Martial law in the capital.
The person sent by Luo Jiangjing to visit was not able to come in, so he had to stand downstairs wearing a mask and make a phone call to Bai Luochuan, and asked someone to deliver the things he brought in.
In such a serious situation outside, the only thing that comforted Bai Luochuan was that Mi Yang's fever finally subsided.
Mi Yang used to have a low-grade fever at night, but now it doesn't happen anymore. He took care of him personally and measured Mi Yang's temperature several times at night. It was around 36.5 degrees. Seeing that it was stable and there was no danger, he was relieved. After waiting for the medical staff to come, Bai Luochuan explained the situation to them, and they also said that it was safe for the time being.
However, the cordons in front and behind the entire hotel are still there, and no one, including some hotel staff, is allowed to enter or leave.
Bai Luochuan frowned and looked downstairs. For some reason, more medical staff in protective clothing came.
“The Ministry of Health Press Office is now reporting…”
Mi Yang turned on the TV and saw the news. He listened carefully, but Bai Luochuan next to him was pacing back and forth by the window in annoyance.
In the afternoon, the visitors sent by Luo Jiangjing arrived downstairs of the hotel on time again.
Soon two bags of things were delivered, including food, clothing and daily necessities, with everything in stock, and all were prepared in double portions.
Luo Jiangjing has called less frequently these past two days, but the people he sent to visit them have come more frequently, basically twice a day. After delivering the things today, he called Bai Luochuan from the bottom of the hotel building and asked, "Is there anything else you need? Anything is fine. Ms. Luo told me to try my best to meet all your needs."
Bai Luochuan couldn't think of what he wanted for a moment, so he turned around and asked Mi Yang, "Is there anything you want?"
Mi Yang thought about it and shook his head.
Bai Luochuan said to the man, "Then forget it. There are enough for us. Besides, it's only the last few days of quarantine. You don't need to send any more."
The man agreed and left.
Luo Jiangjing called the next afternoon. Her voice was tired and tense as she said to Bai Luochuan, "Luochuan, stand in front of the window and look outside. Can you see your mother?"
Bai Luochuan was stunned for a moment, then walked over and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to look out. In the empty courtyard outside, there was only a familiar black car parked. A tall woman in a thick windbreaker was standing there, also looking up. She even tried to wave, but the two sides were too far away and could not see each other clearly. Bai Luochuan only saw that she was wearing a thick mask, which covered her face tightly.
He nodded and said, "I can see it."
Luo Jiangjing said, "Listen to mom, there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the patient who was sent to the hospital from the hotel has been diagnosed and has been sent to the intensive care unit. You will continue to be isolated for a while. The good news is that neither of you has signs of fever, and the fifteen-day isolation period is almost up. Mom has applied for you so that you can be isolated at home... Just separate yourself from the crowd and take some precautions. We will go to the hospital for a check-up and registration first. It's okay, mom will be with you."
Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go get ready now."
Luo Jiangjing added: "Give the phone to Xiaoguai, and Mom will talk to him."
Bai Luochuan agreed, gave the phone to Mi Yang, and turned around to pack his things.
Mi Yang picked up the phone and heard Luo Jiangjing comforting him softly, "Little darling, your mother misses you very much. She originally insisted on coming to the capital, but I stopped her and told her not to come. You have a younger sister at home. If you don't take good care of her, she will definitely get sick. Your mother is having a hard time. Can you understand her?"
At first, Mi Yang only hoped that Bai Luochuan would leave here, and he didn't want his family to come here, let alone expect Luo Jiangjing to come here in person. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Of course, Aunt Luo, I called home before and asked you to persuade my mother. I can take care of myself. You shouldn't have come. I'm already very tired from work, and you made another special trip. We can go home in a few days..."
Mi Yang knew that the epidemic could be controlled within half a year, so he was not too afraid. Luo Jiangjing thought he was still young and was well protected at school all day, as innocent and obedient as a blank sheet of paper, but being obedient at this time was better than being afraid. She said to Mi Yang: "You will follow Luo Chuan down later, and Auntie will take you to the hospital."
Mi Yang said: "Okay."
Luo Jiangjing said with satisfaction: "You have always been a good child. If you need anything, just tell Aunt Luo, okay?"
Mi Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Luo, I understand."
Mi Yang hung up the phone and turned around to see Bai Luochuan had already packed his things, taking only the necessary things and leaving the rest at the hotel.
The ambulance arrived late, so Luo Jiangjing called them and kept comforting the children.
Bai Luochuan said: "You should go back soon. It's nothing serious. We have all taken our temperatures today and we don't have fever. We must be fine."
Luo Jiangjing had been busy for many days and was standing in the cold wind. She was about to faint. She said with a pale face, "Mom is not tired. Look at me for a while."
Bai Luochuan said: "It's cold outside. You'll catch a cold if you stand for too long."
Only then did she agree to get back into the car.
Soon, the ambulance arrived, and Bai Luochuan and Mi Yang walked downstairs. They did not say a word to Luo Jiangjing. Both of them wore masks and nodded to each other across the cordon as a greeting. Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan were sent to the ambulance by medical staff. Luo Jiangjing kept following the figures of the two children. When the ambulance drove away, she immediately returned to the car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
The hospital's testing department was in another building. Although it was not as strict as the infectious disease department, it was not easy to enter casually. Luo Jiangjing, wearing a protective suit, could only follow them to the door. She watched them go in for testing through a glass door and could only nod and look at the two children with encouraging eyes.
Bai Luochuan's examination was completed quickly. Mi Yang was called in again by the doctor after the examination because he had a low fever before.
When Mi Yang turned back, Bai Luochuan stood up in fright.
Luo Jiangjing was also startled by him even through the door. Seeing his pale face, he comforted him, "It's okay, Xiaoguai will come out soon."
I don’t know if Bai Luochuan heard it through the glass door. He just stood there, waiting motionlessly.
Luo Jiangjing also frowned and looked at the medical room.
Soon, Mi Yang came out. He nodded to them while wearing a mask, and Bai Luochuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Jiangjing also calmed down her nervousness, but within a few minutes, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The two people were waiting there, and Luo Jiangjing went to issue them a health certificate.
Bai Luochuan sat side by side with him, nervously reaching out to grab his wrist, as if he was afraid that Mi Yang was going to go somewhere. Mi Yang twitched, and he became stronger and whispered, "Don't move."
Mi Yang reached out and pried his fingers apart, saying, "I feel uncomfortable when you do this."
Bai Luochuan kept his eyes down for a long time without saying anything, his hands tightly gripping the ground, and he did not let go even when Luo Jiangjing came.
Luo Jiangjing looked much more relaxed, and his complexion also improved. He said with a smile in his eyes, "It's OK, no problem, it went better than I thought. Let's get in the car, I'll take you home."
Bai Luochuan grabbed Mi Yang's hand and followed her. Luo Jiangjing was used to seeing the two of them being close, they had been like this since childhood, so he didn't care at all. He whispered to Bai Luochuan, "You don't know, I thought it was very serious just now and I needed to stay in Beijing for a month of quarantine. I also bought a house this morning, and I was worried about how to find an aunt to take care of you for this month..."
Bai Luochuan said: "I told you, it will be fine. I have already asked if the temperature will go down. Besides, Xiaoguai has not had a fever since his fever subsided."
Luo Jiangjing said, "Yes, now it's all right. The examination has been done, and the health certificate has been issued. We can go back to Shanghai. Although we still need to report the situation to the local doctor within a month, it is much better than being here. It is more convenient at home anyway." She thought for a moment and said, "By the way, you didn't tell your grandfather about your quarantine in Beijing. He is old and we were afraid of scaring him. Your father came to ask about it several times, but he was busy and couldn't leave... Did your father call you?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Yes, I called him and asked him this morning."
Luo Jiangjing said, "That's more like it." She sighed, turned around and comforted her son, "Don't blame your dad, he's too busy with work."
Bai Luochuan hummed.
The mother and son looked normal, but Mi Yang, whose wrist was held the whole time, felt inexplicably guilty.
After getting in the car, Luo Jiangjing talked to them at first, but soon fell asleep. She was busy with work, and if her own son had not been in trouble, she probably would not have risked her life to make such a trip.
Bai Luochuan held Mi Yang's wrist tightly all the time. It would take several hours to drive back, so the two of them just held hands and slept with their heads touching all the way.
When they arrived in Shanghai, Mi Yang saw his own small Xiali from a distance. It was the car Cheng Qing used to pick up goods, and he was waiting for his son at the intersection from a distance.
Mi Yang got out of the car with his things. Luo Jiangjing didn't let the driver stay for long. He lowered the window slightly, said a few words to Cheng Qing, and left.
Cheng Qing hugged her son tightly, held his face and looked at him for a long time, and said with red eyes: "Let's go home with mom."
Mi Yang smiled and said, "Hey."
Cheng Qing brought Mi Yang back home, put the suitcase he brought at the door first, and pushed his son into the bathroom, where there was a bathtub full of hot water so he could soak in it comfortably for a while.
While Mi Yang was taking a bath, Cheng Qing had already disinfected and cleaned the things in his suitcase. She also took a set of pajamas for him and put them at the door. She asked him through the bathroom door: "Yangyang, do you want to eat anything? Mom will make you a big meal today."
Mi Yang said: "It's all right, Mom, I love whatever you cook."
Cheng Qing responded and went to the kitchen.
Mi Yang came out after washing. Just as he put on his clothes, he heard the sound of slippers. He looked up and saw the little girl's face flushed as she rubbed her eyes and rushed towards him, saying in a soft crying voice, "Brother!"
Mi Yang hugged the little girl, kissed her, and said, "Hey, brother is back."
The little girl hadn't seen her brother for more than ten days. She hugged Mi Yang's neck and refused to let go, acting coquettishly with him.
Mi Yang carried her to the kitchen and stood at the door and said, "Mom, is there anything I can do for you?"
Cheng Qing felt more at ease when he saw him coming back. Although there was still a dark blue in his eyes, he looked more energetic. He smiled and said, "No, you guys go play in the living room. There's a lot of smoke here. By the way, Xiaoxue, didn't you say you would show your painting to your brother when he comes back?"
The little girl then remembered, twisted her body and jumped off Mi Yang, and ran to get the painting.
It was her kindergarten drawing homework, with a blue sky, white clouds and a house. In front of it stood a row of little people on the grass. They were still a stick figure family. The one with long hair was the mother, the one with short hair was the father, and the two in the middle were slightly smaller, the two children. The only difference was that the youngest child wore a square hat with a red symbol on it.
Mi Yang hugged her and asked, "What is this?"
The little girl said, "It's a doctor's hat." She turned around and hugged Mi Yang, crying, "I don't want my brother to be sick alone, I want to accompany him, and, I also want to treat my brother."
Mi Yang's heart softened and he hugged her and kissed her several times.
