Chapter 240: Caring for the Sick

Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou's honeymoon lasted for forty-five days, and they flew to eight countries.

She and He Tingzhou never made a step-by-step plan. They flew their own planes and went wherever they wanted. Maybe they would suddenly feel like going to Egypt while walking on the streets of Milan. Or they might still be sleeping in a hotel in the Maldives at night, and when they woke up in the morning, they would have already flown into the airspace of the UAE.

This is the most comfortable and casual time for Shuang Xu. He travels around the world with his beloved one, without being disturbed by all the troubles in the world.

Originally scheduled for a month's wedding leave, she and He Tingzhou stayed out for more than ten days before returning. Shu Yang and Xiao Liao expressed their endless jealousy in the group chat every day.

Xiao Liao said: [Can I be reborn as your dog in my next life? ]

Shuangxu replied: [I don’t know where I will be in my next life. Maybe I will be a zebra in Kenya.]

Xiao Liao: [Then I want to be your hyena too! ]

Frost sequence:?

Shu Yang couldn't stand it any longer: "Can you be more ambitious? Why don't you be her daughter in your next life? You have to be a dog. In the future, your grandfather will be the commander, your father will be the big boss, your mother will be the small boss, and you will spend the family's money by yourself. Isn't that nice?"

Xiao Liao is very smart now: [Then I may have to die now. It’s too hasty. I haven’t lived enough in this life.]

They traveled light when they left, but had a lot more luggage when they returned to Yancheng. Shuang Xu brought gifts for almost everyone.

Every colleague in the company received one, and even the interns who had just joined after she left and had not yet had the chance to meet her received their own gifts. They were so moved that they burst into tears: "No wonder everyone says that the atmosphere at Feixue is so good, I really came to the right place!"

On the day Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou landed in Yancheng, He Qingwei happened to be at home.

After getting off the plane, the two returned to the compound to have dinner, and she gave He Xiwei the gift she bought for him.

"I heard from Uncle Lin that your watch was broken, so I bought you one when I was in Switzerland. Take a look at it and see if you like it."

He Qingwei's lifestyle can be described as frugal; the watch he wears on a daily basis was a gift from his mother He on their wedding day.

He had always protected it very carefully and hadn't replaced it for more than 20 years. It had broken down and been repaired several times, but mechanical watches had a limited lifespan and the watch eventually died due to an accidental bump a while ago.

The watch was chosen by her. It has a platinum strap and an inky blue dial. It is low-key and solemn, suitable for his status.

“You guys are thoughtful.”

He Qingwei still had that expressionless look on his face. He accepted the watch, but neither tried it on nor looked at it for long. Instead, he asked Lao Lin to put it away for him.

Shuang Xu looked at his expression and thought that he didn't like it. When He Qingwei wasn't paying attention, she quietly asked He Tingzhou: "Dad, do you dislike this watch but are too embarrassed to say it to my face?"

Of course when giving gifts one still hopes that they will touch the heart of the other person. She didn't spend much time with He Qingwei, so she didn't know what he really liked.

He Tingzhou glanced at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him with a dignified demeanor, and said simply, "He likes it."

Shuang Xu also glanced at He Qingwei, but he really couldn't see how he looked like she liked him.

"How did you know that?"

"It makes sense. No one has given him a gift for eight hundred years. How dare he not like it?" He Tingzhou took the shrimp she had just peeled with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth with a righteous look, "Peel another one."

“……” Shuang Xu had no choice but to take another shrimp and peel it for him.

He is the only son in the world who dares not to take He Qingwei seriously. As the commander of the Air Force, the number of people who try every means to send gifts to him may be so great that they can break the single-plank bridge.

After dinner, Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou sat with He Xingwei and chatted for a while - of course, it was mainly because she and He Xingwei were trying to find topics to talk about when there was nothing to talk about.

There is no such beautiful vision as "loving father and filial son" in He Tingzhou's dictionary. The greatest filial piety he showed to He Qingwei was to condescend to bring Shuang Xu back to have a meal with him.

The two left the compound and got in the car. Shuang Xu fastened his seat belt and Lao Xu was about to start the car.

He Tingzhou suddenly said, "Did you drop your phone?"

Shuang Xu felt his pocket and found that his cell phone was not there.

She immediately got out of the car and went back to get it. When she walked into the living room, He Qingwei was sitting on the sofa with the watch she had given him on his wrist, and he was examining it lovingly.

Frost Preface paused.

He Qingwei raised his head when he heard the voice.

They both stopped moving at the same time.

After a few seconds, Lao Lin, who was standing next to him, cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence.

He Qingwei regained his dignity and said, "This watch is very accurate."

Shuang Xu kept a serious look: "I forgot to bring my phone. I came back to look for it."

Lao Lin showed a strange expression: "Your cell phone, I saw the young master put it in his pocket when he left."

He Tingzhou took it away? Shuang Xu was stunned for a second before he realized that he had fallen into his trap again.

She deliberately let her come back and see it so that she would know that He Qingwei liked the gift she gave.

She couldn't help but laugh, and said to He Qingwei, who was keeping a cool face, "There's been an outbreak of influenza A recently, so remember to take precautions when you go out, Dad."

After all, daughters and sons are different. He Qingwei has been a father for nearly thirty years, but he has never heard He Tingzhou say a word about caring about him.

His expression visibly softened. "You come into contact with many people every day at work, so you have to be careful. Tingzhou is in good health, so there's no need for anyone to worry about him. You just take care of yourself."

When Shuangxu walked to the car, the door was still open, waiting for her. He Tingzhou crossed his long legs, holding a white cell phone in his hand, spinning it around leisurely.

Glancing at her sparkling eyes, he raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Are you happy?"

"Yeah." Shuang Xu got in the car and took back his phone. "You are still very cunning."

The flu was raging, and several colleagues in the company were infected one after another. Feixue's management in this regard has always been humane. She usually works overtime a lot, and is also clear about when it is time to rest.

In order to prevent infection and affect other people's normal work, Shuangxu directly approved leave for those patients. If there is work that must be completed, you can choose to work from home.

Shen Changyuan went to South City on a business trip these days, and he had a few days of free time, so he took Fu Yun with him. After finishing work, they took a walk around. The two of them were not in Yancheng recently, and when they knew about the H1N1 flu, they repeatedly reminded Shuangxu to take precautions.

That morning when Shuang Xu was going to work, he received a call from Xiao Liao.

"Young boss, please come quickly. All the old employees who followed CEO Chen to switch jobs have come back and are now surrounding CEO Shu in the office and crying."

After Shu Yang's transplant, his immunity is much worse than that of ordinary people. He should avoid situations where there are many people, as someone might be carrying the virus.

"I'll be right there."

Just after I hung up the call, another call came in from Fu Yun.

Shuang Xu picked up the phone, and Fu Yun's tone was very anxious: "Shuang Xu, your brother is infected. He had a high fever last night. I called him this morning but couldn't get through. I called the company, and the secretary said he didn't go to work today. I don't know if he passed out from the fever. Your godfather and I are anxious to get back, but the earliest flight is tomorrow."

Shen Yu is infected?

He was alone in the apartment, and it would be troublesome if he really fainted from a fever.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm going to my brother's place right now."

He Tingzhou's ears were sharp enough to detect certain sensitive words.

"What's wrong?"

Shuang Xu frowned in worry, and while calling Shen Yu, he said, "My brother has been infected, and now he can't be contacted. I don't know how he is doing. I have to go check on him."

A stable person like Shen Yu would not lose contact easily. If he could not be contacted, he must be seriously ill. Shen Changyuan and his wife were not around, so she, the only relative, would definitely stay and take care of him personally. When one was at a vulnerable time, the other was concerned about her well-being. Wouldn't that make the relationship more tense?

He Tingzhou tapped his fingers on his knees carelessly: "Doesn't the company have urgent matters to deal with?"

As expected, Shen Yu's call was not connected. Shuang Xu's brows furrowed even more tightly. There were situations on both sides, each more urgent than the other.

Before she could figure out which was more urgent, He Tingzhou said, "You go to the company, I'll take care of your brother."

"You? Take care of my brother?" There was naked suspicion in Shuang Xu's eyes.

He Tingzhou poked her screen with his finger and hung up the phone she was about to call a second time, and said sanctimoniously: "Your brother is my brother. We are all family. How can I just sit back and do nothing when he is sick?"

Shuang Xu knew that he was a jealous person who would be overturned at the slightest touch, but even though he was petty, he would definitely not do anything rash.

This is a perfect solution. She will go to the company to handle things first, and if there is any situation with Shen Yu, it will not be too late to go there.

When we got off the car at the company building, Shuang Xu said worriedly, "I'll leave my brother to you. He's sick, so don't bully him. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Shen Yu's job requires him to meet many people every day. It is impossible to trace from whom he was exposed to the virus. He is in good health and rarely even catches a cold. This time the illness came like a mountain. He suddenly had a high fever yesterday, which reached 39 degrees at night. The antipyretic medicine had little effect.

The curtains of the apartment were closed. He slept for an unknown amount of time before being awakened by a knock on the door.

He picked up his phone and saw that Shuang Xu and Fu Yun had called him. Half an hour later, Fu Yun sent him a message: [I asked Shuang Xu to visit you]

Xiaojiu is here?

Shen Yu got out of bed with a high fever, walked through the living room and opened the door. An unexpected person was standing outside.

He Tingzhou put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his eyes slowly moved across his haggard face: "Surprised?"

There was a lot of surprise, but no joy. Shen Yu said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you had a high fever and were unconscious, so I specially put down my work to come visit you. Don't be too moved." He Tingzhou walked in uninvited and walked straight past him.

Shen Yu closed the door and turned around, and He Tingzhou pointed the gun at his forehead with his right hand.

Beep, beep—the forehead thermometer sounded an alarm. He Tingzhou took a look and saw that the temperature was 38.9 degrees. What if Shuang Xu saw this?

He was not very satisfied with the number: "It's quite good at cooking."

Shen Yu: “…”
