The receptionist at the guesthouse was also quite scared. She was worried something might happen; if the person got brain damage from the burns at the guesthouse, she would be in serious trouble.

Fearing that Qiu Zean wouldn't be able to find the hospital, the receptionist accompanied him and they ran all the way to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the emergency room doctor examined Zhong Wanwan and gave her an antipyretic injection.

When Zhong Wanwan woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

For a day and a half, Zhong Wanwan's fever kept coming back up and down until her body temperature finally returned to normal before she regained consciousness.

Zhong Wanwan groggily opened her eyes and saw Qiu Ze'an with long stubble and deep-set eyes. Qiu Ze'an was pleasantly surprised.

"Master Zhong, you're awake? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Zhong Wanwan felt as if her bones had been crushed, but thankfully her head didn't hurt much anymore. However, her voice was incredibly hoarse when she opened her mouth.

Where am I?

Qiu Zean poured water for Zhong Wanwan:

"Drink some water to soothe your throat. We're in the hospital. You had a fever yesterday morning!"

Zhong Wanwan vaguely remembered that she felt cold and then someone picked her up.

Zhong Wanwan slowly got up, and Qiu Zean helped her adjust her pillow. Zhong Wanwan drank water while looking at Qiu Zean.

Upon closer inspection, he looked even more haggard than at first glance, with heavy dark circles under his eyes. Zhong Wanwan felt a little embarrassed.

"You've been guarding this place the whole time? You're practically a national treasure panda now!"

The kind-hearted old lady in the same ward said:

"Girl, you've chosen a great boyfriend. He's been inseparable from me these past few days. He's much better than my husband!"

This is the second time that people have misunderstood their relationship, but Zhong Wanwan doesn't feel particularly disgusted.

However, I'll definitely need to stay in the hospital for a few days this time, and I need to explain that clearly," Zhong Wanwan said in a hoarse voice.

"Auntie, you've misunderstood. He's not my boyfriend."

The old woman looked the two of them up and down, and she felt that she couldn't be wrong. This handsome man and beautiful woman, if they weren't a couple now, they probably would be in the future.

Moreover, this young man clearly has his eye on this girl. Even the most stoic woman can be won over by persistent pursuit. If the young man continues to treat the girl like this, even a stone will eventually be warmed up!

The old lady spoke up for Qiu Ze'an:

"If he's not your boyfriend, then this guy is really nice. I haven't seen him eat in the last couple of days, and he's visibly lost weight!"

After saying that, the old lady winked at Qiu Ze'an, meaning:

Young man, this is all the help I can give you. You must seize this opportunity.

After the old lady said that, Zhong Wanwan became even more embarrassed, and she lowered her head:

"Battalion Commander Qiu, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened!"

Qiu Zean scratched his head:

"Actually, I didn't think this through. If I had noticed earlier that you weren't feeling well, I wouldn't have let you get such a high fever."

"Take good care of yourself these next few days, and we'll head back once you've recovered!"

"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy you some food."

Zhong Wanwan thought to herself that it was a good thing he hadn't noticed beforehand. If he had, how would she have explained all those hand warmers on her body?

The main reason is that she was in very good health and rarely got sick from childhood to adulthood. Who would have thought that after transmigrating, her body was only so-so, and she almost got a fever from a cold wind!

Although she hadn't eaten for two days and had a persistent fever, Zhong Wanwan had little appetite.

"How about some porridge? I don't really want anything to eat!"

Qiu Zean thought that was fine too, as millet porridge is easy to digest.

Qiu Zean went to the canteen and bought millet porridge, two eggs, a salted duck egg, and two small portions of local pickled vegetables. He also bought himself a large bowl of vegetable noodles.

…………

As soon as Qiu Zean left, the old lady next to him chimed in, saying:

"Girl, that young man seems to like you!"
