Get ill
As winter approaches and the temperature fluctuates, more and more students are catching colds and fevers.
Teacher Jiang has emphasized several times in class that we should keep warm when going out, and remember to wear more clothes and not catch a cold.
Lin Yue and Jiang Xiaosong were still full of energy, unaffected by the sudden drop in temperature. He Qingtian made sure to dress appropriately and drink plenty of water, so no one got sick. Chen Shan had a slight cough, but managed to get through it by drinking hot water.
Only Shen Anyan was gloriously caught in the trap. The consequences of slacking off every day were now apparent. She felt dizzy all morning.
He Qingtian touched his deskmate's forehead several times and said curiously, "It's not hot. If you're really uncomfortable, why don't you ask your teacher for leave?"
Shen Anyan crawled on the table and replied weakly: "Maybe I'm just sleepy. I'll just take a nap."
He Qingtian said: "Okay, then I'm going to have lunch. You might have a cold. I'll buy you some cold medicine when I come back."
Shen Anyan uttered a vague "hmm", and as soon as his eyelids closed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
But her head was becoming increasingly dizzy, accompanied by waves of nausea and headaches. Shen Anyan had trouble sleeping, and in a daze she felt someone placing a hand on her forehead.
The hand was soft and cool, with a scent familiar to her, the scent of irises.
Shen Anyan opened her eyelids and saw Gu Cijiang standing in front of her with his brows slightly furrowed.
Seeing that the other party had woken up, he explained in a low voice: "You didn't come to see me at noon today, so I came to see..."
He removed the back of his hand from the other person's forehead and asked, "Can you still walk? I'll take you to the hospital."
Shen Anyan paused for a moment before finally standing up as he was told. His movements were fine, but his brain felt like it was rusted, unable to think. Even when someone spoke, he had to react before he could understand what they meant.
Gu Cijiang hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to hold the other person's wrist: "Let's go."
Shen Anyan asked: "Ask for leave..."
Gu Cijiang said: "I have talked to your classmates and your class teacher, don't worry."
He paused, then added: "Just follow me."
Shen Anyan followed him. Everything around her seemed like a mist, except for the warmth on her wrist. After an unknown amount of time, she felt a slight sting on the back of her hand, followed by a slow flow of cold liquid.
Someone seemed to help her lie down on the bed, with a pillow behind her head. A gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Is this height okay?"
…
Although she knew it was somewhat inappropriate, and it was possible that her brain was really burned out, Shen Anyan was uncontrollably reminded of some unspeakable images by these words.
It was also on the bed, but the location was not in the hospital, but in the bedroom. After the pleasure, the other party also padded the pillow for her and asked gently: "Is this height okay?"
...It's really becoming a conditioned reflex.
Shen Anyan made a random “hmm” sound and relaxed on the pillow.
The discomfort in his body subsided a little during the infusion, and he gradually felt sleepy. Shen Anyan soon fell asleep again.
Gu Cijiang stayed beside the other person, occasionally looking up to check on the infusion so that he could ask the nurse to change it in time.
Although he had a private doctor at home, Gu Cijiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate to bring someone home without the other party's consent. In the end, he chose to go to the hospital for treatment.
Shen Anyan looked a little confused due to fever at the time and didn't say much along the way. When we got to the hospital, wow, his temperature was 39 degrees.
The doctor who took the temperature looked at Shen Anyan, shook his head and sighed: "She's in this condition and still doesn't need help to walk. The little girl is amazing."
Of course, Shen Anyan naturally couldn't receive these words, and just lowered his head in a daze.
The doctor wrote out the prescription and was about to ask the nurse to take the patient to find a bed to lie down on first, when Gu Cijiang said, "Please get a single room."
The doctor said, "It's just a minor illness. There's no need to be hospitalized. Save as much as you can. The medicine I prescribed for you is already quite expensive."
...This was the first time someone told Gu Cijiang to save money wherever possible. He felt a little helpless and explained, "It's okay. Living comfortably is the most important thing."
The doctor had no choice but to say, "That's fine, but there are no regular wards left. The only vacant one is the VIP ward. Are you sure you want to stay there?"
Gu Cijiang nodded: "This is it, please arrange a room for me."
Doctor: ...? So, he originally wanted VIP treatment and didn't even want a regular ward?
Fine, it's good to have free money. The doctor grumbled silently and arranged the treatment for the other party as he was told.
After settling Shen Anyan in the ward, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Gu Cijiang hurriedly lowered his head and turned down the volume of his phone. After asking the nurse to look after Shen Anyan first, he went out to answer the phone.
The call was naturally from Teacher Jiang. She had no classes in the afternoon and came to class late, so she learned about Shen Anyan's situation and called as soon as she received the news.
Gu Cijiang said: "Don't worry, um, yes, the doctor said it's nothing serious, I've already had an IV..."
After confirming that everything was fine, Teacher Jiang finally felt relieved. She had initially wanted to persuade Gu Cijiang to return to class while she sent someone over to look after him, but he persuaded her to go back, saying, "Someone's going to need to look after him anyway, so it's more convenient for me to do it myself, and I don't have to go back and forth." Teacher Jiang then reminded him to be careful and to contact her anytime she had any questions, and then they hung up.
By evening, the IV drip had finished. Shen Anyan hadn't woken up yet, so Gu Cijiang tucked in the quilt for her. There was a gentle knock on the door, and Gu Cijiang paused, got up from his chair, and opened the door.
The person who came was Teacher Jiang, followed by a young woman.
Teacher Jiang said, "I was worried, so I came to check on you. Why haven't you gone home yet? Are you alone here?"
Gu Cijiang said, "I'm worried about Sheng Yan. I want to wait until her temperature stabilizes before leaving. There are nurses here who will check on her every two hours. There's also a bell at the bedside."
Teacher Jiang said, "That's fine. You still have school tomorrow, so remember to go home early and don't delay your studies. My daughter also lives on this floor, quite close by. I'll ask her to help take care of Xiaoyan a little more, so don't worry."
Gu Cijiang nodded.
The young woman advised: "Teacher Jiang, I've seen it, now you can rest assured, right? You have classes tomorrow morning, so go home and rest early."
Teacher Jiang did not refuse. He gave Gu Cijiang a few more instructions before leaving with the young woman.
Shen Anyan's physical condition was good. After the first day of the IV drip, his fever subsided and stabilized at just under 38 degrees Celsius. After the second day of the IV drip, although he still had a low-grade fever, he was able to run and jump, and even had the leisure to send messages to his friends to update them on his recent situation.
Theoretically, mobile phones are not allowed in school, but after all, rules are dead and people are alive, and everyone gives full play to their subjective initiative, so Shen Anyan does not worry about no one replying to his messages.
He Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the other party was about to recover. He asked her to pay attention to the time she used her mobile phone, stop staying up late, and remember to get more rest.
Lin Yue and Jiang Xiaosong chattered and sent her voice messages saying that they planned to find some free time to visit her.
Chen Shan likes to send her various funny videos, saying that it helps her stay in a good mood during her illness.
As for Lu Zhou, he had already started bombarding Shen Anyan with messages in the afternoon of the day she left school. If he didn't know which hospital Shen Anyan went to, he would probably have skipped school and come to the hospital to find her.
After Shen Anyan explained her situation, the other party felt that the hospital environment was too bad and asked her if she wanted to come to his home to recuperate, and have a private doctor to provide one-on-one service.
Shen Anyan was a little helpless and declined the other party's proposal on the grounds that "it's just a minor illness and it will be fine in a few days."
Gu Cijiang would come to visit her for a while every night after school, and he would feel relieved only when he saw that she was fine.
Apart from Gu Cijiang, the only visitors to the ward these days were the nurses who came to check on the ward and the relatives and friends who came to help at Teacher Jiang's request.
Gu Cijiang was puzzled. When they were alone, he carefully asked her, "What have your family been doing recently?"
Shen Anyan thought about it for a while. At this time in the Shen family, her mother should be busy with company affairs, and her sister should be preparing for the college entrance examination. It was quite interesting to think about it. If she had the chance, she really wanted to visit the capital.
However, based on her original situation, she told the truth: "I grew up in an orphanage."
Gu Cijiang was startled and said softly: "Sorry, I don't know..."
Shen Anyan shrugged: "It's okay, it's been so many years, I'm used to it."
The two of them didn't mention the matter again. Gu Cijiang washed an apple for the other party and was about to peel it. Seeing this, Chen Anyan hurriedly said, "No need to peel it. I like to eat apples with the skin on."
Gu Cijiang smiled and handed her the apple.
With this interruption, the atmosphere between the two of them eased a little, and they felt more natural in talking about the next topic.
Gu Cijiang said: "I made two copies of my notes from the past few days. I will give them to you when I return to school."
Shen Anyan took a bite of the apple and smiled when he heard this: "Oh, that's much more convenient, thank you Ci Jiang."
"If I'm not here, what will happen to our class's history homework? Will anyone take care of it?" Shen Anyan remembered his identity as a class representative and began to worry, which was rare.
Gu Cijiang said: "He Qingtian helped you with the task of collecting and sending homework, and Jiang Xiaosong also helped."
Hearing the names of these two people, Shen Anyan stopped worrying.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. Although he was a little reluctant, Shen Anyan urged: "It's late, go back quickly, and talk tomorrow."
Gu Cijiang nodded, and before getting up and leaving, he reminded: "Remember to go to bed early."
Shen Anyan went to bed, pulled up the quilt and covered himself with it. Hearing this, he looked at the other person and said with a smile: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, good night."
This scene was indeed somewhat subtle and ambiguous. Gu Cijiang lowered his eyes, helped the other person turn off the lights, and gently replied: "Good night."
