Chapter 825: Chapter 829 We are a natural match
Gu Junzhu shook his head, “I have no appetite.”
Ye Xingbei coaxed him, “You still need to eat sothing. Eating more helps you resist illness. You don’t want to always be sick and have taking care of you, do you?”
“No, actually,” Gu Junzhu said, “I find being taken care of by you quite pleasant.”
“…” Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow, “Are you asking for a beating?”
“Alright then,” as a patient being cared for, the Fifth Lord of Gu conceded with a slight grudge, “I’ll just have so porridge then, make it thin, preferably just the soup without any rice.”
Ye Xingbei chuckled, gave him a glance, got ready to make the porridge, but he caught her hand, “Let the kitchen do it. You don’t need to go. Making porridge isn’t a skilled task. Let them work. You stay with .”
...
Ye Xingbei sat back down next to him and called the kitchen, “…make so porridge, add more rice, cook it longer… Yes, make it thick.”
Gu Junzhu: “…”
Alright then.
He was the patient, and it was a hardship for his wife to care for him, so he would listen to his wife.
After Gu Junzhu finished the porridge, he broke out in a sweat again.
Ye Xingbei had him take his temperature once more.
37.5 degrees.
Ye Xingbei breathed a sigh of relief, but she wasn’t completely at ease yet.
In the past few days, Situ Jinse’s fever kept coming back. The fever would subside with dication, but once the effects wore off, the fever would rise again. It had been an on-and-off struggle for several days, without a complete recovery.
She was worried that Gu Junzhu might experience the sa thing.
Fortunately, influenza was not a complicated disease; one would recover after so ti.
What comforted Ye Xingbei the most was that Gu Junzhu’s back pain was not as severe as it had been the night before.
The pain in his back was mysterious; without a targeted treatnt, it seed life-threatening when it occurred, and that was what scared her the most.
Gu Junzhu himself was quite satisfied.
Compared to his back pain, the discomfort from the flu was like the difference between a light rain and a heavy downpour.
His old back injury had flared up many tis, but this was the first ti it had eased up so quickly.
He couldn’t help but ask Ye Xingbei, “Does that old Chinese dicine practitioner who taught you massage have so kind of reputation? My dad had hired many professional masseurs for before, but none of them had any effect on the pain in my back. Yet last night, it seed like your massage actually worked.”
He hadn’t had an attack from his hidden injury in a long ti, so he wasn’t sure if it was just a rapid recovery this ti, which made the pain less enduring, or if it was Ye Xingbei’s massage that was effective.
“Not a big reputation, I guess?” Ye Xingbei briefly recounted her experience with learning massage.
Gu Junzhu clicked his tongue, “Ye Xingli paid the tuition equivalent to a house for you to learn this massage technique, and you say the reputation isn’t big?”
“It was also my good luck,” Ye Xingbei said, “That was abroad where traditional Chinese dicine is declining, and not many believe in it. That’s why they were willing to teach. Otherwise, Chinese dicine masters here would not be intrigued by a house, no matter how much money you have.”
“Makes sense, but the key is that it has to be the right treatnt,” Gu Junzhu said, “My dad also hired countless experts in Chinese dicine for my injury, and they were all at a loss. Ye Xiaobei…”
He grabbed Ye Xingbei’s hand, “If you really helped ease my injury, then it ans we’re truly made for each other, don’t you think?”
Ye Xingbei found his palm was all sweaty.
She suddenly realized that he must be pretending to be energetic to keep her from worrying, goofing around with her here.
She frowned slightly, placed her hand over his eyes, “No more talking. Save your energy. Eat sothing later, then continue to rest.”
