Chapter 36

The rain came suddenly and many people in the crew were affected by it. The director was worried that this incident would delay the filming progress, so he arranged for the crew to have ginger soup to dispel the cold.

Of course, what was sent to Sheng Jinyu was not just ordinary ginger soup.

Sheng Jinyu came out of the bathroom just as the waiter delivered a medicinal meal to his door. The porcelain cups on the dining cart were emitting hot white mist, and a salty aroma mixed with the bitter taste of medicine wafted over.

He frowned in resistance, closed the door and didn't move, apparently not intending to let anyone in.

Before he could utter the word "no need", Sheng Jinyu's hand, which was raised in the air, suddenly stopped.

He raised his head and glanced at the room across the corridor. The image of Su Ke sneezing non-stop and his whole body wet appeared in his mind again. He guessed that the crew had not prepared anything for him.

Sheng Jinyu turned around and went back to the room, saying casually, "Put it down."

Several waiters quickly pushed in a food cart, lit the candle under the white porcelain cup, and kindly reminded customers to eat it while it was hot, then left in a well-trained manner.

With a dry towel draped over his head, Sheng Jin wiped his still dripping hair with one hand, picked up his cell phone, and dialed the number out of habit.

But he suddenly thought of something and retracted his fingertips.

Why did he rush out to look for someone in such a hurry? Would Su He misunderstand him?

For someone who has been in love for a long time but has not been able to get it, did his behavior just now cross the line?

Countless questions were intertwined like twine, forming knots in Sheng Jin's originally clear mind, which he had to sort out carefully.

After a while, Sheng Jinyu threw down the wet towel, glanced at the medicine cup that he had taken in vain, took out the lighter prepared by the hotel, walked to the balcony and lit a mint cigarette.

The cool smoke spread in the humid air, which was particularly refreshing, and Sheng Jinyu's thoughts gradually became clearer.

He was just afraid that Su He would run around and cause a death. After all, no one knew Su He's likes, dislikes and habits better than Su He.

If I really changed the person, I might not feel so comfortable.

Moreover, if Su He is not around, there will definitely be countless "Su He" sent to his door by Sheng Zonglan, and he no longer has the leisure to deal with anyone else.

Yes, that must be it.

Sheng Jinyu thought he had found enough excuses for his impulsiveness. As for whether to send the medicinal food or not...

Still no decision.

Just then, Assistant Fang sent a message saying that he had left something with Su He in the morning and wanted to show it to Sheng Jinyu. However, Fang Cheng was not in the hotel now and he couldn't get through to Su He on the phone, so Sheng Jinyu had to trouble him to go and get it in person.

Before leaving, Sheng Jin took a look at the medicine bowl, but didn't take it with him.

He dialed Su He's number, listened to the beeping sound, went to the door and knocked until the phone automatically hung up. Not only did no one answer, the door didn't open either.

He frowned and knocked twice more: "Assistant Su, are you in there?"

He knocked on the door quite loudly. Logically, Su He would not be sleeping at this time. Sheng Jin had a bad feeling in his heart.

He called the hotel front desk directly, and the hotel manager brought people up to open the door.

"Su He?"

Sheng Jinyu walked quickly into the living room. He looked around and found it was quiet, without a sound at all.

The housekeeper was afraid someone might have gotten into trouble in the hotel, so he followed nervously: "Could someone have gone out, or maybe their phone is out of battery? Should we call the police?"

There was a faint sound of water coming from the bathroom on the side. Sheng Jinyu looked over and immediately walked towards the bathroom: "No need."

The bathroom door was not locked. When Sheng Jinyu knocked on it for the first time, it slid open quietly. A cloud of hot air hit his face, and he saw a white body in the misty bathtub.

"Don't come in." Sheng Jin said this to the people behind him and rushed in.

Su He was lying in the bathtub with his eyes closed, curled up and breathing heavily. The water was up to his chest and was still hot, making his whole face red.

Sheng Jinyu's brows were tightly furrowed, his face expressionless, as if every nerve in his face was tense. He rolled up his sleeves and pulled the man out of the water. He pinched the back of Su He's neck and let him lean on his shoulder, then raised his hand and patted his face a few times.

"What happened to you? Did you fall asleep while taking a shower?" he asked in surprise.

Su He looked half awake, holding onto his hand tightly, muttering, "So... stuffy... so hot..."

Drops of water fell on Sheng Jinyu's shirt, soaking almost half of his body. Sheng Jinyu touched his forehead and found it was indeed frighteningly hot. His expression changed instantly: "Do you have a fever?"

"Are you crazy? Taking a bath when you have a fever!" Sheng Jinyu raised his arm and pulled the man out. Su He was steaming all over, and it felt a little hot to hold him in his arms.

He pulled off a bath towel hanging on the side, not caring that Su He was still naked, and wrapped him into a ball.

The housekeeper's worried voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Sheng, do you need us to do anything?"

"Go find a doctor, everyone go out." Sheng Jinyu said decisively.

The people outside left one after another. Sheng Jinyu wrapped a towel around Su He's head, hooked his hands around his knees, picked him up horizontally, and walked steadily towards the bedroom.

Su He breathed in the fresh air outside the bathroom, and his complexion improved a lot. He said intermittently: "My body... is all rain water. I just wanted to take a shower and sleep, but in the end, I had no strength..."

Sheng Jinyu put him on the bed and said angrily, "He's so burned, and you didn't even turn on the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

At that time, he was only concerned about finishing it quickly, so he didn't care about this. Su He curled his lips guiltily: "...I forgot."

"Assistant Su, have I exploited you so much that you got sick and insisted on not telling me?" Sheng Jin put his hands on both sides of Su He and looked at him seriously.

"No." Su He shook his head.

He crawled into the quilt wetly, feeling uncomfortable. Sheng Jinyu pressed on him like this, as if taking away all the air around him. Su He felt that he had difficulty breathing again, so he pulled the corner of the quilt and shrank in again.

Seeing that the quilt was pulled up to cover half of his face, Sheng Jinyu pulled it down without hesitation, exposing his nose and mouth, and glared at him: "If you don't want to see me, I can leave now. There's no need to suffocate yourself to death."

He made a move to stand up.

"No, I don't want to see you." Su He stretched out a hand from the quilt, held him, and said weakly.

Sheng Jinyu straightened up and stared at him for a long time. Su He felt uncomfortable being stared at, and he didn't know what he was looking at. After a long stalemate, the doorbell rang.

"Lie down." Sheng Jinyu reminded him and got up to open the door.

The doctor took Su He's temperature and confirmed that it was just a high fever caused by a cold. He then left him some medicine, gave him an IV drip, and left.

Sheng Jinyu Meitiaomeijian could only take care of his subordinates personally. He brought a basin of water, wet a towel with it, and covered Su He's forehead with it. He also used the cold towel to wipe the sides of his neck, the palms of his hands, and the soles of his feet to cool him down.

The most urgent task was to lower Su He's body temperature, but there was trouble when it came to asking him to take antipyretics.

The high temperature of nearly 40°C made Su He feel dazed and half asleep. His throat was dry and painful, and his ears were buzzing and uncomfortable, so he couldn't hear a word Sheng Jinyu said.

Seeing that it was impossible for him to eat the medicine by himself, Sheng Jinyu sighed and simply fed him the medicine himself.

The big white pill must have been very bitter. After it was stuffed into Su He's mouth, he frowned and kept resisting, using the tip of his tongue to push the pill out, and even trying to push him away with his hands, turning his head and refusing to eat it.

Sheng Jinyu competed with him silently, leaving several bite marks with water on his fingers, and the water cup in his hand was spilled by him.

After a long stalemate, Sheng Jinyu sighed heavily and helplessly took a tissue to wipe away the warm water that spilled into Su He's neck.

"Are you going to listen to me or not? If you don't take the medicine, I'll leave." Sheng Jinyu pretended to be serious and said in a cold voice.

He found that no matter Su He was drunk or drunk, he was as stubborn as a child, unreasonable, disobedient, and would go against you no matter what you said. But if you took a tough stance, he would hum and do as you were told in a cowardly manner.

As expected, as soon as these words came out, Su He sniffed, pursed his lips, slowly put down the hand that was pushing Sheng Jinyu, closed his eyes and whispered: "Listen."

Only then did Sheng Jin finish feeding the medicine and then put a towel on the patient's forehead to cool it down physically.

The water temperature was too high, and the steaming towel burned Su He's forehead red. He pouted in discomfort. Sheng Jinyu took it off in a hurry and waited until the water temperature dropped a little before applying it again.

People like him can quickly master anything since elementary school. Sheng Jinyu has always been adept at all kinds of things and rarely has such embarrassing moments of feeling stretched to the limit.

Sheng Jinyu stared at the person on the bed for a while, stood up, and was about to change the water, but his wrist was suddenly pulled.

Su He was half asleep and half awake when he felt someone feeding him medicine and wiping his forehead and palms with a warm towel, as if he was back in his childhood.

At that time, Su He was weak and suffered from minor illnesses every few days. This was how his grandmother took care of him when he was sick. But the hand holding his wrist seemed to be much bigger than his grandmother's, and the palm was dry and warm.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he was too tired to wake up. Su He's brain seemed to be stuck with a ball of paste, and he could hardly think. His temples were throbbing with pain.

After a while, the hands left.

Instantly, a familiar panic filled his heart, and the fear that had once been deep in his heart surged up. Those worries and the anxiety of being left behind were like a tide, about to drown him.

Like a drowning person seeking help, Su He raised his hand and grabbed the only piece of driftwood he could hold onto, pleading softly, "I'll be obedient. Don't leave..."

Sheng Jinyu lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that was holding him. The bones under the skin were so clear and hot that it seemed as if it could ignite a fire that would ignite him.

After staring for a while, he pulled his hand out and broke free easily.

He was about to turn around, but found a drop of water passing through the corner of Su He's eye, fell into the pillow, and disappeared silently, so fast that it seemed like his illusion.

In an instant, Sheng Jinyu's heart trembled violently.

Don't you really want him to leave?

Sheng Jin and Guo Zhen didn't go far. He went back to his room to get his computer and sat at the head of the bed to read the report sent by Fang Cheng for two hours.

The person in the sleep was very restless, always tossing and turning, and felt too hot under the quilt. From time to time, he stretched out an arm or a foot, and his feet were unknowingly pressed against Sheng Jin and his calves. He probably felt that his skin was cool and very comfortable, so he rubbed against it dishonestly.

Sheng Jin and Momentless tucked his feet back into the quilt and continued working.

It was not until the night deepened outside the window that Sheng Jinyu closed the computer and went to take a shower. When he came back, he caught a glimpse of the dense beads of sweat on Su He's forehead and reached out to test his forehead temperature.

But his hand had just touched the hot water, so he couldn't test it properly. He subconsciously leaned over and put his forehead against it. When their skin touched, the face in front of him was very close.

Too close, so close that his eyes couldn't meet, their breathing was entangled, noses touching, just a centimeter away, lips were about to touch...

Sheng Jinyu still remembers the soft touch, just like the feeling Su He gave him.

The strange feeling filled the air again, as if pushing his back for him to kiss it.
