Chapter 60 ......

I wonder if it's because the house gets colder or hotter.

By evening, Yue Yiyue felt drowsy, had a headache, and felt cold.

This feeling was so unfamiliar. It was Gu Nanqiu who reminded Yue Yiyue that something seemed wrong with her; her breath was too hot.

He casually shoved the thermometer into Yue Yiyue's arms.

Yue Yiyue touched his forehead; it wasn't hot.

To put Gu Nanqiu's mind at ease, Yue Yiyue still took her temperature.

Gu also went to fetch the medicine box, and also stuffed in a cup of warm water and a cup of cold water.

Under Gu Nanqiu's direction, they went into the room, picked up a small blanket, and threw it on the sofa.

Then he closed the balcony door tightly.

Gu Nanqiu turned on the projector and put on a movie.

It's an old movie from the last century.

Yue Yiyue glanced at it; it was a road movie filmed more than ten years ago, about the funny things that happened when two women from different social classes traveled together.

"It looks pretty good." Yue Yiyue stood up and took a few steps. The feeling of being top-heavy made her a little uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, Yue Yiyue took out some snacks from the snack cabinet next to him: "What else do you want to eat? Beef tendon? Where do I put my phone? You guys order your own milk tea, I want it hot."

Gu Nanqiu waved the phone that belonged to Yue Yiyue in her hand: "I'm using your phone to look at some information."

At this point, Gu Nanqiu glanced meaningfully at Gu Ye, who was busy running around to the side: "Let's not drink tonight, tomorrow instead. I'll make you some ginger soup and boil some warm water. I just noticed the temperature dropped a while ago, so I bought you a thermos; it'll be perfect for now."

"It's not like I'm really sick." Yue Yiyue was a little annoyed that Gu Nanqiu was treating him like a patient. Gu Ye whispered to Yue Yiyue that time was up.

Under the fluorescent light, Yue Yiyue looked up and watched the mercury pass through the red 37° and finally land at 38.2°.

The words that were about to come out stuck in his throat, and Yue Yiyue suddenly felt a warmth spreading through his body: "Where's the medicine?"

Koya pointed to a small table next to him: "Drink the capsule with cold water, then sit on the sofa, watch some movies, and relax."

Worried that Yue Yiyue might stay up all night with them despite his exhaustion, Gu Ye added, "Gu Nanqiu specifically found the kind that's hypnotic. If you get sleepy while watching, just go to sleep. You'll feel better after a nap."

"Thank you." Yue Yiyue only thought that Gu Ye's thoughtfulness was because Gu Ye had grown into a capable adult.

At least when it comes to things like the common cold, they handle things much more skillfully.

Yue Yiyue had had fevers before, but less often, and she was in pretty good health. Usually, she would just lie in bed and sweat it out.

This is the first time I've experienced something like this, with blankets stuffed inside my mouth and someone helping me pour medicine.

The pot in the kitchen was bubbling away; Gu Nanqiu was making ginger soup.

The feeling of being taken care of is truly quite subtle.

When Yue Yiyue was pressed down onto the sofa by Gu Ye, she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

But when Gu Ye drew the curtains around them, leaving only a dim floor lamp, Yue Yiyue wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and thought it was quite nice.

At least she wasn't lying alone in that small room with the takeout she had no choice but to buy at her feet.

Gu Ye stood aside and stared at the living room for a moment, then sat down on the fluffy carpet and leaned against Yue Yiyue's legs: "It will be fine tomorrow morning."

"I just found out, Gu Ye, you're that miracle doctor." Yue Yiyue said jokingly, "You guys too, you knew I had a fever before you even finished taking my temperature. Do you have some unique secret?"

Gu Ye looked up at Yue Yiyue, his gaze falling smoothly onto the watch on Yue Yiyue's hand, where the readings were steadily rising, gradually approaching 85.

"It's a secret. You'll know when you remember it later." Gu Ye listened to Yue Yiyue's breathing, which was a little faster than usual because of his fever.

She can't recall it anymore; even if she does, she won't want to leave.

On the projection screen, there are green mountains and clear waters, beautiful scenery, and the two lead actresses laughing heartily. They are holding local delicacies and acting out their leisurely vacation in front of the camera.

Everything looks wonderful.

Gu Nanqiu brought over the ginger soup, which was at just the right temperature. She looked down at Gu Ye, who looked like a puppy about to be abandoned, and sighed inwardly. If only Gu Ye were as well-behaved as she had acted.

However, Gu also had to go back, and the worst part of Gu Nanqiu's heart was opening a bottle of wine.

After tonight, she will turn Gu Ye from Yue Yiyue's memory into an NPC who passes through her life, which is also a small punishment for Gu Ye.

He deliberately lost to Wu Zhen, looking utterly broken, but he tolerated it because of her youth.

But when I saw the text message, I realized that Yue Yiyue hadn't told Gu Ye where she went or whether she needed to come.

That explains why Wu Zhen later frantically tried to seize her power.

There's still one question: since they share the same memories, why, why can Gu Ye still make some small movements?

It doesn't matter, since only she can truly stand beside Yue Yiyue anyway.

Gu Nanqiu tried her best to make her act seem less fake, and she patted the chair next to her: "Gu Ye, wouldn't this be a better spot?"

Koya looked up and barely managed to suppress his eye-roll: "No need, I chose it myself."

The last two words were pronounced with extra emphasis.

Yue Yiyue didn't understand their little scheme.

She downed her ginger soup in one gulp, pulled Gu Nanqiu to sit on the sofa, and quietly told her what had happened in the previous episode.

Fearing that she might pass on her cold to Gu Nanqiu, Yue Yiyue nudged Gu Ye, who was standing nearby, to signal her to move away so that she could have some distance from Gu Nanqiu.

Before Yue Yiyue could move, Gu Nanqiu explained, "No, Yiyue, this isn't the flu and you won't infect others. Trust me."

Upon hearing the voice, Yue Yiyue was momentarily dazed before leaning on Gu Nanqiu's shoulder.

Gu Nanqiu quietly felt a pang of regret.

If only she could be infected, then their bodies would both be burning hot, and she would have a reason to hold Yue Yiyue close, whisper in her arms, and caress her soft skin.

He could also bury his face in her chest and, while she was still half asleep, inadvertently leave his mark on her beautiful body.

Anyway, Yue Yiyue wouldn't care about these small details.

As long as she doesn't go all the way to the end, she'll always find a suitable excuse.

Yue Yiyue felt two inexplicable gazes staring intently at him.

"Why are you looking at me instead of watching the movie? Do you think it's strange that I have a fever?" She grabbed some snacks from the side and stuffed them into their arms: "I'm just an ordinary person."

"If I fall asleep later, remember to cover me with a blanket." Yue Yiyue yawned, his head not quite clear because of the fever: "It seems the medicine is taking effect."

Half an hour later, only the movie was still diligently playing in the living room, accompanied by peaceful and serene music and beautiful grassland scenery.

The living room was already empty.

————

Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue, who was lying on the bed beside her with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Tentacle placed the prepared hot water and towel aside.

After the sound of rushing water subsided, Gu Nanqiu took a towel of suitable temperature and carefully wiped the sweat off the person's body.

Gu Ye pulled out a pair of pajamas that matched the color of his clothes and placed them on the bed: "It's a pity I can't participate in this event, stingy Nanqiu."

"What's the big deal? Wasn't it the same when Yue Yiyue took care of you?"

Recalling that time, Gu Nanqiu's gaze softened again: "I felt like you were a baby who hadn't been weaned. I fed you and bathed you. This is a treatment we can't get. You should be grateful."

Gu also listened to the other person's sour words, thinking that it was all about him, and he was even jealous.

Of course, I'm no good monster myself.

"But so what? Under the rules, she doesn't remember me anymore." Yue Yiyue had already fallen into a deep sleep, and Gu Ye was too lazy to pretend to be a good girl. She hooked her long legs and sat on a chair next to her, took out a cigarette from her pocket, and only put it in her mouth without smoking it because Yue Yiyue was there.

"So what? She's still being kind to you out of instinct." Gu Nanqiu's hand stroked that somewhat rough face, weathered by time, and she liked the little freckles on it more and more the more she looked at them.

"But you still want to go against Yue Yiyue's wishes, kill me, take my place, and stay by her side."

“If it weren’t for the God of God arranging for a forensic doctor to keep an eye on things, you would have already come and killed me with Wu Zhen and the others.” Gu Nanqiu glanced at Gu Ye standing to the side: “Don’t forget, I’m different from you. I’m the one personally chosen by Yue Yiyue. I’m the heroine she appointed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone started vibrating wildly, and a pattering sound came from outside the window as well.

It was as if something was urgently expressing its dissatisfaction.

Gu Nanqiu glanced at the madman who had broken through his defenses and sent out a lot of messages, directly pushing the number of messages to 99+.

"She's the same, she can't even be a good dog. If she makes things difficult for Yue Yiyue later, then it would be worth it for them to die a thousand times over."

Gu Ye, with her nonchalant demeanor, was not embarrassed by Gu Nanqiu's exposure of her thoughts: "I know, I am you, and you are me. Only when we both return to our original forms and hear those words can we truly complete the bet."

"Didn't I finish it all right? Although I arranged for that idiot to lock you up there, the kill failed, and you're still alive." The confusion in Gu Ye's eyes completely disappeared.

I thought she had done a good job of cleverly deceiving Wu Zhen into seizing Gu Nanqiu's power.

Including later impersonating that voice.

It must be because she appeared too quickly that Gu Nanqiu became suspicious.

By checking Yue Yiyue's phone, it became clear that Yue Yiyue had not notified her to go to that place; he had only glanced at the madman's message.

What to do next was still taught to me by that madman. The madman's mind wasn't clear, but he was also a pretty good monster.

"I'm just honoring my bet, everything I told you is true."

"By the way, some of them have already reached the point where they can not share memories. I learned that from the madwoman." Despite the praise, Gu Ye didn't hold back when it came to the madwoman: "I'm going back now, I'm going back now, otherwise the madwoman will eat me up again and merge with me."

Gu Ye completely changed her pitiful appearance from before. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Yue Yiyue lying on the bed with regret: "I hope that next time, she will remember that I was once a part of her past."

"Oh, if my memories are really erased, Yue Yiyue will be angry, right? After all, the madman did that before and was locked up in City A, which was terrible."

Do you think she'll do it again this time?
