Chapter 30 Why is she afraid of so many things?

Xu Jialan slept until almost afternoon before he slowly woke up.

Maybe it was because she stayed up late or caught a cold, she actually felt a headache.

She raised her hand and rubbed her painful temples.

Suddenly, she stopped moving.

Xu Jialan suddenly opened her eyes and the bedroom ceiling came into her sight.

She was stunned for a few seconds, and her brain froze for a moment.

If I remember correctly, she accidentally fell asleep in the living room last night.

But now, she was in the bedroom?

Was I so sleepy last night that I forgot to go back to my bedroom and sleep?

Xu Jialan felt dizzy and didn't think too much about it. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

But I found no slippers by the bed.

She moved her toes, not caring, and walked out barefoot, opening the bedroom door.

But unexpectedly, I heard some noise outside the living room.

Xu Jialan paused, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he walked out quickly.

She looked towards the living room and saw a tall man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to the living room, holding a Coke can in his fingers, as if he was on the phone.

Perhaps hearing the noise, Shen Xichuan turned his head.

Seeing him come back, Xu Jialan's heart, which had been hanging in the air for several days, finally settled down.

The man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Lanlan, put on your slippers."

Hearing this, Xu Jialan quickly came to his senses.

She looked down at her bare feet and saw that her slippers were next to the sofa.

Seeing this, she hurried over and put on her slippers.

At this time, Xu Jialan realized belatedly that she slept in the bedroom last night, but why were the slippers in the living room?

Shen Xichuan glanced at her, then said to the person on the other end of the phone, “Well, I see, I’ll get back to you later.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Shen Xichuan came over and saw that she had been in a daze, and chuckled, "What? You haven't seen me for a few days, and you don't recognize me?"

Xu Jialan came back to his senses and shook his head, "No."

How could she not recognize him?

Shen Xichuan raised his hand and finished drinking the Coke in the can, then threw it casually and accurately into the trash can not far away.

He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Jialan in front of him, "Are you busy lately?"

Xu Jialan thought for a moment and said, "Not bad."

Shen Xichuan nodded and repeated, “It’s okay, if it’s okay, then you would be so busy that you fell asleep in the living room?”

Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "How do you know..."

Before she could finish her words, she realized what was happening.

It turns out that she really slept in the living room last night.

So, he was the one who...carried her back to the bedroom?

"Last night, it was you..."

Shen Xichuan raised his hand, and the back of his hand gently fell on her forehead, pausing for a few seconds.

His brows furrowed a little, "You have a fever."

Xu Jialan was slightly startled and raised his hand to touch his forehead.

Shen Xichuan’s hand hasn’t been retracted yet.

As a result, their hands accidentally touched each other.

Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and did not move.

Xu Jialan's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back.

It widened the distance between the two of them.

She touched her forehead and found her hands were cold and she couldn't feel anything.

"Is there...is there? I don't think so."

The man casually withdrew his hand and looked at her, "Your hands are too cold."

Xu Jialan covered his hands reflexively, as if they were a little cold.

She lowered her head and murmured, "It seems so."

Shen Xichuan laughed angrily at her appearance of being scared to run away when she saw him approaching.

Does he look so scary?

But he still tried to slow down his tone and said, "Well, do you have a thermometer at home?"

"have."

"Where?"

Xu Jialan pointed to the cabinet under the TV and said, "It's in the cabinet. Let me go..."

Take it.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xichuan spoke, “Go back to the bedroom and lie down.”

Xu Jialan stopped in his tracks abruptly, "?"

"I'll go get the thermometer, you go back and lie down first." Shen Xichuan did not allow any objection.

Seeing this, Xu Jialan said "oh" softly, turned around and went back to the bedroom to lie down obediently.

Shen Xichuan walked to the cabinet, dug out a medicine box, and found the thermometer.

He walked into the bedroom and looked at Xu Jialan who was lying obediently on the bed, his brows softened a little.

"Take your temperature first, then I'll take you to the hospital."

Xu Jialan opened his mouth.

Before she could say anything, she heard a beep.

The man frowned slightly as he looked at the numbers on the thermometer.

“How…how many degrees?”

Seeing his expression, Xu Jialan had a bad feeling.

Shen Xichuan glanced at her and sighed, “Thirty-eight degrees seven, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

If only he had come back last night.

She no longer had to sleep in the living room all night and catch a cold.

Hearing this, Xu Jialan's face wrinkled, "Do I have to go?"

Shen Xichuan paused, looked back at her, and said nothing.

Xu Jialan coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I can take some fever-reducing medicine first, so I don't have to go to the hospital and cause trouble."

After hearing her words, Shen Xichuan squinted his eyes and looked at her.

I don’t know if it’s because of the fever, but there’s a noticeable blush on the tips of Xu Jialan’s ears.

She lowered her head and avoided the man's gaze.

After a while, Shen Xichuan’s voice mixed with laughter rang out in the bedroom.

"Professor Xu, you're not afraid of injections, are you?"

Xu Jialan: “…No.”

The man raised an eyebrow, "Then why don't you dare go to the hospital?"

Xu Jialan: "..."

How come she hadn't realized he was so bad before?

"I don't want to go, is that okay?" She tried to struggle.

Shen Xichuan held the thermometer with a faint smile on his face.

"Don't you want to go?"

Xu Jialan looked up at him and blinked, "Is it okay?"

The man also looked at her.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds.

Shen Xichuan chuckled and said, “No.”

The expectation on Xu Jialan's face disappeared instantly.

Shen Xichuan found it a little funny.

Why is she afraid of so many things?

"You will feel uncomfortable if you don't get the injection," he said.

Xu Jialan paused and muttered softly, "The injection will be more uncomfortable."

Shen Xichuan was silent.

He doesn't know how to please girls.

"Then what makes you willing to get the injection?" he asked patiently and gently.

Xu Jialan tried to struggle again and looked at him pitifully, "Then why are you willing to not let me get the injection?"

Shen Xichuan: “?”

Xu Jialan blinked.

Seeing her expression like this, Shen Xichuan couldn’t help but feel soft in his heart.

But when he saw her pale face and the lack of blood on her lips.

He squeezed the thermometer in his hand and said, "Do you want to walk to the hospital by yourself, or do you want me to carry you there, huh?"

Xu Jialan: “?”
