Chapter 22: Rave Reviews

Jiang Ningyue closed her eyes again. After an unknown amount of time, Gu Meng came back. In addition to the thermometer, she also bought a series of things including white wine, bowls, small pots, brown sugar, ginger, etc.

After putting the things away, Gu Meng first placed the thermometer for Jiang Ningyue, then began to clean the pot and boil the brown sugar and ginger water. Turning the pot to the lowest heat, Gu Meng came to the bed with the white wine bottle and bowl.

Pouring the white wine into the bowl, Gu Meng dipped a little of it on his hand and began to wipe Jiang Ningyue's forehead, neck and hands.

This is a physical cooling method that uses the principle of alcohol absorbing heat to quickly reduce fever. When Gu Meng had a fever, her mother would use white wine to reduce her fever.

Jiang Ningyue's palms were very hot. Gu Meng wiped them several times but it was no use, so he started wiping Jiang Ningyue's arms.

Gu Meng tried to take off Jiang Ningyue's shirt, but Jiang Ningyue was not very cooperative. Gu Meng sighed and reached in to untie Jiang Ningyue's restraints. Then he took off Jiang Ningyue's shorts and began to wipe Jiang Ningyue's thighs with alcohol to cool her down.

After 20 minutes of struggling, Gu Meng was sweating profusely. Although Jiang Ningyue was very light, she still weighed nearly 100 pounds, so it was still very strenuous for Gu Meng to manipulate her by himself.

Gu Meng didn't have time to rest, and hurried to the kitchen to bring out the brown sugar ginger water. At this time, the brown sugar ginger water was still steaming, Gu Meng placed it by the window and blew on it for a while, and when she felt it was almost done, she ran back to the bedroom.

"Xiaoyue, get up."

Jiang Ningyue opened her eyes drowsily. In fact, she had woken up once or twice when Gu Meng was rubbing alcohol on her, but the pain in her body did subside a lot after rubbing alcohol, so Jiang Ningyue didn't care.

Hearing Gu Meng calling her, Jiang Ningyue opened her eyes again. Gu Meng sat beside Jiang Ningyue, helped her up, leaned against the head of the bed, and then took the small bowl,

"Here. Drink it while it's hot."

Jiang Ningyue smelled the pungent smell of shredded ginger and brown sugar and couldn't help but frowned, "What is this?"

"Ginger and brown sugar water."

Gu Meng persuaded gently, "Drink it quickly, sweat it out, and get some sleep, and your cold will be gone."

“Hmm…”

Jiang Ningyue nodded, opened her mouth and reluctantly took a sip. The scalding brown sugar water made her tongue numb. She raised her head and looked at Gu Meng pitifully, "It's hot."

Gu Meng took a sip. Although it was hot, it was still within her tolerance range. She blew on it and then said like coaxing a child, "It has to be a little hot so that you can sweat! Be good, drink it quickly."

"Hmm."

Jiang Ningyue prepared herself mentally and drank the entire bowl of ginger and brown sugar water with her eyes closed.

“That’s great.”

Gu Meng smiled, laid Jiang Ningyue flat, tucked her in, took out the thermometer from the box, and clipped it to Jiang Ningyue.

"Take your temperature first before you go to sleep."

"Um."

Jiang Ningyue did feel much better. At least the temperature in her head had dropped and she was a little clearer. "I have a cold, and you still come to take care of me. What if I infect you?"

"Then let's catch a cold together."

Gu Meng smiled and took out a towel to wipe the sweat off Jiang Ningyue's forehead, "Or you can take care of me when you get better."

"Um."

Jiang Ningyue smiled, and then she suddenly felt her body lighten. She reached out and touched it, looking surprised. "Where are my pants and that thing?"

"I took it off."

Gu Meng opened a can of cold cola and took a sip, "Otherwise, how can I wipe you with alcohol?"

"All right."

Jiang Ningyue nodded.

Gu Meng took out the thermometer and took a look. "37°C. Although it's still a bit of a fever, it's much better now. You should get some sleep first. I'll be in the living room. Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Thank you, Mengmeng."

"You're still being polite to me."

Gu Meng smiled, pinched Jiang Ningyue's nose, turned around and walked out.

Jiang Ningyue closed her eyes and fell into sleep again in a daze.

After Jiang Ningyue fell asleep, Gu Meng walked back to the room and sat beside the bed, looking at Jiang Ningyue's sleeping face. Although the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, she still knew Jiang Ningyue's face very well.

Although Gu Meng was certain that the girl in front of him was Jiang Ningyue, the Jiang Ningyue in his memory was not as pretty even without her glasses.

Gu Meng is also a person in the entertainment industry, which is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Even so, Jiang Ningyue's appearance is the most beautiful among all the people Gu Meng has ever seen.

…

When Jiang Ningyue opened her eyes again, it was already dark. She looked out the window. It was pitch black outside and the sound of rain could be heard in her ears. Jiang Ningyue fumbled to pick up her cell phone, opened it and took a look. It was not particularly late, not even 5 o'clock in the evening.

She sat up, feeling a little stronger.

"Shit, where are my pants?"

After searching around, Jiang Ningyue found the pants folded on the bed. She put on the pants, got off the bed and went to the living room.

Jiang Ningyue's living room was empty, with only two chairs and a table.

Gu Meng had already left, and there was no trace of her anywhere.

Jiang Ningyue felt a little regretful. It wasn't that Gu Meng owed her anything and had to stay with her, but Jiang Ningyue suddenly felt a little lonely in this empty house.

Sitting on the chair, I opened my phone and found the WeChat message from Nian Sisi.

"Xiaoyue, you should have a good rest. I've already asked for leave. You can rest for a few days and come back to work after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jiang Ningyue: [Thank you, Master. (Giving a heart)]

Nian Sisi called quickly, expressed some concern, and then said, "By the way, Xiaoyue, yesterday's live broadcast attracted quite a bit of attention, so the editorial committee wants you to register a Weibo and Douyin account, and then the station will verify your account."

"Yes, Master."

Yesterday's video went viral?

Although the previous news stories were also very popular, and the drunk driving video has now exceeded 1.5 million likes, it is the jokes that are popular in this kind of situation, not Jiang Ningyue herself.

This time, Jiang Ningyue became famous because of her own strength.

In other words, it is because of his super high looks that he became famous.

Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue opened her Moments and TikTok.

Last night, the news about "Haizhou Heavy Rain" was already trending, and Jiang Ningyue's live broadcast appearance was also on the trending search list. This time, Jiang Ningyue really attracted the attention of the entire network.

It’s a pity that Jiang Ningyue can’t sell goods, otherwise, just by live streaming, she might be able to make a fortune.

[It felt like the reporter was about to be blown away.]

She is really too thin.

[The wind and rain were so strong, but it didn't even pose a threat to her beauty? ]

[I imagine I would look like this in the rain. (bitter smile)]

[Who has this girl's TikTok account/Weibo? ]

You can search for "Jiang Ningyue's True Love Fans" on Bilibili, where you'll find all of Jiang Ningyue's news clips.

[Jiang Ningyue, you're really famous now. You must be mindful of your words and actions. Don't let people think you're such a bad girl. You don't know how many eyes are watching you, watching you make mistakes. I know you're a very genuine child, and I hope you can maintain this straightforwardness. But you must also be strict with yourself, be careful with your words and actions, and set an example for your idol. Only then can you go further.]

Jiang Ningyue was stunned. What the hell? I've only been working for a month and already have a real fan?

After opening Bilibili and searching for the name, Jiang Ningyue was surprised to find that the UP host had actually posted several news items, and these news items were all edited with himself appearing in them.

Oh my god, it’s amazing.

Among them, the latest one has been played more than 500,000 times on Bilibili!
