Chapter 561 - Do You Believe In Past Life?
Zhao Ming asked Lu shi to bring some cold water and a cloth to wipe his body.
Even though she doesn't have a thermometer, she can feel that his temperature was really high.
….
Ji Cheng felt sticky because of the sweat when he woke up. He opened his eyes hazily, but what came into his sight, surprised him.
Zhao Ming was sitting on the ground beside him with her head on the bed and was sleeping soundly.
He looked at her hand which was holding onto his hand tightly. He felt weak but still tried to sit on the bed.
He looked down at her and stepped down and tried to carry her to the bed before he could carry her, she opened her eyes all of a sudden.
" Ha! You scared me." He exclaimed when he suddenly opened her eyes and glared at him.
She squinted her eyes and asked as she looked at him, " You woke up? How are you feeling now?" She stood up weakly as she massaged her legs.
They have turned sore and were hurting because of sitting in the same position for long.
" Yes. I am feeling better now. But why were you sleeping on the floor?"
" I was wiping your body with a wet towel when I fell asleep."
.
She made him sit on the bed and placed her palm on his forehead to check his temperature.
.
" The fever has finally reduced." She said with a smile.
He looked at her smile and asked, " Were you worried about me?"
She didn't say anything and passed him a glass of water.
.
" Drink this. You will feel better."
He gulped down the whole glass of water when his gaze fell onto the empty medicine on the side table.
He suddenly remembered something.
He pursed his lips and glanced at Zhao Ming.
" Why?" She asked when she saw him staring at her.
" Did you feed me this?" He said while pointing towards the medicine.
She blinked her eyes and cleared her throat.
" Yes. You were sleeping and the Doctor said that you need to drink this to reduce the fever."
" How?" He asked while grinning at her.
She pursed her lips as she felt embarrassed.
" What do you mean how? I just...used a spoon to feed you the medicine."
He raised his brows as he asked suggestively.
" Really? But I don't think that it was a spoon. It was something soft, very sweet which fed me medicine." He said without batting an eye
She frowned as she felt her toes curling because of the cringe in his words.
At this moment, only one moment she can remember.
'Gross.'
At that time, when he was sleeping and had a very high fever, she tried to feed him the medicine using the spoon.
But he always spills it out. In the end, she used her mouth to feed him the medicine.
Though she hated this idea because it's disgusting, however, since they have done many things together, feeding him medicine did not seem like a big thing to her.
The bitter taste of that medicine was still lingering in her mouth.
She pursed her lips and glanced at him, " When you know how I feed you the medicine, then why are you asking about it?" She snapped at him as she felt embarrassed because of his stare.
He sat with his back against the headrest as he stared at her with his playful smile.
" You just be hungry right? I'll ask Lu shi to bring some porridge for you. Doctor has asked you to not eat anything oily and heavy for two days so eat porridge for now. It will give you some energy." She said as she picked up his clothes from the floor.
He was wearing his loose pants only because she had removed his upper robe while he was sleeping to wipe his body with a towel.
Though she didn't have cold water to do that, she used the water from the well and it is cold enough to give him a cold towel bath.
He nodded and saw her leaving the room. His expressions gradually turned serious as he thought about that dream.
It was very strange because he used to have such dreams in the past as well. However, at that time he couldn't see the face of the girl clearly.
But today he saw her...he saw her face. She was as beautiful, just like her voice.
But why did he feel pain in his heart when he saw her face?
He sighed as he was confused because of these strange dreams.
After having their lunch cum dinner, Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng and asked, " Were you having a dream while you were sleeping? You were crying in your sleep."
" Crying? Me?" He was surprised when he heard her words. He felt unusual but it was not to the point of crying.
" Hmm." She nodded as she took a sip of her tea.
" What were you dreaming about?"
He pursed his lips as he was wondering if he should tell her this or not. He was crying because of another woman? Is that something appropriate to say to his own wife?
She stared at him waiting for his response.
" I..I don't remember."
She nodded and didn't probe further. After all, many times we tend to forget our dreams. Maybe he really doesn't remember.
"Zhao Ming."
She looked at him when he called out her name in a low voice.
" Why"
" Do you... believe in past life?"
" Cough, cough"
She choked on her hot tea when she heard his question.
Why was he asking this all of a sudden?
" Why..why are you asking this?" She asked worriedly.
He glanced at her and saw her worried expressions.
He chuckled and said, " Why are you getting so serious? I just asked out of curiosity."
She pursed her lips and said, " Yes...I believe in that. Do you?"
Her question made him think about that strange dream. He always felt some connection with it because it's really strange for a person to have similar dreams so many times.
That's why he started to think ridiculous stories and was confused if it was just a dream or something else.
