As soon as she got home, she washed her hands briefly and before she even had a chance to deal with the groceries she had bought, Shang Yunmiao listlessly collapsed onto the sofa.
After finding a thermometer, Chen Bing lifted Shang Yunmiao's clothes and casually placed the thermometer under the girl's armpit.
This isn't Chen Bing trying to take advantage on purpose, please don't misunderstand. It's mainly because the thermometer at home has some problems; I can tell from my own experience that its accuracy is really questionable.
And look, Xiao Shang didn't object, did he?
Taking back his joke, Chen Bing glanced at Xiao Shang's uncomfortable expression and then reached out to touch her forehead.
It's really hot.
After sitting down next to the girl, Chen Bing gently stroked her forehead and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Hmm...I want to sleep..."
Poor child.
After staring at Xiao Shang with a pained expression for a while, Chen Bing thought it was about time, so she reached into the girl's sleeve again and took out the thermometer.
38.5c, much more serious than before.
That's why I'm telling you to exercise more with me. Shang Yunmiao doesn't like to exercise, and her lazy and unhealthy physique is definitely not good.
For some reason, I hadn't caught the disease while taking care of myself before, but now that I'm sick, it's a big problem. Fortunately, though, I'm in good health right now. Although I still have some headaches, I can still take care of my sick son, Xiao Shang, without any issues.
Thinking of this, Chen Bing picked up Shang Yunmiao, who was lying on the sofa, and carried her to his bedroom in a princess carry.
After covering her with a blanket and ventilating the room, Chen Bing got up to get a kettle and cold medicine.
But before he could even take his first step, a small hand grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"elder brother……"
Without Shang Yunmiao needing to explain further, Chen Bing knew what the little girl meant.
"I'll go get the water bottle, cold medicine, and stuff. You stay here and lie down quietly. I'll be right back."
"Um...can you come back soon?"
Patting Shang Yunmiao's little hand, Chen Bing had fully embraced the role of caregiver.
"Okay, I'll be back in five minutes at the latest. Can I leave my phone here for you to keep track of the time?" With that, Chen Bing set a five-minute countdown and placed it next to Shang Yunmiao's pillow.
After that, Shang Yunmiao didn't say anything more. She silently withdrew her small hand and pulled the blanket up slightly to cover her mouth. Her sickly big eyes were fixed on the countdown on the screen.
After giving a gentle smile, Chen Bing turned and left the room.
Chen Bing is an expert when it comes to taking care of Shang Yunmiao, who is ill.
As mentioned before, this little girl has never liked sports, so there is a 50% chance that she will catch a cold every time the seasons change.
Needless to say, the most memorable one was during my second year of junior high school.
Just like now, it was winter, close to the winter break. Perhaps because the two of them had ridden their bikes home once, Shang Yunmiao was quite exposed to the wind on the way, and felt dizzy from the next morning onwards.
Because they were very close, Chen Bing quickly discovered the situation and immediately took the little girl home after asking for leave.
Normally, even if someone needed to take time off to care for her, it should have been Aunt Xuan or at least Sister Yue. But unfortunately, Aunt Xuan was away on a business trip at the time, and Liu Yue had been taken on a trip to Jingbei by Old Chen, so this important task had to be taken on by Chen Bing.
After asking their homeroom teacher for leave, the two returned home and spent a pleasant afternoon.
I won't go into the specifics of how enjoyable it was.
In short, Shang Yunmiao is extremely clingy when she has a cold and fever, even more so than herself.
Huh, why are you comparing yourself to me?
After shaking off the strange thought, Chen Bing took the things she needed to take care of the patient and returned to her room.
When they came in, Shang Yunmiao was still in the same position as at the beginning, her eyes blinking occasionally as she stared intently at the countdown.
Chen Bing casually put down what she was holding and picked up her phone to take a look.
"One minute and twenty-eight seconds left. See? I wasn't lying to you."
"Hmm..." After a simple "hmm," Shang Yunmiao shifted her gaze from her phone to Chen Bing's face.
The girl watched as the boy busied himself feeding her water, wiping her cheeks with a warm towel, checking her temperature, and giving her medicine. She couldn't bear to look away.
"Why don't you change your clothes too? How about you wear that light yellow Pikachu-shaped pajama set?"
Seeing that Xiao Shang didn't object, Chen Bing helped her sit up on the bed and then changed her into more comfortable pajamas.
After a long and busy period, Chen Bing finally finished tucking Xiao Shang back into bed and then took the girl's clothes that she had just taken off to the balcony.
Even through the glass, Shang Yunmiao could still see Chen Bing's blurry figure, so there was no need to time it again.
After finishing all her tasks, Chen Bing sat on the edge of the bed and let Shang Yunmiao snuggle up to her.
"Brother...I want to take a shower..."
Chen Bing gently rubbed the girl's forehead and refused the request as a matter of course.
"No, you can't take a shower if you get infected."
After a brief silence, Shang Yunmiao turned to the side and hugged Chen Bing's leg.
"But...we still have to do bad things at night..."
Without any other expression on her face, Chen Bing gently pinched Shang Yunmiao's earlobe and said, "Of course, this is postponed. We'll talk about it when you're better."
"Oh..." Perhaps due to the fever, Shang Yunmiao's mind was a little slow. After saying "Oh," she actually had something else she wanted to say, but for a moment she couldn't organize her thoughts.
After racking her brains for a while, she asked in a soft voice, "Then, can you still sleep with me tonight?"
Chen Bing shifted her body towards the foot of the bed and lay down on her side facing Shang Yunmiao.
"Of course, whether you have a fever or not, whether you want to do something bad or not, I will always sleep with you as long as you want."
"Can it be done later?"
"Okay, I'll sleep with you every day from now on. Be good, close your eyes and get some rest. Don't think about anything else. I promise you everything."
"Oh..." Following Chen Bing's instructions, Shang Yunmiao happily closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again. She wanted to say something, but she forgot, so she gave up and closed her eyes again.
At dinner, Chen Bing asked Shang Yunmiao what she wanted to eat.
Because of her poor health, she naturally had a poor appetite, so she didn't want to eat anything and just wanted Chen Bing to stay by her side.
Not wanting to refuse, Chen Bing agreed to the request. Then, around 9 p.m., while Shang Yunmiao was asleep, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
