Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

Bai Ling'er panicked a little.

She immediately began rummaging through the house.

"Where did you hide the fever reducer?"

The first-aid kit contained only a few band-aids and a bottle of expired iodine.

Xu Yi is still feeling very uncomfortable.

Bai Ling'er turned to look out the window.

Night had fallen outside, and thunder was rumbling.

She checked her phone; it was 2 a.m.

Bai Ling'er took a deep breath.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed an umbrella from the living room.

He grabbed a clean plastic food bag, turned around, and rushed into the raging storm.

3:30 a.m.

Xu Yi was awakened by the burning sensation in her throat.

"Thirsty...for water..."

He struggled to sit up, feeling only a heavy head.

"Ling'er?"

Xu Yi walked to the living room, leaning against the wall, but the sofa was empty.

"Where is everyone in the middle of the night?"

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce wind whipped up torrential rain that lashed against the window.

Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat. She was completely unfamiliar with Jiangcheng.

It's so late, where did she go all by herself?

He walked to the window to close it, but his gaze unconsciously swept downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yi was completely stunned.

In the midst of a violent storm.

On that deserted street, a petite figure was running towards the apartment against the strong wind.

She was clutching the thing in her arms tightly.

He curled up into a ball, looking like a tiny, moving doll.

"That silly girl!"

Xu Yi's mind cleared up instantly, and without caring that she still had a fever, she slipped on her slippers and rushed out the door.

He had just reached the elevator when Bai Ling'er came up.

Bai Ling'er stood at the elevator entrance.

The umbrella in his hand had long been deformed by the strong wind.

She was completely dry, with her hair sticking to her cheeks.

Rainwater dripped down his chin with a pattering sound.

He was completely soaked.

"Brother Yi, you're awake..."

Bai Ling'er, panting heavily, trembled as she unbuttoned the only relatively dry garment on her chest.

He carefully pulled out the small bag that was tightly wrapped in a plastic bag.

Inside was a brand new box of fever reducers.

"You have a high fever... We're out of fever reducers at home."

Bai Ling'er smiled especially sweetly.

"It's pouring rain outside, and many pharmacies are closed. Ling'er had to go to several pharmacies before she could buy it."

"Great, it's not wet at all."

She handed the medicine to Xu Yi, her eyes filled with the purest love in the world.

It seemed she would do anything for Xu Yi.

Xu Yi stared blankly at the person in front of him who was a head shorter than him.

Bai Ling'er, soaking wet but with a sweet smile.

At that moment, Xu Yi felt as if something had struck his heart hard.

Despite the torrential rain, she still ran out to buy him medicine...

The inexplicable emotions in my heart intensified even further.

She's a real yandere.

But their kindness and concern for me are genuine.

He is not a cold-blooded animal, so naturally he wouldn't be unmoved.

Xu Yi snatched the box of medicine and threw it on the shoe-changing stool next to him, then reached out to grab Bai Ling'er.

"What medicine are you taking! Get in here first!"

Upon touching her, Bai Ling'er's arm was icy cold, causing Xu Yi to shiver.

With a dark expression, he forcefully pushed her into the bathroom.

"Hurry up and take off your clothes and take a hot shower. I'll go get you a towel!"

Bai Ling'er obediently let him push her into the bathroom, but refused to close the door.

She grabbed Xu Yi's clothes with her other hand.

Those wet eyes stared straight at Xu Yi.

"Brother Yi, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

Xu Yi tapped her forehead in an annoyed tone.

But he was very gentle.

Then, he pulled a large bath towel from the cabinet and wrapped Bai Ling'er up completely.

"Don't come out! Get it warm up first!"

Xu Yi slammed the bathroom door shut, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh.

The heat inside my body seemed to have intensified because of the ordeal I had just gone through.

He felt even worse, but he didn't stop moving at all.

He opened the plastic bag.

"Children's ibuprofen...did this girl go to the children's pharmacy to buy it?"

Xu Yi looked at the little strawberry pattern on the packaging box and his lips twitched.

But at this point, there was no time to worry about that.

He poured himself a glass of warm water, and with the water, he took out two pills and swallowed them.

Twenty minutes later.

The bathroom door quietly cracked open.

Bai Ling'er came out wearing Xu Yi's white T-shirt, her two long, fair legs bare.

Her long hair was haphazardly wrapped in a towel, and her face was flushed.

"Brother Yi, I'm done washing up."

Xu Yi was sitting on the sofa drying his hair with a towel when he saw this. He sighed and patted the spot next to him: "Come here."

Bai Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat down next to him like a cat.

Xu Yi took the hair dryer and plugged it in.

He casually pulled the towel off Bai Ling'er's head.

Xu Yi skillfully dried Bai Ling'er's hair.

Bai Ling'er comfortably squinted her eyes, completely relaxing.

"Brother Yi, you are so gentle."

Bai Ling'er murmured softly, "Ling'er wishes she could stay in this moment forever."

Xu Yi paused in his movements.

"Alright, go and get some rest."

Xu Yi turned off the hair dryer.

Push Bai Ling'er into the room.

"Go back to your room and sleep."

"What about Brother Yi?"

"I can sleep on the sofa, the medicine is taking effect, I'm so sleepy." Xu Yi rubbed his throbbing temples.

Bai Ling'er: "No, Brother Yi is not feeling well. You should rest. I'll just rest on the sofa."

Xu Yi frowned. "I took the medicine and my fever went down quickly. I'm worried about you not sleeping."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling'er smiled.

I felt a surge of joy.

"I, Ling'er, will listen to Brother Yi."

Bai Ling'er went to the bedroom, lay down, and fell asleep.

Xu Yi suppressed his emotions and leaned back on the sofa.

I fell asleep without realizing it.

I woke up in the afternoon.

He rolled over and sat up.

Bai Ling'er had already gotten up and saw that Xu Yi was awake.

He reached out and touched Xu Yi's forehead.

I placed my finger on it and paused for two seconds.

"Thankfully, the fever has subsided."

Xu Yi just watched her like that and went to the kitchen.

After a while, she returned, carrying a glass of warm water.

"Brother Yi, have some water."

"Ling'er," he said.

"Um?"

"Thank you for yesterday."

Bai Ling'er paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"No need to thank me. Brother Yi is Ling'er's husband. This is what I should do. In the village, when Father was sick, Mother took care of him in the same way."

After saying that, she stood up. "Don't move around too much today, just rest well. I'll go out and make something to eat."

As Xu Yi watched her walk towards the kitchen, that familiar worry returned.

"Can you cook?"

Bai Ling'er stopped and turned around, looking completely at ease.

"Didn't Brother Yi say it was delicious last time you made it?"

Xu Yi's lips twitched. "You used three times the amount of salt last time you made it."

"That's because Ling'er had bad luck back then, but she's having much better luck today."

Luck?

This was the first time he had ever heard that cooking required luck...
