Chapter 708 - Body Heat
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xie Ming was lying on the hospital bed with Liwei lying beside her. Her head was on his arm as she snuggled into his embrace while making sure to not press her hand against him too hard.
The bed was large enough to fit two people on it easily so she suggested him to lie down beside her.
Seeing his worn-out complexion and blackhead under the eyes, it was clear that he didn't get a proper rest in the last few days. Her heart tore apart seeing him in this condition and that's only because he was worried and was taking care of her.
They were in that position for some time as she made small circles on his chest and was smiling seeing his closed eyes. They didn't say anything for long and stayed in the same position while listening to each other's heartbeat.
" Xie Ming…." Liwei called her name while rubbing her back gently, with his closed eyes.
" Hm?" she raised her head and looked at him in confusion, sensing his stiff tone.
" You...You didn't go anywhere right? I mean… the past life that you talked about. Everything was fine, right?" he asked in a raspy shaky voice. He was afraid to ask this question because he was not sure if his words were making sense or not.
He was not sure about the exceptional phenomenon since he doesn't know much about it and it was still difficult for him to swallow this truth. But he was afraid about thinking of her going back to that world. He doesn't want to part with her and the last few days were like pure torture to him.
Xie Ming froze upon hearing his question. She was silent for a few moments which alarmed him. He looked at her worriedly but she smiled, patted on his chest, and said in a low voice, " Don't worry. I am not leaving you and going anywhere." she said to comfort him.
He pursed his lips and stared at her with mixed expressions. He could see her hesitance and discomfort. He stared at her for a moment as if he was trying to read her thoughts but seeing her smiling at him, he sighed and didn't probe her further to talk. He doesn't want to force her to talk if she is not ready. She must be more shocked and scared than he is. Right now, she needs his comfort and understanding and not him being curious.

" Haaa!" Zhao Ming gasped in shock as her eyes snapped open and she panted heavily while looking at the familiar ceiling with her eyes wide open. Her body shivered uncontrollably as she looked at the surroundings and the pain was sending electric currents through her body making her tremble.
The pain was too much for her to endure as tears made their way to her cheeks. She grasped the bedsheet tightly when something was twisting inside her heart. She couldn't even speak a word and her lips were quivering, turning her complexion to ashen. She didn't even have the energy to moan or cry loudly for help. She was feeling extremely weak and exhausted.
Ji Cheng who was lying beside her and was sleeping, woke up with a start when he felt her shiver in his arms. He was shocked and looked at her in worry, " Zhao Ming...Zhao Ming, what happened? Are you okay? Zhao Ming!" he immediately sat up and looked at her in worry as he shouted while shaking her shoulders.
He didn't have the time to think about the fact that she had woken up. All he could see was weak and shivering Zhao Ming whose complexion was white and sickly. Her complexion looked worse than before.
" Feng Ju! Feng Ju!" He shouted and Feng Ju who was guarding outside his room broke into the room upon hearing his voice and looked at Zhao Ming who was shivering in shock.
" Bring Aunt Shen Jia, fast." Ji Cheng shouted, at which the latter nodded and acted immediately to bring Shen Jia from her chamber.
-
Shen Jia closed her eyes and placed her hand on Zhao Ming's forehead while holding down her wrist with the other. She stayed like this for a while and chanted some mysterious chants while Ji Cheng looked at her with his wide eyes and rubbed his psalm in nervousness.
However, Zhao Ming's complexions started to become normal by the time Shen Jia was almost done with her rituals. The color of her face started to return as her frowning expressions changed to relaxing ones. She stopped shivering and fell sound asleep.
Ji Cheng looked at Shen Jia in shock, seeing Zhao Ming sleeping again. "She...why did she fall asleep again? What happened to her?"
Shen Jia breathed out and removed her hand over Zhao Ming's forehead and stood up slowly. She faced Ji Cheng and said, " Your Majesty, Zhao Ming is fine now. She is just a little weak and sleeping."
" Don't worry. She will wake up after resting for a while. And...I will send a medicine through Lu Shi, you should feed her and let her rest. Also, don't worry even if she gets a fever after having the medicine. " she said while glancing at Zhao Ming before leaving the room.
-
Zhao Ming who slowly gained her consciousness after hours, her eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes and she looked at the familiar surrounding. She pursed her lips realizing that she had finally managed to leave that strange dark place.
Her heart started to beat like crazy upon remembering that suffocating experience. However, she frowned upon remembering the killing pain that she experienced earlier. She thought that she is going to die because of that body splitting pain and it was something she has never experienced before,
However, she remembered seeing Shen Jia's face before falling into a slumber.
"Ah, You woke up." she was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Ji Cheng's words who just came out of the bathroom. She blinked and saw his naked upper body. Her eyes widened realizing that he was only wearing his pants and was walking to her in a half-naked state.
She gulped and wondered if he was planning to do something to her in this state. " What..what.." she wanted to ask what he was doing but her voice didn't come out. She looked at him in shock and her mouth parted slightly.
Ji Cheng walked to her and climbed on the bed while holding a towel in his hand. He looked at her and was confused by her reaction. He followed her gaze and when he noticed that she was looking at his chest, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He let out a low chuckle and said, " Don't think anything strange. You got a high fever due to Aunt Shen Jia's medicine and you were shivering, so I was just trying to warm you up with my body heat. Also, I brought a towel to wipe your body so that you won't feel uncomfortable due to all that sweat." he said.
Just as Shen Jia had instructed, he had fed her the medicine while she was sleeping. But, she got a high fever after that, causing her to shiver due to the fever and the chilly weather made it worse. He covered her with numerous blankets but she continued shivering. In the end, he had no choice but to remove his clothes and hugged her tighter to warm her with his body heat.
