"have no idea."
Several female classmates shook their heads.
"I'm not quite sure what the relationship between Zhou Xiaoxiao and Lin Can is. I only know that they had a 'honeymoon period' last semester, but then they hit the 'seven-year itch'."
"Now this is... itchy again?"
A female classmate with short hair said.
The others burst out laughing.
…
On the playground.
Zhou Xiaoxiao struggled to support Lin Can towards the school gate. "The infirmary's medical skills aren't good enough. I'll take you to the hospital. How come you suddenly have a high fever?"
"Wu Luo and I went to the mountains near my hometown for a barbecue on the weekend. It rained heavily, so we stayed in the car all night. I guess we got cold after taking off our clothes."
"You guys were in the car... Wow..." Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly didn't feel sorry for Lin Can at all. It turned out that he and Wu Luo were looking for excitement in the car, caught a cold in the heavy rain, and now he has a high fever.
They are just having fun and looking for excitement. Now they have a cold, should I take them to the hospital?
I really want to just leave Lin Can on the playground.
But seeing him so sick now feels so pitiful, so I have to bear with it, after all, he is Wu Luo’s boyfriend.
…
On the roadside at the school gate.
There were no flower beds around, so Zhou Xiaoxiao could only hold Lin Can's waist with both hands to support him while watching if the taxi was coming.
Seeing Lin Can shudder, Zhou Xiaoxiao asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel cold all over."
"You have a bad cold."
Zhou Xiaoxiao hugged Lin Can a little tighter and used her body to keep him warm.
"Is this better?"
"Much better, Xiaoxiao, you're so good."
Lin Can looked down at the girl who was holding him. Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't look at him. She turned around, stopped a taxi, and helped Lin Can into the car.
"Master, go to the People's Hospital."
As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Lin Can leaned his head against her shoulder. Zhou Xiaoxiao turned her head and touched his forehead with her cheek. It felt even hotter than before. Zhou Xiaoxiao turned sideways and held Lin Can's face with both hands: "Is it uncomfortable?"
“I feel like my brain is going to explode.”
"You go to sleep first."
"Um."
Lin Can fell on Zhou Xiaoxiao's shoulder again.
…
After a while.
After arriving at the People's Hospital, Zhou Xiaoxiao paid the fare, woke Lin Can up, helped him into the car, and went to get an emergency number.
Lin Can told the doctor about his symptoms, and the doctor said, "It's the flu, with a high fever. An injection will work quickly."
“No injections!”
Lin Can said firmly.
Zhou Xiaoxiao advised: "Listen to the doctor and get an injection."
"No fighting!" Lin Can was very determined and would not stand shaken.
"Are you...afraid of injections?" Zhou Xiaoxiao sneered when she saw Lin Can's expression, but stopped immediately. Boys care about their reputation, so she didn't laugh at him.
Doctor: "No injections, then I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go home and take it and have a good sleep."
The doctor prescribed some medicine. Zhou Xiaoxiao went to get it and helped Lin Can out of the hospital. "Are you going back to the dormitory or home?"
"Go home so as not to infect them." Lin Can was really depressed now. He didn't want to think about anything and just wanted to go home and sleep.
After taking a taxi back to Boqi Garden, Zhou Xiaoxiao helped Lin Can to lie down in the bedroom. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her face. She was so tired.
But he didn't rest. Instead, he went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, mixed some medicine, and brought the medicine to the master bedroom.
"Lin Can, don't sleep yet. Get up and take your medicine." Zhou Xiaoxiao helped Lin Can up and leaned against the headboard, handing him the granules and the medicine in her hand. "Do you want to swallow them all at once, or take them one by one?"
"It stinks. What kind of medicine is this?" Lin Can said with disgust.
"This is what licorice slices taste like. Eat it."
“I only drink the powder.”
"No! You must take medicine." Zhou Xiaoxiao spread her hand to Lin Can's mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat. I have no strength left. Please feed me."
"Okay, okay, I'll feed you!" Zhou Xiaoxiao gave Lin Can an annoyed look and fed the pills one by one into his mouth. "Ah~ You bit my hand."
"Sorry, are you done eating? I'm going to sleep after you finish eating."
"Go to sleep."
Lin Can covered himself with the quilt and curled up into a ball.
Zhou Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to wash the cups. She looked at the time and saw it was past ten o'clock. After a moment's hesitation, she called her mother and asked, "Mom, did you add lard to the pumpkin porridge you made when I was sick last time?"
"Just add some lard and cook it slowly over low heat. You'll be fine after eating it. Why are you asking this? You have a cold. Come home and let mom take a look."
"It's not me, it's a classmate of mine who has a cold. He's from Yunchuan. I'm asking you if you're okay. Bye."
Zhou Xiaoxiao hung up the phone to avoid her mother asking questions.
Afterwards, Zhou Xiaoxiao went out for a while, bought some pumpkin and millet, and came back to cook the porridge. Then, she heard a "dong~" sound coming from the master bedroom. Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly turned the fire to the minimum, ran over, and kept complaining that the house was too big and she needed to run!
Pushing open the door of the master bedroom, I saw Lin Can's hand stretched out from the quilt and resting on the edge of the bed. There was a fallen bedside lamp on the ground.
"What are you looking for?" Zhou Xiaoxiao picked up the small lamp and put it back in its place.
"Press the air conditioner switch next to you and turn up the temperature. It's cold."
"Is it cold?"
"It's freezing cold. It's so uncomfortable."
"But the air conditioner is already very hot and can't be adjusted any higher. I'm going to lie on my side and wrap myself in another blanket."
"No, it's useless anyway."
Lin Can frowned, huddled under the quilt, covered his head, and continued to sleep.
It wasn't cold at the end of April, but Lin Can had a bad cold and now felt terribly cold and shivered constantly.
Zhou Xiaoxiao experienced this kind of cold shivering the last time she caught a cold. She cried because of the cold and insisted that her mother Zhou come to bed and hold her to sleep.
