This was the time when people returned home after school or get off work - the sounds of slippers walking on the floor, talking, and cooking could be clearly heard from all directions among the neighbors.
And the boy fell asleep with his eyes closed in this noisy yet unusually quiet environment.
The thermometer showed that his fever was 38.5.
Having a cold will make people sleepy, how can you not feel sleepy?
Sheng Yuan looked at Shi Yan for a while, then stood up from the stool, walked to the head of the bed, and pulled up the quilt on Shi Yan, avoiding the hand where he was hanging the water.
He was sleeping soundly.
Lean your head sideways on the pillow.
One side of his face was sunk into shadow, his forehead was covered by his loose hair, and his nose was straight and curved.
Because of his illness, his features, which usually looked cold, now appeared to have a hint of gentleness and elegance.
"Meow."
The white, heterochromatic long-haired cat stepped on the gray bed and looked up at Sheng Yuan and called out.
Sheng Yuan put her finger to her lips and whispered "hush" to it.
…
When Shi Yan woke up again, the sky outside the window had become completely dark.
His room was dark too.
Turn off the lights and close the door.
It's quiet everywhere.
His head no longer felt heavy and his consciousness returned to normal. Shi Yan moved his hand and felt that the IV needle on the back of his hand was no longer there. He touched it with his other hand and felt a piece of rough hemostatic tape.
Shi Yan opened his eyes and was absent-minded for a few seconds. Suddenly he reacted, got out of bed quickly and put on his shoes.
He opened his door almost eagerly.
——It was not empty as expected.
Sheng Yuan, who was pouring cat food for the cat, heard the noise, turned around, and met eyes with Shi Yan who rushed out.
“…”
Sheng Yuan squatted on the ground, a piece of long hair behind her ear fell to her shoulders. She was holding a measuring spoon in her hand. She looked at Shi Yan with a strange expression and asked in confusion: "Why are you running?"
"..." Shi Yan stood still, exhaled slowly, blinked unnaturally, and answered in a low voice: "No."
"It seems to be hungry. It turned to the cat food box and asked me to pour it for it." Sheng Yuan put the spoon back into the box, covered it, stood up, looked at Shi Yan's condition, and asked: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No more," Shi Yan replied. He looked around: "That doctor——"
Sheng Yuan: "I'll leave after I give you the drip."
"..." Shi Yan looked at Sheng Yuan and asked, "Have you been here for a long time?"
Sheng Yuan didn't hesitate and answered truthfully: "I've been here all the time."
Shi Yan gently pursed the corners of his lips.
"The doctor left some medicine for you. Take it according to the instructions." Sheng Yuan pointed to the medicine box on the coffee table, picked up the thermometer next to him, walked to Shi Yan, raised his hand, and said two words to Shi Yan in a very natural way: "Bow your head."
Shi Yan did as he was told without any hesitation.
The tall boy with messy hair, wearing a white T-shirt and gray trousers, lowered his head and put his forehead in front of the thermometer.
"Beep."
Sheng Yuan took the thermometer and took a look: "Well, the fever has subsided. Take two more doses and it should be fine."
"good."
Shi Yan looked at Sheng Yuan, as if he suddenly remembered: "Have you had dinner?"
Sheng Yuan: “No.”
The driver originally followed Sheng Yuan's instructions and turned back from the mall to the villa. After crossing one street, he heard Sheng Yuan announce the address of Shiyan Community again, and then came directly over. (End of this chapter)
