Chapter 24

The hospital room didn’t really smell like disinfectant.

Since there were mostly social animal adults with needles in suspension, and no children, the room was quiet.

Zhao Shuming and she were both wearing masks, and their uncovered eyes stood out even more on their faces.

Jiang Yimiao blinked, looking closely at his eyes under the cover of his eyelashes.

Unfortunately, with his back to the light, Jiang Yimiao couldn’t see much, and she subconsciously pinched the bridge of her nose in the middle of the mask.

She patted Zhao Shuming’s shoulder, “It’s too unrighteous to leave you a patient at home.”

She suddenly laughed twice, “And I didn’t want to go out in the first place, so now isn’t there a very legitimate reason to refuse him.”

Jiang Yimiao withdrew her gaze and sat up straight, lowering her head as she quickly typed a reply to Guan Zhengyu on her cell phone keyboard.

“My friend who lives alone in the South City is sick, I have to take care of him for the next two days, so I’m sorry I can’t accept your invitation.

Jiang Yimiao even raised her cell phone to take a picture of the corner of the hospital bed and sent it over, the photo accurately capturing the hospital logo printed on the end of the bed, to show the authenticity of her words.

Zhao Shuming saw her complete this series of actions, the corners of his lips hidden by the mask quietly curled up, his purpose was achieved.

His body was indeed very healthy, thanks to the healthy genes given to him by his parents and his own regular lifestyle. So he hadn’t been sick in a long, long time, so long that the last time he remembered going to the hospital was due to an epidemic of flu infection …….

But he did have a way to get a fever for a short time, and he would do anything for her.

Moreover, a fever is not something that is very harmful to the body, and Zhao Shuming treats it as a battle of the immune system.

“It’s done.” Jiang Yimiao waved her cell phone, and when she saw the hot water dispenser, she pointed at the dispenser and asked, “Are you thirsty, do you want me to pour you a cup of hot water?”

Zhao Shuming subconsciously pursed his lips, feeling the dryness of his throat and lips, he nodded lightly and answered, “Uh-huh.”

Jiang Yimiao put her bag into Zhao Shuming’s arms, stood up and walked over in the direction of the hot water dispenser.

“It’s so hot.” Jiang Yimiao’s hand holding the paper cup was almost burned, she hurriedly put the paper cup on the nightstand, “The hot water machine seems to only have boiled water, so I have to wait for a while before I can drink it.”

“Then wait for it to cool down a bit before drinking it.” Zhao Shuming glanced at the paper cup.

Zhao Shuming usually spoke softly to her, but now that he was sick, his usual soft voice became even softer, and Jiang Yimiao always felt that she could push him down with one finger now, even if he He looked very strong.

Jiang Yimiao fished her bag out of his arms again, “Then wait.”

Jiang Yimiao spaced out the skin of her shoulder bag, and when she came back from work Jiang Yimiao threw her cell phone onto the couch without even taking it out of her bag.

So what she carried in her bag when she got off work was what was in her bag now, and it wasn’t until she pinched a cylindrical object that she remembered her water cup was still in her bag as well.

“Right I have water in my water cup eh.”

Jiang Yimiao lowered her head and took out her own water cup from her bag and took a sip, “It’s still warm, why don’t you drink from my water cup first.”

Summer is hot, Jiang Yimiao is afraid of thirst and love to drink water, so even if she goes out shopping, she will carry a small thermos cup.

The traffic jam on the way to the hospital had been long, and Zhao Shuming hadn’t been drinking any water. She didn’t need to think about it to know that he must be thirsty right now.

Jiang Yimiao subconsciously handed him the cup that had been twisted open, after all, they used to drink from the same cup.

Zhao Shuming lowered his head and swept over her hand and her beige insulated cup, how to describe his current mood, it seemed to overflow with an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

He also wanted to be able to touch directly where the corners of her lips had touched, but he was now really feverish, and perhaps had a tendency to catch a cold.

He must not infect her in any way.

He took Jiang Yimiao’s water cup, “Miao Miao, I’ll go over to the hot water machine and get a paper cup to pour some of your water.”

“Ohhh.” She nodded her head straight, and when she looked up and saw the bottle Jiang Yimiao remembered that he was still in a hangnail, she took back her cup with one hand and pressed down on his shoulder to make Zhao Shuming sit back down on the bed, “You sit down, I’ll go and pour it for you.”

Zhao Shuming was pushed down by her, he sat on the hospital bed and raised his head and nodded gently.

Jiang Yimiao guessed that he should have slept at home for a while in the afternoon, his hair was not combed up in front of his forehead, it was just spread out casually but neatly, and the shadow of his bangs from the overhead light faintly covered his The shadow of the bangs from the overhead light was hidden from his eyes. Jiang Yimiao didn’t wear glasses, so she couldn’t see his current expression.

However, her brain was thinking, “He doesn’t look like an older brother at all, he looks inexplicably well-behaved.

Jiang Yimiao took another paper cup and poured a few sips of warm water from the thermos and handed it to him.

He looked at the transparent and clear water in his hand, not unlike the water poured from a hot water dispenser. But Zhao Shuming knew that this was different, this was the water that Jiang Yimiao had drunk, poured from the thermos cup she had used …….

He raised his head towards her and smiled with the corners of his eyes curved, even if the mask blocked the lower half of his face, Jiang Yimiao could tell that he was smiling, “Drink it quickly if you’re thirsty. ”

It was a bit boring in the hospital room, Zhao Shuming had already finished hanging a bag of medicine, and the nurse sister came over to change the second bottle of medicine for him.

Jiang Yimiao’s waist was a little sore from sitting, she rubbed her waist and stood up and walked over in the direction of the balcony.

Jiang Yimiao was so young, why is her waist failing? Jiang Yimiao spat on her own body as she rubbed it.

It had rained at noon, and the air was still damp from the rain, and even the railing smelled like rust.

There were only one or two stars in the dark blue sky, and a burst of insect chirping came from the grass under the hospital.

Sometimes she would find the bugs chirping annoying, but at this moment, wrapped in the sound of the cool evening breeze, it was inexplicably harmonious.

Jiang Yimiao raised her hands and stretched and took several deep breaths, remembering the posture for back pain relief that she had seen on the internet the other day.

She stood on the balcony and took a horse stance, raised her hands and lowered them according to the memorized movements, and tilted her head again. This was often repeated until her back felt little soreness, and only then did she walk back to the bedside again.

Zhao Shuming’s gaze seemed to have been falling on her body as he stared at the area of her waist for a while, “Miao Miao, is your waist uncomfortable?”

“Well, sitting in the office for too long, it can’t be helped.” She skimmed her mouth somewhat helplessly.

Said Jiang Yimiao yawned again, in fact, sometimes yawning is not necessarily sleepy, but when this yawn is made, the brain will subconsciously feel that it is sleepy before yawning.

The corners of Jiang Yimiao’s eyes overflowed with the physiological tears that flowed out when she yawned, and she suddenly felt sleepy again.

“Miao Miao, come and lie on the bed, I’m not sleepy after my afternoon nap, and this hangnail is estimated to take half an hour. You lie down and rest for a while first.”

“Ah? You’re a patient, what kind of escort lies on a hospital bed?” Jiang Yimiao felt somewhat amused.

“Miao Miao you also have back pain even if you sit, why don’t you lie down and be more comfortable.” Zhao Shuming stood up and held her arm to make her sit on the hospital bed.

She usually liked to sit on the sofa in the living room watching TV dramas, the chairs in the hospital room didn’t have a backrest, why wouldn’t Zhao Shuming know that Jiang Yimiao wasn’t used to sitting in a chair without a backrest, it was probably too hard for her to sit.

“Okay.” Jiang Yimiao was not polite and directly lay down on her side.

In her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a word – comfortable.

Recently, although it has been raining, but the weather is still hot hospital air conditioning is also turned on big, Jiang Yimiao pulled his bag to cover his stomach.

The navel is the most fragile place in the country, if there is only one last leaf left in the world, it must be covered in the navel of the Chinese people.

Fortunately, Jiang Yimiao was carrying a huge tote bag, just enough to cover her stomach completely, she patted her stomach through the bag and felt much more comfortable.

When her head touched the pillow, she couldn’t restrain herself from wanting to close her eyes and actually fell asleep like this.

Zhao Shuming quietly sat on the side, and did not look at the phone, just watching her, he silently counted the eyelashes on her eyes. He silently counted the eyelashes on her eyes. He counted until the nurse came to help him pull out the needle.

Zhao Shuming squatted beside the bed and poked her face, her face was still a little round like before.

Because she usually didn’t have the habit of wearing makeup and was used to a plain face, there were always people who thought that Jiang Yimiao was still at the age of studying.

“Miao Miao, wake up, it’s time to go home.” He came close to her and whispered.

The medicine hadn’t kicked in yet, and Zhao Shuming’s fever hadn’t gone down yet, his blazing hand squeezed her palm, “Get up.”

“Hmm ……,” she squinted her eyes, nearly dazed from sleep she sat up violently, her palm still subconsciously grasping Zhao Shuming’s thumb, and “What time is it now?”

“It’s nine o’clock, not quite late.” Going home to take a shower and go to bed.

“Is it time to go home?” She blinked her eyes a little hazily.

“Uh-huh.” Zhao Shuming smiled and smoothed her somewhat disheveled hair from sleep, “I’ve already called a car, so I can go home.”

On the way from the hospital to the car, Jiang Yimiao was still a little confused, and Zhao Shuming didn’t ask her to hold her up like he did before he came to the hospital, instead, he held her up.

Until she returned home, Jiang Yimiao’s spirit was still somewhat depressed.

I don’t know why, since she was a child, if she was sleepy at nine o’clock, when she woke up again, her consciousness would be a little fuzzy.

As the saying goes, she probably slept in a daze.

Until she took a steaming hot bath, her head seemed to re-sublimate, and Jiang Yimiao finally had some spirit.

Zhao Shuming had taken his medication when he was in the hospital, but he had eaten very little for dinner, and Jiang Yimiao had eaten too quickly and hadn’t eaten much. Zhao Shuming braced his still feverish body and cooked two bowls of noodles as a midnight snack.

“Let’s take your temperature first.” Jiang Yimiao took the thermometer and shoved it into his hand, then used the back of her hand to test Zhao Shuming’s temperature, “It doesn’t feel like it’s as hot.”

“I just took a shower, it’s not accurate to measure it now, let’s wait until after we eat the noodles.”

“Oh oh also oh, almost forgot.” Jiang Yimiao was hungry and sat down on her usual exclusive seat and ate.

The night was a bit quiet, and Zhao Shuming listened to her words and took her temperature.

The good news was that the temperature had come down, the bad news was that it was still a low-grade fever.

Jiang Yimiao remembered that when she was a child, she often had a fever in the middle of the night, although Zhao Shuming wasn’t a child now.

But no matter what, the immune system was more active at night, and she was a little afraid that he’d get another fever in the middle of the night.

“What can we do about this?” Jiang Yimiao tugged on his arm, “You hurry up and lie in bed and rest now.”

Zhao Shuming was pulled back into the room by her without resistance, pushed down to lie on the bed, and then had his entire body wrapped up solidly by his quilt.

Jiang Yimiao carefully tucked the quilt in place.

“Miao Miao, it’s fine, I’ve already taken the medicine, I’ll probably be fine tomorrow.”

“No, haven’t you heard that people who haven’t been sick for too long will have a hard time getting well once in a while, I remember you said before that you haven’t had a cold for over a year, a sudden fever is not a good thing.”

Jiang Yimiao said seriously, “And after the fever goes down, there will definitely be inflammation, so it’s not like the fever will go away completely.”

Jiang Yimiao didn’t leave any time for Zhao Shuming to retort.

“You go to sleep first, I’m not sleepy yet, I’ll be fine after covering up and sweating. I’ll get you a hot towel to wipe you off at that time.”

Jiang Yimiao crumbled, she actually had absolutely no experience in taking care of people, but on the contrary, she had taken care of Zhao Shuming who had a fever.

That was also back in middle school, when summer turned to fall and the flu broke out in the school, half of the students in the worst class in the grade called in sick and went home.

Zhao Shuming accidentally got infected, but it happened to be a Friday and he only had a low fever, so he didn’t call in sick.

Unfortunately, the night after he got home, his temperature got higher and higher.

If Jiang Yimiao hadn’t run to his house to look for him because of his homework, no one would have known he was sick.

There was a community health center less than five hundred meters away from the neighborhood, and Jiang Yimiao pulled him along and ran to the health center to get an injection.

In her eyes, Zhao Shuming had always been a child in a state of release; it seemed like everyone loved him, but it seemed like everyone didn’t.

And she, as one of the few people he was close to, should love him as much as he loved her.

Of course at that time what she thought was love was very simple and pure, just like the love that mom and dad had for her.

Zhao Shuming was dragged by her to see a doctor and get a shot, while Jiang Yimiao ended up sleeping in a hospital bed at the health center as tired as she was tonight.

It was Zhao Shuming who ended up carrying her back home with him.

Thinking back, Zhao Shuming’s memories were still clear, and he raised his eyebrows as he watched her break into pieces, unable to interject a word.

“Miao Miao ……”

Jiang Yimiao looked around, his room was cleaned up neatly, even the books on the desktop not far from the desktop were neatly arranged according to the law of size and thickness.

“You go to sleep, I’ll sit there and stare at you, I’ll go back to sleep when your fever is gone.” She opened her bright almond eyes wide, showing Zhao Shuming that she was now very refreshed, “I just slept for a long time, I’m not sleepy at all now.”

How could Zhao Shuming not know that Jiang Yimiao was actually stubborn as well, in the past, as long as it was a goal she wanted to achieve, she would do her best to fight for it.

As long as it was something she really wanted, there was no one who could stop her.

Jiang Yimiao dragged a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, “I’ll sit and watch TV and play with my cell phone, you cover up and go to sleep first.”

She leaned back and collapsed on the chair, but this sitting position made her waist a little uncomfortable, and she had to prop up her waist to sit up straight again.

“Miao Miao, why don’t you sit on the bed, it’s more comfortable.” Zhao Shuming sat up wrapped in the quilt, “This pillow hasn’t been used, it’s new, you can put it behind your waist.”

Zhao Shuming’s bed was also a big bed, although it wasn’t as big as Jiang Yimiao’s master bedroom, a meter and a half wide was big enough for her.

Jiang Yimiao’s hand that was holding down her waist paused, and she sat on the edge of the bed as he fiddled with it, leaning against the bedside with a pillow behind her waist for comfort.

She smoothly touched Zhao Shuming’s forehead, and then touched her own, “It seems like it’s still a bit of a low fever, you should hurry up and go to sleep.”

“Good.” Zhao Shuming didn’t insist that she go to rest first anymore, so he had to chant that he would hurry up to get rid of the fever and not tire her out.

“It seems a bit cold.” Jiang Yimiao sniffled and said coldly. Even though Zhao Shuming was running a fever, the temperature was also high tonight, and naturally the air conditioner was still on in the room.

“Why don’t you take your quilt and cover your legs.” He looked down, she was wearing shorts pajamas and most of her body was exposed to the air.

“Right oh.” Jiang Yimiao got out of bed and shuffled her slippers to quickly carry her own copy of the plush quilt over, then sat back down to where she had just been sitting and covered the lower half of her body with the quilt.

She suddenly turned around and probed her hand onto Zhao Shuming’s forehead, “It doesn’t seem to be that hot anymore.”

“Hmm.” He quietly raised his head in small increments and met her hand against it.

“Quickly go to sleep.” Jiang Yimiao looked at his appearance, and her tone even became a little lower than before.

She was only sitting close to the edge of the bed, actually separated from Zhao Shuming by a certain distance.

Seeing Zhao Shuming close his eyes again, Jiang Yimiao put on her headphones and continued to watch the video playing on her cell phone.

But she couldn’t have imagined how she would fall asleep before Zhao Shuming.

With a second-sleeping physique like hers, as long as she could lie down or lie on her back, she could fall asleep. The body let itself fall down before the consciousness did.

Zhao Shuming gently took the cell phone that she couldn’t hold onto because she was asleep and placed it on the nightstand as if he had planned it.

He also pulled the plush quilt on her body to cover the upper half of her body as well.

He picked her up and moved her toward the inside of the bed, avoiding the risk of her rolling off the edge of the bed.

Only after doing all this did Zhao Shuming lie back in his position, he was on his side and could only see Jiang Yimiao’s face in front of him, even if they met every day now, he had already carefully scrutinized her in the hospital had already scrutinized her once.

But that wasn’t enough, he wanted to see her every moment.

This time it didn’t count as him purposely letting the two sleep in the same bed ……

Zhao Shuming smiled and stroked the broken hair scattered in front of her face, saying softly, “Miao Miao, really like you.”

His voice was so light that only he himself should be able to hear it, so light that it wouldn’t wake her up at all, but Jiang Yimiao’s eyes suddenly rolled.
