Shen Qing was sick, not injured, and more than half of the reason was due to depression. Therefore, even with the presence of a healing power user, the effect was minimal, and the high fever was hard to subside. In the end, it was Qi Zhan, who worked in the hospital after all, who helped Song Kaiji to ask for help from others and begged for half a box of antipyretic medicine. He also set up a tent in the refugee camp and lay down for most of the day. Shen Qing's fever finally subsided, and the group returned to the base villa.
But the fever often recurred, and by the evening, Shen Qing's forehead felt hot again.
He was trapped in the soft duvet, and for the first time he felt that being sick could be so happy. In the past, when he was at Old Shen's house, he had to endure every illness, and his family would not give him medicine. He would also be scolded by Old Shen's mother, who blamed him for being "delicate" and delaying his work.
Now that they were back at the Hongcheng base, Mother Tang prepared various hospital meals for him, and Song Kaiji was always by his side serving him tea and water. Even Qi Zhan was detained by Song Kaiji and was not allowed to go to work in the hospital. He was solely responsible for taking care of Shen Qing.
"I've already said that he's sick, and my ability is not very useful." Qi Zhan was speechless. But speaking of it, he also felt a little strange. Although the healing ability is indeed less effective in curing diseases than in curing injuries, it is really too little effective on Shen Qing. But for the sake of money, Qi Zhan still used his ability to pass Shen Qing twice more.
It's useless.
Qi Zhan looked at his hands and then at Shen Qing.
"This won't work. I'll go get some more medicine." This half plate of medicine is three pills at a time, and it can only be taken until tomorrow morning at most. Song Kaiji changed the towel for Shen Qing and put it on his forehead, asked Yu Le to take good care of Shen Qing, and hurried out in the night.
Shen Qing felt uncomfortable all over, but he had slept for two days and it was hard to fall asleep, so he pulled himself together to chat with Qi Zhan and Yu Le. There was nothing much to say to Yu Le. The girl was always hesitant, afraid that Shen Qing would think she was untrustworthy and stayed in their team, and kick her out. Shen Qing comforted her a few words, but was afraid to touch her sad story, so the conversation soon fell silent. He turned around and chatted with Qi Zhan: "You and Brother Song came out to pick me up today. You came quickly. Are you staying with us again tonight?"
"Yeah, I worked overtime until around four o'clock last night and rescued two people whose arms were torn off by mutant wolves. I was so tired that I was dragged out of bed by your Old Song before I even woke up." Qi Zhan said as he tried again to transfer supernatural powers into Shen Qing's body, but the effect was still minimal.
How strange.
Qi Zhan glanced at Shen Qing. If he wasn't the boss who paid for it, he would have wanted to cut a hole in Shen Qing's hand to see if the healing ability had any effect on him and how much effect it had.
Shen Qing finally brought up some interesting things, "What's going on between you and Xiao Tang? Would you...consider joining our team? Our team's treatment is pretty good, but when we need to go out on a mission, you have to go with us."
Qi Zhan was still frowning and thinking about super powers. He was stunned when he heard this: "You really think..." He frowned and thought for a while, then his brows relaxed and he smiled: "We... that's it. Don't consider it, not at all. I'm doing well in the hospital now. I don't have to worry too much, it's not dangerous, and I get a lot of money. If you plan to go on a mission, you can find me, but you have to pay more."
"Don't you like Xiao Tang?" Shen Qing was a little puzzled: "Xiao Tang is in our team, don't you want to be with him?"
Who doesn’t like to listen to gossip? Yu Le had been keeping his head down, but now he pricked up his ears.
"Oh, what era is this? Why are you still talking about the husband singing and the wife following each other?" Qi Zhan laughed, "Even before the end of the world, office romances were not encouraged. You know, distance creates beauty? We are together every day. I see him at work and I see him after get off work. There is no private space at all, which can easily cause conflicts and affect the relationship. I think it's good now."
Qi Zhan secretly took the half apple that Song Kaiji had peeled for Shen Qing and took a bite: "Besides, I just like him. Can I sell myself to your team just because I'm in a relationship?" When it comes to "liking him", Qi Zhan seems a little awkward: "Can't liking him be pure? I just like him as a person. It doesn't matter what job he does, and it doesn't matter if his mom doesn't like me."
In fact, he and Tang Wenjie were not in the relationship that everyone thought. But the reason was hard to explain, and he was indeed a little interested in Tang Wenjie, so he chatted with Shen Qingduo for a while.
Shen Qing was surprised: "Being together every day will affect the relationship? It doesn't matter if his mother doesn't like you?" In Shen Qing's opinion, this is the most important thing! After all, they are all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Even if Shen Qing is considered to be ahead of the times in Lantang Village, he has been influenced by the end of the world and found a man for himself. But after he decided to be with Song Kaiji, the first thing he did was to tell Miao and arrange a meeting between Song Kaiji and Miao, hoping that Song Kaiji would be recognized by Miao.
Shen Qing had seen how Tang's mother looked at Qi Zhan before, and she couldn't stand being in a different place.
He also hoped that Song Kaiji could go to Lantang Village to be with him every day and see him day and night. How could it not be important!
But Qi Zhan didn't care: "I'm just in a relationship, not getting married to him. Marriage is a matter of two families. I have to consider whether his mother approves of me or likes me, because it will affect the harmony of the family relationship after marriage. But dating is a matter between the two of us. He likes me, I like him, and it's enough to be happy. Why consider so much. Whether his mother likes me or not, I still don't like her."
Shen Qing: "..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Qi Zhan's theory was too advanced for him. Isn't the purpose of dating to get married? He fell in love with Song Kaiji and wanted to marry him. In the TV dramas he watched, the protagonists loved each other to death and got married in the end.
How come there are still people in this world who only date but don't get married? This, this...
Shen Qing didn’t know the saying “Dating without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism”, he was just quite shocked!
However, Qi Zhan's words made him think, which boosted his spirits and reduced his sleepiness and drowsiness.
Song Kaiji didn't come back until late at night. He went to the flea market and the black market. It was too late and many people had closed their stalls. After asking around for a long time and finding someone's home, he finally exchanged a whole box of medicine.
Seeing him coming back, Qi Zhan and Yu Le left tactfully, giving the young couple some private space. Qi Zhan came out of Shen Qing's room and turned to go to Tang Wenjie's room to catch up on some sleep, but found that Tang Wenjie was not in the room.
Looking around, Tang's mother was talking to Tang Wenjie at the corner of the stairs on the first floor. Qi Zhan yawned, sat down against the handrail, and began to eavesdrop in a very uncivilized manner.
"Mom, he and I really don't have that kind of relationship..." Tang Wenjie knew that his words were not convincing, and he also felt that his words were effective. In a few days, it might be hard to say... Tang Wenjie used to think that he was a straight man, but now he thinks, what's wrong with men? Isn't the third brother and the boss living a good life?
But now, looking at Tang's mother's dark face, Tang Wenjie could only bite the bullet and explain: "When my superpowers awakened, he helped me sort them out. Because of that sorting, my superpowers are different from other gold-type superpowers and are much stronger than others. I don't know if all healing superpowers have this effect, but now that he helps me sort them out, my superpowers are still growing rapidly."
Mother Tang's expression did not ease after hearing this: "Does it take a long time to sleep in the same room every day to comb your abilities? He is a healing ability user, and his fees are not cheap. When you awakened, Boss Xiao Shen paid a large sum of crystal cores. Why should he comb your abilities for free now?"
Tang Wenjie hesitated and couldn't answer. Their "method" of sorting out superpowers was indeed a little unusual... He couldn't accept it at first, but he was too eager to become stronger. The third child found his mother, but his father died on the way. If he got news about his father one day, he didn't want to have the same ending.
"Just do whatever you want with him!" Tang's mother said with disapproval: "How can Xiao Qi compare with Boss Xiao Shen and Xiao Song? They both look like they are focused on their lives, but what about Xiao Qi? I think he is just fooling around with you! If you can really find someone like Boss Xiao Shen or Xiao Song, who is down-to-earth and wholeheartedly willing to live with you, I will accept him as a boy!"
Tang Wenjie still kept his head down and said nothing.
Qi Zhan leaned against the railing, thinking of what he had just said to Shen Qinggang, and touched his nose guiltily.
But he has always been so free. Tang Wenjie is very good, tall and handsome, with solid muscles on his body. He is not a sports student but is better than a sports student. The touch... Qi Zhan wiped his saliva, otherwise he couldn't sleep in Tang Wenjie's room every day.
Living a down-to-earth life seemed to have never appeared in his dictionary.
Qi Zhan sighed. He still insisted on being himself and not wavering. He just continued to dislike Tang's mother.
Song Kaiji was cold, and even his hair looked like it was covered with dew. Shen Qing felt a little distressed: "My illness only looked serious at the beginning, but now it's much better. I feel that if I drink more spiritual spring water, I will be almost cured."
"It's better now. Don't suffer any more." Song Kaiji patted himself at the door for a while to get rid of the coldness, then came to Shen Qing and touched his forehead with Shen Qing.
I don't know if it's because he just came back from outside and his forehead is too cold. When he touched Shen Qing's forehead, it was particularly hot. "Actually, I know that your illness probably comes from your heart. If you don't take medicine and rely on yourself to tough it out, I don't know how long it will take."
Shen Qing lowered his eyes.
"It doesn't have to be like this." During the two days when Shen Qing was in a coma in Lantang Village, Song Kaiji also thought a lot. He was of course very sad and disappointed at first, but he let it go after thinking it through: "When I first fell in love with you and wanted to be with you, I didn't know that you were not from this world, and I didn't know there was another paradise without zombies. I love you, and I love you alone."
His voice seemed to overlap with Qi Zhan's voice just now: Why can't we have a pure love affair, just talk about love, just love this person?
"So if I can go there, I love you. If I can't go there, I still love you, not a bit less than when I can go. Isn't that enough?" He leaned forward and gently kissed Shen Qing's forehead, eyelashes, and lips: "Will your love for me change just because I can't go there?" Song Kaiji raised his eyes, looking at Shen Qing with aggrieved and wet eyes: "Will you despise me for not being able to live with you and find another man to marry over there?"
"...No." Shen Qing knew the answer without thinking.
"That's it." Song Kaiji tucked the quilt for Shen Qing: "It's a pity that I can't go there, but I'm already very satisfied that you can accept me and respond to my love." Speaking of it, it was the secret of the cave that raised his expectations, which is why he is disappointed and lost now. In fact, how many people in this world can truly love each other? How many people are just blind dates, living together because of similar conditions.
Those who can find a partner they truly love are already a lucky minority.
Shen Qing's eyes were hot again, and something wet slid into his temples and ears, and was kissed away bit by bit by Song Kaiji. He put his arm around Song Kaiji's broad shoulders and nodded gently.
He has done his best. As for the rest, he will take it one step at a time and talk about it later.
