My throat was so dry that it felt like smoking was coming out of it, and my head was dizzy and swollen.
In the middle of the night, Xia Runrun, who had a high fever, was sent to the infirmary by Yang Fan and Yang's parents.
"Children are weak... plus, a lot of things have happened in the past few days, so the temperature has dropped quite a bit. That's why the child has a high fever." Doctor Zeng, who was woken up from his sleep, was a young man in his 30s wearing glasses. He had a gentle and handsome appearance, and the only flaw was probably the thick dark circles under his eyes.
"I just gave her a shot of fever-reducing medicine. The child's temperature should be down soon... You don't have to worry too much. I'll use a wet towel to cool her down later, and she should be fine."
"Thank you, Dr. Zeng. If it weren't for you and Dr. He in our shelter, we would have no place to get treatment for colds and fevers." Mother Yang thanked Dr. Zeng, then looked down at Xia Ruanruan who was in her arms.
The redness on the little girl's cheeks had gradually faded, and her long, thick eyelashes were curled and upturned, coupled with her chubby, delicate facial features like a doll. Mother Yang couldn't help but reach out and touch the little girl's soft, white cheeks.
Tsk!
It would be great if this child was born to their Yang Fan.
As a member of the army of people urging marriage, Yang's mother, who is eager to have grandchildren, feels a little envious when she sees other people's cute children.
The fever-reducing medicine was highly effective. In just half an hour, Xia Ruanruan's fever had subsided. The three members of the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief. Dr. Zeng nodded in satisfaction and shook the thermometer. "Alright, there shouldn't be any major problems tonight... Get some good sleep and stay warm. Children are more susceptible to illness in this cold weather."
"But speaking of which... these mutant beasts this kid has are pretty good." Doctor Zeng looked up. Unable to squeeze into the infirmary, he could only gaze longingly at Xia Ruanruan's two large mutants and the two smaller ones staring up at her. He rubbed his chin and sighed, "They actually knew their master had a fever in the middle of the night and knocked on your door for help."
Although the IQ of mutated animals has been significantly improved, they are still animals. They do not understand medical knowledge and do not know how to build infrastructure for houses.
"It's pretty good..." Yang Fan looked at the two adults and two children with some envy. Although their Maomao was smart, he always felt that he was lacking something compared to the others in front of him.
Yang Fan scratched his head and looked at the little white cat next to him staring at the little girl with a serious face, as if it was looking at a piece of fragile porcelain with a loving expression, and suddenly he realized!
The one with less hair in their family has the same expression as his mother, right?
Looking at the four faces filled with worried looks of "my baby is injured, mom is so heartbroken", as well as the strange "maternal" atmosphere, Yang Fan suddenly realized.
…
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
Even though Xia Runrun seemed cheerful and had no worries these days, always playing and frolicking with her cats and dogs, she was actually worried about her parents in the other world and her own future.
The scenes that kept recurring in the dream were both painful and real, but when her parents really responded to her in the dream, the little girl felt particularly at ease, and even a sweet smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
It was not until the next morning when Xia Runrun opened her eyes hazily that she was almost frightened by Xiaobai's serious face.
The soft and chubby Xiaobai now had a fierce aura, quite stern like a director of the teaching department. It retracted its cat paw that was placed on the little girl's forehead to feel her temperature, and shook its tail.
"Xiao, Xiaobai..."
Xia Ruanruan stuttered, looking at the kitten. Just as she opened her mouth, she realized her throat was about to smoke, a stinging pain, and even her brows unconsciously knitted slightly. Only then did she realize that she was no longer in the familiar bedroom, but in the shelter's infirmary. Yang Fan was standing beside her, looking at her with concern.
"Ruanruan has woken up. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Tell Uncle Yang and he will help you find a doctor." His parents were old, and after they stabilized after being busy for a while, Yang Fan let them go back to rest and stayed in the infirmary alone with the little girl and the four mutant beasts.
There was a small bed for treatment in the infirmary, and Yang Fan casually pulled out a stool and sat on it for the whole night.
"I'm a little thirsty and want to drink some water..."
The little girl touched her throat with her chubby little hand. She frowned and felt a burning sensation in her throat. "Uncle Yang...what happened to me last night?"
My whole body felt as if it was falling apart, and I felt uncomfortable. My head was especially dizzy and felt very uncomfortable.
Yang Fan helped the little girl up, poured a cup of warm water from the thermos and handed it to her.
The little white cat looked at Yang Fan coldly, jumped off the bed without saying a word, and gave him space to take care of Xia Runrun. As a cat, Chu Hang couldn't handle many things.
Holding the glass in both hands, the little girl lowered her head to drink water. Her eyelashes were thick and dense like crow feathers. She looked particularly well-behaved and cute, which made Yang Fan's heart soften instantly.
"You were sick last night and had a high fever in the middle of the night... They found me late at night and asked me to take you to see a doctor. Your Grandma Yang and Grandpa Yang were also here last night, as well as Doctor Zeng... But you are well now. Have a good rest during the day and watch cartoons. You can go out and play with other children tomorrow." Yang Fan did not have much experience in taking care of children, and he felt a little guilty when facing Xia Runrun.
If he hadn't just been thinking about going to the planting area in the center of the square to protect other survivors the day before yesterday and hadn't stayed in the snow for five or six hours, the child might not have gotten sick.
"If there's a need in the shelter in the future, just let your cat and dog go with me. It's safer for you to stay in the shelter." Yang Fan couldn't find any other good way to solve the current dilemma. If it were spring, summer, or autumn, it wouldn't be a big deal for children to stay outside for a few hours. But now it was snowing heavily outside, and there was a thick layer of snow on the road. In such a cold day, the probability of getting sick was too high.
Xia Ruanruan raised her head, and her crystal eyes like black grapes looked at the slightly embarrassed Yang Fan. Her eyebrows immediately curved into two small crescents, and she smiled brightly, "Uncle Yang, are you worried about me?"
"It's okay! My illness last night had nothing to do with Uncle Yang. It was my own poor health."
The little girl's voice was like the bright April sun, sweet and warm. "Next time I go out with Egg Yolk and the others, I'll definitely remember to wear thick coats! That way we won't be afraid of the cold!"
"Okay, okay. Then remember to wear more clothes when you go out next time." The soft voice was like a bowl of boiling hot soup, which immediately poured into Yang Fan's body, making him feel warm all over. Even Yang Fan's originally slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed, and his voice became more gentle.
Who doesn’t like such a sensible and obedient child?
However, while agreeing with "yes", Yang Fan was thinking that if there were no major incidents in the shelter in the future, he would let the child take the mutant animals out on missions less often in the next few years. It's not easy for anyone these days, so the more care he can give, the better.
Xia Ruanruan's treatment had significantly improved due to her cold and fever. Not only did she have meals brought to her room, but Yang's mother even planned to take care of her herself. Fortunately, Xia Ruanruan wasn't exactly a four-year-old child. Seeing that her condition was much better than the night before and her fever had subsided, Xia Ruanruan refused to be treated and followed Egg Yolk, Big Black, and the other four back to their room.
As soon as Xia Ruanruan closed the door, she tilted her head back and thanked the four children at home: "Thank you so much for what happened last night! If you hadn't discovered that I was sick, I might still be dizzy with a fever."
"Meow~" Egg Yolk replied hesitantly.
It’s not wrong to say that they discovered the opportunity to help...but the big fat orange cat still has some doubts about life.
Could it be that it's not actually a cat, but a person? It's simply sealed within a cat, having forgotten its past memories? Yesterday, after watching the Frog Prince cartoon, Egg Yolk looked at Little White with a guilty look. He would never admit that even though he was so big, he couldn't even compare to Little White, a useless cat who didn't know how to hunt.
"Woof woof woof~! Awoo~" (You're welcome, Ruanruan~ I'll go out and find something to eat later, you can just rest at home)
"Quack, quack, quack~" (Soft, have a good rest~Soft, have a good rest~)
Without as complicated emotions as Egg Yolk, Dahei and 666 told Xia Ruanruan separately to let the little girl rest well in the room and they could go out to find food by themselves. They would feel at ease to go out after letting the two cats stay at home with her.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself~~I will try my best not to get sick again~" The little girl patted her chest and promised her little cutie seriously.
The little white cat lay aside and raised its eyelids. This kind of self-mumbling "Cats, Dogs, Birds and Humans" that happens every day, if you don't listen to the content, but only look at the expression and movements, it really seems to be true.
"But speaking of which...I had a dream last night..."
The little girl scratched her cheek and gave a sweet smile to the four kids at home.
"I dreamed that my mother called me home for dinner. She had prepared a table full of delicious food... It smelled so good, and she coaxed me to be a good boy..."
"My mother has long black hair... It's a pity that I can't draw, otherwise I could draw it for you, look, look...?"
The little girl raised her hand and drew a line the length of a hair. She originally wanted to chat with her four little cuties about their parents in the previous life, but when she lowered her head, Xia Runrun was stunned there, and saw two long white hairs stuck to her pink flowery pajamas.
The hair was white and very long.
One is about 60 to 70 centimeters long...
Xia Ruanruan: “???”
"Whose are these two hairs? Doesn't Grandma Yang have short hair?" Xia Runrun pinched the two hairs on her collar, looked up at the four people in the family with a confused face, and asked a soul-searching question.
She clearly remembered Yang Fan saying that there were only three members of the Yang family and Dr. Zeng last night. Three men and two women, and her hair was short, so where did these two hairs come from?
Chu Hang: “…”
Egg Yolk, Big Black and 666 didn't say anything. They all looked at the white cat squatting on the small stool next to them.
