Mu Mingtang hooked up the two inner curtains, and before keeping the outermost bed curtain, she lowered her voice and asked, "Is your injury serious?"

"It‘s nothing huge." Xie Xuanchen also said in a low voice, "but we have to act as if it’s serious."

Mu Mingtang glanced at him helplessly and nodded to show that she understood him.

She knew what to do, so for the next few days, things such as getting dressed, crowning him, serving him tea were all her tasks. Sometimes Mu Mingtang wondered if Xie Xuanchen did this on purpose, and deliberately pretended to be sick to order her around.

What's even worse is that Mu Mingtang couldn't tell when he pretended to be sick and when he was really sick.

Mu Mingtang pulled the bed curtains aside, and the maids outside knew that they could come in. The maids brought along the tools needed to wash up, and after Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were both done washing up, they went to the back to get dressed.

Mu Mingtang wasn’t used to being dressed by someone else, and no one dared to serve Xie Xuanchen, so the two of them always dressed themselves. It's just that now Xie Xuanchen is "ill," and dressing him has become Mu Mingtang's ordeal again.

Mu Mingtang only had the outerwear of her outfit on, and the earthworms used for heating purposes hadn't burned up this early in the morning yet, so it was slightly cold. Seeing as her body was slightly trembling, Xie Xuanchen felt guilty, and stretched out his hand to cover Mu Mingtang's shoulder: "Is it cold?"

"I just got out of bed, and I’m just not used to it yet." Mu Mingtang's body straightened, Xie Xuanchen's hand was pressed on her shoulder, and she could clearly feel the temperature from his palm.

Mu Mingtang slightly stiffened. Although they are used to having physical contact, they were mostly to support the other. There were also several layers of clothes in between, and there was no real touch. With only a thin layer of clothes, Mu Mingtang could clearly feel his fingers on her body, as if he was directly touching her skin.

Xie Xuanchen’s intention was to keep Mu Mingtang warm, but after reaching out to hold her shoulders, he realised that she was shaking even more. Xie Xuanchen was surprised and asked, "Are you that cold? You’re trembling."

Mu Mingtang was even more embarrassed. She wanted to push his hand away, but she still had clothes in both hands and couldn’t empty her hand to do so. She could only say, "I'm not cold, let go of me first."

"How dare you say you’re not cold, you’re shaking so much." Xie Xuanchen said, as he slowly moved his hand from her shoulder to her forearm, and slowly warmed her with the palms of his hands. Mu Mingtang felt that her upper body had completely turned into wood. She froze there for a while and stiffly buttoned Xie Xuanchen’s clothes.

After taking care of him, Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly backed away a few steps: "Okay, I'm going to change now, quickly step out."

Xie Xuanchen nodded, he didn't think much of it, he took another coat of his own from the screen, put it on Mu Mingtang, and covered her tightly: "This way, you won't feel cold anymore. I'll go out first."

Mu Mingtang, who had Xie Xuanchen's clothes on her, nodded stiffly. Xie Xuanchen's clothes were too big for Mu Mingtang. The shoulder area was loose, the hem was too long, and the sleeves were also too long. When she was caged in this way, she seemed to be completely trapped in Xie Xuanchen's presence.

Mu Mingtang stiffened for a while, and slowly stretched out a hand from his clothes, picked up Xie Xuanchen's sleeve and took a closer look. His piece of clothing was made from a flower brocade with bright blue woven gold, which Mu Mingtang really liked. It was this material that she fancied last time, that’s why she bought out all the clothing materials, but she did not expect to snatch away Jiang Mingwei's items.
