Chapter 47
The two groups arrived at the hospital at the same time. Shi Wan was in a very bad condition. He had tinnitus caused by fever and was completely confused. The bodyguards gave Shi Wan emergency cooling treatment on the way there, but his condition did not improve much.
When Gu Zhinian picked up Shi Wan, Shi Wan's hands grabbed the clothes on Gu Zhinian's chest and said, "It hurts."
Shi Wan's voice was trembling, his body was shaking in pain, his lips were bitten white, and his face was bloodless, as white as paper, as if it would be blown away in the next moment.
Gu Zhinian could only hug Shi Wan tightly and stride into the hospital. He Cheng was waiting for them early.
"39.5 degrees." He Cheng looked at the measured temperature and did not dare to slow down for a moment as he reached out to check Shi Wan's ears. As soon as his hand touched Shi Wan's head, Shi Wan groaned in pain.
Gu Zhinian stood aside and watched, wishing he could feel the pain instead of Shi Wan, but he didn't dare to disturb He Cheng's judgment.
"It's probably just discomfort caused by high fever, not a problem with the cochlea. Reduce the fever first, and then we'll do a detailed examination." He Cheng prescribed some medicine and asked the nurse to prepare an infusion for Shi Wan.
"He Cheng, he's in pain." Gu Zhinian looked at Shi Wan's brows twisted in pain and wanted to reach out to touch Shi Wan's face, but then he remembered that Shi Wan was in pain, so he retracted his outstretched hand.
"I know it's caused by a high fever. Even ordinary people would feel uncomfortable with a high fever, let alone someone like Shi Wan. It will be fine once the fever goes down."
"Every year, the temperature drops with the change of seasons. He has a weak constitution, so he can only take it slowly." He Cheng was prepared for Shi Wan to get sick as the temperature had dropped in the past few days. This was much better than before. In previous years, Shi Wan's cold and fever would take half a month to recover as soon as October began, and the back of his hand was full of pinholes from the infusion.
He had to do everything by himself, and Shi Wan didn't dare to use an IV. Every year there was always a period of time when the back of Shi Wan's hand was purple with needle marks.
Shi Wan couldn't hear what they were saying. There was only a buzzing in his head and a severe headache. When the nurse gave him an injection and an IV, Shi Wan didn't dare move his hands no matter how much pain it was. His body had already formed muscle memory.
"Go to sleep. Okay, I'm here." Gu Zhinian sat down so that his eyes were level with Shi Wan's. He spoke slowly, word by word, so that Shi Wan could see his mouth shape clearly. After Shi Wan saw it clearly, he nodded weakly and closed his eyes.
very nice.
This was Shi Wan's last thought before he fell asleep. Before, no matter how uncomfortable Shi Wan felt, he had to keep his eyes open and watch himself. In fact, the nurses also let him take a nap so that they would remember to come in and check on him to make sure he didn't recover. Shi Wan didn't want to cause trouble for them, fearing that they would have to worry about him when they were busy. The more familiar the nurses were with Shi Wan, the more distressed they felt.
When the infusion was almost finished, Shi Wan suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and reached out to press the bedside bell, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Gu Zhinian grabbed it.
Shi Wan met Gu Zhinian's gaze, and Gu Zhinian put his hand back into the quilt. The nurse had already come in to remove the needle for Shi Wan. Because there was a hot water bag under his hand, his arm was not numb or cold, but warm instead. Just when he wanted to sleep and drink water, Gu Zhinian had already brought the straw of the water cup to Shi Wan's mouth.
He Cheng said he would wait until tomorrow to get checked before putting on the external unit.
Gu Zhinian's handwriting was large, so Shi Wan could easily read it. He murmured, "Hmm."
【Want to eat first or sleep later? 】
"I'm sleepy..." Shi Wan shook his head gently on the pillow and closed his eyes. He was in pain all over and didn't feel hungry anymore.
Gu Zhinian put the notebook down, put his hand on Shi Wan's head, and gently massaged the acupoints on Shi Wan's head according to He Cheng's instructions to make Shi Wan feel more comfortable. Gu Zhinian didn't dare to use too much force.
He slept until ten o'clock in the evening. When Shi Wan woke up, only a small light was on in the ward. His lips were not as dry and painful as before. Gu Zhinian was sitting next to him with a computer on his legs. When he noticed that Shi Wan was awake, Gu Zhinian immediately put down the computer, covered Shi Wan's eyes with his hands, and turned on the light. After a long time, he waited for Shi Wan to adapt before taking his hand away.
"I'm hungry..."
"Gurgle..." Before Gu Zhinian could finish his words, he heard Shi Wan's stomach growling. Shi Wan didn't hear it, but he knew what the movement of his stomach was. Shi Wan covered his eyes and his ears turned red.
Gu Zhinian held back his laughter and went to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel. He wiped Shi Wan's face and hands. When he was about to take out the porridge, Shi Wan struggled to get up from the hospital bed. Gu Zhinian supported Shi Wan.
"Toilet." Shi Wan was embarrassed to look at Gu Zhinian.
Gu Zhinian smiled and squatted down to help Shi Wan put on his shoes. He helped Shi Wan go to the bathroom. When they reached the door, Shi Wan locked him outside. However, the door was not locked, so Gu Zhinian could go in at any time.
After coming out of the bathroom and returning to the bed, Gu Zhinian carefully supported Shi Wan, fearing that he would bump into the IV needle in Shi Wan's hand. Although it didn't really have any effect, it was painful just by looking at it.
Gu Zhinian fed Shi Wan the porridge mouthful by mouthful. Shi Wan actually couldn't taste the porridge at all. It was just like chewing wax to fill his stomach. Shi Wan ate half a bowl of porridge and couldn't eat any more.
Shi Wan shook her head gently, dodged the spoon, and pulled Gu Zhinian's clothes: "My phone."
Shi Wan couldn't hear and didn't know how loud his voice was, so he could only speak slowly. Gu Zhinian put down the bowl and handed the phone to Shi Wan.
【You can only play for a while. 】
"Yeah." Shi Wan nodded when he saw the words on the notebook.
Seeing that Shi Wan listened attentively, Gu Zhinian put down his notebook and finished the porridge that Shi Wan had left. Shi Wan replied to the messages of Sang Sijia and several of her roommates, asked for leave from the counselor, and said goodbye to the teacher. Then he put down his phone.
Before going to bed, Gu Zhinian filled some hot water for Shi Wan to soak her feet. Gu Zhinian held Shi Wan's slender white ankle, which was so fragile that it seemed like it could be broken with just a little force. The movements of Gu Zhinian's hands became lighter and lighter, making Shi Wan feel itchy and numb.
Shi Wan blushed and didn't dare to look at Gu Zhinian. She wanted to pull her foot back, but Gu Zhinian didn't give Shi Wan the chance.
"Second brother, I can wash it myself." Shi Wan, who was not wearing the cochlear implant external device, was so anxious that he completely forgot to control his volume, and his voice echoed in the ward.
Gu Zhinian smiled and looked up at Shi Wan, mouthing "obedient" without saying a word. Shi Wan obediently stopped moving and let Gu Zhinian go.
When it was time to go to bed, Gu Zhinian tucked the quilt in for Shi Wan. When he was about to lie down on the sofa next to him, Shi Wan held his fingers. His eyes were clear and bright, and his eyes were full of Gu Zhinian.
Shi Wan didn't want Gu Zhinian to sleep on the sofa bed. The bed in this ward was very big and wide, and could accommodate two people.
Gu Zhinian seemed to understand Shi Wan's meaning. He lay down on Shi Wan's right side and held Shi Wan in his arms, avoiding the IV needle in his left hand.
Leaning in Gu Zhinian's arms, Shi Wan rubbed against him, found a comfortable position and fell asleep in a short while.
Gu Zhinian didn't dare to fall asleep. He remembered He Cheng's words and was afraid that Shi Wan would suddenly have a fever again at night. He woke up several times throughout the night to check Shi Wan's temperature. He didn't feel relieved until a ray of light appeared in the sky.
