose face had turned slightly redder, and his worries were relieved. "Are you feeling better?"
Zhou Jiyun said angrily, "Well, I just took the test, it's 36.7 degrees. Jingjing, on the other hand, hasn't slept all night. I'll sleep with her for a while."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Aunt Li to make a lighter breakfast. You two should get some rest, or maybe you can skip going to the company today?"
Zhou Jiyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in the afternoon. It won't delay things."
"Okay, then I'll go out first. Breakfast..." Yun Zhao asked again in a low voice. After all, he was his brother-in-law, and the family always had to care about him.
Zhou Jiyun: "I'll be out in a moment, sorry to bother Brother Zhao."
The two of them talked in a low voice for a few words, but Xie Jing didn't hear a word. She even leaned deeper into the quilt, and her whole body was completely embedded in Zhou Jiyun's arms.
Zhou Jiyun raised his hand and rubbed the back of her head. Seeing that he was about to kiss her, Yun Zhao tactfully left the room.
To be honest, the heartfelt relationship between Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun is really enviable. But Yun Zhao also has his own ideas. Every couple or married couple in the world has a different way of getting along.
It cannot be applied to every couple, but as long as both parties accept it, that's enough.
When I came out of the master bedroom, Aunt Li also came over from the opposite door: "Master Yun Zhao, you are up so early?"
Yun Zhao nodded. "I didn't sleep much last night. Jiyun had a fever, and Yun Xu and I took care of him all night. Aunt Li, could you please make something light today?"
Li Ma's focus wasn't on Zhou Jiyun. "Didn't the young lady stay with you all night? I have to make her some delicious food to nourish her body..."
Yun Zhao smiled and shook his head. Even though he hadn't spent much time with Li Ma, he could tell that she truly favored Xie Jing. As for Zhou Jiyun and the others, they were just incidental.
But I have to say that they are happy in their hearts that someone cares so much about Xie Jing.
"Okay, I'll go out for a run and clear my head." Yun Zhao didn't say much, grabbed a towel, and went to the community for morning exercise. He had been treated by Zhu Li for more than two weeks, and Yun Zhao felt that his body had recovered a lot.
Now he has also started to train more, hoping to return to his former peak state as soon as possible.
Zhou Jiyun naturally went to the restaurant for breakfast. When he arrived, Aunt Li came out with white porridge and steamed buns: "Good morning, son-in-law."
After putting down the plate, Li Ma looked at Zhou Jiyun's face again and asked, "How are you feeling, son-in-law?"
Zhou Jiyun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking it was unprecedented. This was the first time he'd seen Li Ma care about him, but he also knew that Li Ma loved him and loved everyone in her. So he quickly smiled and said, "I'm much better now. I don't have a fever anymore. Thank you for your concern."
A smile spread across Li Ma's round face. "It's good that the fever has subsided. I'll make a bowl of nourishing soup for my son-in-law for lunch..."
Yun Zhao couldn't help laughing after returning from exercise. It was hard to say whether this health-promoting soup was for Xie Jing or Zhou Jiyun.
While eating breakfast, there was a call from the old house. Zhou Jiyun saw the call from Butler Zhong and his hand paused, but he finally picked up the phone and turned on the hands-free mode.
Anyway, he had no reason to hide since he was surrounded by close family members. Besides, who among those around him didn't know about the Zhou family's troubles?
Yunxu's ears pricked up quietly, and he heard a very tired voice on the other end of the phone: "Jiyun, do you have time to come back to see your grandfather? Your grandfather is sick and hasn't eaten since yesterday. I'm worried that if this continues, he won't be able to bear it."
