Chapter 213: Taking Care of Li Beijue Personally

"Can't get through?" Jiang Baobao's two slender eyebrows instantly knit together.

The temperature of Li Beijue's head was so hot it could almost fry an egg; if he kept burning like this and developed pneumonia, it would be even more troublesome!

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds, reached out to take the medicine, and looked at it: "Take the fever reducer first. There are fever-reducing patches in here, too; use one in a moment. If his fever breaks tonight, there shouldn't be any major problems. If it doesn't work, have the Doctor come over as soon as the rain lets up, or we'll go to the Hospital."

Jiang Baobao was very calm, and as she spoke, she tentatively reached out and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, she heard Li Beijue respond in a low voice.

Only then did the group push the door open and walk in.

On the bed, Li Beijue had already changed into dry pajamas. His expression was not as sharp as usual; instead, he looked a bit weary, and his complexion was an unnatural flush—one look and it was obvious he was sick.

"Zheng Bo, have the kitchen boil some porridge," Jiang Baobao instructed in a low voice.

Zheng Bo nodded and turned to leave.

The three little ones also followed quietly by Jiang Baobao's side, watching Li Beijue without blinking.

"Mommy, let us stay and help you take care of Daddy..."

Yanbao spoke in a small voice, standing obediently by Li Beijue's bedside with his little face pulled tight.

"You all go back to sleep obediently in a bit," Jiang Baobao replied quickly, casually taking out two fever-reducing pills and bringing over the hot water that had been placed by the bedside.

"Take the medicine and go to sleep."

She said this offhandedly and placed both the water glass and the pills into Li Beijue's hand.

Li Beijue paused slightly; it felt as if his heart had been lightly scratched by a kitten's paw.

So this was what it felt like to be taken care of when sick?

It seemed... not bad.

A trace of a smile flashed rapidly across his eyes, but unable to withstand the exhaustion brought on by the fever, he simply took the fever medicine and lay back down on the bed.

Mobai and Yanbao immediately sat on either side of the bed, and even Tiantian did not leave, staring at Li Beijue on the bed with a nervous expression.

"Daddy, get some good rest..." Yanbao looked at Li Beijue with heartache and said in a low voice.

Li Beijue nodded, suddenly feeling a warmth in his heart.

Watching from the side, Jiang Baobao also felt a sense of relief.

Half an hour later, Li Beijue finally couldn't hold on any longer and, under the influence of the medicine, fell into a groggy sleep.

Jiang Baobao and the three little ones had stayed by his side the whole time; seeing him asleep, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you three go back to your rooms to sleep. Daddy will be fine once he wakes up..."

Jiang Baobao lowered her voice and stood up, intending to take the three little ones back to their rooms.

But unexpectedly, she heard Mobai ask: "Mommy, aren't you staying here to keep Daddy company?"

As the little one asked, his eyes couldn't help but glance toward the large bed.

If Mommy stayed here tonight, she would have to sleep with Daddy!

Jiang Baobao's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at the person sleeping on the bed with some hesitation.

She had already been taking care of him for half a day; was she supposed to stay here the whole night?

She wasn't actually here to be a nanny!

Besides, the two of them had no relationship right now... there was no need for her to be this "attentive," right?

Jiang Baobao looked at Li Beijue with complicated feelings, her expression hesitant.

Mobai, however, quietly tugged at Yanbao's hand.

Yanbao instantly understood Mobai's meaning and immediately spoke up in a low voice: "Mommy, then you go back to your room to rest. We'll watch over Daddy here. Mommy worked all day, you must be very tired..."

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao gave a bitter laugh in her heart and sighed helplessly.

Were these two little ones intentionally giving her a hard time?

How could she let them stay here and watch over him all night?

Zheng Bo was also getting on in years; she couldn't let him stay up all night here...

After thinking it over, Jiang Baobao suddenly felt the "burden" on her shoulders was a bit heavy.

"Forget it, Mommy will stay. You three go back to sleep obediently; you can rest easy now, right?" Jiang Baobao pinched Yanbao's little face, her expression helpless, but there was nothing else she could do for now.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yanbao's little face instantly lit up with spirit, and he hurriedly nodded.

Mobai also spoke up from the side: "Mommy sleeping next to Daddy tonight is fine too! That way you can take care of Daddy at any time!"

Jiang Baobao was suddenly choked by her own breath, and for a moment, she simply didn't know what to say.

She knew those two were up to this!

Even if she stayed here to take care of him, she would absolutely not get into this bed!

Jiang Baobao thought helplessly. Seeing it was already almost eleven o'clock at night, she hurriedly waved her hand toward the door and said quickly in a low voice: "You all hurry back to sleep, don't worry about anything else!"

The three little ones nodded obediently, took one more look at Li Beijue on the bed, and then turned and left the bedroom.

Watching them walk up the stairs, Jiang Baobao finally closed the bedroom door helplessly and sat back down on the sofa by the bed, her eyes subconsciously scanning the bedroom.

It was truly incredible...

When she left back then, she never could have dreamed there would be a scene like this today.

Jiang Baobao shook her head with a smile. Seeing Li Beijue sleeping soundly, she simply lay down on the sofa and took out her phone, intending to watch the video of the previous competition for a while.

But not long after, she suddenly heard a tiny sound coming from the bed.

"Li Beijue?"

Jiang Baobao sat up abruptly and subconsciously called out to Li Beijue.

Li Beijue gave no response; it seemed he was just muttering something in a low voice.

Feeling uneasy, Jiang Baobao had no choice but to get off the sofa and sit by the bedside to check on his condition again.

She removed the fever-reducing patch from Li Beijue's forehead and tested his temperature again.

Feeling his temperature, she realized it had already dropped compared to when she first entered the room, and only then did she feel relieved.

It seemed the fever-reducing medicine had taken effect...

Someone who looked so strong and robust should be fine after sleeping for one night, right?

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, and just as she intended to get up and leave, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone!

"Hey! What are you doing?" Jiang Baobao was startled, thinking that Li Beijue had already woken up.

Li Beijue squinted his eyes, carefully sizing up the person in front of him, wanting to see more clearly, but no matter what, everything felt somewhat blurry.

"Li Beijue? Why are you grabbing me?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but ask.

Thinking that the person on the bed was still ill, her tone softened unconsciously, unlike the way the two of them usually sparred with each other.

As Li Beijue heard this, his heart suddenly felt as if it had been pricked by something sharp and tiny.

Jiang Baobao... was taking care of him?

Li Beijue's expression was somewhat puzzled, as if he were wondering whether this was reality or a dream.
