Chapter 51 Burning like a red-hot furnace, she fell headfirst into his arms...
The next morning.
My biological clock wakes me up on time for work.
When Sang Li opened her eyes, her first reaction was to be stunned.
She had thought she would wake up alone.
But Lu Jin lay beside her, one arm still draped over her waist, as if he hadn't moved all night.
Ah, last night really wasn't a dream.
She stared at him for a while, feeling a little intimidated, yet also wanting to laugh.
I'm sober now.
Just as she was about to quietly move out a little, the hand on her waist suddenly tightened, pulling her back to her original position.
Lu Jin opened his eyes, his voice still hoarse from the early morning: "What are you thinking about?"
Sang Li: "..."
Is your hand positioned correctly?
elder brother?
My head hurts so much.
Or did you do something else last night?
She couldn't remember.
All I remember is asking myself, "Do we do it?"
Her eyes darted around, and she asked softly, "Did we...do we do it last night?"
She spoke very tactfully, even sounding somewhat hesitant.
Lu Jin looked at her, his eyes like turbulent undercurrents, raised an eyebrow with an ambiguous expression, and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Sang Li pursed her lips.
It seems not.
But it seems like there is something else.
Why does my body hurt so much?
Sang Li said with certainty, "It hurts so much."
Lu Jin: ?
Seeing her feigning pitifulness, Lu Jin could no longer bear it: "I didn't do it."
Sang Li: "Huh? Then why do my joints hurt?"
Lu Jin scoffed: "Stop pretending. If you really did it, would you still be able to talk?"
Sang Li became incredibly famous. What didn't she do?
She shrank under the covers and muttered softly, "It's not like you don't have the ability."
Is it not going to work?
I still don't like women...
Or rather, ah, I'm really not feeling well.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jin noticed something was amiss, and his eyes sharpened.
He leaned down and placed his fingertips on her forehead.
The next second, the expression on his face suddenly darkened.
"You have a fever."
And it burned very badly.
The temperature beneath my fingertips was astonishingly high, as if I could feel the heat even through my skin.
Lifting the blanket, sure enough, Sang Li looked like she was trapped in a steamer; her skin was flushed and her breathing was off.
Her lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes were red. He initially thought she had just woken up.
Abnormal individuals rarely contract human diseases, even those like Sang Li who were once human.
If an abnormal body becomes ill, the surrounding magnetic field will definitely be affected.
It will be discovered and recorded.
No, that won't work.
Sang Li has a fever.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
Lu Jin didn't even know when she suddenly developed a fever; it seemed like just a second ago.
After she woke up.
Lu Jin took out a temperature gun from the bedside table, pointed it at her forehead, and the red light lit up with a "beep".
39.5°C.
high temperature.
Lu Jin frowned; this was the first time he had ever seen an abnormal person have a fever.
Theoretically, this situation should never have occurred. While the bodies of anomalous beings are structurally similar to those of humans, they have many differences. Human viruses cannot easily infect anomalous beings, especially since there is no source of the virus in the entire house, and the individual is not experiencing any discomfort.
"Hmm..."
Sang Li felt unwell all over, her eyelids were heavy and she couldn't keep them open. Her head was getting heavier and heavier, and she realized that something was wrong with her: "Why am I sick? Did I catch a cold yesterday?"
Lu Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's all my fault. Don't move. I'll go get you something to eat so you can replenish your strength."
He wasn't sure what medication Sang Li could take in her condition.
Or rather, how to treat her.
A fever in an abnormal body is very serious and can affect magnetic field fluctuations.
Sang Li shook her head: "I don't want to eat anything."
"Eat something first, I'll keep you company today."
He went into the kitchen, made a cup of vitamin C powder, added a little water to adjust the temperature, and brought it back. Sang Li was still lying there with her eyes closed, her cheeks flushed, and her lips slightly parted, as if the warmth of last night hadn't faded. Her lips, which he had kissed a little too passionately, were now red like cherries and swollen from being bitten for a long time.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and supported the back of her head, and carefully helped her sit up.
"Drink some water," he said softly.
Sang Li opened her eyes groggily, her gaze as if through a layer of mist, clearly not fully recovered yet.
She hummed in response, then nestled obediently in his arms and slowly drank the water from the cup.
Lu Jin touched the sweat on the back of her neck, his eyes gradually dimming.
He recalled the physiological knowledge he had learned about anomalous beings. Among humanoid anomalous beings, their immune systems are abnormal, but sometimes they will exhibit similar symptoms, such as when launching an attack, when injured, or when accumulating energy. But now she looked exactly like a human with a high fever, leaning weakly against him, too lazy to even utter a word.
Could it be related to yesterday's abnormal magnetic field?
Lu Jin laid her down and folded the blanket to cover her. He sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his fingertips against his palm.
He won't be going out today.
She needs him.
The matter concerning BEAM0248 can be put on hold regarding work; Tang Lan and her team are capable of handling it.
"What would you like to eat?" Lu Jin asked. "Anything is fine, chocolate cake or milk pudding if you want. I'll make you some steamed egg custard later; you need to replenish your energy. Let me see if I have any medication for you."
The medications that the administration routinely prepares are too harsh and painful, so they can't be used on Sang Li.
There must be other ways.
Lu Jin sat on the edge of the bed and patted the blanket.
Sang Li stirred slightly under the covers.
Then, a soft hand reached out from under the covers and gently tugged at his clothes.
"It's so hot..." she murmured in a hoarse voice, "Come closer, lie down on me."
Lu Jin didn't understand why, but he still sat down next to her, just like when the two of them were sleeping.
The next second, she threw off the blanket and threw herself into Lu Jin's arms without warning.
She was burning up with heat, like a red-hot furnace, and she fell headfirst into his arms.
“You’re feeling cold,” she whispered, her voice soft as if she were pleading, “Stay with me.”
Lu Jin was stunned for a moment.
He looked down at Sang Li in his arms. Her hair clung to his chest, radiating warmth, her cheeks were abnormally flushed, and her eyes were glistening with tears.
How could he possibly be dead?
His body temperature wasn't significantly different from that of a normal human. But if she said that, could it be that her body temperature had risen again?
He picked up the temperature gun again and aimed it at her forehead.
39.7.
When Sang Li woke up in the morning, her body temperature should have been around 37 degrees Celsius.
After about 20 minutes, the temperature had reached nearly 40 degrees Celsius.
If this continues, I'll get delirious.
"Sang Li," he said in a lower voice, "is there anything else that's bothering you?"
He needs to identify the symptoms.
She shook her head, her voice muffled like drizzling rain on leaves: "I'm not hungry, I just want you to be with me."
Lu Jin didn't say anything, but simply hugged her a little tighter.
The phone suddenly rang.
The abrupt and unusual telephone ringtone sounded particularly jarring in the room.
Lu Jin frowned, looked down at Sang Li who was still nestled in his arms with her cheeks flushed red, and held her with one arm while answering the phone with the other.
She was a little anxious, and Lu Jin patted her shoulder, as if soothing a kitten.
“Lu Jin,” the voice on the other end of the phone was urgent; it was his direct superior. “Come over here immediately. There’s an emergency.”
Lu Jin's eyes sharpened, and his fingers tightened slightly as he gripped his phone.
The leader won't make a phone call unless there's an urgent task.
but.
"Now!"
The person on the other end of the phone said, "I don't care what's wrong with you, I need to see you in forty minutes."
I cannot refuse.
"receive."
"Get there as soon as possible, and be careful."
"good."
He had originally planned to take the day off. No matter how urgent the mission, he wanted to stay home with Sang Li. But now the Administration had issued a direct transfer order, leaving him with no choice.
He looked up at the person in his arms.
Sang Li heard it too. Feeling wronged and displeased, she questioned, "Are you leaving?"
