Chapter 059
To make Chu Xia shut up, Lin Xiaohan put down his hand and took the bowl from Chu Xia.
Although he felt dizzy due to the fever, his whole body ached and he was weak, and his mouth tasted bitter and he had no desire to eat, he still had to eat. If he didn't eat, his body would recover more slowly.
He picked up the spoon and ate two mouthfuls of rice porridge, then suddenly said, "Thank you."
No one has taken care of him like this since his mother died.
He doesn't get sick very often, except for a high fever or a cold occasionally, but he takes care of himself.
If you have medicine, take it and get through it. If you don’t have medicine, drink some hot water and just get through it.
Chuxia sat by the bed and didn't leave.
She naturally didn't want to talk about feelings or favors with Lin Xiaohan, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, next time I'm sick, you can take care of me again."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaohan raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xia.
As he ate his porridge with his brows lowered, he said, "No one would curse themselves to get sick."
Chu Xia said indifferently: "Everyone gets sick, it's normal."
When the two of them are together, they always take everything into consideration.
Lin Xiaohan didn't say any more to Chu Xia and quickly finished the porridge in the bowl.
Seeing that Lin Xiaohan had finished his porridge and considering his poor spirits, Chu Xia didn't say anything to him. She simply reached out to take the bowl from his hand, took it to the kitchen to wash it, and then came back with the bowl and the kettle.
In Lin Xiaohan's weak and powerless gaze.
Chuxia put the bowl on the table beside his bed, poured most of the water into it, and brought the bowl to him and said, "This is freshly boiled water. Drink it while it's hot. Then lie down and sleep for a while. I've fed your chickens for you. Don't worry about your classes today. I'll watch them do their homework. I'll put the kettle here for you. If you want to drink some water, get up and pour some yourself."
After hearing these words, Lin Xiaohan looked at Chu Xia for a while.
Seeing him in a daze, Chu Xia pushed the bowl closer to him and reminded him, "Go on."
Lin Xiaohan lowered his gaze, reached out to take the bowl, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
The water is hot, the bowl is hot, his body temperature is hot, and his heart is hot.
I haven't had breakfast yet in early summer.
Lin Xiaohan had taken the medicine, eaten the meal, and drank the hot water, so she didn't stay in his room any longer. She told him to have a good rest and went out to do her own thing.
Lin Xiaohan watched Chuxia go out, watched her close the door and disappear outside.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, slowly drank the remaining water in the bowl, then put the bowl on the table, took off his cotton coat and lay down again.
The body is still running a fever and the pain is still evident.
He lay on the bed, blinking slowly, and unconsciously recalled many things about his mother from his childhood.
After thinking about his mother, he couldn't help but think of early summer.
All he could think about was her appearance and figure as she was busy taking care of him.
***
There was little time left in the morning.
Chuxia went back to the kitchen, quickly finished her breakfast and cleaned up the dishes, then hurried to the school to open the door, went to the office to catch her breath for a few minutes, came out to ring the bell for the morning reading class, and started the day's work.
There are fewer children coming to school today than yesterday.
The child who had taken sick leave before has not yet recovered, and two more people have been asked to take leave.
Chuxia attended her own classes as usual, but when it was Lin Xiaohan's class, she told everyone that Lin Xiaohan was sick and had asked for leave, and then she told everyone a story, or asked everyone to read a book and do homework on their own. If they had any questions, they could ask her privately.
Although Lin Xiaohan took antipyretics in the morning, Chuxia was still concerned about his condition.
After all, a fever can be a big or small problem. If the fever can't be reduced, it's not a small problem.
So during the break after two classes, Chuxia went back to the dormitory to see Lin Xiaohan.
She came back, pushed open the door of Lin Xiaohan's room, and stuck her head in to take a look. She saw Lin Xiaohan lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed. It seemed that he had fallen asleep again, and was sleeping quite soundly.
People who are sick with a fever need rest and sleep the most.
In order to avoid disturbing his rest, Chuxia opened the door and walked very gently.
She walked to the bed, bent down, and reached out to feel the temperature on Lin Xiaohan's forehead.
I stayed there for a while and felt much better than in the morning.
It’s good that the body temperature can be lowered, and I can breathe a sigh of relief in the early summer.
Then she withdrew her hand, turned around and walked out of the dormitory quietly, closing the door behind her.
After the door closed gently.
Lin Xiaohan slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the door.
***
After confirming that Lin Xiaohan's temperature was dropping, Chuxia felt relieved and hurried back to school. She rang the bell on time, took the textbooks and lesson plans to the classroom, and continued the remaining lessons.
The sun slowly rose to the sky.
Children who normally come to school line up to leave the school.
After Chuxia sent everyone away, she locked the office door and returned to the dormitory next door.
The advantage of having a dormitory close by is that you can come back whenever you want.
After returning in early summer, he went to see Lin Xiaohan first.
Not knowing whether he was sleeping or not, she still didn't knock on the door. Instead, she pushed the door open quietly, intending to see the situation first.
This time, after she pushed the door open and looked inside, she was stunned for a moment.
Because this time Lin Xiaohan was not lying on the bed, but was sitting on the edge of the bed putting on his pants, and he also turned around and saw Chu Xia.
“…”
The two looked at each other in this situation.
Chuxia was not panicked, nor was she confused, and she did not even make a fuss.
She silently withdrew her gaze, raised her hands to cover her eyes, pretending that she saw nothing, then gently closed the door, then quickly turned around and ran back to her room.
I heard a door slamming next door.
Lin Xiaohan: “…”
Next door, Chuxia closed the door and sat directly on the edge of the bed.
Then she covered her face with her hands and banged her forehead against the edge of the table, turning her entire cheeks and the backs of her ears red.
After knocking like this for a while, she suddenly heard Lin Xiaohan's voice coming from outside the door. She still sounded a little weak and asked her, "Is the gate of the school yard locked?"
Hearing the voice, Chu Xia hurriedly raised her face and steadied her voice and said, "The door is not locked, but the office is locked."
Lin Xiaohan responded with an “OK” and then turned and left.
Chuxia hesitated for a moment, stood up from the bed, walked to the door and looked out through the crack.
Seeing Lin Xiaohan going to school, she guessed that he must have gone to the bathroom. She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then took two deep breaths to adjust her mood, and raised her hand to fan her face.
Feeling that she was almost adjusted, Chuxia opened the door and went out.
She went to the cellar, got two sweet potatoes, and returned to the kitchen to cook.
Considering that Lin Xiaohan was sick and had a poor appetite, she decided to make something delicious for this meal.
So in addition to the sweet potatoes, she also took two eggs and scooped out some white flour, which she kept in the kitchen but rarely took out to eat.
She washed and peeled two sweet potatoes.
Save the sweet potato skins to feed the chickens, and cut the remaining edible parts into sweet potato cubes on a chopping board, then put them in a pot and cook them in boiling water.
Chuxia put the sweet potatoes in the pot and sat down behind the stove to light the fire when Lin Xiaohan came back from outside. Instead of going back to his dormitory, he went straight to the kitchen.
Seeing Lin Xiaohan enter the kitchen and thinking about what happened just now, Chu Xia's face became hot again.
She suppressed her embarrassment and pretended nothing had happened. She showed her thick skin, smiled and said to Lin Xiaohan, "The smoke in the kitchen is a bit heavy. If you are sick, it must be uncomfortable to smell it. Go and have a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready, or I'll bring it to you."
Lin Xiaohan did not listen to her and go out, but walked up to her instead.
He also acted as if nothing had happened just now, lowered his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xia and said, "I'm still a little cold, I want to warm myself by the fire, let me do it."
Chuxia thought that he was indeed afraid of the cold due to his fever, so it was normal for him to want to warm himself by the fire.
So she quickly responded "Oh", stood up from the small stool, gave up the position behind the stove to him, and stood in front of the stove herself.
Lin Xiaohan sat down behind the stove, his face red from the firelight.
His mental state still seemed to be poor. He looked at the fire in the stove listlessly, blinking slowly, and then added some firewood to the bottom of the stove.
Seeing him like this, Chu Xia no longer worried about what happened just now.
She stretched her head to look at him for a while, and asked him with concern: "Do you feel better now?"
Lin Xiaohan looked at the fire at the bottom of the stove and replied, "Yeah, much better."
When people are sick, they don't even want to talk.
Thinking that Lin Xiaohan was still feeling uncomfortable, Chu Xia didn't say anything else to him.
She stood at the stove waiting for the diced sweet potatoes in the pot to be cooked. She took them out of the pot, drained the water and put them in a large bowl, then added the prepared eggs and flour to the bowl.
Mix the eggs and flour into the diced sweet potatoes, and then scoop out all the hot water in the pot in early summer.
After the bottom of the pan was completely dried, she brushed a thin layer of oil into the pan, then spread the diced sweet potatoes into small pancakes and fry them in the pan. After frying, she placed them one by one on a plate.
The last sweet potato pancake is taken out of the pan and placed on a plate.
Chu Xia tilted her head and said to Lin Xiaohan: "The pancakes are ready, you can turn off the fire and come over to eat."
Lin Xiaohan put out the fire on the stove, stood up, washed his hands and sat down at the table.
Chu Xia pushed the plate of pancakes directly in front of him and said, "I was worried that you would be sick and have no appetite, and you wouldn't be able to eat whole grains, so I made this specially. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Lin Xiaohan didn't say anything. He just picked up the pancake with chopsticks, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.
After chewing it slowly a few times and swallowing it, he raised his eyes and looked towards Chu Xia.

Dependence
Xia looked at him expectantly and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Lin Xiaohan nodded at her, "Yeah."
Chu Xia smiled and said, "Then eat it while it's hot and eat more, so that your body can get better faster."
As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece, brought it to her mouth and took a big bite.
Before she could swallow the food, she heard Lin Xiaohan say, "Let's keep our distance, so that we don't get into any trouble and get taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, causing trouble for each other."
Hearing this, Chuxia slowed down her chewing.
She looked at Lin Xiaohan for a while, then quickly swallowed the cake in her mouth and said seriously, "Oh, okay."
After answering, he lowered his gaze and added an apology: "I'm very sorry for what happened just now. I was afraid that I would disturb you while you were sleeping, so I didn't knock on the door. In the future, I won't enter your room without knocking... No, I won't enter your room again in the future..."
Lin Xiaohan hummed: "I will repay you for what you did today in other ways."
Chu Xia nodded, still lowering her brows and responded: "Okay."
