Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Fever

"Look up!"

Shen Yunqing instinctively obeyed and looked up, and the next moment, something cool and soothing was placed on his forehead.

Then a wet wipe with a faint mint scent was handed to him, "Wipe off the sweat."

The cool scent lingered in his nostrils, instantly dispelling some of the irritation.

Finally, a transparent disposable cup filled with green tea, "It’s cold."

Without any hesitation, he took it and gulped it down, "Is there more?"

Lu Zhengzheng was about to go over and pour more, but Jiang Lingxi, who was closer, swiftly took the kettle instead.

Shen Yunqing originally held the cup with one hand, but seeing this, he instinctively switched to holding it with both hands.

Jiang Lingxi noticed his movement, pursed her lips, and expertly poured him another full cup.

"Thank you."

"No need to be polite."

The break wasn’t long before Wei Xiao was reminding everyone through a megaphone to get ready and finish filming.

Shen Yunqing re-tied the still damp towel around his face, stood up, and was about to go for a retake.

Jiang Lingxi: "Wait."

As Shen Yunqing turned to look at her, she pointed to her own forehead, "You still have something on your head."

Shen Yunqing touched his forehead and peeled off a green shiny thing, his mouth under the towel twitched involuntarily.

He almost appeared in the shot with that green patch on.

Jiang Lingxi reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, Shen Yunqing swiftly pulled open his collar, directly placed the cold patch on his collarbone, and then covered it with his collar, making it invisible.

Well, it works, kind of.

Once the retake was finished, the director finally announced the end of the shoot, and Jiang Lingxi glanced at her phone to check the time.

It was almost 10 p.m.

After removing makeup, they’d still have to drive back to the hotel.

Wei Minmin even suggested going for a late-night snack, but both Jiang Lingxi and Xu Ling’an flatly refused.

Wei Xiao stopped Shen Yunqing, who had just changed out of his costume in the van.

"It was a hard day for you, Mr. Shen. The crew has to continue filming early tomorrow morning. How about staying at the crew’s hotel for the night?"

Today’s scenes were the heaviest for Shen Yunqing, and Wei Xiao was concerned that after a busy day, Shen Yunqing would be exhausted if he went home and then returned to the set early for hair and makeup.

Staying at the crew’s hotel would at least grant him two more hours of sleep.

Shen Yunqing didn’t insist on going home, nodded, and agreed, "Alright, I’ll listen to Director Wei."

Thus, on the way back to the crew’s hotel, Jiang Lingxi hitched a ride on Shen Yunqing’s van, which could sit, recline, and even have room to stroll around.

This time, however, Jiang Lingxi didn’t chat much with Shen Yunqing. It wasn’t that there was nothing to say, but she noticed, "You don’t look too well, are you tired?"

Shen Yunqing’s hair was still a bit wet from washing his face in the van’s small bathroom; he planned to shower at the hotel instead.

He met Jiang Lingxi’s concerned gaze and smiled, responding, "I’m okay."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Still as stubborn as ever.

"Don’t just sit there, go rest on the bed. I’ll wake you when we get to the hotel."

"I..."

"Feeling embarrassed in front of me? Shall I have Assistant He stop the van, and I’ll go back to my vehicle?"

"I’ll go."

Jiang Lingxi propped her chin on her hand, watching as Shen Yunqing obediently lay down on the bed without moving.

Does he sleep this quietly too?

After observing for a while and confirming that he really was that quiet, she finally averted her gaze, not noticing Shen Yunqing’s subtle sigh of relief as he lay on the bed.

When the van stopped in the hotel’s underground parking lot, Jiang Lingxi got up and walked to the bed, about to call him, but saw Shen Yunqing already opening his eyes.

"Are we there?"

Jiang Lingxi heard his slightly hoarse voice and furrowed her brows briefly. In the end, she decided not to touch his forehead to check his temperature, mainly because she was afraid he would be startled and burrow further under the blanket, "Mhm, continue sleeping in your room."

Although Shen Yunqing usually didn’t stay at the crew-arranged hotel and only came when he had announcements, they still reserved a room for the male lead next to Jiang Lingxi’s, the female lead.

At their respective room doors, they wished each other goodnight and went to their rooms.

By nearly eleven, Jiang Lingxi decided against a relaxing bubble bath. She quickly showered, drank some sweet milk brought by Lu Zhengzheng, and prepared to rest.

Who knew, just as she lay down and hadn’t even covered herself with the blanket, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Zhengzheng was still awake, scrolling through her phone on the sofa. Hearing the sound, she quickly stood up and peered through the peephole.

Jiang Lingxi, shuffling in her slippers, went out, "Who is it?"

"It’s Assistant He, he looks a bit anxious." Lu Zhengzheng was surprised, but still opened the door promptly.

Seeing Jiang Lingxi, dressed in a bathrobe with her hair down, Assistant He couldn’t worry about anything else, "Sorry to disturb you, Miss Jiang. I wanted to ask if you have any cold medicine or fever reducers?"

He initially planned to buy some, but wasn’t sure where the nearest pharmacy was, so he decided to try his luck next door.

Jiang Lingxi’s heart tightened suddenly, "Is Shen Yunqing running a fever?"

"Yes..."

Seeing his nod, Lu Zhengzheng swiftly fetched the portable medicine box. Jiang Lingxi took it, wrapped herself in a shawl from the coat rack, and headed outside.

Assistant He originally wanted to suggest just giving him the medicine but before he could speak, Jiang Lingxi was already out the door, so he quickly followed.

The door to the next room was ajar, and Jiang Lingxi pushed it open directly.

The rooms were identical, and she immediately spotted a figure sitting motionless on the sofa.

Walking over, the person on the sofa seemed to only just realize what was happening, slowly lifting his head, "Your Maj..."

The words didn’t come out because Jiang Lingxi had already covered his mouth with her hand.

Warm breath brushed against her palm, Jiang Lingxi turned to the wide-eyed Assistant He and Lu Zhengzheng watching them, "Out."

Before they realized it, they were already in the hallway.

After exchanging looks, Lu Zhengzheng cleared her throat, "With our Xixi taking care of Mr. Shen, Assistant He, why don’t you come to our room for a bit?"

"Ah, alright."

In the room, Jiang Lingxi watched as Lu Zhengzheng and Assistant He exited, closing the door behind them. She released her hand, rubbed her palm, and then pressed the back of her hand against Shen Yunqing’s forehead, "It’s so hot!"

He seemed fine when they got out of the car, but in less than an hour!

The green cooling patch was placed back on his forehead. Jiang Lingxi opened a bottle of water and took out fever reducers, cold medicine, and anti-inflammatories from the medical kit, measuring the correct doses, "Hold out your hand."

Shen Yunqing immediately complied, extending his hand.

Jiang Lingxi placed the pills in his palm and handed him the cup, "Take all of these."

Without hesitation, Shen Yunqing swallowed the medicine with water until it was all gone.

After finishing, he spread his hands, "All done."

"Mhm, you’re quite obedient," Jiang Lingxi praised him casually, before her tone changed, "What did you just call me?"

"Your Majesty."

Listening to him call out the title without hesitation, Jiang Lingxi squinted her eyes.

Alright then!
