Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The study was very quiet. Soon, Tao Jiuxi felt some pain in his legs.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Zhiyi, only to see that he was concentrating on flipping through a book with a focused gaze.

"Cousin, will that fourth-rank official take revenge on you?" Tao Jiuxi stretched his neck and asked softly.

"Didn't you say she didn't know who you were? Then how could she find me?" Shen Zhiyi turned a page of the book slowly, his tone relaxed and calm.

Tao Jiuxi nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself that as long as he didn't run around or go out in disguise, he shouldn't be recognized.

In this way, her cousin would not be retaliated against because of her. Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease.

Tao Jiuxi said a few more words, but Shen Zhiyi just read the book and ignored her.

Tao Jiuxi was kneeling upright at first, but as time went on, his posture gradually changed to sitting.

She observed Shen Zhiyi carefully, slowly adjusting her posture, trying to make herself more comfortable.

She tried little by little, and seeing that Shen Zhiyi had no reaction, she finally leaned her head on the rosewood carved chair where Shen Zhiyi was sitting.

Gradually, she felt her legs go numb and her eyelids became heavier.

Shen Zhiyi put down the book in his hand and turned his head, only to find that Tao Jiuxi, who was kneeling beside him, had fallen asleep leaning against the chair.

He stared quietly at Tao Jiuxi who was sleeping peacefully. Her thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, her small nose was delicate and cute, and there was a faint blush on her fair face.

I thought to myself: This noisy girl, I can probably only glance at her when she is asleep.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi suddenly recalled the moment when Tao Jiuxi had just "confessed" his feelings to him. Tao Jiuxi had been serious, his eyes gleaming with a different light, and his words were as sweet as honey...

Shen Zhiyi suddenly came back to his senses and was shocked to find that he had been staring at Tao Jiuxi's appearance.

He quickly shook his head and said, "Don't think about it!"

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and called out softly, "Tao Jiuxi."

However, time passed quietly without any response.

He raised his voice and called out several times, but the surroundings were still silent.

Shen Zhiyi wondered how this girl could sleep so peacefully in front of a man.

He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and gently shook Tao Jiuxi's body.

a long time.

Tao Jiuxi slowly opened his eyes, his voice filled with confusion, like a pearl covered in dust: "Can we go back now?"

Tao Jiuxi tried to support himself with his hands, but as soon as he moved, he felt no strength in his hands, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyi thought she had been kneeling for too long, so he reached out and pulled Tao Jiuxi up from the ground.

For Shen Zhiyi, Tao Jiuxi's small body made pulling her up as easy as pulling a carrot.

However, as soon as he let go, Tao Jiuxi's body, which had just stood up, fell forward again.

Shen Zhiyi was quick to support her. Tao Jiuxi's legs seemed to have lost all their strength, and they were too soft to move.

Shen Zhiyi had no time to think at this moment. He simply reached across and hugged Tao Jiuxi in his arms.

Tao Jiuxi's body was light and soft. The moment she fell into his arms, Shen Zhiyi's arms tightened slightly. Her hair gently brushed against his cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.

Tao Jiuxi was dizzy from this sudden action, and her panic made her subconsciously hug Shen Zhiyi's neck.

Her cheeks were flushed with fever, which made her look particularly charming in this intimate contact.

Shen Zhiyi's heartbeat unconsciously quickened a few beats, and he tried to remain calm. He looked down at Tao Jiuxi in his arms. Her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face was pale, but it still couldn't hide her delicate features.

"Why do you have a fever?" Shen Zhiyi's voice was filled with worry.

"It's so cold..." Tao Jiuxi's voice was weak, like falling petals, full of endless fragility.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. His subordinates had clearly reported that Tao Jiuxi was hiding behind the cart. He didn't expect that she would develop a fever after only hiding for a few hours.

"cold."

Tao Jiuxi felt cold all over and instinctively moved towards a warm place.

At this moment, she only felt as if there was a heater beside her. She rubbed her head back and forth on Shen Zhiyi's neck, trying to absorb a little warmth.

Shen Zhiyi had never had such intimate contact with a woman.

Where Tao Jiuxi gently rubbed, it seemed as if thousands of tiny electric currents were quietly running, and the currents slowly spread along his skin, bringing a strange and unfamiliar feeling.

Her warm breath was like a soft feather, gently spraying on his skin. Each breath was like a light touch on the lake of his heart, rippling circles of numbness and making him feel a little uncomfortable.

A trace of panic surged in his heart. What happened to him?

He tried hard to control his emotions and tried to regain his usual composure.

He quickly calmed down and adjusted his state, then shouted loudly to the outside: "Someone come."

Jiang Qu and Jiang Shun heard the call and hurried over.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw this slightly ambiguous scene in front of me.

"Jiang Shun, send someone to call a doctor." There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in Shen Zhiyi's tone.

He secretly blamed himself in his heart, why was he so worried about this woman?

She was just someone who accidentally broke into his life.

But looking at her weak appearance, I felt very sorry for her.

"Yes." Jiang Shun didn't dare to stay any longer. After receiving the order, he ran out in a hurry.

Jiang Qu looked at Tao Jiuxi in his master's arms, and hesitantly stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you need me to hold my cousin?"

He knew that his master never liked such close contact with women.

"No, bring me my cloak."

Jiang Qu was filled with surprise when he heard this.

He clearly remembered that once when he was attending a banquet with his master, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister deliberately placed her cloak on top of his master's cloak. After the banquet, his master ordered him to take the cloak back, and after returning home, he directly burned it.

Today, you are willing to give your cloak to this "fake cousin"?

Jiang Shun quickly took out the ink-colored cloak hanging on the three-panel screen with pine, cypress, plum and orchid patterns and gently put it on Tao Jiuxi.

The wide cloak covered Tao Jiuxi tightly, and also covered Shen Zhiyi's broad shoulders, leaving only a small corner for Tao Jiuxi to breathe.

Wrapped in the warm cloak, Tao Jiuxi gradually calmed down and stopped murmuring "cold".

Shen Zhiyi held Tao Jiuxi and prepared to send her back to her yard.

As soon as I stepped out of the study, the cold air outside hit me from all directions like a surging tide.

Tao Jiuxi, who had been quiet, unconsciously shrank into Shen Zhiyi's arms due to the stimulation of the cold.

As Shen Zhiyi walked, her lips always gently caressed Shen Zhiyi's slender neck.

Shen Zhiyi only felt that his body was a little hot, and a sense of inexplicable irritation surged in his heart. He warned himself in his heart that he should not be affected by this woman, but his body couldn't help but hold her more carefully.

Finally, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but warn: "If you don't behave yourself, I'll leave you here."

Tao Jiuxi's body was still burning hot, and her consciousness became blurred under the invasion of high fever. She had no idea what she was doing. She only vaguely heard that her fierce cousin seemed to be angry with her again, so she uttered a word in a daze: "Annoying..."
