Chapter 46
Before I could even begin to implement my grand plan to personally kill Fuji Shusuke in thirty years, I fell ill.
They say illness strikes like a mountain, but I didn't believe it. The night before, I was doing my homework when I suddenly started to have a runny nose. I didn't take it seriously, thinking that as long as I went to bed early, I would feel better the next day. However, I ended up feeling dizzy and feverish the next day.
It makes the already not-so-smart brain even more confused.
Seeing that I couldn't get out of bed for a long time, my aunt came up to call me and found that I was curled up in the quilt with a red face.
38.7 degrees.
Aunt Hayami took two days of sick leave for me, gave me fever-reducing medicine, and stayed by my side until my condition stabilized.
There were several calls repeatedly looking for her, as if there was something urgent. I heard her talking on the phone in a daze, but I couldn't hear it clearly. I only heard words like "urgent", "busy", "can't get away"...
I guess she turned down some important work in order to take care of me.
So once my condition stabilized and my mental state recovered a little, I asked Aunt Hayami to go ahead and do her business.
At first, Aunt Hayami was reluctant, worried that I'd be home alone and unattended. But I figured, I'd probably be spending the entire day in my precious big bed—would it even eat me? … Anyway, I managed to convince Aunt Hayami. She left the house, looking back every few steps, and promised to be back before dark.
After she left, I immediately fell asleep again in a daze.
The doorbell rang in the middle.
I subconsciously covered my ears with a pillow, but the doorbell kept ringing. I had no way to ignore it, so I had to roll up my blanket and go downstairs reluctantly.
“Who is it…?”
I opened the door in a somewhat irritated manner, and it turned out to be Senior Fuji. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief.
"Oh my god, why am I still hallucinating because of the fever?"
At this time, Senior Fuji should still be in school... How could he appear at my doorstep?
Then I closed the door with a bang and opened it again, but the illusion was still there.
"Nana, I'm not hallucinating!"
He smiled helplessly.
Wow, it’s really Senior Fuji!
He actually skipped classes for me. He really did. I cried my heart out!
"I didn't skip class, I just asked for leave..."
Then he reached out and touched my forehead.
"Your forehead is still hot. You have a fever again."
Compared to my forehead, his hand was icy cold, as comfortable as the refrigerator's cold storage compartment. When he was about to pull his hand away, I immediately stood on tiptoe and continued to stick to it, using my forehead to rub against it like a kitten frantically begging for more.
"Wuwuwu, don't leave my fully automatic temperature-controlled humanoid air conditioner..."
Fuji Shusuke: “…”
It seems that the burn is really serious.
Zhou Zhu led me back to the room. The moment I saw the bed, I crawled back in naturally and closed my eyes peacefully.
After a moment, I felt like something was missing. I looked at Zhou Zhu standing by my bed. I immediately understood what he meant and made a little space for him. I patted the empty space and said,
"Come here, my Zhouzhu brand fully automatic temperature-controlled humanoid air conditioner."
"Why are there more qualifiers than before..."
He said as he placed a cool towel on my forehead.
However, the prefix 'my Zhou Zhu' obviously pleased him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Noticing the cool touch on my forehead again, I immediately closed my mouth and eyes and continued to be peaceful.
Seeing that I was about to fall asleep, I struggled to wake up again and looked at Fuji-senpai with blurry eyes, "What about Zhousuke? Do you want to sleep with me?"
Otherwise, it would be so boring for him to stay here alone and watch me sleep or something.
He shook his head, then took out a physics book from his bag and waved it in front of me.
"It's just right that you sleep, and I read. Go to sleep."
I opened my eyes wide and took just a glance at the heavenly book filled with derivation formulas, and I suddenly felt sleepy.
Very good, then I will go with peace of mind.
"Well, goodnight Shusuke."
"?"
He followed suit readily.
"Good night, Nana."
So I continued to close my eyes peacefully.
The room was very quiet for a moment. The only sounds were my heavy breathing and the rustling sound of Senior Fuji turning pages from time to time.
It is a sound that is very friendly to the ears and sleep.
Human words: I fell into a deep sleep very quickly.
In the middle, Senior Fuji picked me up and asked me to take medicine and drink water. I swallowed the medicine and drank the water reluctantly, but because they stayed in my mouth for a few more seconds, the bitter taste of those small pills instantly exploded in my mouth.
I immediately showed a ferocious expression, and drinking several big gulps of water was of no use.
"Wow, wow, it's so bitter..."
I immediately stopped Senior Fuji who was about to put down the cup and said in a wronged tone,
"It takes a kiss to get better."
This guy is really confused... If he were more sober, he would never say such words in such a tone...
Fuji Shusuke looked down and saw that the girl's cheeks were flushed due to a low fever. The bitter medicine she had just taken caused her to shed tears, making her look like a complete mess.
His Adam's apple slid up and down unconsciously.
He touched the girl's already messy head with his backhand, and it felt soft and smooth.
"Be good, save the kiss for next time."
The girl didn't buy his tricks and just lay down and threw a tantrum, "No - no kiss, I'm going to be miserable!"
Using all her limbs, the quilt, which was originally covering her well, slipped down a lot. Fuji Shusuke patiently pulled it up and covered her.
"Nana, you'll catch a cold..."
"I'm not cold, I'm cold in my heart, no kisses... so cold..."
She pulled down the quilt she had just pulled up.
Fuji Shusuke's heart seemed to be suddenly scratched by a cat. He bit his lower lip, and his expression became a little ferocious because he was trying too hard to suppress the curve of his mouth.
What should I do? This is so good, so cute!
Finally, he sighed softly, leaning down to place a gentle, feathery kiss on her forehead.
"Be good, Nana, cover yourself with the quilt, okay?"
She seemed satisfied, spontaneously pulling the quilt back on, wrapping herself tightly so that only her head was exposed. But she didn't seem particularly satisfied. Her rosy, plump lips opened and closed, and her eyes were hazy, as if she was mumbling something under her breath.
Listen carefully and you'll see what they're saying: 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west'...
"Hehe...sooner or later...I'm going to kiss Zhou Zhu to death...damn it!"
Fuji Shusuke:?
There is such a good thing? (No)

In the middle of the night, I woke up in a daze two or three times. Every time I woke up, I could see Senior Fuji sitting by my bed, reading different textbooks in his hands.
Is this the power of a top student?
So scary!
Every time he saw that I woke up, he would refill my glass with warm water. I would drink it reluctantly after a while and then lie back down to sleep.
This cycle continues until the sun sets, and golden light slants through the window, filling my entire room.
I opened my eyes and woke up to a beautiful golden sky. I was alone in the room. Senior Fuji seemed to have left. There was only a piece of warm water on the bedside table, and a piece of paper underneath. It was written in a beautiful and powerful handwriting.
"Remember to drink another glass of water when you wake up."
"I'll make it up next time."
It must be that when I put the cup down, I accidentally spilled some water, which blurred the two words on it, so I couldn't understand the two key words.
What will I make up for next time?
I finished drinking the water and stared at the note for a full minute, but after failing to figure it out, I gave up.
I'll ask Senior Fuji when I see him at school tomorrow.
I walked downstairs and passed the kitchen when I smelled a very fragrant smell. Following the aroma, I opened the pot and found a bowl of steaming porridge in the hot water.
It turned out to be my favorite Chinese dish - scallop and chicken congee!
It should have been done by Senior Fuji, and the kitchen was clean too!
By the way, how did he know that I liked this porridge the most? There used to be a restaurant run by a flower grower near my junior high school. The signature porridge there was this scallop and shredded chicken porridge. Whenever my aunt was away on business and not at home to cook, I would go to that restaurant. It was like my second canteen.
Unfortunately, the store closed down due to immigration reasons, and I was lost for a long time because of it.
I didn't expect that Senior Fuji and I would be so in tune with each other? And he can also do...
Is he really a genius with no blind spots?
He really made me cry.
At this time, Aunt Zaojian, who had been out on business, also came back. She brought me dinner and was very happy to see me holding a bowl of porridge.
She: "Oh wow, our Nana is really amazing now, she can even cook dinner for herself!?"
I immediately smiled proudly, "Hehe, because I'm a genius."
Omit the words "girlfriend" at the end.
Senior Fuji is my boyfriend now, he can do it, so rounding it off doesn’t mean I can do it, right?
Hehehehe.

The next day, I went to school feeling refreshed and repaid the extra day off Aunt Hayami had requested for me. However, my illness came and went quickly, and while I was recovering, Senior Fuji caught a cold.
But his symptoms were not as exaggerated as mine, except that his voice was a little hoarse and he looked a little listless.
The body temperature is very normal.
"So Zhou Zhu, you must cover yourself well with a blanket when you sleep at night. The weather is so unpredictable these days, and it's really easy to catch a cold if you're not careful!"
I spoke earnestly.
He gave me a strange look and said in a hoarse voice, "So Nana, do you think my cold is caused by the changing weather?"
Did she forget how she had been playing tricks on him, insisting that he kiss her if she drank a sip of water?
I looked at him with an even stranger look and said frankly, "What else? Could it be that... you took a cold shower for too long yesterday?!"
Seeing that he was silent, I took out the water-stained note again and asked, "Speaking of which, Zhou Zhu, what are these stained words on it?"
“…”
It seems that he really forgot. He was angry and amused in his heart, but in the end it turned into a helpless and doting smile.
"Nothing, I just wanted to say that Nana was sleeping too soundly. I wanted to have dinner with her, so we can make it up next time. Let's eat together."
So that's how it is...
but--
"No need to wait until next time, let's do it this time! Zhou Zhu, you're sick so you need to eat something light. Why don't we just have porridge together?"
He stared at me, looking at me as if he was saying, "You really know how to cook porridge." I felt a little guilty, so I took out my all-purpose mobile phone and gave him a coquettish look.
"I know a porridge shop that does takeout. Their preserved egg and lean pork porridge is amazing!"
He was stunned, then shook his head and blurted out:
"So, do you want to eat at my house?"
I:?
Is he inviting me to his house?
Ah this.....
Perhaps seeing through my hesitation, he lowered his eyelids, concealing the light in his eyes, and said in a deliberately nonchalant tone, "Sorry, I'm abrupt... It's just that my parents are not at home today, and Yumiko-san is also on a date. Yuta lives in the school dormitory, so there is no one at home... I thought maybe we could eat together at home..."
I was a bit stunned. I didn't expect this to be the reason... I heard that Fuji-san's parents work for a foreign trade company, so they must be very busy... His sister is too old to be home often, and his brother is in boarding school in another city. He must be bored and lonely being alone at home all the time...
And he was sick today. When you are sick, you need someone to accompany you the most!
At times like this, it's time for me to step forward!
"It's okay, Nana, if you don't want to, then don't..."
I immediately interrupted him and held his hand, "Please take me to your house! I am very clean and I will wear shoe covers!" ?
What's the point of wearing shoe covers?
However, as long as the goal is achieved.
He smiled with his eyebrows curved and replied:
"OK..."
