Jing Li bent down obediently and was hugged by Qin Zhao.
"I'm fine." Qin Zhao said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine soon."
Jing Li hummed softly.
He knew it was just typhoid fever, which in modern times would be no more than the flu. Although it was difficult to cure in this era, there were ways to treat it.
But seeing Qin Zhao's high fever persisting, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Because this once again reminded him that Qin Zhao's body was far less healthy than that of ordinary people.
First he was poisoned, and then he was harmed by the medicine. Even after recovering now, he was still very weak, so weak that a small cold could knock him down.
Jing Li felt a slight sour taste in his nose.
He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down: "It's okay, just lie down for a while, I'll ask Ah Qi to make you breakfast and boil the medicine."
"Okay." Qin Zhao let go.
Jing Li got out of bed, took his coat from the hanger and put it on, then walked back to the bed: "Are you thirsty? The water is probably cold. I'll go to the kitchen to heat it up."
As he spoke, he lowered his head to pick up the teapot and teacup on the small table, but was stunned.
There was still half a cup of water left in the teacup. A small fish sank to the bottom of the water, looking up at him with its head tilted innocently.
Jing Li: “…”
"What's wrong?" Seeing Jing Li didn't move for a long time, Qin Zhao tilted his head and asked.
Jing Li handed the teacup to Qin Zhao with a sullen face: "It's okay, your son wants to help you have a snack, fish soup."
Qin Zhao saw clearly what was in the teacup: "......"
The little fish finally saw his father. He wagged his tail happily, fluttered out of the teacup, and landed in Qin Zhao's palm.
Over the past few days, they've gradually discovered that the little fish isn't as reliant on water as other fish. Perhaps because it's half human, this little creature can survive on land twice as long as Jing Li.
Fish are not afraid of dehydration, and humans are not afraid of drowning. They are truly amphibious.
However, this was the first time that the child took the initiative to transform back into a fish form after being able to transform into a human form.
Qin Zhao held the little fish that was jumping in his palm firmly, not daring to let him get too close. He asked, "Did you miss me?"
The fish cub rubbed Qin Zhao's fingers with its head.
Qin Zhao said: "But Daddy is sick and can't play with you for the time being."
The little fish stopped moving.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Zhao for a moment, and his fish fin gently touched Qin Zhao's fingertips, leaving a soft and cool touch.
"He feels sorry for you." Jing Li said.
Jing Li was not the only one who was worried about Qin Zhao. Yu Zai and Ah Qi were also worried because they were a family now.
"Yeah." Qin Zhao stroked the fish baby's head. "Daddy will be well soon, and then he'll take you to play in the snow, okay?"
The little fish cub gently wagged its tail, which was considered as its agreement.
Qin Zhao put him back into the teacup.
"This little guy... I don't know when he ran out." Qin Zhao didn't seem angry, but found it interesting instead.
Last night, it was clearly Ah Qi who was taking care of the little fish.
Anyone who could stay by his side as a shadow guard must have top-notch martial arts skills, but now, they can't even keep an eye on a child. Although Ah Qi didn't know the identity of the little fish, he was so young and he was able to escape without alerting the guards...
Qin Zhao looked at the little fish swimming around in the teacup and said with a smile, "This child... is very smart."
