Chapter 758: Chapter 758: The Man Pulls Her into the Hot Spring
Qin Xin asked anxiously, but did not receive an answer from the man.
The man’s body was heavy, and she struggled to move his shoulders, but his inertia still dragged him downward.
In the midst of her efforts, she touched his forehead.
It was terrifyingly hot!
"Master, do you have a fever? Have you... contracted the yoke disease?"
Thinking of how her master had been delivering meals to patients the past few days, and how he had been with her, unable to leave her side while she interacted with patients, she felt deep regret.
Her body was frequently in contact with plants and herbs, and she had undergone special conditioning, giving her a natural protection, but Master Tuantuan was different. She had been too careless.
Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and placed her delicate hand on the man’s wrist.
Her fingertip pressed against the man’s pulse.
She was preparing to take his pulse.
"Something’s not right, this pulse doesn’t seem like a fever caused by a virus..."
Just as she touched the man’s pulse and noticed something abnormal.
Suddenly.
The hot spring pool splashed with water.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily and urgently, he pulled her from the shore into the water.
Directly, pulling her into his embrace!

Qingcheng Four Seas Hotel.
Huo Tingzun quietly finished a small pot of coconut chicken soup in the cold and lonely presidential suite.
He then answered a phone call.
After instructing his subordinate to pass the will to Miss Wu and his son, he turned off his phone.
He took a step toward the sofa.
He wanted to make himself a cup of tea and drink it slowly, pretending just like the nights before, as if the foolish woman hadn’t left, and he was merely drinking tea, waiting for her to come up from that pretty boy’s room downstairs after cooking.
Waiting for her to come back so he could mock her properly.
"At your age, you’re not a little schoolgirl anymore. Chasing after male celebrities?"
He sneered, walking toward the sofa.
Yet, the mere dozen meters felt extraordinarily difficult.
No matter how he tried to walk, he could not reach it.
Finally, with a clatter, stumbling, his heavy body crashed by the kitchen door.
His body was in severe pain, and his head felt like it was splitting.
Yet in that moment, the thought that popped into his mind was: luckily, he had driven the foolish woman away, otherwise if she saw him unable to walk properly, he’d be mocked to death even before his illness claimed him.
Tired, he closed his eyes, just wanting to have a proper sleep.
To sleep...
To sleep...
It was rare to be able to sleep this much...
Just as he felt himself slowly leaving the pain, entering a long and oblivious dream.
Suddenly.
A burst of icy sharp pain pulled him abruptly from his dreams.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
He coughed violently, squinting open to see the same foolish woman who always drove him up the wall with anger.
"Ha, foolish woman, even in my dreams I run into you. I don’t believe, even in heaven, there’d be you, this one ghost who refuses to leave, blocking my way." He snorted, about to close his eyes again.
But then he heard the woman’s angry voice, coldly speaking: "Huo Tingzun, you dog of a man, you made me leave by myself and then die here, is that it? Dog man, you want me to remember how you looked before you died for the rest of my life, how can you be so despicable? I hate you to death!"
Huo Tingzun struggled greatly, only to open his eyelids a bit more.
His voice was slightly weak and hoarse: "Even in dreams, you’re this fierce. Foolish woman, hurry and catch your flight back to the Imperial City, and stay away from that pretty boy downstairs."
Xiao Bailu took a deep breath, grabbed the vegetable washing basin beside her, and splashed another faceful of cold water on the man: "Seems you’re still not sober enough. What dreams, get up and no dreaming, no sleeping allowed!"
As she spoke, a sob accompanied her voice: "Dog man, don’t you know this disease, if you fall asleep, you could sleep to death?"
In his life, he had deceived her so many times, but this time was the one that made her both angry and hateful the most!
[Master Yun: Good night kiss! As you wished, Lu Lu came back, splashed cold water to wake the dog man; the reserved master also pounced on cute Qingxin hehehe, demanding votes with prowess]
