Chi Xiuwen rummaged through drawers and cabinets to collect Pei Zhi's documents, then immediately called the private hospital.
The two hurriedly took Pei Zhi to the hospital, where a blood test revealed it was just a common cold.
After receiving a fever-reducing injection and being put on an IV drip, Pei Zhi's complexion improved significantly.
In the private ward, Lu Mingxu brought warm water, and Chi Xiuwen wrung out a towel to wipe Pei Zhi's face and hands.
Pei Zhi regained consciousness, her throat was sore, and she smelled a strong odor of disinfectant.
Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu stayed by Pei Zhi's side. When Pei Zhi woke up, Chi Xiuwen asked with concern, "You're awake. Would you like something to eat?"
Pei Zhi's hand was a little sore, and she barely moved it before Lu Mingxu quickly pressed it down.
"Your hand is receiving an IV drip. Your veins are thin, and the nurse had to try three times to get it in. Don't move around."
"I remember now."
Chi Xiuwen helped Pei Zhi up, while Lu Mingxu rocked the hospital bed so that Pei Zhi could sit up.
"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
Pei Zhi: "I'm a little hungry, anything is fine with me."
“Okay,” Chi Xiuwen replied. “You stay here and watch over her. I’ll go home and cook some porridge and bring it over.”
Lu Mingxu responded, and Chi Xiuwen then got up and left.
"My phone is dead, could you borrow a charger from a nurse?"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right back."
[System, system!]
【exist.】
Pei Zhi: [Why did I get sick?]
Pei Zhi rarely gets sick in the small world, unless there are unforeseen circumstances.
For example, if you get injured, you will inevitably develop a fever due to wound infection.
Normally, Pei Zhi wouldn't catch a cold from being out in the cool breeze on the balcony like last night.
As a mission taker, he may not have other privileges, but being physically strong shouldn't be a big problem.
Pei Zhi couldn't believe that she had developed a fever and ended up in the hospital just because she had been exposed to cold wind for a few hours.
You are no longer a staff member of the Quick Transmigration Bureau.
Pei Zhi began to understand. "So, in this small world, I'm just like any other ordinary person?"
【more than.】
Because you are not from the small world, if you stayed in the small world, your physical condition would be somewhat weaker than that of a normal person.
Pei Zhi murmured, "No wonder."
She said that lately she has been getting tired easily and her physical condition is not as good as before.
Pei Zhi thought it was just her imagination, but it turned out it wasn't.
Pei Zhi was somewhat troubled; she wasn't someone who could endure hardship.
If she were frequently sick and hospitalized, Pei Zhi would be reluctant to stay in the small world.
[Friendly reminder: You can only visit each small world once. Once you choose to leave, you can never return.]
Life is pretty comfortable right now.
Pei Zhi was reluctant to leave.
If they leave and can't come back, that makes things even more complicated.
Pei Zhi waved her hand: "Alright, you may leave."
【Good luck.】
After the system finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Lu Mingxu came in with a charger.
After charging Pei Zhi's phone, Lu Mingxu chatted with her for a while.
When Chi Xiuwen came over with the thermos, Pei Zhi drank some millet porridge, removed the IV drip, and got out of bed to move around for a while.
Once the fever subsided, Pei Zhi wanted to go home.
The doctor suggested that it would be better to stay overnight before going back.
Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu insisted on listening to the doctor, and Pei Zhi's resistance was ineffective.
As night fell, Pei Zhi realized that the system's words were not meant to scare her.
The body's resistance had decreased significantly, and Pei Zhi developed a fever again that night while still in a daze.
Fortunately, Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu stayed by her side the whole time. They were the first to notice that Pei Zhi's condition was not right and called a doctor.
After taking his temperature, he was given an injection of fever reducer.
Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu didn't sleep all night. Following the doctor's advice, they wiped Pei Zhi with warm water.
Pei Zhi stayed in the hospital for three days due to a minor cold.
The fever lingered on and off for three days before it started to improve.
Her previously chubby cheeks have become completely thinner.
When Pei Zhi was discharged from the hospital, Hu Shi made a special trip to visit her.
Pei Zhi accepted the flowers from Hu Shi and forced a smile.
"You're such a wimp, bro. A mere cold and you're hospitalized for three days. You're like a modern-day Lin Daiyu."
Lu Mingxu kicked Hu Shi, signaling Hu Shi to say less.
Pei Zhi has been feeling very depressed these past few days because of her illness.
Pei Zhi never expected that a minor cold would lead to her being hospitalized for three days.
Previously in the Empress's world, her arm was almost chopped off, but it didn't even burn for three days.
Pei Zhi has never been one to endure hardship, and she figured that getting sick once would be enough to give her a hard time.
If she gets sick again, Pei Zhi will have to think about leaving this world.
She returned to the small world because she was bored and just wanted to have some fun, not to suffer.
If the system had told her before she returned that her health would deteriorate, Pei Zhi probably wouldn't have come back.
Hu Shi patted Pei Zhi on the shoulder, "Alright, it's just a minor cold, not a terminal illness, why are you so gloomy?"
Lu Mingxu glared at Hu Shi and said, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
The group got into the car and drove home.
As soon as he entered the house, Chi Xiuwen handed Pei Zhi a bag.
"Change your clothes to avoid catching the illness."
Hu Shih wanted to ask, when did Chi Hsiu-wen become so superstitious?
Pei Zhi took the clothes and went into the bedroom to change into the new clothes.
Chi Xiuwen packed up the clothes Pei Zhi had worn while in the hospital and put them in a suitcase.
