“Hold on tight. Do you have the strength to grab me?”

  “Yes, let’s go.” Mu Jingzhe grabbed Ji Buwang’s clothes.

  Riding a bicycle was better than riding a car, but the sun was shining brightly outside. Although she was wearing a hat, she still felt even dizzier and weak due to the sun. At first, Mu Jingzhe was still sitting, but later on, she couldn’t help but lean against Ji Buwang.

  Ji Buwang tilted his head to take a look and felt even more anxious. He only wanted to take Mu Jingzhe to the hospital as soon as possible, but unfortunately, he encountered a crossroads halfway there.

  Ji Buwang finally realized the disadvantage of the place he was currently living in. It wasn’t close enough to the hospital.

  Ji Buwang frowned and anxiously waited for the light to turn green. He didn’t notice that someone was constantly watching them from the roadside. When he saw that it was Mu Jingzhe, that person’s expression changed drastically and he even called out her name.

  “Mu Jingzhe!”

  However, Mu Jingzhe was in a daze and didn’t hear him, nor did Ji Buwang notice his presence. When he could pass, Ji Buwang rode his bicycle and sped away. Feeling that Mu Jingzhe seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, Ji Buwang freed up one hand for Mu Jingzhe to hug him tightly.

  The person by the side of the road frowned upon the way they were behaving. “This is outrageous. Simply outrageous…”

  He was so angry that his voice trembled. He was none other than Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng hadn’t expected to spot this scene. He was abnormally furious, but he also felt that his previous suspicions had been confirmed.

  During this period, Xiao Wu had been in the limelight, but Jiang Feng had only noticed that Ji Buwang kept appearing around Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu. He had hoped that he was overthinking, but he hadn’t expected the situation to be even worse than he had imagined.

  While Shao Qihai was still waiting foolishly in the county city, Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were already hugging and behaving intimately in Ocean City without any scruples.

  “Shameless. This is simply shameless!”

  Jiang Feng hadn’t expected that he would directly catch them having an affair. He hated that he couldn’t just go up to them, but at the thought of Xiao Wu, he endured it.

  Mu Jingzhe didn’t know that Jiang Feng had seen them. Even if she did, she wouldn’t care because she was really feeling terrible. When she arrived at the hospital, nothing was discovered after a checkup. They figured it was probably a heatstroke.

  After an injection and treatment, Mu Jingzhe finally felt a little better and no longer felt so nauseous. However, the treatment was also very awkward, as the injection went into her butt.

  Unlike in modern times, when an injection was basically an infusion, during this era, there was relatively less infusion, and there were more butt injections. Mu Jingzhe was given an injection in the butt.

  \r \r \r

  In the nurses’ station was a high chair specifically made for injecting one in the butt. Old and young, regardless of their gender, were given an injection there. In front of Mu Jingzhe was a young man who was awkwardly tugging at his pants. Mu Jingzhe shifted her gaze away and didn’t look.

  When it was her turn, Mu Jingzhe went to sit down on the high chair and asked Ji Buwang to leave while she got the injection.

  Even though she didn’t have the strength to do it, she asked him to go away while she had the injection. Otherwise, it would be very awkward.

  Seeing Mu Jingzhe so weak made Ji Buwang worry. But because he was also embarrassed, he took a few steps away, facing away from them.

  He couldn’t see but he could still hear.

  “Pull your pants down a little more.”

  Mu Jingzhe could only lower her pants a little. She was glad that she was wearing pants and not a dress. Otherwise, she would have had to lift the dress.

  “Alright, don’t be nervous. Relax, or the needle won’t be able to go in.”

  The more Mu Jingzhe listened, the more nervous she became. It was impossible not to be nervous before an injection.

  Fortunately, she wasn’t so nervous that the needle couldn’t go in, so the needle went in smoothly. When the expected pain came, Mu Jingzhe actually relaxed a little.

  The butt needle was injected very quickly. Soon, it was over. Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to pull up her pants.

  “Let’s go.”

  Ji Buwang’s ears were a little red. “Does it hurt?”

  “What do you think? You’ve had an injection before, right?”

  Ji Buwang: “Yes…”

  After getting an injection and applying cooling oil, she looked a little more awake and wasn’t that nauseous anymore. When she got a lot better, Ji Buwang carried Mu Jingzhe back.

  Mu Jingzhe could sit properly on the way back, but she still felt a little weak. This feeling of weakness made Mu Jingzhe very uncomfortable.

  After returning home, Ji Buwang asked Mu Jingzhe to rest and said he would pick Xiao Wu up. Mu Jingzhe didn’t refuse and went to sleep.

  Previously, she had felt terrible, so she slept deeply after falling asleep. When she woke up, she realized that she had slept for an entire afternoon. It was already evening, and Xiao Wu was sitting by the bed and looking at her.

  “Mommy, you’re awake.” Xiao Wu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Jingzhe had woken up.

  “When did you come in? Why didn’t you speak to me?” There had been no sound at all.

  “Mommy, you should rest if you’re tired. Do you still feel terrible?”

  “No, I feel much better.”

  Although Mu Jingzhe said that, Xiao Wu was still worried because Mu Jingzhe didn’t look good and was still a little pale. “Mommy, you have to tell me if you feel unwell.”

  “Okay, got it.”

  When she walked out of the room, she saw Ji Buwang wearing her apron. Because it was hers, it looked a tad small on Ji Buwang. “You’re awake? I heard you two talking.”

  “You’re still here.”

  “Why wouldn’t I be? I made dinner. Hurry up and eat.”

  Ji Buwang usually had people cooking for him, but this time, he had taken the initiative to cook. He had boiled green bean porridge and made a few nutritious dishes that were easy to digest. Although they didn’t look that good, they tasted pretty good.

  “Eat more. You look terrible.”

  “Thank you.” Ji Buwang had always given off the vibe of a movie character, but after bustling around the kitchen, he looked more like someone you would encounter in real life. He even looked a little funny in an apron.

  Ji Buwang didn’t know what Mu Jingzhe was thinking and only said, “Why are you so polite? Xiao Wu, drink more green bean soup. You don’t want to get a heat stroke.”

  After the meal, Ji Buwang and Xiao Wu cleaned the dishes and stared at Mu Jingzhe as she drank the medicine. They left behind a big bowl of green bean soup and a lot of reminders before leaving.

  Mu Jingzhe didn’t feel uncomfortable at night. Although she had slept during the day, she still fell asleep at ten at night.

  On the other hand, after waiting for Mu Jingzhe to fall asleep, Xiao Wu quietly took a cup and a pillow and lay on the floor to guard her.

  Xiao Wu woke up in the middle of the night and secretly looked at Mu Jingzhe twice to check if she had a fever. He only dared to sleep when he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her.

  Probably because they were uncle and nephew, Ji Buwang and Xiao Wu had similar thoughts. He was also worried about Mu Jingzhe, so he didn’t sleep and he secretly came twice in the middle of the night.

  After waiting outside for a while and seeing no abnormalities, he went back in peace. Actually, if Ji Buwang had had his way, he would have spent the night at Mu Jingzhe’s house. He would be more at ease if anything happened in the middle of the night then, but in the end, he didn’t insist, afraid that it would cause her trouble and make people gossip about her.

  Because of Xiao Wu, even Mu Jingzhe received a lot of attention. Since outsiders didn’t know better, they couldn’t let Mu Jingzhe be plagued by the scandal of having a man stay overnight at her home.

  Mu Jingzhe slept until dawn before waking up. When she got out of bed, she almost stepped on Xiao Wu, who was sleeping on the floor.

  Xiao Wu usually required Mu Jingzhe to shout a few times before waking up. However, today, because Mu Jingzhe was sick, he was abnormally alert and he woke up at the slightest movement made by Mu Jingzhe.

  “Mom, you’re awake. Are you feeling unwell?”
