Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Do You Know How Much I Love You
When he leaned on her, she felt as if her entire being had caught fire.
The sound of pouring rain still persisted outside, leaving her mind in turmoil as she listened.
Shen Chi lay on her lap, his complexion pale and grave, his brow furrowed deeply.
Xu Chaomu knew, he must be feeling awful. She had experienced high fevers before, and truly, it felt worse than death.
“Shen Chi, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell ,” Xu Chaomu said anxiously.
“Mhm,” he responded faintly from his throat.
Xu Chaomu touched his forehead again; it was burning hot, the cool washcloth turned warm in just a mont.
She decisively tore another piece of cloth from her skirt, so she could alternate them to cool him down.
But, it wasn’t very effective; the temperature on his forehead had decreased slightly, yet his body remained fiercely hot.
Xu Chaomu was very anxious, continuously searching for solutions.
Ultimately, she decided to remove his clothes.
Once she undressed him, touching his body, it was indeed very hot.
She extinguished so of the fire and moved him to a cooler spot, but the effect was still minimal.
“Shen Chi, can you hear talking?” she asked urgently.
“Mhm…” Shen Chi replied.
That was a relief for Xu Chaomu, he was still conscious.
She had slept too soundly in the middle of the night and regretted it. If she had kept an eye on him, maybe he wouldn’t have developed such a severe fever.
She held his head, this ti, it was her turn to hold him in her embrace.
“You can’t have anything happen to you, Shen Chi. If sothing happens to you, I don’t want to live either…” Xu Chaomu cried.
Shen Chi heard her, shook his head, and smiled, “So silly.”
“I’m not silly, I’m serious. Shen Chi, do you know how much I love you, do you?” Xu Chaomu cried.
Shen Chi’s consciousness was blurry, and he didn’t have the strength to respond to her anymore.
Xu Chaomu beca frantic, ceaselessly applying cold water to his forehead.
In her desperation, she took off her skirt and held him in her embrace.
Without her clothes, she was very cold, but his body was so hot that soon, she couldn’t feel the chill anymore.
“Put on your clothes,” Shen Chi, feeling her, frowned and said with all the strength he could muster.
“I won’t wear them,” Xu Chaomu held him in her embrace.
When Shen Chi was against her, his body indeed felt sowhat better, but he didn’t want her to catch a cold!
She was pregnant!
“Put them on,” he frowned and scolded her sternly.
But because he was sick, his scolding lacked its usual authority, yet it was enough to make Xu Chaomu hesitate.
“I’m not putting them on,” she embraced him even tighter.
Shen Chi really couldn’t be as stubborn as she, and he sighed softly, “You’ll catch a cold.”
Xu Chaomu shook her head, “I’m robust; it’s okay.”
“You’re pregnant,” Shen Chi sighed again.
“I know I’m pregnant,” Xu Chaomu insisted.
If the child was lost, they could conceive again, but if sothing happened to Shen Chi, she wouldn’t want to live alone.
She rembered, she once asked him: If I hadn’t survived five years ago, what would you be like now?
She rembered, Shen Chi’s answer was, if you left, I wouldn’t live alone either.
Now, if sothing happened to him, she wouldn’t want to live alone either.
Seeing her so determined, Shen Chi didn’t say anything more, his body was completely drained of energy.
Xu Chaomu held him, continuously wiping his forehead and body with cold water all night long. Thankfully, there was running water in the cave, so she didn’t have to go far.
The rain outside continued to fall, showing no signs of stopping.
Xu Chaomu glanced towards the cave entrance; a curtain of water fell, the continual sound contributing to a hazy mist everywhere.
She looked at the wristwatch on Shen Chi’s hand; it was already five in the morning.
At this ti on a typical day, it would already be light outside, but on the rainy mountaintop, the sky was still a dark expanse.
Thankfully, after a night of ceaseless effort wiping his body, his temperature finally dropped.
Later, Shen Chi fell asleep, and Xu Chaomu, exhausted, also lay down after putting on clothes.
When they awoke again, it was over eight in the morning.
This ti, it was Shen Chi who woke up first.
His fever had subsided substantially, and although he still felt weak, he was much better than before.
He gazed at Xu Chaomu’s face; she looked exhausted, dark circles evident under her eyes.
She had done so much for him.
He vaguely rembered that when he had the fever, it was her who continuously wiped his body, even using her own body to reduce his temperature.
Thankfully, she was now sleeping peacefully; everything was fine.
The wounds on his body were still painful, but he bent down and kissed her lips.
He closed his eyes and gently kissed her lips, cheeks, earlobe…
So she could sleep soundly, he let go of her after only a few seconds.
He walked to the cave entrance; the rain was pouring heavily, and the sky was overcast. Looking into the distance, there was an endless expanse of obscurity.
The sea of clouds churned, and the downpour was relentless.
He stood at the entrance for a while, quietly listening to the sound of the rain.
Having lost his phone, he couldn’t call Xiao Mo down the mountain, but he was sure that Xiao Mo must have taken action by now.
However, now that the mountain roads were sealed off, it would take so ti to co up and rescue them.
Xu Chaomu was awakened by the little one’s kicks; she grabbed her belly and forced herself to sit up against the sleepiness.
“Baby, you’re not being obedient, huh? Recently, you’ve been restless. Do you need a spanking?” Xu Chaomu said helplessly.
Looking up, she saw Shen Chi standing at the cave entrance. Had his fever subsided?
She was overjoyed and got up, walking to his side.
As she approached, she linked her arm with Shen Chi’s, confirming that he was no longer that hot.
Shen Chi let her hold onto his arm, silently watching the rain.
Xu Chaomu felt that there was nothing interesting about the rain; a certain person was more worth watching.
At first, she held his arm, but gradually, she wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning her entire body against his chest.
Shen Chi laughed and stroked her head.
She clung to him, feeling like a cat.
The man in a black shirt was rugged and unrestrained, tall and statuesque.
“Are you hungry?” Shen Chi asked, looking down.
“When you’re hungry for a long ti, you stop feeling it,” Xu Chaomu shook her head.
“When the rain stops, I’ll go out and find you sothing to eat,” Shen Chi said.
“You rest. I’ll go,” she replied.
Neither yielded to the other, and Shen Chi smiled, his eyes like deep starlit skies, looking even more captivating.
“Let’s go together,” he suggested.
“Alright, together,” she agreed.
The heavy rain seed considerate, pausing after another ten minutes, with only so rain strands still floating in the sky.
Shen Chi wrapped his arms around her, leading her out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the air was fresh but still couldn’t mask the scent of the fired aftermath.
Xu Chaomu frowned, looking towards the pile of charred ruins.
