The yandere is too beautiful; the fake heiress sneaks kisses through the window every day.

Shen Ji caught the little girl as she tumbled down and gently pulled her into his arms.

Once in his familiar embrace, Jiang Yu instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled her head against it.

Soft strands of hair brushed against her neck and behind her ears, and her warm, soft lips brushed against her skin. Shen Ji's arms, which were holding Jiang Yu, stiffened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

He glanced down at the little girl curled up in his arms like a kitten, and pursed his lips slightly.

Wow, impressive skills for such a young age.

Shen Ji carried the person and strode back to the room, leaving the general munching on a chicken leg.

After returning to the room and putting her on the bed, Shen Ji realized something was wrong. He hadn't noticed it clearly from outside, but the girl's face was so pale.

Moreover, he seemed listless and not as energetic as before.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ji reached out and touched her forehead, his brow furrowing. "You have a fever."

Jiang Yu lay on the bed, clutching her stomach and mumbling a couple of times. She turned over, feeling drowsy, and was about to fall asleep.

Shen Ji frowned, took out his phone, made a call, and said only two simple words: "Two minutes, come over."

Less than two minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, approaching from afar.

Half asleep, Jiang Yu heard footsteps and instinctively burrowed under the covers.

The Empress's dignity did not allow others to see her in such a disheveled state.

Seeing the little girl who was almost delirious with fever but still remembered to hide someone, Shen Ji chuckled and pulled her out of the quilt and into his arms.

It's so hot, why are you still crawling under the covers? Don't you feel stuffy?

Who knew that even after he pulled her out, she wouldn't stay still. With her eyes closed, she kept wriggling in his arms and pulling at his hair and clothes.

It feels like it's even harder to press down than a pig during the Lunar New Year.

"Don't move." Shen Ji removed his hands from his hair, his face dark with a warning.

"I must hide..." Jiang Yu struggled to hide.

Shen Ji couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to pull the blanket over her gently.

Jiang Yu finally felt safe and stopped struggling, nestling obediently in Shen Ji's arms, quiet like a good baby.

Holding the adorable baby, Shen Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

The silence had barely lasted a moment when a loud voice burst in from outside.

"Coming, coming, I'm here~~" Rong Shan, wearing pajamas and with messy hair, darted in.

||ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノミ|Ю

Caught off guard, Jiang Yu shuddered in fright.

She trembled, and Shen Ji, fearing that she would wake up and start pulling at him again, quickly hugged her and gently patted her to comfort her.

After calming the person in his arms, he turned to look at the person who had barged in with a murderous glint in his eyes.

Rong Shan was no longer able to care about the murderous intent in Shen Ji's eyes. She stared at the two of them in disbelief, then covered her face in shock.

"Holy crap, there's someone in your bed, and they're alive!"

"Stop talking nonsense and come over here to see what's wrong with her. She has a slight fever." Shen Ji glanced at him coldly.

"Oh." Rong Shan had no choice but to mute herself.

He came to the bedside and curiously peered into Shen Ji's arms, his gaze burning like that of a pervert.

Shen Ji warned coldly, "Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Rong Shan rolled her eyes inwardly and muttered under her breath, "Stingy."

"No, you won't even let me see her, how am I supposed to treat her?" Rong Shan looked at the person who was completely covered up and complained speechlessly.

Shen Ji looked at the person in his arms and, seeing that she had calmed down, gently lifted the blanket.

I grabbed it as soon as I lifted it up a little.

Shen Ji looked at the person who was clinging to the blanket and said, "Let go."

Not loose.

The Empress vowed to defend her blankets and her dignity to the death.

Shen Ji tried to pull it off several times but couldn't budge it. The vein on his forehead throbbed. Helpless, he could only offer Jiang Yu's hand to Rong Shan to take her pulse.

"Hurry up," Shen Ji said slowly.

Rong Shan touched Jiang Yu's wrist with a speechless expression, took her pulse, and said, "It's just a low-grade fever caused by indigestion. It's nothing serious. A couple of acupuncture treatments will do the trick."

"Indigestion?" Shen Ji frowned and looked at the person in his arms.

Hearing this as well, Jiang Yu suddenly opened her eyes, no longer hiding. She poked her head out from under the covers, turned to look at Rong Shan, and stretched out her hand, strongly demanding, "Impossible, you must have made a mistake. Re-examine her."

The Empress actually got a fever from indigestion because of her gluttony. Doesn't she have any face left?

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Yu, Rong Shan's gaze towards the two became increasingly strange, as if she had stumbled upon some explosive gossip. "Wow~"

Shen Ji grasped her hand, lowered his gaze, and asked, "So, how much did you actually eat?"

Jiang Yu looked away guiltily and answered softly.

"Just a little bit."

"Yeah, just a tiny bit," Rong Shan added with a sarcastic smile.

Shen Ji was so angry that he laughed when he saw someone get a fever from eating too much.

"Let's get the acupuncture." He squeezed the little girl's soft, chubby hand and turned to Rong Shan.

Rong Shan pulled out a few silver needles with her hand behind her back, revealing a smile like that of Rong Momo (a notorious nanny), "Little sister, don't be afraid, it won't hurt at all~"

Jiang Yu: Don't come any closer!!!

Although his smile was grotesque, one had to admit he was quite skilled; after a few needle pricks, Jiang Yu felt her stomach was less painful.

"Does it still hurt?" Shen Ji asked, gently rubbing Jiang Yu's stomach.

"Much better."

Rong Shan looked at the two of them being so affectionate that they didn't care about anyone else, clicked his tongue and shook his head, just about to complain about the saccharine smell of love.

"You can leave now." Shen Ji subtly stepped aside to block Jiang Yu's view, then turned to Rong Shan and dismissed her.

Rong Shan looked on in disbelief.

Good heavens, you've used it and then discarded it!

Rong Shan put away the silver needles, sneered, rolled her eyes, and walked away cursing.

I hadn't walked far when I suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait, so you hurriedly called him over in the middle of the night just to treat the little girl's indigestion?

Is he destined for a lowly fate?

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Someone flipped the table and let out a groundhog-like roar.

Hearing the angry roar coming from afar, Jiang Yu curiously peeked out and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"He's having an episode." Shen Ji said calmly, then paused and added, "Don't follow his example."

The little girl is already not very bright; if she learns anything else, who knows how stupid she'll become.

Jiang Yu looked away and saw that Shen Ji's expression was calm and he didn't seem to be lying, so she nodded obediently.

It was rare to see the little girl so well-behaved, and Shen Ji's mood suddenly improved considerably. He gently pinched her cheek.

"Why didn't you come last night?" Shen Ji asked casually, playing with the girl's slender, soft, white fingers.

Jiang Yu slapped his hand away and pulled her fingers back, turning the tables and taking the initiative to play with his hand.

"I went clubbing last night, it was too late to come over."

Shen Ji: What are you jumping around for?
