Chapter 2 Fever
It was so hot that Qiao Nan felt like he was on fire and his whole body was so hot that he almost burned to ashes.
After struggling for a while, Qiao Nan finally opened his eyes. What he saw was not the snow-white ward, but an old and familiar room.
"Mom, Nan Nan is sick. Is it really okay if we don't take care of her?"
"It's okay. Your sister is tough and strong. This little illness won't kill her. Besides, she will start school soon. It's even worse if she's sick. She won't be able to register."
Thinking about her eldest daughter, Ding Jiayi calculated that her daughter missed the opportunity to register because of illness. When the time comes, she will coax the little girl and she will 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." Hearing the satisfactory answer, Qiao Zijin smiled and fed Ding Jiayi a bite of watermelon.
After hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, Qiao Nan, who was running a high fever, finally knew where he was.
She returned to the Qiao family of 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 was then 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. But when she woke up from the heat and cold because she felt uncomfortable, the quilt was all at the end of the bed.
During this period, Qiao Nan vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have come to her room in the middle of the night when the rain was heaviest.
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 wouldn't have caught a cold or a fever.
In her previous life, Qiao Nan always thought that someone had come to her room. She closed the window before going to bed, and the window opened by itself when she woke up. It was all an illusion. She was sick and confused and remembered it wrongly.
But at this time, Qiao Nan didn't think so.
Someone must have come to her room "last night" and 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 the harmony and love of their mother and daughter, a loud "bang" startled them.
"Nan, Nannan?" Qiao Zijin, who was happily eating half a watermelon, froze in her face. Her hand holding the spoon was embarrassed, not knowing whether to put it down or lift it up.
Seeing the half watermelon in Qiao Zijin's hand, Qiao Nan laughed at himself.
Qiao Zijin was conditioned by her mother to be domineering and selfish. She had a bad habit of eating watermelon. She liked to hold half a watermelon in her hands and eat it with a spoon.
But it was the 1980s, and conditions were not as good as they are today, 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 now saw with her own eyes that Qiao Zijin was eating half a watermelon.
Qiao Zijin can eat half a watermelon, but Qiao Nan can eat a whole watermelon. That’s really Ding Jiayi giving her face!
"You silly girl, why are you kicking the door? Who are you trying to scare to death?" Ding Jiayi, who had no guilt at all, looked fierce and started cursing at Qiao Nan, pointing at his nose.
Qiao Nan insisted: "I have a fever, where is the fever-reducing medicine?"
"What fever-reducing medicine? You've already taken it all. There's 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 medicine herself. In her last life, she almost developed meningitis because she didn't take antipyretics in time and had a severe fever. She was not sent to the hospital in time.
Because of this, the family had to bear extra expenses due to her illness, which made her believe her mother's words and think that the family's money was spent on her treatment. She was too embarrassed to continue her studies and chose to drop out of school and work to support Qiao Zijin.
"You stupid girl, what are you rummaging around for?!" 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.
There was a startling sound of "pop".
After being slapped, Qiao Nan's ears were buzzing. His face didn't hurt, but his nose was sore and painful. His nosebleed flowed like a faucet, directly staining 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 did not have the strength, so she wanted to drag Qiao Nan back to the room and let her continue sleeping. In any case, she would not give Qiao Nan any medicine.
If the dead girl recovers from her illness, she will definitely go to school and waste the family's money.
Ding Jiayi wanted Qiao Nan to be bedridden and not be able to go out until a month after school started.
Want to take medicine? No way!
At this time, Qiao Nan saw through Ding Jiayi's plan and was not willing to give in, so he pushed his head against Ding Jiayi.
The hit didn't hurt, but it was too unexpected, and Ding Jiayi was startled and let go of Qiao Nan's hair. Qiao Nan took the opportunity to run outside.
"You stupid girl!" Ding Jiayi, who was a step slower, stomped her feet a few times: "If you have the guts, don't come back for the rest of your life!"
Seeing Qiao Nan resist for the first time, Qiao Zijin was shocked: "Mom, what's wrong with Nan Nan?" Didn't Nan Nan always obey whatever mom said in the past?
"Don't worry 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 but ran out. She is deliberately looking for death."
Qiao Nan's head was burning with anxiety and all he wanted was to run away, but he had no idea what to do after he ran away.
With a "bang", Qiao Nan felt that he had bumped into someone. His nose, which had not yet stopped bleeding, felt even more sour and uncomfortable, and tears began to flow.
"Be careful." The man's voice, which was cold even in June, penetrated into Qiao Nan's ears. Qiao Nan leaned back and an arm as hard as iron was placed around his waist.
After Qiao Nan stood firm, he shook his head three times before his mind became clearer. When he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes as cold as blades.
"You have a fever?" Feeling Qiao Nan's abnormal body temperature, the man frowned. Then, seeing the bloody nosebleed on Qiao Nan's collar, he pursed his lips into a straight line: "Follow me."
Qiao Nan followed the man in a daze, and only came to her senses when she sat down on the soft sofa.
"Antipyretic medicine." The man's cold voice came, handing the medicine in one hand and holding a cup in the other.
Thinking of her own situation, Qiao Nan took the medicine from the man without any hesitation and swallowed it. Then she looked up and carefully examined the man.
The man was very handsome, with a sharp face, thick and straight eyebrows that exuded a sense of righteousness, a straight nose that was very high, and a stern look in his eyes that could easily make people afraid and retreat. For some reason, his beautiful thin lips pursed in displeasure, which made Qiao Nan nervous.
