Chapter 140

Su Ziyue was sharp; she sensed Qin Muchen’s oddness. Hence, she took his hand away from her to leave his

embrace and sat up.

When she sat across Qin Muchen, she looked him in the eyes. “There’s no news at all?”

Although Qin Muchen did not avoid her gaze, he frowned, and his emotion was hard to gauge. “It happened over a

decade ago and some of the officers who had dealt with your father’s case were already retired.”

“Oh…” Su Ziyue could obviously feel that Qin Muchen was upset.

He seems to feel troubled by my question. Or perhaps I am just overthinking things?

“I’m taking a shower first.” Qin Muchen stroked her head and walked to the bathroom.

After closing the bathroom door, Qin Muchen turned on the shower and switched it to cold water.

After taking a cold shower in such cool weather, Qin Muchen unfortunately caught a flu and a fever, despite his

usual general health.

In the next morning, Su Ziyue was awakened by the scorching figure beside her.

After crawling out of Qin Muchen’s arms habitually, she reached out for her phone to check the time.

4 a.m. It’s still early.

Just when she was about to curl up for some more sleep, she sensed that something was wrong with Qin Muchen.

“Qin Muchen?”

After feeling his unusually warm body, Su Ziyue hurriedly reached out to touch his forehead. As expected, it was

shockingly hot.

She nudged him again and called, “Qin Muchen! Wake up.”

“Don’t make a fuss. Let’s sleep a little longer… It’s still early…” Qin Muchen reluctantly opened his eyes, which were

filled with tears of sleepiness.

While speaking, he stretched his long arms to the other side of the bed, but he failed to pull the woman into his

arms. This made him frown in discontent and open his eyes wider. When he managed to see clearer than before,

he just pulled Su Ziyue into his arms and then lay back satisfactorily.

He said hoarsely, “It’s okay. Let’s sleep a little bit more.” Then, he even patted on her back gently.

Su Ziyue pursed her lips. How can he still want to sleep when he already has a high fever! Qin Muchen usually

doesn’t behave as such.

It took Su Ziyue great effort to get out of his arms again. She put on her slippers and went downstairs to take an ice

bag before quickly running back. Then, she applied it on his forehead.

As it had been raining since the previous day and the heating downstairs was not turned on, the temperature there

was freezing. This made Su Ziyue, who had just come back from downstairs, feel that her hands and feet were

frozen.

While pressing the ice bag with a hand, Su Ziyue got back into the bed with some difficulty.

Since she had brought in the cold air with her, Qin Muchen, who was on a high fever, felt comfortable upon feeling

her cold body.

When he took her into his arms, he let out a sigh of relief, he still said somewhat grudgingly, “Where have you

been? You’re so cold.”

His words made Su Ziyue frown and she pressed the ice bag in her hand harder on him. “Are you aware that you’re

having a fever now?”

“Mmh.” Qin Muchen squinted at her and closed his eyes soon.

Qin Muchen did not talk much when he was sick. After a short while, he fell asleep again.

Throughout the whole time, Su Ziyue was applying the ice bag on his forehead. Her hands were numb when the ice

finally melted completely.

At this moment, the sun had already risen, and it was her usual time to get up. After washing up, she went to feel

the temperature of Qin Muchen’s forehead again.

It’s still so hot. He really needs a doctor.

Su Ziyue went downstairs to pour him a cup of water. After feeding him some, she gave Lu Shichu a call.

“Ziyue?” Lu Shichu sounded fully awake. He was probably still at home or even at the hospital already because the

other end of the phone was quiet.

As Su Ziyue was worried about Qin Muchen, she went straight to the point. “Shichu, Qin Muchen is on a fever now.

Can you come here and take a look at him?”

Upon saying that, she felt bad about it and was going to say that she could bring Qin Muchen to the hospital, but

she heard Lu Shichu telling her, “I’ll be there shortly.”

Lu Shichu reached soon.

“Is he still conscious? Has the fever gone down?” Lu Shichu asked about Qin Muchen’s condition upon walking in.

Su Ziyue did not look well because she had woken up too early. She was visibly anxious as she said, “I tried bringing

his fever down by applying an ice bag on his forehead, his body still feels quite hot.”

Lu Shichu noticed the anxiety in her eyes, so he quietly followed her to the bedroom.

When the duo entered the room, they saw Qin Muchen sitting on the bed. His usual expressionless face was now

flushed due to the fever; his eyes looked teary, showing that he was obviously sick as he sat there looking like a lost

puppy.

Su Ziyue quickly walked toward him upon seeing him sitting there in his thin pajamas. “Why did you sit up?”

“Where were you?” Fixing his gaze on her, Qin Muchen sounded and looked stubborn despite letting her cover him

with the blanket without resistance.

“You’re sick, so I’ve gone to find you a doctor.” Su Ziyue kept an eye on Qin Muchen’s face and his lost expression

made her certain that his mind was already fuzzy due to the fever.

When the couple was speaking, Lu Shichu had already put his medical kit aside and took out a thermometer. Then,

he walked to Qin Muchen and said, “Hold it in your mouth.”

Qin Muchen turned his gaze to Lu Shichu and furrowed his attractive brows at once. “Why are you here?”

“Didn’t I tell you just now? I’ve gone to find a doctor and Shichu is here to treat you.”

“Shichu?” Qin Muchen arched his brow and then cast a glance at Lu Shichu. “Let him leave, or else my condition

will worsen.”

Why does he sound so moody?

Lu Shichu looked at Qin Muchen expressionlessly, “If it hadn’t been Ziyue who called me, do you think that I would

have been here to treat you?”

By looking at Qin Muchen’s heavy eyelids, Lu Shichu could obviously tell that the former’s energy was drained.

However, Qin Muchen still said hostilely, “You can leave if you don’t wish to be here.”

Lu Shichu narrowed his eyes at him. “Why do I need to listen to whatever you say?”

“You can leave if you don’t wish to listen to me!”

Su Ziyue was rendered speechless.

Why do I have a feeling that Qin Muchen is a couple with Lu Shichu instead of me? Besides, she found herself in an

entirely new world when facing the sick Qin Muchen; she had never expected Qin Muchen to be this stubborn when

he was ill.

Lu Shichu handed the thermometer to Su Ziyue. “Place this under his tongue to take his temperature.”

“Okay.” Su Ziyue turned around and brought it to Qin Muchen’s lips. “Here, let’s take your temperature.”

However, Qin Muchen just turned his head away. He had no wish to hold the thermometer in his mouth because it

looked stupid. Moreover, his potential love rival was standing before him now.

Throwing the blanket off himself, he dragged himself out of the bed and looked at Lu Shichu. “I’ll be fine after

taking some fever medication.”

Lu Shichu said without looking up, “Your temperature needs to be taken before taking the medicine.”

“There’s no need for that,” Qin Muchen retorted with a serious expression, as though he was the doctor instead of

Lu Shichu.

Lu Shichu looked at him in bafflement. Just when he was going to say something else, Su Ziyue cut him short.

Being quick-witted, Su Ziyue said, “Before you recover, we’ll sleep in separate rooms. I believe that you don’t want

to infect me too, right?”

Upon hearing her words, Qin Muchen's initially blank gaze became piercingly cold at once. This made Su Ziyue

shudder out of fear. “A-Actually, we can just go without taking your temperature…”
