Chapter 279 Fever
"You care about me?"
These words threw Wei Qianqian into a panic.
She wasn't sure, but seeing him injured made her feel quite sad, and a nameless worry and fear washed over her.
"I am a doctor, it is my duty to care for patients."
"Mm." Lu Min smiled.
Wei Qianqian wiped the wound on his abdomen, using a large cotton swab dipped in iodine to clean it repeatedly.
"Does it hurt?" She gently blew on it.
"It hurts," he said hoarsely.
He was resting with his eyes closed, probably because he was too tired.
Wei Qianqian sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him without any politeness.
Lu Min has a face that suggests peace and prosperity, and he is quite handsome. Grandpa Wei said that judging from his appearance, Lu Min is a good man and will definitely cherish his wife in the future.
Grandpa Wei has always been very good at judging people, and he has even brought many people together. Wei Qianqian doesn't believe in it; she can't quite grasp metaphysics and is always half-believing and half-doubting.
When Grandpa Wei tried to matchmake Wei Qianqian and Lu Min, Wei Qianqian was somewhat resistant. However, she had never been in a relationship and had only focused on one thing since childhood: studying medicine.
She thought that since she was going to get married anyway, it would be better to marry someone her family would approve of and someone they knew well than to just marry anyone.
Wei Qianqian stared at him, mesmerized.
Aside from his bad temper, Lu Min is actually a pretty good person.
Lu Min was half asleep and half awake.
She composed herself, picked up the gauze, and carefully bandaged him up.
When her fingertips lightly touched his skin, they were burned by the heat, and Wei Qianqian could feel the twitching of his muscles.
"Relax, or the wound will reopen," Wei Qianqian gently reminded her.
“…” Lu Min swallowed, but did not fall into a deep sleep.
After bandaging her wound, Wei Qianqian approached him, reached out and touched his forehead, and was immediately grabbed by his wrist.
"pain!"
Wei Qianqian was startled by his sudden movement. A sharp pain shot through her wrist, as if he had crushed her bones. She was in so much pain that she almost collapsed onto him. The two were so close that their breaths mingled.
Wei Qianqian instinctively placed her other hand on his chest, trying to keep herself from getting too close to him.
His whole body was burning hot, and he felt an abnormal sensation in his palms.
"What are you doing?" Lu Min's eyes darkened, and his hot breath brushed against her face, burning hot.
"You seem to have a fever..."
Wei Qianqian carefully withdrew her hand, stepped back, and gently rubbed her wrist.
His strength was truly immense.
"I'm sorry." Lu Min's mind was a complete blank.
Wei Qianqian picked up a T-shirt from the side and handed it to him, "Put it on."
Lu Min lay on the bed and put on a T-shirt. He didn't dare to look at Wei Qianqian. After getting dressed, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Wei Qianqian gently pulled his clothes to cover his wounds, then picked up a thermometer and put it on him.
"I'll go get you some fever reducer."
Wei Qianqian walked out of the room, holding the small packet of fever reducers in her hand, and stood in the kitchen in a daze for a while.
When she came back in, she was holding a cup of prepared fever-reducing medicine.
She dared not touch Lu Min casually, fearing that he would have some kind of stress reaction like before, so she called out to him softly.
"Lu Min." Lu Min didn't respond, so Wei Qianqian called again, "Lu Min..."
Lu Min slowly opened his eyes.
Wei Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and took the thermometer out from under his armpit; it read 38.8°C.
It seems he wasn't faking it.
"Should I get up and drink some fever-reducing medicine?" she asked.
Their eyes met, and Wei Qianqian then realized that Lu Min had been gazing at her with affection.
Tenderly affectionate...
His eyes seemed to hold that kind of tenderness, a rare sight that Wei Qianqian saw in them.
"Hmm." Lu Min propped himself up with his hands and struggled to his feet.
Wei Qianqian was unsure whether she should help, so she absentmindedly pulled the corner of the blanket over him, only to discover the high curve of his bulge.
"..." Wei Qianqian turned her face away as if she hadn't seen it.
But her face turned bright red.
Lu Min drank the fever-reducing medicine and then lay down.
Wei Qianqian turned off the light for him and hurriedly left the room.
She left the door open, afraid that he might develop a fever in the middle of the night and she might have to come over to take his temperature later.
Lu Min wanted her to stop making a fuss, but she turned off the lights and left, not giving him a chance to speak.
He smiled.
Wei Qianqian returned to her room, leaned against the door, covered her face with her hands, then turned around, pressing her forehead against the door for a long time, unable to dissipate the heat in her body.
She was a doctor, and she considered herself mentally strong. She had seen this in many other people before, but seeing it in Lu Min seemed to be a different feeling.
She didn't have a fever, but it was very hot, and her lower abdomen felt tight, as if...
She was so ashamed that she prostrated herself.
How could she have such feelings for Lu Min?
She's actually craving Lu Min; she's gone mad.
At night, she set an alarm to go to Lu Min's room every half hour for the first half hour.
After taking the medicine, Lu Min fell into a deep sleep, and his body temperature gradually decreased. Fortunately, he did not have a recurring fever afterward.
Wei Qianqian was able to sleep peacefully in the latter half of the night because of this.
But she couldn't get up the next morning.
She had already had a few drinks last night, and after being busy all night, she couldn't get up at all. It was Lu Min who came in and woke her up.
She didn't close the door last night because she was afraid Lu Min might call her if he needed anything. Unexpectedly, Lu Min came upstairs to call her after making breakfast.
"Get up." Lu Min sat by her bedside, looking at the drowsy girl, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
Wei Qianqian quickly covered herself completely with the blanket.
"Couldn't you knock before coming in? She's a girl..." Isn't it incredibly rude to just barge in like that?
“I knocked, but you didn’t hear me. I thought you died in bed last night while taking care of me. You know, haunted houses don’t sell well.”
"..." You can't expect something good to come out of a dog's mouth.
"I'll be waiting for you downstairs," Lu Min chuckled softly.
Wei Qianqian, who was hiding under the covers, heard the door close and then nervously opened the covers.
That's incredibly embarrassing.
Wei Qianqian has never been a good sleeping posture, and he's been looking at her like that. She'll probably be disliked after they get married.
She sighed.
Can poor sleeping posture be cured?
When Wei Qianqian came downstairs, there were already two bowls of vegetable porridge on the table, waiting to cool.
She doesn't eat green vegetables, and when she saw the bright green vegetable leaves in the porridge, she immediately frowned.
She dared not throw away the breakfast that Lu Min had made.
"Sit down." Lu Min came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of hot milk.
Wei Qianqian didn't look well; it must be because she didn't sleep well last night.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lu Min said.
"You're too kind," she said softly, gently stirring the unappetizing breakfast in front of her.
"It's already cold."
"..." Wei Qianqian had no choice but to take action.
However, Lu Min's cooking skills were quite good; the vegetable porridge tasted alright, not as bad as I had imagined.
She finished drinking.
"How are you feeling? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?" Wei Qianqian asked.
“We have a doctor at home, why waste the money?” Lu Min said with a smile.
“I’m an orthopedic surgeon,” she corrected.
Although she has experience in this area, she is afraid that she will encounter the same situation as last night.
She couldn't sleep at all last night.
"I don't mind."
"..." But I mind.
Wei Qianqian picked up the milk and drank it absentmindedly.
