This high fever came quickly and violently, and Gong Mengshu seemed to have fallen into a nightmarish whirlpool of high heat. She was sent back to her room, lying on the bed, tossing and turning on the pillow, her face burning red, and her mouth talking nonsense. Cheng Ruikai rushed over to accompany her when he heard the news, ordered a doctor to come and see, and prescribed medicine, but Gong Mengshu still had a high fever for two days.

Gong Mengshu's serious condition made Cheng Ruikai a little anxious, he put down what he was doing, stayed by her bedside, and saw that the maid came in with a basin and a cold towel, he stopped the maid and personally covered Gong Mengshu with a cold towel. Gong Mengshu was agitated by the cold towel, opened her eyes in a daze, and only saw a black shadow, she screamed in fright, her eyes were dilated, and she muttered: "It's not me...... It's not me ......," he said, cowering into the corner of the wall in fear.

Cheng Ruikai was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, held Gong Mengshu's shoulder, and whispered comfortingly: "Mengshu, Mengshu, what's wrong with you? I'm Ruikai, Ruikai ......" Gong Mengshu was gently called by Cheng Ruikai, and her sanity came back a little, she tried to open her heavy eyelids to see Cheng Ruikai clearly, and found that it was really him, so she hugged him weakly, crying and saying, "She...... She...... No ......."

"Who is gone?" Cheng Ruikai asked Gong Mengshu with a frowning eyebrow.

"Four...... Four...... Aunt ......" Gong Mengshu hugged Cheng Ruikai, her eyes were straight, and her whole body trembled, "No ......"

Cheng Ruikai's heart tightened, understanding that Gong Mengshu should have seen something so he was frightened and caused a high fever, seeing that she was confused, he couldn't bear to ask her anymore, so he gently patted her shoulder and back, and said: "She can't think about it herself, don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with you, and now it's fine......

Gong Mengshu shrank in Cheng Ruikai's arms and sobbed: "Ruikai...... Ruikai ......"

"Well, I'm here, don't be afraid, what about me......" Cheng Ruikai hugged Gong Mengshu in his arms, Gong Mengshu finally found something that could reassure her, she hugged Cheng Ruikai with her thin arms, and pressed her hot face against the skin on his neck, refusing to let go.

Cheng Ruikai hugged himself by Gong Mengshu, he liked when she was so dependent on him. He maintained this position for a long time, and then hugged her, and also lay on his side on the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them, and patiently waited for Gong Mengshu to subside in his fever. Gong Mengshu, who was groggy and dazed, jumped up from time to time in her dream, because Cheng Ruikai was beside her and couldn't help but comfort her, so her uneasy fluctuations gradually calmed down.

Cheng Ruikai kissed Gong Mengshu's sweaty forehead, the door was suddenly knocked gently, he frowned slightly, but saw a maid walk in, and cautiously told him: "Second young master, the master asked you to go over now to discuss the details of your engagement ceremony tomorrow......"

Cheng Ruikai replied without raising his head: "Well, I know......" The maid saw that he was still hugging Gong Mengshu intimately, and he didn't mean to get out of bed, so he didn't dare to look at it and retreated.

After half an hour, the maid waited outside for a long time and didn't see Cheng Ruikai come out, so she dared to come in again. "Young master......" The little maid spoke again, and before she approached Cheng Ruikai, she alarmed Gong Mengshu, who was half asleep, she groaned, turned her head uneasily, and the tip of her nose and forehead were covered with fine sweat.

Cheng Ruikai was afraid that Gong Mengshu would be woken up, so he turned his head with a cold face and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"

The little maid was glared at by Cheng Ruikai's sharp eyes, and was so frightened that she crawled out with her, and did not forget to bring the door to Cheng Ruikai by the way.

But the cool breeze blowing in from outside still woke Gong Mengshu up, the high fever subsided slightly, her Shentai was a little clear, her eyes were half open and she looked at Cheng Ruikai, and she heard a little bit of the little girl's words in a daze.

Cheng Ruikai saw that she was awake again, so he lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Are you still uncomfortable?"

Gong Mengshu stared at Cheng Ruikai for a while, and didn't hear his words of concern in a trance, so he only asked him with difficulty: "You...... You're ...... tomorrow Is...... To hold ...... Held...... Betrothal...... Is the ceremony over?" Cheng Ruikai was silent for a long time before he replied with a low "um".

Although Gong Mengshu was still in a high fever, when she heard Cheng Ruikai's affirmative answer, her heart was still like being touched by a flame, and the pain that pierced her heart penetrated into her bone marrow. An empty feeling of fear of loss made her hold on to Cheng Ruikai desperately, she hugged his neck, and couldn't help crying in the high heat and drowsiness.

"Don't cry, Mengshu, take good care of yourself, understand?" Cheng Ruikai knew that Gong Mengshu's mood would fluctuate, but he didn't expect her to react so much. He hugged her, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and gently comforted her.

Gong Mengshu felt the pain in her chest come up in waves/waves, making her unable to resist, she opened her tearful eyes wide, and looked at Cheng Ruikai with her burning red eyes, and there was a bright flame in her eyes that almost burned people, "Ruikai!" she called his name.

"Huh?" Cheng Ruikai looked back at her, while lifting the sweaty mess on her face and putting it behind her ears.

"Let's leave here together, okay?" Gong Mengshu looked at Cheng Ruikai eagerly, "Let's go together?!You don't want to get engaged, take me away?!" She hugged him tightly as she asked, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. "Don't leave me, I don't want to lose you!Let's go!Let's go!Leave now!Get out of here, go far away, never come back!Find a place where no one is, we'll be together forever......" She hugged him tightly, her eyes shining so brightly that a crazy flame jumped out of it.

Gong Mengshu's soft and hot body trembled in Cheng Ruikai's arms, Cheng Ruikai listened to Gong Mengshu's eager words, and then looked at her earnest begging gaze, and was slightly sour by her love for him and exclusive emotions. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally just hugged Gong Mengshu in his arms, almost embedding her whole body in his chest, close to his strongly beating heart.

"Okay?Ruikai?" Gong Mengshu was already incoherent, she tried her best to fight for herself to the end, but she didn't have more strength to continue to wait for Cheng Ruikai's hesitation, she was about to fall down from exhaustion.

Cheng Ruikai also let go of Gong Mengshu little by little at this time, and gently wiped the sweat and tears from her face with the rough fingertips that held the gun, and then said, "Mengshu...... I'm a man, and I have to make a promise...... So...... I can't run away...... Please forgive me......" he struggled to find the right wording, "but don't worry, I have you alone in my heart......" He held her face, rubbed the tip of his nose against the tip ......of her nose, and muttered, "You are the only one who lives in my heart in this life, and it will never change"

Gong Mengshu's strength to struggle was lost little by little, and she slowly leaned back with Cheng Ruikai's persuasion, until she was put flat on the bed by Cheng Ruikai. He carefully covered her with a quilt and said, "You can recuperate with peace of mind, I will come back to see you when I am done......

Gong Mengshu on the bed was motionless and did not respond to him, she was like an empty shell that had lost her vitality. Cheng Ruikai stood beside the bed for a while, then sighed, turned around and walked out of the room fiercely, and went with the little maid who had been waiting for a long time.

The door was closed again, and Gong Mengshu on the hospital bed was still half-open for a long time before slowly closing his abnormally bright eyes and falling into a coma again.

When I woke up again, it was already the second day, and Gong Mengshu's fever finally subsided completely. She moved, and a maid serving her by the bed hurriedly took the dry cloth and wanted to wipe it for her, Gong Mengshu looked at the maid weakly, listened to the faint sound of firecrackers outside the window, and asked, "Is the second master getting engaged?"

The maid nodded cautiously and said, "Yes." ”

Gong Mengshu didn't ask a second question, she turned her face sideways to the bed inside, and said after a while: "You go out, I want to stay alone for a while......"

"However, the young master has instructed the slave maid to keep an eye on the young lady......" the maid said timidly.

"I'm sick anymore," Gong Mengshu still didn't look back, "You go and rest." Don't worry, I won't be as worried as you and the second master are worried about, and I will commit suicide immediately......"

The little maid was thought by Gong Mengshu in the center, and her little face couldn't help but turn red. So he listened to Gong Mengshu's advice and went out to sit on the stone pier at the door. Gong Mengshu saw the maid go out of the house, so he closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

On this day, she never got out of bed, just lay on the bed, and the outside of the room was very lively without thinking about it, and the festive firecrackers alone resounded all day long, not to mention the laughter and laughter of those noisy people coming and going. She kept her eyes open, not a drop of water, from morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, and then from night to the next morning...... In this way, from dawn to dark, and from dark to dawn, her eyes were not closed, and there were no tears, but they were always open.

In the early morning of the third day, the little maid who was worried about something was going to happen pushed the door in, but saw Gong Mengshu standing by the window with her clothes on, staring out the window with her back to her. The little maid breathed a sigh of relief, and while bringing the hot porridge to Gong Mengshu, she said happily: "Miss Gong, the second young master asked me to come over and tell you that he drank too much at the dinner yesterday, so he didn't come to see you." But he should come to you to say goodbye later, and I heard that he is about to go to Nanjing with the second young grandmother to find a better errand......"

Gong Mengshu didn't look back, the little girl crackled and said, she turned a deaf ear and didn't seem to hear it. After a long time, her thin body shrank coldly, leaned out of the window, and muttered in a low voice, "Outside...... Like, it's going to rain......"
