We moved to Golden Courtyard

"There is absolutely no room for taking chances."

After saying that, he suddenly gave Mei a wink, a very subtle gesture that Eden certainly wouldn't notice.

"You rest first, and I'll go and look through some ancient books to see if I can solve your problem at its root."

"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Xian'er."

Mei helped Eden tuck himself in and said, "I'll go out and cook you a bowl of porridge. You've been busy all this time and haven't had dinner yet. You should eat something to keep your energy up."

"Um...Mei, have you notified Anna?"

“I notified her, but I didn’t let her come back. You’re sick, so don’t worry about things at the company. Xu Qi is here, and she definitely won’t let you handle them.”

When Xu Qi was brought up, Eden could only manage a wry smile.

After leaving the room, they found Fu Xian'er in the kitchen, who had come out under the pretext of doing so earlier.

"Sister Xian'er..."

"Actually, Eden's physical problems were almost fully addressed last year, and he gradually recovered. The relapse this year is not entirely due to overwork."

"That is……"

Fu Xian'er let out a long sigh.

"She is suffering from mental exhaustion. She has a constitution that is deficient in Yang energy, and her recent restlessness has further exacerbated this deficiency, which has probably caused her to not sleep well."

Mei was horrified.

How could this be?

"That shouldn't be... Didn't Sister Eden already get together with Xu Qi...?"

After saying that, Mei seemed to understand something.

"them……"

Fu Xian'er nodded slightly.

"I'm afraid so. Miss Eden is very sensitive and takes her sibling relationship with Xu Qi very seriously. Even if they were together... she would probably overthink things."

Besides… they probably didn't even go that final step. This Xu Qi… if he had used force, things might not be like this today.”

"I'll go talk to Xu Qi!"

"Wait a minute?"

Fu Xian'er quickly stopped Ya Yi, otherwise, judging from her posture, it seemed as if she wanted Xu Qi to force himself on Eden tonight, which was quite intimidating.

"We can't do that now; it would only backfire."

"Oh, is that so... No~~ What are you thinking? I would never do that."

Mei's smile was strange; it seemed that Fu Xian'er had completely guessed her little scheme.

"Should we tell Xu Qi?"

“No need, just let nature take its course, but…” Fu Xian’er thought for a moment, “it might be tough on Xu Qi.”

······

The drive back to the courtyard on the highway took a full ten minutes faster than usual! You can imagine how anxious Xu Qi was at that moment.

Upon receiving Mei's call, Xu Qi rushed back to the courtyard with Ai Li.

As soon as I opened the door, I rushed upstairs without thinking about anything else.

"Sister! Sister!"

Lying in bed, Eden felt a surge of panic upon hearing Xu Qi's calls. When Xu Qi rushed into the room and saw his eyes filled with anxiety and worry…

Eden had to admit that her heart had inevitably turned into a pool of spring water.

"Xiaoqi..."

"elder sister!"

Xu Qi strode forward and grasped Eden's hands. He could tell at a glance that Eden was much weaker than usual.

When you hold their hands together, the latter's abnormal body temperature is immediately transmitted to them.

Xu Qi asked in a panic, "Does your sister have a fever?"

"Hmm... I'm probably just tired..."

"The temperature hasn't dropped yet, how can someone have a fever?"

"It's an old problem; my body tends to weaken in the fall."

"It wasn't there last year!"

"yes……"

Eden lowered her eyes. In fact, she had guessed to some extent why her condition kept recurring, but... how could she tell Xu Qi about it?

If he had told her, Xu Qi would have been mortified!

"Let's not talk about this. Mei called you, and you rushed back from the company. Did your work get affected?"

"How can I possibly care about work!"

Eden's heart trembled slightly, while Xu Qi spoke excitedly for a moment, but then quickly regained his composure.

"Sister, I'm not yelling at you, I'm just so worried..." After saying that, Xu Qi seemed to feel that no words could express her feelings well, so she reached out and hugged Eden tightly.

"You've been perfectly fine the whole time, how did you suddenly get sick... Mei called me and said that when she saw you, you were already fast asleep at your desk!"

Sister, my heart can't hold anything else but you right now. Work is fine, I can do it anytime, but you're my only sister!

"!"

Eden looked at the big boy holding her in his arms, her tone filled with helplessness and endless worry. Anyone could hear his attachment to his sister.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'll always be here, I'll be fine, so don't worry... okay?"

Alicia, who had followed Xu Qi back, stood at the door and watched the conversation between the siblings inside the room, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face.

"how's it going?"

Mei leaned closer to Airi and peeked inside, but Airi quickly pushed her back down.

"Shh? Let's go first, let them stay a little longer."

Mei nodded.

As the saying goes, a mental illness requires a mental cure. Since Fu Xian'er said that the key to Eden's relapse of Yang deficiency was Xu Qi, then this problem... naturally needs to be solved by Xu Qi.

939. Are you sure you are taking care of a patient?

After a long while, Xu Qi's emotions seemed to have calmed down. He slowly released Eden and saw that his sister, who was only wearing a thin silk nightgown, sat up. Startled, he quickly pressed Eden back into the quilt.

"elder sister!"

"Alright, alright, isn't it you who's crying and sobbing? When your older sister sees you like this, of course she has to comfort her little brother."

Xu Qi blushed.

"It's better to stop crying and whining..."

Eden's smile remained unchanged, but instead became even more gentle.

Yes... Xu Qi... has always been my younger brother.

This identity has never changed because of anything that happened between them.

Seeing that Eden could still crack a few jokes, Xu Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—it seemed that the situation wasn't too bad, just a simple fever.

"Has your temperature been taken?"

"I've measured it; it's been about an hour..."

Xu Qi nodded, took the thermometer, and reached under the covers. Eden blushed and quickly grabbed Xu Qi's hand, saying, "What are you doing?"

"Let me take your temperature."

"This... I can have this too."

"No, my sister is a patient."

In the end, Eden couldn't compete with Xu Qi.

You can only let the other person put their hand under your armpit and place the thermometer there.

Now that he's no longer the younger brother but the husband... Eden is starting to feel insecure again.

However, seeing no trace of impure thoughts in Xu Qi's eyes, Eden felt that she was being too filthy, actually thinking that her younger brother might want to take advantage of her while she was sick...

He really is my good younger brother.

"What did Sister Xian'er say?"

"Fu Xian'er said it's a problem with my constitution. Mebius also had blood tests done, and it's just a simple viral cold causing a fever..."

After saying that, Eden suddenly realized—Xu Qi was standing a little too close…

She quickly reached out to push the other person away.

"You...you stay away from me, or you'll catch it."

If Mei were here, she'd probably say something like, "So you didn't think of this when I was around, huh?!"

Xu Qi looked displeased.

"What are you talking about? How can I take care of you if we're not close? Don't worry about whether you're contagious or not, the most important thing is for you to get better first."

"But!……"

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to kiss you. If that happens, my saliva will spread the infection, and I'll definitely get a fever too."

After Xu Qi finished speaking, Eden immediately dared not say anything more.

It seems she was genuinely afraid that Xu Qi would kiss her now.

Xu Qi secretly found it amusing.

Why would he be afraid of any virus? Not to mention that his body, after his spiritual power was awakened, already had an immunity that was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

The enhancement drugs that Mebius injected into his body alone were enough to ensure that no virus could get close to him.

Meanwhile, outside, Mei saw that the atmosphere inside was about right, so she brought in a bowl of porridge.

"Xu Qi, feed Sister Eden something. She hasn't eaten dinner since then."

"Mea Yi..."

Xu Qi stood up, and with just a glance, all the gratitude between them was conveyed.

After receiving the porridge made with medicinal herbs, Xu Qi kissed Mei Yi on the cheek.

"Thanks a lot."

“What’s so hard about it? Spend more time with Sister Eden tonight. She’s sick, and everyone in the courtyard is worried about her.”

"Okay, leave it to me."

After watching Mei leave, Xu Qi turned back to look at Eden while holding the porridge.

This one glance made him pause slightly.

But Eden was sitting on the headboard, her head turned away, looking upset and sullen, as if to say, "I'm angry, come and coax me."

Xu Qi: ?

Tilting her head for a moment, it suddenly dawned on her—could her sister be jealous...?

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xu Qi raised an eyebrow and said, "Sister, dinner's ready."

"Oh……"

After saying that, he didn't move.

Seeing this, Xu Qi had no choice but to put the porridge aside and said, "Is my sister jealous?"

Eden breathed a sigh of relief, her pretty face flushed, it was hard to tell whether it was from illness or shyness.
