Chapter 319 Fever
A gust of wind swept by, making the treetops outside whistle and the sound pierced the sky. If it weren't a summer night, one would think it was a winter north wind.
The fierce winds eroded the city, the outer fences rattled in the wind, and the sounds of things being blown over and collapsing could be heard.
The housekeeper and servants hurriedly got up to check the surrounding environment and the water and electricity.
In less than two minutes, the large raindrops seemed to have lost their restraint and began to fall rapidly, making a pattering sound as they hit the ground.
"Is Xixi coming over?" Luo Shu suddenly asked.
“Yes.” Yu Zhan turned his gaze to the dark, rainy night outside.
Luo Shu happened to see in the group chat that they were drinking at Yuan Chenzhi's bar.
She quickly made a phone call, and Wei Qianqian answered the phone very soon.
[What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?] Wei Qianqian sat in the back seat of the car.
"It looks like a typhoon is coming. Why don't you just go home?" Luo Shu was worried that if she went home too late, the typhoon might arrive in no time.
Wei Qianqian: [Just passing by, it's okay, it's only a two-minute walk inside.]
Okay then, be careful.
"I called a designated driver without worry..." The car broke down right after I finished speaking.
"What's wrong?" Wei Qianqian glanced at the man in the driver's seat.
"The engine stalled." He turned on his hazard lights. "I'll get out and check it. Don't worry."
The driver skillfully got out of the car, took a tripod from the trunk, weighed it down with a stone, and then returned to the front of the car to check it.
The rain was getting heavier, making the car pound loudly.
Wei Qianqian was still holding her phone, which hadn't been hung up yet, to her chest. Fearing it might be a problem with the designated driver, she watched him warily.
Soon, the designated driver opened the driver's seat and said to Wei Qianqian, "The car's battery is dead, we need to call a tow truck."
“Oh…” Wei Qianqian paused for two seconds, completely forgetting that cars also need electricity.
"Get out of the car first, it's raining too hard, it's not safe to stay in the car." The driver handed her an umbrella.
“…” Wei Qianqian swallowed.
[Sisi...] Luo Shu heard it all on the phone and called out to her.
"I'm here, I'm here..." Wei Qianqian opened her umbrella as she got out of the car, her heart filled with panic.
Where are you now?
Wei Qianqian gave her a location, and a gust of wind blew by, almost knocking her over and breaking her umbrella.
The designated driver stood by and helped her call for roadside assistance.
Wei Qianqian retreated to the side of the already closed store, where the designated driver stood in front of the wind to shield her from the wind.
"Thank you, Master!" Wei Qianqian's voice rose considerably.
"What did you say?" The wind was too strong, and he couldn't hear clearly.
"I said, thank you!" Wei Qianqian raised her voice a little higher.
The hazy feeling from drinking was completely sobered up by the rain. Although she was sheltering under the shop, she was soaked to the bone, and even an umbrella was no use.
My phone got wet.
A strong gust of wind swept in, and the designated drivers standing in front all stepped back. Wei Qianqian behind her stumbled, and her phone fell into a puddle, instantly bubbling a few times.
"..." Wei Qianqian felt a pang of heartache and quickly squatted down to pick it up.
The computer won't turn on.
It really was a case of starting strong but failing to achieve anything.
She sighed. Well, the car was off and her phone was switched off; things were bad enough already.
We originally planned to stay up all night tonight. It was a friend's birthday, and we gathered at a bar. Yuan Chenxi was there too, and the two of us planned to stay at Yuan Chenzhi's private property upstairs from the bar.
Unexpectedly, she saw Lu Min at the bar. He was there too, but he didn't see Wei Qianqian. To avoid being caught by Lu Min, he chose to go home and deliver medicine to Luo Shu on the way.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to come out during a typhoon.
"Did you make the call?" Luo Shu asked Yu Zhan, who was standing next to her.
"I called, and he happened to be there too. He's already gone." After hanging up, Yu Zhan continued to try and calm her down, "How are you feeling?"
"My head hurts." She looked aggrieved.
Yu Zhan helped her lie on his lap and massaged her.
"Hmm, Xiao Yuzi's technique is quite good." Luo Shu closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation.
Yu Zhan pinched her cheek. "Call him Your Majesty."
"..." Luo Shu giggled.
What do you want to eat tomorrow?
Luo Shu thought for a moment, "How about braised pork and steamed buns?"
"Yes." Yu Zhan seemed to know everything.
"Do it now?"
"Do it now?" Yu Zhan thought he had misheard.
Luo Shu got up from the sofa. "While I'm still energetic, find me something to do. You can teach me."
Yu Zhan found her serious expression somewhat amusing.
Does this person still look like someone with a fever, especially since she's pregnant?
"You should just rest. If you're free, then so be it."
"Please, I've been lying here for almost a day." Luo Shu got up, pulled him up with both hands, and walked towards the kitchen.
Besides having a fever, she was thinking about Luo Zhen more than anything else and couldn't sleep at all.
"..." Yu Zhan reluctantly followed her into the kitchen.
She has the energy, but Yu Zhan will suffer.
He took Luo Shu's hand, touched her forehead, and said, "Your temperature isn't that high, how did you get delirious? Who stays up all night making steamed buns? Hmm?"
Luo Shu pouted and snuggled into his arms, acting coquettishly, "Brother Yu, but I want to eat steamed buns."
She raised her head slightly, her unusually high body temperature burning him, even her breath was so hot, hitting him squarely on the neck.
Yu Zhan wrapped his arms around her waist and said, almost as if possessed, "Okay, I'll make it for you."
Luo Shu snuggled against him with a smile, "I love you to death."
"..." Yu Zhan's lips curled up slightly.
It felt as if all the fatigue in my body had vanished.
He took out flour from the locker, preparing the ingredients to make steamed buns.
Luo Shu couldn't be of much help. Yu Zhan had been preparing the necessary items until he started making the dough, and only then did he begin making the braised pork.
Do you prefer sweet or savory?
I like them both.
“…” Yu Zhan frowned, “He’s quite difficult to please.”
"It's best to add some spice."
She didn't eat much spicy food before, but now that she's pregnant, she eats it every day.
"You're pregnant and have a fever, and you want to eat spicy food?" Yu Zhan didn't quite agree.
"I'll eat it when I'm better, not when I'm done."
Yu Zhan smiled and said, "Is that so? Rats never eat leftovers."
"Who are you cursing!" Luo Shu punched his arm from the side.
Although Yu Zhan smiled and said that, he still took out the chili peppers.
He put on an apron and busied himself skillfully at the stove.
Luo Shu wasn't idle either; she was cooking ginger soup on the side.
Why are you making ginger soup?
"When Xixi comes over later, give her some to drink. She's probably soaked by now. Her car broke down, and with the rain so heavy outside, she must be completely drenched."
Yu Zhan looked outside; Lu Min should have arrived by now.
“She wouldn’t go back, she insisted on being brought here. Luckily it was on the way, otherwise I really wouldn’t want her to come.” Luo Shu said with a worried expression.
"Lu Min is here, everything is fine."
"Lu Min is so rude, how can he take good care of people?"
Yu Zhan pursed his lips, "And what about me?"
“You,” Luo Shu praised without any politeness, “you’re the most handsome, and you can even cook. I really regret not having pounced on you back in college.”
"...That's too much, saying it again would be hypocritical." Such insincere and cheesy words give one goosebumps.
Luo Shu burst into laughter.
