The scene was dead silent for a while.

What was abominable was that after tossing about, Li Chengyuan finally exhausted his strength, swayed, and fell straight down. This left Xia Xingchi alone to try his best to explain that the two of them were not performing content prohibited to those under eighteen.

But Dr. Zhao only jokingly said "An explanation is a cover-up," with an expression as if he had discovered a new world, making Xia Xingchi even more embarrassed. Incidentally, he strongly doubted that this crooked "doctor" who was wearing pajamas and cotton slippers was really reliable.

Fortunately, Zhao Yinhe's proficiency successfully proved that he was fairly trustworthy. Xia Xingchi heaved a sigh of relief and then became angry, wanting to curse Li Chengyuan, that instigator.

Unexpectedly, this person was now so fragile that one dared not touch or scold him —

The stomach medicine didn't seem to have worked. Li Chengyuan's face was pale, his long eyelashes were moist with cold sweat, and he was curled up while gritting his teeth silently.

"It looks like stomach cramps." Zhao Yinhe lifted the bottle. "He vomited even after taking the medicine, so we can only try to make him lie flat, apply hot compresses, or give him a gentle massage."

Speaking of taking medicine, Xia Xingchi had been very worried that he would be poisoned after taking so many antipyretics, but the result was that he staggered into the bathroom and vomited in the dark as soon as an IV was attached.

The intravenous drip had to be reinserted into a different arm.

Seeing him in pain at this moment, Xia Xingchi unconsciously clenched his fists. He had no choice but to reach out and grip his ice-cold fingers, using the other hand to gently help him rub his stomach.

After Zhao Yinhe finished his work, he began idling again and immersed himself in the suspected romantic scene just moments ago. He was honestly shaken for a long time and couldn't extricate himself —

Although Mr. Zhao had seen plenty of erotic scenes, if the other party was Li Chengyuan, who was like an ironwood tree, then it was a different matter.

Therefore, when Xia Xingchi turned his head, he saw the teasing expressions of "You love him so much" and "He loves you so much" written all over the face of this casual and familiar doctor.

He even smiled ambiguously and said: "If his fever hasn't subsided after taking the antipyretic injection, you can help him take a bath. The physical cooling effect is very good."

It was true that antipyretics were almost useless to Li Chengyuan, who was gradually becoming resistant to them. They were almost pointless apart from making his stomach hurt more, and only physical cooling could be used instead.

But from Zhao Yinhe's mouth, these words were quite indecent.

Xia Xingchi was rather skeptical of this unreliable doctor's methods, suspecting that he was only forcing his hand to get the two to cooperate together: "Really? Has anyone cooled him down like this before?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Yinhe only thought that the lawfully wedded wife was drinking vinegar. "Don't worry, who else would dare to strip him naked and take a bath?"

The two were not on the same channel at all. Xia Xingchi was astonished: "Then he's had such a fever before? What should we do if his body temperature can't be lowered?"

Even an iron-strong body couldn't stand continuous high fevers, not to mention Li Chengyuan's fragile condition. Could it be that he died like this?

In the past two days, he had tried his best to observe what disease had caused Li Chengyuan's mortal end, so that he could find a loophole and let him live longer. But looking at it now, this was not checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, this was simply Nuwa mending the heavens, ah.
