Chapter 2 Fever



It was so hot that Qiao Nan felt like she was on fire, her whole body was so hot that she was about to be burned to ashes.

After struggling for a long time, Qiao Nan finally opened her eyes, and what she saw was not a snow-white ward, but an old and familiar room.

"Mom, Nan Nan is sick, is it really okay if we don't care about her?"

"It's okay, your sister is thick-skinned and strong, this little illness won't kill her. And she will go to school the day after tomorrow, it's even better if she's sick, otherwise she won't be able to register."

Thinking about her eldest daughter, Ding Jiayi calculated that if her younger daughter missed the opportunity to register because of her illness, she would coax the dead girl and she would definitely give up going to school and go to work to earn money.

"Mom, this watermelon is so sweet, you should have a spoonful too." After hearing the satisfactory answer, Qiao Zijin smiled and fed Ding Jiayi a mouthful of watermelon.

After hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, Qiao Nan, who was running a high fever, finally knew where she was.

She returned to Qiao's home twenty-five years ago, back to the year when she was fifteen years old and had a high fever and missed the registration time, and then was coaxed by her mother to miss school to work and earn money to support Qiao Zijin!

That year, it rained heavily the night before Qiao Nan had a high fever. Because it was autumn rain, the weather was particularly cool after the rain.

Qiao Nan clearly remembered that she was covered with a quilt when she slept at night. When she felt uncomfortable and woke up from the cold and heat, the quilt was all at the end of the bed.

During this period, Qiao Nan vaguely remembered that it was the middle of the night when the rain was the heaviest, and someone seemed to have come to her room.

In the end, not only was Qiao Nan not covered with a quilt, but even the window next to the bed was open.

If not for this, Qiao Nan would not have caught a cold or a fever.

In her previous life, Qiao Nan always thought that someone had come to her room, and she closed the window before going to bed. It was an illusion that the window opened by itself when she woke up. She was sick and confused and remembered

it wrong. But this time, Qiao Nan didn't think so.

Someone must have come to her room "last night", not only lifted her quilt, but also opened the window on purpose, just to make her sick so that she would miss the registration time for school!

Just when Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were enjoying their family life, a "bang" startled them.

"Nan, Nannan?" Qiao Zijin, who was happily chewing half a watermelon, froze in her face. She felt awkward holding the spoon, not knowing whether to put it down or raise it.

Seeing the half watermelon in Qiao Zijin's hand, Qiao Nan laughed at herself.

Qiao Zijin was conditioned by their mother to be overbearing and selfish since she was a child. Qiao Zijin had a bad habit of eating watermelon. She liked to hold half a watermelon and eat it with a spoon.

But it was the 1980s, and conditions were not as good as they would be in the future. So every time Ding Jiayi bought a watermelon, she would tell Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang that she only bought half a watermelon.

But Qiao Nan saw with her own eyes that Qiao Zijin was eating half a watermelon.

Qiao Zijin could eat half a watermelon, but Qiao Nan could eat a bunch of watermelons. Ding Jiayi was giving her face!

"You dead girl, why are you kicking the door? Who are you trying to scare to death?" Ding Jiayi, who had no guilt at all, pointed at Qiao Nan's nose and started to curse.

Qiao Nan insisted: "I have a fever, where is the antipyretic medicine?"

"What antipyretic medicine? You have already eaten it. There is no more." Ding Jiayi's eyes flashed, and she felt a little guilty when she mentioned the medicine.

Ignoring Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan went to look for the medicine herself. In her last life, she almost got meningitis because she didn't take the antipyretic medicine in time. She had a severe fever and was not sent to the hospital in time.

Because of this, the family had to pay extra for her illness, which made her believe her mother's words. She really thought that the family's money was spent on her illness. She was too ashamed to continue studying, and chose to skip school to work and support Qiao Zijin.

"What are you messing around with, you little girl?" Qiao Nan's action of looking for medicine angered Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi grabbed Qiao Nan's hair with her left hand and pulled it back, and slapped Qiao Nan in the face with her right hand.

The sound of "slap" was shocking.

After being slapped, Qiao Nan's ears were buzzing. Her face didn't hurt, but her nose was sore. The nosebleed was like a tap, flowing out, and directly dyed Qiao Nan's collar red.

"If you are sick, just go back and lie down quietly, you still want to act like a demon!" Ding Jiayi guessed that Qiao Nan didn't have the physical strength, so she wanted to drag Qiao Nan back to the room and let Qiao Nan continue to sleep. Anyway, she didn't want to give Qiao Nan medicine.

If the dead girl's illness is cured, she will definitely go to school and waste the family's money.

Ding Jiayi wanted Qiao Nan to be bedridden and wait until a month after school starts before she can go out.

Want to take medicine? No way!

Qiao Nan saw through Ding Jiayi's plan at this time, how could she give in, and pushed her head against Ding Jiayi's body.

This push didn't hurt, but it was too unexpected, which scared Ding Jiayi and she let go of her hand that was pulling Qiao Nan's hair. Qiao Nan took the opportunity to run out.

"You little bitch!" Ding Jiayi, who was a step slower, stamped her feet a few times: "If you have the guts, don't come back for the rest of your life!"

Qiao Zijin was shocked when she saw Qiao Nan resisting for the first time: "Mom, what's wrong with Nan Nan?" Didn't Nan Nan always listen to whatever mom said before?

"Don't care about her." Patting her eldest daughter's hand, Ding Jiayi didn't care: "She has a fever. She didn't stay at home to rest and ran out. She was looking for death."

Qiao Nan, whose head was burning, just wanted to run out, but she had no idea what to do after running out.

With a "bang", Qiao Nan felt that she had bumped into someone. Her nose, which had not stopped bleeding, became more and more sour and uncomfortable, and tears flowed down.

"Be careful." The man's low voice, which was chilly even in June, penetrated into Qiao Nan's ears. Qiao Nan fell back and an arm as hard as iron was put on her waist.

After Qiao Nan stood up, she shook her head three times, and her mind became clearer. She looked up and saw a pair of eyes as cold as a knife.

"Are you having a fever?" The man frowned when he felt Qiao Nan's abnormal body temperature, and then saw the bloody nosebleed on Qiao Nan's collar, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line: "Follow me."

Qiao Nan followed the man in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses until he sat on the soft sofa.

"Antipyretic medicine." The man's cold voice came, handing the medicine in one hand and holding the cup in the other.

Thinking of her own situation, Qiao Nan took the medicine from the man without hesitation and swallowed it. Then she looked up and carefully examined the man's appearance.
