Xia Pingwu was indeed ill.
She only felt that she was trapped in a sea of ​​scorching flames, burning and aching all over. Her thoughts seemed to be wrapped in a thick fog and she couldn't break free no matter what.

In her daze, she dreamed of many things.
She dreamed that she went back to the year before she entered school.
In that year, in order to be the undisputed first in the entrance examination, she and Chunshan were thrown into the Ice and Fire Cave by their teacher's wife.

The climate there is changeable and the terrain is complex, so it even became a stronghold occupied by alien beasts in the late period of the First World War.
Although the strange beasts inside had been strangled to death long ago, the pollution level inside was still very high after so many years.
Except for someone of such status as the Master's wife, ordinary people wouldn't dare to get close to her.

And the two of them were thrown in just like that.
Not even anything was prepared.
Seven days later, when the teacher's wife came to pick them up, what greeted her were almost two dead bodies.

At that time, Xia Pingwu had a high fever that almost took half her life. Ming Chunshan carried her on his back, crawling in the only light in the cave, and feeding her with the water droplets flowing down the cave wall.

Just like it is now.

Someone was also holding a cup of water and feeding her medicine. The warm and soft touch of the medicine was passed to her, and Xia Pingwu was also very familiar with the taste of the medicine.
It's the medicine she's been taking recently.

recent.
Ah, she has come ten years later.

Xia Pingwu regained consciousness belatedly. She felt dizzy and couldn't open her eyes. She subconsciously called out, "Chunshan."

"I'm here." A familiar voice responded.
She felt that the hugging position was gently changed, and she was afraid that she would be uncomfortable.

The embrace was very cold, just like when we were in the ice and fire cave.
But I feel at ease.
So Xia Pingwu murmured:
"It's okay, I'll just take a nap."

The next moment, Xia Pingwu felt the force that was hugging her tighten in an instant. She wanted to say something to comfort herself, but the feeling of drowsiness came over her again.
It turns out that I have been sick like this for the past seven years.
It turns out that Chunshan has always taken care of himself in this way.

Before she was carried away by deep sleep, she only had time to say one more sentence:
"Thank you for your hard work, Chunshan."

……

When he woke up again, Xia Pingwu's fever had subsided.
The soft quilt was firmly fixed on her body. She subconsciously reached out to rub her forehead and was about to get up.

At this moment, someone pushed the door open and came over to help her:
"Sister, how are you?"

A pillow was quickly placed behind him, and Xia Pingwu looked up at Ming Chunshan:
"What time is it now?"

"I asked for leave at noon the next day."
Ming Chunshan sat down beside the bed and tucked in the corners of the quilt.
"I'm just about to make lunch, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Xia Pingwu said nothing, but looked up and gazed carefully at Ming Chunshan.

Ming Chunshan was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something, and lowered his voice: "I only took one day off, not annual leave."

Xia Pingwu shook her head but didn't say this: "Do you still have the medicine you gave me?
"I still feel a little tired. Maybe I should eat something to consolidate my mood."

Unexpectedly, Ming Chunshan pulled back and immediately denied it:
"No need to eat anymore."

She raised her eyes and met Xia Pingwu's puzzled gaze. She paused and continued to explain:
"All medicines are poisonous. I have experience. In your case, you just need to rest for a while."

Xia Pingwu nodded, then raised her eyes and continued to look at Ming Chunshan with the same focused gaze as before.

Ming Chunshan subconsciously curled his fingers and tried to maintain a gentle smile:
"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

At this moment, Xia Pingwu leaned over and touched her with his forehead.
When their foreheads touched, Ming Chunshan felt a warmth. His heart tightened and he was about to speak, but Xia Pingwu had already shrank back.

She saw Xia Pingwu tilt her head slightly, her voice full of pure worry:
"But I think maybe you should eat a little. My fever is so bad and you've been with me all the time. It's easy to get infected."

Ming Chunshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to refuse when Xia Pingwu raised her hand and gently touched his lips.
There was no less worry in her words, as if she was really just considering her safety:
"Besides, did you feed the medicine mouth to mouth?"

It happened in a flash. As soon as Xia Pingwu finished speaking, Ming Chunshan stood up immediately as if he had been scalded.

Xia Pingwu subconsciously raised her head and looked at Ming Chunshan, whose face had suspiciously turned red. She became even more confused:
"Chunshan, what's wrong with you?
"Your face is red, is it really contagious?"
This is not good. If it affects Chunshan’s work tomorrow, it would be a serious sin.

Ming Chunshan stood there without moving, just remained silent for a moment and coughed.

Look, everyone is coughing.
Xia Pingwu was more certain of his thoughts, and was about to pull her: "Look, you're coughing, let me touch your forehead again."

"Sister, I'm fine." Ming Chunshan took another step back, "It's probably because I just came out of the kitchen and was choked by the fumes.
"You haven't told me yet, what do you want for lunch?"

Xia Pingwu responded, and her attention was finally diverted. She reached for her phone:
"Come to think of it, I saw a billboard saying that every household needs to eat potatoes now. Are there any other requirements..."

Before she finished her words, the screen of her cell phone was covered by Ming Chunshan, who took a few steps forward and approached Xia Pingwu:
"It's okay, sis. I told you before, you don't have to eat anything you don't like."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Chunshan felt his hand sink. The next moment, the hand that was holding the phone touched his forehead.

Xia Pingwu suppressed the smile that was about to rise from the corners of her lips, touched Ming Chunshan carefully, then turned back and touched her own forehead, and came to a conclusion:
"It feels a little hotter than what I touched just now." This sudden move almost made Ming Chunshan laugh.
She sat down beside Xia Pingwu and sighed:
"Sister, I told you it's okay."

Xia Pingwu nodded casually, as if he finally felt that his "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" move was a bit childish.
She lowered her head, letting her curly hair cover her ears again, and she pulled Ming Chunshan's hand to look at her phone screen:
"I'll still take a look, just in case I happen to find something I like."

The warm top of her head nestled obediently in the crook of his arms. Ming Chunshan lowered his head and could clearly see Xia Pingwu swiping her phone seriously.
The small medicine bottle in his pocket just hit his hip, but Ming Chunshan seemed not to notice it. He put his arm around Xia Pingwu's shoulders and said softly:
"Sister, can I move back and sleep with you?"

Xia Pingwu didn't even raise her head. She read quickly, even starting to scroll backwards on her phone screen:
"Don't you come here every day to sleep with me? Why did you ask me today?"

"I think we won't have to ask for permission to sleep together forever."
Ming Chunshan's voice sounded a little hoarse, but Xia Pingwu didn't seem to notice it and shook her head: "No."

The quilt was a little slippery, Ming Chunshan held the body in his arms tighter, and had already thought of an excuse:
"You easily get a fever in the middle of the night. I'm worried about you."

This reason successfully fooled Xia Pingwu, and she really stopped her fingers and turned to look at her: "...Chunshan, I have something to ask you.
"Do we have any agreement?"

The sick Xia Pingwu looked even more fragile. Ming Chunshan didn't expect her to turn around so suddenly. He was distracted and asked subconsciously, "What agreement?"

Xia Pingwu sat up straight, sighed, and looked helpless:
"For example, a pre-marital agreement."

His arms suddenly felt cold. Ming Chunshan vaguely understood something, but he still couldn't believe it. He asked again, "Sister, I don't understand."

"Seven years ago, I was injured in an accident. You married me so that you could take care of me."
Xia Pingwu said in a very determined tone,
"But this one-sided help has lasted for seven years, and I think it's very unfair to you.
"So, we must have had some agreement that I'm not aware of."

To be honest, she was really shocked when she found out that she and Chunshan would get married ten years later.
She grew up waiting for the Second World War and never thought about getting married, let alone being with Ming Chunshan.

Even if she was seriously injured in the battle, even if she was determined by the Bureau of Supernatural Powers to be unable to enter the Bureau again——
Xia Pingwu had no doubt about this result.
Under the guidance of the master's wife, they have always been wary of the Bureau of Supernatural Powers. Ming Chunshan knew that she wanted to stay in the Bureau of Supernatural Powers, so he would definitely verify this judgment from multiple sources.

On this basis, she was unable to participate in the battle and had no authority to make suggestions.
In addition, her body was indeed getting weaker and weaker, so Chunshan didn't let her interfere in the affairs of the Superpower Bureau at all. She even communicated everything secretly with Ruan Zhuyun, which was of course reasonable.

The only question is, why do they choose to get married?
Even if...she really fell in love later, with her current physical condition, how could she allow herself to marry Ming Chunshan and become a burden to him?

At this time, Ming Chunshan already understood what Xia Pingwu meant. She looked at Xia Pingwu and tried to keep her voice steady:
"Sister, there is no agreement.
"We love each other, so we got married, it's normal."

Xia Pingwu nodded readily to show his understanding:
"I understand your idea."
Then she pointed at herself and patiently repeated her thoughts:
"But I also know myself. I won't allow myself to drag you down like this."

The medicine bottle was uncomfortable for Ming Chunshan, so she subconsciously changed her posture and sat face to face with Xia Pingwu:
"Sister, this is not a burden.
"I like you, so I take care of you, which is normal."

"But if I like you, I'll also want to give you something."
Xia Pingwu crossed her legs and subconsciously moved her long hair away, which was slightly blocking her vision.
"I can't join you in battle, and you won't let me help you with your strategy, so what can I give you?"

For some reason, these words made Ming Chunshan choke. She looked at Xia Pingwu solemnly, until Xia Pingwu began to doubt whether she had said something wrong, she spoke again:
"Sister, I don't need you to give me anything.
"I just hope you can rely on me, and I'll be happy."

The topic was going in a completely different direction than Xia Pingwu had expected. She cried out "Ah!" and reached out to hold Ming Chunshan's hand.
“Haruyama, this is different.
“Your thoughts are your thoughts, but mine are important, too.
"I only know that if I am willing to marry you, I must also want to give something for you."
It's not about making secret plans, it's about making sacrifices to maintain the current relationship.

"Well, if you must know what you're giving me, I'll tell you.
"You will give me love."
Ming Chunshan held Xia Pingwu's hand with a serious and earnest expression.
"Sister, the reason you ask me this now is because you don't love me as much as you will in ten years."

?

This answer stunned Xia Pingwu. She thought about it quickly and couldn't help but deny it:
"No, I am now considering it from your perspective and I am also worried about affecting your development. I still care about you."

Ming Chunshan nodded:
"Yes, you care about me, but this is still far from love."
Ming Chunshan looked serious, and then quietly pulled Xia Pingwu towards him, holding her shoulders again.
“For example, you see, my love is to be close to you.
"Ten years from now, even if it wasn't for the punishment, I would still want to sleep with you."

Xia Pingwu's body was tilted and she fell into Ming Chunshan's arms, but her brain was working quickly. Not only did she not notice it, she even found a more comfortable position on her own.

However, almost instantly, she immediately grabbed Ming Chunshan's arm and said righteously:
“No, but since I came here, you have been in control very well and you can’t control your desire to get close to me at all.
"According to your logic, either you don't like me enough, or your logic itself is wrong."

"nonsense."
The person in his arms wanted to break free so badly that Ming Chunshan had to reach out and pinch her chin, forcing Xia Pingwu to look him in the eye.
"I knew you didn't love me enough, so I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't take the initiative."

The logic seems to be closed.

But Xia Pingwu always felt that this was not right.
She is not such a person.
She would not accept potatoes she disliked for any reason, or even accept all the gossip.
Absolutely not.

"Sister."
Xia Pingwu's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by this call.
She felt the hand that was pinching her chin slowly slide to the sides and turn to support both sides of her cheeks.
The person in front of her looked at her eyes carefully, and the voice seemed to be bewitching.
"Like right now, I actually want to kiss you."

The two of them were very close, and Xia Pingwu could see that Ming Chunshan's eyes were like a pool of spring water, staring at her very seriously, and the fingers holding her chin seemed to be lighting fire.

At that moment, Xia Pingwu had no doubt about the truthfulness of Ming Chunshan's words.
