On the road, Ji Nuan could not hold it in and sneezed several more times.

Mo Jingshen directly drove back to the Yu Garden without bringing her to eat. He immediately called Auntie Chen to boil some red sugar ginger tea for her.

Ji Nuan did not take her cold seriously. She drank a few sips of the tea and furrowed her brows from the spiciness. Since a long time ago, she had always hated drinking this sort of thing. She really could not bring herself to swallow it down. Just as she was about to put the cup down, she raised her head and saw Mo Jingshen across from her.

It seemed like if she did not swallow the tea down, she would not be able to have dinner.

“This ginger tea is really too spicy.” Ji Nuan rarely admitted her troubles. “Can I drink it after dinner?”

“Madam, dinner is already being prepared. You drink the ginger tea first; it will warm up your body.” Auntie Chen appeared from the side, nagging, “Recently a lot of people have been catching colds, and their symptoms are especially serious. Yesterday, my niece from my hometown called me and told me that she caught a cold so bad that she couldn’t leave the bed for three days. It was painful to the point where she couldn’t even open her eyes. So, Madam, you must sweat it out tonight. You can’t catch a cold ah!”

Ji Nuan raised her head. Because she did not like to drink it, she could only look at Mo Jingshen with downturned eyes.

Mo Jingshen: “Heard that? Drink it.”

Ji Nuan was helpless. She could only raise the cup and drink several sips. It was painfully spicy, but she could not no drink it. In the end, she could only pinch her nose and chug it.

In the past, Ji Nuan was not so easy to persuade when it came to things like this.

When she was young, she had suffered a bad cold in the north. Ever since then, her body had been especially prone to fevers. However, her personality was stubborn. Whenever she fell sick, she would lock herself in her room and wrapped herself under her blankets to sleep for two nights. She would refuse medicine and injections, and would not even drink the ginger tea that was so difficult to swallow.

It was only when he saw the bottom of the cup that Mo Jingshen signaled Auntie Chen to hasten with dinner preparations because on the way back Ji Nuan had complained about being hungry nonstop.

“You go back to your room and have a warm shower first. Change to more comfortable clothes and come down,” Mo Jingshen said.

Ji Nuan had been intending to do so as well. After all, after drinking the tea, her body felt warm to the point of discomfort.

Not long after she returned to her room, Ji Nuan’s mind became somewhat dizzy and heavy. She was not sure if it was because she had really caught a cold.

Thinking of having a warm bath quickly, she removed her clothes and entered the bathroom.

After sitting in the warm water for less than a minute, Ji Nuan closed her eyes. She was dazed and began to feel sleepy.

But no matter what, she could not sleep comfortably. She wanted to wake up, yet she could not.

She felt like she was being tossed between the cold and heat. One moment her body felt like it was being buried in snow, the next she felt like she was being cooked in a pot.

This feeling was extremely uncomfortable. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy to the point where she could not lift them.

A pitch-black dream appeared in her mind mercilessly.
