People generally don't light fires in the study unless they're going to be in there all the time.

This time, Gu Shi went in and looked at the documents for a while before going out to get into bed.

Before dawn the next day, Gu Shi felt that the person next to him was extremely hot, and he instantly woke up.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu! Wake up!"

Gu Shi gently touched Lin Qingyu's face, and it felt warm and damp to the touch.

Lin Qingyu was covered in sweat, and half of her body was exposed.

Gu Shi quickly covered her with a blanket. The coal stove was almost out of heat, and the room was quite cold.

Gu Shi had just put on his sweater when Lin Qingyu woke up.

"Gu Shi, Gu Shi?"

When she woke up, she found herself very hot and thought she was on fire.

"Is the house on fire? Why is it so hot!"

Lin Qingyu sat up groggily, but as soon as the blanket slipped off, cold air rushed straight in through her sleeves.

"Ouch! It's so cold!"

She fell back onto the bed, wanting to wrap herself in the blanket, but felt too hot.

The whole process took less than ten seconds. Gu Shi saw her get up and went over to pull the blanket over her.

Then, as soon as she got to the bedside, she lay down again.

This time they finally managed to hold her down, otherwise Lin Qingyu would have run out of bed again.

"What are you doing? I want to get out! Let me out!"

People who are sick often act unreasonably, especially the one who is always loved in daily life.

Lin Qingyu has rarely been sick in recent years, especially not with such a high fever; this is the first time she has ever had one.

Gu Shi patiently pulled the blanket up, making sure her body wasn't exposed.

"It's too cold outside. Lie down for a while, and I'll make you something delicious."

When Lin Qingyu was sick, she was reluctant to go to the hospital and was very resistant to it, which was one of the reasons why she tried so hard not to get sick.

Gu Shi was used to it, so he gently coaxed her until she finally regained some composure before he went to get dressed.

Lin Qingyu stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

She felt dazed and confused, as if her mind had turned into a complete mess.

Perhaps it was because she had experienced so much all at once, and was also exposed to a bit of wind last night, that she collapsed.

Gu Shi quickly tidied up and added some more coal to the stove.

Lin Qingyu won't be hospitalized; she'll definitely have to go home.

Going to the hospital was already the absolute limit; she had never been hospitalized before, or rather, she was afraid to be hospitalized.

Gu Shi helped Lin Qingyu get dressed and then instructed Zhao Xiaobao to go to the restaurant and keep an eye on things.

He then carried Lin Qingyu into the car and carefully drove it to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Mainly because it's the closest place.

He carried the person into the hospital again, and Gu Shi took them directly to the emergency room.

His anxious appearance made the nurse think something had happened to the person he was carrying, so she rushed over.

"What's wrong, comrade?"

The nurse asked questions while checking on Lin Qingyu's condition.

Lin Qingyu looked pale and weak, and seemed to be in danger.

Gu Shi didn't put her down, but calmly said, "She has a fever and is shivering a little."

The nurse reached out and touched Lin Qingyu's forehead, which was frighteningly hot, so she took her to a doctor who was less busy.

They gave Gu Shi another thermometer and asked him to take Lin Qingyu's temperature.

Fortunately, there weren't many people, and it wasn't long before it was my turn.

"Where do you feel unwell? What's your fever?"

An elderly man wearing reading glasses glanced at the two of them and asked, holding a stethoscope.

Gu Shi helped Lin Qingyu sit down, and before Lin Qingyu could speak, he had already answered her questions.

“When I woke up this morning, I found that my wife had a fever. She was shivering a little. Her temperature was 40 degrees Celsius just now.”

The old man raised an eyebrow: "How did you catch a cold from being so high up?"

"She must have kicked off the covers last night. I asked her, and she said she had a headache, felt unwell all over, and now her throat is starting to hurt, but she doesn't have a runny or stuffy nose."

The doctor gestured for Gu Shi to lift her clothes so he could listen first.

Gu Shi felt a little awkward before obediently lifting the lid a tiny bit.

The old man clicked his tongue, and Gu Shicai reluctantly lifted it up again.

After listening to the condition of the lungs, and finding nothing seriously wrong, the old man prescribed medicine.

"Are you hospitalized? Her fever is quite high. Where does she live? Does she have a job? Or is she going to start IV fluids directly?"

Gu Shi shook his head directly, "No need to be hospitalized. My home is quite close to here, I can come anytime. My wife isn't an employee, doctor, please prescribe a few days' worth of medicine first!"

The old doctor didn't try to dissuade anyone; he simply wrote down several prescriptions in a flash.

"This is for food, we've got three days' worth for now. This is for IV fluids. If you want to check again tomorrow, we'll see."

Gu Shi thanked her and helped Lin Qingyu away.

Lin Qingyu didn't say a word the whole time, mainly because she was also feeling unwell and her voice was almost hoarse.

After Gu Shi paid the fee and handed the receipt to the pharmacy nurse, he waited there for her to give him the medicine.

Throughout the entire time, his gaze never left Lin Qingyu, even though Lin Qingyu was just sitting in the corridor.

"Give this to the nurse over there. Take this medicine home and decoct it. One dose is for one day. Boil three and a half bowls of water down to one and a half bowls and drink it in two doses."

The main prescriptions here are traditional Chinese medicine, and for other conditions, Western medicine intravenous infusions are used.

Gu Shi took the medicine and ran quickly to the nurses' station. After handing the medicine to the nurse there, he hurried over to be with Lin Qingyu.

It was quite cold in the hospital, and Lin Qingyu, wearing his military overcoat, looked a size smaller.

"Are you still cold? This is the only place we have. Hang in there for a bit, I'll find you something warm later."

Gu Shi fed Lin Qingyu some water, then glanced at the nurses' station and remembered that Lin Qingyu hadn't eaten anything, so he thought he'd buy her something to eat first.

"Xiaoyu'er, sit here first. I'll buy you some food and I'll be right back. It's too cold outside, so please sit here."

Seeing Lin Qingyu nod, Gu Shicai walked out of the hospital, turning back every few steps.

There's a breakfast stall right at the hospital entrance, so there's no shortage of light and healthy options here.

Gu Shi bought porridge and two vegetable buns, worried that Lin Qingyu might not be able to digest the meat she ate.

When he returned to the place where the two of them had been, he found that Lin Qingyu was gone!

The person who was just sitting here a moment ago has disappeared in the time it takes him to buy food?

Gu Shi was startled and almost spilled the porridge in his hand. He grabbed a passing nurse and said, "Hello, have you seen the girl who was sitting here just now? She was about to get an IV drip."

Perhaps it was Gu Shi's stern expression that startled the nurse, who thought he was causing trouble.

Then he said, "I think I just saw Nurse Wu Lili give her an IV drip, and she seems to have gone over there!"

The nurse pointed to a room with a sign that read "Duty Room".

After thanking him, Gu Shi went over and knocked on the door.

"Qingyu, are you inside?"
