Jiang Hua was taken aback by Gu Yiming's actions, and the disposable cup in her hand fell to the ground. Looking at the glucose spilled all over the floor, Jiang Hua pouted with heartache.
"Jiang Hua, what's wrong? What happened? Why did you suddenly fall ill? Is it serious? Why didn't you tell me?" Gu Yiming released his grip on Jiang Hua, placing one hand on her shoulder and gently stroking her pale face with the other. He asked her with a mixture of heartache and anxiety.
Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming with a blank expression. Was this still the same icy Gu Yiming? Why was he suddenly so talkative? "Why are you suddenly asking so many questions? Which one should I answer first?"
"Tell me, how are you?" Gu Yiming gently stroked Jiang Hua's cheek, and casually brushed the stray hairs from her cheek behind her ear.
Jiang Hua shrank her neck, feeling uncomfortable.
"I'm fine now, I just had a fever. I went to the school clinic yesterday and fainted, so Ji Kexin brought me to the hospital." Jiang Hua felt Gu Yiming's gentleness and concern, so different from his usual icy demeanor. Although Jiang Hua wasn't entirely used to this side of Gu Yiming, she was still very pleased.
"How high is your fever? How are you now?" Gu Yiming placed his hand on Jiang Hua's forehead when he heard her say she had a fever.
"Um... well... the nurse said I had a fever of 39.7 degrees Celsius yesterday, but it's gone now and I'm completely fine." Gu Yiming placed his warm palm on Jiang Hua's forehead, startled when he heard her say that she had a fever of 39.7 degrees Celsius yesterday.
"Why was your fever so high? Is it really completely gone?" Gu Yiming's face was full of concern, which warmed Jiang Hua's heart. Even after Jiang Hua said that her fever had completely subsided, Gu Yiming was still a little worried. He leaned forward, cradled the back of Jiang Hua's head, and pressed his lips to her forehead.
Jiang Hua's face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato. (? ???w??? ?)?
She never expected that Gu Yiming, who was always indifferent to everyone, would care about her so much. He even kissed her forehead—wasn't this a scene that only appeared in romantic idol dramas? Although Gu Yiming always had a stern face, upon closer inspection, he was actually quite handsome, with striking eyebrows and a dashing appearance.
Could Gu Yiming also have a fever? Gu Yiming seems particularly strange today. Jiang Hua thought to herself.
If Gu Yiming knew what Jiang Hua was thinking at this moment, he would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood and die. Luckily, he didn't know what Jiang Hua was thinking.
After Gu Yiming felt the temperature of Jiang Hua's forehead against his lips, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely relieved. Sure enough, the fever had subsided, and her body temperature had returned to normal.
"It's good that your fever has gone down." Gu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. "Why didn't you contact me? I was waiting for you to come online, but I couldn't see you. I also heard from your classmate that you came to the hospital. It really gave me a fright."
"Um... I wanted to contact you after I woke up. I was about to call you when I realized my phone was dead. I was thinking of borrowing Ji Kexin's phone to call you, but Kexin didn't bring her phone either. Kexin had just gone out to ask a nurse for a phone for me when you arrived."
"Okay. Remember to call me next time if you feel even slightly unwell. Got it?" Gu Yiming earnestly instructed Jiang Hua. "I was so worried waiting for you, I was thinking something had really happened to you."
At this moment, Jiang Hua finally realized what was happening. Seeing how worried Gu Yiming was about her, she felt warm inside, both happy and touched. Suddenly, she remembered that she had stood Gu Yiming up and made him wait for her for so long, and she felt extremely guilty.
"I'm so sorry for making you wait so long. I didn't want to stand you up. I even made you skip class to come see me. Thank you." Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming pitifully, twisting the hem of her clothes in her hands. "I'm fine now, and my fever has gone down. You should go back to school quickly, or you'll lose credits if you're caught skipping class."
"It's alright, silly girl." Gu Yiming's heart melted instantly when he saw Jiang Hua's beautiful, pale face filled with guilt and grievance. "Don't worry, I already asked the instructor for leave before coming. You won't lose any credits. You just recovered from your fever and need someone to take care of you. I'll stay here with you." As Gu Yiming spoke, he reached out and gently ruffled Jiang Hua's hair, stroking her soft locks, inhaling her fresh, youthful scent, and gazing at her adorable face. Gu Yiming suddenly wished time could stop, allowing him to quietly protect this lovely, pure, beautiful, and kind silly girl. This was the person he loved most.
"Jiang Hua, I've borrowed your phone!" Ji Kexin's voice came before she even entered the ward. As soon as Ji Kexin stepped into the ward, she saw Gu Yiming sitting beside Jiang Hua's bed, one hand on Jiang Hua's shoulder, the other ruffling her hair. Jiang Hua's face was still flushed.
Ji Kexin froze on one foot as she stepped into the ward, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have.
"Kexin, you're back." Jiang Hua peeked out from under Gu Yiming's arm and looked at Ji Kexin at the door of the ward.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm back. Too bad I came back at the wrong time~ I'm off, I'm off~~" Ji Kexin teased the two of them while looking at her phone. "I lent this phone for nothing, even though I said a lot of nice things to the nurse. Sigh." Ji Kexin finished speaking and turned to leave the ward, leaving the two of them alone. It felt like pink heart-shaped bubbles were floating all over the room.
"Ugh, I've been running around doing all this for people, taking care of patients, worrying about them, buying them food, answering their phones! And now I get to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)! What kind of world is this!" Ji Kexin muttered to herself as she walked towards the nurses' station. Despite her words, she was secretly happy for Jiang Hua. It seemed Gu Yiming truly cared about Jiang Hua; without telling her anything, he had managed to find the hospital and Jiang Hua's room on his own. He had definitely put in the effort.
"I'd better just go and chat with the beautiful and kind nurses." Ji Kexin sighed. She felt both happy and helpless after being subjected to this display of affection.
Ji Kexin's interruption made the atmosphere in the ward instantly awkward.
After returning the phone to the nurse, Ji Kexin did not return to the ward to disturb Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming again.
