Chapter 726: Chapter 726 Can You Accompany Me for Another Hour_1 Chapter 726: Chapter 726 Can You Accompany Me for Another Hour_1 Jian Yufei quickly stuffed the medicine into his mouth, then held his mouth shut, forcing him to swallow.
Xiao Lang frowned as he swallowed the bitter medicine. Jian Yufei hurriedly fed him a spoonful of honey water.
The honey water was sweet. The warm liquid slid down his throat, diluting the bitterness in his mouth.
This was the first time Xiao Lang tasted something sweet after taking medicine.
In the past, when he was punished and fell ill, he would swallow loads of pills, not even flinching at their bitterness.
Because no one cared if he found the medicine bitter, nor did anyone care whether he liked taking them or not.
But she had thought of this for him…
Xiao Lang’s eyes flashed, his gaze on Jian Yufei was deep and thoughtful.
Jian Yufei fed him the medicine, gave him honey water, then gave him a tissue to wipe his mouth.
“When did you suddenly fall ill?” she asked him, confused.
Xiao Lang replied in a low voice, “It’s my chronic illness acting up.”
“Chronic illness?” Jian Yufei chuckled, “You are so young, and already have a chronic illness, what is it?”
Xiao Lang’s gaze fell on her bag on the side. His eyes dimmed a bit, “Are you leaving?”
“Oh, yeah…” Jian Yufei said awkwardly, “Since my memories have not returned, there’s no need for me to continue staying here. I had planned to leave this morning, but seeing you ill, I wanted to stay a bit longer.”
“Just stay here, there are plenty of rooms. You can stay as long as you like,” Xiao Lang said weakly. His condition was so severe that it was difficult for him to speak.
Jian Yufei shook her head, “No need, I want to go home…”
She found a reason to reject him.
“Xiao Lang, thank you for your care these past few days, I truly appreciate it.”
With a faint smile on his face, Xiao Lang’s eyes deeply fixed on her, “I told you, you needn’t be so polite with me. What I’ve done for you, it’s not nearly enough…”
“No, it’s more than enough. Seriously, I’m really grateful to you,” Jian Yufei rushed to cut him off.
She tried to shift the conversation, smiling she asked, “How are you feeling now, should I call a doctor for you?”
Xiao Lang slightly shook his head.
“Then should I let the servants in to take care of you?” she asked again.
Xiao Lang, knowing she was leaving, profoundly looked at her and bluntly said, “Can you stay and talk to me for a while longer?”
“Just for an hour, can you keep me company for one more hour?” Xiao Lang’s tone was pleading.
Perhaps sick people are especially vulnerable, always wishing the person by their side is someone they care about.
Having someone they cared about by their side seemed to alleviate much of their suffering.
Jian Yufei’s eyes sparkled, laughing she nodded, “Alright.”
An hour later would be ten o’clock, a half-hour delay in her departure wouldn’t matter, would it?
Jian Yufei tucked Xiao Lang in carefully. He tried to move but ended up hurting his wound, his face turning deathly pale.
“What happened to your back?” Jian Yufei asked with concern.
She felt it peculiar, not knowing why he had stacked three pillows under his head and had padded something under his buttocks.
Although he was under a blanket, she could still feel that his entire back was not in contact with the bed at all.
Only after the pain subsided somewhat did Xiao Lang smile and say, “I have a bit of a spinal problem. When it acts up, my back feels uncomfortable.”
“That sounds quite serious!” Jian Yufei responded, her expression surprised.
