She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space
Chapter 231: 231: No Reward?

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: No Reward?

Jie Chen certainly wouldn’t agree.

He stared straight at her, his hoarse voice full of magnetism.

“I said, you are not allowed to use this kind of medicine on me, Xiang Ying, you cannot take my life this way!” he was hysterical, his eyes blood-red.

Yet, Xiang Ying, without any nonsense, reached out her hand and kissed him while he was caught off guard.

Hot like a desert, dry and fervent, much like the pure heart buried beneath Jie Chen’s icy exterior.

At first, he was taken aback and almost let Xiang Ying deepen the kiss.

But soon, Jie Chen stepped back, not even willing to push her away with his hand.

“Are you crazy?!” he exclaimed in shock and anger, his eyes seeming to burn with black flames.

Xiang Ying blinked and asked, “Jie Chen, you just need to answer me one question: if I were this severely ill, would you just abandon me?”

Jie Chen paused, his dark lashes slowly drooping to cover the emotions in his thin eyes.

“No.”

Xiang Ying sat beside him: “So, I feel the same. You need to live well and retrieve what belongs to you, and I need to do what I should do. Afterwards, let’s agree to meet at the destination, okay?”

Jie Chen was startled.

Coming back to his senses, he said, “My arm hurts a bit.”

When he looked down, he saw that Xiang Ying was almost done pushing the syringe.

Damn! When did she inject it?

Jie Chen coughed violently in anger, and after Xiang Ying finished injecting the medicine, she pulled out the needle and patched him up with a piece of gauze.

She extended her hand and, like caring for a child, gently patted his head.

“Good boy, take a nap after the injection, and you’ll feel better.”

But Jie Chen stared with wide eyes, refusing to close them.

Xiang Ying urged him to close his eyes, even just to rest them, but he refused.

Instead, he stared at Xiang Ying, his voice hoarsely demanding, “You must not leave; let me keep watching you.”

It was then Xiang Ying realized he believed she had given him Forget Love Medicine.

So he dared not close his eyes until now.

Xiang Ying smiled, radiant and beautiful.

Jie Chen, however, was furious, his face darkening: “You still manage to laugh? Amusing yourself by tormenting me is that fun for you?”

Xiang Ying leaned in and kissed his cheek.

“I tricked you; that wasn’t Forget Love Medicine, just a regular Divine Pill. You’ll be better in no more than three days.”

Jie Chen paused, turning his head slightly to look at her beautiful face up close.

She had just kissed him twice… So, being sick could make her drop her cold demeanor towards him?

Xiang Ying didn’t realize what Jie Chen was thinking; she pulled out a blood-drawing syringe from her space.

“You’re sick anyway; I’m going to take your blood for some research. Don’t move, okay? It’ll hurt a bit, but just bear with it.”

She reached out to draw his blood, and Jie Chen stayed still.

Xiang Ying occasionally looked up. Jie Chen maintained his position leaning against the bed, his eyebrows relaxed and gentle, his thin eyes intensely emotional, watching her as if to engrave her features deep within his heart.

After she finished drawing a tube of blood, Jie Chen raised his hand, pointing to his cheek: “Where’s my reward?”

Xiang Ying narrowed her Phoenix Eyes: “You’re asking for too much.”

Jie Chen looked at her silently, somehow making her feel pity for him.

She bit her lip: “One last time! Not every injection comes with a reward.”

After speaking, Xiang Ying leaned down, intending to kiss his cheek; unexpectedly, Jie Chen turned his face, and their lips touched, his hand supporting the back of her neck.

Like tender snow meeting fierce fire.

His body was incredibly hot.

Jie Chen quickly let go, his lips curving into a slight smile that hadn’t been there before.

“This is how it should be.”

Xiang Ying really didn’t expect that after Jie Chen fell ill, he became much more relaxed than before!

It was her turn to feel a bit unnatural: “You should lie down, this illness needs good rest, stop thinking about anything else.”

Jie Chen obediently lay down and casually responded: “I only think of you, nothing else.”

Xiang Ying took his blood to study in the space.

She also glanced at the previous epidemic analysis report.

She discovered that this epidemic, caused by not dealing with corpses timely during a famine, had never appeared in ancient times before, this was the first occurrence.

The medical equipment in the space determined that if this disease was not treated in time, the mortality rate would reach 76%.

Subsequent treatment plans and medications were provided.

Looking through them, Xiang Ying noticed most were herbal medicines, the other two were penicillin which she brought.

It’s good, since there’s a lot in the space, she would cure Jie Chen first.

However, there was one thing that puzzled her.

The Sixth Prince had someone bring Bloodstained Clothes to infect Jie Chen, but she had already replaced that item.

When did Jie Chen get infected? Could it be during the saving of the patient who escaped from Bai City, unfortunately contracting it?

Xiang Ying recalled for a moment.

If Jie Chen could be infected, then Skinny Monkey and Acid Scholar, who were in close contact at that time, likely could not avoid it either.

This disease would eventually break out in the Exile Team, she had to think of a strategy in advance.

Xiang Ying came out of the space, holding a fever reduction patch.

She had just taken it from the barter system, now placing it on Jie Chen’s forehead.

“Do you feel comfortable?”

“Um…” Jie Chen looked at her, “Do you want to feel comfortable too?”

Xiang Ying’s face flushed.

“What nonsense are you speaking! At this time, you’re still thinking of that!”

Jie Chen looked at her innocently: “I thought, you wanted to use this too.”

Xiang Ying quietly uttered an “Oh,” realizing she had thought too much.

Jie Chen started laughing beside her, his deep husky voice especially pleasant to hear.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was still ill, Xiang Ying really wanted to harshly slap his abs.

She stood up: “I need to go back first, you should sleep. I need to instruct Skinny Monkey and others not to spread the news of your illness.”

“Your brother, Lao Liu, ordered that if anyone in the team is infected, they should be cremated on the spot, I see he can’t escape his fate this time, sooner or later he will stumble.”

Jie Chen reached out and grabbed her sleeve.

“Will you come back?”

He was not interested in anything else she said, he just cared if she would return.

If she could let their intimacy prolong a bit more.

Xiang Ying blinked her dark pupils: “Of course, who will take care of you if I don’t come, but I have to wait until it’s late at night.”

Jie Chen chuckled softly: “Good, that time is convenient.”

Xiang Ying’s face went red again.

What’s going on, why does she always feel like every word Jie Chen says has a double meaning after he fell ill!

She left Jie Chen’s room and locked it from the outside.

To guard against the Sixth Prince.

Xiang Ying returned to her own room, prepared a bunch of bottles and jars to be used for children to prevent the epidemic.

Unexpectedly, just before evening, she heard Skinny Monkey’s voice outside.

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Did you just visit the Deputy General? What’s with the lock at his door, now the Sixth Prince suspects foul play and insists on breaking the lock to check.”
