Chapter 315 Taking care of her sick husband
Li Chenxu was really tired. He had originally planned to rest in bed for a while before washing up. But he fell asleep almost immediately after lying down.
He was fast asleep when he vaguely heard Mu Xiaoyu calling him. Her voice was somewhat anxious. He tried to open his eyes, but it felt as if something was covering them, making them heavy and requiring great effort to open them.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Xiaoyu squatting by the bed, looking at him with an anxious and worried expression.
Li Chenxu was a little confused by the situation. He stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a few seconds before finally asking, "Xiaoyu?"
When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was incredibly hoarse.
Mu Xiaoyu then reached out and touched Li Chenxu's forehead, and then said, "You have a fever!"
Her tone sounded like she was about to cry; it was just a simple cold, yet she was worried like this.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle. He held Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine. I probably caught a bit of a chill. I'll be fine after a nap."
"How can that be possible!"
Mu Xiaoyu immediately retorted, pulling her hand back as she spoke. She helped Li Chenxu take off his clothes, then laboriously pushed him further inside the blanket, and covered him with the blanket before saying breathlessly, "You should sleep for a while. The ginger soup should be ready by now. I'll go call the community doctor to come and take a look at you, just in case it gets serious."
Mu Xiaoyu was genuinely worried. Li Chenxu was in good health and rarely got sick. Even when he had a cold, Mu Xiaoyu had almost never seen Li Chenxu so weak before. It would be strange if she could remain calm.
Li Chenxu wanted to say something, but this cold came on so suddenly that his throat was hoarse and sore, making it difficult for him to speak.
Mu Xiaoyu noticed that Li Chenxu wanted to speak, so she bent down, touched his face, kissed his forehead, and said in a soft voice, "Okay, be good, don't talk, get some rest, okay?"
In front of Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu had always been weak and submissive. Most of the time, it was Mu Xiaoyu who relied on Li Chenxu. This was the first time she had taken care of Li Chenxu with such a strong and unyielding attitude.
Li Chenxu stared blankly at Mu Xiaoyu, who was so close to him, seemingly lost in thought. He gazed at Mu Xiaoyu for a long time before finally smiling and saying in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll rest well and stay still."
Hearing Li Chenxu's answer, Mu Xiaoyu nodded in satisfaction. Thinking of Li Chenxu's cold, she didn't linger any longer, grabbed a jacket, and went downstairs.
The community doctor was arranged by Mu Xiaoyu through the maid. Mu Xiaoyu served Li Chenxu a bowl of ginger soup, but didn't let him drink it immediately. The ginger soup had just been brewed and needed to be chilled in ice for a while to cool down.
She got a slightly cool towel and wiped Li Chenxu's forehead and face, as he was very hot due to his fever.
When Mu Xiaoyu was little, there was a mentally challenged man in the village. It was said that he had a cold and fever but did not seek medical treatment in time, which caused him to become mentally challenged.
This incident left a deep shadow on young Mu Xiaoyu's heart, so now Mu Xiaoyu is particularly afraid of Li Chenxu getting a fever.
“Brother Chenxu, open your eyes first and drink this bowl of ginger soup.”
After the ginger soup had warmed up, Mu Xiaoyu gently shook Li Chenxu, and it took her a while to wake him up.
Li Chenxu's cold had clearly worsened, and when Mu Xiaoyu woke him up, his gaze towards her was more unfocused than before. Mu Xiaoyu let Li Chenxu lean against her before feeding him the ginger soup.
Fortunately, the community doctor arrived quickly. Li Chenxu did have a rather serious cold, but a young man like him was in good health and didn't neglect his exercise.
So the doctor said that after taking the medicine and getting some rest, I would get better.
Mu Xiaoyu was still a little worried. Seeing that the community doctor was about to leave, she quickly stopped him and asked anxiously, "He still has a fever. Is it okay for him to take medicine?"
Perhaps seeing someone so anxious about a cold for the first time, the community doctor smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, don't worry. Mr. Li is in good health, and his fever isn't serious. After taking the medicine, the fever should subside in a few hours. However, Mr. Li still needs to rest well for a while. People like Mr. Li don't usually catch colds, but if they do, it's much more serious than for ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu nodded in agreement. She wanted to say something more, but then she realized that she had already said everything she needed to say. So in the end, she could only ask the maid to see the community doctor off.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't sleep that night, staying by Li Chenxu's side until his fever completely subsided and his breathing felt smoother than before. Only then did she lie down on the headboard and drift off to sleep.
Because of the medication, Li Chenxu woke up much later than usual. When he woke up, the discomfort he felt was much better than the night before. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, it was enough for him to ignore it.
He got out of bed and only then did he see Mu Xiaoyu lying face down beside the bed. Perhaps because sleeping face down beside the bed was not comfortable, even in her sleep, Mu Xiaoyu's brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked very uncomfortable.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this, Li Chenxu's heart softened completely. He moved quietly, got out of bed, and gently picked Mu Xiaoyu up.
However, Mu Xiaoyu was worried about Li Chenxu's cold, so she slept very lightly.
Just as Li Chenxu picked her up, Mu Xiaoyu woke up. She stared blankly at Li Chenxu holding her for two seconds, then reached out and touched his forehead. Seeing that the fever had subsided, she rested her head on Li Chenxu's chest and muttered, "You almost scared me to death."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu chuckled softly. As he carried Mu Xiaoyu toward the master bedroom, he said, "Get some rest today. Did you not sleep at all last night?"
"Not even for one night."
Mu Xiaoyu replied softly, then couldn't help but yawn, clutching Li Chenxu's clothes, and fell into a deep sleep.
She was so tired, and Li Chenxu's embrace was so warm and comfortable, that she fell asleep right away.
Li Chenxu knew that Mu Xiaoyu must have been exhausted last night, so after putting her on the bed, he didn't disturb her. He covered her with the blanket and was about to leave when Mu Xiaoyu grabbed his hand.
"Don't leave!"
