Ruka brought the glass of water to him. “Drink some water and take your medicine.”
Ren took the glass from her and turned around to sit down on the couch. As he cooperatively finished
his medicine, she sat next to him and watched him, a flash of pain appearing in her eyes.
“You should go back to sleep.” He turned to look at her. She shook her head. “No, I have to take care of
you.”
“I’ll be fine after I finish the medicine.” He noticed that she was still sleepy, and he didn’t want to take up
her sleep time.
“That won’t work either. The doctor asked me to look after you.” Saying that, Ruka shifted her body to
sit next to him, and she placed her pale and small hands on his smooth and full forehead, where there
was still a hot layer of sweat. She touched her own forehead in comparison, and sure enough, he was
burning.

The corner of Ren’s mouth curled upward as he nodded. His high fever made his handsome face flush,
and his eyes were bleary under the dim light. With his smile, his dimples appeared, giving him a
masculine charm.
As if it had knocked into something, Ruka’s heart immediately began racing. She pursed her red lips
and stood up. “I’m going to get a towel.”
After she found a clean towel, she dampened it and returned to the couch, where she poured some
alcohol onto it. However, she didn’t know which part of his body she had to wipe.
At the same time, Ren slowly loosened his night robe and stretched out his hand to pull the front of his
robe open, revealing his solid and seductive chest as he said to her hoarsely, “Wipe here.”
Ruka’s brain buzzed and she blushed. She reached out and wiped the towel on his chest, but she
hardly dared to look at him. As she wiped, an arm suddenly wrapped forcefully around her waist,
causing her to fall into his arms, and her face crashed into one side of his chest.
“D-Don’t disturb my work,” Ruka warned with a stern expression. She propped herself up on his chest
and continued to wipe it, while at the same time moving the towel up his sharp collarbone to rub at his
neck.
Ren was already this sick. Why was he still messing around?
However, he still insisted on teasing her. He leaned his head against the back of the couch lazily,
causing his handsome face to be fully exposed to the light as he studied her face in close proximity
with an intense gaze.
Ruka was focused on her task, so she ignored his presumptuous eyes. She just wanted to quickly
lower his body temperature. However, she wasn’t aware that her current distance and her hands that
were wiping were not helping to lower his heat anymore, but making it worse instead.

stuck to his cheek, as if he were a dangerous feline that was ready to hunt.
As soon as she finished wiping and was about to get out and pour a little more alcohol onto the towel,
both of her wrists were caught in his grip, and she was flipped over soon after. With his scorching body,
he pressed her onto the couch and locked her lean arms above her head. Soon, a sense of danger
struck her as his handsome face approached her.
“Re- Before she could finish calling his name, he immediately kissed her, and his hot lips seemed to be
more enthusiastic than usual.
Ruka instinctively closed her eyes and tried her best to adjust her breathing in an attempt to receive his
kiss. She had no idea how to kiss, so she lost her breath during the first two times. However, she
seemed to be more proficient this time.. for some unknown reason.
