Because of being frozen in the snow, Yan Cheng developed a high fever that afternoon, and his whole body was hot as if he was inside a furnace.

Song Jinshu was so anxious that the circles of his eyes were mostly red, and he took care of Yan Cheng next to him in a haphazard manner. The water in the basin was changed continuously.

By the time reached Xu, his body temperature gradually returned to normal.

Song Jinshu stayed by his side all afternoon, and when his body temperature subsided, he sat down on the small stool to rest, chin resting on his wrist, and his small head dipped little by little.

Feeling that someone was covering him with clothes, Song Jinshu opened his eyes in a daze and saw the person standing beside him, and all his drowsiness disappeared at once.

"Big... big brother."

Song Jinshu clutched the fabric on his side, stood up from the stool, bowed his head, and said greeted the person in front of him.

"Yeah. I heard someone say you didn't eat dinner, I ordered the kitchen to make some for you."

As he said that, he turned around and walked to the bed, and looked at Yan Cheng's situation.

"Yan Cheng is a sturdy boy, It's not going to kill him.  But, if you get sick again, your health is not very good. Don't get tired by taking care of him."

Song Jinshu raised his eyes and smiled at him, and only then did he see his attire clearly.

He was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a circle of animal fur wrapped around the cuffs, Sānqiān blue silk draped behind him like a crow's feather, and a long plain brocade strap tied in the center, which made his complexion snow-white. A piece of white jade was also tied around his waist, with the Chinese character 'Chi' carved on it.

This person is Yan Cheng's brother, Yan Chi, the eldest son of the Yan House.

At the age of 14, he was appreciated by the prince, and at the age of 16, he defeated the current champion. Just because he is the eldest, he cannot participate in the imperial examinations to serve as an official and serve the country.

When the name of Yan Chi spread out, everyone in the capital knew of him.

Yan Chi covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and coughed a few times in a low voice. When he put down his hands again, his face became pale again, it was a bit transparent.

Song Jinshu helped Yan Chi to sit down at the small table, poured a cup of warm water into Yan Chi's hand, and let him hold it warm.

Song Jinshu wanted to say a word of thanks, but after holding it for a long time, he became more anxious and more speechless. Finally, he bowed to Yan Chi with an embarrassed face.

Yan Chi was born prematurely and on a snowy day. At that time, he was fed ginseng soup for ten days in order to snatch his life from the king of hell.

His body has been weak since he was a child, and when he encounters strong winds and cold weather, it became inevitable that he has to lie in bed for ten days to half a month.

He usually doesn't like to go out of the house in the winter. Today, after hearing about Yan Cheng's condition, he thought of coming to see his unseemly younger brother.

He is probably the only one in Yan Mansion who treats Song Jinshu sincerely besides the two old people.

He took out a bag of plum blossom cakes from his sleeves, opened the package and pushed it in front of Song Jinshu, saying softly.

"Last time I saw you like to eat this, so I asked the maid to buy some from the store in the north of the city in the afternoon, and brought it, especially for you."

Hearing these words, Song Jinshu's eyes turned red, he picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and brought it to his mouth, and bit a small piece. the fragrance of plum blossoms spread inside his mouth.

After taking a bite, he was reluctant to eat anymore, so he put the piece of pastry back on the oiled paper with nostalgia, and sealed it carefully to prevent it from getting wet.

Yan Chi sadly looked raised his hand, and stroked the top of Song Jinshu's soft hair, letting out a weak sigh.

"Although I'm not in charge of Yan's family, if you have suffered any grievances, you can tell me, and I will teach that boy Yan Cheng a lesson for you."

Song Jinshu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, then shook his head, saying that he was not wronged.

Yan Chi naturally didn't believe what he said, Song Jinshu's face had lost much flesh, and the blood-red cinnabar mole between his eyebrows barely had some luster.

Yan Chi caressed the inner side of his left wrist with some disappointment, where there was a dull light red cinnabar mole.
