Shi Mu sighed and poured water for his sister with heartache. “It must be that old thing Yi Ming. Look at how scared my sister is! Baby, you won’t suffer grief from him in the future. If the Yi family doesn’t want you, you’ll marry someone else!”

“Xiao Mu!” Shen Xian pushed her son helplessly and gave him a look, indicating that Shi Zhong was still standing behind him with a straight face.

Shi Mu closed his mouth unwillingly and handed the glass of water in his hand to Shi Man. He carefully patted her back to calm her down.

The other brothers of the Shi family also surrounded the bed, treating her as a national treasure.

Shi Man drank a glass of water. The hot sweat on her forehead gradually dissipated, but her body was still a little hot. “I’m fine. Don’t worry. What time is it?”

“It’s already nine o’clock. We asked Bai Xue and Su Tang to help you apply for leave at school.” Shen Xian tested the temperature of Shi Man’s forehead worriedly and frowned with heartache. “If you’re not feeling well, rest at home for a day. Don’t force yourself. You scared me just now!”

“What happened to me just now?” Shi Man looked at the surrounding people with different expressions in surprise.

Shi Yu sighed softly and tried to speak as softly as possible. “You must have had a nightmare just now. Your limbs kept moving and you were breathing heavily. Dad and Mom were worried about you and had already called the doctor over.”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shi Man’s face. She blushed and looked away unnaturally. “I’m fine. Asked the doctor not to come over. Since you have applied for leave from school, I’ll go to the company today.”

“Be good and don’t move. We’ll be at ease if the doctor checks on you.” Shen Xian pressed her shoulder and forcefully stuffed her back into the blanket.

Shi Mu sat by the bed eagerly, looking even more pitiful than Shi Man, who was suspected to be sick.

Shi Man helplessly endured everyone’s gazes as she closed her eyes. In the end, she couldn’t help but persuade them, “You guys should go do your own things. I’m really fine. Don’t keep staring at me.”

“We’re just worried about you. After the doctor checks and confirms that you’re fine, we’ll leave.” Shi Ke, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

The others hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Shi Man sighed helplessly. Since she couldn’t chase them away, she wouldn’t be angry with them. She could only endure those strong gazes and carefully recall the woman she met in her dream.

To be fair, Shi Man had killed many people in her previous life, but she had never encountered any strange cases of vengeful spirits taking lives.

She had never believed in ghosts and gods, nor did she engage in feudal superstitions. However, she had to take what happened in the dream last night seriously.

She didn’t believe in ghosts, but she had to believe that there were some things in this world that couldn’t be explained by science. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have transmigrated into the world of the book unless she had already gone crazy and everything she was experiencing was an illusion.

However, not only was Shi Man not crazy, but she was also especially awake.

Therefore, all she could do now was verify if the face she saw in her dream was Xi Ying.

Thinking of this, Shi Man suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the blanket, and was about to get out of bed.

Shi Mu, who had been staring at Shi Man’s face in a daze, was shocked. He quickly pressed her back into the blanket helplessly, his voice carrying an obvious sobbing tone.

“My precious sister, 1 beg you. You might be having a fever now. Don’t move!”

Shi He’s heart was in his mouth. Seeing Shi Man’s anxious expression, he misunderstood and quickly comforted her. “We’ve already sent someone to tell Grandpa Yi. Sister, don’t be anxious. You don’t have to go today.”

At the thought that his sister had been bullied by Yi Ming recently, he couldn’t bear it. Therefore, when he got someone to go to the hospital to inform Yi Ming, he specially instructed that person to buy a can of stinky tofu on the way and secretly place it by Yi Ming’s window. He had to avenge Shi Man.

Shi Man sighed speechlessly and explained tiredly, “Who said I’m going to his place? I’m going to look for Yi Zheng.”

“Why are you looking for him? Why doesn’t he come and see you when he can walk!” Shi Mu curled his lips habitually at the mention of Yi Zheng, his words filled with dissatisfaction with him.

Only then did Shi Man know that Yi Zheng had been discharged. She blinked and lay back under the blanket obediently, but her fingers typed a message under the blanket.

The doctor was quickly invited into Shi Man’s bedroom by Butler Qi. He only needed to glance at her expression to know that she was having a fever. He did some other tests before explaining to the others in the Shi family, “It’s just a fever. 1’11 prescribe some medicine and rest for a day.”

Shen Xian thought of Shi Man’s appearance just now and asked a few more questions worriedly. After confirming that Shi Man was really fine, she accompanied her to finish breakfast and fever medicine before leaving with the others.

The people around her suddenly dispersed. Shi Man could finally heave a sigh of relief. She took out her phone and was about to continue texting Yi Zheng when her phone screen suddenly lit up.

“I’ll come to you now..”
