Chapter 24 He went out by himself

Hmm? Gu Youyou felt that Jin Zijin’s body was very hot, unusually hot!

With Gu Youyou’s years of medical experience, she could guess his temperature with a high degree of accuracy even without a thermometer, estimating it to be between 37.5 and 38 degrees Celsius, a low-grade fever?

“You…you’re sick? You’re so hot!”

“Shh, don’t move, I’m fine, go to sleep!”
Gu Youyou: “…”
She knew that a man’s body temperature would rise slightly when he was aroused, but it couldn’t be this exaggerated, could it?

And…could someone like her really be aroused? She didn’t believe it at all.

That night, Jin Zijin didn’t do anything, just held her and fell asleep.
Gu Youyou was cold-sensitive, and if the other person wasn’t a man, but a big heater, she would definitely be very happy.
Well, let’s just say he’s a big heater, then she won’t have to worry about freezing to death this winter.

…

Jin Zijin was very busy. In the morning, after accompanying her to sunbathe and feeding her breakfast, he would carry his equipment out again.

Jin Zijin was already living such a poor life on his own, with her as a burden, he should be even busier.
Lying in bed, gazing at the light streaming from the room lamp, Gu Youyou felt an overwhelming sense of desolation.
She had been in this world for half a year. From the moment she arrived, she sensed that her body was beyond saving in this ancient world lacking medicine and medical care, yet she had stubbornly survived.

Even eating and drinking only a little water a day hadn’t killed her.
Later, she stopped taking medicine, and her health slowly improved. Since she couldn’t die, she tried every possible way to live. She had planned to secretly dig a hole behind the bed and escape once she felt better, but before she could even take any action, a way to leave the haunted house was discovered.
It had to be said, Jin Zijing was quite good. For a sickly woman like her, meeting such a husband when she was terminally ill was definitely a stroke of good luck, or perhaps she had accumulated great merit in her past life.
But… Gu Youyou sighed.

How could there be such a good person in the world?
How could Jin Zijing be such a good husband!

After thinking for a long time, Gu Youyou concluded that unless this person was mentally unstable, how could he possibly bring someone like her home?

Well, time will tell. Let’s see what he’s really up to!
If he can serve me so diligently for a year or two, what’s wrong with giving him the dowry?
After resting for a while, it was noon. Gu Youyou’s stomach started growling with hunger, but she knew there was no lunch to eat. She was hungry, but it was much better than being in Gu’s haunted house; at least she had eaten her fill that morning.
She propped herself up and got out of bed, intending to walk around the room.
Getting out of bed and walking along the edge of the bed was something she could do more than a month ago, though she had to hold onto the bed frame and couldn’t walk for too long. These past two days, she felt better; even getting out of bed, her hands and feet didn’t seem as cold as before.
She wrapped herself up warmly, putting on her hood to avoid catching a cold. After walking a few steps along the bed, she tried to walk outside, holding onto the wall
There was a sturdy-looking fire poker on the stove, just a little short, but that was fine; something was better than nothing. Gu Youyou picked it up and used it as a walking stick, slowly making her way outside.
The midday sun was strong, and in the early October weather, it felt especially warm.
While most people working in the fields might find it a bit hot, Gu Youyou felt quite comfortable.

She had been lying in bed for over an hour; it was time to come out for a walk and soak up some sun!
