Chu Heng could not help but take a look at Ye Muyu. Seeing that she was not angry, he smiled.

It seemed that his taste was indeed not bad. Compared to the previous Madam Ye, the current Ah Yu was much easier to get along with.

“Then I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll go outside and see if there’s anything I can help you with.” Madam Liu stood up and said. Although there was no need to deliberately entertain the guests at the Flowing Water Banquet, the people who came were very chaotic. No matter what status they had, they could come. Even those from the neighboring villages who heard the news came to eat at the banquet.

In this day and age, who would eat meat every day? Only a fool would not come to a banquet if they could.

Especially since it was the beginning of the farming season, there was plenty of time.

She had to help keep an eye on the house in case anything was stolen.

Ye Muyu did not stay any longer and continued to organize the gift list in the central room.

The list of gifts had to be re-recorded. When each family held a wedding, they needed to look at it when they returned the gifts.

Halfway through copying the list of gifts, Madam Hu hurried in from the door.

“Madam, there’s something on Master’s side. Quickly go over and take a look.”

“Ah Heng? Where was he? What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu asked in confusion.

Madam Hu pointed to the study. “He’s in the study. He just drank some wine, and he’s a little wobbly like he’s drunk. But Han Zhuang said that the Master’s body is a little hot, so he asked Old Zhang to call Doctor Qi over.”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she was a little suspicious. Was Chu Heng trying to escape from drinking?

If she remembered correctly, Chu Heng’s alcohol tolerance was very good. It was rare for him to get drunk.

Although she found it strange, Ye Muyu did not hesitate. She put the gift list into a wooden box and carried it into the study.

Madam Hu took the initiative to help her close the study door.

Ye Muyu placed the wooden box on the empty shelf beside him and walked behind the desk. “Ah Heng, what’s wrong?”

Chu Heng opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist. With a little force, Ye Muyu fell into his arms.

Ye Muyu reached out and touched his forehead. It was as if she had touched a stove. She was shocked. “What’s wrong? High fever?”

“I’m fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable. Ah Yu, let me hug you.” Chu Heng gently placed his head on her shoulder. His voice was a little hoarse and even nasal.

Ye Muyu knew that he had caught a cold and a high fever.

“Why did you suddenly have a high fever? You’re actually forcing yourself to drink. What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu was so worried that she could not help but scold him in a low voice. “Why isn’t Lu Sangqi here yet?” she urged.

“Ah Yu, are you worried about me?” Chu Heng’s voice was muffled, but there was a hint of joy.

“You’re still in the mood to joke, so it doesn’t seem serious.” Ye Muyu hugged him and said helplessly.

Chu Heng let out a happy smile. “Ah Yu, it’s okay. It’s just a cold. I’ll be fine after a night’s sleep.”

“I just suddenly wanted to hug you. Ah Yu, just hug me.” Chu Heng did not mind that he was sick at all. Instead, he was happy that he was sick and worried about Yu.

This made his heart feel especially warm.

“Aren’t you hugging me every day?” Ye Muyu could not help but mutter. Which couple in the village hugged each other every day? Only Chu Heng, even when they were eating, would hook his arm around her waist. Usually, when they were standing and talking, he would also hook his arm around her hand. He was very clingy.

Chu Heng did not say anything and just hugged her in a comfortable position.

“How did you catch a cold?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.

Chu Heng’s face darkened when he thought about what happened last night. He tightened his grip on Ye Muyu.
