The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 39 - FEVER

Next morning. Just as Shu Ye had just woken up from her sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of a wooden bucket accidentally falling from someone's grasp!

He quickly ran out of his room to see what was going on. Sure enough, he was currently seeing a young man with white and black fu, tidying up the mess caused by the water in the bucket falling suddenly.

”Not usually you drop something from your grasp.” Shu Ye said after learning that this young man was Shin Yixuan who had woken up earlier than him.

While looking down, Shin Yixuan hugged her wooden bucket and asked, ”Did I wake you up?”

Shu Ye folded her hands and began to feel strange with the question posed by Shin Yixuan. He did not even take the time to turn around and look at himself while he was asking. ”... No. gabe. Actually, I was awake when you dropped it.” he replied.

Shortly after, Shin Yixuan stood back up even though her movements slightly staggered like a drunk. In addition, his hair also looks messy like it is not combed properly and his clothing belt also looks slanted.

And seeing the abnormality she was experiencing, Shu Ye took the time to ask, ”You're okay? Have you forgotten how to put on your own clothes and comb your own hair?”

Although his gaze was still behind him so Shu Ye only looked at his back, Shin Yixuan shook her head while carrying the wooden bucket that had already been dropped by him. ”... I'm just in a hurry. Later I will neaten again.” he replied as he walked to the backyard to fetch water.

Shu Ye scratched his head that was not itchy as he felt astonished by the attitude shown by Shin Yixuan. Unlike usual he looks messy like that because every day, he always looks neat without any gaps to criticize him.

”Huh? Is it possible that his other soul is getting inside his head?!” inner Shu Ye who was beginning to guess something.

When it was a little afternoon, a sitting table was installed in the middle room. Everyone gathered to watch what food had just been served on the table. It looks dubious and smells suspicious. Everyone gave a flat expression as if they did not know what they could say at the moment.

Ever since Shin Buyen and Luu Houyi left, Shin Yixuan had been in charge of cooking and tidying up her house. Back then, none of the mistakes he made even while cooking for the people there. However, this one is a little different than usual.

All the food that was there had a very pungent foul aroma. Of course this makes them think that this food has been mixed with a pile of garbage that is mountainous underground. They may be dying if they still eat foods that have unusual aromas and forms.

”Taste what you made here? You didn't try to poison us, did you?” shu Ye asked who looked astonished and tried to look at Shin Yixuan who was sitting in front of him.

But, when he saw it he was fixated on his two hands that had no small wound when before he looked ordinary. Wounds from the sliced blade as well as palms that blistered after coming into contact with the hot cauldron. This was an unusual sight in his home.

”Why wear ask? To me this looks like food.” said Shin Lujian as he ate one by one the food on the table. In fact, the food does not seem so good and can make you choke.

”Does his tongue and nose not work?!” inner Shu Ye who immediately looked at him in wonder. He seemed able to finish all the food on the table without thinking about anything else. While Bai Yunqing pretended not to see him.

Shin Furong pulled the sleeves of Shu Ye's clothes sitting next to him. ”Take sister rest. He is sick.” he said slowly.

Could it be because of yesterday?

Shu Ye immediately got up from her seat and walked over to Shin Yixuan then patted her on the shoulder, ”You don't look all right. I will take you to the.” room he said as he extended his hand.

Shin Yixuan gasped in shock as Shu Ye patted her on the shoulder and she stared at him suddenly. At first he was silent with his face looking surprised. However, shortly after he tried his calm expression when he replied, ”I just lack sleep. I'm completely fine.”

”Do I need to drag him and throw him into the room?” inner Shu Ye who then crouched before him. ”... Show me your forehead!”

Shin Yixuan fell silent and looked at him in a daze. Then, suddenly a palm clapped hard on his forehead almost making him fall backwards. ”... Something like this you say is fine? Go to your room now and rest! This house will be even more chaotic if you try to clean it.” Shu Ye said in a nonchalant tone.

Shin Yixuan laughed softly and said, ”I just have a slight fever. Not too bad. Besides, I have peeled the orange peel for you.” he said while giving it an orange that has deflated like squeezed many times.

”Maybe a fever can make someone act the opposite. This one he calls an orange?! When peeling it, he accidentally squeezed it until the water runs out?” inner Shu Ye who instantly refused.

”Yixuan, in these few days, you should rest. Think of others who are also thinking of you.” Bai Yunqing said as she sipped her drink.

”No! I'm doing fine. In a moment, I will also be healed.” Shin Yixuan immediately rejected him reluctantly.

”You always refuse and say the same things!” shu Ye's chirp directly pulled Shin Yixuan's back collar and dragged her into the room.

Upon reaching the room, Shu Ye immediately threw Shin Yixuan over her bed, covered her with a blanket and placed a wet cloth over her forehead. ”... Rest until tomorrow and don't go anywhere!” said Shu Ye.

Shin Yixuan was speechless with her face looking puzzled. ”... This better not be done. A little move makes my situation worse.” said Shin Yixuan.

”Already! Just sleep!” Shu Ye immediately replied while folding her hands so that, making Shin Yixuan go silent for an instant. ”... Is there something you want now?”

Shin Yixuan turned her attention and tried to think about it for a while. ”... Something made me remember someone. When I was five years old and my mother was going into town to pick something up, I accidentally got lost in the woods while hunting rabbits. I huddled under a tree and waited for someone. Then, a kind old woman came up to me and gave me a glutinous cake wrapped in bamboo leaves.”

”You want the glutinous cake that the old lady gave you?” ask Shu Ye.

Shin Yixuan covered half of her face with a blanket. He then nodded slowly at her.

Shu Ye sighed and moved from her seat. ”... I'll make it for you. You rest here until I finish making it.” he said as he walked out of the room and left Shin Yixuan who seemed confused by his attitude.
