Chapter 37 Surrender to Tenderness

The next morning, Tong Wanwan was unable to get up to make breakfast for Elvis and the others.

She had accidentally caught a cold yesterday and had been feeling hot and cold since she fell asleep. When she woke up, she realized her whole body was burning like she had been immersed in a hot pot, and her head was dizzy.

The 1551 system came out of sleep mode and after waking up, it discovered that Tong Wanwan was acting strangely.

【Wanwan! What's wrong with you?!】

Tong Wanwan used up most of her strength to push herself up to sit up. Unexpectedly, she felt dizzy the moment she stood up, so she had no choice but to lie back down.

"It's okay, I seem to have... a little fever." She said in a hoarse voice.

The system was shocked: [Are you sick?!]

There are only three cute pets and two little robots at home. It seems that they can’t take care of Wanwan at all!

"Don't worry," Tong Wanwan felt her throat itchy and coughed softly a few times. "Yiyi, ask the little machine to bring the thermometer over."

[OK!] The system connected to Tong Wanwan's computer, enabled its permissions, and called the little robot up from the living room.

The little robot was very fast, carrying a thermometer and a cup of warm water. Behind its chubby body followed one, two, and three cute little pets.

Elvis didn't sleep all night last night. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Tong Wanwan's red eyes and helpless look.

I always feel like... there's a needle buried deep in my heart, making it prick and numb.

It wasn't pain, but it was more unbearable than pain.

Elvis originally wanted to wait for Tong Wanwan at the door and wait for her to come out, but he suddenly saw the housekeeping machine taking a thermometer and carrying boiled water and walking upstairs.

Realizing that something might have happened to Tong Wanwan, Elvis hurried to catch up.

Eli and Tracy, who also had trouble sleeping last night, quietly followed Elvis and followed the small machine into the bedroom.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tong Wanwan, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes and saw the small household machine that Yi Yi called over, as well as the three cute pets rushing over.

"Ouch!" Elvis jumped to the edge of the bed in a moment of desperation and carefully touched the black-haired girl's face with the pads under his snow-white paws.

...It's so hot.

Looking closely, her already fair face had become even paler, with an abnormal redness on both sides of her cheeks, and even her breathing had become much more rapid.

If it had not been confirmed long ago that Tong Wanwan's mental power was almost non-existent and could only reach the F level, Elvis would have thought that the girl had experienced a mental power upgrade, which was why she had this fever-like condition.

Judging from Elvis' life experience, "getting sick" is indeed a very difficult thing to happen.

How could you suddenly get sick?

Elvis silently cooperated with Tong Wanwan who wanted to prop up her upper body. He used his little head and two paws to stand up the pillow under her head, making it easier for her to sit against the back of the bed.

"Thank you, Cancan." Tong Wanwan smiled. She raised her hand and pinched the little lion's white ears, so gently that it was almost imperceptible.

However, Elvis moved his ears and keenly felt the warmth of the girl's fingertips.

It was very icy and cold, like a piece of snow, and it made his heart tremble with cold.

He suddenly remembered that yesterday morning, Tong Wanwan, who had been looking for him and waiting for him for a long time, had already had slightly cold fingers when she hugged him.

But at that time, he was worried about Tong Wanwan's mood and did not notice that there was something wrong with her body.

Too careless.

At this moment, Elvis really wanted to punch himself.

Tong Wanwan picked up the thermometer with some difficulty and scanned herself for a second. The next moment, the number "38.8℃" appeared on the thermometer.

Fortunately, Tong Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For her, as long as the temperature did not exceed 39 degrees Celsius, it was not considered a high fever.

She held the cup of water handed to her by the small housekeeping machine with her weak hands and drank the hot water sip by sip.

“…Ah.”

Feeling guilty and self-blaming, the little white lion moved closer to Tong Wanwan, rested his little head in her arms like a spoiled child, and gently rubbed the girl's hand with his pink nose.

If you have a fever... you need to take medicine, right?

Elvis stood up, jumped out of bed, and ran out with a swish.

"Be careful, don't fall," Tong Wanwan said with a smile. She was mentally exhausted, but in a surprisingly good mood.

It was rare to see Marshal Elvis in such a hurry. Eli paused, then took the opportunity to jump up and throw himself onto Tong Wanwan's blanket. And Tracy... had already been standing on her shoulder for a long time.

The girl smiled, stretched out her hand, and rubbed the little mouse from head to tail. The soft touch of the little pet seemed to be able to heal everything.

The little mouse felt comfortable and tried not to make any "cooing" sounds for fear of disturbing her who still had a fever. It was incredibly well-behaved.

Tong Wanwan didn't expect that they would be so warm even when they were sick.

The system lowered its voice, not wanting to disturb her: "Wanwan, I sent the little robot downstairs to get the fever medicine. It'll be back soon. Oh, and I also had the robot make some porridge. The pet meals for Cancan and the others are ready too. If you're sick, make sure you drink the porridge!"

"Thank you, Yiyi, you are so great." Wanwan praised it in her heart.

[What's so great about this? Wanwan needs to rest well and recover soon...]

Interstellar medicine is advanced, but no matter what medicine it is, no matter how fast the effect is, you always need to rest for a period of time after using it. As for the length of time, it varies from person to person.

In less than a minute, Elvis came in again, holding several boxes of liquid medicine for treating common diseases in his mouth.

"Cancan?" Tong Wanwan was stunned.

She saw that following behind the little white lion was a household robot with empty hands, and she thought that the little white lion was competing with the robot to deliver medicine.

I didn't think that the little white lion might have found these medicines by himself.

"Thank you, Cancan." Tong Wanwan rubbed the little white lion's paws, picked out a healing potion that was advertised as having good effects online, and drank it.

The liquid medicine is very similar to nutrient solution, with a light fruity flavor and is not difficult to drink.

After drinking the medicine and eating the porridge brought by the little robot, Tong Wanwan had no choice but to drive away the three little animals who were reluctant to leave the room for breakfast.

"Be good and come up after you finish eating."

The three cute pets were willing to leave only when they heard that they could come and take care of her after breakfast.

The system couldn't help but sigh: [Wanwan, they are all very worried about you and like you very much.]

"Yes..." Tong Wanwan closed her eyes sleepily, her eyelids felt heavy.

She murmured, "I like you guys the most, too."

After quickly finishing breakfast, Elvis was the first to run in.

However, this time, it consciously slowed down its movements.

The room was quiet.

The girl tilted her head, her cheek facing the door, and fell asleep buried in the soft ragdoll cat.

It seemed like he wanted to wait for them, but while waiting, he accidentally fell into a sweet dream.

Ivis controlled his strength, jumped onto the bed, and stretched out his little paw pad to touch the black-haired girl's forehead. He was relieved to find that it was no longer hot.

Eli and Tracy followed suit, each taking a small seat. Marshal Ives, surprisingly, didn't chase them away, nor did he glance at them coldly.

The little white lion just moved closer and slowly and gently placed its white paw on Tong Wanwan's open palm.

Then, Ives curled up and slept next to her pillow.

In this way... when Wanwan wakes up, the first person she sees will be him.
