My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 379 - 004: Take care_4

Chapter 379: 004: Take care_4
Ye Lingran gave a faint smile and nodded, "Okay."
After Shao Min and Chai Jie left, Ye Lingran looked at Yun Qi’s uncomfortable expression and felt a pang of heartache. She leaned over to sit at the edge of the bed, just intending to reach out and touch his face when Yun Qi suddenly opened his eyes slowly, just in time to see her hand suspended in mid-air.
Ye Lingran blinked awkwardly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to slip into. It was simply too embarrassing.
"You... you’re awake?" Ye Lingran saw him squinting at her and smiled to break the silence.
"I’ve been awake all along."
"..."
Ye Lingran was dumbfounded, realizing that her hand was still lingering in the air, and quickly tried to retract it while explaining, "I... I just wanted to... to touch your forehead to check your temperature, that’s all, no... no other meaning. Also, Shao Min called a doctor for you, they should be here soon. Your wound is probably infected. It was treated too late yesterday, should have been cleaned and medicated at the hospital right after you got injured."
But as she pulled her hand back, Yun Qi suddenly extended his hand from under the blanket to grab hers, asking with a smile, "Then check it! Why pull it back?"
Ye Lingran was taken aback, feeling the warmth in his palm. She set aside her shyness and asked worriedly, "Your hand is so hot too? What about your body..."
"Does my body need checking too?" Yun Qi interrupted her with a playful tone before she could finish.
Ye Lingran was speechless again and rolled her eyes at him in exasperation, "At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke around. Do you know how high your fever is? Shao Min said you have a fever above 39 degrees! Don’t you know if you’re having a fever? You should speak up if you’re feeling unwell!"
Yun Qi looked at her anxious and worried expression, a hint of smile in his eyes, and didn’t let go of her hand, but gently placed it down. "I only felt unwell when I woke up this morning, and then Chai Jie and the others came in."
Ye Lingran pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and just as footsteps sounded from outside, a doctor, a nurse, and a hotel attendant walked in. She nodded, "Mr. Yun, the doctor and nurse are here."
Seeing this, Ye Lingran quickly withdrew her hand from his and nodded to the doctor and nurse, getting up from the bedside to make room for them.
After the doctor and nurse conducted a check on him and the wound, they confirmed that the fever was caused by an infected wound. They re-applied medication and administered an anti-inflammatory drip, also gave him some medicine, which the nurse would bring over later.
After sending off the medical staff, the breakfast she had instructed the attendant to deliver arrived. She pushed the small trolley into the bedroom and asked softly, "I asked the attendant to bring breakfast up. Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something?"
Yun Qi tilted his head to look at the covered items on the trolley, then attempted to support himself up but due to his fever, he didn’t have much strength and it seemed quite taxing. He turned his gaze to Ye Lingran. Ye Lingran was taken aback and quickly leaned over to assist him in sitting up, propping up the pillows behind him to make him more comfortable. However, since there were only two pillows, the waist was supported but the head was a bit empty, so Ye Lingran glanced around and noticed a throw pillow on the sofa, which she brought over.
As she leaned over, a faint fragrance enveloped Yun Qi’s nose. Every time she got close, he could smell it, gradually becoming familiar with it, and his expression smoothed out. He suddenly thought that occasionally falling ill wasn’t so bad as he could enjoy this special care.
After everything was settled, Ye Lingran set up a small table on the bed and placed the breakfast on it, "Okay, you can eat now."
"Have you eaten?"
"Uh... I’ll eat after you’re done."
"Sit."
Ye Lingran looked at him indicating with his eyes and sat down with a puzzled expression, "What’s wrong?"
"Let’s eat together."
"No need, I’ll order something else for myself later." Ye Lingran smiled, shook her hand, and handed the chopsticks to him, "You eat first! Otherwise, it’ll get cold since it was sitting there for a while."
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and lifted his hands to show her, looking helpless, "It seems I have the heart but no strength right now. My hands are weak and it’s a bit inconvenient."
Ye Lingran looked at his hand wrapped in bandages, the other with a needle, indeed making it inconvenient. She retracted her hand, set down the chopsticks, picked up the bowl of porridge, gently stirred it with the porcelain spoon, and moved closer to Yun Qi, holding a spoonful of porridge to his mouth, "Not sure if it’s still hot, sip slowly and try the temperature first."
Yun Qi looked surprised, with a smile in his eyes as he tasted the porridge. Because it was a bit hot, he instinctively turned his head and smacked his lips. Ye Lingran panicked at this, watching him nervously, "Are you okay? Is it very hot? Sorry!" She quickly brought the porridge to her face and blew on it.
Gazing at her gentle and lovely face, Yun Qi smiled and let her blow on each spoonful before feeding it to him. After finishing the bowl of porridge, Yun Qi shook his head, saying he didn’t want to eat anything else. Ye Lingran didn’t force him, removed the things, adjusted the pillows, helped him lie back down, and felt his forehead, "Then have a good sleep."
"What about you?" Yun Qi ’obediently’ lay down, turning his head to look at her asking.
"Hmm?" Ye Lingran helped him tuck in the covers, met his gaze with confusion, "Me? What’s up with me?"
"Will you leave after I fall asleep?"
Ye Lingran paused, listening to his somewhat childish and spoiled tone. She was momentarily dazed, thinking she was hearing things, took a while to come back to her senses, "Uh... it’s still snowing outside, where... could I go."
