Xu Musen was confined to bed.
The girls, upon hearing the news, rushed over one after another, anxious to check on him.
"I noticed he seemed to have caught a cold last night, but he was still acting tough. Now, he has to face reality."

The girls were all clever and quickly surmised that Xu Musen was persisting for their sake, which moved them deeply.
A man like him truly provided a sense of security.
Looking at Xu Musen now, his face flushed with fever and lying in his blankets, the girls' eyes flickered with concern.
An Nannan approached the bed and extended her small hand to feel Xu Musen's forehead.

Oh... there's still breathing.
"I'm telling you... it's just a cold, I'm not dead yet..."
