Chapter 137 The Sick Concubine

  "Bye! Remember to come to Osaka to play with me!"

On the train returning the next day, He Ye waved goodbye to Shinichi and Xiaolan who had arrived at the station through the window.

Saitama Prefecture and Tokyo both belong to the Kanto region of the Sakura Country, but Osaka belongs to the Kansai region, so she still needs to take a few more stops to get home.

After playing for two full days, both Shinichi and Xiaolan felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time when they returned to Mihua.

But this was not the case for Mouri Kogoro on the side.

"Strange? It was obviously me who suggested going out to play, but why do you feel like I didn't get to play anything?"

In the passenger seat of the taxi, he frowned and looked confused.

Most of his memories of the past two days stayed in the hotel. The only thing that left a deep impression was that he went to the tavern to drink on the first night and remembered the "[-]-[-]" incident and the case on the second night.

As for the memory of the festival, he had no memory at all.

"Humph! It's not because you always drink, Dad!"

Xiaolan pursed her lips and complained angrily.

She was very satisfied with this outing, especially...

Secretly glancing at Shinichi next to him, the little angel showed a smile on his face.

In her duffel bag, she still had the cat mask.

Shinichi naturally noticed the little angel's gaze and touched her little head affectionately.

The taxi first stopped at the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, and Xiaolan and her father got out of the car first.

After being away for two days, the house needed to be cleaned, so she did not follow her to the new home.

After saying goodbye to Xiaolan, Xinyi did not go home directly, but asked the taxi driver to change direction.

He had to go get the little guy back first.

Because it was inconvenient to stay in a hotel, he did not take the little one with him when he went out this time, but left it with Fei Miles like last time.

It was still daytime, and the barrister should still be working in her own firm, but Shinichi came directly to the apartment where she lived.

He took out a key from his pocket and opened the locked door in front of him.

When the former Feili was busy at work, Xinyi would often come over to help her clean up the house. For convenience, Feili gave him an extra key.

It's just that as this barrister's reputation becomes more and more famous, he can selectively accept clients, and his work is not as busy as before, so Xinyi comes over much less frequently.

"Meow!"

As soon as he entered the entrance hall, a clear cat meowed.

The little guy squatted in front of the door as if he knew he was coming, and he didn't know how long he waited.

"You are too smart."

Taking it into his arms and stroking it hard a few times, Shinichi chuckled and said.

After picking up the little guy, he didn't rush home. Instead, he habitually walked around Feili's apartment to see if he needed help cleaning up.

But when he opened the bedroom door, he was stunned.

In the bedroom, Feili was lying on the bed in her pajamas, her eyes closed, her brows furrowed, and she didn't seem to notice anyone coming in.

What made Shinichi feel slightly embarrassed was that her sleeping posture was really unflattering. Half of the quilt was rolled up on the floor, with the pillow between her legs, and her silk pajamas were also opened quite a bit.

Shinichi, who was stunned at the door, quickly regained consciousness and wanted to close the door quietly, pretending that he had never been there.

But the moment he turned around, he found that Feili's face had an unhealthy flush, and there was a hint of pain between her brows.

"Could it be..."

Putting the little one down, Shinichi took a few steps forward to the bed, reached out and touched her forehead.

The hot forehead confirmed Shinichi's suspicion that the barrister really had a fever.

"Well...it's Shinichi, are you here to take Xiao Yeyi back?"

The touch on her forehead made Feili wake up. She was not surprised when she saw the figure in front of her, she just said with a tired smile.

"How can I go back when I see you like this?"

Cover her with the quilt that fell to the ground.Shinichi said helplessly.

Although, he could more or less guess how the barrister became what he is now.

It’s just that I have been working too much recently and have too little rest time. After taking a shower last night, I lay directly on the bed without drying my hair. The balcony window was not closed, and the cold wind blew all night. 0

In addition, my sleeping posture is not very good, so it would be strange if I don’t catch a cold!

"Don't move. I'll get a thermometer to take your temperature."

After tucking the corners of the quilt, Shinichi gave instructions and walked out of the bedroom.

He was quite familiar with Feili's house, and he knew clearly where all the items were placed. He quickly found the medicine box in the cabinet in the study.

By the way, he also saw a lot of information spread out on the study table.

"It must be some difficult case, right?"

After muttering something, he didn't care. After all, the most important thing now was to take good care of the sick barrister.

If it were a child like Xiaolan and the others who had a cold or a fever, he could just use a healing spell, but he didn't dare to do this with Feili.

I won’t be able to explain it until then, so it’s better to take it slow.

"Didn't I tell you to stop moving?!"

As soon as he walked into the bedroom, Shinichi found that Feili, who had been lying on the bed just now, had sat up, with the quilt half off and her pajamas not yet on.

"I, I'm fine, I still have work to deal with..."

Feili's condition was very bad, but she still managed to get up.

Of course, Shinichi would not let her do whatever she wanted. He took a few steps forward and pushed her back directly.

"Don't even think about it. If you still think about work after everything is like this, you won't be afraid of burning out your brain in 3.0!"

Holding her chin and inserting the thermometer, Shinichi's tone was slightly serious.

Right now, he just has a slight fever. If it turns into a serious illness, he can't explain it to Xiaolan.

"39.5 degrees, it's a bit troublesome!"

Looking at the degree displayed on the thermometer, Shinichi sighed.

Looks like I'm busy today.

He put the washbasin filled with cold water aside, wetted the towel, and gently placed it on Feili's forehead, he thought silently.

"Meow?"

The little guy lay quietly beside the pillow, calling softly.

It also seems to be worried about Fei Miles, its temporary owner.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with you."

Shinichi said softly.

Chapter 138 Don’t tell Xiaolan!

  In terms of universal rationality, most people are extremely vulnerable when they are sick, and strong women like Fei Yingli are no exception.

She was suffering from a high fever and her consciousness seemed a little blurry, but she was still mumbling about work, cases and the like, and she wanted to jump out of bed from time to time.

This made Shinichi almost unable to hold back and gave her a physical blow to help her sleep.

Fortunately, his previous experience of taking care of a team of naughty children had fully equipped him with stress resistance, so he pushed the person back hard.

"Meow~meow~"

The little guy who was a little bored wandered around the bedroom, called softly twice, and then walked out on catwalks.

Fei Yingli's brown little female cat also followed him out, as if following a big sister.

"Stop barking, I'll prepare food for you in a moment."

Turning his head and saying something to the little guy, Shinichi continued to do the work at hand.

He wet the towel that had returned to normal temperature with cold water again, wrung it out and put it on Fei Yingli's forehead.

Although she has been fed antipyretic medicine, the effect of the medicine obviously will not take effect so quickly, so this kind of physical cooling measures are still necessary.

If he hadn't been worried that Fei Yingli would wake up and notice something was wrong, he would have used a healing spell long ago, so 10 wouldn't have to go to such trouble.

"After sweating so much, it seems to have some effect."

There was a fine layer of sweat visible between the necks. Shinichi could roughly tell that Fei Yingli's condition was improving, so he felt relieved.

But then he faced a new problem.

It is certainly not a wise choice to let the barrister continue to wear clothes soaked with sweat, as it may make his condition worse later.

It is best to put her into clean clothes and wipe her body.

However, judging from Fei Yingli's current confused state, there is obviously no way for her to complete this by herself.

"Sure enough, I'd better give Xiaolan a call."

After scratching his head, Shinichi took out his phone.

He couldn't do this kind of thing. Considering that Fei Yingli still had to rest for a day or two even if her fever subsided, he decided to call Xiaolan over.

It would be much more convenient in every aspect to have the little angel take care of the barrister.

"Wait, wait, don't tell Xiaolan..."

Before the call was dialed, Shinichi's cell phone was pressed by a weak jade hand.

Fei Yingli, who was still in a daze, woke up at some point and steeled herself to stop his movements.

It's just that her feeble words were as thin as mosquitoes and flies. If Shinichi hadn't had a sharp ear, he would have almost not heard them.
