When Ye Ling entered the small world earlier, she had covered Min Nan’s eyes, and she had forgotten to remove the gauze afterward. Seeing the white gauze still on Min Nan’s face, Ye Ling reached out and took it off.

As Ye Ling approached, Min Nan had already sensed her presence.

For a brief moment, he hesitated whether he should wake up.

As Ye Ling drew closer, the faint fragrance grew stronger, and Min Nan’s heart raced even faster.

Ye Ling put the gauze aside. Seeing that Min Nan’s eyes were still closed, she held the medicine bowl, feeling a bit uncertain.

How was she going to administer the medicine if he hadn’t woken up yet?

Looking at Min Nan’s exhausted face, Ye Ling’s sense of guilt deepened.

Min Nan’s current state was all because he had helped her deal with Wang Gang. Now that Min Nan was unconscious, what was there to hesitate about? In other words, Min Nan could be considered her benefactor.

Moreover, she was a doctor now. Why was she overthinking this? The patient’s health was the priority.

With this mindset, Ye Ling surmounted the hesitation in her heart. She set the medicine bowl on the table and then sat beside Min Nan. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she lifted his upper body. Since Min Nan wasn’t wearing any clothes, Ye Ling kept her gaze averted. Her hands on his shoulders trembled slightly.

Carefully, she helped Min Nan lean against the headboard.

Thankfully, her physical condition had improved considerably after her rebirth, allowing her to handle a strong man like him.

Meanwhile, Min Nan, with his eyes closed, berated himself for pretending to be unconscious and deceiving Ye Ling. He speculated whether Ye Ling was going to feed him the medicine.

With this thought in mind, a rather audacious idea crossed Min Nan’s mind.

After assisting Min Nan to sit up, Ye Ling reached for the medicine bowl. However, she caught sight of Min Nan’s upper body slowly tilting sideways from the corner of her eye.

Startled, Ye Ling quickly extended her hand to support Min Nan.

Although Min Nan’s head drooped, he wasn’t leaning against Ye Ling. Yet, his warm breath brushed against her neck, sending shivers down her spine.

Ye Ling’s brow furrowed with distress.

Min Nan, in his unconscious state, couldn’t even sit properly. How was she supposed to give him the medicine?

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Ling placed her hand on Min Nan’s forehead, gently guiding his head to rest on her shoulder.

Ye Ling was in a state of despair. After all, she was the one who took off Min Nan’s clothes. In her opinion, this little intimate contact was no longer a big deal.

In any case, Min Nan was currently unconscious. As long as she didn’t feel awkward, this situation would remain unawkward.

Their current position was incredibly intimate. Ye Ling suddenly grew concerned about what would happen if Li Bin suddenly walked in.

Even though Ye Ling had repeated the words in her mind, “I’m a doctor, and Min Nan is a patient.” Ye Ling still felt a twinge of guilt.

Forget it, she should focus on administering the medicine to Min Nan. Ye Ling took a deep breath, picked up the medicine bowl, and used her other hand to maneuver around Min Nan’s shoulder, bringing the bowl to his lips. This position made it easier for Ye Ling to give Min Nan the medicine, though it did look as if she were cradling him.

With a spoon in her right hand, Ye Ling brought the medicine to Min Nan’s mouth. After prying his mouth open, she gently poured the medicine in.

Ye Ling had initially thought that it would be challenging for an unconscious person to drink medicine, but Min Nan seemed to have some awareness and drank the medicine smoothly.

Ye Ling sighed in relief and continued feeding him.

After a few more spoonfuls, Ye Ling suddenly noticed that Min Nan’s body had grown slightly rigid, and his body temperature appeared to have risen.

Perplexed, Ye Ling turned her head to observe Min Nan’s expression. However, she had forgotten that they were very close. As she turned her head, her lips almost brushed against Min Nan’s cheek.

Ye Ling was so frightened that she almost threw the bowl of medicine away. After she calmed down, she looked down at Min Nan’s side profile, but she could not see anything unusual about Min Nan’s expression.

Min Nan’s profile was handsome, with smooth and sharp lines that resembled a work of art. Ye Ling was even more envious of his long and thick eyelashes, which seemed to surpass even those of most girls. When his eyelashes drooped, Min Nan appeared serene and docile, a complete contrast to his usual demeanor.

After a while, Ye Ling realized that she had been gazing at Min Nan for an extended period. She quickly averted her eyes and continued administering the medicine. All the while, she chided herself for being captivated by a man’s appearance.

Ye Ling forced herself to focus on other matters..
