Mu Jiuyue sank down on the bed, daring not to put her feet on the ground. She looked at the stunned maid, asking in surprise, "Will you apply medicine to me?"

"Yes, yes." the maid came to her sense immediately. Then she helped Mu Jiuyue to sit up.

The maid pondered, ‘It seems that I should treat Mu Jiuyue well in the future. Not only was she carried into the room by Mr. Su, but she was not punished even though she gave him a slap!’ 

Mu Jiuyue looked down at her swollen ankle, not noticing the maid's sizing up.

At 1:00 am, the light in the study was still on.

Su Feng'ao pinched his ophryon, looking so tired.

He glanced around the room and then set his sights on the black file packet on the desk aside, which was the one that Mu Jiuyue had been holding in her arms today.

He thought for a while and walked over there.

Seeing that the water on the packet had dried up, he opened it. The things inside were well protected and not wet.

He leafed through the stuff, finding that all these were Mu Jiuyue's survey data filled with notes.

After browsing for a while, he put them back. Then he took the packet and went to Mu Jiuyue's room.

There was dim light coming from Mu Jiuyue's room. It seemed that she hadn't slept yet.

Su Feng'ao knocked at the door, but he didn't hear the response from the room. Then he found the door was not locked.

There was a deep frown on Su Feng'ao's face. He pushed the door open, finding that the temperature in the room was very low. At the moment, Mu Jiuyue was lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt. An abnormally pink flush spread over her cheeks.

Su Feng'ao trotted forward and reached out his hand to touch Mu Jiuyue's forehead. He looked quite worried when finding her forehead was burning.

He picked up the remote control and turned up the air conditioner. Then he sat on the bedside, tapping her face gently."Mu Jiuyue, wake up."

Mu Jiuyue felt as if she had a long dream, in which her family had not yet gone bankrupt, her grandfather was still with her and she was still the Miss Mu who feared nothing. 

She frowned, feeling that someone was calling her. Then she opened the eyes with difficulty, seeing that Su Feng'ao's face suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Su Feng'ao?" She struggled to utter the few words. Her voice was low and hoarse.

The two of them looked at each other. Su Feng'ao said coldly, "Do you want me to bury your dead body tomorrow?"

"Have I got a fever?" Mu Jiuyue was confused. When she tried to reach out to touch her forehead, Su Feng'ao stopped her suddenly.

"Don't move." With these words, Su Feng'ao strode out of the room, which puzzled Mu Jiuyue.

Mu Jiuyue smiled in self-mockery looking at Su Feng'ao’s receding figure. 

‘What am I thinking? How can he care about me!’ 

Mu Jiuyue shook her head, feeling rather thirsty. When she was about to get up to drink some water, she was frightened by a sudden hoot from outside.

"Mu Jiuyue, what are you doing!" Mu Jiuyue's hands trembled and the water in the glass spilled on the quilt, which made the quilt soggy.

Mu Jiuyue looked at the wet quilt, feeling distressed. ‘Whoops, my quilt! How do I sleep tonight!’ 

"Uncle Su, can you stop talking so loud? I am a patient!" Mu Jiuyue leaned against the bed, faint and weak. Even so, she spoke in a tone that made others want to give her a spanking.

"I think you are too lively." With a cup of warm water in one hand and medicine in the other, Su Feng'ao handed them to Mu Jiuyue.

A look of surprise flashed across Mu Jiuyue's eyes. Then she heard the man say coldly, "Are you afraid I'll poison you?"

Mu Jiuyue shook her head at once. But instead of reaching for the glass of water, she took a few steps back. Then she gave him an embarrassed smile. "Uncle Su, just put them here, and I will take the medicine later."

She had always been reluctant to take medicine since childhood. She would rather die than take medicine!

"Do you want me to feed you?" Su Feng'ao lifted his eyebrows and took a few steps forward.

Mu Jiuyue waved her hand with fear. "No, no, no. Uncle Su, how can I bother you?"

Without saying a word, Su Feng'ao looked at Mu Jiuyue with a half smile.

After a moment’s mental struggle, Mu Jiuyue took the water and medicine from Su Feng'ao, closed her eyes and swallowed the medicine at one fling.

This was the first time that she had ever taken a pill without hesitation.

"I'm gonna go to bed." Mu Jiuyue quickly covered her head with the quilt.

Su Feng'ao's sights fell on the wet quilt and sheet.

‘How can she sleep with such a wet quilt?’ 

Su Feng'ao carried Mu Jiuyue into his arms directly.

"Ah? What are you doing?" Mu Jiuyue was startled when she was lifted up suddenly. Subconsciously, she put her arms around Su Feng'ao's neck. Their eyes suddenly met at such a close distance.

Sensing the nervousness of Mu Jiuyue, Su Feng'ao raised his eyebrows and twitched the corners of his lips. "I am not interested in little girls."

"Uncle Su, being young is our greatest asset!" Mu Jiuyue retorted discontentedly.

Su Feng'ao carried her into his room, saying lightly, "Sleep now."

After leaving two words, he was about to leave. Mu Jiuyue shouted suddenly, "Uncle Su!"

"What?" He tilted his head slightly.

"Thank you."

Su Feng'ao curled his lips, heading for the door.

The moon outside the window was high above, clear and bright. The people in the room were deeply asleep..

Mu Jiuyue’s illness came and went easily. When she woke up the next day, she almost recovered.

However, it was late in the morning when she woke up. When she was in a hurry to get herself ready to go to work, she was stopped by the maid she met yesterday.

"Miss Mu."

Mu Jiuyue turned her head and looked at the maid in bewilderment. The maid looked somewhat worried.

"Mr. Su told me that you don't have to go to the company today."

Now it was Mu Jiuyue's turn to be surprised. ‘When does Su Feng'ao become so caring?’
