It's still evening.
Standing at the door of Xia Shiyu's house, Jiang Chen was about to press the doorbell, but suddenly he froze in embarrassment for a moment.
It seems like every time I come here it's night...
Shaking his head and putting the strange thoughts behind him, Jiang Chen reached out and pressed the doorbell.
However, after waiting for a while, no one came to open the door.
The light is on, should you be at home? Do you think it's too annoying for me to come every night
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. He really didn't do this on purpose, but the timing was perfect every time. After spending some time with Sun Jiao and Yao Yao in the afternoon, Jiang Chen rushed back to the present world immediately after having dinner with them, and rushed to Xia Shiyu's home with a USB flash drive.
Because the office is still being renovated and the only employee currently is Xia Shiyu, the general manager, she is currently working from home.
After hesitating at the door for a moment, Jiang Chen scratched his head. He came here, but it was not his character to return empty-handed. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone.
"Call Xia Shiyu."
"Okay, Master." The call came out as soon as the voice fell.
It didn't take long for Jiang Chen to get used to this smart little guy, who could complete any operation on his phone just by talking.
The ringing sounded for about 20 seconds, and the call was finally connected.
"Hello?" A weak and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Are you okay? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your voice?" Jiang Chen frowned and asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing, cough--, maybe I'm a little tired. Well, sorry... I fell asleep just now, so maybe I didn't see the phone call." Xia Shiyu said vaguely, stroking her hot forehead.
"I'm right outside. Open the door for me quickly and I'll take you to the hospital." Jiang Chen said without any doubt.
"Why are you coming at night again?" Xia Shiyu's weak voice was filled with confusion and vigilance.
"Of course there is something... I'm putting it aside in advance. I'm very worried about your situation. Open the door for me quickly and don't ask!" Jiang Chen said anxiously.
It would be troublesome if you fainted inside.
After a while, there was a slow sound from behind the door, followed by the friction sound of the handle turning. However, Jiang Chen was shocked when he saw Xia Shiyu. At this moment, her pale face lost all the charm of the strong woman, and her whole figure looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"What's wrong with you!" Jiang Chen quickly supported Xia Shiyu who was almost falling down.
I haven't seen you for a day, why are you so sick
Xia Shiyu bit her lip lightly and glanced at Jiang Chen's hand holding her with a complicated expression. Originally, she didn't want to open the door, and her current state was almost "undefended." If Jiang Chen wanted to do something evil, she had no choice at all.
However, what she didn't consider was that if he really wanted to do something evil, it would be useless no matter how good she was.
Perhaps it was impulsiveness and inexplicable emotions that overcame her sense of self-protection, prompting her to open the door. The moment she saw Jiang Chen's face, she suddenly felt at ease for some reason.
"Fuck, it's so hot!" Jiang Chen reached out and touched her forehead. The high temperature shocked him, "No, there must be something wrong with your condition! I'll take you to see a doctor."
"It's too late. I'll just take some medicine and take a nap..." Although she hated vulgar words, she no longer had the energy to complain.
"No! Listen to me." Jiang Chen refused her proposal without explanation. Then under her surprised gaze, he picked her up and carried her downstairs like a princess.
Xia Shiyu bit her lower lip lightly, feeling the warmth surrounding her side, and looked to the side with some reluctance. She thought she would resist, but strangely, the first reaction in her mind was peace of mind
Perhaps she didn't even realize that in her subconscious, she did not reject this tough move. The mask that repels people thousands of miles away is just a poor protective color. The moment Jiang Chen forcefully picked her up, instead of causing her to reject him, it actually made her feel as panicked as a deer bumping into each other.
In other words, is it a sense of security
This strange feeling comes again...
Xia Shiyu closed her eyes unwillingly.

Jiang Chen carried Xia Shiyu downstairs, ignoring the curious or suspicious looks of the people around him, opened the car door, helped Xia Shiyu sit in the passenger seat, and pulled up the seat belt for her, and then sat down himself In the driver's seat.
"Did you buy a new car?" Xia Shiyu leaned weakly on the driver's seat, her chest rising and falling slightly.
"Maybach S600, given as a gift when buying a house." Jiang Chen replied casually, and then started the car.
"..." What kind of house will you get a million-dollar luxury car as a gift? Although Xia Shiyu was a little curious, she didn't have the energy to ask.
"Really, didn't I say you'd call me if anything happened? You're already so sick." Jiang Chen said while turning the steering wheel.
"This minor illness can be dealt with by taking medicine, so why make such a fuss." Although her tone was nonchalant, she was surrounded by a warm feeling in her heart at this moment.
"Haha, you're calling this a minor illness, and you've already fainted! You live alone, and there's no one to take care of you. I think if I hadn't happened to come here for something today, I'm afraid you'd have fainted and died without anyone in the apartment. If you find out, someone will come and collect your body after it stinks." Jiang Chen said viciously.
[Aren’t you here?] Xia Shiyu pouted slightly, but was immediately stunned. She was startled by her girlish behavior.
It seems that I am really confused...
Xia Shiyu stretched out her hand tiredly and touched her hot forehead.
The scenery outside the car window flew by, and the two fell into a brief silence. Although he got the new car not long ago, Jiang Chen is very familiar with driving it. Perhaps this has something to do with his 29% reflex nerve. However, because we are in an urban area, the car cannot drive very fast based on the road conditions in Wanghai City.
"I fell ill...does it have anything to do with you?" After a long time, Xia Shiyu said suddenly for some reason.
"Nonsense, of course it does matter." If you fall ill, who will do the work
Jiang Chenke has always pursued a leadership doctrine with the hands-off shopkeeper as the core. If she fell ill, how could he not be anxious
Of course, there might be other factors involved, but he just didn't discover it himself.
However, after hearing this, Xia Shiyu made a different misunderstanding and fell into silence.
Perhaps because of the high fever, her cheeks were unnaturally red.
The car quickly drove to the largest hospital nearby. After Jiang Chen parked the car in the parking space, he immediately opened the door and helped Xia Shiyu unbuckle her seat belt. But just when he was about to pick up Xia Shiyu in the same posture, she stopped him.
"I can walk by myself... without your help. That would be too embarrassing." Xia Shiyu's last few words were almost as weak as being squeezed out from between her teeth. The iceberg face that was always as cold as frost was now covered in blood red. Jiang Chen, who had never seen such a sight before, couldn't help but be stunned.
Being stared at by Jiang Chen's "fiery" gaze, Xia Shiyu only felt a sense of "humiliation" and an inexplicable sense of pride? After giving Jiang Chen a hard look, Xia Shiyu bit her lips and walked towards the hospital entrance with a somewhat dizzy pace.
However, he couldn't trust her "ethereal" pace. He was afraid that if she kept going like this, she would fall out of trouble at the door of the hospital before he could see what was wrong.
With a wry smile, Jiang Chen walked to her side and supported the stubborn girl.
Although a little shy, Xia Shiyu seemed to be aware of her current situation, so she did not stop Jiang Chen from holding her hand. She just lowered her head, hiding her unnatural expression under her bun, and walked in with him. In the hospital.
When the nurse on duty in the hospital saw Xia Shiyu's condition, she immediately stepped forward to help. After Jiang Chen handed Xia Shiyu to the nurse sister, he went to the front desk to complete the relevant procedures. Next, it depends on how the doctor makes a diagnosis. As a medical layman, there is nothing he can do.
To be honest, Xia Shiyu's condition worried him a lot. It was not like a normal cold or fever. Was it because all the work was placed on her shoulders that she became sick from overwork? Regarding this, Jiang Chen somewhat blamed himself.
Especially when she thought about the time when she bought the house, she seemed to be feeling a little unwell. However, he did not take her to the hospital immediately. Instead, he played...
Is it time to be more restrained in the future
Putting his arms on his knees, he lost himself in thought.
Although I am worried, there is nothing wrong with just waiting. After sitting on the hospital chair and being bored for a moment, Jiang Chen sighed, took out his phone and started playing.
He opened WeChat and looked at it. That girl Liu Yao seemed to have sent him a message again. Jiang Chen was happy to chat with this lively and cheerful third-tier actress. If there was nothing wrong, he wouldn't mind "making an appointment", but he was too busy recently, so he politely declined the somewhat straightforward temptation.
Of course, he promised that this chick would still be filmed in her movie, since he was not short of money anyway.
But seriously, this chick is kind of fun to talk to. The feelings of self-blame and worry in his heart were quickly diluted. A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips, and he poked the screen with his finger. Time passed unknowingly.
"Hello sir, are you Ms. Xia Shiyu's husband?" A doctor opened the door and walked to Jiang Chen's side.
"No, I'm her... uh, friend." Jiang Chen put away his phone and stood up.
"That's right, Ms. Xia Shiyu just has a common cold and a fever. However, her condition is now a bit serious because she delayed it too late. I suggest you go to the front desk to go through the hospitalization procedures now." The doctor said succinctly, and then handed over the receipt. In Jiang Chen's arms, he then motioned Jiang Chen to pay at the designated window, and then called the nurse to give the patient an IV.
The doctor's casual attitude made Jiang Chen frown, but he didn't say anything and walked to the front desk with the receipt in his hand to complete the procedures. The total medical expenses were about a thousand yuan. Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. This disease is really not something that ordinary people can afford. If you have a major or minor illness, you will be hospitalized, and the most expensive drip will be given to you. Do you have any opinions? Then you still don’t want to see a doctor? Anyway, there are many people in China, and if you don’t see a doctor, someone will.
It has to be said that in fact, compared to housing, medical care and education are more rigid needs. If we really want to treat this kind of welfare as an industry, I'm afraid it will be even more profitable than real estate.
Of course, this amount of money was just a fraction of Jiang Chen's current assets, so he naturally didn't feel anything when he swiped the card.
Then, Jiang Chen came to the ward, casually moved a chair from one side, and sat next to Xia Shiyu's bed.
"... I'm really sorry to trouble you." Xia Shiyu closed her eyes slightly and squeezed out these words from the gap between her lips.
It can be seen that she must be feeling very uncomfortable right now.
"You're welcome. It's the chairman's duty to be considerate to his subordinates." Jiang Chen waved his hand and said with concern, "Are you hungry? Just tell me what you want to eat."
"Are you considerate of your subordinates?" However, Xia Shiyu did not answer Jiang Chen and just murmured to herself.
"This is the first time I see a confused expression on your face." Jiang Chen suddenly smiled and teased.
After Xia Shiyu was silent for a moment, she suddenly said, "It's just that you haven't seen it."
"Oh? Speaking of which, sometimes I'm curious, why do you have to have a cold face even though you are so beautiful?" Jiang Chen said.
"...I'm sleepy." Xia Shiyu closed her eyes completely and ignored his question.
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, then shrugged as if giving up. Seeing Xia Shiyu's breathing gradually calming down, Jiang Chen glanced at the drip hanging above, then sighed, covered Xia Shiyu with a quilt, and walked out of the ward.
It seemed like there was no going back today. This girl didn't look reassuring when she was alone.
With this in mind, Jiang Chen took out his cell phone and dialed Aisha's number. Not long after returning to China, he gave Ayesha a mobile phone to facilitate contact.
"I have something to do tonight and I won't be able to come back. Can you take care of yourself if you are alone?"
"Well, just do your business, I'm fine."
The gentle reply came from the other end of the phone, which made Jiang Chen feel warm in his heart.
Although that half-grown girl always has a colder expression than that girl Xia Shiyu when she is outside. But whenever he faced Jiang Chen, he always looked more docile than a sheep.
Just like a wolfdog... Well, it seems inappropriate to use it to describe a girl.
"Good night." Jiang Chen replied casually.
"Yes. Good night." A jerky pronunciation came from the other end of the phone. Jiang Chen couldn't help but be startled, and then showed a knowing smile.
It's actually in Chinese. It seems like this little girl's Mandarin has improved a bit. I really look forward to the day when I can communicate with her in Chinese. It always feels a little weird to still talk in English in China.
After making the call, Jiang Chen stretched himself. Xia Shiyu has already gone to bed. She just needs to remind the nurse to change the dressing later.
Anyway, let’s make a cup of coffee first.
Jiang Chen made up his mind and walked towards the rest area of the hospital.
