Xie Fang's body was cold; even though he had been wrapped in a thick blanket for so long, his body was still as cold as a corpse.
Xie Fang was fine in the morning, laughing and acting cute with her; Mrs. Xie thought her son was getting better. She was really happy and wanted to make Xie Fang's favorite dishes, but while she was in the store, she received a call saying he had fainted and had a sudden fever.
At that time she was shocked, and fear took over her. "What! Call the doctor fast; I'm coming right now." She said while running out of the store in a mess.
"Oh lord, please don't let anything happen to my child," Mrs. Xie had prayed to god over and over again all the way to the home. At that time, she had desperately hoped she had teleportation magic.
Mrs. Xie felt like God was playing with her. Giving her hope and then destroying it before she could be happy for a moment. "Ah Fang..." Mrs. Xie was sobbing so hard. Her eyes had turned blood-red.
"I'm sorry for not giving you a healthy body...*hic* Ah Fang... please wake up," Mrs. Xie murmured. Her lips were trembling, and her eyes were swollen.
Butler Shi and other servants also wore a sad and worried expression. After all, they had seen Xie Fang being born and growing up from a tiny and lovable boy into a handsome and elegant young man.
The room was filled with a depressing aura; everyone wore a sad expression except the red raccoon.
Xiao ba, who had turned into a Pomeranian and was sleeping beside Xie Fang, was disturbed by Mrs. Xie's nonstop wailing. He closed his ears with his tiny paws and buried his head on the pillow. But he could still hear her sobbing voice.
"He won't die. Why are you crying so much?" Xiao ba whispered in an annoyed voice. He wanted to sleep, but these humans were not letting him sleep. He mumbled, "If only I could go further from him but..."
Xiao ba thought while looking at unconscious Xie Fang 'What will I say to the universe if something happened to him while I'm away?' He sighed and shook his head. 'Forget it.'
At the same time, Li Chang, with his two assistants, came into Xie Fang's bedroom. He saw Xie Fang lying on the bed with Mrs. Xie crying beside him. He frowned and walked towards them.
Butler Shi, who was standing beside Mrs. Xie with the grim expression, was the first one to notice them.
"Doctor Li," he greeted him and the other two assistants. Li Chang nodded his head and looked at Mrs. Xie. Butler Shi explained Xie Fang's situation: "Young Master Xie was fine this morning, but he suddenly fainted in the evening."
Li Chang thought of the thin T-shirt and sweatpants Xie Fang was wearing in the afternoon. He still had those clothes on. Even though he was covered with a thick and warm blanket, he was still shivering like a dying chicken.
"Doctor Li, yesterday you had said my Ah Fang's health had improved, so why has he become like this today?" Mrs. Xie yelled.
Li Chang replied calmly, "I told what was true. As for why he has become like this... I have to check young master Xie before giving any answer."
Li Chang seemed to know the cause of Xie Fang's sudden fever. He calmly told everyone to go out, even his two assistants, to check on Mrs. Xie's health.
Now, there were only Li Chang and unconscious Xie Fang (and a Pomeranian). Li Chang walked toward Xie Fang and sat down on the bedside. He looked at Xie Fang's red face due to fever for a moment.
The Pomeranian (Xiao ba) looked at Li Chang with vigilance. He felt this handsome pig was trying to eat his cabbage. "Arf..." When Li Chang was about to touch Xie Fang's wrist to check his pulse, Xiao ba barked at him.
Only then did Li Chang notice this diety. Li Chang didn't know why, but he hated this dog at the first look. Maybe it's the dog's dumb looking face, or its dumb looking eyes, or this whole dog. He didn't like it at all.
Xiao ba was still growling when he felt himself being suspended in the air; before he could realize anything, he was thrown out...
Xiao ba was shocked. It took him a moment to process everything. After shock came anger, a big anger at being thrown like some dirty thing.
"HOW DARE YOU, A MERE HUMAN, INSULT US!" Xiao ba roared out loud, but the person inside could only hear him barking.
The servants who were waiting by the side saw this:
One of the servants sighed with pity, "Mao Mao seems to be very worried about Young Master Xie."
Another added, "Others say dogs are more loyal than people; it seems true."
Xiao ba, who heard their words, was filled with rage; he turned to the servants and barked, "Who cares about that weak chicken!" Bark "I want that guy named Li Chang." Bark "Bring him to me now, or I will kill you all when I unlock my powers." Bark
But the servants couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ba's barking; one of the servants picked up the mad dog cautiously and took him away. "How dare you touch meee!" Bark
Inside the room, Li Chang had checked Xie Fang's condition. It was not dangerous to normal people, but for people like Xie Fang, it was a different matter. Even the mild fever could take his life if not treated properly in time.
Li Chang took the medicine and looked at Xie Fang. He tried to feed him slowly, but Xie Fang didn't open his mouth after drinking it once. Xie Fang's brows were furrowed because of the bitterness.
Xie Fang subconsciously moved his face whenever Li Chang tried to feed him. "Haa... really stubborn even while unconscious." He whispered under his breath.
Li Chang looked at Xie Fang and then at the medicine in his hand. After a while, as if possessed by a demon, Li Chang went close to Xie Fang's face. Their faces were so close that if one of them moved even a little bit, their lips would touch each other.
"Fang Fang, open your mouth." Li Chang touched Xie Fang's face and whispered in his ear like a lover. Li Chang waited for a while, but Xie Fang didn't react at all.
Li Chang had a look of 'I knew it' and whispered again, "You leave me with no other choice." He had a helpless expression on his face as if he didn't want to do what was going to happen next, like it was Xie Fang who forced him.
Li Chang drank all the medicine that was in his hand and fed it all to Xie Fang through his lips. "Umm..." Xie Fang frowned; in his dream he was eating a strawberry cake with a delightful expression.
The cake was very tasty, something he had never gotten to eat in a previous life. The cake tasted sweet and creamy, but it suddenly turned bitter and then he felt like his oxygen was being sucked by something unknown.
Xie Fang's eyes widened open due to the suffocation, and he saw Li Chang kissing... him?!

I forgot to mention this, but no one other than Xie Fang can see or understand Xiao Ba's barking.
