The person on the other end was also angry, “Didn’t you say Xu Cheng’an is a psychological wreck who would collapse emotionally if told Shen Ran doesn’t want him? How is it that after talking all afternoon, he’s fine?
Xu Cheng’an was actually lying on the floor by the door, clothes disheveled, with an abnormal red flush on his face, looking extremely miserable.
Chen Jing was both angry and amused.
She tossed her bag on the shoe cabinet and didn’t bother changing shoes. Closing the door, she squatted next to him and touched his forehead with her palm, immediately frowning.
It was too hot.
She quickly held him in her arms, gently patting his face. “Cheng’an? Wake up, you have a fever.”
Xu Cheng’an kept his eyes tightly closed, letting out an uncomfortable groan. Despite being delirious with fever, he still recognized her, reaching out to hug her waist, softly whining, “Ran Jie… Ran Ran… I missed you so much, please don’t leave… Don’t abandon me…”
He began to cry, tears sliding down his flushed cheeks.
Chen Jing was completely focused, struggling to move him to the bed. Sighing, she quickly found a thermometer and brought a basin of hot water to apply a towel to his forehead, changing it every ten minutes. She wiped his hands and ankles with alcohol and occasionally moistened his lips with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. After some time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when his temperature dropped.
As soon as she relaxed, she collapsed and fell asleep by the bedside.
The next day, when Xu Cheng’an saw Chen Jing, his first reaction was to pinch himself. Until the pain on his arm clearly transmitted to his brain, he revealed a joyful expression, moving closer to her, carefully looking at her sleeping eyes. She had really come back. Last night, he had been in a daze, feeling quite uncomfortable, but vaguely felt someone taking care of him, thinking it was a dream. When he opened his eyes, it was Shen Ran.
Xu Cheng’an looked at her, recalling her gentle whispers when he was half-conscious, his heart melting, wanting to kiss her. Holding back repeatedly, he secretly glanced up, seeing her sleeping deeply. His heart stirred, and he could no longer resist, bravely leaning in to kiss her lips.
