After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Carrying Fourth Brother Bridal Style While He Has a Fever

Lu Sheng instinctively caught the person who fell onto her and took a deep breath, "...Fourth Brother?"

Lu Youming felt extremely groggy, his burning forehead resting on the young girl’s shoulder.

He had just heard the knocking sound and wanted to ask who it was, but his throat seemed unable to make a sound.

Struggling to get up from the bed, he just managed to open the door before he couldn’t hold himself up anymore.

...So it was Lu Sheng.

Why was she here looking for him so late?

They weren’t particularly close; they were supposed to keep a distance, but here he was, lying atop her.

Lu Youming’s mind was in a haze, trying to steady himself, but his body felt as heavy as if it was filled with lead.

He had no choice but to lean all his weight on the young girl, breathing heavily.

However, he realized that the girl was much calmer than he had expected.

He felt her hand support his back, then she raised her other hand to check his forehead’s temperature.

There was a pause in her breathing, and then she spoke firmly to him, who was struggling to get up, "...Don’t move."

Though Lu Youming was slender, his height over one meter eight meant that his weight was not light when he let it fall.

Under such circumstances, an ordinary frail girl could not possibly hold him up.

But fortunately, Lu Sheng was neither ordinary nor frail.

The young girl took a deep breath and then suddenly bent down to lift Lu Youming in a princess carry.

"..."

For a moment, Lu Youming thought he was delirious from the fever, or his brain was damaged by the heat.

But the reality was, his petite sister, barely over one meter six, effortlessly picked him up and then steadily placed him on his bed.

"You..." Lu Youming struggled to open his eyes to speak.

"At least thirty-nine degrees, with a fever like this, and Fourth Brother didn’t make a sound in his room."

The girl didn’t show it, but her tone was slightly angry.

This left Lu Youming, whose mind was already not clear, somewhat dazed.

"If the fever had continued a bit longer, Fourth Brother could have passed away in his room tonight without anyone in the family knowing."

Lu Sheng pursed her lips, turned around to leave, "I’ll go call the eldest brother here."

But just as Lu Sheng turned away, Lu Youming suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"...Don’t go," Lu Youming gasped for air, speaking with difficulty, "Don’t let the eldest brother and others know I’m sick."

"In the cabinet of the desk in my room, there is a medicine box containing medicine to reduce fever... Can you get it for me? I’ll be fine once I take the medicine."

Lu Sheng turned back, looking at Lu Youming with a slight frown, "Why don’t you want Big Brother and the others to know?"

Lu Youming’s forehead was sweaty, and he felt somewhat dizzy.

Sick, he didn’t have the mental capacity to organize his words well, so what he said was much more honest than usual.

"If the eldest brother knows I have a fever, he will worry... worry that the fever may trigger my asthma."

"He would call a doctor over in the middle of the night... or send me to the hospital."

"He’d think that me getting sick as soon as I started school means my body could not adapt to the school environment... he’d do like when I was a child, arranging homeschooling for me, keeping me away from people."

"I... don’t want... I don’t want that."

Lu Youming’s brow furrowed, and it seemed to take a lot of effort to say so much. His brow was knitted, his delicate face pale without a trace of color.

However, hearing his words, Lu Sheng paused for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and saying, "...I understand."
