That evening, Su Qingshi developed a fever.
Perhaps due to the shock, this fever was quite severe.
How are you feeling?
Lin Xun removed the towel from her forehead.
The family doctor had just left and prescribed her medication; it was just a common fever, probably from catching a cold.
Su Qingshi's lips were dry and pale, she was extremely weak, and her eyes were still moist.
"Headache, sore throat."
Su Qingshi was very fragile when she was sick, pouting like a wronged child.
Lin Xun picked up the water glass on the table, tested the water temperature, and then placed the straw near Su Qingshi's lips: "Drinking some water will make you feel better."
Su Qingshi took a few sips through the straw to moisten her throat, and then she felt much better.
"Thank you..." Su Qingshi's voice was a little hoarse.
Lin Xun frowned slightly, reached out and touched her forehead; it was still a little hot.
"Sleep a little longer, you'll feel better after you sweat it out." Lin Xun covered her with the blanket, then wet a towel, wrung it out, and placed it back on her forehead.
"Don't go."
Su Qingshi stared at him expectantly.
Lin Xun's heart softened, and he nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll stay with you."
Su Qingshi was finally satisfied. She felt extremely unwell, so she simply closed her eyes without saying a word and fell asleep soon after.
Looking at Su Qingshi's peaceful sleeping face, Lin Xun couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
His senior suddenly developed a fever, which reminded him of the hospital he had visited earlier that day.
I used to hear the older folks in my neighborhood say that hospitals were unlucky places.
Thinking about it now, it feels a bit eerie.
Lin Xun turned off the air conditioner, and the temperature in the room gradually rose. Su Qingshi, who was covered with a quilt, soon started sweating.
However, she slept soundly and did not struggle because of the heat.
Lin Xun stayed by her side the whole time, watching her quietly.
Suddenly, Su Qingshi frowned, as if she had dreamt of something bad.
Seeing this, Lin Xun's drowsiness vanished instantly. He held her hand and gently comforted her, "Shishi, be good. I'm here. I'll stay with you."
The coaxing tone, like that used to soothe a little girl, was surprisingly effective, and Su Qingshi's complexion quickly improved.
It's normal to have nightmares when you have a fever; the fever will subside once you wake up.
midnight.
Perhaps it was because she was too stuffy, Su Qingshi woke up.
Her lifeless eyes stared blankly into the darkness.
Until consciousness returned, accompanied by a feeling of weakness.
So tired.
It felt like we'd been in a fight.
It's even more tiring than doing that kind of thing!
Immediately afterwards, Su Qingshi's expression changed as her senses returned. She suddenly felt sticky all over, her hair and body were covered in sweat, and even the blankets were wet.
I sat up instinctively.
Unexpectedly, this startled Lin Xun, who was sleeping nearby.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xun asked instinctively, then saw Su Qingshi and quickly turned on the desk lamp, asking with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
Su Qingshi nodded gently, her voice still hoarse: "I want to drink water."
Lin Xun took the water glass from the table and carefully brought it to her lips.
After taking a sip of water, Su Qingshi immediately felt much better.
Then Lin Xun placed a thermometer under her armpit.
Su Qingshi stared blankly at him as he busied himself, her heart softening more and more.
Having just recovered from an illness, the girl was emotionally vulnerable and overly dependent.
"Honey~"
A soft, slightly coquettish voice echoed in the room.
Lin Xun, who was about to grab a towel, froze. He stared wide-eyed at Su Qingshi in disbelief.
"Qingshi, was that you speaking just now?"
Su Qingshi blushed and avoided his gaze.
No, you misheard.
Lin Xun, however, refused to listen. He was wide awake by those two words and sat down next to her, picking her up and placing her on his lap.
"Honey, did you just call me?"
Su Qingshi denied it arrogantly, saying, "No, I didn't shout."
"But I clearly heard it!"
"It wasn't me."
"It's just you and me in the room, are you a ghost or something?"
"Pah! What unlucky things are you saying?!"
Lin Xun said coquettishly, "My dear wife, call out again, I want to hear it."
"Eek!"
Su Qingshi got goosebumps and gave him a coquettish glare.
"Be normal!"
Lin Xun continued his tantrum: "I don't care, you have to yell!"
Despite dating for so long, Su Qingshi rarely called him by that name in front of him, not even during intimate moments.
Of course, it's not impossible; when she's lost in the moment, she'll subconsciously listen to Lin Xun's words...
However, she doesn't seem to call out normally.
Su Qingshi was also a little embarrassed by Lin Xun's words. Helpless, she said to him, "Then call me 'sister' and let me hear it."
"elder sister!"
It was incredibly sweet and incredibly crisp.
At this moment, Lin Xun no longer cared about saving face.
No more! All in!
Su Qingshi blushed slightly and uttered two words in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"What? I didn't hear you!"
Lin Xun smiled slightly and deliberately leaned his ear closer.
"Honey~"
This time the voice was louder, yet it revealed endless charm and shyness.
After saying that, Su Qingshi buried herself in his arms.
I'm too ashamed to face anyone.
Lin Xun closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
That feels so good!
He was very happy!
He gently patted the girl's back and helped her take out the thermometer.
37.5
I still have a slight fever.
"Honey, your fever hasn't gone down yet, so you can't take a shower for now."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingshi immediately felt a little wronged.
"But I feel unwell all over."
Lin Xun cupped her face and kissed her, coaxing her affectionately, "It's okay, I'll help you wipe your body."
"I'll do it myself."
"Be good, listen to me."
Under Lin Xun's gentle advances, Su Qingshi didn't want to move anymore and obediently accepted his care.
After changing his clothes, Lin Xun changed all the bed sheets and blankets.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms, and this time Su Qingshi nestled into Lin Xun's embrace.
morning.
Lin Xun woke up early, covered the sleeping Su Qingshi with a blanket, prepared hot water for her and placed it on the bedside table, and then went for a run by himself.
Knowing his physical condition, Lin Xun didn't want to give up.
After finishing his run, while his senior was still sleeping, Lin Xun personally cooked some porridge for her.
Seeing this, the aunties did not stop them and all started to help.
"Young Master really dotes on Young Madam."
"Yes, just like the master and mistress."
Lin Xun smiled slightly: "It's only natural for a husband to dote on his wife."
The older women said they were fed a dose of "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) by the
After Lin Xun finished cooking the porridge, he returned to the room. He saw that Su Qingshi was already awake, leaning against the headboard, looking at something on her phone.
Lin Xun walked to the bedside and sat down.
"Why didn't you wake me up when you were awake?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Su Qingshi's forehead to see if she still had a fever.
"Just measured it, 37.3."
Hearing this, Lin Xun was relieved.
"I made you some porridge, have some."
Su Qingshi looked at him with bright eyes: "Come here."
Lin Xun, not understanding why, moved closer.
Su Qingshi quickly kissed him on the cheek and withdrew.
"Um?"
"Good morning kiss."
