"I'll help you take off your clothes first, then I'll bring the dicine over."
An Nuannuan reached out and gently took off Xu Musen's clothes, which were still a bit damp, and then pulled up the blanket to cover him.
Afterward, she poured a cup of hot water and antipyretics, sitting at the head of the bed, letting Xu Musen lean into her embrace to rest.
She carefully fed him the dicine.
"Does the dicine taste bitter?"
An Nuannuan wiped the droplets of water from the corner of his mouth.
At that mont, Xu Musen was a bit groggy, but laying in An Nuannuan's arms was quite comfortable. Hearing An Nuannuan's tone as if she were coddling a child, he showed a weak smile, "I'm not a kid anymore, no need to fuss over ."
"Still acting tough when you're sick, still claiming you're not a child."
An Nuannuan pouted her lower lip, gently using a hot towel to wipe Xu Musen's burning forehead to cool him down.
"I didn't expect... to have you taking care of ..."
Xu Musen felt sowhat touched.
"Who else if not ? I'm your girlfriend; taking care of you is my right."
An Nuannuan held him, her tone still so gentle and as determined as ever.
Xu Musen squinted, struggling to look at her. From this angle, An Nuannuan's face, usually anxious and caring, looked less naive and more like an older sister's tender consideration.
In fact, Xu Musen quite liked this feeling of being taken care of.
He gently nuzzled his head, feeling very secure.

anwhile,
As soon as Yao Mingyue's phone charged and turned on, it lit up with countless missed calls!
Most were from her mother, and there were also so from Aunt Bai.
Yao Mingyue actually did make a point to call her mother every other day.
But the island had been hit by a typhoon, with no electricity, let alone signal—the equivalent of being completely cut off.
She hurriedly made a call back to her mother.
The phone was picked up after a mont, and imdiately Liu Rushuang's anxious voice ca through.
"Ming Yue! Is that Ming Yue?"
"Mom, it's ..."
Hearing her mother's voice, the relief of having survived the ordeal also ward Yao Mingyue with the comfort from her familial bonds.
"You child, I've been calling you all day yesterday and couldn't get through, nearly scared to death. I checked and there was a typhoon over there; are you all okay? How are Xiao Sen and the others?"
Liu Rushuang also breathed a sigh of relief, imdiately asking about their well-being.
"We're okay, the typhoon probably knocked down so power lines. We had no signal here, but now everything's fine. Don't worry, Mom."
Yao Mingyue didn't tell her mother about what happened on the island, knowing it would just cause them unnecessary worry.
"That's good. You young people... your Aunt Bai and I were a bit worried."
"It's all right, Mom, go about your work. We should be heading back in a few days."
"You're too late with that news. Aunt Bai and I were so worried about you that we've already driven over, we'll be seeing you soon."
"Ah... you and Aunt Bai are coming too?"
Yao Mingyue was taken aback.
"You girl, you're not welcoming us? Your voice still sounds nasal, you must not be fully recovered from the cold. Since there are more girls, Xiao Sen can't be drained either. I'll co take care of you all for a few days..."
"Ming Yue and Musen... they're all right, aren't they?"
Bai Xin imdiately asked after she hung up the phone.
"Yes, everything's fine, all good."
"That's great… worried sick the whole way here."
Bai Xin patted her chest.
"But since we've co, let's enjoy ourselves for a couple of days."
Liu Rushuang was an optimist; knowing her daughter was safe, the journey to find her turned into a vacation ntality in an instant.
She looked out the window at the ocean, the beach, and the tourists sunbathing in their swimsuits.
She took a deep breath, realizing it had been years since she had a proper vacation.
Now that she was at the beach...
She glanced down at herself, curvy with no excess fat around the waist, her legs wrapped in black stockings, exuding a mature woman's sensuality and also possessing smooth, perfect curves.
At her age, if she didn't wear a bikini now, she might really get too old for it...
