A dark figure emerged from behind the tree, watched the two figures walk away hand in hand, touched his slightly aching arm, and then left.
In the courtyard, Su Ruanruan placed Mu Bai on the bed, took off his outer robe, and wiped his palms and soles with clean water.
She then placed a white handkerchief on his forehead, tucked him in, and went into the kitchen to prepare the medicine.
When she appeared at the bedside with a bowl of medicine, Mu Bai fell into a coma once again.
The situation wasn't so bad originally, but he already had a fever, and then he went out under these circumstances. If the wind from the wind entered his body, he was probably destined to have a restless night.
Once the medicine was warm, Su Ruanruan helped him sit up and leaned him against her, feeding him the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
Su Ruanruan lay beside him, keeping a close eye on his condition. In the latter half of the night, Mu Bai's burning forehead gradually cooled down, and his body also cooled down.
He hugged his arms tightly, trembling all over.
Su Ruanruan tucked the blanket around him again, but he was still shivering and muttering that he was cold.
She then covered his blanket with her own.
They boiled some more hot water and used it to wipe his forehead and cheeks.
After all that commotion, the person on the bed finally stopped breathing heavily and stopped moving around.
But the good weather didn't last long. In less than half an hour, Mu Bai's face turned even paler, and his skin felt icy cold to the touch.
Two blankets were draped over him, but he was still very cold.
Su Ruanruan searched through the chests and cabinets for a while, but couldn't find any extra bedding.
She reached her hand under the covers and touched Mu Bai's hand, but it was still cold.
Sitting cross-legged on the inside of the bed, holding Mu Bai's hand, Su Ruanruan lowered her eyes.
After a long while, she lifted the blanket off Mu Bai, removed the restraints from his body, leaving him only in his underpants, and then covered him with the two blankets again.
Then she stretched out her slender fingers and gently loosened the sash on her clothes.
Her clothes fell to the ground, and with a flick of her wrist, she slipped into the covers.
She nestled obediently in Mu Bai's arms, their fingers intertwined.
The slightly cool touch made Su Ruanruan shiver.
But she remained motionless against the ice jade until she felt the ice and snow on her body begin to melt and the chill gradually dissipate...
Sleepiness washed over her, and Su Ruanruan closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Only the sound of the candle flame exploding remained.
At dawn, a ray of light shone through the window of the coffin.
Su Ruanruan's long, thick eyelashes trembled, but she did not open her eyes.
She nestled in Mu Bai's arms with a smile on her lips.
Mu Bai's heart was beating very fast, and it had already lost its rhythm.
She had already woken up and could clearly feel Mu Bai's "torture".
She wanted to see how long he could keep pretending to be asleep.
Mu Bai was indeed awake, staring blankly at the bed curtains.
It felt like being in a dream.
He was delirious with fever last night and called out to her several times, but received no response from Ruan Ruan.
They searched the entire house but couldn't find her.
It's so late, where could a girl like Ruan Ruan go all by herself?
He put on his clothes, picked up a lantern, and went out to search.
But on the way, they met Ruan Ruan who mentioned the medicine packet.
He only remembered that they went back to the courtyard together, and after that he couldn't remember anything else.
But why did he and Ruan Ruan sleep almost naked?
What exactly happened last night?
Mu Bai was filled with remorse. Could it be that he had done that kind of thing to Ruan Ruan when he was out of his mind?
His body was tense, his lips trembling, but he didn't know what to say.
He was afraid that Ruan Ruan would wake up, be angry with him, and never talk to him again.
Moreover, her soft, warm body was pressed tightly against him, and he couldn't describe what that feeling was like.
My whole body felt uncontrollably hot, as if a hungry, trapped beast was crouching inside me.
It gradually awakened, swallowing up all his sense of propriety, morality, and shame.
This feeling is like being gnawed by countless ants, extremely painful.
Sensing Mu Bai's unease, Su Ruanruan's soft, boneless little hand circled around, her fingertips gently stroking Mu Bai's chest, then slowly moving down, finally stopping at his lower abdomen.
Su Ruanruan lay in Mu Bai's arms, raised her chin, and looked up with her almond-shaped eyes filled with stars, asking softly, "Brother Mu Bai, are you feeling better?"
Mu Bai bit her lip tightly, her fair cheeks flushed red.
At this point, he could no longer pretend.
"Soft, soft, I...I feel better."
"Are you really feeling better? But I still think Brother Mu Bai has a bit of a fever."
Mu Bai grabbed Su Ruanruan's hand, which was fanning the flames, his voice hoarse.
"Ruanruan, you're teasing me again. If you keep acting like this... I don't know how long I can remain calm. Please don't move again..."
"Although I am ill, I am still a normal man, and I cannot remain unmoved by a woman in my lap..."
"Ruanruan, what exactly happened last night? We..."
Su Ruanruan curled her lips and suddenly leaned in.
Looking down at Mu Bai, who exuded a foolish air, from his high vantage point.
Su Ruanruan smiled slyly, her lips slowly approaching Mu Bai's reddened ear.
"Brother Mu Bai, if I continue like this... what will you do?"
Mu Bai's heart pounded wildly, his cheeks burned, and his heart felt like it was being fried in a pan of oil.
His throat bobbed, unsure how to answer Su Ruanruan's question.
"I……"
Su Ruanruan stared at him intently, a glint of excitement gradually appearing in her eyes.
She leaned down, her cherry-like, moist lips approaching Mu Bai's slightly pale lips.
However, just as this warm breath was about to envelop the two of them, Mu Bai suddenly turned his head away.
"Ruanruan, no, I'm still sick, be careful not to infect you."
Su Ruanruan stretched out her hands and straightened his cheeks.
Let Mu Bai's handsome features face him directly.
She even saw her own smooth reflection in his dark eyes.
Su Ruanruan smiled slightly, and Mu Bai, gazing at the face he admired, felt his heart flutter even more.
All that could be heard was Su Ruanruan's clear, melodious voice, "Brother Mu Bai, I want you."
Mu Bai's gaze met Su Ruanruan's, and an ambiguous atmosphere immediately made Mu Bai's breath catch in his throat.
Su Ruanruan smiled and cupped Mu Bai's cheeks.
He lowered his head and gently pecked at Mu Bai's soft lips.
Gently lingering and caressing his lips...
