Shen Mo boiled a large pot of hot water in the east and west wing rooms, re-lit the large iron stove in the main hall, put in charcoal and burned it. Soon the whole room became warm.
He put the medicine pot on the stove and boiled medicine for her.
Lin Wanwan leaned against the door frame, looking at Shen Mo who was sitting on a small stool, with his long legs curled up and unable to stretch out, looking extremely pitiful.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't expect our Mr. Shen to be so caring!"
Shen Mo looked up at her and saw that she was barefoot on the ground. He turned around hurriedly and scolded her in a low voice: "Go back to your room! How can you walk barefoot on the ground!"
"Hmph! You little old-fashioned guy!" She pouted and muttered softly.
It's not that she didn't want to go back and lie down, but this heated kang was so hot that it burned her butt, how could she sleep? She felt hot just sitting on it!
Lin Wanwan sat on the quilt, knowing for sure that Shen Mo would not come in, so she quietly opened the window to get some fresh air.
The cold air, mixed with tiny bits of ice, instantly sobered her up a bit. She looked carefully and saw that it was snowing lightly! The sky was dim and dark, and it looked like the snow would not stop for a while and might get heavier.
She leaned against the window and watched for a while, and suddenly met the eyes of Shen Mo who was walking to the yard to fetch water...
She smiled stiffly at him, said hello, then quickly closed the window and hurriedly jumped down to close the door. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Shen Mo, who was emitting cold air.
Shen Mo held her up with his hand, stepped back a few steps and blocked the door, afraid that the cold air on his body would pass to her. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were sharp, making people feel a little breathless for no reason.
Lin Wanwan lowered her head like a primary school student who had made a mistake, and kept twisting her fingers.
"I, I'm just too hot, I want some fresh air... The kang you heated is too hot! I can't even sit down! If you don't believe me, feel it yourself!"
Shen Mo walked to the bedside expressionlessly, reached under the quilt and touched it. Tsk, it was indeed a little hot. At that time, he only wanted to heat it up and didn't pay attention to the degree...
A hint of regret flashed across his face, and he said to her apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. You should have told me earlier."
Lin Wanwan walked up to him with a smile and patted his shoulder.
"It's okay, I'm much better now!"
"Well, but you shouldn't open the window and turn on the air conditioner. What if your condition gets worse?"
"Oh! It's okay! I feel much better now!"
Shen Mo raised his hand and touched her forehead. Seeing that she didn't have a fever, he gave up. He went to the outer room and brought in the boiled medicine.
"It's not hot anymore, drink it now!"
Lin Wanwan looked at the black herbs, her little face wrinkled again, she took a few deep breaths, and finally, she mustered up her courage, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking it, she quickly stuffed the medicine bowl back to Shen Mo, covering her mouth and trying not to spit it out...
Is Shen Mo trying to poison her? The taste is too hard to describe! Why is it more bitter than Nan Xi's?
This is so hard, maybe I have endured it too much...
But Shen Mo didn't know that. On the contrary, he was very satisfied. He took the bowl and went to the kitchen.
Lin Wanwan spread another layer of quilt, took the medicine and prepared to sleep.
In a daze, she felt her body getting hotter and hotter, but she couldn't open her eyes. After a long time, her forehead gradually became cold, and she slowly felt much better.
After Shen Mo packed up his things and chopped the firewood, he pushed open the door to say hello to her before leaving, but he unexpectedly saw her sleeping with red cheeks.
He walked over gently and touched her forehead. Unexpectedly, she had a fever! So he quickly got a basin of warm water and put a towel on her forehead to cool her down.
After working for nearly an hour, he finally felt better. He went over there to call Nan Xi and the others and asked them to stay by his side and take care of him.
Lin Wanwan fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until midnight. Nanxi and Nanxing were dozing off beside her.
"Water... I want to drink water..."
Nan Xi was awakened by her, and quickly poured a cup of warm water, helped her up and fed her carefully.
"Are you hungry, girl? The food is warming up for you. Why don't you eat something first? You need to take medicine later!"
Lin Wanwan shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't eat anymore. Has Shen Mo left?"
"He left in the afternoon. Luckily, he found out that the girl had a fever, so he called us over to take care of her and asked for a doctor for her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have recovered tonight!"
"Well, thank him very much. It might be because I opened the window for some fresh air and was blown by the cold wind for a while, which caused the fever. It's okay, I'm much better now. It's cold outside, you two can go back and sleep here. The heated kang is large and can easily accommodate three people."
"Okay, girl, don't worry about us. Take the medicine and go to sleep. We won't go back tonight. We will stay here to watch over you."
"Well, that's good."
She drank the medicine in a daze and fell into a deep sleep again.
The next day, Lin Wanwan slept until she woke up naturally. She went downstairs to stretch her body, opened the door and saw that it was all white outside and snowflakes were floating in the sky.
Nan Xi came out of the kitchen with food in her hand. Seeing that Lin Wanwan had regained some energy, she smiled and said, "Are you awake, girl? Go wash your face and have breakfast. It's been snowing all night. Lin Jiu and the others will come over to clean up the snow in the yard later."
"Well, where's Xiaobai?"
"I went to the academy with Le An and the others to clean up. I think they will be back soon. It looks like they will have to take their New Year holiday early. It's really hard to stay in the academy in such a cold weather!"
"Well, I'll deal with him when I get better!"
Sure enough, when they were halfway through their meal, Xiaobai pushed the door open covered in snow. When he saw Lin Wanwan, he immediately flew forward.
"Sister, are you feeling better? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? We are on New Year's holiday, so we can stay at home and take care of you!"
