It was Huo Sikai’s turn to be surprised now.
Without giving the man a chance to react, Shi Beiyu dragged him towards the side of the bed. “Have a look at her. Is she okay?”
Huo Sikai was speechless.
Fever was just a small matter. Did Shi Beiyu have to make him come over in this heavy rain just for that? Did he seem like a suicide squad to Shi Beiyu?
Huo Sikai really wanted to end his friendship with Shi Beiyu at that moment!
However, now was the time to grumble. Seeing that Mu Siyin’s face had become red from the fever, Huo Sikai tore away the cooling pad and touched her forehead.
“Yikes, it feels hot.”
Shi Beiyu rolled his eyes. “It’s a fever! Why else would it be hot?”
Huo Sikai chuckled. “Don’t get so worked up. I think she’s just having a cold. It’s nothing too serious.”
Shi Beiyu nodded his head. “She stood in the rain today.”
Huo Sikai immediately looked at Shi Beiyu when he heard this and said, “What kind of boyfriend are you? Why would you let Little Siyin stand in the rain?”
Shi Beiyu glared at the man with his cold eyes. Huo Sikai raised his hand to rub his nose before letting out a soft cough. “Whatever. Just pretend I said nothing. I’ll prescribe her some medicine. Once she takes it, she’ll be jumping around like a child. You have my word.”
Shi Beiyu had no words.
Huo Sikai jotted down his prescription and had one of the servants rush out to get the medicine despite the rain.
Only after feeding Mu Siyin the medicine did Shi Beiyu finally feel assured.
Huo Sikai was sitting on the sofa next to them all along. As he noticed how caring and serious Shi Beiyu was for a woman, he thought the world was a fascinating place.
Perhaps Shi Beiyu’s abstinence in the past was all fake. Was it because he had given his heart to someone else? Was that why he never looked at other women?
However, he did not recall Shi Beiyu and Mu Siyin knowing each other before this.
In fact, they had only just started dating. Even so, Shi Beiyu was so affectionate toward Mu Siyin. It was as if he was poisoned.
Shi Beiyu made Big Beauty Yue so mad that she almost cried at Old Master Shi’s birthday.
At the thought of this, he instinctively opened his mouth to blurt out Yue Yiru’s name. However, he kept his words to himself in the end.
If he brought up Yue Yiru in front of Mu Siyin, Shi Beiyu would definitely skin him alive!
Needless to say, Shi Beiyu was extremely speechless to see Shi Beiyu’s current state. Not only was Shi Beiyu worried, but he was also staring at Mu Siyin over her bedside like a guardian angel.
“Little Beibei, she has already taken her medicine. She’ll be fine after a short nap. You don’t have to stand guard over her like that.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Beiyu turned around and glared at him coldly. “You’re too noisy.”
The corner of Huo Sikai’s lips twitched crazily as he pointed a finger at Shi Beiyu and yelled, “How dare you treat me like that? I just helped you! I rushed over to treat your girlfriend in the pouring rain, yet not only didn’t you thank me, but you even called me noisy!”
Seeing this, Shi Beiyu paced forward and placed his hand on Huo Sikai’s shoulder. “Come, let’s have some tea downstairs.”
Huo Sikai snorted proudly. “That’s more like it!”
Huo Sikai only had the guts to clear his mind once they were downstairs.
“You’ve only been with little Siyin for a while, Little Beibei. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to argue with your family that badly over her?”
After all, they were brothers. Huo Sikai only spoke up because Shi Beiyu was too concerned about Mu Siyin.
There was a wise, ancient saying that went, ‘beauties are nothing but trouble’.
As soon as Shi Beiyu heard this, he crossed his legs on the sofa and cast Huo Sikai a glance. “They were the ones forcing me to marry another woman. Am I supposed to go with it instead of making a scene?”
Huo Sikai sighed. “I’m not asking you to go with their plans, but it was the Old Master’s birthday that day, and all the reputable families were present. No matter how pissed you were, you should’ve considered his pride at least, right?”
