Lin Che hurriedly jumped off his body. She clapped her hands and said, “I momentarily forgot. Come, let me feed you.”

Gu Jingze glared at her.

From the side, Lin Che carefully held up the spoon and fed him one mouthful at a time. He finished everything off thoroughly.

However, he still moved occasionally. He raised his head to glare at her as if he bore some deep-seated hatred in his heart.

Lin Che pursed her lips and ignored him. It was fine as long as he was eating.

“But how did you get the flu?” Lin Che asked.

“Everyone gets the flu,” he said.

“Of course, I know that. But why did you suddenly get the flu?”

“Why? Are you losing patience because I have the flu and need you to wait on me? In that case, you can leave,” Gu Jingze said in a bad temper.

“Hey, when did I say that?!”

She glared at him fiercely, “I’m truly the little bride who gets bullied. On one hand, you’re scolding me. On the other hand, I still have to wait on you. It’s really pitiful.”

Gu Jingze glared at her, “Serves you right.”

Lin Che glanced at him with displeasure, “Furthermore, there’s really nothing between me and Qin Qing.” As she said this, she sneaked a glance at his expression. She recalled what Yu Minmin had said about him getting jealous…

Was he really jealous?

Sure enough, Gu Jingze’s eyes suddenly flashed. He glared at her even more sharply.

Lin Che said, “Really. I just happened to meet him at the mall and we exchanged a few words. Who knew that a piece of gla.s.s would fall from the sky? It’s really scary when I think about how I nearly got disfigured. But at any rate, I’ve known him for so long. He would definitely help me out. Since he helped me, I can’t just not help either. So… ”

“That’s enough.” Gu Jingze’s face darkened as he interrupted her, “I don’t want to listen to your dumb explanations.”

“You… alright. I just explained to you because I was afraid you were jealous.”

“… ” Gu Jingze burst out in laughter, “Who is jealous?!”

“Aren’t you being jealous?”

Gu Jingze gritted his teeth and looked at her, “I was worried about your intelligence!”

“What does this have to do with my intelligence?” Lin Che asked in a nonplussed tone.

Gu Jingze’s eyes s.h.i.+fted. He glared at Lin Che and said, “Because… Because when things happen, you should know your position. That’s your future brother-in-law. If anything happens, you shouldn’t be at his side. If something goes wrong, do you think you should be the one to see him for the last time? Do you think you’re the one who can be responsible for him? No. The people responsible for his life are your sister and his family, not you, his sister-in-law. So what you should have done from the start was to leave him and call his family and your sister!’

“I… ” Lin Che’s face immediately turned red out of guilt, “I didn’t think that much at the time.”

“Then, think more in the future!”

“I…”

“Forget it. Don’t overthink either. In the future, call me first if anything happens. With your level of intelligence, thinking more won’t work either.”

“… ”

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, “So, you really weren’t jealous?”

“Jealous, my a.s.s! Quickly feed me!” Gu Jingze’s face was slightly red. He could not help but curse even though he usually did not curse at all.

Lin Che quickly lowered her head and started feeding him.

Gu Jingze glared at her and drew in a deep breath. His gaze also began to calm down.

After a lot of difficulties, Lin Che finished feeding him. She went out to return the tray. She looked at the maids and asked, “How exactly did your Sir get sick? This happened so suddenly.”

The maid said, “Madam, you’re the only one who can feed him anything. He did not eat at all no matter which one of us brought him food.”

“No way… ” Lin Che said, “It’s because none of you can rebel against him.”

The maid said, “Yesterday, Sir swam in the pool for the whole day. So he fell ill with fever when night came. He still doesn’t seem better today. We’re dying from worry.”

He swam for a day?

Seriously…

How could he not fall ill when he was this rebellious?

Lin Che shook her head while thinking. It would still be better for her to go back and wait upon the ill, naughty child.

That night, Gu Jingze still had a high fever.

Lin Che gave him medicine but he still did not seem to get better.

As Lin Che watched Gu Jingze’s complexion worsened, she started getting very worried too.

She could only sit by the bed and look at Gu Jingze. After taking his medicine, he slept very uncomfortably. She herself did not dare to doze off either.

When Lin Che heard him let out a sound, she hastily bent over and grabbed his hands. “Gu Jingze, what happened to you?”

Gu Jingze hummed. “Lin Che… ”

“Hn, I’m here.”

“Lin Che?”

“Here, here. I’m here.” Lin Che quickly clasped his hands tightly. She felt the sweat all over his palms and quickly picked up her phone. She wanted to go and make a call but she could still feel Gu Jingze pulling her. His brow was furrowed and he looked like he was in great agony.

Lin Che could only helplessly stay here and call Chen Yucheng. “Doctor Chen, Gu Jingze’s fever is high and it won’t subside. Do you want to come over and take a look?”

“Oh. How high is it?”

“It’s at 38.7 degrees Celsius.”

“That’s fine though. Look for me again if it hits 39 degrees Celsius.”

“You… ”

“I’m serious. The medicine he usually takes makes him susceptible to a high fever. His fever has even hit 41 degrees Celsius before. 38 degrees Celsius is nothing to him.”

“Are you serious… ”

“Hehe. If you’re so worried… you can do some exercises with him. Maybe he’ll simply get better after sweating a little.”

“He’s dizzy and groggy. What exercise can he even do?”

“Bedtime exercises.”

“You… ”

Chen Yucheng hung up the phone directly and left Lin Che with no choice. She looked at Gu Jingze while touching his forehead tenderly.

“Gu Jingze, get better quickly.”

“Gu Jingze, how are you feeling?”

She sensed that Gu Jingze’s mouth suddenly moved. His mouth seemed to be saying, “cold, cold.”

When Lin Che saw this, she went into a frenzy. She covered him with the blanket but it still did not seem to work.

Lin Che got anxious, immediately lifted the blanket with no hesitation, and burrowed herself under it.

She looked at Gu Jingze and hugged him tightly. She felt him touch her and he seemed to move closer to her instinctively. That feeling warmed her heart instantly for some strange reason. She pressed herself against his cheek and said softly, “Seriously. Why did you swim for so long for no reason?”

He woke up dazed and groggy. He seemed to see a woman beside him. She was moving her soft lips and looking at him. Her gentle complaints and her worried expression spoke louder than her words.

“Gu Jingze, are you awake? That’s great. You scared me to death.” As Lin Che embraced him, her body rubbed against his. The soft touch made his heart itch.

He lowered his head to look at Lin Che with squinted eyes. With a flip of his body, he suddenly hugged Lin Che.

“Ah… you… ”

Lin Che shouted in surprise but felt Gu Jingze brush his lips lightly over hers while saying, “Don’t go, don’t go… don’t go, alright?”

That sound nearly made Lin Che’s heart melt completely.

How could she still bear to leave?

“I won’t go… I won’t go.”

She rea.s.sured him as she laced her fingers into his hair.

That tender voice instantly made his expression tight. All of sudden, his arm wrapped around her body forcefully.

He hooked her head with his arm and deepened the kiss.

With great force, he squeezed between her lips with the boiling-hot tip of his tongue.
