Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer couldn't bear to look at Li Chenbi's face. His expression was too painful. His originally pale face was flushed with an abnormal red due to the pain, and his forehead was covered with mud and cold sweat.

Fan Liuer didn't know how to alleviate his pain, so she could only hold his hands and keep comforting him.

"It will be ready soon."

"It will be ready soon."

Li Chenbi looked at her, his gaze somewhat unfocused. Although he was looking in her direction, his pupils were not focused, but his red-rimmed eyes still made Fan Liuer's heart tighten.

Just then, Feng Ji spoke up: "That's enough."

Fan Liuer quickly turned her head to look at Li Chenbi's leg. Feng Ji had already started putting a splint on his leg and called on Fan Liuer to help.

Fan Liuer immediately looked at Li Chenbi, wanting to tell him to let go first.

When I looked over, I met Li Chenbi's slowly closing eyes, and at the same time, the pressure on my hand slowly loosened.

This time, he really fainted.

Fan Liuer didn't have time to think about anything else. After putting Li Chenbi's hand down, she went to help Feng Ji fix the splint.

The process wasn't slow, but Fan Liuer was a little hesitant, afraid that she might accidentally hurt Li Chenbi.

After her leg was properly set and bandaged, Fan Liuer broke out in a light sweat, and her heart was pounding faster than if she had climbed two mountains.

The next steps were much simpler. Feng Ji cleaned Li Chenbi's wound, applied medicinal powder, and bandaged it up.

Li Chenbi remained unconscious throughout the entire process.

After treating the wound, Feng Ji instructed Fan Liuer on some precautions and then said, "For a wound like his, in addition to topical medication, it's best to also give him oral medication so that it will heal faster."

"Okay, I'll go to the clinic later and get some medicine. I'll say that my father fell into a trap set by someone while he was chopping wood on the mountain and was injured by an animal trap. Anyway, it's just a superficial injury, so it should be about the same."

Fan Liuer saw Feng Ji out, saying, "Brother Feng, thank you for your trouble."

"Why are you being so polite? We've known each other for six months, and I already consider you a girl."

Fan Liuer felt a warmth in her heart. At this moment, she was very glad that she had made the decision to seek refuge with Siqing, which made her have some people in the world that she could truly trust and rely on.

Feng Ji left, but Si Qing was still there. She held back for a long time, and only asked after Feng Ji left.

"Sister Liu'er, what exactly happened? How could Second Master..."

Fan Liuer sighed, "I don't know either. When I went to do laundry just now, I saw someone lying in the water. I thought it was someone's child in the water. Who would have thought it would be him?"

Siqing bit her lip. "If Second Master isn't dead, could it be... that he's here to arrest you?"

Fan Liuer glanced into the room and saw that Li Chenbi was lying on the bamboo bed, his body and legs wrapped in gauze, still unconscious. She sighed again.

"It doesn't look like it. Perhaps it fell into the water during a disaster and was swept here by chance."

Siqing thought about it and agreed. If they really came to capture Fan Liuer, why would they be in such a sorry state?

Thinking of this, Siqing couldn't help but sigh, "What kind of fate is this? How could we meet like this?"

These are also the words Fan Liuer wanted to say. What kind of fate is this? She thought the person was dead, but he was still alive, and they met in a situation that Fan Liuer couldn't ignore.

While she was worried, she also felt a strange sense of relief.

He is not dead; he is still alive.

As evening fell, Feng Ji returned from the clinic with the medicine, Fan Liuer went to brew the medicine, and Si Qing went to cook.

Fan Liuer prepared the medicine and fed it to Li Chenbi. After the three of them finished eating at Fan Liuer's place, Siqing went back with Feng Ji.

It was already dark outside. At this time of day, Fan Liuer would have already finished washing up and was in bed.

After washing up today, she stood in front of the bamboo bed, somewhat perplexed.

He reached out and touched Li Chenbi's forehead; the burning heat on his body had not yet subsided.

Perhaps it was because Fan Liuer's hands were so cold that they made him feel comfortable, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands against hers.

Fan Liuer was struggling internally. She knew how much pain Li Chenbi was suffering from the fever. If anyone in the world could truly understand Li Chenbi's pain, it would be her.

As much pain she suffered from the cold illness as Li Chenbi did.

No, Li Chenbi's condition is more serious than hers. Her cold symptoms don't flare up every day; she just needs to keep warm to resolve them.

However, Li Chenbi's fever required daily medication to suppress it.

She looked at Li Chenbi's furrowed brows even in his unconscious state, and knew that in addition to enduring the pain of his wounds, he was also suffering from the erosion of fever.

After a moment's thought, she withdrew her hand, went to the bed to get her own pillow, placed it next to Li Chenbi, and then took off her outer garment and lay down.

The bamboo bed was too narrow; it was a bit cramped for two people to lie down, and their bodies inevitably pressed together.

Fan Liuer deliberately chose the side of Li Chenbi's leg that was in better condition. After lying down, she carefully pressed herself against Li Chenbi and used her body to cool him down.

She was dressed very lightly, wearing only a thin undergarment that clung to her body as if she were not wearing anything at all. The moment she touched Li Chenbi, the intense heat emanating from him immediately penetrated the fabric and reached her.

Fan Liuer wasn't afraid of the heat; even in the sweltering summer, the temperature emanating from Li Chenbi made her feel comfortable.

She pressed herself against Li Chenbi, looking at his profile in the candlelight, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Is this destiny?

It was destined that she would be entangled with Li Chenbi, which is why the two met again under such circumstances.

Perhaps sensing the chill emanating from her, Li Chenbi instinctively moved closer to her, as if he wanted to turn over and embrace her.

Fan Liuer was worried that he would aggravate his wound, so she immediately reached out and pressed him down, lifting her foot and pressing it onto his thigh to hold him down and prevent him from moving.

In this way, she was practically hanging on him.

With her pressing him down like that, Li Chenbi felt the coolness emanating from her body and stopped moving around, becoming completely still.

His brows, which had been furrowed, relaxed a little.

Fan Liuer slept surprisingly well.

Since separating from Li Chenbi, she has had trouble falling asleep every night.

Having gotten used to having a human heater to hold, it's still a bit strange to sleep alone on a cold bed.

That night, she felt a warm sensation all over her body again; she didn't even need a blanket, her whole body was warm.

I slept very soundly.

In addition to being frightened during the day and busy taking care of Li Chenbi, she was indeed exhausted.

She was awakened by Siqing's knocking on the door outside.

"Sister Liu'er, Sister Liu'er, are you awake?"

Fan Liuer opened her eyes groggily, and what she saw was not the bed curtains she would normally see when she opened her eyes, but a piece of skin radiating heat.

Her mind was still hazy, and she couldn't recall what happened last night. She was so frightened that she cried out and sat up abruptly from the bamboo bed.
