Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 123 Care
When Zhou Wangshu woke up, he was soaking in the bathtub.

He was originally running a fever, but soaking in the water relieved much of the pain in his torn body.

He raised his eyes and saw Su Yaoguang's figure at a glance.

He covered his body and said in shame and anger, "Why are you here?"

Su Yaoguang turned around when she heard his voice, strode over, and said, "Awake? Are you feeling better now?"

"You...you don't avoid suspicion?"

Su Yaoguang stuffed a pill into his mouth and fed him some water: "Little brat, how old are you? Why do you think so much?"

"I'm only two years younger than you, how come I'm younger?" Zhou Wangshu was a little unconvinced.

"Don't even mention two years younger, even if it's just two days younger, it's still younger!" Su Yaoguang wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. "Let me ask you, how did you get yourself like this?"

Zhou Wangshu frowned. "The disease came on so suddenly and so violently. I didn't expect it to leave me with so little time to breathe."

"Where are the herbs I prepared for you?"

"The day I returned to the academy, I saw a few students fighting. When I was about to go back to my room, they rushed over and knocked over my luggage. The medicine fell into the well and sank." Zhou Wangshu leaned over, clutching his chest, and said uncomfortably, "It hurts so much. Will this medicine work?"

"Just be patient," Su Yaoguang said. "You've been taking a medicinal bath and just taken some pills. You need to expel the toxins from your body. Once you've expelled all the impurities, you'll be fine. I'll have someone notify Jiang Jing once you're well. Then I'll present the prescription to the government, and they'll arrange for doctors to treat the sick. It hasn't been tested yet, so no one would believe me if I presented it to you."

"Do you think of me as a drug tester?" Zhou Wangshu looked at her sadly.

"That's not the case..." Su Yaoguang pressed his shoulder. "Then someone has to try it before we can gain their trust!"

The slender fingers pressed on Zhou Wangshu's shoulders. The latter felt a little uncomfortable. He patted the back of her hand and said awkwardly, "It's not clear what men and women should do."

"This is the technique Jiang Jing taught me. I've only used it on my mother. Do you still dislike it? Forget it. It will save me some trouble." Su Yaoguang said, no longer looking at Zhou Wangshu, and continued to clean the room.

Zhou Wangshu would never forget what he'd been through in the past few days. Not to mention the uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea from his illness, the sheer stench of sweat from lying there for days, unable to move, was disgusting enough. Yet, she had actually helped him clean his room, leaving it so spotless. She'd even taken on the task of bathing him.

She is really...

Treat him as your younger brother.

Zhou Wangshu looked down at his body.

Although he was two years younger than her, he was much taller than her. Not only that, he was stronger and taller than the average man, and he looked like a mature man no matter how you looked at him.

"Is the water temperature okay?" Su Yaoguang asked as she stirred the porridge in the pot. "If it's cold, tell me and I'll add some water."

"You cook in your room?"

"The food in the kitchen is all the same. I ate two meals and I really didn't want to eat anymore, so I just made something I wanted to eat. You can only drink porridge, I made porridge for you."

Zhou Wangshu sniffed the air and smelled the scent of barbecue.

He looked at the table and saw a lot of grilled meat on the plates.

"I'm a patient, and you actually let me drink porridge while you eat barbecue alone." Just eat it, but you have to eat it in front of him, it's really cruel. Su Yaoguang listened to his aggrieved voice, smiled and pinched his cheek: "Why are you so cute?"

Zhou Wangshu covered his body and stared at her: "Are you a girl or not?"

A waiter's voice came from outside: "Miss Su, the vegetables you requested are here."

Su Yaoguang opened the door, took the basket handed to him by the waiter, and handed over two taels of silver.

The guy quickly declined: "Girl, you've given us enough these days."

"The rain hasn't stopped yet! Although I haven't been out, I know that the food can't be transported in. The price of food in the rice market must have increased again. You have a family too, so save some money to buy some food!"

"Thank you, girl. Thank you very much."

The servants in the academy were all on short-term contracts, working for as long as the headmaster assigned them. Generally speaking, they were sent back when work was light, and recruited again when more was available. Because they needed this work, it was common for the students to order them around, with only a few kind-hearted students being polite to them.

During this period, they worked day and night, and the labor they put in every day far exceeded their wages, but the people in the academy did not notice it and still felt that they were not doing well enough.

Su Yaoguang's kindness warmed the hearts of the guys, so they all liked to come to her place these days. Her generosity was one reason, but more importantly, they could be respected by her.

"By the way, Miss Su, the girl who came in with you that day was really bad at taking care of people. She was boiling medicine for Xiao Xuezi and the pot broke. She was cooking for Xiao Xuezi and the rice got burnt. She was cleaning the room and the situation got worse and worse. She wanted to find someone to help, but we were all so busy, how could we spare the time? She then went to look for the students who weren't sick, but the students didn't dare approach the sick at that time. Not to mention them, even those of us who were waiting around were staying away, for fear that we would catch the disease and infect them. That girl has been making a lot of jokes lately!"

"Where's Xiao Ci? How is he?"

"He..."

Zhou Wangshu coughed lightly: "The water is cold."

Su Yaoguang heard Zhou Wangshu's words and waved his hand: "Wait."

She hasn't finished listening to the drama on the other side!

Zhou Wangshu said aggrievedly, "The water is cold. I'm going to catch a cold."

Su Yaoguang turned around and glared at him: "You are the one who has too many things to do."

Zhou Wangshu: "...I have too much to do? I'm a patient."

What on earth is she doing here?
If she wanted to know Xiao Ci's situation so much, why didn't she go and take care of him instead of coming here?
Also, she kept saying that she hated Xiao Ci, so why did she pay so much attention to him? Didn't she think that her attention to Xiao Ci was a bit too much?
When Su Yaoguang heard that Jiang Yihuan and Xiao Ci were not doing well, her mood became very good.

She hummed a tune while adding water to Zhou Wangshu's drink and asked him with a smile, "How's the water temperature, Master?"

"good."

Su Yaoguang's gaze rested on the scars on Zhou Wangshu's body.

When she rescued him before, she found that he had many scars on his body. When she was making scar removal cream not long ago, she gave him several bottles, just wanting him to apply it on the scars on his body.

But judging by the depth of his scars, he hadn't used any scar creams at all. If he had, there wouldn't be no change at all.
