Chapter 24 Second Master Feed Me
"Grandpa, grandma." Jiang Zhaoyue murmured softly.
Pei Jingzhou didn't hear clearly and asked softly, "What did you say?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said vaguely: "...uncomfortable...I feel uncomfortable..."
Pei Jingzhou leaned forward involuntarily and soothed her gently, "Be patient, the medicine will come."
Jiang Zhaoyue continued to murmur: "Grandpa... Grandma..."
"What?" Pei Jingzhou moved closer.
"Grandpa... Grandma... I miss you so much..." As she spoke, Jiang Zhaoyue's tears rolled down in strings like a broken bead curtain, all falling on Pei Jingzhou's sleeves, soaking half of his sleeves.
Pei Jingzhou felt the warmth of her tears and understood what she said. She missed her grandparents.
When people are vulnerable, they always miss the ones they love the most.
Most people miss their mother and father.
But she was raised by her grandparents, so naturally she missed them.
It's just that her grandfather and grandmother have passed away.
He reached out and gently stroked her head to comfort her.
Jiang Zhaoyue is a hard-hearted person. No matter what dark or cruel things he sees, he can pretend to be calm and not change his expression. But he cannot bear to see warm and cozy things. He cannot help crying when he sees them.
Now I felt a faint warmth and burst into tears.
This was the first time Pei Jingzhou treated a little girl so gently.
Unexpectedly, the little girl cried even harder.
He immediately frantically coaxed her: "Don't cry."
Jiang Zhaoyue kept crying.
Pei Jingzhou continued to coax: "It will be fine in a while."
Jiang Zhaoyue closed her eyes and cried.
Pei Jingzhou continued, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a cold, it will be better soon."
Xiang Qiao came in with a bowl of medicine and saw Pei Jingzhou lying on the edge of the bed, comforting the crying Jiang Zhaoyue.
Is this still the cold, noble and serious Second Master?
She couldn't help but be stunned.
Pei Jingzhou noticed someone coming in and asked without turning around, "Is the medicine ready?"
"Yes." Xiangqiao responded quickly.
"Serve it up."
Xiangqiao hurried forward.
Pei Jingzhou held Jiang Zhaoyue in his arms: "The medicine is here, you will be fine after taking it."
Jiang Zhaoyue was still crying.
Xiangqiao didn't know what to do.
Pei Jingzhou wiped Jiang Zhaoyue's tears carelessly and said, "Give her the medicine."
Xiangqiao held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, scooped a spoonful and brought it to Jiang Zhaoyue's mouth.
Jiang Zhaoyue took a sip and felt unbearable bitterness. She buried her little face in Pei Jingzhou's arms, resisting the second sip.
Pei Jingzhou said gently, "Good medicine tastes bitter, but after drinking it, the cold and pain will go away."
Jiang Zhaoyue listened to what he was saying in a daze, and obediently opened his mouth and drank the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
Pei Jingzhou chuckled: "You also have your good moments..."
Xiangqiao couldn't help but stop.
"I'm not talking to you. Just keep feeding you the medicine." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Yes." Xiangqiao finished feeding a bowl of medicine with sweat all over her forehead.
"Go down." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Yes." Xiangqiao hurried downstairs.
Pei Jingzhou put Jiang Zhaoyue on the bed, tucked the quilt for her, and prepared to leave.
Jiang Zhaoyue held his arm tightly.
This person... is really clingy sometimes. Pei Jingzhou said helplessly: "I'm covered in mud and medicine. I'll go wash it, change clothes and come back to accompany you."
Jiang Zhaoyue let go.
Pei Jingzhou was worried that she would not sleep well and her cold would get worse, so he took a quick shower and hurried back to the bed, only to see that she was still curled up in a ball.
As soon as he sat down on the bed, she leaned over immediately as if she sensed warmth.
It was getting dark.
He went to bed and let her snuggle into his arms like a kitten. He looked down and saw that her cheeks were still red, her brows were still furrowed, and her eyes were still closed. She looked very painful.
He put his arms around her, hoping to keep her warm.
This was the first time he actually took the initiative to hug her.
A person who usually looks so arrogant and lawless is actually so delicate, so soft, and so fragile.
In fact, she has always been like this.
Although he seemed to be spoiled when he grew up, he was actually ostracized by everyone in the Chengning Marquis's Mansion.
Although he seems arrogant and overbearing, he actually did not do anything bad in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
He seems selfish, but when he sees someone jumping into the lake, he immediately goes to rescue them.
…
So he misunderstood her again and again.
This time, just because she was in a bad mood when she woke up and said a few unpleasant words, he got angry, disappointed, and wanted to give up on her... This is really not what a husband should do.
He felt a wave of guilt in his heart and looked down at her face.
Maybe the medicine took effect, the soreness and coldness in Jiang Zhaoyue's body slowly dissipated, she felt much more comfortable, her frown gradually relaxed, and she lay in Pei Jingzhou's arms, acting very obediently.
Pei Jingzhou reached out and touched her forehead. Feeling the heat gradually fade away, he let out a long breath.
"Second Master." Yingge's voice sounded outside.
"What's the matter?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"It's time for dinner."
Pei Jingzhou glanced at the sleeping Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "No need."
"But the Second Master hasn't eaten yet."
"No need, you can go down."
"Yes." Yingge responded from outside.
Pei Jingzhou extinguished the candle, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep early. He woke up before the hour of Mao, but he did not open his eyes. He subconsciously reached out to touch Jiang Zhaoyue's forehead.
"The fever has subsided." Jiang Zhaoyue's voice rang out.
Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes immediately and saw Jiang Zhaoyue lying on his chest with a smile on her face, like a cunning kitten.
"Second Master is awake?" Jiang Zhaoyue's voice was sweet.
Pei Jingzhou was surprised: "You..."
"I'm fine." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Not cold anymore?"
"Not cold." Jiang Zhaoyue shook her head slightly.
"You don't feel any pain anymore?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Jiang Zhaoyue said seriously, "Second Master, thank you."
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Thank me for what?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "Thank you for caring about me, comforting me, and taking care of me last night."
"You know everything?" Pei Jingzhou was surprised.
"Yes." When Jiang Zhaoyue had a fever, his consciousness was blurred and his heart was fragile. He missed his grandparents from his previous life, cried out that he was cold, cried out in pain, and all of his tears were true expressions of his emotions.
She has always believed that if you have negative emotions and feelings, you should say them out, write them down, and express them without the need for an audience.
What I didn’t expect was——
Pei Jingzhou responded to every time she felt cold, painful, or cried.
This was the first time she met someone who responded to every word she said since her grandparents passed away.
Her heart ached and she couldn't help crying out loud, hugging Pei Jingzhou tightly.
Pei Jingzhou thought she was delirious due to the fever, but...
"Second Master, you took the initiative to hug me." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou immediately tried to take back his hand that was on Jiang Zhaoyue's waist.
Jiang Zhaoyue grabbed it and said, "Don't take it back."
"Stop it."
"Just make trouble." Jiang Zhaoyue twisted her body.
"Do not move."
"Just move, just move."
"Be careful not to catch a cold!" Pei Jingzhou hugged Jiang Zhaoyue tightly.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled: "Second Master, you care about me? I'm so happy."
Pei Jingzhou stared at her and said helplessly: "You are still cute when you are sick."
"Then I'll just catch a cold again." Jiang Zhaoyue reached out to lift the quilt.
"Stop making trouble." Pei Jingzhou held Jiang Zhaoyue's restless body with his arms.
Jiang Zhaoyue wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhou's neck and moved closer to him: "Okay, I won't make trouble."
Even though the bedroom was dim, Pei Jingzhou could still see the light in her almond-shaped eyes, like stars in the sky. For the first time, he thought her eyes were really beautiful.
A "gurgle" sound was heard in the quiet bedroom.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately said, "Second Master, your stomach is growling."
Pei Jingzhou's face darkened: "It's your stomach growling."
"your."
"your."
"your!"
Pei Jingzhou didn't argue with her about this issue, but asked instead: "Get up and eat?"
"Second Master, please feed me, okay?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked with blinking eyes.
