Murong Shi probably seldom takes the initiative to care about people, her expression is not natural, her tone is blunt, and her actions are also blunt.
She shoved the things into Xu Chuanchuan without saying hello, Xu Chuanchuan stretched out his hand to pick it up, but fluttered, and watched the plastic bag "baha" fall to the ground.
The two of them couldn't react to the unexpected situation, they glanced at each other speechlessly, and squatted down almost at the same time.
With a "dong" sound, the foreheads of the two bumped into each other unsurprisingly. It wasn't heavy, but Xu Chuanchuan felt more dizzy.
When she was stunned, Murong Shi had already picked up the plastic bag and wanted to give it to Xu Chuanchuan again, but found that her eyes were blank and her expression was dull.
Murong Shi paused, then suddenly reached out to Xu Chuanchuan's forehead.
Xu Chuanchuan widened his eyes.
Fortunately, Murong Shi only touched her hand before withdrawing her hand, frowned, and said, "It's very hot." She pointed to the bag in her hand, "There is a thermometer in addition to the medicine."
Sure enough, people are easily vulnerable when they get sick. Xu Chuanchuan temporarily forgot about the unpleasant thing between him and Murong Shi. She took the plastic bag and said thank you softly.
Murong Shi heard that there was something wrong with her throat, glanced at her dry lips, and asked, "Does your throat hurt?"
It's more than uncomfortable, Xu Chuanchuan doesn't even dare to do the most basic swallowing action now, she tries to avoid talking less and just nods her head.
Murong Shi said helplessly, "How much did you eat last night?"
Xu Chuanchuan pointed to the trash can beside the coffee table in the living room, unable to smile if he wanted to.
Murong Shi walked in to check, and said, "Blame me, I forgot to tell you what Aunt Lian ordered yesterday."
Xu Chuanchuan touched his nose embarrassingly.
Murong Shi sighed, stared at the refrigerator and asked, "Anything else?"
Xu Chuanchuan nodded.
"Bring me a bowl."
Xu Chuanchuan's bowl was an oversized crisper. She thought Murong Shi wanted to eat lychees, so she hurriedly went to the room and took out the bowl she used to eat watermelon yesterday, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
The bowl has not been washed, and there is red watermelon juice left in it. If the air conditioner hadn't been turned on, it would have gone rancid long ago.
She hesitated: "I... I only have this bowl... "
Murong Shi didn't seem to dislike it, and without a word, took the bowl away, turned around and went into the bathroom. When she came out, she saw Xu Chuanchuan still standing stupidly and reminded, "Aren't you feeling bad? Take your temperature and take medicine quickly."
"Oh… "
Murong Shi opened the refrigerator, took out a handful of lychees from the refrigerator, peeled them carefully, put the flesh of each fruit on the lid of the bowl, and threw the lychee skin into the bowl.
Xu Chuanchuan was very puzzled: "What are you doing?"
"The lychee skin can be boiled in water to dispel the fire. I saw Aunt Lian do it last night." Murong Shi took the time to look at her, "Why don't you take your temperature?"
Xu Chuanchuan opened the plastic bag and found that Murong Shi had given her an electronic thermometer, which she had used before, either under her armpit or in her mouth. But when she thought that Murong Shi had used this thing before, she hesitated and didn't know what to do.
She pointed to the thermometer and said hesitantly, "How did you measure it before?"
"In your mouth. You can't use it?"
"It will be..."
"What's the problem then?"
"No... no problem..."
He said there was no problem, but Xu Chuanchuan didn't move. She is still struggling.
As if realizing her concerns, Murong Shi stopped his movements and said blankly, "First, you should know that I don't have bad breath."
Xu Chuanchuan: "Uh..." She knows, but she doesn't need to emphasize it at this time, right
Just because Murong Shi said that, Xu Chuanchuan felt that his whole body was about to burn.
But Murong Shi looked very calm, and said to her seriously: "Second, there is a bottle of alcohol in it, you should disinfect it before using it."
Xu Chuanchuan opened the plastic bag, only to find that there was alcohol and medical cotton inside. While wiping the probe, she looked at Murong Shi's expression, but she hesitated.
Murong Shi focused on peeling lychees without looking at her.
Xu Chuanchuan thought to himself: Since this thing was put in her mouth by Murong Shi, of course she was embarrassed to stuff it under her armpit.
But if this thing was put directly into her mouth... She felt like it was kissing Murong Shi indirectly...
It's over, her brain is burned out, why does she think about it? !
Fortunately, Murong Shi didn't notice her.
Xu Chuanchuan wiped the thermometer over and over again in a daze. After wiping, she carefully put the probe into her mouth, her tongue was suppressed, and she was unable to speak for a while.
She quietly watched Murong Shi peeling lychees.
Murong Shi's hands are beautiful, with long, slender fingers, round nails with a healthy luster, fair skin, and no hair can be seen up close. Such a pair of hands is enough to be a hand model.
Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but stretched out her hand and looked at it. Compared with Murong Shi's hand, she felt that her own were chicken feet.
The beauty peels the lychee, and it can be included in the painting with just one shot. The fat-like hands peeled out the plump white lychees, which were pleasing to the eye no matter what, Xu Chuanchuan was stunned when he looked at them.
Murong Shi peeled off a dozen or so in one go, then squeezed a lychee and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it carefully, narrowing his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it.
Xu Chuanchuan swallowed her saliva involuntarily, her throat became dry and painful, and she grinned.
Murong Shi didn't notice her strangeness, and when he touched the tip of his tongue, he spit out the small pit in his palm, and when he threw it into the trash, he found that Xu Chuanchuan was staring at her for a moment.
Murong Shi's eyes changed, but he quickly regained his calm and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Xu Chuanchuan's consciousness was instantly pulled back to reality by her words, he shook his not sober head, and lowered his head in disguise.
Murong Shi obviously misunderstood what she meant, and said to herself, "If you want to eat, you have to endure it, and we will talk about it when you are healed."
With the thermometer in his mouth, it was inconvenient to speak, so Xu Chuanchuan slowed down and said vaguely, "I'm just curious how many you want to peel."
Murong Shi actually understood it, looked at the lychee skin in the bowl, and said, "It's almost there." She stood up to wash it.
Xu Chuanchuan also stood up conditioned reflexively.
Just when Murong Shi turned around, the two almost collided again.
Murong Shi's face was as usual, and he asked her, "Do you have a pot?"
Xu Chuanchuan shook his head, suddenly had an idea, and pointed to the kettle with water next to him.
"Use this?" Murong Shi thought for a while, "It should work too."
If it wasn't for the thermometer in his mouth, Xu Chuanchuan really wanted to say to her, "I'll do it myself, don't bother you."
But Murong Shi didn't even look at her and went into the bathroom again.
Xu Chuanchuan followed closely, tentatively trying to take what was in her hand.
Murong Shi rudely put her hand away, glared at her at the same time, and said, "I don't steal anything, so don't keep following me, okay?"
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Murong Shi turned on the faucet and added: "If you are sick, just stay well."
Xu Chuanchuan returned to the living room in despair, sat there, and let his drowsy brain start to think wildly.
Everyone was at work at this point, no one should have noticed when Murong Shi came up, right? She was really afraid that others would misunderstand her relationship with Murong Shi, especially after the forced kiss incident, she was walking on thin ice every time she got along with Murong Shi.
Leaving work aside, Murong Shi came up to take care of her
Xu Chuanchuan didn't know why Murong Shi was so kind to her suddenly, and she was not narcissistic enough to think that Murong Shi had other purposes for her, because she couldn't think of a proper reason, so she was restless.
When Murong Shi came out with the washed lychee skin, the time was just right, and Xu Chuanchuan took out the thermometer. Before she could take a look, the thermometer was taken away by Murong Shi.
It still has her saliva on it...
Murong Shi's movements were so natural that Xu Chuanchuan felt that they had a good relationship.
Murong Shi looked at the number displayed above and said, "Thirty-eight degrees, take two pills first."
Of course that was just a momentary illusion.
When I was looking at the time just now, I accidentally saw the previous call record. Xu Chuanchuan thought about it and asked, "How do you know I'm sick?"
Murong Shi put the washed lychee skin into the kettle, and said casually, "I called you on the landline. Originally, I wanted to remind you not to eat too much lychee at one time. Someone else picked it up. He told me that you had a fever and asked for leave."
Xu Chuanchuan came to his senses and took out two pills.
She probed the temperature of the water in the cup and found that the water was still scalding hot. She didn't usually store bottled water, but she suddenly remembered the time she saw Murong Shi swallowing a pill, so she tried to put a pill in her mouth.
But she forgot that she was seriously angry now, and her throat felt as uncomfortable as smoking. She couldn't squeeze out the excess saliva at all. After swallowing half of it, the pill was stuck in her throat and couldn't go up or down.
Xu Chuanchuan clenched his throat and coughed violently, and Murong Shi looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Xu Chuanchuan was speechless, and his face flushed red after a while. Feeling like she was about to die, she jumped up and rushed into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and drank the water with her hands, and finally swallowed the pill.
When she swallowed the second pill, she suddenly heard Murong Shi say, "Take medicine with raw water, are you crazy?"
Xu Chuanchuan felt ashamed, with a big red face, he lied casually: "I accidentally choked just now..."
Murong Shi said nothing.
Shame, I have a fever and feel my IQ has dropped again. Xu Chuanchuan washed his face and cooled himself down.
The lychee skin had already been put into the kettle and burned, Murong Shi seemed to have completed the task, wiped the water on his hands with a tissue, and said, "You have a good rest, remember to drink plenty of hot water, and don't turn on the air conditioner too much. Don't eat lychees for a few days."
Xu Chuanchuan listened earnestly like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to assign homework, and in her hoarse voice, she said sincerely, "Thank you."
Murong Shi's expression was indifferent: "I'm leaving."
Xu Chuanchuan stood up and wanted to send her off.
Murong Shi turned around abruptly, stared straight at her face, and said, "I just feel sorry for what I did to you before. I didn't want to do it, so don't get me wrong."
The doubts in his heart were finally answered, but Xu Chuanchuan was confused by such straightforward language. Fortunately, she has a fever now, and she can't see any embarrassment or embarrassment. She lowered her head and said hoarsely, "I know."
After Murong Shi left, Xu Chuanchuan went back to the room and lay down.
Not sure if the drug played a hypnotic effect, she quickly fell asleep. But she didn't sleep very deeply, because her body was always hot and sweaty. She wanted to get up and drink water several times, but her body was limp and completely unresponsive.
I don't know how long it has been in a daze, as if I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Xu Chuanchuan struggled several times, but still could not open his eyes, so he could only lie on the bed and continue to pretend to be dead.
The knocking on the door didn't last long, Xu Chuanchuan didn't care anymore, and continued to sleep with the quilt in his arms.
Then she had a dream. Dreaming of someone pushing open her door, the rhythmic sound of "dong dong dong" high heels is getting closer and closer. A burst of aroma wafted, and someone approached the bed, paused for a moment, and suddenly bent down and called her name softly.
In his sleep, Xu Chuanchuan hummed unconsciously.
Immediately, she felt a cold hand on her forehead, checking her body temperature, and at the same time helping her to wipe the sweat off her head.
When the hand was taken away, the comfortable cold touch disappeared, Xu Chuanchuan felt a little reluctant, but she couldn't move.
Although she kept her eyes closed, she always felt a burning gaze watching her silently.
The familiar voice sounded again, calling her name softly: "Xu Chuanchuan, get up and eat something before going to sleep."
Xu Chuanchuan still didn't respond.
The figure seemed to have lost patience and reached out and patted her cheek.
Xu Chuanchuan tried several times but couldn't wake up, until a pain came from her cheeks, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes gradually focused, and she saw a person squatting in front of her bed, with slender eyes looking at her quietly without any emotion, as if she had been watching for a long time.
When he realized that the person in front of him was Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan was startled and his body bounced up, but because he lacked strength, the force of that stroke was negligible.
She blinked her eyes hard to make sure that she did not have hallucinations, and the person in front of her was indeed Murong Shi.
So, she wasn't dreaming just now...
Murong Shi broke the silence and took the initiative to explain without waiting for her question: "You didn't respond after knocking on the door for a long time, so I came in with the key myself."
Xu Chuanchuan was not fully awake yet, and stared at her blankly.
Murong Shi put the heat preservation bucket in his hand on the bedside table and said, "I asked Aunt Lian to cook porridge for you. You can eat a little first, and then take the medicine again."
It was delivering medicine and food, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't tell what it was like. She slowly got up, picked up her phone, and found that it was lunch time. She didn't feel hungry at all.
She suddenly thought of something: "Have you eaten?"
Murong Shi said lightly: "Not yet. Mine is below, you can use it slowly."
Murong Shi turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly said, "Thank you."
"Well." Murong Shi didn't turn his head back, "It's still the same as before, don't get me wrong."
"I know... I won't get it wrong."
The mouth was dry and bitter, and Xu Chuanchuan had no appetite. I didn't expect that the mustard and lean meat porridge cooked by Aunt Lian was delicious.
After eating porridge and taking medicine, Xu Chuanchuan climbed into bed again.
Around four o'clock, Xu Chuanchuan was completely awake. The sweat of the body has been evaporated, except for some weakness, but the spirit is good. She checked her temperature and found that the fever had subsided.
The water in which the lychee skin is boiled has cooled down, the color looks strange, and the taste is a bit astringent. It didn't taste good, but after all, this was cooked for her by Murong Shi herself, so she couldn't live up to her heart, Xu Chuanchuan drank the whole pot of water.
When she was about to get off work, she thought for a long time and decided to call Murong Shi.
"Dududu-"
It took a long time for the call to be connected, Xu Chuanchuan cleared his throat and said, "I have a fever."
Murong Shi never talked nonsense, and said succinctly, "That's good."
"Thank you so much for today."
"You're welcome."
"That... The porridge is delicious. Thank you Aunt Lian for me. I'll wash the heat preservation bucket and return it to you tomorrow."
"Um."
After only saying these few words, Xu Chuanchuan's palms began to sweat again. She put down her phone and let out a long sigh.
Xu Xiangxiang heard that she had a fever and came to see her at night.
Xu Chuanchuan blocked her outstretched hand: "Don't touch it, it's done."
Xu Xiangxiang looked at her pale face and sighed: "It's so pitiful, I live alone, and no one takes care of me when I'm sick."
Xu Chuanchuan was embarrassed to tell her that Murong Shi had been taking care of herself today, and deliberately changed the subject: "There are a lot of lychees in the refrigerator, take it back and share it with your classmates."
"Wow, so much!"
"You take more."
Since the forced kiss incident, Xu Chuanchuan has been secretive every time he goes to find Murong Shi. There is no way, Aunt Lian's thermal insulation bucket is too big, if she doesn't hide from others, she can't explain it when someone asks her.
After Linda asked for leave, Murong Shi's office became even more deserted. As soon as Xu Chuanchuan entered, he was shocked because of the cold air.
Hearing the movement, Murong Shi put down her work, raised her head, and looked at her face: "It should look completely fine."
Xu Chuanchuan whispered "um": "I have washed the thermal insulation bucket."
"Leave it alone."
Xu Chuanchuan put the heat preservation bucket on the coffee table, peeked at Murong Shi, found that she was still sitting still, and couldn't hold back for a while: "Aren't you off work yet?"
Murong Shi took a pen and wrote something on the paper with a "swoosh" without raising his head: "I have something else to do."
Xu Chuanchuan shouldn't bother her, he pondered a little, and asked her, "Do you still want that thermometer?"
Murong Shi stopped to look at her and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to keep it as a souvenir?"
"Cough—no." Xu Chuanchuan pretended to look away, "I forgot to take it down, I'll give it back to you tomorrow."
In fact, she wanted to buy another one and give it back to Murong Shi, but she had been busy today and forgot.
But Murong Shi said, "No need, I rarely have a fever, so I don't usually use it."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." I rarely have a fever.
At this point, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't say anything else, she bowed slightly and said, "Don't disturb your work."
As he was walking out lightly, he suddenly heard Murong Shi say, "Could you please pour me a glass of water?"
Xu Chuanchuan's heart skipped half a beat, and after calming down, he turned around and said, "That's ok."
Murong Shi has always had the habit of drinking coffee, and there is still coffee residue in the cup. Xu Chuanchuan went to wash the cup first, then took the water and sent it to Murong Shi.
"thanks."
When handing over, the hands of the two people inevitably touch. The air conditioner was on, Murong Shi's hands were very cold, the contrast between the cold and the hot was obvious, Xu Chuanchuan curled his fingers as if they were frozen.
She stood awkwardly: "Is there anything else I need to do?"
Murong Shi took a sip of water unhurriedly, and answered the question: "This is the office, someone will come in at any time, I won't do anything to you, and you don't have to be so nervous."
Xu Chuanchuan didn't expect this to be what she said, and opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to continue.
Next, what Murong Shi said shocked her beyond measure.
The lipstick on her lips was rubbed off by the water. Murong Shi took a tissue and wiped it slowly. Finally, she crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash, saying, "I had a crush on you, but since you don't want it, I I won't force you again."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan was surprised. She regretted running slowly just now, what should she do now
She couldn't see through Murong Shi at all. Since she acted so indifferent every time, why did she bring up these embarrassing topics again and again
Just like yesterday, Xu Chuanchuan was just skeptical and didn't have any complicated ideas, but Murong Shi repeatedly emphasized to her, "Don't misunderstand."
Murong Shi was still drinking water leisurely, and her elegant appearance was as if she was drinking some top-quality coffee.
Xu Chuanchuan was very unhappy.
This person is always like this, doing some inexplicable things, saying some inexplicable things, and he is not affected at all, but in the end she is overwhelmed.
Since he is not an opponent, Xu Chuanchuan can't hear what he decides to pretend to do. She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Keep busy."
After just staying with Murong Shi for so long, she was so nervous that her palms sweated and her heart beat faster. It must be because of the disease that the nerves are still very weak.
After staying any longer, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly left.
Can't hear, can't see, so that the heart will not be disturbed.
