Zhao Lan was sitting on the side and sewing a quilt. When she saw Bai Zhi woke up, she rushed forward and touched her forehead: “Thank God, your fever has gone down.”

Bai Zhi sat up and lazily leaned on her back: “I had a fever last night?”

Zhao Lan nodded her head: “You did, you’re burning up all night. When I tried waking you up, you didn’t wake up, I was worried to death.”

Bai Zhi touched her forehead, she still has a low-grade fever. But then, she opened the quilt and get out to bed when Zhao Lan went outside to get her water to wash her face. She took out a medicine powder to the medicine box and quickly poured it on a teacup and rushed to drink it.

When Zhao Lan entered the house, she smelled something so she asked: “What is that smell?”

Bai Zhi smiled and replied: “I just took medicine, it’s the medicine.”

Zhao Lan snorted but didn’t say anything about it anymore. She put the washbasin on the table and said: “Come here, wash your face quickly. Your breakfast is in the front house. By the way, I heard Hu Feng was talking in his sleep last night, and his face doesn’t look so good.”

Bai Zhi hurriedly washed her face and changed clothes, then she rushed to the front house.

Hu Changlin and Awu were cleaning up the porcupine in the yard. When Hu Changlin saw Bai Zhi, he stopped the work in his hand and said: “Zhi’er, you came. Your mother said your burning with a fever last night. How do you feel now?”

Bai Zhi didn’t stop her footsteps, she replied to Hu Changlin while walking towards him: “A lot better. How about Hu Feng? How is he?”

Hu Changlin said: “He woke up and eating porridge in his room. You go and see him.”

Bai Zhi went straight to Hu Feng’s room and saw him sitting in front of the desk under the window, holding a spoon in his hand. The porridge in the spoon has already become cold, but he still didn’t send it to his mouth. He just stared at the pear tree outside the window. No one knows what he is thinking.

“What are you thinking?” Bai Zhi rushed to him and naturally raised her hand to check his temperature. He was colder than her. His body temperature was normal. She sighed in relief and asked: “Does your head hurt?”

Hu Feng returned to his senses, he slowly put down the spoon in his hand to the bowl and looked at Bai Zhi. His face looked calm as usual, but his eyes looked as if there were thousands of raging waves.

“No, how about you? Are you okay?”

There was still a half bowl of porridge left in the big bowl on the table. A large spoon was placed inside. Bai Zhi pointed her finger to the big bowl and asked: “Are you still eating?”

Hu Feng shook his head.

“Then, I’ll eat it, I’m starving to death.” She took the big bowl and picked up the spoon full of porridge and put it to her mouth. A warm porridge slipped to her throat up to her empty stomach. She felt so comfortable.

Bai Zhi looked at Hu Feng and saw him staring at her: “What? Haven’t you seen me like this before?”

Hu Feng suddenly smiled. This girl, even if he did this kind of action that he found rude, he also felt that it’s kinda cute and lovely.

“You eat well. Keep it up.” Hu Feng smiled and said.

Bai Zhi ignored him, whether what he said is true or not, she continued eating. She shouldn’t let her internal organs suffered.

After she emptied the big bowl, she put it down and wiped her mouth with the cloth towel on the table. Afterward, she asked Hu Feng: “I heard you were talking in your sleep last night, did you remember something?”

After Hu Feng’s eyes that were looking at Bai Zhi flashed, he quickly swept his gaze at the pear tree outside the window. The smile on his face also disappeared in an instant: “No.”

“You didn’t remember anything?” Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow.

Hu Feng said in a low voice: “Mmm, I didn’t remember anything.”

Seeing him like this, he doesn’t seem like someone who doesn’t remember anything. If he remembered something, why not say it? Is it inconvenient? Or is it because his past was too dark?
