Chapter 88: Fever

Just like the past few times, he stayed in Su Ruan's room, Long Fei found himself waking up in the girl's embrace. They were so close that he could inhale her scent and feel her body temperature. Thinking how Su Ruan had hugged him close to her chest made him feel embarrassed.

However, this time, Long Fei did not have time to feel shy. The moment he woke up, Long Fei could feel that there was something wrong with Su Ruan.

He slithered out of her embrace and looked at Su Ruan's face. Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing was heavy and her cheek was reddened. Even in her sleep, Su Ruan looked very restless.

This time, it wasn't the same as the time she had dreamed of their childhood and his form as a dragon.

Long Fei touched her forehead and immediately took a step back.

Her body temperature was higher than he had thought. He stared at her for a long time, wondering what he was supposed to do in this situation.

Long Fei tried to wake her up but Su Ruan only curled her body into a fetal position and let out a whimper.

Her head was aching and her eyes were heavy. No matter how Long Fei moved her, Su Ruan was unable to wake up.

"Cold," Su Ruan whimpered. Even with the blanket on her body, Su Ruan still felt a little cold.

Noticing that she was seemed uncomfortable, Long Fei used his claw to pull the blanket to cover her body. However, this still was not enough to help her get well.

Long Fei scanned his eyes around the room and hesitated. After a while, Long Fei went into the corner and shifted into his human form.

He grabbed the towel at the side to cover his lower body and walked towards the bed again. Stretching his hand, Long Fei placed a hand on Su Ruan's forehead to test her temperature.

Just as he had expected, Su Ruan was having a fever. Moreover, her temperature was higher than he had thought.

His brow furrowed as he looked at her. She was still fine when he entered her room last night. When did she suddenly develop a fever?

A while later, Long Fei recalled how Su Ruan had left her windows slightly open when he came to her bedroom. He quickly concluded that perhaps she had caught a fever due to the cold air.

As the thought came to his mind, Long Fei felt a little guilty. He knew that Su Ruan had let her window open to let him in. It seemed that Su Ruan had caught a fever because she was waiting for him.

A heavy breath escaped him. However, his lips curled into a helpless smile "You little fool." He stood up and stayed in her bedroom to look after her.

…

Su Ruan woke up in the morning with a parched throat. The moment she moved to sit on her bed, her head started to throb. As the pain subsided, Su Ruan looked around the room with a dazed look on her face.

It was then that she realized that her pajama was a little damp.

It seemed that she had a fever last night and had sweated profusely.

Su Ruan moved to the side table, wanting to pour herself a glass of water. After a few mouthfuls of drinks, Su Ruan felt a little better.

Just as she had put the glass down, an image suddenly appeared on her head, making her face a little red.

Why would she suddenly imagine a topless man sitting on her bed while wiping her face with a wet towel? Although the image was not very clear and she could not see his face, at least his abs were very good-looking.

Su Ruan widened her eyes and quickly dispel that thought in her head.

It seemed that her fever had started to make her imagine strange things. Or was it that she had not dated anyone years that she started to feel hungry?

Su Ruan was surprised by her own thought. She slapped her face twice and finally stood up. She really needed to wash her face with cold water and wake up.

After washing her face, Su Ruan headed downstairs and saw her mother wiping some cutlery in the dining room. She walked over to her mother and called, "Mom…" Su Ruan dragged her words, sounding coquettish. She hugged her mother from her back and placed her chin on her mother's shoulder.

Ma Zheng Zheng laughed. She tried to turn and look at her daughter but could not move that much. "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting like a baby?"

"Mom, I think I have a fever."

"Ah?" Ma Zheng Zheng placed the cutlery on the table and turned around. Su Ruan's pale lips scared her. She looked at her daughter worriedly and placed her hand on Su Ruan's forehead.

Feeling the temperature on her daughter's forehead, Ma Zheng Zheng finally let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, her fever was not that high.

"When did this happen? Have you eaten any medicine?"

"No. I didn't have any. I came to ask if you have any medicine."

Ma Zheng Zheng quickly turned to look for medicine for her daughter. "That's right. Sit down and have something to eat first. Then, go back to your room and rest."

Su Ruan watched as her mother walked around worriedly. Now that she was having a fever, Su Ruan only wanted to act like a baby to her mother.

Thinking about it, she had grown up mostly without her mother by her side. In the past, whenever she had a fever, it was her paternal grandmother who would often look after her.

Suddenly, her nose stung and Su Ruan began to hug her mother again.

Her movement surprised Ma Zheng Zheng. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Ruan put her chin on her mother's shoulder again. Her mother's scent entered her nose, making her feel calmer. "Mom, it's really nice to have you around."

Ma Zheng Zheng paused when she heard her words. Her lips gradually turned into a helpless smile. She hugged her daughter and patted Su Ruan on her back. Ma Zheng Zheng seemed to understand what her daughter was thinking about and felt distressed.

As the mother, she always felt guilty that she had not spent a lot of time watching her daughter grow up. Fortunately, this girl had not blamed them for their divorce. The thought made her hug Su Ruan a little tighter.

At this time Ma Zheng Zheng realized that after her daughter returned to this town, she had not spent much time accompanying her daughter.
