Chapter 113 A little bit of fever, no problem
It was already past one in the morning when we finished eating hot pot.
In the car on the way back, Lu Shiman began to think about how to get the fourth brother.
She was more worried that if she went directly to her fourth brother to ask for his consent, he would definitely feel that he was oppressed by Ji Linshen, and it would be troublesome if he had a problem with Ji Linshen.
She prepared to boil her fourth brother in warm water, step by step.
"Mr. Ji, I have decided to go all out on this matter. Starting tomorrow, I will not accompany you to work." Lu Shiman leaned on Ji Linshen's shoulder, full of confidence.
"Assistant is going to be absent from work again?" Ji Linshen took off the hairband she had casually tied while eating hot pot, letting her hair down so that she could lean more comfortably.
"This is called going out on a mission. I'm going to show my courtesy to Fourth Brother soon." Lu Shiman said as he took out his cell phone.
"First, give my fourth brother a caring greeting."
"It's very late." Ji Linshen reminded.
Lu Shiman thought for a moment: "That's a bedtime greeting."
Before speaking, his finger had already pointed to Lu Qiyun's number and dialed it.
Ji Linshen sighed softly. It seemed like he meant for her to fight again tomorrow?
The phone rang several times before it was picked up. Lu Qijun's slightly hoarse voice said, "Hello."
"Fourth brother~" Lu Shiman dragged out the last syllable.
"Yeah." Lu Qiyun turned on the bedside lamp and sat up, half leaning on the headboard with his eyes closed.
"Fourth brother, are you asleep?"
"Asleep."
“Oh~” Lu Shiman didn’t know what to say for a moment, and pursed her lips: “It’s okay, fourth brother, I just asked if you slept.”
There was silence on the other end of the receiver, and Lu Shiman only heard a very light sigh.
Awkward silence...
Lu Shiman continued: "Fourth brother, go to bed early, don't stay up late, good night!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lu Qiyun's brain froze for a moment when he heard the busy tone.
So, the purpose of her making this call was to wake herself up and then go to bed early?
Turn off the light and lie down again.
The more Lu Qiyun thought about it, the more confused he became.
Sit up again.
No, what is going on in her head? Can a normal person really do such a thing?
"My fourth brother must be very touched." Lu Shiman smacked her lips. "In the whole family, I'm the only one who cares about him and loves him so much."
Ji Lin lowered his eyes and looked out the window with a complicated expression: "Well, you are great."
Hearing the compliment, Lu Shiman's tail stood up immediately, and he raised his chin proudly: "That's~"
Ji Linshen held her hand tightly, rubbed his cheek against her head, and whispered, "Lu Shiman, I hope you will always be bright and beautiful."
"A-choo~" Lu Shiman sneezed, covering up Ji Linshen's words.
Ji Linshen turned up the temperature in the car and covered her with his coat: "Are you catching a cold?"
"No, it's Fourth Brother who is thinking about me and wondering how I can be so considerate." Lu Shiman rubbed the crook of Ji Lin's neck.
It was already late at night when we returned to the villa.
After Lu Shiman finished washing up, she curled up in the quilt and waited for Ji Linshen to come out of the shower. She played with her abdominal muscles for a while before going to sleep.
Feeling a chill down his spine, Lu Shiman wrapped the quilt tighter.
The familiar feeling reminded her of the flu that her fourth brother had infected her. She reached out and touched her forehead, but felt nothing wrong.
After a few more sneezes, Lu Shiman was almost certain that he had a cold.
I didn't dare let Ji Linshen know that I had already troubled him a lot and didn't want to drag him down again because of my illness.
While Ji Linshen was taking a shower, she picked up her phone, hugged her pillow, and planned to find a guest room to isolate herself.
Just as I was about to walk out of the bedroom, I saw the bathroom door open and Ji Linshen came out wiping his hair.
"Where are you going?" Ji Linshen frowned slightly when he saw her hugging the pillow.
"I...I want to sleep in the guest room." She turned around slowly.
Ji Linshen noticed the abnormal flush on her cheeks, took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the back of her neck. The scorching temperature made his heart tighten.
"You have a fever."
"I'm not flirty." Lu Shiman retorted: "I'm very dignified..."
"Lu Shiman, you are sick." Ji Linshen picked her up and carried her sideways, strode to the bedside, gently put her down, and then took out the thermometer.
"Ji Linshen, I'm not sick, I can still walk a few steps." Lu Shiman let the temperature gun touch his forehead.
With a beep, the thermometer showed 38.5°C, proving Ji Linshen's judgment.
"I'll ask the doctor to come."
Lu Shiman immediately grabbed his hand and shook his head: "Just take some fever-reducing medicine, why are you bothering me so late at night?"
Ji Linshen clasped her hot wrist with his backhand, and pressed his thumb against her throbbing pulse: "The doctor will see me, and I'll pay him. The medical fee is enough to buy him six months of seeing patients."
"This is a deal, there's no need to make a fuss."
"It's normal to see a doctor when you're sick. There's no need to bother others. Can you be a good boy?"
Ji Linshen leaned down, and as their breaths intertwined, he suddenly touched her hot eyelids with the tip of his nose. This almost weak gesture made Lu Shiman loosen her grip.
She shook her head stubbornly: "I can't be good. I'll just take the medicine. Just give me a fever-reducing patch and I'll be fine in a while."
Ji Linshen sighed softly: "Okay, then I'll go get the medicine box, you lie down obediently."
Lu Shiman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Linshen walked out of the room and dialed the number of his private doctor.
If she resists, then wait until she falls asleep and then let the doctor see her.
Return to the room.
Lu Shiman's cheeks were flushed red, perhaps because she felt hot. She had kicked the quilt to the end of the bed and curled up into a ball. The straps of her silk nightgown slipped down to her arms, revealing fine beads of sweat on her collarbone.
After covering her with the quilt, Ji Linshen whispered, "I'll put a fever-reducing patch on you first. It's a little cold, just bear with it."
Lu Shiman was a little dizzy due to the fever, and she felt her temperature soaring.
"I'm fine. It's just a little fever, no problem. I'm the woman who was infected with H1N1 by Fourth Brother." Lu Shiman was afraid that Ji Lin would worry deeply, so she kept talking tough.
He felt distressed and helpless, and gently poked her head with his slender fingers: "If you are not in good physical condition, you will never get sick. If you get sick, you are a dog?"
Lu Shiman held his hand and unconsciously buried her face in his palm and rubbed it gently. The flush caused by the fever spread from the tips of her ears to her neck.
"Woof woof~"
Ji Linshen felt something gripping his heart tightly, and his fingertips rubbed her burning earlobe uncontrollably: "You keep your word."
The ripples cast by the humidifier's water-wave light on the wall just happened to flow over the corners of his lips, which had suddenly softened.
Lu Shiman hugged his hands tightly, mumbling something that was difficult to hear clearly.
The syllables that spilled from her mouth formed a few words.
She said, "Ji Linshen, I'm sorry."
Ji Linshen's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips, breaking down the word that disgusted him bit by bit.
"Lu Shiman, your apology is really annoying..." The unfinished words disappeared between their lips.
