Warm medicine emits fragrance

"I've read many storybooks, and every beautiful story ends before the protagonists get married. Most of the unhappy stories happen after they get married."

"This shows that marriage is an extremely unreliable thing."

Li Chenbi disliked her conclusion, saying, "Not every man in this world is a heartless scoundrel. Don't generalize."

"There are indeed men who are loyal in relationships, but that all comes with conditions. It requires that both families are of similar social standing, and that the woman has family support so that the man will naturally not dare to neglect her. If the two families are too far apart in terms of social standing, nine times out of ten the ending will not be good."

After Fan Liuer finished speaking, she added, "Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Some things you have to experience yourself to understand."

"You talk as if you've experienced it yourself. Did your deceased husband force you to go through these things?"

Li Chenbi knew everything about Fan Liuer's past. Fan Liuer definitely hadn't experienced any of these things; she must have read too many storybooks.

Seeing the doubt in Li Chenbi's eyes, Fan Liuer started to make up stories again, "Of course I have experienced it. My late husband was very rich, but he had an extremely bad temper. He would throw a tantrum if things didn't go his way. He was unpredictable and could change his mind faster than turning the pages of a book."

The more Li Chenbi listened, the more suspicious he became.

Wasn't her deceased husband Qi Weiming? Qi Weiming was a rich man?

He remembered that Qi Weiming was just a martial arts instructor at a training ground, teaching people some moves to strengthen their bodies. It was only after falling into the water and being rescued by Yan Qi that Yan Qi took him in, seeing that he was quite skilled, and that's how he gradually rose to his current position.

Yan Qi told him all this.

Fan Liuer continued, "It's one thing to have a bad temper, but he also likes to torment me. He won't let me lie still, he won't let me eat sweets, and he forces me to go out and move around. I have no say in this life. I have to be mindful of his mood for everything, from eating and drinking to using the toilet."

Li Chenbi slowly narrowed his eyes.

These words sound like they're directed at him.

"Tell me!" Fan Liuer looked at him, "With his unpredictable temper, who would dare to spend their life with him? He even threatens to break my legs at the drop of a hat."

Li Chenbi's expression was indescribable. "You hate him that much? Doesn't he have any good points?"

Fan Liuer thought for a moment, "Yes, there are."

Li Chenbi's expression softened somewhat. "For example?"

"He's handsome."

Li Chenbi: "..."

"Anything else?"

"rich."

"Anything else?"

"That's all."

"Gone?" Li Chenbi was so angry that he wanted to take out Fan Liuer's heart to see if it was filled with stones.

You remember all his bad points clearly, but you don't remember any of his good points at all, right?

Fan Liuer didn't say anything. How could it be gone? She wasn't really heartless.

She remembered Li Chenbi's thoughtfulness and consideration, but she couldn't bring herself to say those things to his face.

Even though he has lost his memory, she still felt uncomfortable saying those things in front of that face.

"Alright, why bother talking to you about this? He's already dead." With that, Fan Liuer stood up, picked up the medicine bottle and gauze, and hurriedly left.

Li Chenbi stared at Fan Liuer's back until she completely disappeared before angrily cursing out.

"Ungrateful wretch!"

Li Chenbi was so angry that even after Fan Liuer finished washing up and climbed onto the bamboo bed to lie down next to him, he didn't say another word.

He didn't want to talk to Fan Liuer right now, afraid he wouldn't be able to control his temper.

Fan Liuer didn't realize he was angry at all. After getting into bed, she naturally snuggled up to him and hugged his arm with both hands.

She used him as a bed warmer very skillfully, without feeling embarrassed at all.

At first, Li Chenbi didn't want to pay attention to her and stubbornly resisted for a quarter of an hour, but in the end, he couldn't help but reach out and pull Fan Liuer into his arms.

Fan Liuer had already fallen asleep next to him.

Li Chenbi looked down at the person huddled in his arms and couldn't help but curse under his breath again.

"ungrateful!"

Fan Liuer was woken up by the heat in the morning.

She rarely felt hot, and she had never been woken up by the heat. When she first woke up, her face and neck were covered in sticky sweat, which made her very uncomfortable.

When she opened her eyes and saw Li Chenbi in front of her, she realized that all the sweat on her body was Li Chenbi's.

No wonder she was woken up by the heat; Li Chenbi had fallen ill again, his body temperature was frighteningly high.

It was even worse than when he was found. He was completely out of his mind. If it weren't for his furrowed brows and the painful groans coming from his mouth, Fan Liu'er would have thought he had fainted from the pain.

Fan Liuer didn't dare to delay and immediately got up to go to the kitchen to brew the medicine.

After brewing the medicine, she hurriedly ran to Feng Ji's house and knocked on the door.

Siqing opened the door. She had just woken up and her eyes were still blurry. She only woke up a little when she saw Fan Liuer's anxious and flustered appearance.

"Sister Liu'er, what's wrong?"

Fan Liuer asked anxiously, "Is Brother Feng up yet? I need to ask him for a favor."

"I'm up, I'll go call him right away." Siqing didn't ask any more questions and immediately turned around and went into the house.

Feng Ji was called out, and Fan Liuer didn't have time to explain to him before hurriedly leading him back home, with Si Qing following behind.

The three entered Fan Liuer's courtyard. Fan Liuer instructed Siqing, "Siqing, go to the kitchen and watch the medicine for me. Brother Feng, come with me to the outhouse."

Feng Ji didn't ask any more questions and followed Fan Liuer into the outhouse.

Fan Liuer pointed to the large wooden tub in the corner, which she usually used for bathing, and said, "Brother Feng, could you please help me move this tub to my room?"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Feng Ji and quickly returned to her bedroom.

Li Chenbi was no longer the same as when she left. She was curled up in a ball, panting heavily, and suffering from fever.

Fan Liuer quickly went over and held his legs down to prevent him from moving.

"Lie down properly, don't put your legs down."

Li Chenbi could no longer hear what she was saying. He instinctively grabbed her hand, pulled her close, and drew the coolness from her body.

At this moment, Feng Ji carried the wooden basin into the house.

Fan Liuer hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, could you please help me lift him into the basin?"

Feng Ji looked puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions. As Fan Liuer had instructed, he helped her lift Li Chenbi into the basin.

This basin was used by Fan Liuer for bathing. It wasn't very big; after Li Chenbi lay down in it, his legs had to be dangling outside.

"Come with me to fetch water," she said to Feng Ji, then got up and walked into the courtyard.

Although well water is not as good as ice, Fan Liuer had no better solution at the moment and could only use well water to temporarily alleviate the ice.

She and Feng Ji ran back and forth two or three times before they filled the wooden basin, immersing Li Chenbi's entire body except for his head and legs in the well water.

Just then, Siqing's medicine was ready, and she brought it over.

"The medicine is here."

Fan Liuer took the medicine, swished it in a cup until it was cool enough to drink, and then pried open Li Chenbi's mouth and poured it down his throat.
