1796 She Was Already Pressed Onto The Bed

The room suddenly became quiet and Hexin felt quite uneasy.

“Are you feeling better?” Long Yin placed the bowl of medicine on the table at the head of the bed. He reached out to feel her forehead.

When the man’s warm palm suddenly touched her forehead, Hexin immediately reacted by backing away from him.

Long Yin raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. “I just wanted to check if you’re still having a fever.”

“My fever has subsided. I’m fine now,” Hexin replied quickly.

“Is that so? You’re not a physician, so your words don’t count,” Long Yin said without hesitation and placed his palm on her forehead. Before she was able to react, he checked her pulse as well.

He sat on the bed after a while. “Yup, your fever has subsided, but you’re still a little weak. It’s better for you to take the medicine.” With that, he picked up the bowl of medicine on the table and tried to feed her.

Hexin immediately said, “I’ll help myself.”

Long Yin did not force her and passed the bowl over to her.

Hexin finished the medicine in one gulp.

“I’m done.” She passed the empty bowl to him, hinting clearly that she wanted him to leave.

Long Yin glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. He took the empty bowl from her. “Have a good rest. I’ll get He’an to bring you some food over later.” With that, he stood up and walked out.

Hexin watched as he left. After some thought, she said, “Thank you, Big Bro Long Yin.”

“What?” Long Yin turned to look at her.

“Youyou told me everything. You took care of me by my side last night and didn’t get any rest. You should get some sleep. I’m fine now,” Hexin said in a small voice with her head lowered.

Long Yin smiled. “I will.”

The room was finally quiet and Hexin was relieved.

She was feeling much better at noontime and she got up to have a walk.

When it was time to have their meal, Long Yin did not appear. Hexin looked at Qi Heng questioningly. “Where’s Big Bro Long Yin?”

There was a slight flash in Qi Heng’s eyes and he sighed. He purposely put on a somber look as he said, “His Highness did not sleep the entire night as he was taking care of you. He looked like he was not feeling well—I think he must be catching up with some sleep. We shouldn’t disturb him for now.”

Hexin felt a little guilty when she heard this.

After their meal, Qi Heng brought a tray to her and said very quickly, “May I trouble Lady Hexin to bring this to His Highness? I need to bring He’an and the others out for some fun.” With that, he pulled Yuan You and He’an along—neither of whom had caught up with the situation—and hurried off.

Hexin did not have enough time to reject the request. She frowned as she watched the three of them run off.

Why did he ask her to deliver the tray?

However, the thought of Long Yin taking care of her the entire night made her feel that it was only appropriate that she delivered his food to him.

She sighed and picked up the tray, then walked toward Long Yin’s room.

“Are you awake, Big Bro Long Yin?” She knocked on the door and called out to him when she arrived outside Long Yin’s room.

It was quiet inside. She waited a while and began to feel a little worried when she remembered what Qi Heng had said.

She gave the door a push and realized the door had no latch, so she pushed it open and walked in.

The room was quiet and the bed netting was hung low. Big Bro Long Yin must still be sleeping.

Hexin thought about this as she placed the tray on the table. She wanted to leave but when she saw the tray of food left on the table, she was worried it would get cold. After some thought, she forced herself to go nearer to his bed and called out softly, “Big Bro Long Yin, wake up and have some food first. You can go back to sleep after that.”

When Hexin saw no reaction from him, she began to worry that he might be sick. She pushed the bed netting aside, planning to check his condition.

Long Yin had not slept at all the night before and he genuinely felt a little unwell in the morning. It was a sign that he might be getting sick, so he took some medicine before going to sleep, which made him sleep a little more soundly than usual.

However, he was still able to sense any minor movements in the room. His first thought was that an assassin had entered.

When Hexin pushed the bed netting aside, he immediately took action.

Before she knew what was happening, she was already pressed onto the bed.
