Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer was a person who was afraid of death and would never do anything that would endanger her own life.

After Li Chenbi spoke like that, she never left the courtyard again. Even when she needed to find Siqing, she would send a new servant to do so.

She could get by like that; she was a lazy person by nature, and as long as there was something to do to pass the time, she could stay indoors for an entire winter.

Unable to go out now, she has returned to spending her days reading storybooks at home to pass the time.

Everything else was fine, the only thing that made her unhappy was Li Chenbi.

Li Qiuping brought medicine, and Li Chenbi's fever did not recur. However, he could not tolerate the heat in the sweltering summer. There was no way to buy ice to cool him down, so he refused to wear anything other than a thin pair of underpants.

At first, Fan Liuer didn't bother with him. Anyway, he didn't go out, so he wouldn't be seen as a lecher.

But when Li Chenbi gets hot, he has to stick to her. If she's on the bed, he'll follow her onto the bed. If she goes to the bamboo bed, he'll follow her onto the bamboo bed. When she gets annoyed and goes to sit on the edge of the bed, Li Chenbi will follow her there.

He pulled Fan Liuer up and sat down on a chair, then hugged her and let her sit on his lap.

"Your leg!" Fan Liuer exclaimed in her panic, but she didn't forget to look after his injured leg.

On the contrary, the person in question didn't care at all, and pulled her into a tight embrace, pressing his whole body against hers.

His body was as hot as a furnace; even Fan Liuer felt a bit hot in this weather.

Moreover, he was shirtless, and Fan Liuer was wearing a thin summer dress; it was rather inappropriate for the two of them to be so close together.

"Let go of me! We're not in that kind of relationship anymore. What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling like this!" Fan Liuer pushed his head away from her neck.

Li Chenbi was unbearably hot, and Fan Liuer's skin was cool; any part of her skin touching him could relieve the burning sensation.

He pressed his face against her palm, saying, "I've already given you my entire fortune. I'm yours now. You think you can just take the money and then renege on your debt?"

Fan Liuer pulled her hand back. "When did I take your money? I didn't ask for any. Besides, where's the money?"

Li Chenbi pressed himself against her again, burying his head in her neck, and no matter how hard Fan Liuer tried, she couldn't push him away.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck and said in a muffled voice, "We're both in Xingzhou City. Once I'm healed, you can come back with me, and everything will be yours."

Fan Liuer couldn't push him away, and feeling unconvinced, she snorted coldly, "Hmph, words are no proof. Who knows if you'll actually give it to me?"

Li Chenbi turned his head to the side, lifted his eyelids to look at her, and said, "I'll write you a written agreement later."

Fan Liuer looked down to meet his gaze. His face was flushed, and even the corners of his eyes were red, clearly indicating that he was in real pain.

Fan Liuer's heart softened again, and her body went limp, no longer resisting.

She turned her head away and said irritably, "I didn't say I wanted it."

"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

Li Chenbi smiled and buried his face in Fan Liuer's neck again.

The next day was the same as before; the promise of "this will not happen again" did not hold true for Li Chenbi.

The scene from the previous day repeated itself, and in the end, Fan Liuer always softened and gave in.

The same thing happened on the third day.

Fan Liuer is a very easy-going person who can adapt to any environment. After a few days, she got used to it and no longer resisted when Li Chenbi pestered her. She even had the leisure to continue reading her storybook.

Li Chenbi held her to relieve the heat in his body, but he was not very satisfied with Fan Liuer's complacency.

"You can still read a storybook while I'm holding you in my arms?" He pressed down on Fan Liuer's hand as she tried to turn the page, his expression not good.

Fan Liuer's eyes were practically glued to the storybook; she was just getting to the exciting part when she quickly slapped Li Chenbi's hand away, saying, "Don't bother me, this is a crucial moment."

Li Chenbi snatched the book from her hand.

Fan Liuer finally turned her gaze to him, glaring at him, "What are you doing!"

Li Chenbi said with a sullen face, "Look at me."

Fan Liuer frowned. "Why are you looking at me? I'm tired of looking at your face." As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the book.

Li Chenbi stretched out his arm so she couldn't reach him, and pressed his other hand against her waist to prevent her from getting up. "Tired of looking at you? Fan Liuer, I never thought you were such a heartless and ungrateful person."

"How am I heartless? Have you forgotten who pulled you out of the water?" Fan Liu'er was angered by his words.

"If I were truly heartless, I should have kicked you into the water back then!"

"You dare call me heartless and ungrateful? I think you're the heartless one! Otherwise, why didn't anyone help you when you were in trouble? It wasn't just me. I really thought you were dead, worried you were suffering in the afterlife, and went to all this trouble to help you..."

Fan Liuer stopped there and glanced at Li Chenbi.

She almost let it slip.

"Give me what?" Li Chenbi narrowed his eyes.

Fan Liuer changed the subject, "I'm burning paper money for you. It cost a lot of money to buy, and I burned it all so that you can have a more comfortable time down there."

"I'm so loyal and righteous, and you dare call me heartless and ungrateful? Go find some people like me who appreciate you!"

Li Chenbi had a gut feeling that what Fan Liuer hadn't finished saying wasn't as simple as burning paper money, but he didn't bother to ask further. He was in a great mood when he heard that Fan Liuer thought he was dead but still cared about him.

He handed the storybook back to Fan Liuer and then wrapped his arms around her again.

"Take a look." His eyes were full of affection, and even his tone softened considerably.

Fan Liuer glared at him, then snuggled into his arms and continued reading her book.

Li Chenbi looked down at the top of Fan Liuer's head, gently stroking her back, and asked after a long while.

"Since you still care about me, why won't you trust me just this once?"

The person in his arms paused, and after a long while, answered him in a low voice.

It's not that I don't want to believe you.

"I just don't believe that people's hearts can remain unchanged throughout their lives."

Fan Liuer is not a heartless person. She remembers all the good things Li Chenbi has done for her, and she believes that Li Chenbi is now treating her sincerely.

But that's just Li Chenbi now. Who can say for sure whether Li Chenbi will change his mind in the future?

Thinking about this, Fan Liuer also felt that the problem between her and Li Chenbi really needed to be resolved. If they didn't come up with a good solution, there would be even less chance to resolve it once Li Chenbi regained his memory.

She looked up at Li Chenbi and said seriously, "I'm not willing to entrust the rest of my life to you, and you're not willing to let go. So how about we just stay together like this? I won't marry you, and you don't need to marry me. We'll be the same as before until you get married. When you have the idea of ​​getting married, just let me know."

Her expression was serious; she wasn't joking.

It was precisely because she was serious that Li Chenbi was so angry that he wanted to strangle her again.

"Fan Liuer," he said through gritted teeth.

"You've thought of everything!"
