Chapter 269 I'm Sick



Noon.

The room was dim, the curtains tightly blocked out the light from outside, and based on the brightness inside, it was impossible to tell what time it was.

There was a dull smell in the air, with a hint of bitter medicine.

The figure on the bed moved.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Yu Xinghe coughed a few times and slowly woke up.

The heavy headache made her close her eyes again the moment she opened them.

After five minutes, the brain gradually turned on.

He picked up the phone beside him and checked the time.

11:23

"sky……"

This was the first time she slept until noon.

The lock screen shows many unread messages, text messages, and calls from many people.

Zhou Jingyan, Nian Nian, younger brother, parents, tutoring teacher...

Yu Xinghe felt tired and threw his phone aside.

Today she just wanted to empty her body and have a good rest for a day.

Think nothing, do nothing.

After lying down for a while, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Zhou Jingyan and Cong Nian to let them know he was safe.

Then he threw the phone away again.

Her throat felt like it was blocked by cotton, and she was hoarse and couldn't utter a complete sentence. She swallowed but it didn't relieve the anxiety at all.

The water in the thermos on the bedside was almost empty.

Yu Xinghe let out a long sigh.

She only realized it was raining when she came out of the hot pot restaurant last night. She didn't have the habit of bringing an umbrella.

Zhou Jingyan and I waited at the door for a while, but the rain didn't stop.

In autumn, the temperature at night will be very low.

Especially when it rains, the raindrops are as cold as ice.

If we wait any longer, both of us will catch a cold.

She braved the rain to go to a nearby convenience store to buy an umbrella, but unfortunately, the umbrella was sold out due to the sudden downpour.

So the two of them could only go home miserably wearing the same coat.

He took off his coat under Yu Xinghe's tough attitude.

On a windy and rainy autumn night, the small coat can't keep out the cold wind and rain.

She was only wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt. The cold wind blew over her, and she shivered with cold. Goose bumps appeared all over her body, and her lips were bitten until they were pale, but she didn't say a word.

Zhou Jingyan standing beside her was not much better than her.

His fair and handsome face was completely pale from the cold, but he insisted that he was not cold and even gave her more of his coat.

This made her feel a little guilty.

She was in good health, so getting caught in the rain would be fine, but Zhou Jingyan had always been in poor health since he was a child...

If you get caught in the rain, you will probably get sick.

Besides, he came to find me. If he had gone home directly after school, he wouldn't have gotten wet in the rain.

The only thing to be thankful for is that my home is very close and I can get into the community in just ten minutes of jogging.

However, he still couldn't escape the fate of being soaked like a drowned rat.

She vaguely remembered that when she and Zhou Jingyan ran into the corridor, the dim voice-controlled lights came on, and they looked at each other in the dim light of the corridor of the residential building.

The surroundings were quiet with only the sounds of wind and rain, and the naughty wind came in through the gap in the unit door, blowing up their clothes.

Her hair was a mess and stuck to her cheeks, and her clothes were dripping with water.

Soon there were several puddles of water at my feet.

The young man's thin but not weak body stubbornly blocked the wind blowing in from the door. His eyes were bright, like the stars hidden in the rain clouds in the sky.

"Go back and take a hot bath. I'll make you pumpkin porridge tomorrow."

She reminded him as they parted at the door.

This was her only way to make it up to him.

After lying on the bed for a while, too lazy to even turn over, Yu Xinghe lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and opened the curtains.

I thought it rained last night, so it should be cloudy today.

However, the bright sunlight that suddenly filled the bedroom still stung her eyes.

She closed her eyes for a long time before she adjusted to the light.

She walked towards the bedroom door in slippers, preparing to go to the kitchen to pour some water to take the medicine, and then cook a pot of pumpkin porridge for Zhou Jingyan.

An unfamiliar feeling of powerlessness enveloped her entire body, and she felt so dizzy that she wondered if she would fall asleep on the ground while walking.

Her hair was messy like a bird's coop, her silk pajamas hung loosely on her body, and two of the top buttons were undone, revealing her snow-white chest and beautifully shaped collarbone.

Yu Xinghe yawned, and some physiological tears secreted from the corners of his eyes.

She wiped it casually with the back of her hand, not worrying at all about who would see her current sloppy appearance.

At this time, Yu Xinghai had already gone out to school. The house was so quiet, there must be no one there.

Because she was familiar with everything in the house, she almost groped her way to the kitchen with her eyes closed.

Pour water and make cold medicine.

Before I even drink it, the root of my tongue starts to feel bitter.

She drank it in one gulp while holding her breath, then sniffed and frowned, as if she was enduring something.

In the end, I couldn't hold it in any longer and went to vomit into the toilet for a while.

When he came out of the bathroom, he looked even more haggard.

She took the thermometer, put it in her collar and tucked it under her armpit. She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, and finally she woke up a little.

He patted his pale face in the mirror, and there was a sick look between his eyebrows and eyes.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xinghe, who prided herself on having excellent physical fitness, caught a cold after being caught in the rain.

It seems that I have been busy with midterm exams recently and haven't had enough rest, so my immunity has decreased.

Open the refrigerator, take out the pumpkin and yellow millet, and walk to the workbench.

He skillfully used the knife to cut a piece of pumpkin and put the rest back.

The peeled and succulent orange pumpkin was cut into small pieces between the flexible and slender fingers.

Add water, rice, pumpkin, a handful of sugar and glutinous rice balls to the rice cooker. Finally, cover the lid, set the timer, and wait for the pumpkin porridge to be cooked.

Yu Xinghe raised his head and turned his neck.

Nian Nian once said that she liked watching her cooking the most, which was pleasing to the eyes and charming.

I turned on the faucet to wash my hands, prepared to change clothes and went next door to wake Zhou Jingyan up.
