Chapter 4: 發病
[Outbreak (of a disease)]
After staying in the small garden for a day, Tang Xiaobao felt bored.
Originally, before crossing over, he never had much leisure time, every day cooking, serious management of his own small restaurant, suddenly transmigrated over here and became leisure, yet he was not quite accustomed to it.
In the afternoon, he originally thought that Ji Ling would still wait until he was about to go to sleep as he did the day before, only then he came back, but he didn’t realize that he would come back before dinner.
Looking at Ji Ling, who was sitting next to him, eating very seriously, but with no taste at all, and then looking at the colourful and flavourful dishes in front of him, he felt a little bit of sympathy at once. But after thinking of what to do, he hesitated for a while or quietly ate his own meal without saying a word.
As usual, Ji Ling ate very little, only when he finished eating, he looked at Tang Xiaobao and asked, seemingly unintentionally, “Do you want to go out?”
When Tang Xiaobao heard his words, he was a bit confused for a moment, not knowing why he wanted to do this all of a sudden. He just looked at him and didn’t know how to answer, he just came here and he didn’t know anything, of course he would have some thoughts about the outside world.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao half a day did not answer him. Ji Ling also did not care, just turned his head to look at Cai Yue who had been waiting beside him, commanded in a low voice: “You accompany the lady tomorrow to go out shopping, what madam would like to buy, just buy it. You take the money from the housekeeper.”
Cai Yue bowed her head and respectfully replied, only a hint of unhappiness flashed in her eyes.
Hearing Ji Ling’s words, Tang Xiao Bao still wanted to say something, but Ji Ling quickly said, “It’s not early anymore, wash up early and rest.” After saying this, he coughed again, and after taking the medicine to ease his pain, he asked someone to help him to wash up. This time, he didn’t ask Tang Xiaobao to help, instead, he called his own personal servant.
Looking at Ji Ling’s thin back, in fact, Tang Xiaobao did not quite understand what exactly he was going to do.
At night, the two of them lie on the bed as usual, Tang Xiaobao still does not dare to make a sound, always feeling that their interactions were a little strange. He originally thought that Ji Ling wanted him to work as a bodyguard, but now it seems that he is not in short supply at all ah. Then why did he marry himself? He knew that Ji Ling did not like himself, but why did he let himself stay by his side? The two of them even ate and slept together every day.
Feeling very puzzled, Tang Xiaobao brainstormed a lot of ideas, and even thought of a lot of horrible things. The fear that came from his ‘soul’ origin, made him shake unconsciously.
“You’re cold?” Tang Xiaobao, who had always made Ji Ling could not sleep, at this time, said a sentence, soon the person beside him did not shiver anymore, but he heard a very small voice, very persuasive as he asked him, “Why do you marry me?”
Hearing this question, Ji Ling turned his head to look at Tang Xiaobao, and under the dim moonlight he only saw his very bright eyes staring at himself for a split second, as if he was the only one left in his eyes. It was just like the weak animals he saw when he was a child, staring at him with pity and nervousness, just because they wanted the food in his hands.
And now Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling who turned to stare at him, his heart screamed, he really felt so scary, especially under the moonlight, more like that kind of corpse in the ancient tomb. He now especially regrets why he did not sleep under the covers, and in the middle of the night he still has to talk.
Just when Tang Xiaobao felt that he was about to be suffocated in his own stupidity, Ji Ling slowly opened his mouth, and his voice sounded very horrible, “Because I want someone to give me a descendant. Except for you, it is estimated that no one will marry me.” The moment he said this, he really saw the other side of the person’s eyes all of a sudden widened round, like a scared little animal, appearing very pitiful.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaobao was instantly scared silly, and covered himself tightly with the quilt, fearing that he would lunge towards him on impulse.
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he turned his head, lay flat and did not pay attention to Tang Xiaobao, who was shocked, and appeared to be very calm, as if what he said just now was only Tang Xiaobao’s fantasy.
Tang Xiaobao was scared by his words there, eyes staring straight at him, the heart in his chest fear as if it was about to jump out. Kept staring at him, just when he couldn’t hold on and was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard a sound coming from his side, and soon there was a burst of heart-breaking coughing sound.
When Tang Xiaobao reacted, he saw that the person beside him was coughing so hard that it looked like he was about to cough out his lungs. Soon, Tang Xiaobao dressed himself and called his subordinates in. Then the lights of the whole mansion were lit up, the doctor was invited overnight, and looked like he was already very used to it.
Wearing his own clothes stood at one side, looking at the doctor who came to rescue Ji Ling, he blankly stood there and did not know what to do.
“Young Madam, you sit here and rest, the doctor has already had some experience, the young master will be fine in a while.” Cai Yue looked at Tang Xiao Bao who was standing there, put on a coat for him, and helped him to sit down on the seat next to him.
Tang Xiaobao looked at the people who were busy, serving tea and water, preparing to boil water and cooking the medicines, as if the whole mansion had come to life at night. Then he looked at the person in the middle who was being rescued, his whole body was full of silver needles, and his mouth was constantly being fed with medicine, and he looked like he was in great pain, but he didn’t say a word to endure the pain, and he stared blankly at him.
After a night of torture, Ji Ling finally slowed down, and the people who had been on standby breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Xiaobao finally couldn’t stand it anymore and went to sleep on a cot outside, and the people quietly did a good job and then retired.
Waiting until the next day, Tang Xiaobao got up, they found their sleeping place had become smaller, and even not as soft as the original, slowed down half a day before remembering that in the middle of the night yesterday, Ji Ling was ill. He himself also followed guarding him for a long time, until he was well, only then he came here to rest.
Thinking like this, Tang Xiaobao did not ask anyone to come in to serve him, but stumbled into his own clothes and went to see Ji Ling at the first opportunity. Looking at the small servant sleeping on the footsteps, Tang Xiaobao did not wake him up, just carefully bypassed him, came to the side of the bed and looked at the sleeping person, looking at the original’s blue and white face, this time, a trace of blood is not there, even… even the breathing appears to be very weak, he looks like a corpse.
Tang Xiaobao looked at him, and suddenly felt a little sad about this realization. From the time he came to this world, the first person he saw without malice was Ji Ling, and now looking at him like this, he was vaguely sad. Although Ji Ling has been scaring him, he has never done anything too much to himself, but has been to protect his position here.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaobao reached out and gently touched his hand, and indeed it was even cooler than the original. Staring at his face, Tang Xiaobao was a bit unhappy, just stood there in a daze and stared at him.
When Ji Ling hazily felt that someone was looking at him, he opened his eyes and saw Tang Xiaobao looking at him with tears in his eyes, looking like he was about to cry again. The Ji Ling has no strength to speak, can only stare at him, who knows as if he saw himself waking up, Tang Xiaobao’s tears all of a sudden came down, and then wiped his hand casually, turned around and went out.
Listening to the noise outside, I knew that this crybaby husband had gone out to look for someone to come in to help.
After finishing the bowl of ginseng soup and feeling his body warming up slightly, he then seriously looked at Tang Xiaobao, who had been carefully staring at him, and said in a very cold tone, “My young wife, you should cry less.”
Tang Xiao Bao, who originally wanted to open his mouth and ask Ji Ling what kind of disease he was having, his face turned red when he heard this sentence. He is ashamed, he likes to cry. This matter, he can’t control himself. In the past, because of this, he was bullied by the school children. Who knows, even here, he can not change this habit, so he suddenly felt depressed.
Not caring about the depressed Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling towards his side of the subordinate commanded: “Cai Yue will accompany the young madam out to buy some clothes, jewellery, Feng Ling, today’s business you put it off for me. In recent days.I have to recuperate.” After saying that, he coughed again as if he couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Yes.” Hearing the command, both of them were very respectful.
After coughing for a few moments and then slowing down, and then falling asleep again under the wait of the subordinates, Tang Xiaobao finished his breakfast in a bored manner, and then followed Cai Yue out the door.
“Young Madam, do you want to go to see the jewellery first, or buy clothes?” Cai Yue stood by Tang Xiaobao’s side and replied very respectfully, but the aura around her was not like a maid at all, instead she looked like a young lady who was travelling together.
“Whatever.” He wasn’t interested in any of this anyway, he just wanted to come out and see what kind of place he had arrived at, whether he bought anything or not, it was secondary.
“Then Young Madam, let’s go look at the jewellery first.” Cai Yue looked at the mindless Tang Xiao Bao and suggested.
After thinking about it, anyway, it was Ji Ling’s order, looking at the appearance, no matter what, she had to buy them, so he answered. So the two of them took some guards and went towards the biggest jewellery building here.
After he stepped into the jewellery building, two pretty girls came in behind him, one of them looked at Tang Xiaobao’s back and said to the other girl with better colour: “Look, is the one who just went in your cheap little brother?”
