Chapter 314
Wu Liang's eyes were fixed on the white paper with the prescription written on it on the table.
There was not a trace of emotion in those empty eyes.
That was the doctor's advice as he left.
This advice was also written specifically for Yao Shi's current physical condition.
Yao Qing, on the other hand, covered her forehead and kept her head down without saying a word.
As if blaming himself for this incident, Yao Qing regretted his carelessness for the first time.
He didn't take Yao Shi's discomfort to heart.
If we had noticed this earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Young Master, Mr. Yao Qing, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? You've been sitting here for several hours."
"I will inform you both after Miss Shi Yaoshi's fever subsides."
Gu Yilei felt a pang of pity as she looked at the dazed Wu Liang.
Young Master Wu Liang and Mr. Yao Qing have maintained this appearance ever since they returned home.
Especially after hearing the doctor's diagnosis, the two of them were extremely depressed.
Especially the young master, his concern for Miss Shi Yaoshi is far beyond what words can describe.
"Tears, you all go down first, don't worry about us."
"It's nothing. Milutin is still taking good care of Yao Shi. We can just wait here a little longer."
Having recovered from his daze, Wu Liang couldn't help but look up at a corner of the second floor.
Milutin has been taking care of Yao Shi in her bedroom for some time now.
There shouldn't be any problems, right? Is Yao Shi still running a fever...?
"My mistake, I clearly noticed that Yao Shi was acting strangely before."
Yao Qing slumped down on the sofa.
This was his mistake; he shouldn't have treated it as a minor issue in the first place.
He dismissed Yao Shi's discomfort as simply a cold and dizziness.
Little did they know that Yao Shi's body had recently become so exhausted.
"I am also involved; a large part of the reason why Yao Shi has become like this is because of me."
Wu Liang pressed his temples, trying hard to recall what the doctor had said earlier.
"This young lady appears extremely tired; there's no indication that she's had a good night's sleep."
"Although her physique is much stronger than the average person, it's clear that this young lady values physical exercise."
"But I can say with 100% certainty that this young lady hasn't had a single good night's sleep in the past two weeks."
"This young lady didn't get any proper relaxation; she probably slept less than three hours last night."
"So even if this young lady's body is incredibly strong, she couldn't withstand this kind of mental torment."
"The reason this young lady suddenly fell ill today is entirely due to a sudden onset of fatigue accumulated over a long period of time."
"I've already prescribed the medicine, and I've written down some precautions and foods that I can't eat recently."
"But Young Master Wu Liang, you must remember, the main reason this young lady fell ill is that she didn't get enough rest."
Only sleep can restore her energy, and we absolutely must never let this young lady be so overworked again.
The doctor's words of advice before leaving echoed like thunder deep within Wu Liang's mind.
Lack of sleep and overwork
These two words kept colliding deep within his mind.
Some details that he had previously overlooked suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Why does he always find Yao Shi's room light on when he gets up in the middle of the night?
Why has the kitchen staff been frequently reporting to him lately that they always find signs of use when they inspect the kitchen in the early morning?
Why did Yao Shi's cooking skills improve so rapidly in such a short time?
Why does Yao Shi always wake up later in the morning lately?
Why has he been seeing Yao Shi constantly touching her forehead and rubbing her eyebrows lately?
"Yao Shi deliberately chose to cook at night so that I could make me an edible meal... and so that I wouldn't find out she was secretly learning the recipe."
"She's already exhausted from managing the household and the company all day, and now she's staying up late every night learning to cook..."
After sorting through all the clues, Wu Liang felt a mix of emotions, like a bottle of mixed flavors had been churned inside him. He couldn't bring himself to say Yao Shi was foolish.
But if she were to be praised, Wu Liang would want to give her a good scolding.
"That idiot girl, why is she so eager to achieve quick results?"
Wu Liang was also seething with hatred, but he couldn't say anything more.
After all, everything Yao Shi did was to gain his approval.
"Young Master! Yao Shi's fever has completely subsided; that doctor's medicine is very effective!!!"
"Come and see! She's said your name 520 times today!!"
Milutin ran out of the second-floor stairwell, her face beaming with excitement, and shouted loudly.
Yao Shi's condition has finally stabilized...
Chapter Thirty-Two: Night Talk
It's already 3 a. m.
The entire city fell silent, as if it had fallen asleep.
A cool evening breeze blew into the room through the window.
Sitting on the windowsill, Wu Liang looked at the scenery outside the window and tightened his clothes.
After a moment of silence, he slowly got up and closed the window next to him that was slightly ajar.
"Milutin, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
He turned to look at Milutin, who was waiting by the bedside.
In this dark and gloomy room, the other person's fiery red hair stood out even more.
Especially her beautiful eyes, like rubies shining in the dark night.
It has been a long time since Milutin returned with Yao Shi.
Before he and Yao Qing returned, Milutin took meticulous care of them.
Milutin should be exhausted by now.
It would be better to take a short rest.
He didn't want Milutin to collapse from overwork like Yao Shi.
"Young master, it's alright. I don't have anything to do right now anyway."
"Besides, the child is now fast asleep, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Milutin sat beside Yao Shi and gently stroked her hair.
She would occasionally wipe the other person's smiling face with a handkerchief, her bright red eyes filled with doting affection.
After taking the medicine, Yao Shi fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up. She could sleep like a pig.
However, this also reflects that Yao Shi's spirit has indeed reached its limit.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other person to remain in such a deep sleep for so long without waking up.
"You've already had a long day, there's no need for you to stay up all night here."
"I don't want to see you suddenly fall ill like Yao Shi."
Wu Liang leaned against the windowsill and spoke softly.
He knew Milutin's personality all too well.
Even if he said that, this guy wouldn't obediently listen to him.
Yao Shi and Milutin have a good relationship, and Milutin also values Yao Shi very much.
Although the two of them would bicker over trivial matters from time to time.
But that also reflects the depth of their relationship.
Now that Yao Shi has suddenly turned into this state, Milutin's level of worry is no less than his.
"Hehe, young master, can I take that as you being concerned about me?"
Milutin rubbed his stiff neck.
He stretched vigorously, and his bones cracked and popped.
Hmm, she's been in the same position for too long, and her body is a bit stiff now.
"Can I lie down for a bit? Your bed is pretty big anyway."
Milutin leaned close to Yao Shi's face and smiled slightly.
She turned and lay down gently beside Yao Shi.
He stared at Yao Shi's profile for a while.
Milutin shifted her body and rested her head on the other side.
Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from the pillow, she held the back of her head with both hands and silently looked up at the ceiling.
"Young master, it's alright for me to sleep here."
"But what about you? You can't possibly sleep here with me, can you? Even though this bed can fit three people."
Turning to look at Wu Liang, who was sitting on the windowsill deep in thought, Milutin suddenly asked a question.
Young master, are you really planning to stay here all night?
"I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep."
"I'll stay here a little longer before leaving."
Wu Liang rolled his eyes at Milutin, who was sleeping next to Yao Shi.
Milutin has always been this frivolous old man, saying things like, "That bed can fit three people."
Don't be ridiculous. Even if that bed could sleep ten people, he wouldn't sleep with those two.
"I'm not sleepy, I'm just a little stiff and want to relax."
"Young master, you shouldn't just sit there. There are chairs here."
Milutin beckoned to Wu Liang, gesturing for Wu Liang to sit down over there.
She wanted to chat with the young master a little, since she had nothing else to do anyway.
She had a feeling that the young master had many secrets that were not widely known, so she wanted to find out more about them.
"What are you planning to do now? Can't you just sleep peacefully?"
Wu Liang smiled helplessly; even lying in bed, he couldn't stay still.
If Yao Shi hadn't fallen into a deep sleep, she probably would have been woken up long ago by her conversation with Milutin.
"It's a long night, and neither of us can sleep. Don't you think we should do something meaningful at this time?"
Milutin Yao Shi pulled the blanket over herself up slightly.
She kicked off her high heels, revealing her two long, voluptuous white legs on the bed.
He leaned his whole body closer to Yao Shi, making room for her.
"Young master, why don't you lie down and rest for a while? Look, I've already made room for you."
