No one knew if Luo Xichu would turn into a fool in the middle of the night.

But she had no other choice.

However, Luo Xichu was the male lead in this book, so he had to be really lucky for no reason.

If Luo Xichu couldn’t have the medicine, with the good luck that he should have, he wouldn’t become a fool so easily, right?

Bai Jinyao pondered as she slowly placed the bowl of medicine on the table.

However, the system’s mechanical voice sounded in her mind.

[If the male lead becomes a fool or dies due to the high fever, the mission will end in failure.]

Bai Jinyao was speechless.

But she couldn’t make Luo Xichu have the medicine.

If she used more strength to open Luo Xichu’s mouth, she was worried that Luo Xichu’s jaw would be dislocated by her.

[You can try to feed the medicine to him in a primitive way.]

The system gave Bai Jinyao a suggestion.

“In a primitive way? What does that mean?”

Bai Jinyao didn’t understand what the system meant.

“How can I feed the medicine to him in a primitive way? I’m now directly trying to open Luo Xichu’s mouth to feed the medicine to him. Isn’t that primitive? However, the liquid would still flow out of his mouth.”

Bai Jinyao complained to the system inwardly.

[You can change the way you feed the medicine to him. For example, you can do it like how a mother feeds babies.]

After hearing what the system said, Bai Jinyao immediately thought of a scene and she finally understood what the system meant.

Her expression was complicated then.

“Well, I don’t think so. If the male lead finds out, he might not believe my explanation!”

[You can do it!]

After the system spoke in a mechanical voice that sounded like it was cheering Bai Jinyao up, it stopped talking.

Dead silence reigned around Bai Jinyao again.

She could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

Bai Jinyao reached out and touched Luo Xichu’s forehead, which was extremely hot. After hesitating for a while, she could only use this method.

Bai Jinyao went to the next room to check on her mother’s condition. Then, she went back to the kitchen and poured the last bit of medicine in the medicine pot into the bowl.

That was all the medicine she got now.

Bai Jinyao returned to the bridal chamber with the bowl of medicine and found that Luo Xichu’s fever seemed to have gotten worse.

She stood in front of Luoxi’s bed and hesitated for a moment. Then she took a deep breath and took a big gulp of the medicine with a determined attitude.

The bitter taste made Bai Jinyao frown immediately.

She recalled Luo Xichu’s expressionless face when he was drinking the liquid.

Bai Jinyao only wanted to praise Luo Xichu for being so tough!

Then, Bai Jinyao put down the bowl, pinched Luo Xichu’s chin with one hand, and bent down.

She moved her lips closer to Luo Xichu’s.

This was a magical experience for Bai Jinyao, who had been single since she was born.

And to Luo Xichu, who was burning hot in the nightmare, the cold touch was like salvation, making him want more.

However, the sudden bitter taste shocked Luo Xichu, which made him clear for a moment.

He didn’t have any sense of taste but why did he feel something bitter?

Luo Xichu tried to open his eyes to see what was going on, but his eyelids seemed to be stuck together. He failed to open his eyes.

Bai Jinyao stood up and continued to drink and feed the medicine to Luo Xichu.

Fortunately, Luo Xichu was quite cooperative this time, and he finished the bowl of medicine in a short while.

Bai Jinyao was so tired that she was sweating profusely, and her mouth was still filled with a bitter taste.
