Chapter 196: 189: After drinking, Miss Wen’s body became very honest (first update) Chapter 196: 189: After drinking, Miss Wen’s body became very honest (first update) Mr. Xie was at Jade Curtain Garden.

In this season, the capital had already begun to cool.

No one knew how long Mr. Xie had soaked in the water last night, but while his clothes were dry, the sofa was wet, and there was water on the floor. He had closed all the doors and windows, leaving the room air stagnant. The scent of agarwood mixed with the smell of tobacco was hardly pleasant—too intense, making the air feel thin and causing discomfort.

The bottle of foreign liquor on the table was open, its alcohol content evaporating recklessly.

Mr. Xie lay on the sofa, not bothering to pull the curtains. He shielded his eyes with a hand and, upon hearing the door open, gave no response, too lazy to move an inch.

Gu Kaiyun first went to open a window to let in some fresh air.

“Your grandfather called me to come and check on you,” he said.

Mr. Xie’s finger bore a cut, likely from a knife used to open a bottle. He hadn’t taken care of it, and it had already scabbed over. His face was pale, an unhealthy pallor.

Vulnerable, despondent.

There was a term that fit Mr. Xie perfectly at that moment: wounded beauty aesthetic.

Gu Kaiyun tidied up the liquor bottle and, noticing the knife on the table with bloodstains, frowned.

“You look like you don’t want to live,” he remarked.

Mr. Xie denied it, “That’s not true.”

How could he dare to die? His life was bought with Wen Changling’s ears.

Gu Kaiyun went behind the sofa, pulled Mr. Xie’s hand over, and checked his pulse, which was rapid. The external pathogen had entered the body, indicative of a floating pulse; his body temperature was also higher than normal.

Gu Kaiyun had brought a medical kit with all the basic medicines.

He prepared the proper dosage and poured a glass of water, placing it on the coffee table, “Take the medicine.”

“What is this?”

“For the fever, and to fight infection,” Gu Kaiyun explained, suspecting he had been feverish for quite some time and showing signs of dehydration.

Mr. Xie stared at the medicine, seemingly lost in thought. After a long silence, he asked Gu Kaiyun, “If I don’t take it, could it burn out my ears?”

Being deaf wouldn’t be so bad.
