Zhiyuan looked tired. He looked up at her and uttered three words clearly, "Lin Qingping."
Lin Qingping: …
This brat!
However, he smiled happily. The child was not stupid! The child was fine!
Lin Qingping quickly poured him a cup of hot water from the kettle, "Come on, drink some water quickly, drink more water and you'll get better faster!"
Zhiyuan's lips were very dry and he drank the whole glass of water.
After drinking the water, my throat feels much clearer when I speak.
Zhiyuan looked out the window, "Is it late?"
Lin Qingping nodded, "Yes! It's almost midnight!"
"Are you alone?" Zhiyuan looked around.
Lin Qingping smiled and nodded, "Second Aunt and Grandpa are not at home today. Grandma didn't let her come. I made delicious food for you at home. You will have something to eat when you go back."
Zhiyuan turned his head away.
"What's wrong? Or, you don't want me to accompany you?" Lin Qingping said deliberately.
Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly opened, and he glanced at her, with a rather condescending look, "Don't do that next time."
"What?" Don't want what?
"Next time I'm sick, don't take me to the hospital alone at night. I will get better on my own."
Lin Qingping suddenly understood what his nonsense meant. This child still remembered that she was afraid of the dark!
"Nonsense!" She pinched his little face, feeling an indescribable warmth in her heart, "Don't get sick next time! What's a good thing about getting sick? There'll be a next time!"
Looking back, it seemed that no one in her previous life cared about what she was afraid of.
When she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she was aggressive and unreasonable, and no one in her husband's family would think of her as such a troublemaker and be afraid of her.
Later, Gu Juncheng was gone. She, a single woman, worked hard to create a world of her own. Everyone treated her as a strong woman and always came to her to ask for things and help, as if she was born with an iron wall and was everyone's support.
Such a little kid actually cares about what she is afraid of. She is not indestructible...
Although, in fact, she is not afraid of the dark.
Zhiyuan saw her eyes suddenly turn red, thinking that she was worried that he would get sick again, so he said seriously, "Really, if you get sick, you will get better on your own, don't worry."
What are you talking about?
What does it mean that the illness will get better on its own?
Lin Qingping frowned, "Have you ever been sick and recovered on your own?"
Zhiyuan nodded, "On the day my father died, I felt the same way, hot, with a headache, and uncomfortable, but I got better on my own later."
Lin Qingping felt even more upset after hearing this.
What on earth happened to this child!
His mother left him early and his father died. Such a young child suffered so many setbacks and had to endure the illness alone...
Lin Qingping looked at his rosy little face and felt that the child was both pitiful and cute. She couldn't help but bend down and quickly kiss him on the little face.
Zhiyuan was obviously stunned.
Then he stopped talking and his face turned even redder.
Lin Qingping smiled and patted his little hands, "Don't say that you're better off being alone when you're sick. If you don't feel bad for yourself, your aunt will feel bad for you. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, tell your aunt when she's around, and tell grandpa and grandma when she's not at home. Don't hide it by yourself!"
Zhiyuan was stunned and still didn't say anything.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Qingping frowned.
Zhiyuan looked at her and nodded with a red face.
That’s more like it!
Lin Qingping smiled.
Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking. Lin Qingping went to find a doctor and told him that the child's fever had subsided.
After the doctor examined her, he felt relieved and prescribed oral medicine for her, telling her when to take it and the dosage.
After all this trouble, Zhiyuan felt tired again.
Lin Qingping covered him with a blanket, fearing that he would sweat and catch a cold. "Being sick is very tiring. If you are tired, just go to sleep."
Zhiyuan blinked and suddenly asked her, "What did you just say?"
"What?"
"Just now when the doctor asked you where my dad was, what did you say?"
Lin Qingping was slightly surprised, "Did you hear it?"
"Well, I think I heard a little bit. What did you say?"
"I said, in the army..." Lin Qingping was stunned.
Why did the child ask this? Did she answer poorly? She was really just in a hurry and didn't want to tell strangers that the child's father was gone. Since the doctor regarded her as the child's mother, she subconsciously identified Zhiyuan's father with Gu Jun.
So, is the child sensitive?
Did it hurt him? Or was he not happy with her saying that?
"It's like this, Zhiyuan..."
She felt that she should still apologize to the child and explain things clearly so that the child would not feel any resentment. However, she was unable to finish her words because Zhiyuan interrupted her.
"What did you say? Can you say it again?"
Lin Qingping was stunned and murmured again, "I said, in the army."
Zhiyuan didn't say anything else, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
