Dressed as cannon fodder, I went crazy, and the villain pampered me until I was numb.

Chapter 40 - I don’t need your help for the next steps.

Xia Kou knew that he had another nightmare.

In the original book, Shang Qi often has nightmares, dreaming about the days when he returned to his childhood, was abused by the merchant's wife, escaped, was caught, and had his calf broken.

Whenever he wakes up from nightmares, his temper becomes even weirder and more volatile.As long as someone displeases him even slightly, he will try his best to kill them.

Thinking of this, she reached out her hand with both distress and fear, and gently wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.

The moment his fingertips touched the man's hot forehead, his wrist was grabbed by a force.

The man's hot palm grasped her wrist tightly, his half-opened eyes gradually turned red, his sinister expression was filled with coldness, and his original noble and indifferent temperament became vicious and surly, which was terrifying.

"Shang..." Her voice became hoarse involuntarily, and her hand felt like it was stuck in her throat.

He was a little delirious, and instinctively held her tightly to prevent her from escaping.

His handsome face was clearly gloomy, but there was a sly smile on his lips, "From the beginning to the end, the only man who can help you is me, right?"

"Huh?" Xia Kou obviously didn't respond to such an outrageous question.

"Answer me." His voice was terrifyingly deep.

The force on his wrist became tighter.

"Yes..." Her hand hurt, and she answered subconsciously without thinking.

After answering, the strength on her wrist gradually loosened. She raised her eyes slightly to look at him and saw him nodding slightly, his body falling backward without any strength, and his lean and weak body sank into the sofa, weak and decadent.

"Shang Qi!" Xia Kou noticed something was wrong and reached out to touch his forehead, which was very hot.

It is estimated that the wound was somewhat inflamed, causing the person to have a fever.

The fever needs to go down as soon as possible.

Xia Kou immediately contacted Uncle Wang, who urgently sent a private doctor to his home.

When Dr. Sheng came, Shang Qi was in a coma.

Xia Kou stood aside, helpless like a child who didn't understand anything.

After Dr. Sheng connected him to an intravenous drip and prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, the tense atmosphere in the room gradually subsided.

"Give him medicine on time, make sure his diet is light, and be careful not to touch the wound with water. The wound was exposed to water this morning and is a little inflamed." Sheng Yu ordered and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Finally, he asked out of curiosity: "Who are you, Mr. Shang?"

She looked at his eyes full of meaning and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "Friend, what's wrong?"

Sheng Yu smiled lightly and shook his head, "Then take good care of him."

After explaining, Sheng Yu quickly left Xia Zhai.

Not long after taking the anti-inflammatory medicine, Shang Qi woke up.

There is still a faint dark red in the cold and gloomy eyes that has not completely faded, but it is no longer as scary as before.

Xia Kou immediately brought warm water, "You just had a fever, remember?"

He sat up and shook his head. His bloodless thin lips were so dry that they were slightly flaky.

She handed the water glass to his lips, and he didn't even need to reach out, he only had to open his mouth slightly to drink.

"Drink water, your lips are a little dry."

Shang Qi raised his eyes and took a deep look at her, then he opened his mouth and drank several sips of water.

After it gradually became clear at the mourning platform, he smelled the aroma of rice coming from the kitchen.

"Have you cooked?"

"Yeah, it was just made. Mr. Shang, do you want some? I'll heat it up for you."

Her curved eyebrows seemed to have a special appeal, which made him feel less angry. "Okay." Shang Qi walked to the dining table and looked at the sumptuous dishes that suddenly appeared on the empty dining table, as if he didn't react. , stood there stunned for a long time.

"You did all of this?"

Cold cucumber, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, minced meat and eggplant, winter melon and pork ribs soup, steamed yellow croaker...

Every dish looks and smells great, and is home-cooked food that he doesn't often eat.

Xia Kou helped him hang up the bottle of intravenous medicine and nodded, "Well, I didn't know whether you were eating or not, so I made a few more."

He sat down, and just as he was about to lift his chopsticks, he felt a tearing pain from the wound that was tightly wrapped with bandages.

She noticed his discomfort, sat next to him, and scooped a small bowl of pork rib soup for him, "Let me feed you."

Shang Qi's beautiful long eyes flashed with surprise. Before he could react, the spoon with warm soup was already brought to his mouth.

He opened his mouth and continued to feed her one mouthful after another. His dark eyes stared straight at her the whole time, with emotions surging in his eyes that even he could hardly fathom.

Afraid that he would have a weird temper after the nightmare, Xia Kou acted in a very measured manner, and the food was well matched, with both meat and vegetables served to his mouth.

Shang Qi was very cooperative, as well-behaved and docile as a beautiful porcelain doll, and never got angry no matter how hard he tried.

After tea.

"This little bear biscuit is for you. I just made it." Xia Kou handed the biscuit that had been packaged by herself to him. "It's my little thought, and I think it's a way to repay you for saving your life."

Although he was already very full, Shang Qi couldn't help but reach out, take a piece and put it into his mouth.

"delicious."

Time passed quickly.

After the meal, Xia Kou was about to wash the dishes when she saw the person sitting at the dining table struggling to reach the potion bottle with his other hand.

Today, Shang Qi has an injury to his right arm and an IV drip on his left hand, making it inconvenient to go anywhere.

"Where are you going? I'll help you." She quickly stopped what she was doing and helped him take the potion bottle off the wooden shelf.

The temperature of their fingertips touched the cold medicine bottle, sending a trace of electricity to the bottom of her heart, making her eyes dodge inexplicably.

The man had a calm voice, a smile on his face, and he was not embarrassed at all. "I have to go to the bathroom, do you want to help me?"

The medicine bottle that I had snatched from my hand in advance was neither a matter of letting go nor a matter of not letting it go.

"I, I'll help you over, hang up while you're at it..." She dodges her eyes a few times, holds the medicine bottle high, and takes a few steps ahead of him.

The man whose hand was held by the needle gradually became lazier in his steps. Looking at the red ears of the girl in front of him, his smile grew stronger.

Xia Kou didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt like his heart and courage had shrunk as soon as he got to him.

She muttered in her heart, hung up the potion bottle, and turned to look at him, "Hang it up, you can do it yourself, right?"

Shang Qi stood by the toilet, tilting his head slightly and saying "hmm" casually.

Maybe Xia Kou's voice was a little soft, but Xia Kou didn't hear it clearly. Her big deer-like eyes were still staring at his beautiful face without blinking as before.

The two of them were in a stalemate in the toilet for a while.

Shang Qi paused slightly as he unbuttoned his trousers, and his bewildering fox eyes were filled with a hint of amusement and exploration, "Miss Xia, I'm not incompetent yet, and I need your help in all the next steps."

Her brain, which had been slow to respond, exploded with a bang, and her cheeks were extremely hot.

"No, I don't want to help. Let's leave now, leave now..." She immediately turned around and ran away with her head in her arms.

When she closed the bathroom door, her red ears could still hear the man's chuckle coming from inside.

Very good, I want to change my life on another planet.
