Bai Yishu didn't come to class this Friday. He Yun Shen glanced around the classroom, feeling inexplicably irritable, and his mind wandered during the lecture.

After class, he couldn't resist calling Bai Yishu.

"Hey, cough cough..."

Bai Yishu's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, and He Yunshen's heart tightened suddenly.

"What's wrong? Do you have a cold? Have you been to the hospital?"

He Yun Shen immediately picked up his coat from the back of the chair, put it on, and walked out.

Bai Yishu leaned against the bed, clutching her phone tightly, still angry with him because of what had happened before.

"None of your business."

She hung up the phone after saying that and went back into bed.

Before He Yun Shen could speak, the call was disconnected. Hearing the busy tone, his face darkened, and he quickly drove to the Bai family's house.

Bai Yishu felt dizzy and her heart was racing. She had gone out a couple of days ago and had already caught a cold when she returned.

I guess he went to a crowded place and caught the flu.

He Yun Shen arrived at the Bai family's house quickly. He walked through the front yard and anxiously pressed the doorbell.

"Mr. He."

The butler opened the door and bowed respectfully to He Yun Shen.

"How is she?"

He Yun Shen looked past the butler and up the stairs, his tone unusually urgent.

"How serious is it? Have you been to the hospital?"

The butler hesitated for a moment.

"Miss is resting upstairs."

He Yun Shen immediately strode upstairs, arrived at the bedroom door, and gently pushed it open.

The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn and only a little light filtering in.

Bai Yishu curled up on the bed, still holding the thermometer she had just used in her hand.

He Yun Shen slowly walked to the bedside, his gaze falling on her flushed cheeks and slightly parted lips, a dense, tingling pain rising in his heart.

"Bai Yishu?"

Bai Yishu opened her eyes upon hearing the sound and saw He Yunshen standing in front of her. Whether it was due to illness or some other reason, her nose felt a little sore and her eyes became wet.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, He Yun Shen's heart softened instantly.

"And you said you didn't want me to interfere?"

He sat on the edge of the bed, gently touching her forehead with the back of his hand.

"Your fever hasn't gone down yet. Have you taken any medicine?"

Seeing Bai Yishu shake her head, He Yunshen brought over the medicine and water glass from the side.

"Why aren't you taking your medicine? Are you trying to make yourself feel worse?"

"I'm fine."

Bai Yishu's voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt with every word she spoke.

He Yun Shen took the thermometer, glanced at it, gently helped her up from the bed, and put the medicine to her lips.

"You're burned like this and you still say you're fine? Do you want to burn yourself into an idiot?"

Bai Yishu had a fever and didn't have the strength to argue with him. She glared at him and then obediently took her medicine.

He Yun Shen's expression softened, and he helped her lie down, carefully tucking her in.

"Take a nap, you'll feel better after sweating it out."

Bai Yishu closed her eyes, and after a moment, looked at He Yunshen, who was still sitting by the bed.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

He Yun Shen was taken aback, and some answers that surprised even himself popped into his mind, but he didn't mince words.

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

He got up, grabbed a chair, and sat down.

"I'm going to keep an eye on you, so that some people won't mess with you again while I'm away."

Bai Yishu pouted.

"No need to trouble Mr. He."

"It's no trouble at all."

He Yunshen's tone carried a hint of defiance; he paused slightly, and his eyes flickered.

"If Miss Bai feels bad about it, thank me again when you're better."

Bai Yishu glanced at him and said dismissively, "Why should I thank you? You're the one who's been refusing to leave."

"I... I'm worried that you'll get brain damage from the fever and won't even know your own surname anymore."

Although He Yun Shen said that, he knew very well in his heart that he still couldn't let go of Bai Yi Shu.

"I'll leave once your fever breaks."

"Whatever."

Bai Yishu stopped speaking, turned her back to He Yunshen, and fell asleep unknowingly under the influence of the medicine.

Seeing that Bai Yishu had fallen asleep, He Yunshen moved the chair closer to the bed.

He observed Bai Yishu's condition, getting up from time to time to change the damp towel and gently wipe her cheeks.

Bai Yishu slept for several hours. She slowly opened her eyes, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and saw that it was already three in the morning.

A dim nightlight was left on in the room, illuminating a corner of the room.

He Yun Shen leaned back in a chair with his arms crossed. His eyes were closed, his breathing was steady, and his head was slightly lowered. The light cast a soft shadow on his profile.

The glass of water on the bedside table was still steaming. Bai Yishu didn't wake him. She just quietly watched his sleeping face, a smile unconsciously curving her lips.

Her clothes were sticking to her skin from sweating, and she shifted uncomfortably. The sound of her clothes rubbing against the sheets woke He Yun Shen, who was sitting next to her.

"Awake? Are you feeling any better?"

He Yun Shen opened his eyes, his voice hoarse and tired, and immediately got up to touch her forehead.

"It's still a bit hot."

"Have some water."

He Yun Shen took the water glass from the table and naturally supported her back with his other hand.

Bai Yishu withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and drank the entire glass of water. The dryness and itchiness in her throat were slightly relieved, but the restlessness in her heart continued to rise.

"How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?"

Bai Yishu suppressed the fluttering feeling in her heart and rubbed her stomach.

I'm hungry.

A hint of a smile flashed in He Yun Shen's eyes, and his tense expression relaxed considerably.

"What would you like to eat? I'll go tell the housekeeper."

After giving instructions to the housekeeper, He Yun Shen returned to the bedside, while Bai Yi Shu looked at him.

"And what about you?"

"I?"

He Yun Shen was slightly taken aback, then realized that Bai Yi Shu was asking him what he wanted to eat, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Don't worry about me, I'm not hungry. I'll just eat the leftovers after you finish eating."

"That won't do. We can't let our President He suffer."

He Yunshen sensed the teasing in Bai Yishu's words and knew that she was feeling better, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"When did Miss Bai become so concerned about me?"

Bai Yishu turned her head away from him, her ears burning even hotter than before.

"I don't care about you."

"Yeah?"

He Yun Shen raised an eyebrow, deliberately sighed, and put on a pitiful look.

"I'm so heartbroken. I've been running around taking care of Miss Bai while she's sick, and I haven't even received a single word of concern from her."

Bai Yishu couldn't help but smile as she watched him feign sadness.

"Thank you."

He Yun Shen was stunned for a moment when he heard Bai Yi Shu's sudden thanks. He seemed to have not expected her to suddenly become serious, and his heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

He coughed lightly, looking away, but the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

"Don't be so polite with me. You can thank me after you've recovered."
