"Thirty-nine degrees. High fever."

School doctor Zhang took out the thermometer with a serious expression.

"Let me cool you down first."

Shen Baili half-lay on the hospital bed and nodded weakly: "Thank you, doctor."

She stretched out her hand and the needle was inserted into the back of her hand. It was a slight sting but it was gone in a flash.

Meng Jiuan and Ji Qi stayed quietly on the other side to avoid delaying the treatment.

"Does it hurt?" Ji Qi felt the pain the moment the needle pierced into the flesh.

He has been afraid of injections since he was a child.

"It doesn't hurt." Shen Baili made an analogy: "It feels like being bitten by an ant."

"Drink more water, wait until this bottle of medicine is finished, and see if it has any effect on reducing fever."

"If you feel any discomfort, just call me." Doctor Zhang instructed seriously, put a fever-reducing patch on her forehead, and then took care of her.

Shen Baili felt much more comfortable with a cool head. She was a little sleepy and couldn't help yawning.

School doctor Zhang shook his head helplessly: "Why are you students so strong-willed? Health is the most important thing, you know?"

Last time it was Ruan Mian who insisted on finishing the competition even though she broke her leg, and this time it was Shen Baili who insisted on finishing the test paper despite having a high fever. Each one of them is a desperate person, and their stubbornness is exactly the same as their teacher.

Facing the school doctor's nagging, Shen Baili responded with a smile.

Deng Qin saw the sleepiness on her face and helped her lie down on the bed.

"Go to sleep, the teacher is watching the medicine."

"A good night's sleep will make everything fine."

Her voice was very gentle. Shen Bai curled up in the quilt, feeling sleepy.

She was too tired, and being sick took up too much of her energy.

"Go to sleep."

Shen Baili fell into a sweet dream, and until she fell asleep, she didn't remember what she had forgotten.

When she woke up again, it was already dark.

It was pitch black outside the window, and only the desk light in front of the bed was on. It was not glaring, but Shen Baili still took a few seconds to adjust to the light.

Xie Zhiyu sat in front of the hospital bed, supporting his forehead with one hand. Under the soft light, the shadow of his long eyelashes fell on his face.

Like Sleeping Beauty, Shen Baili thought.

Xie Zhiyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, he opened his eyes and met Shen Baili's eyes.

"Awake?" His voice was hoarse from just waking up.

"Brother?" Shen Baili's voice was hoarse and she couldn't help coughing twice.

Xie Zhiyu poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her.

"Drink some water, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

After drinking the water, Shen Baili felt a little better in her throat: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xie Zhiyu put down the cup: "Are you hungry?"

"I asked the housekeeper to bring some porridge. Do you want to drink it now?"

Shen Baili shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

She doesn't like the smell of hospital disinfectant, it's very unpleasant.

"Brother, I want to go home."

Xie Zhiyu looked at her thin cheeks and said, "Okay, let's go home."

Shen Baili got up and put on her shoes. Later she realized that she was wearing pajamas, long-sleeved pink cotton pajamas, similar in style and material to the ones she usually wore at home.

When did she change her clothes? Who helped her change her clothes?

"You were sweating a lot. The doctor helped me change my clothes."

Xie Zhiyu was holding his coat in his hand and saw the confusion in his eyes.

"It's windy outside, put on your coat."

Shen Baili took Chang Kai's coat and wrapped herself tightly: "Thank you, brother."

"Brother, where is my mother?"

She was sick and wanted to find her mother.

"Aunt Shen is on a flight tonight and is expected to arrive home late at night," Xie Zhiyu said.

Shen Baili's confused mind began to work. She remembered that her mother went to the neighboring province to attend a business opening ceremony. Did she rush back as soon as she learned that she was sick?

"Butler Xiaolin is going to pick you up at the airport, so it will be very late." Xie Zhiyu said, "I've asked your teacher for leave for you. Have a good rest at home tomorrow."

Shen Baili remembered the reason why she had a fever, and this time she didn't try to be brave: "Okay."

The two men walked out of the infirmary. The empty corridor only echoed with their footsteps.

The campus at night has a special kind of horror.

Shen Baili felt a chill on her neck: "Brother, are you back today?"

"Aren't you on a business trip abroad?"

Xie Zhiyu: "I came back at noon today."

After he got home, he made up for the jet lag and just as he woke up and went to the living room, he bumped into housekeeper Lin who was in a hurry to go out.

Upon learning that Shen Baili had a fever, he took the packed clothes and drove directly to school.

When he arrived, Shen Baili was sleeping soundly.

Maybe she was too tired. Even when School Doctor Zhang wiped Shen Baili's sweat and changed her clothes, she didn't wake up.

Xie Zhiyu moved a stool and stood by the bed, watching the medicine.

During this period, Shen Baili's friends came to see her. They all came quietly and left only after Shen Baili's fever subsided.

Shen Baili: "Thank you, brother."

"Sui Sui, we are a family." Xie Zhiyu reached out and touched the top of her head, his palms were hot.

Shen Baili felt warm in her heart: "Brother, you are so nice!"

[Brother, you are a very, very nice person.]

A smile flashed across Xie Zhiyu's deep eyes.

"Thank you."

“I’m honored.”

Xie Zhiyu, who has been given the nice guy card many times, is still in a good mood.

"Sui Sui."

"You are excellent. You are strong, brave and smart."

His voice echoed in the empty space. Shen Baili was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she heard Xie Zhiyu praise her so straightforwardly. She was surprised and delighted.

She knew she was excellent, and she could remain calm in the face of compliments from her classmates.

But it’s my big brother’s praise! It’s my big brother’s praise!

[Big brother praised me. Big brother praised me. Hehehehehe.]

[Why did you praise me, brother?]

Shen Baili couldn't suppress the smile on her face: "Thank you!"

"Brother, why are you praising me?"

She asked bluntly.

Xie Zhiyu: "Because there is no reason."

“You are excellent, that’s a fact.”

He did not blame Shen Baili for being stubborn. Even though she had a high fever, she still insisted on finishing the midterm exam.

She knows what she wants better than anyone else. She is ambitious and driven.

That's good.

Xie Zhiyu would not pour cold water on the energetic Shen Baili, as she did not need it, but he would give her appropriate reminders.

He continued: "Good points are praised, but taking the exam while ill is not recommended."

Shen Baili: "I won't get sick next time."

Xie Zhiyu: "Okay, I won't get sick."

"If you do the subtraction properly, you may get a different surprise."

He gave reasonable advice: "Every year, a person's time and energy are limited. Don't overdraw your health. Occasionally, look at the scenery around you."

Xie Zhiyu has always seen Shen Baili's hard work and self-discipline.

Shen Baili lowered her eyes: "I know."

"I'll think about which part to reduce first."

This fever is a wake-up call.

The two of them walked through a long corridor and came to the staircase. Shen Baili took a step down and her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

She felt her legs were shaking as she walked in the corridor. It might be the sequelae of the fever. The conversation with her eldest brother made her ignore it for the time being.

Until you go down the stairs.

Xie Zhiyu: "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry. I was careless."

In fact, Shen Baili insisted on walking by herself. She was not used to being carried or hugged by others. Her experiences in her youth made her subconsciously avoid relying on others, which would make her weak.

"I'm fine, don't feel sorry." Shen Baili calmed her heartbeat which had quickened due to the accident.

"Brother, I am sorry for what I did to you just now. Thank you."

She stretched her legs; she had not been ready before, but now she was.

"Brother, let's go down."

Xie Zhiyu walked down the stairs and half squatted down: "Sui Sui, let me carry you."

His tone was gentle, but unyielding.
