Cen Huai'an ran back to the house, and before he could catch his breath, he went to the water utility room to fetch a basin of water.

He moves a stool next to the bed and puts the basin of water on the stool. Then he kneeled beside bedside, soaked a towel, and carefully placed it on Chu Xia's forehead.

When the towel gets hot, he changes it.

Cen Huai'an purses his lips and keeps his eyes on Chu Xia's face.

At first, her brows were tightly furrowed, but later they slowly loosened up, as if they weren't as uncomfortable. Cen Huai'an finally felt less panicked, and Grandma Chen was right.

So Cen Huai'an did it more seriously.

He didn't care how long he had been doing this, but he stayed kneeling by the bed, wetting the towel and changing the towel, without feeling tired or hot.

Today's weather is quite stuffy; in fact, the house is quite warm, and there is no fan in the house.

They didn't feel hot when sleeping at night, but Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an hadn't fully recovered. Using a fan could make them catch a cold, so she hadn't bought one.

When Chu Xia woke up, she saw that Cen Huai'an's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was about to put a towel on her head.

Seeing her eyes open, Cen Huai'an's eyes showed happiness, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, drink some water."

Cen Huai'an remembers Chu Xia's words: When you have a fever and sweat a lot, you should drink more water, so there is always water in the cup.

Chu Xia sweats a lot, and she feels that her fever has gone down a bit.

When she slept, she felt her head was cool and comfortable. She didn't expect that Cen Huai'an was using a damp towel to help her cool down.

She hadn't taught him this, but undoubtedly, Chu Xia was deeply moved in her heart, and when she met Cen Huai'an's concerned eyes, in an instant, Chu Xia felt her heart melt like water.

She took the towel off her head and accepted the enamel cup from Cen Huai'an's hand, and while drinking water, she used her other hand to wipe the sweat from his face.

"Who taught you the towel cooling method?" Chu Xia asks as she puts the towel into the water basin.

"Grandma Chen." Cen Huai'an still doesn't say much and doesn't say what he did for Chu Xia.

But Chu Xia knows it; Cen Huai'an must have asked Grandma Chen on purpose, and this kind of An'an makes Chu Xia want to hug him.

And she does. "An'an, I'm happy."

Cen Huai'an is suddenly hugged by his mother. He freezes, and his body stiffens, not knowing what to do.

But after hearing Chu Xia's words, his entire body relaxes, and his mouth curls upward.

Chunxia felt much better, even though she still had a slight fever and her body felt weak. However, she was in much better condition than when she woke up in the morning.

She lets go of Cen Huai'an and runs her hand over his head. "Are you tired?"

Cen Huai'an shook his head, but he was actually tired.

He had been bending over all the time, using the towel to repeatedly cool down Chu Xia, which was the most tiring part for his waist.

So when Chu Xia woke up, Cen Huai'an straightened his waist and sat on the bed, his hand secretly touching his waist, where it was most uncomfortable.
