Chapter 191 Sick Again
The next morning, Gu Chengyu was awakened by the abnormal heat in his arms.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked down.
Su Qianqian curled up in his arms, her little face flushed, her breathing hot, her brows tightly furrowed, as if she was extremely uneasy even in her dreams.
Gu Chengyu's heart tightened instantly, and his anger and disappointment were replaced by panic.
He ignored the cold war and raised his hand to touch her forehead, which was frighteningly hot.
"Qianqian? Qianqian?" He patted her cheek gently, his voice flustered.
Su Qianqian opened her eyes drowsily. Her watery almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of mist and had no focus. She just hummed uncomfortably: "Wuwu... It hurts so much..."
Gu Chengyu grabbed the intercom phone on the bedside table and almost yelled at the doctor to come up immediately.
The family doctor who had been assigned to Aunt Zhang's floor since Nanwan came over quickly, checked her nervously, took her temperature, and asked about her condition in detail.
The doctor looked at the number on the thermometer and it was already 39 degrees.
He glanced at Gu Chengyu's face, which was almost dripping with sweat, and said cautiously after choosing his words:
"Mr. Gu, this young lady caught a cold, which caused her high fever."
"Her foundation is weaker than that of an average person, and you've been asking for it too frequently lately, which has strained her. That's why the cold is coming on particularly fiercely."
He didn't dare to say it too bluntly, in fact the main reason was not catching a cold.
But Gu Chengyu still understood, and his expression became even uglier.
The doctor gritted his teeth and continued to advise gently, "You have a bad temper. Young people are full of energy. I can understand."
"But this young lady has a delicate body. After receiving your affection for half a month, she's already like this. You should be a little more restrained and give her time to recuperate and rest..."
Gu Chengyu's jawline was tense, and he felt both distressed and regretful.
Isn't it said to be a tonic? How can it cause illness?
But he couldn't care less about that at the moment. He just waved his hand irritably and said, "I know. Quickly prescribe the medicine."
The doctor quickly took out antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs and prepared warm water.
Gu Chengyu took the medicine, sat down beside the bed, and tried to help Su Qianqian up: "Qianqian, be good, take the medicine."
Su Qianqian was so exhausted from the fever that she turned her head away and refused to cooperate. Tears kept falling down her face as she sobbed and resisted, "No, I don't want to eat. I want to go home..."
But she remembered that she had no home and was all alone in this world. She aggrievedly changed her words: "I want to go back to school..."
Gu Chengyu felt very soft-hearted when he saw her fragile and helpless appearance.
He patiently coaxed her in a low voice, "Take the medicine and you'll feel better. Once the fever goes away, you won't feel any more pain."
"Be good, open your mouth."
"No, wuuuu..." Su Qianqian felt wronged and just wanted to cry, but she refused to take the medicine.
Gu Chengyu's heart was broken by her crying, and he felt guilty and helpless.
He took a deep breath and finally compromised: "Okay, then when you recover from your illness, you can live on campus during the week, but you have to come back on weekends, okay?"
This was his biggest concession.
It's impossible for him to let go completely.
Su Qianqian cried a little softer, as if she was thinking.
She was dizzy from the fever, but she finally nodded her head in frustration, saying with a nasal voice, "Hmm..."
Gu Chengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to put the small pill to her mouth and fed her a few sips of warm water.
Watching her swallow the pill obediently with his hand, as if she were doing it before, Gu Chengyu felt mixed emotions.
He gently put her back on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
"Go to sleep, I'm here with you." He promised in a low voice, as if the man who hurt her last night had never existed.
Su Qianqian seemed to feel a little relieved and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Gu Chengyu just sat beside the bed, looking at her motionlessly.
She would never leave him in this life.
