The youth's pupils constricted slightly. He got up and lifted the girl onto the bed.
With a flicker of thought, a pack of tissues appeared in his hand. He patiently wiped the sweat from the girl's forehead.
Suddenly, the girl's lips moved, as if saying something.
Xu Lü leaned closer to her lips, trying hard to hear her words clearly.
"...A Bai... Jin Tian..."
The youth frowned, who was his sister calling?
Abruptly, the girl's body trembled, her whole frame shaking.
Xu Lü's face showed panic. Barefoot, he quickly ran out of the living room.
He saw the two of them by the sofa, not asleep.
Upon hearing footsteps, they sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister isn't feeling well..."
The two exchanged a look and quickly rushed to the room.
Jie Yanyun touched her forehead, feeling an intense heat.
She sighed, "She's indeed got a fever. Xiao Chun, go get the things we prepared."
"Okay."
Jie Yanyun extended a hand, emitting a white light, and gently covered the girl's forehead.
After the heat on her forehead subsided a little, she stopped.
Although she was a healer, healing ability was more effective for external injuries. For fevers and colds like this, medicine was still needed.
Jie Yanyun had experience with children and knew what to do.
Fortunately, Xu Qian had prepared plenty of food in the car, even a first-aid kit.
She placed a thermometer under her armpit to take her temperature, then tore open a cooling patch and applied it to her forehead.
Tears seemed to well up in the youth's eyes. He asked in a trembling voice, "Yanyun... when will my sister wake up?"
"She'll wake up when the fever breaks. Don't worry." She tucked the blanket around Xu Qian tighter, "Let her sweat it out, she'll be fine."
"Xiao Chun, go and boil a pot of congee. Xiao Qian should eat something light when she wakes up."
Yi Chun quickly nodded. The most important person in the team was the strategist. She needed to recover quickly, especially with so many people chasing her. She couldn't afford to collapse!
Jie Yanyun took out the thermometer, shook it, and said softly, "39... almost 40. Her fever is too high."
She searched through the first-aid kit. Fortunately, it was well-equipped with common fever reducers.
It was also fortunate that she had used her ability, otherwise the fever would have been even worse.
"Xiao Lü, help her sit up. I'll give her the medicine."
"Okay."
Jie Yanyun ground the medicine into powder and mixed it with water in a cup. She didn't dare to give too much, just one spoonful.
It was difficult to feed someone unconscious without it spilling.
"Xiao Lü, I'll give Xiao Qian the medicine. You absolutely must not let a drop spill, understand? If it spills, it won't be effective, and your sister's illness will be hard to cure."
Xu Lü nodded, seemingly understanding. Anyway, he just had to make sure no medicine spilled.
Jie Yanyun was speechless. She had originally intended for him to feed her mouth-to-mouth, but she hadn't expected Xu Lü to be so clueless.
The girl lay in the youth's arms, his expression tense, her face pale. The scene was truly beautiful...
Of course, it would be even more beautiful if she wasn't there.
Jie Yanyun gently pinched her cheeks, forming her mouth into an 'o' shape.
"Xiao Lü, you hold her mouth. Remember, absolutely no spilling."
"Mhm."
Jie Yanyun often fed medicine to children like this. This was a slightly older child, making it easier.
The medicine was successfully administered.
As soon as the medicine touched her tongue, Xu Qian almost sprang up to vomit. However, both of them were prepared. One held her lower body, and the other held her upper body.
Xu Lü pinched her mouth shut with one hand, absolutely ensuring not a drop would spill.
Soon, Xu Qian stopped struggling and lay quietly.
Jie Yanyun breathed a sigh of relief. At least the medicine was in.
When she poured another spoonful of water to help Xu Qian rinse her throat, the girl refused to open her mouth.
Jie Yanyun shook her head, "Xiao Qian, you're so vigilant even in your sleep."
"Xiao Lü, keep an eye on her. I'll go check on the congee."
"Okay."
Xu Lü let her lean into his embrace, remaining motionless in that position.
The youth's voice choked with emotion, "Sister... please wake up soon. I miss you."
