Chapter 37 Fever
The deputy director insisted: "Let's give it a try. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. At least we tried."
Mu Yuan's face was full of resistance: "If you want to invite someone, go and invite them yourself."
The deputy dean said: "I wasn't the one in conflict with him, so why should I go?"
Mu Yuan was speechless: "If you are really that free, come and help me change the flower pot."
The deputy dean was very disappointed: "Tsk, if you don't dare to go, I will go with you!"
Why wouldn't she be afraid to go? They lived under the same roof, and legally he was still her husband...
It’s not that she doesn’t dare to go, it’s that she doesn’t want to go.
Mu Yuan had a rebellious thought, but it was just a thought, and it was impossible to say it.
"...You won't give up until you hit the wall, right?"
"Of course!" the Vice Dean said, lowering his voice to advise, "Now that Chen Zhoufeng is no longer a competitor, you should seize the opportunity and build a good relationship with the group. Then, you'll have total control over the group! You'll undoubtedly be the group's star researcher. Only then will you reach the pinnacle of your life. Don't just focus on experiments all the time. Interpersonal relationships are the most important part of your career."
She understood the reason, but she just didn't want to.
Mu Yuan still refused to go, but the deputy dean insisted and almost forced her to come to the group.
Seeing the person from a distance, Han Zhu quickly stood up.
"Mu... Gong?"
Before Mu Yuan could speak, the deputy director couldn't wait: "Hello, Assistant Han, um, is Mr. Huo in there?"
"Hello, Vice Dean, Mr. Huo is here." He answered, but his eyes were looking at Mu Yuan.
The deputy dean hurriedly pushed Mu Yuan and lowered his voice: "Hurry! Come in! You go in first, I'll wait outside. If there is any problem, I will come right away!"
"I……"
The words she wanted to refuse were still stuck in her throat when the alert Han Zhu knocked on the door.
“…” Mu Yuan’s bright almond-shaped eyes were rarely filled with speechlessness.
Seeing that the door was almost open, Mu Yuan had no choice but to go in.
Just as his heels touched the ground, he heard Assistant Han quickly close the door behind him.
Mu Yuan: ...Is Han Zhu afraid that others don’t know that she and Huo Min have a personal relationship?
Huo Min didn't sit at the desk.
When I turned my sight, I saw that the door of the small room was ajar.
Are you sleeping?
At this point? ?
"Huo Min?" She called softly, but heard no response.
After hesitating for two seconds, he walked forward and gently pushed open the door of the small room.
The curtains were tightly closed, and the room was dark and opaque.
There was a big bulge in the quilt.
"Huo Min?" She tried calling out again, but the other party didn't move at all.
She walked forward in confusion, only to see that his eyes were tightly closed, his brows were furrowed, his face was slightly blue, and he was obviously in great discomfort.
Mu Yuan's heart sank, and she hurried forward: "Huo Min? Huo Min? What's wrong with you?"
She sensed something and quickly placed the back of her hand on his forehead.
Hot.
He has a fever.
Mu Yuan was so anxious that she felt like a fire was ignited in her heart.
She hurriedly opened the office door, her eyebrows knitted tightly together: "Han Zhu, do you have any medicine to reduce the fever?!"
Even when President Huo got caught in the rain last time, she had never been so anxious. Han Zhu was stunned for a few seconds and immediately replied, "Yes, is it President Huo...?"
"It's him."
The deputy dean came back to his senses from his confusion: "Ah?! Mr. Huo has a fever?"
He didn't say anything, so Mu Yuan automatically ignored him and said politely, "Deputy Dean, you go back first. I'll stay and help. As for your illness, don't tell anyone. He's the president after all, and he needs to save face."
The deputy hospital director immediately lowered his voice, "I understand, I understand. We shouldn't publicize illnesses! Then... you're fine too! Stay and take care of him! Inspire him! Let him know your sincerity! I'll make use of you in the future!"
She said perfunctorily: "Yeah, go back quickly."
The deputy dean was tricked into leaving.
Han Zhu also went to get medicine.
Mu Yuan hurriedly closed the door, paced back and forth, and decided to cool Huo Min down physically first.
She wet his towel with cold water, folded it into a small square, and started wiping him from his forehead.
Huo Min, who was awakened by the cold, finally slowly opened his scarlet eyes.
The displeasure in his eyes suddenly froze when he saw the person coming.
It only takes a few seconds to go from being surprised to being confused.
Seeing him staring at her, Mu Yuan stopped wiping and looked worried: "I'm sorry for waking you up, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
He didn't say anything, just stared at her.
He didn't say anything, and Mu Yuan became even more worried. Could he have gone crazy from the burn?
"How about I take you to the hospital?" She didn't realize it, but her voice was soft and coaxing.
It was so soft that Huo Min's heart collapsed.
There were footsteps behind.
Mu Yuan hurriedly turned around and stood up.
However, his wrist was immediately grabbed tightly.
That circle of skin was scorching hot.
"Don't go." His voice was so hoarse that it was annoying.
Mu Yuan was stunned, her heart trembled, and she quickly comforted him in a gentle voice: "I'm not leaving."
His face looked a little hopeful.
As soon as Han Zhu came in, he saw the two of them holding hands, and Huo Min stared at Mu Yuan without blinking.
His black eyes were full of dependence.
Han Zhu hurriedly looked away, his eyes burning with pain, and handed over the thing in his hand: "Madam, this is fever-reducing medicine."
Mu Yuan turned her wrist awkwardly, trying to break free.
But Huo Min's grip was too strong, she couldn't break free and had to give up.
She reached out to take the medicine, her face still worried. "Thank you. I want to take him to the hospital. He has a high fever and is not responding well."
He just kept staring at her, it was so wrong.
"Ah?" Han Zhu happened to meet Huo Min's deep gaze.
Han Zhu, the smart guy, said, "It's usually like this when you have a fever. I think we should take some medicine first and then observe for a while."
Mu Yuan turned around and glanced at Huo Min.
Huo Min finally said in a hoarse voice: "I'll take medicine."
Now that he got a response, the stone in Mu Yuan's heart felt a little lighter.
Compromise: "Okay, then take the medicine first and see if it will feel better."
She studied the instructions for the medicine, then broke off the medicine plate: "Han Zhu, could you please pour me a glass of warm water?"
"OK!"
Mu Yuan took the cup of warm water and carefully poured some onto the back of her hand to feel the temperature.
Seeing this scene, Huo Min's eyes were filled with tenderness.
"It's not hot. Try adding some cold water."
"Need not."
Huo Min cooperated and took the warm water. Under her concerned gaze, he took a sip and swallowed the medicine.
Seeing him lying down again, Mu Yuan whispered, "Does your head hurt?"
"No." After drinking some water, the hoarseness in his voice lessened a little.
"Sleep a little longer." She took the initiative to tuck in the quilt for him.
Huo Min's heart melted.
He refused to close his eyes and just stared at her.
Mu Yuan was helpless: "Don't you want to sleep?"
Huo Min: "Are you leaving?"
So he didn't close his eyes because he was worried that he would leave?
Mu Yuan was shocked by his own guess.
"I'll wait until you're okay..."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Huo Min said in a deep voice, "I have something to do."
Mu Yuan blinked in confusion: "?"
Han Zhu looked like "Should I leave or should I leave or should I leave?"
He thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Boss Huo, what about the meeting at noon..."
Mu Yuan reacted faster than Huo Min, frowning and turning away: "He's already like this, can't we have a meeting?"
Huo Min's eyes flickered slightly, and he straightened his body: "Open as usual."
Mu Yuan's face was solemn, and for the first time he said sternly, "What are you opening?"
Huo Min's expression froze.
She held up three fingers and said seriously, "Tell me first, what is this?"
"three?"
Mu Yuan pressed his shoulders and pushed him back mercilessly, saying in a rather overbearing manner: "You are wrong. You are delirious due to the fever and cannot attend the meeting."
Huo Min was stunned for a moment, and then a lingering smile appeared in his eyes.
How can she be so cute.
This is the first time I’ve seen their wife act so domineering.
Han Zhu was amazed.
Sadly, within two seconds, Mu Yuan asked back in a clear voice, "Aren't you busy?"
I never thought that one day I would be driven away by Mu Yuan.
Han Zhu was a little skeptical about life, but he didn't want to be a light bulb anymore: "Busy! Then I'll go out first. If you have any questions, you can call me anytime."
