Baizhu x Reader || ENGLISH ||

"(Y/N)." Baizhu spoke, rudely interupting whatever snarky response the snake on his shoulders had prepared, "Are you feeling better?"

Focusing your attention on him now, you shrugged, "I think?" a soft groan leaving your lips as you stretched lazily. You did feel slightly better; confident that you, at least, wouldn't faint again in the near future. 

"Good. It was quite startling to see you faint like that. I almost didn't manage to catch you." he explained, "It seems all those times you 'walked off' a cold finally caught up to you. I always told you to take care yourself. But you never did listen to my words as a doctor, have you?"

"It wasn't a big deal at the time." You pursed your lips into a pout. You knew, you were very unreasonable when it came to your health, insisting that your body could handle it. 

"Jusst be glad it wassn't anything more sserious." Changsheng noted in a somewhat annoyed tone. 

Sitting down at the edge of the bed, you were comfortably settled in, Baizhu sighed, intertwining your fingers with his as he gave you a meaningful look, "You're always welcome here, you know that."

Seeing you were about to retort, he cut you off before you could get a word out, "I'm aware, you don't want to be a bother, but these things are serious. You could get hurt if you continue like this.""I know." You avoided his gaze, a feeling of guilt heavy in your chest. You made him worry, you didn't want that. 

"Tell you what. This time, you're staying until I make sure that you're back to your full strength. And I won't take no for an answer, understood?"

You nodded with a sigh, "Understood."

A thought popped into your head as you noticed your clothes weren't completely soaked from the rain, and whatever you were wearing, wasn't even yours to begin with, "uh... what's up with my clothes?" 

"Couldn't let your condition get any worse, now could I?" he retorted, completely avoiding what you were most interested in. Did he change your clothes?You glared at him, "You know what I mean."

The man gave you a cryptic chuckle, excusing himself before you could question him further.

 ---------

It's been about a week and you were starting to suspect that Baizhu's words were full of shit. You felt just fine, but he insisted that there was still something plaguing your body and he wouldn't let you leave before it was taken care of. 

You were currently sitting in the 'park' in front of Bubu Pharmacy, listening to the waterfall's rhythmic splashing and burbling. The weather was nice today and you were craving some fresh air. 

Occasionally, you felt Baizhu's vigilant stare, 'Does he have nothing better to do than to watch me do fuck all the whole day?' you asked yourself, frustrated at the man prohibiting you from working. 

You were completely fine, yet he still insisted on feeding you medicine for your now almost non-existent cough, 'is he trying to just erase my ability to cough entirely or what?' You snorted at the thought.
