Chen Lu frowned and put his hand on his forehead again.
It's not a feeling at all; Liang Zhirou must really have a fever.
Liang Zhirou didn't seem to care much. "It's okay, let's go buy groceries. I'll just go home and get some sleep tonight."
She bet that if she went back now, Chen Lu would be too lazy to cook for himself and would just order takeout to make do.
Seeing that Chen Lu was looking at her without moving, she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and whispered, "Then...then I'll go home and rest now."
Chen Lu pinched the girl's soft cheek. "Are you really going to rest quietly when you get home?"
We can't let her go home.
This silly girl won't rest quietly. Chen Lu always felt that she wouldn't even let Xiao Xunfang know that she had a fever.
After she goes back, she can only do what she was supposed to do, and she can't let her mother find out.
"I'll go to bed early," Liang Zhirou said earnestly.
"When you were waiting for me with an umbrella that day in the rain, did you have a cold and fever?" Chen Lu continued to ask.
He always felt that Liang Zhirou's body temperature was a little higher than his, but since this silly girl's body temperature was usually a little higher than his, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Damn it, why should I not care?
I really want to slap myself.
"At that time... at that time there was a little bit."
Liang Zhirou muttered to herself.
She didn't dare say that she caught a cold because it was raining heavily that day and the wind blew her out, and she still hasn't recovered.
Chen Lu simply used both hands to pinch both sides of Liang Zhirou's cheeks at the same time, saying, "Your acting skills are better than mine."
That makes sense; she must have endured illness since childhood, enduring that kind of struggle to keep up with her acting.
If Chen Lu hadn't happened to touch her arm after coming out, he really wouldn't have noticed, and on the surface, he seemed completely unaffected.
“You’ve been detained, Liang Zhirou,” Chen Lu suddenly said. “Either let me take you to the hospital, or go upstairs and rest.”
Liang Zhirou unconsciously took two steps back. "I can't explain this to my mom. It didn't rain today..."
Chen Lu didn't answer her, but instead dialed someone's number directly.
"Hey, what's up?"
A girl's lazy voice came from the phone.
"A week of paid leave, do you want it?" Chen Lu got straight to the point.
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?" Lin Miaomiao said without hesitation.
Chen Lu nodded with satisfaction. Communicating with smart people was so much easier. "You've suddenly been hospitalized with appendicitis. Liang Zhirou will be at the hospital with you tonight. Got it?"
"Are you kidding me? You think I'd betray Zhirou and become your wingman for such a small favor? Do you even know what kind of relationship Zhirou has with me?"
The voice on the other end of the phone became very serious, "She's my only best friend! We met right after the semester started! She's the best person I've ever had..."
"Add seven more days, but they can't take consecutive days off."
"I have to hang up now, I have acute appendicitis."
Lin Miaomiao hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
After putting down his phone, Chen Lu suppressed a laugh, shrugged at Liang Zhirou, and then pointed to the stairwell entrance.
When he saw Liang Zhirou's adorable, dumbfounded expression after discovering she had been completely betrayed by her best friend, he found it even harder to suppress his laughter.
But you absolutely mustn't laugh now, or this silly goose will definitely try to get away with being cute again.
"I don't want to go to the hospital..."
Liang Zhirou said somewhat awkwardly that the place she hated most in her life was the hospital.
Chen Lu stepped forward and took the girl's hand. "Then go upstairs and rest peacefully. With Lin Miaomiao as a cover, Auntie won't be too worried about you. And your boyfriend will take care of you, isn't that good?"
The girl turned her head and looked at him nervously again. "I... I'm a patient now. You can't bully me."
"I didn't mistreat you when you slept here last night, did I?"
Liang Zhirou felt relieved and lowered her eyelids as she climbed the stairs step by step. She didn't know if it was because the temperature had risen a bit or because she had suddenly relaxed, but she felt weak all over and her eyelids felt heavy.
It seems that after Chen Lu said he would take care of her, all her years of experience in enduring colds and fevers suddenly vanished, and she completely transformed into the kind of delicate, frail girl who would collapse at the slightest push.
She finally understood why people said happiness makes people weak. Before Chen Lu, she could continue working part-time even with a fever; now...
All I wanted was to lie in Chen Lu's arms and sleep soundly, and it would be even better if I could be a little spoiled.
Back in the room, after urging Liang Zhirou to lie down, Chen Lu went out to a nearby pharmacy and bought a thermometer and fever reducers.
Liang Zhirou buried her head in the quilt. Because it was a bit cold, she curled up into a ball, her eyes half-closed, and even her breath felt warm.
Half-asleep, Chen Lu sat down next to her again.
She clearly remembered that Chen Lu had just left not long ago.
"Take your temperature. Didn't you say there was spinach in the fridge? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." Chen Lu chuckled. "I usually don't cook for Chen Mo even when she begs me, but you're lucky today."
This silly guy definitely doesn't like takeout; asking him is pointless.
Liang Zhirou crawled out from under the covers, her hair a little messy, but it couldn't hide her cute and pretty charm. She smiled gently at Chen Lu and said, "Okay."
After Chen Lu left, the girl kept her eyes closed. She didn't bother to check the time, knowing that Chen Lu must remember it even better than she did.
Sure enough, the sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen soon stopped, followed by hurried footsteps.
