Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

When Jiang Yu finished getting ready and came downstairs, Lin Yi was already sitting at the dining table, absentmindedly drinking his soup. Jiang Yu went over and sat down next to him, and then a servant brought her portion over as well.

"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry. I was too willful this morning." Lin Yi put down his spoon, turned around and looked at Jiang Yu apologetically, seemingly having come to his senses.

"It's not your fault, I don't blame you. It's just that you really scared me this morning. You even used honorifics, which makes it seem like you don't trust me at all." Jiang Yu tried to lighten the mood, pretending to be a little annoyed.

"It won't happen again. I'm just impulsive by nature, and I'll try my best to change it." For some reason, Lin Yi's face looked a little red.

"You don't need to change anything, you're already excellent. If you still want to change this and that, how am I supposed to live?"

Jiang Yu sipped the soup, feeling warm all over, when she heard Lin Yi suddenly cough. She looked at Lin Yi, but Lin Yi covered his mouth and turned his head away to cover up his cough.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered seeing Lin Yi's flushed face earlier. She had initially thought it was just Lin Yi being shy while apologizing, but now she realized it was an abnormal flush.

She reached out and turned Lin Yi around, and saw that the boy's originally fair face was now covered in red. She quickly reached out and touched Lin Yi's forehead, and found that his temperature was alarmingly high.

"Yi, you have a fever! Quickly, someone help the master to his room, and send someone to fetch a doctor." Jiang Yu hurriedly made the arrangements, and was about to stand up when her sleeve was pulled.

"Xiaoyu, I'm fine. I'll feel better after drinking the soup. Don't worry." The boy, his face flushed, opened his sea-blue eyes, which reflected only her image.

"You should go upstairs and lie down now. The doctor will come and examine you and prescribe medicine later. That way you'll recover faster," Jiang Yu sighed, kindly advising him, acting like a little child.

"Will you stay with me? I don't want to be alone," Lin Yi said urgently, but then she pursed her lips, her bright sapphire-blue eyes suddenly dimming, and the hand that had been holding her sleeve silently withdrew.

"If you're busy, then forget it. I was just kidding."

Jiang Yu couldn't stand seeing Lin Yi looking so aggrieved, especially since he was sick now.

So she took Lin Yi's hand and comforted him, "I don't have anything to do. I'll stay with you. Shall we go upstairs and wait for the doctor now?"

Jiang Yu felt that talking to Lin Yi now was like coaxing a child. She couldn't understand how such a childish person could become an excellent imperial officer and manage family affairs so well.

After she finished speaking, she noticed that the person who had just been looking dejected and aggrieved had become cheerful and bright again, if you ignored the abnormal blush on his face.

Jiang Yu doesn't come to Lin Yi's room very often; you could count the number of times on one hand. The room, like its owner, looks sunny and bright, with both the freshness of the ocean and the brightness of a man.

Although Lin Yi had a high fever, his physical condition as a soldier was still very strong. He didn't need anyone's help at all. He changed into his nightgown by himself and even instructed the servants to bring Jiang Yu some drinks and snacks. Only then did he sit up on the bed under Jiang Yu's urging gaze.

There were healers on site in the manor, so he arrived quickly. This healer happened to be one of Ado's husbands.

He respectfully conducted several examinations, informing Jiang Yulin that the high fever was caused by catching a cold, and asked for some details, suggesting that he should not swim in the sea for too long in the morning.

The waters of Hollandeshire are much colder than those in other areas, which is why they produce exquisite pearls and unique transparent corals.

The seawater temperature is even lower in the early morning, so even people with very strong physical fitness are not advised to stay in the seawater for a long time.

The patient doctor also prescribed some medicinal herbs, instructing that the herbs could be ground and boiled into porridge or simply mixed with water and drunk.

After the doctor left, Jiang Yu looked at Lin Yi reproachfully and asked, "Yi, how long exactly were you in the seawater?"

"Xiaoyu, don't be angry. I was just blinded by jealousy these past few days, so I went to the sea to cool down and calm down. Who knew that as soon as I saw you taking a walk, all my impulses came back. When I came out of the sea, I didn't care about anything else. I just wanted to kiss you and ask you if you really have me in your heart."

Lin Yi grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and made her sit on the edge of his bed. He looked up at her as if he were just stating the facts, completely unaware that his words would make her feel embarrassed.

"You...so you've been spending a lot of time in the sea these past few days?" Hearing the other person's nonchalant and blatant confession, Jiang Yu couldn't help but blush, yet she still remembered to reprimand Lin Yi:

"Do you really think you're made of iron? You don't care about your body at all."

Looking at his wife's slightly flushed cheeks, Lin Yi was secretly delighted. It seemed that Xiao Yu wasn't entirely without feelings for him; she could be shy around him too.

He did indeed soak in the seawater for a long time, but he did more than that. He knew his own physical condition; it wasn't easy for him to develop a high fever in a short period of time. Every time he came back soaking wet, he would take a bath with water filled with ice cubes, and even immerse his entire head in cold water.

"Forgive me, Xiaoyu, I was too rash." Lin Yi kissed Jiang Yu's fingertips, and when she subconsciously curled her fingers as if to pull her hand back, he added with a smile:

"Xiaoyu, I was just too anxious. You know, my transfer order has already been issued."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered that after the Couple's Gathering, the men in this world would accept the Empire's arrangements to continue working, especially the partners of soldiers, who would likely be stationed in distant places for a long time and would only be able to return home once in a very long period of time.

Therefore, it is highly likely that a partner with a military background is more likely to become the strongest one rather than the most popular one.
