Tang Miao broke up with her boyfriend of ten years. Her boyfriend had fallen in love at first sight with the daughter of the corporation he worked for. After learning he had a girlfriend, the young...
Tang Miao sat on the bed. There was no light in the room. She sat there in the darkness, feeling a little dazed. She could feel her head was dizzy and her body was heavy. At first she thought it was because she had overslept. After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao raised her hand and touched her forehead, only to find that it was indeed a little warm.
He Xiao was still standing outside the door. Tang Miao got up from the bed, turned on the light, and went to open the door of the dormitory. As soon as the door opened, Tang Miao looked up at He Xiao. When she looked over, He Xiao also looked down at her.
Her complexion was not bad, it was even very rosy, and there was a moisture in her eyes, but she was obviously hot, and when she opened the door, some of her heat came out, and her lips were a little dry.
Tang Miao opened the door and saw He Xiao standing at the door, and was about to say something. Before she could speak, He Xiao raised his hand and placed it on her forehead.
The man's palm was dry and warm, but still cooler than the temperature of her forehead. He touched her lightly, felt her temperature, and then took his hand away.
"Is there a thermometer?" He Xiao asked.
Tang Miao's consciousness is still on the warmth and touch of He Xiao's hand on her forehead. After he asked, she exclaimed "Ah", then reacted and nodded.
"Yes." Tang Miao said this and turned her head. She walked towards the dormitory window, where her desk was, and in the drawer of the desk were some of her supplies.
Thermometer was something she didn't use very often, so it was placed in the corner of the drawer. Tang Miao stood beside the table and rummaged through it before taking out the thermometer. After taking it out, she also took out the alcohol that was placed aside. She took out the thermometer and wiped it with alcohol, and Tang Miao clamped the thermometer under her armpit.
After doing all this, the two stayed in the dormitory, waiting for Tang Miao's temperature to come out.
Tang Miao stood there for a while, then pulled a chair and sat down. He Xiao had been standing at the door, and it was his first time coming to her room. She wanted to let him sit anywhere, but there was only one chair in the room, so he could only sit on her bed.
Thinking of this, Tang Miao didn't bother to be polite with He Xiao. She sat in a chair in a daze waiting for the temperature test to be completed. He Xiao calculated the time at the door, and when the time was up, he said "OK".
Tang Miao came back to his senses when he heard his voice and raised his hand to take out the thermometer.
"I do have a slight fever." Tang Miao looked at the reading on the thermometer under the light and said this.
After she finished speaking, He Xiao had already walked to her side and took the thermometer from her hand. After taking it, He Xiao took a look and saw that it was 37.5, which was not low.
After checking the temperature, He Xiao handed the thermometer to Tang Miao and asked, "Do you have any medicine?"
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao glanced at the open drawer and said, "Yes."
Tang Miao didn't have much experience living alone, but she was pretty good at taking care of herself. After coming here, in addition to daily necessities, she also kept some medicines on hand, mainly because she didn't want to trouble others.
Tang Miao looked at the medicine in the drawer, and He Xiao rummaged through it, taking out two boxes of antipyretic medicine and a bag of granules. After taking them out, He Xiao didn't say anything, letting Tang Miao take out the dosage she wanted, and then left her dormitory.
Not long after He Xiao left her dormitory, he brought back some hot water. He poured the water from the kettle into Tang Miao's cup, made her some instant medicine, and then asked her to take the medicine first.
While He Xiao was doing all this, Tang Miao didn't say a word. She just did whatever He Xiao said, like a doll. After taking the medicine and drinking water, Tang Miao's sleepiness completely faded away, and now only the heaviness brought by the fever remained.
But it's not a big problem.
She put down the cup, stood up from the chair, and was about to go out. He Xiao watched her stand up and asked her, "What are you doing?"
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao looked back at him. She seemed not to feel that her behavior was wrong at all and said to him, "Cook."
It was time to make dinner. It was so late now, and they would usually have finished eating by this time.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao looked at her without any action. The two stood there looking at each other for a while, and He Xiao put the kettle next to Tang Miao's desk. After putting it down, He Xiao said, "You go and have a rest."
After saying that, He Xiao left her room again.
He Xiao left again.
Unlike last time, he probably knew that he would be away for a longer time this time, so he even closed the door for her before leaving. The night wind was a little cold, and blowing on a person with a fever would aggravate the condition.
Tang Miao stood in the dormitory, looking at the closed door, listening to He Xiao's footsteps gradually fading away outside the dormitory. She was dazed for a while, then pulled out a chair and sat back at the desk.
-
Tang Miao seemed to know what He Xiao was going to do.
It can even be said that when He Xiao told her to go and rest, Tang Miao's chaotic mind had such an idea. After this idea came up, all the memories about this idea attacked her at once.
The fever did not cause her much physical pain, but it did erode her will and make her fragile. Tang Miao sat at the desk, looking at the distant moonlight through the gap in the curtains, and the mass in front of her chest had a clear tightening and suffocating feeling again.
She didn't wait long before He Xiao returned to her dormitory again. After arriving at her dormitory, He Xiao placed the dishes in his hand in front of her.
He Xiao just went to cook noodles for Tang Miao.
