After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 810 - 339: Could You Possibly Have Feelings for Your Brother-in-law? (Bonus - , Please Subscribe~)
Xu Musen had always been benevolent at heart, a miraculous healer with a saintly touch.
That night, he had exhausted himself, warming his younger aunt before taking care of his childhood sweetheart and getting up early to help warm up the young lady from Huhai.
He deeply felt what it meant that great ability entailed great responsibility.
Xu Musen thought of himself as selflessly devoted, but when faced with Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan's slightly resentful gazes,
Xu Musen could only cough awkwardly.
"Saving lives, ma'am, is what counts. There's no time to sweat the small stuff. Lianmai has also caught a cold, and these girls can't seem to get warm on their own."

Xu Musen made excuses, knowing that now it really had to be him holding them, as the girls' body temperature definitely wouldn't be as high as his, and if they huddled together, they might not get warm at all and could even catch colds from each other.
"No matter what you say, it's always your reasoning."
Yao Mingyue muttered under her breath. However, looking at Zhu Yulan's condition, red all over yet drenched in cold sweat, she did feel a little sorry for her.
If it were her, she would certainly cling to Xu Musen and not let go.
An Nuannuan didn't say anything either. At a time like this, the body's health was the most important thing. Everyone had drunk banlan root tea and hot water, and now felt somewhat better.
Xu Musen gently patted Zhu Yulan's cheek. The girl seemed to have a high fever, her eyes barely able to open, just murmuring for her sister and mother...
Xu Musen brought over a cup of hot water and cold medicine, supported her, and pinched her cheeks to pucker her lips: "Give her some water."
Zhao Lianmai held the hot water, blew on it, and then spoon-fed her the banlan root-infused water, spoonful by spoonful, along her lips.
The warm, sweet breath made Zhu Yulan instinctively extend her tender, little tongue, yearning for it.
Xu Musen, holding the cold medicine, also slowly lifted her little mouth to feed her.
However, Zhu Yulan kept her rows of white teeth tightly shut, subconsciously defending against the entry of foreign substances.
Xu Musen could only gently use his finger to pry apart her teeth and finally managed to get the cold medicine in.
But Zhu Yulan frowned at the bitterness flooding her mouth and instinctively spat it out.
Xu Musen was a bit helpless but then remembered there was some honey left in the fridge and asked Zhao Lianmai to bring it over, then he dipped the medicine in the honey.
Then he again slowly pried apart her teeth, but this time with the sweet, sticky scent of honey, Zhu Yulan was startled for a moment before opening her mouth willingly.
Then Xu Musen put his stuff in.
"Umm..."
The drowsy Zhu Yulan felt her tongue touch something very sweet, and very warm.
In her subconscious, she slowly sucked on it, biting and not wanting to let go.
Thus, under the concerned gaze of the young girls,
The still groggy Zhu Yulan was biting Xu Musen's finger, seemingly savoring it... In any case, this scene made both An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue think of something.
Immediately, they squinted their eyes at him.
"You saw it, she's the one who moved her mouth first!"
Xu Musen felt wronged inside and quickly withdrew his finger, but Zhu Yulan clung to it tightly.
With a "pop," there was still a trace left on the fingertip, instantly making the two young girls' gazes even more resentful.
"Cough, that should be enough, she's in your care now, I'm going to check on the situation."
Xu Musen felt he couldn't stay any longer and gently extracted Zhu Yulan from his embrace.
Xu Musen headed over to the nearby window to take a look. The storm had reduced significantly outside, but the sea was still raging.
The island itself wasn't in big trouble, but looking at the wind, it definitely seemed to be blowing toward the coast, meaning it would probably be hard to leave the island by boat for the next day or two.
Sure enough, after waiting one or two hours more,
There finally came a knock at the door of the living room.
It was the island's staff member.
He wore a raincoat and pulled a trolley that seemed to be filled with emergency provisions.
"Mr. Xu, is everything all right here?"
"We're okay, just someone with a fever."
"I'm really sorry, the typhoon came too suddenly, and it even knocked down our kitchen; all the ingredients were soaked with seawater and aren't edible anymore, so... there's no fresh food on the island for now, but don't worry, we still have emergency items like compressed biscuits and canned goods, as well as medicine. Here's also a set of blankets..."
The staff member pulled in the items, uncovering the rain cover to reveal some emergency food, including cans of fruit and beef.
"Moreover, the typhoon is currently hitting the coastline, so it might take another day or two for evacuation vessels to arrive. Until then, I'm afraid you'll have to make do with these. Once the typhoon is over, we will send someone to pick you up immediately, and we will surely try our best to provide compensation."
The staff member apologized profusely.
Indeed, Xu Musen had guessed it: after the typhoon passed, it wouldn't be possible to leave immediately.
However, at least they wouldn't starve, so Xu Musen couldn't be angry with an employee.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty, it's my duty. I'll head back now. You can reach us through the emergency phone if you need anything," and with that, the staff member pulled the trolley away.
Looking at the somewhat worried girls in the room,
Xu Musen smiled reassuringly.
"Not all bad news, at least we finally have some blankets."
Xu Musen picked up the compressed packaged blankets and opened them, watching them puff up like cotton candy.
