That makes perfect sense, and Xu Zijiang couldn't refute it. He just didn't expect that Yu Zhiqing was the same as him, missing him so much that she couldn't sleep and needed to take a cold shower to calm down. This was indeed his fault; he could only blame himself for being too handsome.
Xu Zijiang had nothing to say. He fed Yu Jiu half a bowl of porridge spoonful by spoonful until she really couldn't eat anymore. Then he took out the medicine, which consisted of two small white pills.
"Sweetie, take your medicine and I'll let you sleep. I'm the one who made you sick, I have to make you better, give me a chance."
"I don't want it, the medicine tastes awful."
Yu Jiu turned her back in resistance, acting very spoiled and difficult.
"It's not bitter, this medicine isn't bitter, really."
"Liar, what medicine isn't bitter? I don't believe it."
Yu Jiu lay back down and refused to get up no matter what she was told.
Xu Zijiang sighed.
"Really not going to eat?"
"Hmm! I won't eat!"
"OK."
What's going on? Yu Jiu was completely confused, and even thought he was leaving, which made her a little angry.
Xu Zijiang picked up the small pill, took a sip of water, then turned Yu Jiu around and bent down to place it on her. Taking advantage of Yu Jiu's slightly open, bewildered mouth, he shoved the small pill into her mouth with lightning speed and then gave her a sip of warm water.
Glug.
Yu Jiu swallowed the small pill.
This method is still the best. Xu Zijiang was very satisfied. He continued to feed the remaining pill in this way.
Yu Jiumeng's eyes widened; she was still in a daze.
Question: Is someone doing this for the other person's own good, or are they taking advantage of them?
"Xu Zijiang!"
Yu Jiu was stunned for a long time before she finally came to her senses. She scolded him in a soft and delicate voice, but her dark eyes widened in anger. This bastard, who allowed him to feed her medicine like this!
"Look at you now, you don't even have the strength to curse, it's not like you're cursing, it's like you're being affectionate. If you keep doing this, I'll want to kiss you again, just like last night, and I'll pinch your waist until it hurts. Go to sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up, and then you can do whatever you want to me."
Xu Zijiang threatened her, while wiping the water droplets from her mouth.
"Hmph, pervert!"
Yu Jiu cursed angrily, lay back down, and covered her face with the blanket.
"Mmm, I'm a pervert, don't cover your face with the blanket, it's not breathable."
Xu Zi gave a perfunctory "hmm" and offered to pull the blanket down for her.
Yu Jiu angrily kicked him, her fair little foot stomping hard on his knee.
"Just build it! It's none of your business!"
Her voice was soft and delicate, with a sickly, nasal tone that was very endearing. Xu Zijiang got hard at the most inopportune moment.
He glanced down at his crotch and despaired of himself. He was a complete beast!
"Okay, okay, I don't care. Go to sleep. I won't bother you anymore. I'll stay by your side."
Xu Zijiang raised his hands in surrender.
"I don't need you to guard this place!"
Yu Jiu grumbled a few times arrogantly from under the covers, then lowered her voice and drifted off to sleep within minutes. She was genuinely unwell, so you can't blame her for being temperamental.
Xu Zijiang waited until she was sound asleep before carefully pulling the blanket down. He didn't dare to pull it all the way down; he stopped at her mouth, just enough to expose her nose so she could breathe.
He stared at Yu Jiu's pale face for a long time, unwilling to look away, seemingly lost in thought.
When Yu Jiu woke up again, it was already noon, and Xu Zijiang was no longer there.
He went back to cook.
"You're awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you? Oh dear, you have no idea, the team leader stayed with you until we got back from work, tsk tsk tsk, afraid that his precious treasure would be snatched away by wolves, tsk tsk tsk."
Yu Caihong was eating at the doorway of the room, holding a bowl. When she saw that she was awake, she kept clicking her tongue.
"Rainbow Sister, please have mercy on me. I'm sick and you're still teasing me like this. I'm going to get angry."
Yu Jiu was so restless from her sleep that she sat blankly on the bed and yawned helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I'll let you off this time. Are you hungry? Do you want me to share with you? You can eat some first."
Yu Caihong handed over her bowl.
They had to order their own food, and each person only got one bowl, which was only enough to fill them up halfway. They had no choice, as their food supplies were running low, and they wouldn't be able to get their share until November or December. There were still four or five months to go, so they had to be very careful with their food.
"No need, didn't you say he went back to cook? He'll probably be here soon."
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Xu Zijiang had already appeared at the door with a basket in his hand. Yu Caihong took off running, her braids swinging high, not daring to linger for even a moment.
Are you still feeling unwell?
Apart from Yu Jiu, there were no other female educated youths in the room. Xu Zi walked in without looking to either side, stood by Yu Jiu's bed, and asked gently.
"I don't feel bad anymore."
Yu Jiu shook his head. His fever had subsided, but he still felt weak all over. He estimated that he would recover after a few days of rest.
"Then get up and eat."
"Okay, put the food down and go back now."
She waved her hand impatiently, urging him on.
"You heartless brat, who are you ordering around?"
Xu Zijiang was furious and roughly ruffled her hair, making it even messier.
"You're the one I'm being bossed around. You're the one who made me sick. What's wrong with cooking me a meal? Isn't that your duty? Go back now. This is the dormitory for female educated youth. Aren't you embarrassed standing here? Besides, how are other people supposed to come back and rest if you're like this?"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Yu Jiu gave a haughty snort. That made sense, but her shooing manner still made people's hearts ache. Xu Zijiang was going to leave anyway!
"Just you wait until I deal with you, I'm leaving!"
Xu Zi put down the basket, strode away, his face slightly dark.
"ox!"
Yu Caihong returned with the bowl, silently giving Yu Jiu a thumbs up. "The number one person to dare order around/discipline the captain, I admire you!"
Yu Jiu remained calm, saying, "So-so, third in the world, I guess." She tossed her hair and got up to wash.
After lunch, she still didn't go to work and went to sleep again. She was covered in sweat and felt very weak. She couldn't go out in the sun like that. When she woke up again, she found that there were a few more people in the dormitory. Oh, it was Li Nannan who came back, along with her parents and older brother.
Li Guanhua was still standing at the foot of her bed, staring at her intently with a lewd look in his eyes!
Yu Jiu was startled. She frowned unhappily and quickly looked down at herself. Fortunately, the blanket was on and her clothes were on properly, only her collarbone was showing. There was no accidental exposure, but she still stared at herself with an unhappy expression and questioned him.
"Li Nannan, didn't you see I was sleeping? You came back, but why did you let your dad and brother in too! This is the dormitory for female educated youth; don't you know there's a difference between men and women?"
Yu Jiu was furious. Xu Zijiang would never enter the women's dormitory if there were other female educated youths there, so why did Li Nannan swagger in with her father and brother while she was sleeping?
