Chapter 39: Overnight Care
Hearing her cry of thirst, Lu Zhan hurriedly poured water, and did not forget to blow it, seeing that the water temperature was right, he stroked his shoulders with one hand and a half, and put the cup next to her mouth with the other.
Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~
"Drink slowly...", the woman drank three glasses before she was satisfied.
The warm water entered the lungs, and Xu Miaoyun felt that her stomach was much better after being burned.
"Hot..."She still wanted to tear off the quilt on her body when she was not awake, but she was restrained by a pair of powerful big hands.
"Don't move, it won't be hot after drinking the medicine for a while..."The man's voice seemed to have magical power, and the struggling woman slowly stopped.
Seeing the woman gradually close her eyes, Lu Zhan silently breathed a sigh of relief. Pick up the ice handkerchief that she had touched, put it back into the water, and cover her again.
The cycle repeated, and after half an hour, a soldier finally brought in the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Lu Zhan knew that Hu Lao had returned to the camp to rest, so he also asked the soldiers to retreat.
"Come, drink the medicine." Lu Zhan sat on the edge of the bed, helped Xu Miaoyun up, let her half lean on himself, and slowly brought the medicine close to her mouth.
This time, Xu Miaoyun did not play like she was drunk before, but obediently opened her mouth to match.
Lu Zhan fed her little by little with relief, until the bowl of medicine was about to be drunk, but he didn't expect the woman to frown, as if she had finally tasted the bitterness of this medicine, she raised her hand and waved away the medicine bowl next to her mouth.
The body also sat up suddenly, dragging the person next to him, and spit out the point in his mouth, vomiting all over his body.
"Vomit~~ "
Seeing this, Lu Zhan hurriedly held it with one hand and gently patted her back with the other.
"Cough, cough cough cough ~ I don't care about the four waters, it's so bitter~" The woman was so bitter that she squeezed out a few tears.
Seeing that she didn't vomit much, Lu Zhan was also relieved, and hurriedly coaxed gently, "It's water, it's water, it's all drunk, it's okay." ”
"Woooooooooo No, four waters... Bitter... Hot... It hurts..."
"It'll be fine in a while, it's not hot and it doesn't hurt."
Lu Zhan straightened her body, slowly put her on the bed, and brought a sweat towel to wipe the remaining medicine stains on her mouth. After she was cleaned up neatly, maybe she was tired from tossing, or the effect of the medicine worked, Xu Miaoyun no longer cried out for pain or heat, and finally fell asleep deeply.
Lu Zhan let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, and suddenly felt as if he was also infected, with a fever all over his body and a hot forehead.
The man took a stool and slowly sat down beside Xu Miaoyun's bed, quietly staring at the woman's sleeping face. The woman's eyelashes are slender and long, casting a half-arc of shadows like the wings of a butterfly. Thinking of her eyes full of aura and vitality when she was awake, and the cunning or aggressive light every time she spoke to herself, Lu Zhan's heart jumped.
Finding that her brows were slightly furrowed, Lu Zhan couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke it, helping her slowly smooth it out one by one.
In this way, such a big and a small, sleeping and sitting, time passed negligently. When the light of the dawn was slightly revealed outside the tent, Lu Zhan reached out and touched the woman's forehead, and when he saw that the temperature had returned to normal, he planned to get up and leave.
As soon as he stood up and lowered his head, he found that his whole body was dirty, and the black medicine stains were intertwined on his white underwear, just like his chaotic thoughts this night.
The curvature of the corners of Lu Zhan's mouth raised slightly, with a little self-deprecation and bitterness.
He laughed at himself, no matter what, he never thought that he would take care of a woman so considerately, or a woman he couldn't grab or fight.
What to do? He intuitively felt as if he was facing a test that he had never faced before, knowing that there was an abyss ahead, but he still couldn't climb out of the abyss by himself, just because there was her in that abyss.
