Due to the limitations of the small world, Chu Lingxiao's physique is considered to be that of an ordinary person here.

In his original world, ever since he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, he had been completely insulated from diseases and had never been sick. Therefore, when he had a fever this time, he was completely unaware of it.

On ordinary days, Gu Qingze usually wakes up earlier than Chu Lingxiao. He will carefully prepare breakfast and then gently wake Chu Lingxiao up.

However, this time when Gu Qingze finished making breakfast and returned to the bedroom, he gently patted Chu Lingxiao's quilt to signal him to get up, but Chu Lingxiao only responded in a daze, with no sign of getting up.

This is really weird... Ling Xiao rarely stays in bed.

Gu Qingze immediately noticed something was wrong. He was about to shake Chu Lingxiao's arm again. The moment his hand touched Chu Lingxiao's skin, he felt an unusual heat.

Gu Qingze's heart tightened and he quickly reached out to touch Chu Lingxiao's forehead. The burning heat there made his heart instantly tighten.

He hurriedly found the thermometer and carefully placed it under Chu Lingxiao's armpit.

When the thermometer was taken out, the number displayed on it made Gu Qingze sigh.

Sure enough... Ling Xiao has a fever, and it's a high fever.

Gu Qingze quickly fetched a basin of cold water, soaked a towel in it and gently placed it on Chu Lingxiao's forehead, then poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside.

He called Chu Lingxiao's name softly, trying to wake him up. Chu Lingxiao opened his eyes slightly, his eyes full of fatigue and confusion.

"Qingze, what's wrong with me? I feel like I have no strength in my body." Chu Lingxiao asked weakly.

Gu Qingze looked at him distressedly and said gently: "Ling Xiao, you have a fever, don't move, just lie down."

Chu Lingxiao then realized that he had a fever. He smiled weakly and said with emotion: "I suddenly miss the time when I was a cultivator. At least I wouldn't get sick then..."

Gu Qingze held his hand tightly and said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm here, you will get better soon."

As he spoke, he dug out the antipyretic medicine, carefully helped Chu Lingxiao up, and asked him to take the medicine. At this time, Chu Lingxiao's consciousness was blurred, and he could only let Gu Qingze manipulate him.

Gu Qingze stayed by the bed, changing the towel from time to time and paying close attention to Chu Lingxiao's temperature changes.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze who was guarding the bedside, and suddenly felt that having a fever and being sick was not that bad. Instead, it was a novel experience.

Although Gu Qingze usually took good care of him, it was rare for him to keep an eye on him all the time like he did now.

He grabbed Gu Qingze's hand and was about to say something, but Gu Qingze seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Ling Xiao, are you hungry? I was a little anxious just now and forgot that you didn't eat. I just made millet porridge for breakfast. I'll heat it up first. You need to eat when you are sick."

Chu Lingxiao swallowed what he wanted to say and nodded. Gu Qingze smiled and rubbed his head: "So good."

After praising her, Gu Qingze left the bedroom.

In fact, after Chu Lingxiao took the medicine, it had gradually taken effect, and he only had a fever. He was not that fragile yet, but it did feel good to be taken care of by Qingze, so he didn't say much.

After a while, Gu Qingze came to the bedroom with a bowl of hot millet porridge.

He placed the millet porridge on the bedside table, gently helped Chu Lingxiao up, and let him lean on him.

He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and then brought it to Chu Lingxiao's mouth.

Chu Lingxiao muttered to himself that he was not a child and it was too embarrassing to use the "feeding" method.

Besides, he wouldn't be so weak that he couldn't even pick up a spoon, right?

Although he really wanted to say this to Gu Qingze, seeing Gu Qingze's serious and concerned look, and the fact that this was the porridge Qingze fed him with such meticulous attention to detail, there was no reason for him not to drink it.

So, Chu Lingxiao opened his mouth slightly and drank the porridge. The warm porridge flowed down his throat, making his stomach feel much more comfortable.

"Drink slowly, don't burn yourself." Gu Qingze said gently.

Chu Lingxiao thought, are they really treating him like a child?

But seeing Gu Qingze's serious look, he didn't say much and just continued to enjoy the feeding.

The bowl of porridge was quickly finished, and Gu Qingze gently wiped the residue from the corner of Chu Lingxiao's mouth with a tissue.

"Feeling better?" he asked with concern.

Chu Lingxiao nodded and said, "Much better, thank you, Qingze."

Gu Qingze smiled and said, "Why are you suddenly so polite to me?"

As he said that, he gently put Chu Lingxiao down again and covered him with the quilt.

"Just get some more sleep and everything will be fine once the fever is completely gone." Gu Qingze said softly.

Chu Lingxiao closed his eyes obediently, and Gu Qingze smiled with satisfaction: "How can Lingxiao be so well behaved? You must reward him with a kiss."

He gently lifted the hair that was blocking Chu Lingxiao's forehead, then gave him a gentle kiss before leaving the bedroom.

...............

It was almost lunch time, and Gu Qingze was standing in the kitchen. His original lunch plan was to make a delicious stewed beef brisket with potatoes.

The piece of beef had been thawed and ready, emitting an attractive color, as if it was looking forward to being cooked into a delicacy.

However, Gu Qingze's thoughts suddenly drifted to Chu Lingxiao who was bedridden... Sick people need light and nutritious food, and stewed beef brisket with potatoes was obviously not suitable for Lingxiao at this time.

So, Gu Qingze silently put the beef back into the refrigerator and began to think seriously about preparing a light and nutritious lunch for Chu Lingxiao.

After a moment, his eyes fell on the cupboard. He opened it decisively and took out a few round and smooth eggs.

Then he took out some shrimps from the refrigerator. The shrimps were crystal clear and exuded a faint sea aroma.

He decided to make a dish of steamed eggs with shrimp, which was both nutritious and easy to digest.

Gu Qingze skillfully cracked the eggs into a bowl and stirred them gently. The egg liquid swirled in the bowl like a small vortex.

Then, he added an appropriate amount of water and continued stirring until the egg liquid was as smooth as silk.

Then he washed the shrimps, and each shrimp became exceptionally clean in his hands.

He placed it carefully on the egg liquid, as if he was creating a beautiful painting.

Gu Qingze put the carefully prepared bowl of shrimp steamed egg into the steamer and carefully adjusted the time to ensure that the steamed egg tasted just right.

Then he began to prepare some side dishes.

He washed a handful of green vegetables and cut them into thin strips. The thin strips looked like green silk threads.

When the steamed eggs are almost ready, he blanchs the shredded green vegetables in boiling water. The shredded green vegetables quickly roll in the boiling water and are soon taken out and drained.

After a while, bursts of delicious fragrance wafted out of the steamer, and Gu Qingze knew that the steamed eggs with shrimps were ready.

He carefully took out the steamed egg, which exuded an enticing aroma and had a surface as smooth as a mirror.

He put the blanched shredded vegetables on the table, and a light and nutritious lunch was ready.

But Gu Qingze felt that something was missing. After thinking for a moment, he decided to make another spinach and tofu soup.

Gu Qingze turned around and started preparing spinach and tofu soup.

He first picked and washed the spinach. The spinach leaves were emerald green, as if they were a masterpiece of nature.

He cut it into small pieces, each of which was of uniform size. Then he cut the tofu into small cubes for later use. The tofu was as white as snow, soft and delicate.

Add appropriate amount of water to the pot, bring to a boil, then put in the tofu cubes and cook for a few minutes to allow the bean aroma to slowly release.

Then he put the spinach segments into the pot and watched the spinach quickly turn green and tender in the boiling water.

Add a little salt and chicken essence for seasoning, and a few drops of sesame oil for flavor, and the aroma will spread instantly.

In a short while, a pot of steaming spinach and tofu soup was ready.

Gu Qingze placed the steamed eggs with shrimp and spinach and tofu soup on a tray and walked towards Chu Lingxiao's room.

He gently pushed the door open and saw Chu Lingxiao half leaning on the bed, flipping through a book.

Gu Qingze smiled and placed the lunch on the table beside the bed, and said softly: "Ling Xiao, come and try the lunch I made for you. I hope you like it."

Chu Lingxiao put down the book and looked at him, his eyes seemed to be indicating something.

Gu Qingze tilted his head in confusion: "Ling Xiao, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Seeing his confused look, Chu Lingxiao reminded him helplessly: "Qingze, you won't feed me this time?"

Gu Qingze smiled and rubbed his head, teasing: "Ling Xiao doesn't really want to be a child, does he? He needs someone to feed him all the time."

Chu Lingxiao pulled his arm, shook it, and deliberately said coquettishly: "Sick people are children and should be taken care of."

"Okay, okay, then little Ling Xiao, come and eat."

Gu Qingze looked at him helplessly but dotingly, picked up the spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg with shrimp, blew it at the corner of his mouth, and then brought it to Chu Lingxiao's mouth.

Chu Lingxiao nodded in satisfaction, opened his mouth, and slowly took a bite of the delicious food.

Gu Qingze fed Chu Lingxiao while talking softly to entertain him.

"Ling Xiao, when you recover, we will make beef brisket stewed with potatoes together."

Chu Lingxiao nodded: "But when that time comes, I want to be the head chef, and Qingze will assist me."

After a while, the meal was almost finished.

Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao's face, which had regained some color, and felt relieved.

He cleaned up the dishes and poured a cup of warm water for Chu Lingxiao and placed it beside the bed.

"Ling Xiao, have a good rest. I'll come see you later."

Chu Lingxiao held his hand and said softly, "Qingze, you must come back soon. I want you to stay with me more."

Gu Qingze smiled and shook his hand back, "Okay, wait until I finish washing the dishes, I'll come and accompany you right away."

................

In less than five minutes, Gu Qingze returned to the bedroom and saw Chu Lingxiao holding a chess set in his hand.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze with anticipation and said, "Qingze, how about a game of chess? I just learned how to play chess recently and I really want to try it."

Gu Qingze readily agreed. He had played chess before, and although it had been a long time, he still remembered the rules and how to play.

He placed the chessboard steadily on the small table, then pulled over a chair, sat down slowly, and looked at the chessboard intently.

Chu Lingxiao first placed the chess pieces one by one. He gently picked up each piece and placed it accurately in the appropriate position.

He first pushed the white pawn forward two spaces, a common move in chess openings.

The white soldier took steady steps on the chessboard, like a brave warrior embarking on a journey.

Gu Qingze narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the chessboard, and after thinking for a moment, he pushed the black soldier forward two squares and responded to Chu Lingxiao's challenge calmly.

The black soldiers moved forward firmly, as if announcing their presence to the white camp.

The corners of Chu Lingxiao's mouth rose slightly, and he then jumped the white horse to the right position, landing on the chessboard quickly and agilely, threatening Gu Qingze's soldiers.

Gu Qingze was not in a hurry. He nodded slightly and glanced calmly across the chessboard.

Afterwards, he moved the black elephant out diagonally, which not only protected his own soldiers but also posed a certain deterrent to Chu Lingxiao's horse.

The situation on the chessboard gradually became tense. Chu Lingxiao fell into deep thought again, and after a moment, he decided to move the queen sideways.

This is a bold move, the queen is very powerful and can move around the chessboard.

Gu Qingze frowned slightly. He knew the threat from the Queen. He drove the black car sideways and tried to restrain Chu Lingxiao's Queen.

When Chu Lingxiao saw Gu Qingze's response, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

He continued to move the pieces skillfully, his fingers gently touching each piece as if communicating with them. He bravely rushed a pawn forward to open a path for the other pieces.

Gu Qingze analyzed the situation calmly, not missing any details.

He moved the black elephant again to attack Chu Lingxiao's soldiers. The black elephant took steady steps, with an unstoppable force.

As the game progressed, both sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.

Chu Lingxiao sometimes fell into deep thought, and sometimes acted decisively, and the chess pieces fell quickly in his hands.

Gu Qingze was also concentrating, carefully considering every step. He nodded and shook his head slightly from time to time, as if he was evaluating his own moves.

The chess pieces on the board seemed to have turned into soldiers on the battlefield, fighting bravely for victory.

After a fierce battle, Chu Lingxiao finally found an opportunity.

His eyes lit up and a smug smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He cleverly used the cooperation of the queen and the horse to pose a threat to Gu Qingze's king.

Gu Qingze tried hard to find a way to resolve the crisis, but ultimately failed.

Chu Lingxiao laughed excitedly. He looked at Gu Qingze and said, "Qingze, I won this round." His smile was as bright as the sun, full of the joy of victory.

Gu Qingze smiled and nodded, praising: "Ling Xiao is indeed Ling Xiao, he learns everything very quickly and can do it very well."

"Qingze, your chess skills are pretty good too." Chu Lingxiao suggested, "How about we play another game?"

"Okay." Gu Qingze nodded with a smile and rearranged the chess pieces.
