Chi Ying's dreams were mostly about warmth. She also had nightmares, but at most, she would wake up in a cold sweat and return to normal after a few seconds of rest. She rarely saw people like this because of sleep talk. She didn't know if it was because Lu Jingyan was having a fever, or because it had become a habitual sleep disorder like Jiang Chong had said. Chi Ying hoped that it wasn't normal.
She washed the towel again to make it wet and warm, then wiped the sweat on Lu Jingyan's forehead. They kept seeping out and soon wet his shirt. The ironed shirt, which was usually meticulously ironed, became wrinkled. She hadn't sweated so much even when she ran 800 meters in the high school PE entrance exam, not to mention that Lu Jingyan was still having a fever. She was worried that he would become dehydrated if he kept sweating like this.
Chi Ying went to the kitchen to mix some salt water, but the man's thin lips were tighter than before, and the corners of his lips were purple. She held his head a little higher with her hand, but it was still difficult to feed him water.
Chi Ying sighed and could only give up. Lu Jingyan was as stubborn in his sleep as he was when he was awake.
She subconsciously smoothed Lu Jingyan's eyebrows with her hand. Chi Ying didn't know why she did this … She just felt that such a deep frown was really worrying. She knew that as the heir of the Lu Corporation, Lu Jingyan had always been calm and steady. It was hard to imagine that he would have such a fragile side.
She didn't know whether it was because of her intentional or unintentional comfort, or because Lu Jingyan's nightmare had worn off. His eyebrows gradually relaxed, and the sweat was not as thick as before. Her tightened heart also relaxed.
This might be the first time she had such close contact with Lu Jingyan. Chi Ying found that his eyebrows were much more delicate than she had imagined, and his skin was very good. Even at such a close distance, it was impeccable.
It was already dark outside the window, and the rain didn't stop. Although their vision was hazy, the distant mountains that resembled giant beasts and the serene ancient scholar tree forest still gave people a kind of invisible pressure and fear.
Perhaps it was because in her previous life, she had also met the fortune teller in a faraway mountain in a locust tree forest. Chi Ying felt a little nervous. She didn't dare to look outside. Instead, she felt that looking at the man would make her feel more at ease.
Chi Ying supported her head with one hand and lay beside his bed. He didn't know when she had fallen asleep.
When Lu Jingyan woke up in the middle of the night, cold sweat poured down like a waterfall. The scorching temperature of his body almost made his hoarse throat cough. Groan. He realized that he was sick, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Chi Ying sleeping soundly beside him. For a moment, all the discomfort was forgotten.
Her long black hair fell on her snow-white shoulders, and her beautiful and exquisite collarbone could be vaguely seen. Her long eyelashes trembled as she breathed evenly, casting a shadow. Her temperament was gentle and quiet.
Lu Jingyan's dark eyes were dazed for a moment, and then they revealed deep surprise and joy, as well as a touch of confusion and confusion. His trembling hand touched her soft cheek, as if this was the only way to confirm that she really existed.
Lu Jingyan's heart suddenly surged with strong expectations. He hoped that every time he woke up, he would be able to see her by his pillow. Perhaps this way, he wouldn't have to be so nervous and anxious. This kind of warm and reassuring feeling made him yearn for it uncontrollably. Just thinking about the daily necessities with her made him feel a rich sense of happiness.
Lu Jingyan's violently beating heart calmed down because of Chi Ying's well-being, and then it began to beat violently again because of his wild thoughts.
Lu Jingyan's eyes flashed, and then he gently and carefully carried Chi Ying to the bed next door.
She was very light, and her body was very soft. Her skin was so delicate that it could be broken by the wind, like a fragile piece of art.
Thousands of thoughts surged in his mind, but his heart softened. When he thought about how she might have helped him lie down not long ago, his pale lips couldn't help but curve up, and his tense jaw softened.
The rain continued to fall, turning the entire world cold, but a sense of longing suddenly appeared in the silent cabin.

The typhoon passed through, and the whole country was filled with thunderstorms and rain.
Although the villas in the west of the city didn't stand alone in the wilderness, the distance between the houses was far and sparse, giving people the illusion that they were detached from the world and independent.
Streaks of dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire room in an instant. The thunder rumbled, and bean-sized raindrops pitter-pattered against the window, carrying a sense of urgency and fierceness.
Chi Cheng's small body curled up under the blanket, and only his small head peeked out from under the thin blanket. This kind of weather made him very afraid, and his soft child's voice trembled slightly. "Grandma, why isn't mom back yet?"
Chi Cheng's mother looked out of the window with a serious expression. The wind was strong, and the thunderstorm showed no signs of stopping for a while. She frowned and said, "Mom's flight was delayed because of the thunderstorm."
Chi Cheng's big watery eyes were ignorant and innocent. He raised his small eyebrows and asked, "What's flight smoke?"
Chi Cheng's mother realized that Chi Cheng was still a child. Her tone became gentle, and she tried to simplify the meaning of her words.
"It's raining heavily outside, so it's difficult for mom's plane to take off."
Chi Cheng remembered that it would be difficult for birds to flap their wings in the rain, and they would crash into the nest or under the eaves. They would only take off again when the weather cleared up. He nodded solemnly.
"I understand."
After a few seconds, Chi Cheng frowned again. "But mom didn't call me."
Chi Ying's mother fell silent for a moment. She had called Chi Ying many times today, but the mechanical female voice had repeatedly said, "The phone is turned off." However, she subconsciously believed that Chi Ying was trapped at the airport. Perhaps it was because of the storm in the mountains, so the signal wasn't very good.
However, Chi Cheng looked nervous and uneasy. Chi Cheng's mother asked him, "Chengcheng, if you're worried, should I ask uncle to check on mom?"
Chi Cheng shook his head stubbornly. "No."
Chi Cheng's mother was confused. "What's wrong?"
