Chapter 5 Lies
Ou Ruoling shook her head, seeing Ou Zixi's appearance of not believing in herself at all, she couldn't help becoming impatient: "Brother, you believe me, this is not a dream, it's all real!"

Ou Zixi: "Who is that man?"

Ou Ruoling was taken aback: "I don't know him."

"Then what does he look like?"

"I don't know, he's wearing a mask." After finishing speaking, Ou Ruoling lowered her head a little discouraged, as if very frustrated.

Ou Zixi sighed and said, "Ruoling, none of this is real, you are just having a nightmare."

"So, promise me, forget about these things?"

Ou Ruoling raised her head in a daze, Ou Zixi's voice was very gentle, with a certain demagogic power, she even wanted to believe that everything last night was really just a nightmare.

However, every word, every look, and every movement that the masked man said last night seemed to be vivid in his memory, even deep into his bone marrow.

How could all this be just a dream?
Ou Zixi's voice was softer, he gently pulled her into his arms, and patted her on the shoulder: "You probably caught a cold last night, so you developed a high fever overnight, and your body is still weak now, don't think about it anymore."

Ou Ruoling was a little depressed, she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Come on, have something to eat first."

Saying that, Ou Zixi picked up a bowl of porridge from the bedside, tested the temperature, and said, "After cooling for a while, the temperature is just right, eat it while it's hot."

Ou Ruoling opened her mouth numbly, and under Ou Zixi's coaxing, she ate the porridge in the bowl bit by bit.

At this moment, the empty stomach finally began to warm up. Ou Ruoling felt that she seemed to have recovered a lot, and the scenes of last night began to replay in her mind.

As if seeing Ou Ruoling's absent-mindedness, Ou Zixi cleaned up the dishes for her, said a few words of comfort, and was about to leave.

"Brother..." Ou Ruoling called him hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Ou Zixi turned to look at her.

Ou Ruoling shook her head subconsciously again: "It's okay, I feel a little uncomfortable."

She looked down at her clothes, as if it was not the same as last night, she couldn't help asking: "Who changed my clothes?"

Ou Zixi smiled, half of her body was hidden in the shadows and she couldn't see her expression clearly, "Yesterday you had a high fever and your clothes were soaked in cold sweat, so I asked Mama Chen to change your clothes for you."

Ou Ruoling nodded hesitantly.

"You rest for a while, and I'll come and pull out the needle for you after you finish hanging the water." After explaining, Ou Zixi walked out with the bowl in hand.

After he left, Ou Ruoling took his hands out of the quilt, and there were still red marks on his slender and fair wrists.

Looking at the traces of different shades, she couldn't recover for a long time.

She didn't fully believe Ou Zixi's words.

Because she experienced what happened last night personally, the feeling was too profound, and it was not like what a dream could bring.

But why did Ou Zixi lie to her?
The early morning sunlight casts a corner of the room through the gaps in the curtains, causing mottled light and shadows.

Ou Ruoling suddenly remembered that today was supposed to be her wedding!
This thought broke into her mind, and she became sad again. If Qi Xun found out that she didn't go to the wedding, would he be disappointed?

Thinking of this, a stabbing pain came from the back of his hand, Ou Ruoling looked up and saw that the bottle containing the medicine was empty.

"Brother!" She called Ou Zixi loudly.
