I just found her message among a pile of unread messages.
Many days have indeed passed.
The message contained a photo of her. He looked at it for a while and put his phone away. "It looks much more natural this way. Don't mess around with it anymore."
He was referring, of course, to her hairstyle.
Tang Feifei didn't want to respond to his completely unromantic words. Besides, so many days had passed, and she couldn't be happy no matter what he said.
Then, he added: "If you have anything to say, just call me directly, don't send me messages."
At this moment, the servant knocked on the door outside, and she came up with the medicine box. Tang Yu took it and said, "Let the master and his wife eat first, and tell them that we will be down in a while."
"Yes, Master."
The other party goes out.
Tang Yu pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed. He opened the medicine box and took out the thermometer. "Take your temperature. You have a high fever. Call a doctor to take a look."
Tang Feifei opened her mouth and Tang Yu put the thermometer under her tongue.
She kept staring at him, with a lot on her mind. He was looking at his phone, so she looked at him more unscrupulously.
After a while, he seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore, "Don't stare at me, just close your eyes and go to sleep if you're bored."
Tang Feifei almost forgot that he also had eyes on his head. She just didn't know if he could sense the thoughtful look in her eyes.
Or maybe he actually couldn't feel it at all.
"Brother, have you seen the photo?" she suddenly asked. With the thermometer in her mouth, her words were unclear. Tang Yu heard it clearly, "I just saw it. It's a selfie of yours."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"Which one is that?" Tang Yu looked up at her.
Her eyes dimmed a little, "Mom said she wanted to arrange a blind date for you, didn't you rush back? There are so many photos, there must be one that you like."
Under the quilt, she was breathing heavily.
Tang Yu could clearly see her eyelashes fluttering violently, and all kinds of emotions were surging and intertwined in his eyes. In the end, he said in a deep voice: "You should worry about yourself first, and don't always worry about my affairs. I am more than 10 years older than you, and I know more about what to do than you."
In his words and deeds, he just treated her as a child. Moreover, he thought she was meddling in his affairs.
Tang Feifei held the thermometer in her mouth, feeling upset and silent for a long time. After a while, she took out the thermometer and said, "So, do you have any favorites? If yes, yes, if no, no."
"Why didn't I think you were so nagging before? I haven't even looked at the photos yet, how can I find out if there's one that suits me?" Tang Yu took the thermometer and held it up to the light, frowning even more. "My fever is already 39°, and you're still worrying about so many things. Don't you have a headache?"
"It hurts so much!" Tang Feifei said angrily, pulled the quilt higher and refused to look at him.
Tang Yu was helpless. Knowing that she was suffering from the fever, he did not provoke her anymore. He dimmed the bedside lamp, turned off the main light in the room, closed the door and went out.
As soon as his footsteps faded away, Tang Feifei pulled the quilt off, stared at the ceiling, and felt increasingly weak all over.
Tang Yu went out and called a doctor. Yuan Qing and Tang Jingkai went upstairs. "What's going on? You said you feel uncomfortable. Is it serious?"
"She has a slight fever. I've called a doctor. She's still sleeping right now." Tang Yu stood at the door: "Mom, Dad, go eat first. I'm here."
"Your dad and I will go in and take a look." Yuan Qing and Tang Jing drove in.
Tang Feifei was indeed upset, and her mind was confused. When her parents came in and asked softly what was going on, she acted coquettishly towards them and asked them to eat first.
Yuan Qing nodded, "I'll have someone save the food for you and your brother. If you feel uncomfortable, just call your brother."
"What can he do?" Tang Feifei's throat was so dry that she was hoarse.
"Do whatever you want. You are a patient now." Yuan Qing tucked her in. Tang Jingkai touched her forehead, "When will the doctor come? Your fever is so high."
Tang Yu brought in a glass of water and said, "He said he would be here in ten minutes, so just bear with it."
The last sentence was said to Tang Feifei, "Get up and drink some water before going to sleep."
Tang Feifei's whole body ached from the fever, but with people around her, she felt better and more comfortable.
She propped herself up on the bed and sat up. Tang Yu held her arm with one hand and grabbed two pillows with the other hand to cushion her back. He waited until she sat down before handing her the water.
He said to his parents, "Hurry up and eat first, or it will get cold."
"Well. Then we'll go down first." Yuan Qing said, and gave Tang Feifei some instructions. Before Tang Jingkai left, he also reminded Tang Yu, "Urge the doctor and ask him to come over quickly."
——
They went out, and after a while, Tang Yu and Tang Feifei were the only ones left in the room.
The water was a little hot, so she blew on it while drinking it slowly. Tang Yu was really busy, and he didn't even have time to relax during dinner, as calls kept coming in on his phone.
He pressed the hang-up button several times, but calls kept coming in. He glanced at Tang Feifei and said, "I'm going to the terrace to answer the call. Drink some water and lie back down to take a nap."
"Yeah." Tang Feifei nodded. Tang Yu answered the phone and went to the terrace. She followed his figure with her eyes.
He was talking about work, his expression was serious, he didn't say much, but he was very concise. It was all professional words, she couldn't understand it. But she felt that Tang Yu was shining brightly.
It feels like a long time since I last saw you for a few days.
The three years she had spent in Judea had not seemed so long.
He talked on the phone for more than ten minutes. Tang Feifei was dazed by the fever and really tired, so she fell asleep. Afterwards, she vaguely heard the doctor coming.
Her parents were there, Tang Yu was there too, and she couldn't hear what the doctor was saying.
"Fei Fei." Someone patted my shoulder when I was sleeping soundly.
She barely opened her eyes and saw Tang Yu leaning over and talking to her, "Take the medicine and go to sleep."
Her lips were burning dry, and she moved them twice before she murmured, "I don't want to move..."
"You have to take medicine even if you don't want to move."
She ignored it. Her whole body felt as if it was filled with lead and she even had difficulty opening her eyelids.
Her face was now flushed red, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She looked pitiful. Tang Yu felt that she was still as childish as she was when she was little.
But we can't just let her be so willful and not take her medicine.
Tang Yu sat at the head of the bed and wrapped her up with the quilt. She was so weak that she had no strength at all. As soon as she sat up, she fell into his arms.
In his arms, the young girl's delicate body was as soft as a pillow.
Tang Yu's breathing became a little difficult, "Fei Fei, take the medicine."
She just snorted through her nose as a response.
He took the pills and water from the bedside. She didn't open her mouth, so he had to pinch the pills and stuff them into her mouth. This time she finally held the pills in her mouth, but ended up holding his finger in her mouth as well.
