Chapter 55

"Brother, I also bought some snacks for you, put them in your bracelet, they should still be hot when we get home. Let me tell you, Granny's baked squid was really tasty, I ate two skewers!" Although she was already full, Jian Xi still felt like drooling when she thought of the taste.

"Get Zhao Sister-in-law to make it for you in the future if you want to eat it, your stomach itself is not good, don't eat something bad and get a stomachache." He Qingchen said helplessly, thinking that when they got home he would have to call Shen Xiaoheng and ask what medicines to prepare.

Sure enough, when they got home not long after, before Jian Xi could even take out the snacks from her bracelet for He Qingchen, her stomach started to hurt.

After running to the bathroom several times, He Qingchen hurriedly called Shen Xiaoheng, getting him to come over in the middle of the night.

In the end, Shen Xiaoheng diagnosed Jian Xi with acute gastroenteritis, and had someone deliver medicine and set up an IV drip for her!

After Shen Xiaoheng left, Jian Xi noticed He Qingchen's face looked a bit dark. She pouted and said aggrievedly: "I won't casually eat outside food ever again in the future!"

Seeing her like that, He Qingchen didn't say anything. He was angry with himself, for not being attentive enough and taking care of her before.

Looking at her somewhat pale little face, his eyes darkened somewhat, "Don't randomly eat outside food again next time, understand?"

Jian Xi thought he was angry, and hurriedly nodded, responding, "Won't eat it, won't eat it."

It couldn't be helped, her gastrointestinal tract really wasn't very good. It was because when practicing martial arts in the past, she overexerted herself physically, and also didn't pay attention when eating, wolfing food down. In the end it left her with this illness.

Actually Jian Xi could have given herself a couple injections, but she had been running to the bathroom so frequently, she really didn't have any strength left. She fell asleep before even finishing the first IV bag.

He Qingchen kept watch at her bedside, after the medicine finished dripping he removed the needle, left a glass of warm water by her bedside, before leaving her room.

He didn't sleep that entire night, coming to check on her every hour.

Jian Xi's recuperative abilities were quite strong, and she was back to full health the next day. Seeing the dark circles under He Qingchen's eyes, she knew he must not have slept the entire night.

It was always like this when she was small, every time she got sick he would stay up all night taking care of her, as if this habit was ingrained in his bones. She really couldn't imagine when he started his own family in the future, if he would also take such attentive care of his own wife?

As soon as this thought came out, Jian Xi was stunned, because she had actually had a very inappropriate idea just now!

She frowned, examining the uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

Across the table, seeing her standing there staring into space, her expression continuously changing, He Qingchen didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Come eat breakfast, what are you thinking about, or are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" he asked.

He Qingchen's voice pulled her out of her thoughts, she slowly walked to the dining table and sat down on the chair. In front of her was a bowl of vegetable porridge, from the smell she could tell it wasn't made by Zhao Sister-in-law.

"Eat quickly," he said curtly, urging her to eat.

Today was Monday, there were scheduled fortune-telling appointments. He Qingchen had originally wanted her to properly rest for the day, but Jian Xi insisted she was already fine.

In the end, He Qingchen could only go along with her. Seeing that she really was alright, he also went to the company.

After he left, Jian Xi directly went to the little wooden house. It was still early, Gu Lingling had not yet arrived.

She went to the fridge, opening it wanting to take out a can of drink, but suddenly remembered He Qingchen's instructions before leaving that she couldn't drink cold drinks these few days, so she closed the fridge door again, and turned around to boil some hot water for herself.

She sat on the chair watching the bubbles rise in the transparent kettle, somewhat zoning out.

The thoughts from this morning involuntarily popped up again.

She didn't want her brother to take care of other women, even if it was his wife it was unacceptable!

This was very wrong, extremely wrong!

But she clearly knew it was wrong to think this way, yet from the moment this idea appeared it had taken firm root in her heart.

She felt somewhat disgusted with herself, this sudden possessiveness made her feel somewhat panicked and guilty even when making eye contact with him.

She wasn't stupid, it was very obvious these thoughts had already crossed the boundary between a younger sister's feelings for her elder brother.

The only thing she couldn't figure out was, exactly when did she start having different feelings towards He Qingchen?

If He Qingchen found out about this matter, what would he think? Would he slowly distance himself from her in the future?

One by one, ideas bubbled forth like the boiling water in front of her.

Lost in thought, she didn't even notice when Gu Lingling came to stand in front of her.

"Miss Jian."

"Miss Jian?"

Jian Xi came back to her senses, "Oh? You're here, sorry just now I was lost in thought."

"Miss Jian, the first customer today, Old Lady Feng, has already arrived. Should I let her in now?" Gu Lingling asked respectfully.

Jian Xi nodded, "Let her in."

"Alright." Gu Lingling went out and brought the person in.

The visitor was an extravagantly dressed old lady in her sixties who was meticulously maintained, but with one glance Jian Xi could tell her real age.

"Please sit," Jian Xi didn't stand up, only gesturing slightly with her hand.

Old Lady Feng pretended not to mind, but was extremely displeased in her heart. But because this was He Qingchen's home, she also didn't dare make a scene.

"Fortune-telling or divination?" Jian Xi was too lazy to say another word. She knew what kind of person this old lady was as soon as she entered the room.

Her children were estranged, her husband was having affairs, yet all of this was not worthy of pity, because she was the one who had brought it upon herself. She was suspicious by nature, covetous of vanity. She had concealed it very well, making her way up in the first half of life through schemes, even carrying a person's death on her back!

And she had probably come today to resolve that matter, because there was a faint black color between her brows, a sign of impending death!

Jian Xi was somewhat puzzled though, how did that person suddenly die? Weren't the previous backlashes added together not that serious?

Her fingers moved under the table, in less than half a minute, the corners of her lips hooked, it must have been her brother!

"Miss Jian, I didn't come today for you to read my fortune, but to ask you to cure my illness. Recently I've been suffering from frequent headaches, and my body has been growing weaker day by day. No matter how many layers I wear, I still feel cold. The hospital couldn't find anything wrong with their examinations, but I heard your skills in traditional Chinese medicine are formidable, so I've come to try my luck." Old Lady Feng looked at her and said.

The corners of Jian Xi's lips curled up, even at this point she was still testing her? Then should she just play along?

Her eyes glanced at the female ghost clinging to Old Lady Feng's back, her bloodshot eyes looking at Jian Xi, a trace of resolve flashing through them.
