It's been exposed.
Chen Bing sensed something was wrong, wondering where she had gone wrong. From the moment the shopkeeper opened the door until she forced a smile, her performance had been perfectly fine.
But there's no use thinking about it now. Chen Bing sighed inwardly and stopped pretending.
He stood up, took two steps back, and said to Shang Yunmiao, "Take a step back, I think I have a fever, I don't want to infect you."
Seeing Chen Bing back down, Shang Yunmiao dropped the thermometer gun in her hand and rushed into his arms.
"No, Chen Bing, you have a fever. I need to take care of you."
"obedient."
"don't want……"
"It will be contagious to you."
"It's okay, let it be contagious. You'll perform better on the exam if you have a fever." After saying that, Shang Yunmiao, who was already in a daze, wrapped her arms around Chen Bing's neck and then skipped over to kiss the corner of his mouth.
Now that things had come to this, Chen Bing couldn't say anything more. He raised his hand to cup the back of Xiao Shang's head, then rested his chin on the girl's head to calm her down, before gently asking, "How did you guess?"
After calming down, Shang Yunmiao buried her face in Chen Bing's arms again and said, "You've been acting strange all day. Not only did you not think of kissing me when you got home, but you also seemed really down."
Chen Bing smiled bitterly to herself, thinking that she must have been delirious with fever to not have thought of this coincidence.
Actually, whether she didn't get close to Xiao Shang or seemed depressed, it was all because of that conversation that morning, and it was really a coincidence that she got infected with the virus.
Just as Chen Bing made up her mind, Shang Yunmiao continued, "Actually, that's not the main point. The most important thing is what you said to me before you went back to your room, Chen Bing."
talk?
Chen Bing recalled what she had said earlier and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Regarding his inner doubts, Shang Yunmiao explained in a timely manner: "If it were the usual Chen Bing, she wouldn't have replied so seriously. You would have teased me like, 'Study hard and concentrate! What, do you want to be kissed?'"
After a brief silence, Chen Bing reached out and pinched Xiao Shang's earlobe as a compliment, showing how well she understood her.
Indeed, whether it's her past self or her present self, there is only one person named Chen Bing. Correspondingly, Shang Yunmiao only knows herself.
She didn't know any "Chen Bing from a past life," nor did she know the difference between the Chen Bing of the past and the Chen Bing of the present. She only liked herself, nothing else mattered. And if she were to treat her coldly because of a little grudge in her heart, that would be unfair to Xiao Shang.
Thinking of this, Chen Bing's gaze softened even more as he looked at Shang Yunmiao. He gently stroked the girl's hair and said, "That's amazing. You actually noticed all of that. I think I like you even more now that you know me so well. It's really impossible for you not to be my wife now."
After cuddling tenderly for a moment, Chen Bing patted Shang Yunmiao's shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, my dearest little Shang, hurry back to your room, don't let me infect you. Also, remember to disinfect with alcohol when you get back."
"No, no." The little head in her arms shook like a rattle-drum, the girl still sticking to her previous idea.
"I want to take care of you, Chen Bing."
After laughing happily at Shang Yunmiao's resistance, Chen Bing straightened her face and said seriously, "What do you mean by taking care of me? It's not that bad yet. My temperature isn't even 38 degrees Celsius. Just let me rest quietly and prepare for tomorrow's exam. After the exam, you can take care of me without worry."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao raised her head, biting her lip and hesitating for a moment.
"Go back quickly, otherwise my heart will start racing and I'll start thinking about doing bad things whenever I see you, which will make it harder for me to rest."
Undeterred by Chen Bing's words, Shang Yunmiao weighed the pros and cons and considered the matter rationally before finally accepting the suggestion to "go back." However, she had other things to do before that.
After turning around and jogging out of the room, Shang Yunmiao found a kettle, a water cup, cold medicine, fever reducer and a whole bunch of other things and put them on Chen Bing's bedside. After urging him to lie down on the bed, she opened the bedroom door and the balcony window a little to ventilate the room. Finally, before leaving, she took Chen Bing's temperature again.
"Then... Chen Bing, you should rest well."
After looking around the room and making sure nothing was missing, Shang Yunmiao looked at Chen Bing with a worried expression.
"Okay, go ahead, I'm going to get some rest."
"Hmm..." Shang Yunmiao gave a soft "hmm" and took a step back. Then, as if she had thought of something, she hesitated for a moment before walking back to the bedside.
Her hesitant little face clearly told Chen Bing what she wanted to do and was prepared to do.
Chen Bing quickly waved her hand, saying, "Let's skip the goodnight kiss. There'll be plenty of time later."
Shang Yunmiao blushed slightly after her little scheme was exposed, and then left the room with a shy expression.
The girl's departing figure looked flustered, and Chen Bing couldn't help but smile like an aunt as she watched.
Turning her head away and closing her eyes, Chen Bing felt her slightly aching head as she repeatedly sketched Shang Yunmiao's image in her mind. For a moment, even the headache seemed to ease considerably.
"By the way, Chen Bing."
As soon as Chen Bing closed her eyes, she heard Xiao Shang's voice again.
Turning around, he saw that the little girl had returned at some point and was now standing at the door looking at him.
"Um... um..." After hesitating for a while, Shang Yunmiao finally spoke before her face turned completely red, "You should rest well. If anything happens, be sure to message me. Okay, that's all. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, the little girl waved her hand and fled from there as if she were escaping.
It has been said countless times that Chen Bing grew up with Shang Yunmiao since childhood, so she naturally knows her childhood sweetheart very well.
Judging from her expression just now, Chen Bing knew that the girl had come back specifically to say something else. However, before she spoke, she probably considered that she was still a patient and had an exam the next day, so she ultimately chose not to say it.
Based on Chen Bing's understanding of Shang Yunmiao, this little girl might think about this all day tomorrow, and only after the exam will she be able to tell him what she originally wanted to say.
Honestly, in the end, did the result still affect her mindset?
Chen Bing lay on the bed with her eyes closed, smiling again and again, whether with relief or helplessness, it was hard to tell.
So, what is it that she's going to say?
Chen Bing was both curious and looking forward to the moment the exam ended. He thought that if Xiao Shang didn't bring it up, he would interrogate her for the first time in a long time tomorrow...
