The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 16
Before Jiang Youxi could think further, the man on top of her groaned in pain again.
She ran over and helped He Zhuo up to the sofa.
Aunt Zhang kept calling him, but he was trapped in a deep nightmare and couldn’t escape it.
“Miss Jiang, please help me get the second young master to his bedroom on the second floor.”
“good.”
The two helped He Zhuo to his bed in the bedroom on the second floor.
Aunt Zhang immediately started rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for things.
As soon as Jiang Youxi turned around, her wrist was grabbed by a hand.
It is a congratulatory toast.
His face was contorted in pain, and he was completely unconscious, but his hand gripped it tightly as if he had grasped a lifeline in a dream, not daring to loosen it even for a moment.
Jiang Youxi’s wrist was gripped so tightly by him that it hurt terribly, showing how much pain he was in, yet she couldn’t bear to break free.
“Aunt Zhang, what are you looking for?”
“Calming incense”.
“Calming incense?”
Aunt Zhang nodded, found some calming incense and lit it, then fetched a basin of hot water, wet a towel, and gently wiped the sweat off He Zhuo’s body.
Jiang Youxi stood quietly to the side and watched.
Aunt Zhang’s movements were skillful, as if she had done it many times before.
The white smoke from the calming incense drifted out slowly, and its refreshing fragrance filled the entire room.
Perhaps the calming effect worked, because He Zhuo’s tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
He stopped having nightmares.
Jiang Youxi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to withdraw her hand, but he tightened his grip even more.
Jiang Youxi looked at his tightly clenched hand, then at the man on the bed.
He was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.
If it weren’t for the fact that he showed no signs of waking up, Jiang Youxi would have really thought he was doing it on purpose.
Seeing their intertwined hands, Aunt Zhang lowered her voice and pleaded, “Miss Jiang, could you let the second young master hold your hand a little longer? It won’t be long, just until he’s sleeping more soundly.”
“Why?”
“To be honest, my second young master has had trouble sleeping since he was a child. He has difficulty falling asleep and can only manage to fall asleep by taking medicine and calming incense.”
No wonder he always looked exhausted whenever I saw him; it turns out it was due to chronic sleep deprivation.
Aunt Zhang sighed softly: “But taking too much medicine is bad for your health. In the past two years, the second young master has been trying to reduce the frequency of taking medicine and try to break his dependence on it.”
“Miss Jiang, when did the second young master fall asleep?”
Jiang Youxi estimated the time: “About an hour ago.”
“And what about his symptoms?”
“I noticed he wasn’t covered with a blanket and was worried he’d catch a cold, so I went upstairs to get him one. When I came back, I saw him like this.”
Aunt Zhang’s expression was grave. She glanced at the woman’s coat placed to the side and seemed to have guessed something.
He Zhuo started working right after finishing his meal.
Perhaps because Jiang Youxi was there, he felt comfortable both physically and mentally, and fell asleep without taking any medicine.
He just didn’t expect that Jiang Youxi had only been gone for a short while, and because he hadn’t taken his medication beforehand, his condition suddenly worsened.
“Miss Jiang, you’ve worked hard. Please go out and rest for a bit. I’ll take care of things here.”
Feeling the man’s grip loosen, Jiang Youxi took the opportunity to pull her hand away and get up to leave.
The door closed, and the sweet peach scent that belonged to a woman was covered by the calming incense, gradually dissipating into the air.
The man on the bed frowned slightly, and his breathing became heavy again.
I’m having nightmares again.
The calming incense only provides temporary relief; to get him to sleep well, he needs medication.
Kehe Zhuo is currently in a deep sleep and is unable to take any medication.
Aunt Zhang turned her head to look at the pink coat that Jiang Youxi had left there earlier.
She reached out, picked it up, folded it neatly, and gently placed it under He Zhuo’s pillow.
In less than a minute, the pain on the man’s face gradually faded, and he slept peacefully.
Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the room.
It was already 10 p.m., and Aunt Zhang suggested that she stay overnight at Yue Lan Ting and go back the next day.
“Thank you, Aunt Zhang, but no need. My younger brother is at home, and I’m a little worried about him.”
“Alright, then I’ll have Uncle Zhang take you home. He’s the second young master’s personal driver, so it’ll be safer for him to take you back.”
Okay, thank you.
–
The next day.
When Jiang Youxi arrived at the classroom early in the morning, she saw An Xiaoyu holding her phone, typing away furiously with a ferocious expression on her face.
“Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?”
“I’m arguing with a hater right now. That idiot keeps insulting Senior Tao Jie, and I couldn’t stand it, so I went to argue with him!” An Xiaoyu glanced at her while typing, “Just you wait…”
An Xiaoyu paused, put down her phone, and lifted her forehead.
Seeing the large bump on her forehead, An Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, “Oh my god! Jiang Youxi, did you get beaten up while stealing last night? Your eyes are swollen, and you have such a big bump on your forehead?!”
Jiang Youxi picked up An Xiaoyu’s makeup mirror and took a look.
My forehead was a little red last night, but today it’s swollen with a bump.
As I looked, my gaze unconsciously fell on my left cheek.
Jiang Youxi sighed deeply as she recalled the little accident last night.
Why are you sighing?
“After working hard all night, I finally found out—” Jiang Youxi spread her hands, “I’ve lost everything.”
An Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes: “Where did this person come from?”
“I.”
“Where did the money come from?”
Jiang Youxi explained what happened last night.
An Xiaoyu exclaimed in disbelief, “Jiang Youxi, you and He Zhuo went on a blind date?!”
Jiang Youxi was startled and quickly covered her mouth: “What kiss? That was all an accident!”
“An accident isn’t a family matter?”
“no.”
“Isn’t a kiss on the cheek a kiss?”
“NO!”
“Who told you that’s not true?”
Jiang Youxi pointed to herself: “Me.”
Did you get He Zhuo’s permission to say that?
“Why do we need his permission? This is something only you and I should know. Don’t tell anyone, especially He Zhuo.”
“That won’t work.”
Why not?
An Xiaoyu tilted her chin towards the door, laughing wildly: “Because he heard it!”
Jiang Youxi suddenly turned around.
He Zhuo was standing in the doorway, his left shoulder against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching her with a leisurely air—
“Jiang Youxi, you have quite the potential to do bad things secretly.”
