Chapter 62: Do You Have a Fever?
....Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. How did he know that she was not feeling well? Did the butler tell him?
While she was still in a daze, Qi Shenbai had already grabbed her shoulders and led her into the house. He asked with concern, “Do you have a fever?”
“I don’t think so…” Before Xu Jiaojiao could finish her sentence, the man’s palm was already on her forehead. Her breathing suddenly stopped. The place where his palm touched seemed to be scalding.
She was so scared that she did not dare to touch Qi Shenbai. After testing her temperature, he touched his forehead and frowned. “Don’t you know you’re burning up? Butler, bring the thermometer over.”
The butler jogged to get the first aid kit.
Qi Shenbai brought Xu Jiaojiao back to the living room and sat her down. Seeing that her face was getting redder and redder, he could not help but worry. The butler quickly returned with the medicine box and handed the thermometer to him.
Qi Shenbai shook the thermometer twice. When he reached out to hand it to her, he paused. “…Put it under your armpit for five minutes.”
Xu Jiaojiao obediently took the thermometer from his hand. She was wearing an orange-yellow sweater today. The collar was tight, so her hand could not reach in. She could only stuff it under the hem.
When the hem of her clothes was lifted, a small part of her delicate and fair skin was revealed. Qi Shenbai accidentally caught a glimpse of her body and quickly averted his gaze. However, his eyes gradually darkened in a place that no one could see.
“Don’t cook anything too fancy tonight. Just make it light and refreshing,” Qi Shenbai said to the butler.
The butler nodded and went to the kitchen to inform the chef.
Only Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai were left in the huge living room. Neither of them spoke first. The sun was setting outside the window, and the lights in the room made her face look even paler. The setting sun covered her delicate face, and her palm-sized face looked haggard.
Qi Shenbai unconsciously frowned. Why was she getting thinner and thinner?
Xu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes. That burning gaze kept falling on her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Her gaze fell on the clock on the wall, staring at it without blinking.
When the time was up, Xu Jiaojiao could not wait to take out the thermometer. Perhaps she was too nervous or something , but she subconsciously raised her hand and the thermometer rolled into her clothes.
Xu Jiaojiao fumbled around in a flurry. Suddenly, a large palm grabbed her waist.
Xu Jiaojiao’s body stiffened when the hot palm pressed against her waist. A hint of panic flashed across her dark pupils.
“I’ll do it.” Qi Shenbai’s deep voice rang in her ears. His hand went up her waist. Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously straightened her back, her body as stiff as ice.
Her thin layer of clothes could not fend off the warmth of his palm. His fingertips moved along the curve of her back. Xu Jiaojiao could not help but bite her lips lightly, and her body trembled slightly.
The tingling sensation that rose from her back spread throughout her entire body, and all her hairs rose, making her feel embarrassed.
Qi Shenbai’s hand paused and pinched the clothes on her back. “Found it.”
Before Xu Jiaojiao could react, he said, “Don’t move. I’ll help you take it out.”
The moment he finished speaking, a touch of coldness landed on her skin.
Xu Jiaojiao’s ears instantly turned red. In the next second, Qi Shenbai withdrew his hand with the thermometer and glanced at the temperature on it. There was no emotion on his face.
Xu Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief. The blush on her face coupled with her small actions made her look cute.
Qi Shenbai raised his eyebrows. “Are you very nervous?”
His black eyes were dark, his thin lips were light, and his tone carried a hint of mischief.
It was not that he did not feel Xu Jiaojiao’s trembling body, but he was not sure if he was the cause for them.
“N-No.” Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly shook her head.
“Then why are you blushing?”
“Because of my fever!” Xu Jiaojiao raised her voice unconsciously. “Aren’t I having a fever? Turning red is normal.”
Qi Shenbai chuckled and nodded slightly. “You do have a low fever. Take some fever medicine later.”
“Okay,” Xu Jiaojiao replied in a low and muffled voice, secretly relieved.
She would never admit that she was shy because she had so gotten close to him!
Qi Shenbai glanced at her, got up, and went to the cabinet next to him, where he took out some medicine. There were four pills in total, two anti-inflammatory and two for fever.
Xu Jiaojiao frowned subconsciously, and he caught her subtle movements. He poured her some water and asked, “Afraid of taking medicine?”
“No, I’m not.” Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. She took the medicine from the hand and swallowed it without blinking.
She gulped down the large glass of water and said, “1 don’t even need to drink water for just these few pills.
“In the past, when I took medicine, I could swallow more than ten pills without blinking..”
