The next day.

Xunli bought new clothes and shoes under Dianzi's education, and checked her makeup in front of the mirror at least three times in the morning before she dared to enter the editorial office to start a day's work.

The situation on the second day was not much better than yesterday. Those shrewd women seemed to have figured out Xunli's temper, and occasionally turned a corner to sarcasm and did nothing out of the ordinary—they had a little bit of discord with the Akashi couple. I heard it, but I dare not really offend Xun Li.

Xunli is not good at dealing with them, and it is better not to set foot in the deep pool than to find them by himself.She simply buried herself in the pile of documents and worked obediently.

At this time, Kanai Xingzhi, who was sitting in the editor-in-chief, looked away from the computer screen and motioned everyone to stop their work——

"Everyone, starting from July 27th, we will prepare for the three-day Classic Fashion Festival. Now it is the beginning of July, and we have to start preparing for related matters."

"Hey, what fashion festival?" Xun Li was confused, and quickly opened the latest issue of the magazine in his hand. On the title page was information about the annual fashion festival.

"The biggest highlight of this fashion festival is its location. Ono and I initially decided to set the location as Odaiba, Tokyo."

"Excuse me, what is the specific location—" one of the editors asked.

"It's a cruise ship."

"Eh?"

"The runway show and press conference will be held on the cruise ship." Jin Jing's tone is unquestionable, and he is not worried about funding issues at all.

If it weren't for the huge funding system, this idea would be too whimsical for ordinary magazines.Charter an entire cruise—and it'll circle Tokyo Bay at night!It was hard for Xunli to imagine that Masashi had such a big hand.

The next step was to assign tasks. Since Xun Li's background was too strong, her superiors gave her a task that seemed important but was actually very easy - soliciting sponsorship.

... Take it easy, sister!

Xunli is almost helpless now, and Dianzi can't help at all in this regard except to provide information and financial assistance.And the eyes of a group of editors clearly said, "We believe you will do well." How could she refuse?

……

After finally surviving eight hours, Xunli left an extra hour of work (it was the end of get off work time but no one left her seat, so she was a little embarrassed to leave first.) She dragged her tired body downstairs, but The car sent by Butler Shikawa was not found.She didn't think that the serious and responsible housekeeper would let her go, let alone that it was what Yashi ordered.

She waited patiently for 10 minutes, but still no car came to pick her up.Xun Li immediately burst into laughter and stretched his waist——

"Hahaha, does this mean I want to go home by myself?"

Xunli, who was so rare to be free, didn't want to go home too early, and besides, it would take at least two hours to drive from the city center to Akashi's residence.She decided to find a ramen restaurant to settle dinner first, and then went to Ameyoko next to the JR Yamanote Line.

It's been two years since returning to Japan, but Kaoru has never enjoyed being a big city resident.She simply turned off her mobile phone, put aside the troubles at work, and walked all the way to Ameyoko on the subway line after eating two bowls of tonkotsu ramen.At this time, the sky was completely dark, the lights were dimmed, and huge neon lights illuminated the sky. Boring men, women and children strolled around the stalls leisurely.

There are very few women like Xunli who are wearing a Chanel suit and carrying a handbag in the night market. She took off her jacket with some embarrassment, loosened her neat ponytail, and let her hair hang lazily on her shoulders.

After only visiting a dozen or so of the hundreds of stalls, Xunli bought a bunch of inapplicable but interesting gadgets at super low prices under the rhetoric of the stall owner, including blue and white porcelain teapots, handkerchiefs and a set of don’t know what to do. The chess used (obviously, this pseudo-foreigner can't play chess).Her eyes were bright under the colorful neon lights, like a child who discovered the New World, eager to run from the door to the end of this bustling commercial street in one breath.

It's a pity that Xunli gave up after walking less than half of the distance. She didn't go out for two years, which caused her physical fitness to drop too much, and she couldn't recover in a short time.

She reached for her watch - it was past nine o'clock.She didn't want to go back and face the black faces of Masashi and the housekeeper.It started to rain just after leaving the night market. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Xunli simply called a taxi and took a taxi from Ueno Station to the station closest to Akashi's house.

What greeted her was not two black faces and a scolding meal.In fact, Masashi went to the other side of the world for a meeting, and he couldn't come back for the time being. Akashi's mansion without a male master was full of chaos tonight.

"This is... what's wrong..." Xunli, who was soaked all over, was holding a bag in one hand, and stood at the gate staring blankly at the scene.Almost all the maids were dispatched, some serving basins and some carrying towels, they were too busy.

Even the cold-faced butler Zhi Chuan rarely panicked.So far, Xunli has only seen him lose his temper twice, and each time it was related to Seijuro.

... Seijuro!

"What happened?" Xun Li stopped a little maid and asked.

"The young master has a fever!"

She froze for a moment, it was the first time she encountered Seijuro's illness.Babies before half a year old are healthier than those after half a year old because of the antibodies brought by their mothers.

"How come you have a fever!? Where's the doctor?"

"It's raining so hard, the family doctor dare not come." Zhi Chuan butler took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, "Young master doesn't allow us to take young master to the hospital for treatment."

They dare not use antipyretics and hanging water on babies indiscriminately. Only physical cooling works.

She made a gesture to go up to the third floor to see Seijuro, but they hurriedly stopped her.

"No, no..."

"Get out of the way!" Xun Li gave them a sideways look, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

They looked at each other, unless they knocked the mistress unconscious, they couldn't stop her.

Xun Li bypassed them and rushed to the third floor.The door to the baby room was open, and the cry of the baby could be heard from a distance in the corridor.Her eyes were red with distress.

Koseijuro no longer lay quietly in the cradle, but shook his body restlessly, his eyes were red and swollen from crying.Xun Li quickly hugged him in his arms, pressing his cold forehead against his hot forehead.

"What about body temperature?"

"40." The little maid who followed her upstairs stammered out the temperature she had just taken, "Yes, is it too high?"

Xun Li thought for a while, "It's hard to say, the severity of a baby's illness cannot be judged by body temperature. Where's the pulse?"

"130 five." Higher than normal.

Seijuro gasped for breath with his pink mouth, his face pale.

"Irritated breathing, loss of appetite, rapid pulse... It's completely a symptom of a pediatric emergency." After confirming the cause again, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second the big stone in her heart hung again.

It is not uncommon for babies to have a fever. My sister experienced similar things when she was young, but if it is not taken seriously, it can lead to terrible diseases such as sepsis.

Xunli showed that the ice pack was applied to Seijuro, but the picky little guy refused to let her put the ice pack on his forehead.In desperation, she had no choice but to use another method, starting from his neck with alcohol mixed with warm water.

Perhaps because he was tired from crying, Seijuro slowly closed his mouth, and the little meaty claws twitched slightly.He is much thinner than babies of the same age, and there is even less flesh on his face.

"Did you feed him?"

She turned her head and found that the room was full of maids.Xunli drove out most of the idlers and asked the little maid just now.

"I haven't taken care of it yet... because he's had a fever since the afternoon..." She stared at her toes guiltily as she answered.

"No food all afternoon!?" Xun Li almost screamed.No wonder Seijuro had another prelude to crying.

She ordered the maid to prepare a feeding bottle, and Seijuro was much better behaved this time, holding the feeding bottle and did not resist when Xun Li gave him ice compresses.

After doing all this, it was already late at night, and Xunli's tense nerves finally relaxed.She carried Seijuro back to the cradle, and planned to go back to her bedroom to take a bath.

……

Xunli stood in the foggy bathroom, facing the full-length mirror covered in water vapor, calmly staring at the ugly curved scar on his stomach.Although the marks are very faint, it is enough to imagine its hideous appearance just after the caesarean section.

Gently stroking this "precious" scar with extraordinary significance with her fingertips, she didn't bother to think whether it was Masashi who asked the doctor to have a laparotomy or her own wishes.Now, it's just a testament to her motherhood.

She put on her pajamas and came out of the bathroom. At this time, she was so tired that she was about to collapse, as if she could fall asleep if she touched the pillow.There was a knock at the door--

"Madam! Madam!" was the voice of the little maid.

"What happened to Xiaozheng?" She subconsciously thought that something happened to Seijuro again.

"The young master started crying again!"

Xunli lost all sleepiness immediately, and hurried to the nursery to coax Seijuro.The mother's strength was really strong. As soon as she picked up the child and patted him on the back, his crying gradually weakened.

"Oh, it seems that I can't sleep today..." She sighed softly, complaining on her lips, but she didn't think so at all in her heart.The time she spends with Seijuro is so little that she has no time to cherish it.

Babies usually doze off when they are full of milk, but Seijuro is getting more energetic.Touching her mother's cheek for a while, pulling her wet hair for a while.

Xun Li was amused again, hugged the fragile baby in his arms tightly and lay on the big bed, put his little head on the soft pillow, and slept with him.

"Nothing can separate us—"

The little Seijuro seemed to understand Kaoru's inner voice, and he widened his bright eyes without blinking, they showed the luster of ruby.The baby's eyes are so pure and penetrating that one can see through a person's soul at a glance.

"I will protect you no matter what..."

No matter how weak and weak she is at this time, she will swear on her life before exhausting her strength to breathe for the last time.

The mother is always the patron saint of the child.

**

Masashi was standing next to the big bed in the baby's room, staring thoughtfully at the extremely warm picture in front of him.

Seijuro had always been a sleepless child, he rarely slept so deeply, even the approaching footsteps failed to wake him up.He was still holding a strand of her hair in his palm, and his small face was next to Xunli's peaceful sleeping face.

It's unbelievable--

Is she the crazy woman who has been threatening him in different ways since entering Akashi's mansion?

Now it seems that she is obviously more interested in this child than taking off the big hat of "Mrs. Akashi".

If it wasn't for Xun Li's personality and hobbies to remain the same as before, he almost doubted her authenticity—is it the person herself, or has the inner core been replaced long ago?

Masashi folded his hands on his chest, lost in thought again.

"Wait and see what happens..." Now she is not qualified to be trusted by him.

The author has something to say: - Only then did I realize that the word count exploded in the last chapter! !

- Some readers said that the text is too thin, I support you to gain weight and then look at Orz's recent three-dimensional activities, it is really too busy.

-Xiaozheng is here to grab the show. XD The websites I opened recently are all "the most common symptoms of infants", "prevention measures for babies' fever"... and so on.
