Chapter 76: Clothes

As Wei Lai expected, although He Zhi's illness looked menacing, it was actually just a wind blowing and being frightened during the day, which infected the wind chill and launched a fever in the middle of the night.

Doctor Zhang raised his hand and put his hand on He Zhi's pulse for a moment, and then mercilessly threw a pair of eyes to Wei Lai: "It's just a little cold, can't you just grab some medicine by yourself?" In the middle of the night, I didn't have to drag the old man here! โ€

Wei Lai's face was full of smiles, but his heart was a lot more settled. In the end, I begged Dr. Zhang to write a prescription, and then I sent the person back to the medical hall, and by the way, I went to the medicine cabinet to arrest the medicine.

After this toss, when Wei Lai came back with the medicine, it was already past the fourth watch.

When Xi Qiu ran to knock on Wei Lai's door earlier, she alarmed Aunt Wei, but the old man moved more slowly, and waited until Wei Lai hurriedly ran out of the door to ask for a doctor, and then she got dressed and lit the lamp and came out. Later, seeing that He Zhi was sick, she didn't say anything, so she ran to the kitchen to help boil hot water, and she hadn't rested yet.

After Wei Lai came back, he went to the kitchen with the medicine, intending to turn the casserole out to boil the medicine, but when he looked up, he found that Aunt Wei was also in the kitchen. Looking at the boiling water on the stove, remembering that he was in a hurry before, he didn't have time to greet the old lady, Wei Lai also felt guilty in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, it's so late, why don't you go to rest?" But we're too noisy to bother you? โ€

Aunt Wei looked at the boiling water in the pot, and then looked at the medicine in Wei Lai's hand, but waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I don't sleep much when I'm old, I'm awake this time, and it's not easy to fall asleep." You give me the medicine, and I'll send it to Ah Zhi when I'm ready. โ€

"Mother, here is me, there is Xi Qiu, don't worry about it. If you're not well, you'd better go back to the house and rest early. Wei Lai felt guilty in his heart, so he naturally couldn't let his wife stay up all night anymore, so he put the medicine bag he was holding aside, and pushed Aunt Wei back to the house to rest.

After sending Aunt Wei back to the room and watching the lights in Aunt Wei's house go out, Wei Lai returned to the kitchen again. When I raised my eyes, I found that the medicine bag I had placed on the table before was gone, and I looked around and realized that it was Xi Qiu who took it-the little girl turned out the casserole for boiling medicine out of nowhere, and now she cleaned it and poured medicinal materials into it, it seemed that she was planning to boil medicine.

Seeing that Xi Qiu didn't seem to know, Wei Lai didn't care about boiling the medicine anymore, and after a few words of instructions with Xi Qiu, he went to see He Zhi again.

After tossing in the middle of the night, Miss He was still groggy and asleep, with no signs of waking up at all. The slightly furrowed brows have never been released, clearly telling her discomfort at the moment.

Aunt Wei and Xi Qiu should have been fed hot water before, and now He Zhi's lips are no longer as dry as before. However, the fever seemed to have come to an end, and at this time her face was no longer the abnormal flush before, but a little pale, and a lot of sweat was soaked on her forehead, and the whole person was full of weakness.

The towel on He Zhi's forehead had already been taken down by Xi Qiu, and it was placed next to the bed with the basin of cold water.

Wei Lai stood on the edge of the bed and looked at it a few times, then bent down and reached out to probe He Zhi's forehead. After a while, he withdrew his hand and found that the temperature on He Zhi's body had indeed dropped, but this touch was stained with sweat on his hand.

Thinking of the pot of hot water that Aunt Wei had just boiled in the kitchen, Wei Lai ran to the kitchen with the basin to change the basin of hot water, and then twisted the towel and began to help He Zhi wipe her sweat.

Forehead, cheeks, neck, palms, Wei Lai wiped them one by one with a warm towel, and after hesitating for a moment, he carefully lifted the thick quilt covering He Zhi's body.

He Zhi became ill after going to bed, and naturally only wore white middle clothes under the quilt. Although a middle coat was enough to wrap Miss He's body tightly, so that people couldn't see half of it, Wei couldn't help but blush.

Taking advantage of the danger of people is naturally impossible, Wei Lai blushed slightly and opened his eyes, and then reached out and touched the clothes on He Zhi's body, and there was a slight tide in his hand - the clothes on Miss He's body were already half soaked with sweat.

Although the wind chill is not a serious illness, it will not taste good after infection. Miss He had just overheated, and now the temperature subsided and she began to sweat profusely, and it would not be long before she had chills again. If you are still wearing this half-wet clothes, I am afraid that it will be even more uncomfortable at that time, and maybe the condition will worsen after the cold......

Wei Lai covered He Zhi with the quilt again, then stared at her slightly haggard face for a moment, then picked up the already cold water and went to the kitchen again - she naturally didn't want to meddle in this kind of thing when she changed clothes, not to mention what the consequences would be when Miss He woke up and knew what the consequences would be, she herself would feel very embarrassed, so in the end, she stayed in the kitchen to look at the medicine, and went to the house to change He Zhi's clothes after changing Xi Qiu.

*****************************************************************

After a nightmare, it was already dawn when I woke up.

He Zhi opened her eyes and looked at the old tent above her head in a daze, her mind was so chaotic that she could barely remember where she was. Then his consciousness slowly returned, and he remembered that this was at Wei Lai's house, but he felt a dizziness in his head, and he didn't feel very good, just like when he was sick many years ago.

remembered that she went up the mountain with Wei Lai yesterday, although the other party had been very considerate to go to most of the mountain wind, but her physique was not as good as Wei Lai, so she probably still caught a cold.

He Zhi, who has not been sick for many years, is a little helpless, and wants to support her body but feels weak. After hesitating for a while, she finally gave up, but the feeling of fire burning in her throat made her want to drink some water to moisten her throat.

"Xi Qiu......" When He Zhi spoke, she found that her voice was hoarse, and the low voice made her feel uncomfortable, so after calling this sound, she frowned and stopped talking. It's just that the volume of this voice is too small, and He Zhi herself doubts whether Xi Qiu, who is in the same room, can hear it.

But this whisper was still heard, because the next moment a cup of tea with a moderate temperature appeared in front of her, and then carefully fed her to drink.

There was still a chapped pain in my throat, but after a glass of warm water, it was relieved a lot. He Zhi drank the entire glass of water with the other party's hand, and when she looked up, she found that it was not Xi Qiu who fed her water, but Wei Lai, who should live in the next room.

Thinking of the unkempt wolf bรจi who had just woken up from her sleep, Miss He felt that her whole person was not good: "Wei Lai, you, why are you here?!" โ€

Wei Lai didn't react when he heard this, and the tiredness and worry in his eyes were completely hidden. She casually put the empty teacup aside, and helped He Zhi lift a little quilt and fold it again, and then replied: "You had a cold yesterday and had a fever in the middle of the night." Feeling better now? There's porridge still cooking on the stove, but you want to use some? โ€

He Zhi looked at Wei Lai, who seemed to be extraordinarily gentle today, in a daze, and it took some time to react to what the other party meant. People who are sick always seem to be involuntarily vulnerable, thinking that Wei Lai may have been busy for himself all night last night, He Zhi's heart also had some indescribable feelings for a while......

Seeing that He Zhi just looked at herself in a daze, and didn't answer for a long time, Wei Lai waited for a while and then went to the kitchen to get porridge - Miss He woke up from illness today and didn't wake up early, breakfast was over now, plus she didn't use much food last night, so she should naturally be hungry at this time.

Miss He, who was unwell and lost her appetite after her illness, actually didn't feel hungry, and after Wei Lai left, she turned her eyes and planned to ask Xi Qiu about last night. It's a pity that Xi Qiu is not in the room at this time, and as soon as Wei Lai left, there was no one else in the room except her, but when she looked at it, her eyes fell on the white middle coat placed on a stool not far away.

Miss Ho's eyesight is good, and even from a distance of one or two battles, she can still vaguely see the dark lines embroidered on the collar of her middle shirt...... So, the middle coat is actually hers? But why is her middle coat so big outside?

He Zhi stared at the middle coat for a moment, and suddenly reacted. She subconsciously lifted the quilt and looked down at the clothes on her body - although the white middle coat was almost nothing special, He Zhi still found that the one on her body had indeed been changed through the sporadic embroidered dark lines on the collar.

So now the question is, who changed her clothes?!

Intellectually, He Zhi believed that Wei Lai was not a reckless and rude person, and she couldn't do it by herself to change clothes, so she should have called Xi Qiu to help her change clothes. But this morning, she didn't even see Xi Qiu's shadow, so she only saw Wei Lai alone in the house watching her wake up, and then take care of her......

So, where did Xi Qiu's little girl go? She wouldn't be unreliable enough to disappear overnight and leave her home completely in the care of Wei Lai, right?! What the hell is the change of clothes...... In the final analysis, Wei Lai is actually a woman, maybe in her heart to help He Zhi, who is also a woman, change clothes, is not unreasonable?

Just thinking about it like this, He Zhi felt that he couldn't face Wei Lai. However, Wei Lai came back quickly, not only did she bring back the hot and fragrant white rice porridge, but also brought a basin of hot water by the way, obviously planning to freshen up He Zhi.

He Zhi watched Wei Lai enter the door with porridge in one hand and a basin of water in the other, but she still subconsciously looked behind Wei Lai, as if she wanted to see Xi Qiu come along. However, at dawn this morning, some little girls who couldn't hold on were driven back to her house to sleep by Aunt Wei, who got up early, so Miss He could only be disappointed at this time.

"Jin Rui, let's wash up and eat. Today you are not feeling well, and the weather is cold, so it is really not suitable to get out of bed and walk around. Wei Lai put down the things in his hand as he spoke, and when he finished speaking, he had already handed the mouthwash water to He Zhi's mouth.

He Zhi raised her head and glanced at Wei Lai silently, the other party's eyes were frank, and she couldn't see the slightest embarrassment or inappropriateness. So He Zhi understood that no matter who changed the clothes, there was no need to pursue them, because no matter what the facts were, Wei Lai would never feel that he had done anything wrong.

After rinsing his mouth simply, as soon as He Zhi put down the water cup, Wei Lai had already handed over a wrung out warm towel.

He Zhi blinked, took it and wiped her face, but her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

As the pearl of Lord Shangshu, Miss He has lived a life of fine clothes and food since she was a child. Not to mention what happened after she got sick, even the maids in the house took good care of her on weekdays, and handing her mouthwash and twisting a towel was nothing at all.

But when these things that people are accustomed to are done by another person, it is a different feeling.

He Zhi suddenly felt that Wei Lai was actually doing his best to spoil her, even if she herself might not have thought about it so specifically.

"This porridge is still a little hot, Jinrui, be careful when you eat it." Seeing that He Zhi had finished washing, Wei Lai immediately took the towel and put it in the basin, turned his head and handed over a bowl of hot porridge, and did not forget to say a few words at the end.

He Zhi didn't answer, nor did he speak, just looked up at Wei Lai.

Wei Lai waited for a while with the porridge, and saw that He Zhi still didn't mean to take it, so he thought for a while and said, "Is it because you are sick and have no strength?" Why don't I feed you? โ€
