With great difficulty, Xu Zixi managed to push the person off her and quickly went to check on Yan Yincheng's condition.
He had fallen into a deep slumber. His forehead and his breath were burning hot, yet his hands were as cold as ice. The situation seemed very bad.
What should she do now?
Looking at the man's handsome face that made one lose their mind, Xu Zixi's mind went blank.
Right! She remembered that this man had another roommate! And when she saw him at the seafood market, there were also many bodyguards around him!
Xu Zixi quickly turned around and looked around. However, the next room was empty, and there was not even a shadow of the other man.
Strange. There were usually many people around him. Why weren't they here at this critical moment? Xu Zixi frowned anxiously.
Forget it. She'd better move the man into the room first. The floor was so cold, and it was winter now. She didn't want to make his condition worse.
However, when Xu Zixi tried to pull the man up from the ground, she realized how stupid her decision was. Because Yan Yincheng was—
Too heavy!
Yan Yincheng was 185 centimeters tall. Even though he had eye problems, he had the build of a normal and healthy man.
In order not to let the man fall to the ground, Xu Zixi had to temporarily put aside the boundaries between men and women. She put Yan Yincheng's arm over her shoulder and tried to hold his waist with the other hand. From the back, it looked as if Yan Yincheng was pressing his whole body on her, encircling her in his arms.
After almost falling several times under the heavy weight, the unconscious Yan Yincheng was finally moved from the cold floor to the sofa.
Xu Zixi's forehead was completely soaked with sweat, and she was out of breath from exhaustion. However, after only a short rest, she immediately got up, walked into the room, and found a quilt to cover Yan Yincheng. But when she wanted to find ice cubes to cool him down physically, she found that his refrigerator was empty. There wasn't even a tool to boil water in the kitchen, let alone a medicine box.
Miss Xu was so angry that she laughed. What kind of place was this? There was nothing! If it weren't for the fact that their car was the latest model of Maybach, she would have thought they were refugees.
There was no other way. Xu Zixi had to go back to her own house to get ice cubes and apply them to Yan Yincheng's forehead to cool him down physically. However, going back and forth like this inevitably made a lot of noise, which woke up the two little ones.
When they heard that the uncle who had taken them to the hospital last night was sick, the two little ones didn't want to sleep anymore. They rushed excitedly to the next room to help Xu Zixi.
This happened to solve Xu Zixi's urgent problem.
She took out an alarm clock and put it beside the sofa. She stroked the two little ones' heads and said, "Babies, Mommy has a task for you, okay? If you do this task well, Mommy will give you a reward!"
Yuan Xiaoxu asked, "Mommy, what's the reward?"
This little guy. At only three years old, he already knew how to bargain? No wonder he would be the number one villainous rival of the male protagonist in the business world in the future.
Xu Zixi couldn't help laughing. "What kind of reward does Baby Xuxu want?"
Yuan Xiaoxu quickly said, "Xuxu wants to eat... wants to eat a lot of sweets!"
"Okay. As long as Xuxu does Mommy's task well, Mommy will definitely reward you well. Xuanxuan will also get a share."
"Okay!" Yuan Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up, and he answered with his chest out.
"This uncle is sick. Mommy has to go out to buy medicine now, but the uncle needs someone to take care of him. So Mommy wants to give you the task of taking care of the uncle. Xuanxuan, you watch this little alarm clock. As soon as the hour hand reaches the halfway point, take this thing off the uncle's head. Xuxu, you have to help your brother put new ice cubes in it and then put it back on the uncle's head. This task requires you two to cooperate with each other until Mommy comes back. Can you do it?"
Xu Zixi tried to explain it as simply as possible, and Yuan Xiaoxuan understood right away. He patted his chest and said, "Mommy, don't worry. Leave the uncle to Xuanxuan and little brother."
Xu Zixi wrapped her scarf tightly, kissed the two little ones on their foreheads respectively, and then rushed out of the door with some money in her pocket.
After she left, Yuan Xiaoxuan and Yuan Xiaoxu squatted in front of the sofa. Their big, round eyes stared intently at Yan Yincheng, who was sleeping on the sofa. After about ten minutes, Yuan Xiaoxu opened his mouth and yawned widely.
Mommy's task was so boring. He was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.
"Brother, why is the uncle sick? Did we infect him?" Yuan Xiaoxu asked, sucking his finger.
Yuan Xiaoxuan touched Yan Yincheng's face and then his own. He said, "No, little brother. The uncle's illness is different from ours. When we were sick yesterday, our faces were cold, but the uncle's face is very hot. He must have a fever."
Yuan Xiaoxu looked at his twin brother admiringly. "Brother, you're so amazing."
Yuan Xiaoxuan lowered his head shyly, but at the same time, he felt a little proud. He also thought he was amazing. He wasn't afraid of being sick. Instead, he found the various strange sensations in his body when he was sick very interesting.
After a while, the clock finally passed the halfway point. Yuan Xiaoxuan immediately became nervous and shouted, "Little brother! The hand has reached the position Mommy said! It's time for us to change the ice cubes for the uncle!"
"Okay!" Yuan Xiaoxu cheered up.
The two little ones cooperated very well and quickly changed the ice bag for a brand - new one. Yuan Xiaoxuan held the ice bag and approached Yan Yincheng. He tiptoed and wanted to put the ice bag back on his forehead. Just as he was about to succeed, he suddenly stumbled. The ice bag tilted, and all the ice cubes inside fell onto Yan Yincheng's face with a clatter.
Yan Yincheng was jolted by the impact and finally regained a bit of consciousness from his deep slumber.
He felt as if his head was being split open by an axe. His sense of smell, which was usually more sensitive than others, completely failed him at this moment. His ears were buzzing, and his limbs felt as heavy as if filled with lead. He felt like he was drowning, and even breathing was very difficult.
What happened to him?
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Yan Yincheng finally remembered.
Just now, that woman seemed to have knocked on his door and said she wanted to pay him back.
But why was he lying here now?
Was what happened just now a dream, or was it a hallucination because he hated Yuan Xi so much?
"Little brother, let's quickly dry the uncle's face. Otherwise, he'll catch a cold."
Suddenly, Yan Yincheng heard a childish voice that he never expected to hear in his buzzing ears. He was stunned, and the pain in his head became even more intense. He frowned tightly and couldn't tell whether he was in a fantasy or reality. It wasn't until he felt two slightly cold but extremely soft touches on his forehead that he finally confirmed—this wasn't a dream.
"You..."
In an instant, his disbelief turned into anxiety. Yan Yincheng opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was hoarse and dry, and his throat ached sharply.
The sudden sound startled the two little ones, but then they shouted happily:
"Uncle, you're awake!"
"Uncle, you're sick!"
"Don't worry. Our mommy has gone to buy medicine for you! You'll get better soon!"
Yan Yincheng raised his hand and held one of the small hands on his face. The warmth of the hand made him reluctant to let go, but he gritted his teeth and pushed the nearest body away.
"Stay... stay away from me!"
"What are you doing!" Suddenly, Xu Zixi's angry roar came from beside him.
