Having His Capability Doubted

Fu Wen Xiao still looked very uncomfortable, his face pale, his forehead drenched in sweat, and his lips tightly pursed. Although he made no sound, a single glance was enough to see that his current condition was very poor.

Yu Li asked hesitantly, "Where do you feel unwell?"

Fu Wen Xiao remained silent.

Yu Li looked at him and did nothing else, as if waiting for his answer. She looked like a block of wood, meeting the standards of neither a wife nor a maid.

Finally, after a long while, Fu Wen Xiao opened his mouth: "I am fine."

His voice was hoarse, laced with weakness. Although his face had regained its usual calm, he leaned against the bed with a weak appearance, yet he exuded an elegant demeanor, as if nothing could break him.

The door of the room was wide open, and the moonlight poured in from outside, creating a contrast with the lamp in the room. The man under the lamplight was pale yet noble, elegant and cold.

A beauty full of contradiction.

Unfortunately, Yu Li was not someone who appreciated physical beauty. Looking at Fu Wen Xiao, she only wondered if he was about to die.

Seeing his clothes drenched in sweat, Yu Li went to fetch another basin of water into the room.

This time she did not leave. Instead, she dipped the cloth into the water and gently wiped Fu Wen Xiao's face, wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead.

After wiping his face, she reached out to undress his wet clothes.

Fu Wen Xiao's fingers twitched slightly, but he did not have the strength to stop her.

The recent bout of illness had drained all the strength from his body, and he could not recover for the time being.

"You..."

Yu Li had already stripped off half of Fu Wen Xiao's shirt, exposing his upper torso. Hearing his voice, she immediately looked up.

Fu Wen Xiao's pale face suddenly flushed red, giving him a touch of vitality and an enchanting beauty.

Waiting patiently for a moment, seeing that he said nothing more, Yu Li proactively asked, "What do you want to say?"

She didn't quite understand the meaning of the expression on Fu Wen Xiao's face, nor did she understand why his face had suddenly turned so red.

She wondered if Fu Wen Xiao was uncomfortable somewhere, as his breathing was heavier than when he was in a coma, which was clearly not right.

Fu Wen Xiao's face grew even redder, his throat feeling as if it were choked by something.

Seeing her staring at him blankly, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, which he didn't know how to express in words.

Before him was a girl who acted recklessly, yet possessed a rare, pure innocence.

With his keen observation, Fu Wen Xiao realized she had no ill intentions; all her actions stemmed from natural instinct, without any calculation.

She simply thought she needed to do this, so she did it, with no intention of causing trouble for him.

The room fell completely silent.

Fu Wen Xiao said nothing, and Yu Li made no further move, patiently waiting for him to speak. If not for the fact that he was half-naked, this situation might have been very normal.

Finally, Fu Wen Xiao proactively spoke: "Wait a moment, I... let me do it myself."

Yu Li asked bluntly, "Can you do it?"

Just now Fu Wen Xiao had also said he wanted to do it himself, but the result was that he spilled the water basin and almost fell to the ground. Looking at him now, he still hadn't recovered.

Yu Li did not understand Fu Wen Xiao's illness well; she only knew he looked very weak, as if he could stop breathing at any moment. Although he had woken up, he was still not very healthy.

She still wanted to rely on the Fu family for food and shelter, so she certainly had to be more diligent. Caring for the sick was a matter of course.

Fu Wen Xiao, being doubted about his capability by a girl for the first time, found it both amusing and absurd. Many complex emotions mingled in his heart, and in the end, he could only smile helplessly.

Fu Wen Xiao reluctantly tried to control his body, only to find his limbs limp and powerless. His clothes were drenched and clung tightly to him, which was very uncomfortable.
