Chapter 811 - 808: Sick Again (Part 3)
The next day, when Shen Qinglan opened her eyes, she just felt parched, weak all over, and her eyelids were extremely heavy. It took a long effort to open them slowly.Even so, her vision was still blurry, and her consciousness somewhat hazy.
"Water..." she whispered softly.
Duan Yunfei, who was sitting by the bed resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, only to hear Shen Qinglan mumble again, "Water..."
"Water?" Duan Yunfei hurriedly said, "I’ll get it for you!"
He got up somewhat hastily, hitting his knee directly on the edge of the bed, yet it seemed as if he didn’t notice at all. He quickly went to the table to pour some water and then carefully fed it to Shen Qinglan.
After drinking the water, Shen Qinglan mumbled a few words, but her voice was too soft, and her eyes seemed neither open nor closed. Even though Duan Yunfei, with his keen ears, leaned over to her mouth, he still couldn’t hear what she was saying.
After a while, Shen Qinglan closed her eyes again and fell into a deep sleep once more.
Duan Yunfei quickly tested her forehead temperature with his hand. Seeing that the temperature had gone down and hearing the steady breathing beside him, he felt more at ease. With this relaxation, he finally felt exhausted.
He supported himself up and left a gentle kiss on her forehead. Perhaps the stubble on his lips was prickly, as Shen Qinglan furrowed her brow slightly but didn’t open her eyes, just changed to a more comfortable position and fell asleep again.
Duan Yunfei seemed to remember something, wiping his chin with his hand, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He tucked the corners of her blanket, repeatedly confirming several times whether her fever had gone down, then got up and quietly left the room.
"Yunfei!"
"Young Master!"
Called out to him, Le Zhao and Xuan Ying, who were guarding outside the door, both showed delight.
Le Zhao glanced into the room and asked in a low voice, "How is Miss Shen?"
Duan Yunfei did not rush to answer his question but raised his eyes to look at the glow in the sky, then said in a hoarse voice, "The fever has subsided."
"Really? That’s great!" Xuan Ying clasped his hands together, genuinely relieved.
"Tang Su has already prepared hot water in the study. Do you need me to bring it for you?" Le Zhao asked.
Xuan Ying said, "I’ll go get it!"
"Have you both not rested?" Duan Yunfei looked at them and said, "Go back and rest first, I’ll wash up myself."
He knew clearly that in his current state, Le Zhao and Xuan Ying wouldn’t be able to rest easy.
"Can you manage on your own?" Le Zhao was somewhat doubtful since he seemed extraordinarily exhausted.
This was definitely the most disheveled he had seen Duan Yunfei since knowing him.
No matter how severe the injuries in the past, his face had always been clean as if untouched by dust.
But this time, the face was covered with stubble, and against his fair skin, the bruises under his eyes were clearly visible.
Duan Yunfei smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, I won’t die."
"In that case, we’ll head back first!"
Le Zhao finished speaking, let out a long yawn, and looked at Xuan Ying with tears in his eyes, "Let’s go, we should rest too."
"Huh?" Xuan Ying was stunned but quickly waved his hand, "I’m not going back!"
"Let’s go!" Le Zhao increased his strength, directly dragging him away.
In these few days, neither of them dared to sleep, and it could be said that, aside from their cleaner faces, they were no less fatigued than Duan Yunfei.
Seeing the two walk away, Duan Yunfei withdrew his gaze, left his courtyard, and headed towards the kitchen.
When Shen Qinglan woke up again, it was already noon. She looked down and found her clothes had been changed to new ones, her body had no sticky or unpleasant smell. It seemed that Duan Yunfei must have wiped her clean.
She wanted to turn over but found herself feeling weak all over. After thinking it over, she could only lay there lazily with her eyes open.
