Chapter 483 Wan Qiqi is Sick
Wan Qiqi's eyelids twitched.
She felt weak in her limbs and her mind was foggy.
In a daze, she opened her eyes.
What came into view was a wooden roof beam, but it seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it difficult for her to see clearly.
Immediately, the aroma of medicine wafted into my nostrils, and just smelling it made my mouth taste bitter, the kind that instantly kills your appetite.
Amidst the buzzing in my ears, I heard voices, though they were not very clear, but I could roughly make out that it was a woman's voice.
Wan Qiqi didn't want to admit that she was sick, but her body was telling her that she really was sick!
After a while, the ear disappeared, and the vision became clear.
Two pretty faces appeared before Wan Qiqi, their eyes meeting hers, blinking.
Immediately, she felt someone climb onto her bed, and a small head peered over.
Six eyes stared at her, blinking as if they were looking at some rare animal.
"Waaaaah... Mother~ You're finally awake!" An'an cried loudly, burying her face in Wan Qiqi's shoulder.
Tears soaked through the clean clothes she had just changed into, clinging tightly to Wan Qiqi's shoulder, the warmth turning to icy cold.
Wan Qiqi didn't know that when she had a fever and was unconscious, An'an didn't cry; when Doctor Ge came, An'an didn't cry; and when the adults were extremely anxious, she didn't cry either...
Only when her mother woke up did she finally lose control of her worry and burst into tears.
Compared to Pingping, An'an is like a little adult—smart, resilient, and so sensible that it breaks your heart.
Wan Qiqi reached out and gently patted An'an's back. "I..." She suddenly realized that her throat was full of phlegm, and only her lips were moving, without making a sound.
Then, she cleared her throat and said with all her might, "An'an, don't cry, Mother is alright..."
She thought her voice was relatively loud, just a little hoarse, but little did she know that to others, it sounded like a mosquito's buzz.
Fang Luxue picked An'an up in one swift motion, then used a silk handkerchief to wipe An'an's snot with a hint of disgust, saying, "Your mother just woke up, don't disturb her. Aunt Fang will buy you candy later, okay?"
Her first sentence was full of reprimand, but her second sentence softened.
Who can resist a soft and cuddly baby?
She's definitely not good enough!
Tao Jing placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table, bent down and helped Wan Qiqi sit up little by little, supporting her with a pillow before handing her the medicine, saying, "Sister Qi, you woke up at just the right time, and the medicine is at the perfect temperature."
Looking at the dark, murky medicine, Wan Qiqi's face clearly showed her refusal. She looked up and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can I not drink it?"
"You're not a child anymore, why are you acting like a child when you're taking medicine?" Fang Luxue retorted to Wan Qiqi after coaxing An'an.
"It's not like you like taking medicine!" Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes and took the medicine.
She stared at the medicine for a long time, looking as if she were ready to die, then picked up the bowl and drank the medicine.
Tao Jing and Fang Luxue exchanged a glance, looking somewhat helpless.
Normally, Sister Qi is arrogant and fearless, not even officials, but she's afraid of taking medicine. If word got out, people would probably laugh their heads off.
However, the two did not discuss these matters at this time. After supervising Wan Qiqi to drink the medicine, they left with An An to let the patient rest well.
Wan Qiqi didn't go to sleep peacefully. She took out the cold medicine she bought at the mall and took it. She also bought a thermometer at the mall and took her temperature.
37.6 degrees Celsius, low-grade fever.
Looking at the numbers on the thermometer, Wan Qiqi bought another fever reducer and took it before obediently lying down.
She couldn't help but wonder if the girl named Luo Kui had also caught a cold.
As she pondered these thoughts, she drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already past 1 PM.
Wan Qiqi took her temperature and found it had returned to normal. She took another dose of cold medicine before putting on her cloak and leaving the room.
Before even reaching the bottom of the stairs, they heard Fang Luxue's voice calling out to them from downstairs.
"Yes, that's it, clean it up... Be careful, you can't afford to pay for it if you break it... Are the snacks ready? Xiao An'an is hungry..."
How noisy!
Wan Qiqi could only use these two words to describe Fang Luxue.
But I have to say, when she woke up with a high fever and saw the two girls, her heart was warmed.
In ancient times, she also made her own good friends.
"Hey! Why did you come down here? You can't be exposed to drafts if you catch a cold, are you trying to kill yourself..."
Fang Luxue pointed at Wan Qiqi and started nagging like an old woman.
Amidst Wan Qiqi's nagging, a gentle smile appeared on her face as she tilted her head to look at Fang Lucue, seemingly enjoying the amusing performance.
"You haven't gone crazy from the fever, have you?" Fang Luxue immediately checked Wan Qiqi's forehead temperature and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the fever had subsided.
Tao Jing, holding a palm-leaf fan, gently fanned the fire in the stove. Hearing the sound, she looked up and said, "Sister Lu Xue, Doctor Ge said that it's okay to come out for some fresh air, it will help with recovery."
Fang Luxue glanced back at Tao Jing, then at Wan Qiqi, pouted, and said, "Alright then! You can sit for a little longer, but no more than fifteen minutes!"
Wan Qiqi shrugged and said, "Okay, my dear lady!"
Her voice was still a little hoarse, but she was clearly in much better spirits.
It would be strange if she listened to reason, though. Before the two girls could even speak, she started clamoring to go out for a walk.
Left with no other option, the two young ladies took the patient shopping, which attracted a lot of attention.
It's worth noting that the Tao family's daughter rarely goes out shopping.
With Miss Fang and Manager Wan of Xinglong Restaurant also present, they were truly a beautiful sight on the street.
