Chapter 1439 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
fever?
Shi Li reached out and touched her cheek, which felt burning hot.
She was worried that Luo Qingyan would have a fever, but it turned out that she was the clown.
"I... am fine." As soon as Shi Li opened her mouth, her hoarse voice startled both herself and Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan's brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and he said unhappily: "Are you swallowing sand in your throat?"
Shi Li glared at him and refrained from speaking. After all, if she opened her mouth to speak now, her throat would feel like swallowing razor blades, so it was better not to speak unless necessary.
She walked to the side of the errand boy, but unexpectedly Luo Qingyan followed her and kept talking to her.
"You won't be able to travel tomorrow in this condition."
"Let's find an inn nearby tomorrow."
"I remember there is a small town about two miles away from here. I should be able to find a doctor in the town..."
Shi Li took the water bag and drank half of it before he freed his eyes to look at Luo Qingyan.
He was in such a hurry to travel before, but now he took the initiative to ask for a rest. It's really like the sun rising from the west.
"Since the trip has been delayed, Master Luo won't deduct the money for the escort, right?" Shi Li asked with some doubt.
In fact, she also wanted to find an inn to rest first.
However, the reason was not because he felt uncomfortable, but because he was worried that if he continued on his journey in this state, he would encounter danger and would not be able to prepare in time.
Luo Qingyan was stunned by the question, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not that... I won't deduct any points! I won't deduct even a penny from you!"
After the rain stopped, the clear night sky was filled with bright moonlight. Shi Li shook the half remaining water bag and chuckled. She found Luo Qingyan's gritting of teeth a little funny.
Taking advantage of the night, she took a step closer to him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Luo, for the sake of your life, you have to keep it a secret for me. Tomorrow, you can say that it's you who has a fever. Anyway, your face was so red before, no one will suspect it."
[The anchor suddenly has an IQ! ]
[What are you talking about? The anchor is not stupid, he just didn't bother to think before~]
[But does the anchor need to be so cautious? Does he have to hide his fever from those around him? ]
[Better safe than sorry, the host is right! ]
There were many different opinions in the comments. Some of the friends who had been watching for a long time felt a little pity for Shi Li when they saw that she was not feeling well, and silently clicked on the gift-sending interface.
I don’t know if it was their illusion or the system’s intentional design, but the gift-sending process was exceptionally smooth. Some friends even accidentally sent several extra gifts.
Seeing Shi Li’s blushing cheeks, he felt too embarrassed to ask the system for a refund since he had given too many gifts.
“Is it so?”
Luo Qingyan watched Shi Li approach him and found that Shi was holding his breath and couldn't speak fluently.
Shi Li held the water bag high against her hot cheek, still smiling nonchalantly, "It's up to you whether you listen or not. You're the one in danger anyway."
Luo Qingyan: ...
He didn't know whether he was frightened by Shi Li's words or for some other reason, but he couldn't fall asleep for the rest of the night. He kept his eyes open until dawn, when the Enlightenment Star gradually disappeared from the horizon.
Shi Li drank water silently for half the night. Her strong physique made her fever go away quickly, but she must still be feeling uncomfortable. She forced herself to call for everyone.
"Mr. Luo is not feeling well. Let's go to a nearby inn to rest for a day." She announced to everyone. She saw Luo Qingyan out of the corner of her eye. He lowered his head and did not refute the truth.
No one else thought it was wrong, except Yi Can who quietly approached Shi Li.
"I see that junior sister doesn't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" The man's wounds had been re-bandaged. He was wearing a clean white shirt and his eyes were full of concern when he lowered his head.
Shi Li shook her head without hesitation, "I'm fine, my body is made of iron."
Yi Can seemed not to believe it and just stared at her again and again.
Not far away, a bearded escort leader saw the two men looking at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice as loud as a bell.
"I've told the shopkeeper before that the eldest lady and Yi Can are a perfect match. It looks like we can have a glass of wedding wine when we return from this escort mission, hahaha!"
"That's right! The eldest lady's dowry is very generous this time!" The people around also echoed.
The sound was not loud enough for Shi Li and Yi Can to hear, but it could be clearly heard by Luo Qingyan.
A nameless fire immediately burned in my chest.
He clenched his fists.
This vulgar woman actually wanted to use his money as a dowry to marry another strange man? !
