Chapter 13: high fever

Views:

This kind of behavior of Su Jia is too abnormal, and it can no longer be described by words such as playing petty temper and blowing hair.

Ji Xuanyi withdrew his hand and looked at her for a moment with those eyes that had experienced thousands of sails and countless people, and caught a strong emotion in her words and deeds—fear.

Bone-deep fear.

Ji Xuanyi stopped acting rashly, half squatted in front of her, and called Zhang Tezhu.

Not long after, Special Assistant Zhang arrived and brought a pack of colorful fruit candies.

Ji Xuanyi opened the package, picked out the grape flavor, and stretched it out to the shivering girl.

His eyes were deep and lingering, coaxing quietly.

Su Jia glanced hastily, grabbed one quickly, and peeled it into his mouth.

Ji Xuanyi watched her eat, and the unknowingly surging anxiety in his eyes gradually faded away.

Su Jia tasted the familiar, sour-sweet taste, and was soothed invisibly. The erratic, erratic mood gradually stabilized.

She slowed down for a while, leaning on the wall to stand up.

But her legs were already numb from squatting, and she almost fell back to the ground, as if a hundred ants were devouring her heart.

Ji Xuanyi stretched out his right hand subconsciously.

It's just that before touching anyone, Su Jia already raised her hand, made an evasive movement, and turned her head away from looking at him.

Ji Xuanyi put down his hands indifferently, and seeing that she was standing still, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Go to the hospital."

"No, no." Su Jia shook her head and replied briefly, "I want to go back to school."

Ji Xuanyi stared at her for a few seconds, feeling that she was not sick normally, and said, "Let's go."

Su Jia didn't say a word, and walked forward.

As Cullinan drove to North City University, the two were speechless.

Su Jia curled up in a corner of the back seat, clutching the phone tightly with both hands, checking the time every few seconds.

Anxiety and uneasiness are revealed in a clear way.

Ji Xuanyi glanced at her, inexplicably thinking that one of the reasons behind her habit of holding on to her phone as soon as she gets in the car is that it is convenient to call the police at any time.

For a moment, his fingertips on his legs slowed down, and he sat on the other side, farther away from her.

Not long after, Su Jia opened the door of bedroom 203 in a daze, and it was very lively inside.

Yao Linxia and the three of them came back from the basketball court not long ago.

Ming Li took a lot of photos of Li Shuo and others playing basketball. When she saw Su Jia, she jumped over and showed her: "Jia Jia, Li Shuo played very handsomely today. He deserves to be from the School of Physical Education. Sweeping."

Su Jia glanced at it for a while, and said casually, "Yes."

Yao Linxia, who was sitting at the desk coughing melon seeds, saw that she was in an unusual state, spit out a mouthful of melon seeds, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Su Jia waved her hand: "I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a shower."

She picked up her pajamas and walked to the bathroom. The other three looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Yao Linxia thought for a moment, followed up and asked, "Ji Xuanyi is not a man, did he bully you?"

Su Jia shook her head and closed the bathroom door.

Yao Linxia stopped asking any more questions, turned back to the desk, and continued to crack sunflower seeds.

Su Jia went to bed after washing up.

She felt extremely uneasy, tossing and turning, and having nightmares again and again.

She seemed to have turned into a lonely light feather, even though she tried her best to escape against the wind, she was still weak and helpless.

She was swept back by the howling wind, and fell back to the cloudy hometown, back to the dark, endless drinking and cursing.

Falling back to the cold and cramped alley where you can't see your fingers.

Sharp claws protruded from the depths of the darkness, strangled her ankles, and dragged violently.

Tearing her clothes and pants, piercing her bones and blood, she will never stop until she is forced to fall into the endless purgatory, dissolving into the black color of chaos.

To some extent, Su Jia had a sliver of consciousness, knowing that she was trapped in a dream, and wanted to break free and wake up, but no matter what, she couldn't wake up.

Had to suffer ups and downs.

Yao Linxia is always the champion of staying up late in the four-person dormitory. After midnight, the rest of the roommates have seen Duke Zhou, and she is still in high spirits, playing games online with Zhou Yuan.

At the end of the round, Yao Linxia was thirsty, and was about to get out of bed to pour a glass of water, when he accidentally discovered that Su Jia, who was on the opposite bed, was in a condition.

They didn't install the bed curtains for the time being, but with the help of the light from the computer and desk lamp, it was enough to see them.

Su Jia, who usually sleeps honestly and doesn't move after lying on her side, is rolling around on the bed, holding the quilt tightly with both hands.

Yao Linxia was not at ease, so he went down and climbed onto her bed, and after a closer look, he realized that Su Jia was just tossing and turning.

Her face was flushed, her facial features were wrinkled, her expression was painful, and the bangs on her temples were wet with fine beads of sweat.

The air conditioner in their dormitory was turned on very low, even if they covered two quilts, it would not be so hot.

Yao Linxia reached out to touch her forehead, it was hot.

"Fuck." Startled by her body temperature, Yao Linxia hurriedly shook her: "Jiajia."

Mingli on the next bed woke up from the disturbance, and asked in a daze, "Yao Yao, what happened?"

Yao Linxia: "Jiajia has a fever."

Most of Mingli's drowsiness dissipated, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed to help.

Yao Linxia woke up Su Jia, but she didn't know how long she had been burning. She was so hot that she felt extremely uncomfortable and leaned tiredly on Yao Linxia's shoulder.

"Send her to the hospital." Yao Lin made a quick decision.

Shu Xinjing also woke up, and the three girls worked together to bring Su Jia to the city hospital.

After busying in the emergency department, Su Jia hung up the water on the hospital bed.

Because of being too weak, she closed her eyes heavily and fell asleep again.

The three girls went outside, Mingli and Shu Xinjing discussed in a low voice:

"I don't think Jiajia's body is very weak."

"It's not normal for her to come back in the afternoon."

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? She might have a stress reaction. Couldn't she be stimulated this afternoon?"

Yao Linxia, who stood side by side, was silent all the time, and his face became more stinky the more he listened.

She walked to the sparsely populated safe passage, not caring what time it was, took out her mobile phone and dialed a person's number.

At two o'clock in the morning, the other party picked up the call very quickly, and he couldn't hear the slightest ambiguity or sleepiness, but there was indeed a hustle and bustle over there, and he probably was in a dark place: "What's the matter?"

Yao Linxia didn't care about anything, and cursed: "Ji Xuanyi, did you do something to Jiajia? You old bastard, you want to play with women, and there are a lot of people waiting for you outside." Come on, why are you messing with my roommate?"

Ji Xuanyi is playing cards with several business partners in a high-end club.

There was a slight hesitation in the hand he drew the cards, and he asked directly: "What's wrong with her?"

Yao Linxia: "I have a high fever of 38.7 degrees. If it burns out, I can't spare you."

Ji Xuanyi frowned lightly: "Where are you?" Probably not still in the dormitory.

"none of your business."

Yao Linxia was just angry and wanted to curse others to relieve his anger, so he choked up the phone after venting.

She would not tell him Su Jia's whereabouts.

Ji Xuanyi looked at the phone that was hung up, and randomly played a card that he had just picked up.

He was lucky tonight, and without any accidents, he won a lot of money in this game.

But something unexpected happened, once this card was played, the wind changed.

The three people at the same table stared at the card and looked at each other.

The man sitting next to Ji Xuanyi laughed and said, "Which peach blossom has Mr. Ji offended again? It's so hot."

The voice of the woman on the other end of the phone was high-pitched, and the content could not be heard clearly, but the tone of the rampage was still clear.

Ji Xuanyi contacted Special Assistant Zhang on the phone, and replied after a few words: "It's not my peach blossom, it's the one from Zhou Yuan's family."

He slowly played out the second card, "But it did provoke one."

"Yo, who is so capable?"

"Is there any woman who dares to get angry with Mr. Ji?"

"It's not far from being dumped."

Ji Xuanyi turned a deaf ear to it, playing a few random cards one after another completely ruined the game.

Special assistant Zhang quickly replied, he was silent, and raised his hand to summon a seductive woman who was serving beside him, and asked her to continue beating.

Other bosses: "Let's go now?"

"It's not enough to win yet."

Ji Xuanyi offered a toast to everyone, and explained loosely: "Go and make amends."

"President Ji will make amends?"

"If I remember correctly, the dancer just lost his temper and asked you to say sweet words to apologize and coax her, but you kicked her away."

Ji Xuanyi laughed it off, and said in a frivolous tone, "Who hasn't had the first time yet."

Ji Xuanyi rushed to the city hospital that the special assistant had inquired about. Yao Linxia had sent Mingli and Shu Xinjing back to school, and she guarded Su Jia alone.

Anyway, she was going to stay up all night when she went back to the dormitory, so she might as well stay up in the hospital.

Yao Linxia was a bit surprised to see Ji Xuanyi, but he was immediately enraged.

She glared at him angrily, and blocked the door of the ward with her hands crossed over her chest, as if she would not let him in.

Ji Xuanyi took a step forward, and scanned the inside through the square glass of the door.

The little girl on the hospital bed was pale and was on a drip, but she slept soundly.

Ji Xuanyi disdained to be tough with Yao Lin, she went crazy and could make the whole building unsafe.

Yao Lin cast a sidelong glance at him, saw him go to the chair next to him and sit down, but didn't make a sound.

It was okay for Yao Linxia to say "I can't spare you" angrily, but it was impossible to really do anything to him.

The second young master of the Ji family has a notorious reputation, even her father would not dare to easily offend her.

Yao Lin went down to the ward, and while paying attention to Su Jia's infusion situation, he played games silently.

In the second half of the night, Su Jia slept a little more comfortably. When she woke up the next day, she regained her consciousness and found herself in the hospital.

Surrounded by the hospital bed, Mingli and Shu Xinjing were probing their heads.

"Jiajia, are you awake?" Mingli touched her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't have a fever anymore."

Shu Xinjing pointed to the thermos bucket on the bedside table: "We packed porridge in the cafeteria, do you want to drink some?"

Su Jia lost her appetite, shook her head, and asked, "Have you been here all this time?"

Mingli: "No, we just came. It was Yao Yao last night. Let's take her back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep."

Su Jia: "I'm sorry to bother you."

"What's the trouble, we're roommates who share the same dormitory with Wannianxiu." Mingli smiled sweetly.

She and Shu Xinjing looked at each other, touched each other's arms, faltered, and neither of them spoke.

Su Jia noticed something tricky and asked, "What's wrong?"

They seem to be particularly entangled, should they inform her.

In the end, Mingli bent down and approached her, and said in a low voice, "Yao Yao told us not to tell you that that handsome guy stayed here for a long time yesterday."

Su Jia burned most of the night, part of her brain hadn't recovered yet, and it took two seconds to realize who the roommate was referring to.

Her eyelashes trembled and she asked, "Is he still there?"

"Outside." Shu Xinjing also spoke softly, as if Yao Linxia had a smooth ear and could hear it no matter how far away.

Su Jia's eyes flicked to the closed door, and she pondered for a while: "Call him in."
