Chapter 35 Coaxing My Boyfriend
A night rain washed away the September heat.
The air was filled with the mixed scent of soil and grass, carrying the faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus trees, which seeped into the lungs.
Ruan Xingmian stood under an osmanthus tree and clicked on the video for the third time, directly moving it to the middle.
The camera clearly recorded that fleeting smile.
The corners of his mouth curved up at an extremely fast speed, like a crack on the surface of a lake in winter, suddenly illuminated by the sunlight.
Just one glance, joy, excitement, peace of mind and hope came flooding in, filling Ruan Xingmian's heart.
She liked to see Gu Xingxiao, even if it was just for a blink of an eye.
Ruan Xingmian continued to move forward firmly, his feet rolling over the wet fallen leaves.
She should be nicer to Gu Xing.
Ruan Xingmian coughed a few times when he woke up early on Friday, but he didn't take it seriously.
After today's busy day, I can take a break for the next two days.
Wenzhu wanted to continue working alone and earn more for her boss.
But her mixing skills were average and her cutting skills were not good either, so she had to rely on Ruan Xingmian for everything.
"Sister Wenzhu, more haste makes waste. Enjoy yourself when you need to take a break. You will never make enough money."
Taking advantage of the weekend off, Ruan Xingmian assigned her shooting and editing assignments, and she no longer thought about working overtime to earn money.
After finishing work and having dinner on Friday, Ruan Xingmian took out the weekly account statement.
The system automatically generates it, which is very convenient.
Wen Zhu couldn't help but exclaim: "This backend is so sophisticated, it's much more convenient than our store's checkout system."
"Gu Xing said it can be upgraded."
Ruan Xingmian herself didn't know how proud she was at this moment.
Her cheeks were flushed, she yawned with her eyes curved, and the corners of her eyes were also red.
"Everything is cleaned up, I'll go back first. You should go to bed early tonight."
Ruan Xingmian pulled her to sit down and looked at the data again: "We sold over 2,000 copies this week. What do you think of the workload?"
She pays great attention to employees' work experience.
Wen Zhu kept saying, "I'm very motivated every day. The more I sell, the more I earn. Plus, as I become more and more skilled, I can easily handle orders of over 500 yuan a day."
She paused: "It's just that I'm afraid you're too tired."
Every day Ruan Xingmian would get up early to steam rice, and was also responsible for preparing two meals for them, as well as editing videos and maintaining her own media accounts.
Even though he is as thin as a bamboo pole, he is full of energy every day.
Sometimes the more orders there are, the more excited she is.
Wenzhu was really worried that her boss would be exhausted.
Ruan Xingmian's face turned a different shade of red, and she said proudly, "I'm just as motivated as you are."
She wants to make money, a lot of money, buy a house, and have children comfortably.
Save more money in your family account.
Let Gu Xing concentrate on his studies without any worries.
"Xingmian, are you feeling unwell?"
Wenzhu reached out and touched her forehead.
"ah."
She felt burned and stroked it carefully, "Xingmian, you have a high fever."
Her first reaction: "I'll call Senior Gu. He shouldn't have arrived at school yet."
Ruan Xingmian brought them lunch, and Gu Xing helped them move their things for dinner, and then they came back to eat together.
It's been like this these past few days.
Ruan Xingmian held down her hand and said, "No need, Sister Wenzhu, I'm very clear-headed now. It should just be hot to the touch, no big deal."
She got up, walked to the bedroom, and took out the medicine box.
Fortunately, she has developed a good habit of taking care of herself after living alone for many years, and she has all the necessary medicines on hand.
Wenzhu followed in with warm water.
"Xingmian, lie down. I'll take your temperature."
Ruan Xingmian gradually felt weak in her limbs. She groaned and lay down on the bed: "Thank you, Sister Wenzhu."
She was quiet, her whole face flushed.
His big eyes were open innocently, without any noise or disturbance.
Like a child who is sick and uncomfortable but doesn't say anything.
Wenzhu fumbled with the electronic thermometer and measured the temperature at 37.3 degrees.
"A low-grade fever." Ruan Xingmian said confidently, "My hands and feet are still burning, not cold. The temperature can't be above 38 degrees."
She reached out and took out the fever-reducing patch, tore it open skillfully, and applied it to both sides of her temples.
So skilled that it makes people feel distressed.
Wenzhu covered her with a quilt and helped her up to drink some hot water.
"No wonder you have a poor appetite today and keep retching."
Wenzhu pulled a chair and sat beside the bed.
"Sister Wenzhu, please go back first. I can do it alone. Thank you for your hard work today."
Wen Zhu shook her head: "You don't have to be polite to me. It's time to get off work now. You are not my boss, but my sister."
Ruan Xingmian smiled sweetly: "I'll take a nap and be fine when I wake up. I have experience."
"You sleep, I'll play with my phone."
Ruan Xingmian couldn't persuade her, and his mind was too confused.
"Then I really fell asleep."
Wenzhu looked up: "Do you want me to sing a lullaby for you?"
"That's not necessary."
Ruan Xingmian put on an eye mask and slowly fell asleep.
“Mianmian…”
Gu Xing's voice woke her up.
Before taking off the blindfold, she grabbed Gu Xing's hand.
"What time is it? Why are you here?"
Gu Xing took off her blindfold and used his hands to protect her eyes from the strong light.
A glass of water was handed to his mouth, and Ruan Xingmian drank half of it in one gulp.
Dry lips are blurred with a little moisture.
Gu Xing wiped it off casually: "I received a call from Wen Zhu after class, and I asked her to go back first."
Ruan Xingmian hid away embarrassedly and glanced at him stealthily: "I didn't tell you right away, are you angry?"
"have."
“They are just minor illnesses…” Glancing at Gu Xing’s expression, she whispered coquettishly, “Then why are you still talking to me?”
Gu Xing squatted down to put her shoes on: "Being angry is fine, but talking is fine."
He had packed his bag and found a coat.
Ruan Xingmian asked quietly: "Are we going out?"
"Well, let's go to the hospital."
I don't want to go out late at night.
She suddenly picked up the electronic gun and shot it at her head. The light turned green. She smiled and showed it to Gu Xing: "Look, the fever is gone. I know how to control myself."
Gu Xing was holding her bag and coat, standing under the light. The warm yellow light shone on him, but he didn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, his whole body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.
He frowned, pursed his lips, tilted his face slightly, and stared at people without saying a word.
Force people to obey.
Have to obey.
"Don't be angry..."
"Reach out and put on your clothes."
Cold and domineering, Ruan Xingmian didn't dare to act rashly.
I took a taxi to the hospital and went to the emergency room, where I took my temperature with a mercury thermometer, which is more accurate.
The doctor said, "You still have a low-grade fever. Let's do a blood test first to rule out viral, bacterial, or flu. Then we can decide whether or not to hospitalize you."
Gu Xing nodded, took the form, and took Ruan Xingmian to the blood drawing area.
"Can I not stay in the hospital?" She is particular about her bed.
I can’t sleep well on the new bed and I have nightmares all the time.
"Draw blood first, don't be afraid."
It only takes half an hour to have a blood test, and after getting the results, I go to the inpatient department to see a doctor.
There is no outpatient clinic during the night shift, so emergency patients should go directly to the inpatient department for treatment.
"If there is no inflammation, the temperature will probably not rise in the middle of the night. Continue to cool down physically, drink more hot water, and increase the frequency of bowel movements."
Gu Xing was still very nervous: "Doctor, what if it comes back at night?"
He still prefers to be hospitalized just in case.
"Well, I'll prescribe two doses of fever-reducing medicine for pregnant women. Take them home. If your fever exceeds 38.8, take one. Wait six hours before taking the second. Of course, it's best not to take any."
The situation is not very serious, so you might as well go home and recuperate.
Gu Xing nodded repeatedly and left with Ruan Xingmian.
"That girl doesn't look more than twenty years old."
The nurse came over and said.
"He's in his late twenties, and the boy is young too, only twenty-three."
"You are so young, how can you be a parent?"
The doctor smiled upon hearing this and said, "They both look quite mature, not like kids in their early twenties. That boy kept staring at me, and I thought it was serious, but thankfully it was a false alarm."
…
Ruan Xingmian sat on the sofa while Gu Xing was busy in the kitchen.
She said she was hungry, had a bland taste in her mouth, and didn't want to eat greasy food.
Gu Xing was cooking porridge for her.
Half rice and half millet.
Ruan Xingmian waited for a while, and the rice was in the pot. Why was he guarding the fire? Why didn't he come over yet?
Still angry?
She thought for a second, then tiptoed into the kitchen in her slippers.
Gu Xing had his back to the door, stirring the rice soup carefully, his eyes fixed on the pot.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
When Ruan Xingmian's forehead touched his shoulder blade, his whole body stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed.
He didn't say anything. Ruan Xingmian pressed his whole face against him, rubbing back and forth...
"What are you doing?" This made Gu Xing stand up straight.
Mianmian didn't even bark anymore, I was really angry.
"I'm coaxing my boyfriend." Ruan Xingmian pressed herself against him.
