"mom!"
Xia Li ran downstairs as fast as she could: "Where did we put the thermometer at home?"
After only a short while, they started shouting.
The words "I understand" rushed back.
She squatted down in front of the sofa, opened the coffee table drawer, and rummaged through it.
They found a forehead thermometer inside.
Then, in a manner reminiscent of an undercover agent, he aimed directly at Li Si's forehead.
*Bang!* A shot.
—37.5℃.
Looking at the numbers displayed on the forehead thermometer.
Summer pears have a complex flavor profile:
"Oh? You really have a fever?"
Li Si was equally taken aback: "Huh? I really have a fever?"
Xia Li: ...?
Why are you so surprised?
In fact, Li Si, who had just woken up, only wanted to tease Xia Li and make fun of her, saying, "The blanket you gave me is completely useless."
But—huh?
Are you really useless?
He initially thought that his head felt heavy when he woke up because he hadn't slept well, but it turns out he was sick.
The saying "love can overcome all difficulties" turns out it couldn't even withstand a mere cold.
"It's so easy to catch a cold this time of year," Lu Yibei said.
Today on the subway, many people were wearing masks and coughing.
Upon hearing this, Li Si felt a tickle in his throat.
"Why do you get sick so easily..."
Xia Li frowned, the little girl's reproach tinged with concern: "You're too weak..."
Li Si could only manage a wry smile.
Indeed, compared to Xia Li, a creature with the vitality of wild grass.
He could indeed be described as "physically weak".
Moreover, I haven't been sleeping well these past two days, which has led to a decrease in my immunity.
"Then why don't you go back first—Brother Bei, can you help me hold him up?"
After Xia Li finished speaking, she gestured with her eyes to ask Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei nodded. 37.5℃ is on the verge of a fever, but it's not serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital.
However, for patients, it also presents certain symptoms and is not a pleasant experience.
“I’ll find someone to take us back,” Lu Yibei said.
When he first opened the Little Black Box, he saw that Xu Che was still online on Steam, and then glanced at his live stream channel.
Sure enough, they were still playing with dice.
It's time to take him away from Boqi and bring him back to real life.
—Good news, when Lu Yibei entered Xu Che's live stream, he actually found that there were viewers. Not many, just one.
—The bad news is, that audience member was him.
Lu Yibei hadn't even had a chance to make the call yet.
Xia's mother, who had just washed her hands and was drying them with a tissue, quickly walked up.
She was a little anxious:
"What's wrong?"
As she spoke, she looked at Li Si again—she couldn't see any difference at all.
But Xia's mother could sense a certain "weakness" from Li Si's face.
On the contrary, Xia Li was quite carefree and didn't seem too worried.
She pouted and said, "Some weakling has caught a cold... and even has a fever."
Xia's mother immediately scolded, "How dare you speak like that?!"
Then, he carefully inquired about this unexpected son-in-law:
Are you alright?
"without."
Li Si smiled and shook her head: "Your temperature isn't high—you should be fine after taking some medicine and getting some sleep. Auntie, don't worry. We'll head back now...we'll come back another day."
Xia's mother nodded, just about to say okay.
But they also carefully considered other issues.
"It should get better" means "It's possible it won't get better."
She quickly asked, "Are you going back to your dorm?"
Li Si nodded.
"Is anyone in the dormitory?" Xia's mother asked again.
Li Si was taken aback.
He immediately understood the meaning behind Xia's mother's question.
He glanced at Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei's eyes seemed to say, "I'm asking you a question, why are you looking at me?"
Li Si hesitated slightly, but still shook his head:
"No."
Xia's mother asked if anyone was home.
A roommate is only a person when they are a person.
But as everyone knows, roommates are mostly inhumane.
"Why don't you stay here tonight? That way you'll have someone to look after you if your fever gets worse in the middle of the night—and let me tell you, fevers only get really bad in the latter half of the night!" Xia's mother was quite worried.
Xia Li was taken aback: "If it's not Mom, then where does he live?"
"I'll stay in your room," Xia's mother said.
Xia Li was even more stunned, then loudly refused: "I won't sleep with him!!"
Xia's mother couldn't hold back any longer.
Ignoring her image as a "virtuous mother," she punched her daughter on the head: "Who told you to—"
This...this—
Is this really something a girl would say?!
"You'll sleep with me!"
Xia's mother said, "Oh, Xiao Li, don't worry about it. Xia Li often sleeps with me. Besides, if you're still not feeling well tomorrow morning, Xia Li can take you to the hospital."
Xia Li said anxiously, "Isn't there still Brother Bei? He'll figure something out!"
Lu Yibei asked expressionlessly, "Qingqian, what time did you book your ticket back to Chaocheng for tomorrow?"
Ji Qingqian replied indifferently, "6:30 in the morning."
Xia Li: ...?
"Wait, why are you going back so early?"
Ji Qingqian made up a story: "Let's eat breakfast."
Lu Yibei quickly chimed in, "It's the one I recommended to you guys before, isn't it delicious?"
Xia Li nodded subconsciously.
—That really tastes good.
"It's delicious, that's all that matters. If you go too late, it'll be sold out," Lu Yibei said.
Xia's mother nodded to herself. It turned out that Yi Bei had recommended a breakfast restaurant in Chaocheng to the two of them. Sure enough, her daughter's ability to get to this point with this young man was inseparable from Yi Bei's help.
