Chapter 2948 : Fever
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice outside the door. It sounded like Cheng Ningyuan. Ji Ziming straightened his body and looked suspiciously at the door.
After hesitating for a while, she still slipped out of the pool and went to open the door for him.
“It’s really you?” With his hands on his waist, the man was not surprised.””You’re here to find Pei Pei?”
“I didn’t want to come, but Shen Feng came back. I must bring her back tonight. Where is she?” Cheng Ningyuan went straight to the point. No expression could be seen on his face, but his tone was full of an undoubted look.
Startled, Ji Ziming raised his voice and asked,””He’s back? Then why didn’t he come to me personally? I’m going to confront him about Pei PEI’s condition and the medicine she’s taking. ”
“I didn’t tell him because he still trusts Pei Pei. I don’t know what his motive is for letting Pei Pei return to your side, but you know that it’s definitely not a good one. No matter which of you is true to Pei Pei in the end, I only hope that she can be happy and not be hurt in any way. I also don’t want her to become a sacrifice in the war between you two men. ” Cheng Ningyuan said affectionately.
Ji Ziming was a little jealous of his tone and expression when he spoke of PEI GE.””You brat, you also …”
“Don’t make wild guesses. She’s only my sister. ” Cheng Ningyuan quickly interrupted his question when he saw the jealousy in his eyes.
“Sister?” Ji Ziming coldly snorted and looked at Cheng Ningyuan’s domineering appearance in a daze. His lips twitched as he said,””It better be like this. Otherwise, I don’t mind crushing one more person after crushing that Shen Feng!”
Cheng Ningyuan didn’t care at all. He rolled his eyes and said,””All the men in the world may become your love rivals, except me. I really hope that Pei Pei, who is such a good and kind person, can be happy. ”
“Is that so?” Ji Ziming was still looking at the boy in front of him suspiciously. It did not matter who it was, as long as it was not him, he felt that all men would have improper thoughts about PEI GE. Even this brat before him, who was still wet behind his ears, felt the same way. He was full of the desire of a Wolf Cub.
“By the way, why are you all wet? Where’s PEI Pei? Quickly let her out! I have to hurry up. Since I can locate your phone’s location, Shen Feng’s men can do it too. ” Cheng Ningyuan, on the other hand, did not want to discuss this topic with Ji Ziming anymore. No matter what he said, he felt that the man would not believe that he had no feelings for PEI GE, so he impatiently changed the topic.
Ji Ziming was taken aback as he recalled the embarrassing thing he had just done to her. Furthermore, she was currently lying naked in her room in a bathrobe. If Cheng Ningyuan knew about this, wouldn’t he be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River?
“Why don’t you quickly tell me? What is Pei Pei doing inside?” Cheng Ningyuan’s tone had obviously reached his bottom line.
“If I told you the truth, would you believe me?” Ji Ziming’s eyes avoided his as he rubbed his high nose and asked.
A bad premonition flashed across Cheng Ningyuan’s heart. He carefully looked at Ji Ziming’s wet body and asked in such a cold weather,””Ji Ziming, don’t tell me you threw Pei Pei into the water on such a cold night?”
Ji Ziming could imagine Cheng Ningyuan’s fierce and menacing face as he stared at him.
His tone was clearly more guilty than before,”I didn’t do it on purpose. Just now, I wanted Pei Pei to …”
“Bastard!” Cheng ning did not wait for Ji Ziming to finish his sentence and immediately threw a left hook at him. The force was so great that Ji Ziming staggered and took a few steps back. He could clearly feel a warm current flowing out of his nose and mouth, so he quickly covered his burning face.
Cheng ning could not be bothered with the groaning man and strode past him into the house. In the room on the second floor, Cheng ning saw PEI GE lying on the bed, her face as white as a sheet but with red cheeks.
At that moment, Cheng Ningyuan’s heart felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone, making him a little breathless.
“Pei Pei, wake up! What do you think?” Seeing her frown and the beads of sweat on her forehead, Cheng Ningyuan subconsciously thought that she had a fever.
Cheng Ningyuan quickly reached out and sure enough, the temperature of her cheeks and forehead was so hot that it could almost cook an egg.
At this moment, Ji Ziming also ran up to her and hurriedly explained,””I really didn’t do it on purpose. Pei Pei didn’t want to …”
Halfway through, he realized that the way Cheng Ningyuan was looking at PEI GE was not right, so he hurriedly reached out his hand to feel it. Then, as if he had been electrocuted, he looked at the man with wide eyes and explained,””I didn’t have a fever when I went down just now!”
“You clearly know that she’s not in good health and that there’s poison in her body, yet you still let her come here to mess around with you!” Cheng Ningyuan’s anger rose. As long as he saw her injured, he would lose his mind like a lion.
“I’ll go get her some fever medicine immediately!” As if he suddenly thought of something, he quickly ran out of the room to get a basin of hot water and a box of medicine.
“With Pei PEI’s current state, it seems like he won’t be able to return to Shen Feng’s Villa tonight. If Pei PEI’s fever hasn’t gone down by tomorrow, send me a message. I’ll try to stabilize Shen Feng’s situation. ” Cheng Ningyuan helplessly said as he watched Ji Ziming hurriedly feed her medicine and put a hot towel on her forehead.
Ji Ziming gently tugged at the corner of the towel. After making sure it was properly placed, he looked up at Cheng Ningyuan.”Little brat, thanks! Don’t worry, Pei Pei will definitely get better tomorrow. I won’t allow anything to happen to her!”
Cheng Ningyuan’s sword-like brows furrowed tightly. He did not say anything more. His eyes narrowed and he went straight to the door.
“Ji Ziming … Ji Ziming!” The moment he left, she mumbled his name with a high fever. Her tone seemed to be filled with hatred.
His heart ached so much that he could only grab her warm hand and place it on his cheek.””Pei Pei, hurry up and wake up. When you wake up, you can hit me or scold me however you want!”
However, she did not respond and merely fell asleep again. He used his other hand to caress her burning cheeks, his heart feeling as if it was stuffed with a ball of cotton soaked in water.
Although there was a heater in the house, Ji Ziming’s wet clothes still made him feel cold.
