"Wow! How come he is soaked all over, like a drowned rat, and so hot, as if he has a fever." Zhou Yu said to Xiao Shuangning in surprise.
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Xiao Shuangning also touched Xiao Youchen's forehead with her hand, "What should I do? Brother must have rushed to the hospital in the rain overnight just to find me. It's all my fault. I'm the one who hurt him. I'm just a parasite, useless."
"He definitely can't wear these clothes anymore, otherwise his condition will get worse. Let me help him take off his wet clothes first. Go to the duty room and see if there's a doctor. Ask him to come over for treatment." Zhou Yu remained calm in the face of danger. While helping Xiao Youchen take off his clothes, he instructed Xiao Shuangning.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Shuangning rushed out of the ward to find a doctor without thinking.
Zhou Yu took off all the wet clothes on Xiao Youchen, brought his own quilt over, and covered Xiao Youchen tightly with it.
There was no doctor in the duty room, only a nurse. Without saying a word, Xiao Shuangning dragged the nurse to the ward.
The nurse came over to check on them, but didn't dare to prescribe the right medicine. She only taught them some physical cooling methods.
Xiao Shuangning followed the nurse's instructions, changing the water and towels for Xiao Youchen over and over again, and stayed by his side with all her heart.
Zhou Yu was too embarrassed to sleep alone, so he sat beside Xiao Shuangning. However, Xiao Shuangning didn't want to chat with him, so he dozed off while sitting there.
Shumei was waiting at home worriedly. Although Wen Dazui came to tell her that Xiao Shuangning was safe, Xiao Youchen suddenly ran away to the town. Her heart was in turmoil and she began to worry about Xiao Youchen again.
Looking at the cold, lifeless food on the table, her stomach growled with hunger, but she couldn't eat a single bite. She picked up her chopsticks, put them down again, and sighed all the time.
She wandered around the house again and again, and finally, out of worry, she walked towards Wen Dazui's house with a flashlight.
Although the rain had stopped, there was still a lot of water on the ground. She hurried to the storage room and knocked on the door somewhat embarrassedly.
Wen Dazui came to open the door with his clothes on, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and yawning one after another with his mouth wide open.
Seeing Wen Dazui's expression, Shumei said awkwardly, "Sister Huimei, I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night."
"Shumei! It's so late, is there something urgent?"
"That is... you said..."
Wen Dazui had just crawled out of her warm bed when she shivered at the cold wind. She dragged Shumei inside and said, "Ouch! It's freezing outside. Let's go inside first."
"Sister Huimei, didn't Ningning call back from the hospital? Can you call her back?"
"Of course! My phone has caller ID, so you can call me back. Are you worried about Youchen or Ningning?"
"Ningning reported that she was safe, so I have nothing to worry about. But it was so windy and rainy, and I was still a little worried about Youchen going to town alone."
"Okay, then I'll find your phone number and call it back." Wen Dazui said, walking to the phone and looking for the number that Xiao Shuangning had called before.
"Sister Huimei, I'm really sorry to bother you so late at night." Shumei always felt guilty and apologized to Wen Dazui again and again.
"It's okay, we're one family, there's no need to be so formal. Hey! It's connected..." Wen Dazui put the microphone to his ear, pretending to listen. "Here, take it and listen. No one's picked up yet. I'll go get you a cup of hot water."
Wen Dazui handed the microphone to Shumei and turned around to find the warm water bottle.
Shumei held the receiver tightly, as if she was afraid that it would grow wings and fly away.
No one answered the phone, and finally there was a "beep, beep, beep" sound.
"Sister Huimei, it's beeping, did you not answer? Or did you hang up?"
Wen Dazui handed Shumei the steaming cup of water, took the receiver, put it to his ear, listened for a moment, and pressed the replay button. "It's late at night, I guess he's asleep. I'll call him back. It's cold, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Shumei gulped down a mouthful of hot water. She hadn't eaten dinner yet, so her stomach felt empty. With one sip, half the cup of water was gone. She clutched the hot cup tightly to keep it warm, staring at the phone with anticipation.
She was hoping the call would go through, hoping to hear Xiao Youchen's voice. The fact that the call didn't go through just now made her even more worried.
