Chapter 14 Her chin touched the tip of his nose.
In the darkness, Lin Mian could only see the vague outline of the person standing in front of him, which gave him a final sense of security. He suppressed his fear and lowered his voice, "What should we do..."
Jiang Yan turned his head and looked down at him. The supernormal night vision of psychics allowed him to clearly see the man's uneasy expression. "Don't get caught. See if it will leave on its own."
Hearing this, Lin Mian swallowed his saliva and dared not speak anymore.
The distance between them was very close, with only a box between them, and they could hear each other's breathing clearly.
Jiang Jie could even hear Lin Mian's heartbeat quickening due to fear and nervousness. He brought up a topic, "Is the box heavy?"
Lin Mian was so nervous that he almost forgot about the box in his hand. When he was asked, he felt the weight again. He nodded, but worried that the other party couldn't see clearly, so he said softly, "A little."
This time they were carrying purified water, which felt a bit heavy in their hands.
Jiang Jie withdrew his hand from his shoulder, took the box, and carefully placed it on the shelf next to him.
He had just withdrawn his hand when there was a sudden noise outside.
The "scratching" sound was like some animal's claws rubbing against the ground.
Lin Mian's heart tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed the man's clothes and pulled him towards him, hiding deeper in the corner blocked by the shelves.
Jiang Yan was pulled by him, and his whole body was pressed against him. This time there was no box blocking them, so they were closer, and his chin even touched the tip of his nose.
He raised his hand and pressed it on the other's sweaty neck. Feeling his pulse, he whispered, "Don't be nervous."
Lin Mian raised his head, and when his nose brushed against the man's face, he realized how close they were. He loosened his grip and tilted his head back, pressing the back of his head against the wall. "Will it, will it come in?"
"Maybe." Jiang Yan, who was not panicked at all, lowered his voice and sounded very serious.
Lin Mian became nervous after hearing this, and unconsciously held him tightly with his hands, shrinking closer to him.
Jiang Jie, who had done something bad and scared people, raised the corner of his mouth silently, but when he turned his head to look at the door, his expression turned cold again.
If it really dares to come in, no one will know who will die.
Perhaps they felt his silent aura, they stayed there quietly for a long time, and there was no extra movement from outside, only silence.
They were so hot that Lin Mian couldn't help but move as they were sticking together and sweating.
Jiang Jie, who was paying attention to the movement at the door, took half a step back. He could feel that the alien creature had left the vicinity.
It's lucky.
"Let's go." After making sure it was safe, Jiang Jie retreated completely.
Lin Mian also breathed a sigh of relief. He did not forget to take the box of supplies with him before leaving.
They were busy in the supermarket for quite some time. The sunlight outside was much milder than before, and the horizon was already faintly orange.
Jiang Jie got in the car and sat down on the sofa, rubbing his eyebrows a little tiredly.
Lin Mian put down his things and leaned over. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Not bad." Jiang Jie stood up again. "An alien creature just appeared. It's not safe around here. Let's leave first."
What he said made sense. Lin Mian had no objection and did not bother to ask any more questions. He followed him to the driver's seat.
Jiang Jie drove deeper into the city and avoided the alien creatures in advance based on his perception.
At present, the IQ level of these things is still not high enough. Some more advanced alien creatures know how to avoid advantages and disadvantages and will not actively attack those who are obviously stronger than them, which can avoid a lot of trouble.
As for the parking location, Jiang Jie chose a parking lot. This kind of place is open and not blocked by many buildings.
It is convenient to observe the surrounding situation, and no matter whether it is a person or an alien object approaching, it can be discovered at the first time.
If you stay overnight, you can also disguise it as an unowned vehicle parked here, which has a relatively high safety factor.
After parking the car, Jiang Jie raised his hand and rubbed his temples again, his face not looking too good.
Lin Mian unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to him, "Brother Ji, how is it?"
Jiang Jie put down his hands, leaned his head against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and shook his head, looking indeed uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he felt a soft coolness on his forehead. He paused slightly. It was the boy's palm.
Lin Mian touched his forehead and it seemed a little hot, but he was using the air conditioner and his hands were cooler, so he was not sure whether this feeling was accurate.
He tried to touch his forehead, then touched the other person's cheek, but still unsure, so he withdrew his hand and said, "Let me take your thermometer."
It was in the medicine box, he had seen it.
He was about to get up and leave, but someone grabbed his hand and he turned around in confusion.
Jiang Yan rubbed his fingers against his soft, cool palm and leaned lazily against the back of the sofa. "No, I just need to rest for a while."
Lin Mian hesitated for a moment, but still didn't refute him. He nodded and said, "Okay, then go and rest for a while. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can measure it again."
As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his other hand to support the other's arm, "Come on, brother Sae, I'll take you to the bed."
Jiang Yan didn't say anything about being able to walk. He stood up following his strength, and the two of them went to the back through the gap between the seats.
He was helped to the bed, made to lie down on it, and a blanket was pulled over to cover most of his body.
Lin Mian watched him close his eyes, then quietly stepped away. After thinking for a while, he went to the cupboard to get some rice and prepared to cook some porridge.
When you are sick, you have to eat something light.
It's a pity that there are no nutritious things like eggs. The ones found in the supermarket are all rotten.
When the car was filled with the rich aroma of rice, the sky outside had already become completely dark. There was no one around and it was pitch black.
Lin Mian stirred the porridge that had already been cooked very thick, covered it with a lid, turned off the fire, and went to the back to check on the person on the bed.
The man still had his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.
He reached out and gently patted the other man's arm, "Brother Sae?"
Jiang Jie slowly opened his eyes, still a little confused from just waking up, and seemed a little unresponsive.
Lin Mian frowned. It was the first time he saw the other person so unconscious. These days, the man was always energetic and always got up before him.
He leaned forward slightly and moved closer, then said softly, "I made some porridge. Do you want some?"
Jiang Jie took two seconds to react, then shook his head slightly. When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "I don't want to eat anymore."
It's normal to have no appetite and not be able to eat when you're not feeling well, but Lin Mian was still a little worried. He raised his hand and touched the other person's forehead again.
This time he could actually feel the high temperature. He withdrew his hand and said, "I'll get the thermometer."
Feeling anxious, he didn't ask for the other party's opinion and turned around to look through the medicine box.
Jiang Jie, who quietly used his fire ability to raise his body temperature, no longer had the confused look on his face. He looked at his back with clear eyes.
The moment the person turned around, his eyelids drooped again and he looked listless again.
Lin Mian swung the mercury thermometer aside and handed it to someone, "Brother Ji, measure it."
Jiang Jie did not refuse this time. He took the thermometer and put it away.
The measured temperature is 39℃, which is considered a high fever and I need to take medicine.
Lin Mian put away the thermometer and bent down to persuade him kindly, "Brother Ji, it's best to take antipyretics after meals. Can you eat something first?"
Although it is not so absolute, it is always good to eat some ready-made porridge, which will be less irritating to the stomach.
Maybe because he was sick or feeling uncomfortable, Jiang Yan became obedient and nodded to him.
Lin Mian hurriedly served him a small bowl of porridge, opened a small jar of pickles, and took out a small dish. He had no taste in his mouth when he was sick, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat only porridge.
When he returned to the rear of the car, Jiang Jie had already sat up, leaning against the wall of the car beside the bed, looking listless.
Lin Mian handed the porridge over and said, "Be careful, it's hot."
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes and glanced at it, but didn't answer. He said weakly, "My hands are too weak."
Lin Mian paused and said, yes, having a fever does make you feel weak.
Sitting down on the bed, he placed the pickled vegetable dish on the protruding cabinet beside the bed. He stirred the porridge, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and handed it over, "Here."
Jiang Jie then lowered his head and ate.
The two of them fed one another, and soon the bowl of porridge was empty, and most of the pickles, which were not many, were also eaten.
Lin Mian took a tissue and wiped the man's mouth. He had done this before in the orphanage to help take care of children younger than him, and it was quite easy for him to do.
Jiang Yan had a tissue pressed against her lips. She looked up at him with a deep look in her eyes.
"You rest for a while, I'll call you to take medicine later." Lin Mian crumpled up the used tissue and took the empty bowl to clean up.
Jiang Jie watched him leave, moved down and lay back on the bed.
It is best to wait thirty minutes after a meal to take medicine. During this time, Lin Mian also had some simple porridge.
Then I washed the dishes, opened a bottle of mineral water, poured it into the electric kettle, and pressed the switch.
After pouring out the boiled water and letting it air dry, he took out some antipyretic medicine from the medicine box. Seeing the cut marks on the bottom, he remembered that his medicine had been borrowed last night.
I also have a fever...
He turned to look at the man lying on the bed at the back of the car.
Could it be that he is not simply sick, but has some magical ability?
Lin Mian felt that if this was true, it might be a good thing for them...
He shook his head and patted his head, reminding himself not to be happy that Brother Sae was sick. What if he was just simply feeling unwell? That would be totally wrong.
He took the water and medicine to the bedside. This time the person lying there didn't let him scream and opened his eyes directly.
Lin Mian bent down and said, "Brother Jie, take the medicine."
Jiang Jie propped himself up and sat up. When he looked up, he saw the person standing by the bed with the roof light on his back, handing him medicine. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his previous life.
Suddenly he became very curious. If he had not been so cautious in rejecting Lin Mian and had not left, what would have happened later?
Seeing the man's dazed look, Lin Mian thought he was too uncomfortable and confused, so he handed the water and medicine forward again, "Take the medicine and you can rest."
Jiang Yan came back to his senses, silently took the medicine plate and took two pills, then took the water and drank half a cup.
There is no if. I would have made the same choice at that time, and I would probably do the same thing again.
After he took the medicine, Lin Mian felt a little relieved. He watched the man lie down before turning around and leaving.
After putting the cup and medicine away, he didn't forget to check the electronic clock in the car to confirm the time. If the situation did not improve, he would have to ask someone to take the medicine again at night.
He looked outside from the car window. Without any lights, he couldn't see anything, which made him feel very insecure.
Especially now that Jiang Jie is feeling unwell.
He reached out and pulled the curtains by the window. To be safe, he found the camping light and turned it off, then turned off all the bright headlights on the car.
There is only dim light inside the car, so there will be no obvious light from outside the car, which is relatively safer.
