fever?
Shen Yuhuai's coat covered Chen Qizhao's body. The mint scent that came over him made Chen Qizhao's brain freeze for a moment. He took a moment to understand what Shen Yuhuai meant.
Chen Qizhao touched his forehead belatedly. Was he really having a fever? Why do I have a fever?
The word "sick" was a little unfamiliar to Chen Qizhao. After becoming a loner in his previous life, he had been sick only a few times, except for being hospitalized for gastric bleeding. The consequence of being sick was that he would be unable to handle his work for several days or even weeks, and he had too little room for error in his life, so he could not get sick.
He had a certain understanding of his body, and after his rebirth he retained some habits and continued to exercise, so when faced with this severe fever, his brain did not react immediately.
When turning on the lights, Chen Shiming also noticed something strange about Chen Qizhao. He left the office and asked Special Assistant Xu to prepare the car, and then he went to the company's lounge to find a temporary thermometer. When I returned to the room, I saw Shen Yuhuai wrapping Chen Qizhao with his coat, and holding warm water for the other party to drink more water.
"Thermometer." Chen Shiming handed the thing over.
Shen Yuhuai put the cup of warm water on the table, unbuttoned Chen Qizhao's coat slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Raise your hands, we'll take your temperature."
Chen Shiming stood by and watched. Chen Qizhao lowered his head and quietly followed Shen Yuhuai's actions to clamp the thermometer under his armpit. His hair was a little messy and his cheeks were red from the fever. Judging from his performance, he should have had a fever for a while. Chen Shiming lowered his eyes slightly, feeling a surge of regret. He had just been discussing aromatherapy with Chen Qizhao, and all he could think about was what roles Lin and Lin Shizhong played in these matters. He didn't notice that something was wrong with Chen Qizhao's condition.
If he had stopped the discussion to turn on the light, he would have noticed the signs of Chen Qizhao's fever, or he should have discovered it earlier. At that time, he thought that Chen Qizhao was just like he always was, always speaking in a sarcastic tone. But now thinking back on the conversation just now, he found that there was some illogicality in Chen Qizhao's words. Perhaps he was already feeling unwell at that time.
Shen Yuhuai's coat was large, almost wrapping up Chen Qizhao's entire body.
The more Chen Shiming looked at him, the more he realized that his younger brother seemed a little thin. He closed his eyes slightly, and quickly reviewed the various changes that Chen Qizhao had undergone during this period of time in his mind, trying to find any clues of his changes under the disguise of this person, but there were none. It seemed that Chen Qizhao had suddenly grown into his current appearance since some time ago.
“39.2 degrees, we have to go to the hospital.” Shen Yuhuai took out the thermometer with a serious expression.
"I asked Xiao Xu to prepare a car. Now we can contact the doctor at the nearby hospital." Chen Shiming simply unbuttoned one button of his suit jacket, bent down and squatted in front of Shen Yuhuai, and said, "I'll carry him on my back and go over now."
Chen Qizhao was a little slow to react. By the time he realized that his fever had reached 39 degrees, he was already lying on Chen Shiming's back.
When he rested his head on Chen Shiming's neck, he smelled the men's perfume that Chen Shiming often used. He was not very steady when he walked, as he was completely covered in Shen Yuhuai's coat and could not get out of the wind. He could hear the vibration of Chen Shiming's body when he spoke, and listened to the voices getting farther and farther away.
He suddenly remembered that Chen Shiming hadn't carried him on his back for a long time.
It seemed like a long, long time ago, he broke his knee while playing with others. Chen Shiming, who always had a stern face, came back from school and scolded him, then squatted in front of him and carried him on his back to find the housekeeper to bandage his wound.
When they arrived at the hospital corridor, Chen Qizhao was sitting in the emergency room receiving an IV drip, and Chen Shiming was still discussing the follow-up matters regarding the fever with the doctor.
Chen Qizhao blinked. The confusion caused by the high fever became more and more severe. He could not think about other things like before. Now, when he tried to think, he always felt a sense of disconnection. The dizziness and chills became more and more severe. At this time, a hand reached out from the side and protected him steadily.
“If you feel sleepy, just lean on it and sleep.” Shen Yuhuai explained, “You are in good condition. You can go home and rest after the infusion is finished.”
From his angle, he could only see Chen Qizhao's profile. His eyelids were drooping, as if they were half-open due to discomfort. The whole person was like a small animal in urgent need of warmth, gradually shrinking towards him.
Shen Yuhuai was worried that his movements would touch the hand that was receiving the infusion, so he had to slightly adjust the position of the coat on him, buttoned up a few buttons, and used his warm palms to warm Chen Qizhao's arm, which was slightly cold due to the infusion. But that was not really cold. The man had a high fever and his whole body was hot. Even the hot air he exhaled was frightening.
At this time, Shen Yuhuai suddenly noticed that Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped on the back of his hand.
Chen Qizhao felt the difficulty in breathing caused by the high fever. After feeling the chills, he felt the heat running around. The high temperature caused by the fever made him feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to shrink into warm clothes, but also wanted to find other sources of coolness. It wasn't long before his attention was focused on Shen Yuhuai's hand. The temperature of the other person was lower than his body temperature, especially the back of his hand, which seemed very cold.
Without thinking about the offense, he grabbed the back of the other person's hand with his non-IV hand.
Shen Yuhuai's eyes were startled, he did not move, and quietly looked at the hand clasped on the back of his hand.
A hot feeling came from the place where the two of them were connected. For a moment, Shen Yuhuai couldn't tell whether it was Chen Qizhao's body temperature or his illusion. The faster and faster heartbeat forced Shen Yuhuai to stay calm. He held his breath for a while and asked softly: "Qizhao?"
The warm palm was clasped on the other's arm, and the cool feeling seemed to come from the palm, making Chen Qizhao feel a little comfortable.
But he soon became dissatisfied with this small piece of coolness, he grabbed Shen Yuhuai's hand, and finally put the cool hand against his hot cheek, he rubbed it, liking this cool touch, it seemed that he felt that the hot breath was a little more comfortable.
But soon, the coldness on the back of his hand seemed to be less and less obvious, and Chen Qizhao felt dizzy from the fever.
He put down his hand, and his blank eyes lingered on the back of Shen Yuhuai's hand for a moment, as if trying to judge whether the hand in front of him was still useful.
At this time, another hand reached out from the side.
The man's voice rang in his ears.
"It's just cold." Shen Yuhuai said.
Chen Qizhao was stunned, as if he was still trying to judge what the other person said, and did not move.
Shen Yuhuai raised his hand slightly, imitating Chen Qizhao’s action just now, and put the back of his hand on his face.
Chen Qizhao leaned on Shen Yuhuai's shoulder and felt the cool touch, but he was soon dissatisfied. He always felt that the cool touch could only stay aside, and his hot breathing became heavier and heavier.
"Touch me."
Shen Yuhuai's hand paused for a moment, "What?"
"Touch me." Chen Qizhao was so dizzy from the fever that he wished the other person's hand could be split in half. He rubbed Chen Yuhuai's hand with the other side of his face, "It's hot."
Chen Yuhuai's eyes deepened slightly, worried that the other party might move and pull the infusion tube.
He met the other party's request, "Okay."
When Chen Shiming and Special Assistant Xu came back from getting the medicine, they saw Chen Qizhao sitting in the emergency room, soundly asleep. He was leaning on Shen Yuhuai, with half of his face buried in his clothes, his breathing was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and his face was red.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Shiming sat down next to him and used his hand to test Chen Qizhao's temperature, but it seemed that his temperature had not yet dropped. "I contacted the family doctor. After the infusion is finished here, I will go home directly. They will prepare the infusion medicine there, and it will be convenient for care at home."
It was the first time that Special Assistant Xu saw the Second Young Master become so obedient when he was sick. The last time he saw his boss so anxious was when the Little Bully was drugged at the Lin Family Charity Gala. And today, his boss was obviously very anxious as well, and he kept urging the driver to go faster on the way. He sighed secretly in his heart. The two brothers might quarrel, but they would become anxious when one of them got sick.
He was wondering if there was anything else he needed to deal with first, when his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of Mr. Shen’s slightly red ears, who was sitting next to the Second Young Master.
Special Assistant Xu asked doubtfully, "Is Mr. Shen hot?"
“Not bad.” Shen Yuhuai was only wearing a sweater.
Special Assistant Xu nodded and looked at the closed glass door on the other side of the emergency room.
Yes, this place is not well ventilated, so it might be stuffy.
-*
The infusion lasted for a total of three hours. It was already past nine o'clock since he got off work. Special Assistant Xu took the initiative to go to a nearby restaurant to buy food, but after the food was delivered, the two people guarding the second young master seemed to have no appetite. After the infusion, Chen Shiming drove the person home without notifying his family in advance. It was only when he got home that Chen's parents learned that Chen Qizhao had a fever.
There were too many things happening in the group today, and Jiang Yuze’s matter was very troublesome to deal with. Chen Jianhong looked tired, and felt a little dizzy when he heard that Chen Qizhao had a fever, so he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to get some antihypertensive drugs.
Zhang Yazhi's eyes turned red with anxiety. She asked the housekeeper to prepare things, and then watched Shen Yuhuai carry Chen Qizhao into the room and cover him with a warm quilt.
"Why did you suddenly have a fever?" Zhang Yazhi asked.
"I asked Xiao Zhou, he slept in the office for a whole day without covering himself with more clothes." Chen Shiming looked a little tired, "Maybe he caught a cold at that time, it's also my fault, I didn't notice his problem at the time..." He stopped talking halfway, sleeping in the office for a day might be an external cause, but the changes in Chen Qizhao's body during this period were not false. He also did some minor tests such as blood routine tests in the hospital, and the doctor said that his body was not very healthy.
The family never treated Chen Qizhao badly in terms of food and drink, and he had no idea how Chen Qizhao had gotten his body into this state.
"Let the child have a good rest." Chen Jianhong said, "Everyone go out first. Lao Zhang, have you asked the doctor to come over?"
Chen Shiming said: "I have instructed him to give her an IV drip at the hospital to see if her fever goes down tonight."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Jianhong who was standing next to him, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Dad, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Zhang Yazhi was completely focused on her child and would go to the room to take a look from time to time.
Shen Yuhuai stayed at Chen's house for a while, and when he saw that Chen Qizhao was already asleep, he got up and said goodbye.
"Yu Huai, thank you so much for this time." Zhang Yazhi said, "Come to my house for dinner some other day. You can't refuse. It's a deal."
Shen Yuhuai nodded, and Zhang Yazhi asked the family driver to take him there.
At that time, he was in a hurry to go to the hospital, and Shen Yuhuai’s car is still parked in the underground garage of Chen’s headquarters building.
After seeing them off, Zhang Yazhi went back to the room to take a look. When she came out, she asked the housekeeper, "Jianhong and the others haven't come out yet?"
"Yes, sir, they said no one is allowed to disturb them," said the butler.
"Oh, what's going on?" Zhang Yazhi sighed. Her child was sick, and her husband and son's company had problems. "Who would have thought that Xiao Jiang would be that kind of person... Why bother?"
In the Chen family's study, Chen Jianhong listened to Chen Shiming's report with a sullen face. He closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be in a very heavy mood. "Really... the matter of aromatherapy has not been found out yet?"
"I have asked someone to investigate privately. The aromatherapy involves a wide range of issues. I haven't told my mother about this." Chen Shiming didn't dare to say it. He was afraid that if Zhang Yazhi knew that the aromatherapy she had prepared for the family during this period had such a big problem, given his mother's personality, she would probably blame herself very much.
There are actually a lot of people who can come into contact with aromatherapy. The first is the aromatherapy shop responsible for making the aromatherapy, the second is the drivers and servants who can enter and exit the garage at home, and the third is the parking lot workers who do regular maintenance in the garage. It will take some time to investigate this line in detail, but what we can find out is that the other party really wants the lives of his family, and this person is most likely his father's long-time friend Lin Shizhong.
Chen Jianhong closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about everything Chen Shiming had just said, and asked: "Xiao Zhao has always known about this, right?"
He thought about the several times when Jiang Yuze came home and Chen Qizhao had clearly expressed his dislike for him. At the time, he thought that the child was just being naughty and judging people by their appearance, or maybe Chen Qizhao was already testing their attitudes at that time.
Chen Shiming had talked about Chen Qizhao some time ago. At that time, he said that Chen Qizhao might not be as simple as he seemed, so he discussed with Shiming to let the child come to the headquarters for training. If the child is smart, he can get rid of his impetuous character sooner... But now, according to what Chen Shiming said, the car accident, the aromatherapy... and the matter with Jiang Yuze were most likely the work of Chen Qizhao.
He didn't know how much the kid had done, but once he peeled off the shell of the truth, he realized that some things were shocking.
"Dad, I didn't want to tell us before, maybe because I took into account the close relationship between Lin Shizhong and our family." Chen Shiming noticed his father's expression, "He said it directly because he was worried that we wouldn't believe him, but now things have come to this point. I don't know what Lin Shizhong's purpose is, but our relationship with the Lin family can never go back to the way it was before."
Car accidents, aromatherapy, this is murder.
Chen Jianhong was in a complicated mood. After accepting the betrayal of his assistant Jiang Yuze, he suddenly realized that he had been too trusting of his friends and subordinates in the past. Even if he didn't believe it, the ironclad facts in front of him made him unconvinced. He made up his mind: "Investigate, and get everything clear."
Chen Qizhao had a fever that lasted for three days. During those three days, he was in a daze and the time he was awake was far less than the time he was asleep. Zhang Yazhi was very anxious. Every time she saw Chen Qizhao's temperature drop and then rise again, she was so anxious that she wanted to keep the family doctor next to Chen Qizhao and keep an eye on the child all the time. Fortunately, on the third day, Chen Qizhao's temperature finally stabilized, from a high fever to a low fever, and he gradually regained consciousness.
After sleeping for too long, Chen Qizhao felt as if his body was about to fall apart, and he could feel muscle soreness with the slightest movement.
Food had no taste and he had a headache when he sat up. It had been a long time since he had such a serious illness. Until the fourth day, Chen Qizhao's reactions were still a little slow. He lay in bed listening to Zhang Yazhi's nagging. For the first time, he didn't have the energy to argue with her. Moreover, when he heard her muttering, he always felt nostalgic.
Chen Qizhao told himself that he should cherish it, because at least he could still hear Zhang Yazhi's nagging when he was sick in this life.
"Yu Huai came to see you two days ago, but you were asleep the whole time, and the kid left after coming for a while." Zhang Yazhi said, "He also told me about some ingredients and talked to the housekeeper for a while, saying that you should take good care of yourself after you recover from your illness. You didn't even notice how much weight you have lost during this period."
She couldn't help but say, "Mom has been very worried during this period."
Chen Qizhao bowed his head slightly: "Sorry."
"What are you apologizing for?" Zhang Yazhi slapped his hand in dissatisfaction. After that, she couldn't bear it anymore. She looked at the needle hole on the back of his hand due to the excessive infusion. "Look at you. You got sick and the back of your hand turned blue. Will you dare to do it again next time? Can't you pay more attention to your health? How worried your family will be when you are sick."
Chen Qizhao didn't say anything and just listened quietly to Zhang Yazhi's nagging.
"When you get better in a couple of days, our whole family will go for a physical examination." Zhang Yazhi said, "This time your brother and your father insisted that you go with us. You scared them when you got sick. They didn't do a physical examination this year, so we must take a good look this time."
Chen Qizhao listened in silence, and the burden on his heart was inexplicably relieved.
The car accident was resolved, the aromatherapy issue was also figured out, and the only thing left was the damn Lin Shizhong. He was thinking about what would happen next. Now that Jiang Yuze was exposed, Lin Shizhong must be eager to cover up all the information about Jiang Yuze. An old fox like him could not only have Jiang Yuze as his chess piece. This time he was seriously injured, and the other party should take the opportunity to act and reorganize.
This is a good time point. While Lin Shizhong is busy and confused, we can follow Jiang Yuze's clues to dig out all the things Lin Shizhong has done. Chen Qizhao had done such a thing once in his previous life. In his previous life, he had made Lin Shizhong disgraced and thrown into prison. In this life, he could do it again and let Lin Shizhong go in "gloriously" to accompany Jiang Yuze.
What's more, now Lin Shizhong is not as difficult to deal with as he will be ten years later, and the Chen family is still large and powerful with abundant capital.
If you want to kill Lin Shizhong, that would be even easier.
Chen Qizhao was just thinking about it when he was suddenly struck on the forehead by an external force.
Zhang Yazhi flicked her finger on her son's forehead and asked, "What are you thinking about, kid?"
"No." Chen Qizhao said casually, "I want to treat Brother Huai to a meal in two days."
When Shen Yuhuai was mentioned, he suddenly found a fragment of memory in his mind, thinking of when he was confused by fever and grabbed the other person's hand to let him touch it... He was so feverish at that time that he had no bottom line, and Shen Yuhuai actually indulged him and let him touch his hands alternately.
Thinking back on it now, that icy touch seems to be still very close.
For some unknown reason, Chen Qizhao's heartbeat quickened.
"Why are you a little blushing?" Zhang Yazhi said.
Chen Qizhao glanced at the closed window and said, "Maybe the air is not circulating. It's a bit stuffy."
"I've been worried about your health these past few days. You got sick from the cold wind." Zhang Yazhi walked over and opened a small gap. "It's just a little gap. Lie down well. I'll go downstairs to see if the soup is ready."
Chen Qizhao retracted his gaze and stopped at Zhang Yazhi's healthy face.
Zhang Yazhi just opened the door and suddenly turned back, "Xiao Zhao."
Chen Qizhao was stunned.
Zhang Yazhi said, "Remember to tell your mother if you have anything on your mind. Don't keep it in your heart."
She said, "It's not good to keep it to yourself. If you have any problem, just tell your family. You can even say something bad about your brother. If he bullies you at work, tell mom."
Chen Qizhao's eyes were slightly startled, and he responded with "OK".
As soon as Zhang Yazhi left, the room returned to silence. Chen Qizhao propped himself up and sat up, his eyes fixed on the door for several minutes before he slowly took out his phone to check the messages he had missed in the past few days. Many people came to ask him about things on VX, and Yan Kailin and others heard that he had a fever and sent him messages for several days in a row to ask if he was feeling better. Chen Qizhao simply replied to the message and scrolled to the top of the chat list, with a red message dot with the number 17 following Shen Yuhuai’s name.
The first message was asking about his health, and the later messages were all links for health care consultation.
Chen Qizhao didn't know what to say in reply, so he stayed on the chat screen for a long time. Finally, he exited, collected an emoticon from Yan Kailin's emoticon package, and sent a cute "thank you" to the other party.
After clearing out the daily messages, he went to check his private emails.
When he discovered the problem with the aromatherapy, he had already commissioned someone else to investigate. The day before yesterday, he received a message from the other party, and because he did not reply, the other party sent it again. Chen Qizhao first replied to the email, and then carefully looked over the results of the investigation. He focused on the source of the aromatherapy. From the other party's survey data, it seemed that this aromatherapy shop served a large customer base, and many people in City S had come to them to get goods. It was unlikely that this shop would deliberately produce toxic aromatherapy.
When Chen Qizhao finished reading the email, it was already dark outside.
He casually turned on the bedside lamp. When he got out of bed, his legs were a little weak and he felt a few needle-like pains on his forehead. He casually put on a coat and walked to the window just in time to see Chen Shiming and Chen Jianhong's cars entering the villa one after another. His eyes stayed on the two cars for a moment, and finally watched them enter the garage... and the driver Lao Lin who briefly appeared in his field of vision.
The sound of the car disappeared and the lights outside dimmed.
Chen Qizhao returned to the bed and after a while he heard footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps quickly became slow, and suddenly stopped when they reached the door of his room.
Chen Qizhao had just covered himself with the quilt when Chen Shiming pushed open the door and walked in with a document in his hand.
"Awake?" He saw Chen Qizhao sitting on the bed and turned on the light in the room.
Chen Qizhao looked at him and saw the file he placed on the bedside table. "Aromatherapy?"
"Well, it's not easy to investigate because there are too many people involved." Chen Shiming stretched out his hand slightly, and when he was about to touch Chen Qizhao, he saw the other party shrink back.
"What are you hiding from?" Chen Shiming touched his head forcefully and noticed the gentle temperature in his palm.
Chen Qizhao glanced at him and asked, "How do you take body temperature like this?"
Chen Shiming: "…What's wrong with me taking your temperature?"
Chen Qizhao was puzzled: "You can ask me first."
Chen Shiming didn't want to argue with the patient, so he glanced at the file and said, "I don't know what the progress is on your side. I've brought a copy of the information that Aromatherapy can find now. Please check if there are any omissions."
Chen Qizhao picked up the document and flipped through it. He knew Chen Shiming's investigation speed. When he saw the information in the document, he knew that the other party had investigated very thoroughly.
Chen Shiming paid attention to Chen Qizhao's expression. He saw that Chen Qizhao had already seen the page of suspects, so he said, "There are many people involved. It's not that easy to check them one by one. The people who go out and come into contact with are mixed. If we want to list the suspects, we can only say that there are more than 10."
Simply put, if we search for these 10 suspects one by one, it would take too much time and there is a high possibility of alerting the suspects.
Chen Shiming hesitated a bit after he finished speaking, but still asked: "Among these people, do you have any important suspects?"
"Yes." Chen Qizhao turned directly to one of the pages and found a photo on a certain ID card that looked very familiar.
He pointed at the man and said, "The driver of our family, Uncle Lin."
