Chapter 74
When Feng Ran woke up again, she was in her own room. The gifts she received yesterday had been neatly arranged in various corners by Xiao Fen. The rabbit doll that had been thrown out was next to her pillow. She had changed into a set of pajamas. It was still light outside, and she couldn't tell if it was morning or afternoon.
She still felt very tired, her head was throbbing and she was a little thirsty. She touched her face and felt that her body temperature seemed a little high.
Feng Ran slowly got out of bed, clutching the rabbit. His bare feet felt weak on the carpet. He lifted his collar and saw that the spot where Shen Shiqian had bitten him had scabbed over, leaving a tingling, numb feeling.
I checked the time on the terminal; it was 11:18. I had only slept for an hour or two. I saw some unread messages and checked them one by one.
Bai Yunxi made an appointment with her for the next treatment and check-up, but to be honest, Feng Ran wasn't in the mood to talk to her right now; Xisen sent her the medical school's exam schedule and past exam papers, and Feng Ran replied with an OK sign and dragged the exam paper bag into her to-do list; Fran sent him the finalized S09-3 finished product report and said that he wanted to try mental energy potions for the next project.
After giving Fran some pointers, Feng Ran began to seriously read the 58 messages Afu had sent her since last night. Each sentence was followed by two or three heavy exclamation marks. From the initial shock and breakdown to the later worry and gossip, the change in her mindset only took one night. She didn't know how many people she had asked using all her connections. The latest message was: Can I draw your doujinshi? I feel like it will sell very well.
Afu had previously mentioned wanting to draw a fanfic about her and Basil. At that time, Fengran had no concept of fanfics, so she enthusiastically sent him several of her most cherished favorite works. As a result, a pile of rubbish cunningly entered Fengran's mind, and while being greatly shocked, he ruthlessly rejected Afu's suggestion.
I don't know why she brought this up again, but Feng Ran is no longer the innocent and naive Feng Ran she used to be. She actually started to consider it. She must have really lost her mind. After thinking for a long time, she replied: "Make me more gentle."
But I regretted it as soon as I sent it and wanted to take it back, but the other party had already read it and replied: Okay, boss.
Feng Ran slumped back onto the bed, picked up the rabbit, and looked at its gem-like eyes. She thought to herself, "I'm doomed. She's fallen for me."
Shen Shiqian was preparing lunch in the kitchen. The smell of food in the air was delicious. Feng Ran stared at his busy back for a while and felt fortunate for the powerful physique of a 3S-level Alpha.
Xiao Lan grabbed Feng Ran's leg and found her a pair of fluffy slippers, which she placed in front of her. Feng Ran stepped into the slippers and shuffled along the floor until she reached the kitchen, where she bumped into Shen Shiqian's back.
Shen Shiqian shuddered, spilling all the soup from the tasting dish onto the stove. Xiao Lan quickly wiped it up with a towel, and everything seemed to be fine.
He put down the dish, turned around, and put his arm around the spineless Feng Ran: "Ranran, did you rest well? How are you feeling?"
Feng Ran clung to him clingily, belatedly nodding, then glanced at the bubbling soup pot and asked in a muffled voice, "Is it ready yet?"
Shen Shiqian: "Just add the seasoning at the end, would you like to try some?"
He picked up the dish again, filled it with a little more, blew on it to cool it down, and handed it to Feng Ran. Feng Ran tasted it from his hand and smacked his lips carefully: "The taste is mild, but it shouldn't be your problem."
She leaned forward and pressed her forehead against Shen Shiqian's face: "I think I have a slight fever. Maybe I'll feel better after eating and sleeping for a while, but I'm not hungry at all. Can I just have some soup?"
Shen Shiqian lifted her bangs and checked her temperature again, patiently persuading, "I also made some chive pancakes, would you like to have one?"
Feng Ran looked down and asked the robot following behind her, "What do leek boxes look like?"
Xiao Lan was still displaying information on its monitor when Xiao Fen took out the prepared chive dumplings from the warming cabinet to show her. Feng Ran frowned as she stared at the plate of unusually plump dumplings, her face falling: "I only want half."
But he had no appetite. When eating, Feng Ran took a few bites of the smallest half of the chive box that Xiao Fen had carefully selected, then took an empty plate and scooped out all the chive filling, eating only the noodles. He was listless while chewing, and his eyelids felt heavier and heavier.
After struggling to finish her meal, Shen Shiqian used a thermometer to check her temperature; it was 38.2 degrees Celsius, even hotter than before she ate.
Shen Shiqian helped Feng Ran, who was swaying slightly in her chair, and said, "Ranran, how about we go to the hospital? You're not in good health, and I'm worried about other complications. Even if you don't take medicine, you can get some fever-reducing treatment. If your fever gets too high, it'll be really painful to have a headache."
Feng Ran usually tries her best to avoid getting sick, especially since she already has a lot of health problems. A minor illness would be enough to break down all her usual resilience. Looking at Shen Shiqian's sincere eyes, she finally agreed: "I only want to stay in the Sleica XV730 EX semi-automatic medical pod. I don't want anything else, not even a hospital bed. If there isn't one, the hospital can prepare one."
Shen Shiqian immediately relayed the request to Xisen, who had no understanding of these things, and asked at the end what the difference was.
[Sissen: A deluxe convalescent bed without a roof, offering slightly inferior medical care compared to the PRO model.]
His words revealed a strong sense of frustration and helplessness.
[Sissen: This is a public hospital, how could we have those fancy things? Why don't you just take her to Sleica Private Hospital?]
Feng Ran saw all the replies and felt a little sullen: "I didn't mean to make things difficult for him."
“When Feng Linye was little, he was often sick, but it was just minor ailments like colds, fevers, and diarrhea. Sometimes he would even pretend to be sick to throw a tantrum. However, the family's private doctor was a friend of his mother's. To help him gain attention, he would arrange for him to be hospitalized almost every time. Then Feng Xiqiao would stop working and go to the hospital with Qin Xin to take care of him. They were a loving and harmonious family. I would just stand by and watch him provoke me, and I always felt like my self-esteem was being trampled on. When the adults weren't around, he would energetically press the emergency call button by the bedside. After calling the doctors and nurses, he would say that I pressed it and that I got scolded. After a few times, the doctors and nurses at the hospital also disliked me and told Qin Xin to stop coming.”
"When Qin Xin got angry, she wasn't actually very fierce, but she was very scary. She was like a different person, hysterically grabbing me and asking if I couldn't stand seeing her doing well and wanted to kill her. At that time, I hated doctors and hospitals. I thought they were all bad people. Later, when I was dealing with nerve damage and the first differentiation, Feng Xiqiao took me to see all sorts of specialists. When I met Luo Le, I learned that his family owned a hospital, which made me even more prejudiced. I felt that there was a possibility that all the special inhibitors I took as a child were given to me by his family. Even though Qin Xin told me to get along with him, I still couldn't help but give him the cold shoulder when we were alone."
"Logically speaking, the misunderstandings I had as a child should have been much better as I grew up. But because no matter how many experts and famous doctors Feng Xiqiao took me to see, they all said that my injuries were too severe to be cured, I was very disappointed in them and felt that all the talk about saving lives and healing the wounded was hypocritical."
"Actually, I've never used the XV730's medical pod. I've only seen descriptions of private sanatorium facilities on the terminal. There's no confining glass pod ceiling, no complicated medical tubes, it's spacious and flexible, and there are even moving tracks underneath so I can drive it to the yard to sunbathe. I've always wanted to go there. Later on, I kept getting sick, and Basil gave me all sorts of advanced and sophisticated medical assistants and medical pods. With Xing Tong's optimization and cooperation, even high-difficulty surgeries like heart suturing could be performed. But every time I woke up in the medical pod and watched the glass pod ceiling slowly open, it felt like I was struggling to climb out of a coffin. I hated that feeling."
Shen Shiqian hugged Feng Ran again, "It's okay, Ranran, it's all in the past. Since you want to stay there, then we'll stay there. You're great, you didn't make things difficult for him, it's just that he's not capable enough." Then, from an angle she couldn't see, he sent a message to Xisen: If you don't handle this well, your lab will lose all its funding in the future.
[Sissen: Holy crap, you're a real dog! &*#↗…]
Feng Ran, hooking his arm around his neck, was feeling drowsy: "Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I'll wake up on this huge medical bed without a roof later, otherwise... otherwise..."
Before she could say what else to do, Feng Ran fell silent. Shen Shiqian then used a thermometer to measure her temperature again, which read 38.5 degrees Celsius. He immediately panicked.
Fortunately, the two little robots were calmer than him. Xiao Lan had already moved the hovercar to the front door and set the route in advance. Xiao Fen brought Feng Ran's coat and blanket. When Shen Shiqian put them on Feng Ran, it ran back to the room and came back to stick Xiao Jiu on Feng Ran's forehead with a "smack".
Shen Shiqian stared at the bewildered little blue octopus.
Xiao Fen said in an elite and experienced tone, "This way the cooling efficiency is good."
Xiao Lan watched in astonishment. After analyzing the feasibility and efficiency, she thoughtfully reminded Shen Shiqian: "Remember to flip it over when it's no longer frozen."
So Shen Shiqian had no choice but to carry Feng Ran out like that. As he left, he was still wondering why the artificial intelligence that Feng Ran had handled had such abstract thoughts and ideas.
As for Xiao Jiu, being a coward, even though it was inexplicably kidnapped while eating, inexplicably dumped here, and inexplicably felt the floor was hot under its feet, it didn't dare to move because Shen Shiqian was inexplicably radiating an unfriendly aura.
So it closed its eyes and silently curled itself into a pancake, instantly making the area covered by the cooling compress even larger.
torment.
