fever

Seeing this, Xu Feifei quickly patted her and said, "Lin Yuan, wake up, you seem to have a fever."

Lin Yuan groggily opened her eyes halfway and mumbled an "hmm." She turned over, closed her eyes again, and went back to sleep.

Xu Feifei became even more certain of her thoughts and quickly called out, "Lin Yuan, wake up. Let's go to bed."

Lin Yuan just grunted an "Mmm" and then fell silent.

Xu Feifei forcefully pulled Lin Yuan up, trying to drag her back to bed.

In her sleep, Lin Yuan felt someone pulling her. She forced her eyes open and saw Xu Feifei struggling to hold her arms, vaguely hearing, "Let's go back to bed, let's sleep in bed..."

Lin Yuan felt feverish all over, her head was dizzy, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Xu Feifei was still gently persuading her to go back to bed. Lin Yuan forced herself to sit up straight, put on her shoes, and went back to bed. Xu Feifei carefully supported her, afraid that she might suddenly fall.

The room hadn't had the air conditioning on, so it was stuffy and hot inside.

After helping Lin Yuan back to bed, Xu Feifei covered her with a light blanket and then went to open the window of the room.

This time, she dared not turn on the air conditioner and open the window at the same time. Lin Yuan was sick now, and the sudden change in temperature might worsen her condition.

Xu Feifei walked to the bedside and asked, "Lin Yuan, should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"No, I won't go to the hospital. I'll take a nap, and I'll be fine after a nap," Lin Yuan murmured.

Xu Feifei asked, "Do you have a thermometer and fever reducer here? Let's take your temperature first."

Lin Yuan fell asleep again without saying a word.

Xu Feifei suddenly remembered that Aunt Wang seemed to have kept a first-aid kit in her dormitory, so she rushed back to her dormitory to find it.

Lin Yuan was lying alone on the bed in the room. She was feeling unwell because of a fever, her nose was stuffy, and her lips were slightly parted.

Xu Feifei pushed open her bedroom door and went straight to the cabinet. After searching for a while, she still couldn't find the first-aid kit. Just as she was getting anxious about whether to call Aunt Wang, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the table next to the sofa and noticed that the first-aid kit was placed on the table.

I felt a bit foolish, but I didn't have time to think too much about it. I grabbed the first-aid kit and rushed back to Lin Yuan's room.

The first-aid kit was placed on the ground and opened; it contained many items: bandages, gauze, iodine, cold medicine, fever medicine...

Xu Feifei took out all the fever medicine and laid them out in front of her.

She took out the thermometer, and following the instructions, wiped the surface with an alcohol swab, then shook it vigorously until her hand ached, until the mercury strip finally went down.

Xu Feifei rubbed her sore wrists and complained inwardly, "Why isn't there a thermometer in the first-aid kit for such a rich second female lead?"

Xu Feifei called Lin Yuan to get up and take her temperature, but Lin Yuan still didn't respond. So she unbuttoned the first button of Lin Yuan's clothes, and was just about to unbutton the second button...

Lin Yuan suddenly grabbed Xu Feifei's hands, which were unbuttoning her clothes, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Take my temperature!" Xu Feifei quickly handed over the thermometer to show that she meant no harm.

Upon seeing the thermometer, Lin Yuan's earlier grip on the person weakened, and she weakly grasped her hand. She took the thermometer and said, "I can do it myself. Don't look at me!"

Xu Feifei listened and asked with some doubt, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing this, Xu Feifei sat back down on the ground, relieved. She looked at the instructions for the fever reducer on the ground, noting what kind of fever it was used to treat.

When Lin Yuan saw that Xu Feifei was no longer looking in her direction, she slowly unbuttoned the second button, put the thermometer in her armpit, pulled the blanket over her, and looked down at Xu Feifei.

After some time, Xu Feifei finally selected a fever reducer that had few side effects and that she thought was suitable for Lin Yuan.

Xu Feifei tiptoed out of the room, went to the living room to pour a glass of warm water, carefully carried it back to the room and placed it on the bedside table, then asked Lin Yuan to give her the thermometer.

Lin Yuan opened her eyes, fumbled around under the covers for a while, and slowly took out the thermometer.

Xu Feifei took the thermometer, pinched the end, aimed it at the window, and gently rotated it. She saw the mercury strip read 38.9℃.

This temperature feels alright; it's a moderate high fever, not a severe one. Otherwise, she would have insisted that Lin Yuan go to the hospital no matter what.

Xu Feifei wiped the thermometer with an alcohol swab to disinfect it and put the mercury back into its original box.

A moment later, she squatted down beside Lin Yuan with fever reducer and warm water, saying, "Lin Yuan, your temperature is 38.9℃. Get up first, take some fever reducer, and then go back to sleep!"

"Come on, get up and take your medicine!"

Lin Yuan slowly propped herself up, took the fever reducer and warm water, swallowed the fever reducer with a slight frown, drank a few sips of water, and placed the water cup on the cabinet.

After seeing that she had taken the medicine, Xu Feifei tore open the fever-reducing patch and said, "Give me another fever-reducing patch."

Lin Yuan tried to sit up, but Xu Feifei stopped her. "Don't move, I'll help you apply it."

Lin Yuan stayed obediently in bed, enjoying Xu Feifei's services.

Xu Feifei gently brushed aside Lin Yuan's bangs, revealing her smooth, fair forehead, and then gently placed the fever-reducing patch on her forehead.

The process of applying the patch wasn't smooth, and the fever reducer patch was a little crooked. Xu Feifei carefully peeled it off and then carefully put it back on. At the end, fearing it wouldn't stick properly, she pressed harder on Lin Yuan's forehead.

Lin Yuan grasped her hand and said with a weak laugh, "Stick it on tightly!"

Xu Feifei smiled brightly and said, "It's good that it's stable. This fever-reducing patch will last for 2-4 hours. I'll change it for you in a bit."

"No need, you go back and rest! I can manage on my own!" Lin Yuan shook her head weakly.

“How can that be! I read in a novel that it says you need 24-hour personal care and meticulous attention until you get better,” Xu Feifei said righteously.

Lin Yuan looked at her gently with moist eyes due to her illness. After a long while, she slowly smiled and said, "I'm not that serious. It's just that I have a high fever that I need this kind of care."

“But you also have a high fever, so I’m not wrong to take care of you like this,” Xu Feifei retorted.

"I know my own body best. Go back to sleep!" Lin Yuan continued to persuade her.

Seeing that she was being persuaded, Xu Feifei had no choice but to give up on the idea of ​​the meticulous care described in novels. She said dejectedly, "Alright then! But I'll go back after I change your fever-reducing patch!"

"You can't refuse me, or I won't leave!" Xu Feifei said firmly.

Looking at her earnest eyes, Lin Yuan smiled indulgently and helplessly, "By the time we get new fever-reducing patches, it will definitely be very late."

"It's only a little past seven now, and they change it every three hours. When they change it to a new one, it's not late. Besides, tomorrow is Saturday, so there's no school."

"Besides, I can stay up all night without any problem! You should go to sleep!" After saying that, Xu Feifei covered Lin Yuan's eyes with her hand and forced her to fall asleep.

After a while, Xu Feifei quietly lifted her hand and found that Lin Yuan had closed her eyes and was fast asleep.

The flush on her face hadn't faded, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, except for her lips being a little pale. If you didn't know she had a fever, you would have thought she was in good spirits.

Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan's face; she was a natural beauty. She was very different from usual. During the day, Lin Yuan had an icy, aloof air. Now, she was gentle, like a sleeping beauty.

Looking down, Lin Yuan's neck was slender and fair, her skin as delicate as snow—a perfect swan neck! Absolutely beautiful!

However, she seems to have a small Adam's apple on her neck, but it doesn't detract from her beauty; it adds a unique charm!

Xu Feifei's hands were itching to touch it, but she was afraid of waking Lin Yuan if she did, so she refrained from doing so. She then tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

She opened the game outside the living room and went to play. She was having really good luck today, winning several rounds in a row, and was happy. After finishing the game, she checked the time and realized it was already past nine o'clock.

Xu Feifei put down her hand and went into the room to check on Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was still sleeping, but the blanket on her body had been kicked off.

Lin Yuan was still fast asleep, the blush on her cheeks had faded a little. There were some beads of sweat on her face, and her hair at her temples was wet, sticking tightly to her face. The first button of her clothes was undone, and the collar was loose.

The hem of her shirt was lifted up, slightly revealing her white belly.

Seeing this, Xu Feifei quickly pulled down the clothes covering her stomach. She wiped the sweat from her face with a tissue, and since the fever-reducing patch on her forehead was also a little damp, she replaced it with a new one.

After doing all that, she covered Lin Yuan with the blanket again. Although she knew Lin Yuan was very hot, the elders often said that when you have a fever, a good sweat will make you feel better soon.

Xu Feifei noticed that the water glass on the bedside table was empty, and knew that Lin Yuan had already woken up once. So she went out and filled another glass with warm water, placing it on the bedside table.

This time, she didn't stay in the living room. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed, silently scrolling through her phone.

When Lin Yuan woke up, the room was pitch black. Something was pressing down on her feet, making it hard to move. She was covered in sweat, and her throat was dry and sore.

Lin Yuan propped herself up, and the thing on her feet moved slightly.

"Feifei?!" Lin Yuan called out hoarsely.

Lin Yuan pressed the light switch next to her. The moment the light came on, she felt a bit blinded and squinted. Turning her head, she saw the glass of water on the bedside table. By the time she picked it up, the water had gone cold.

After drinking that glass of water, my throat felt much better. I checked my phone and it was already past 1 a.m.

"Feifei, wake up!"
