Xu Xinghe went home and took a shower, fell asleep without blowing his head.
This time I slept until it was slightly bright.
He opened his eyes bewilderedly, and realized that something was wrong—
Sore throat, headache, body aches.
I don't need to take my temperature to know that my fever didn't go down, but it got worse.
Xu Xinghe has been in good health since he was a child, and rarely gets sick. Occasional colds and fevers are also survived by "drinking plenty of water and resting".
But this time, the panacea failed.
Xu Xinghe lay on the bed for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little K, help me make an appointment with Dr. Tom."
Little K is his smart butler system, which connects his housekeeping robots and various smart devices.
Three minutes later, Little K's notification sounded: "Doctor Tom can come to the door at 2:30 p.m. at the earliest. May I help you make an appointment?"
Xu Xinghe glanced at the time, and said weakly: "Okay, do you still have antipyretics at home? I'll take some first."
Little K: "Your fever-reducing medicine has expired for half a year. It is recommended to throw it into the harmful trash can."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Little K continued to ask intimately: "Do you need me to help you order new antipyretics online?"
Xu Xinghe sent a text message while saying: "Forget it, I asked Auntie Sophia to bring the medicine..."
Due to severe dizziness, Xu Xinghe couldn't eat anything, so he only drank a can of nutritional supplements and went back to lie down.
But the feeling of fever became more and more intense, and he even began to doubt whether he could last until Dr. Tom came.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Aunt Sophia is here so soon
Xu Xinghe was lying on the bed, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't look carefully at who was on the surveillance screen, so he directly commanded: "Please come in."
He took a deep breath, propped himself up, leaned against the head of the bed, licked his dry lips, and said to the housekeeping robot in a daze, "Little K, help me get a glass of water."
Captain Lewis personally drove a pure black military bulletproof vehicle through the 031 complex road in District 5, and arrived in front of Xu Xinghe's small courtyard.
The speeding car landed slowly, and Major General Qin Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly sighed: "Sir, although I can understand your mood at the moment, but I have just experienced such a chaotic night, I still suggest that you go to Go to the hospital and..."
"You wait for me in the car."
As soon as the speeding car landed, the person sitting in the back seat hurriedly got out of the car without leaving a word, and rang the doorbell of the villa regardless of what other people said.
The camera flashed, and then the door opened automatically.
Ling Changfeng lifted his foot and walked in.
At 9:10 in the morning, the golden artificial sunlight covered the floor through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Xu Xinghe's two-storey villa presents a simple and modern style based on white, full of artistic atmosphere, and the electronic paintings on the walls are replaced by warm colors as the guests visit.
Yi Tong looked around and saw that the potted plants in the living room were full of business and were obviously well taken care of.
It seemed that Xu Xinghe did come back often.
So what about others
"Aunt Sophia?"
Xu Xinghe's voice suddenly came from the second floor, somewhat weak and hoarse.
Ling Changfeng's eyes moved, and he walked up the stairs quickly.
As soon as I reached the second floor, I heard the sound of glass breaking coming from the room on the east side.
Xu Xinghe leaned weakly on the head of the bed, his throat felt like it was on fire, and he had a splitting headache.
He stretched out his hand to take the warm water sent by K. Unexpectedly, one of his hands trembled and he couldn't hold it firmly.
The cup fell, and he subconsciously wanted to make amends, but his body leaned forward, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell off the bed with the person and the quilt.
So when Ling Changfeng pushed the door and entered, he saw such a mess-
Half of Xu Xinghe was still wrapped in the quilt, but the whole person fell to the ground together with the quilt.
His cheeks were flushed, and by his hand was a shattered glass and a puddle of water.
The broken glass probably cut his finger, so he put his index finger in his mouth and sucked the wound.
Xu Xinghe raised his head when he heard the voice, and was almost frightened: "Why is it you? Where's Aunt Sophia?"
His voice was hoarse, and he was still panting for words.
Ling Changfeng looked at him, frowning slightly: "Are you sick?"
If Xu Xinghe's mind is still sharp now, he might notice that Ling Changfeng's voice is a little hoarse than usual.
But now he is dizzy, so he can only reply weakly: "It's okay, a little problem."
Marshal Ling stopped talking, he put his overcoat on the sofa, then turned around and walked towards Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe's heart suddenly rang out, and his eyes that were flushed with fever stared round: "Why are you here... ah!"
The moment his feet left the ground, the feeling of weightlessness made him subconsciously hook everything that could be hooked at hand—
For example, Ling Changfeng's neck.
Xu Xinghe's whole body instantly froze into a stone.
The brain shut down along with the body.
It wasn't until he was carried back to the bed by Ling Changfeng that he reacted belatedly——
Own! Actually! Being Ling Changfeng! Hug up!
Fortunately, Ling Changfeng moved quickly enough, this awkward hug only lasted a few seconds.
Xu Xinghe was put back on the bed in shock, and in his panic, he didn't notice that the moment he hooked the opponent's neck, the arm that hugged him was also stiff.
When Xu Xinghe came back to his senses, Ling Changfeng was already straightening his sleeves as if nothing had happened.
Xu Xinghe was stunned: "You, you... why did you break into a private house?"
"I rang the doorbell, and you said 'please come in'." Ling Changfeng pulled down his sleeves indiscriminately, raised his eyes and asked, "Why didn't you answer my phone?"
"You called me?"
Xu Xinghe thought slowly for two seconds with his brain down: "Uh... Are we still in each other's address book?"
Ling Changfeng looked at him, pursed his thin lips slightly, and did not answer.
Xu Xinghe felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him, and turned his head to avoid that gaze: "I set the do-not-disturb setting for calls from strangers when I was asleep, and I didn't refuse to answer them on purpose."
Ling Changfeng couldn't see any expression on his face: "You are in my address book."
Xu Xinghe: "... huh?"
He froze for two seconds, then raised his hand with difficulty: "I'll add you right now—what's the number?"
Ling Changfeng was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he changed the subject and said, "Last night, I had an accident on the way to find you. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to say hello to you... When the matter is over, your phone call Can't get through."
Mentioning this, Xu Xinghe finally remembered how Marshal Ling released his pigeons last night.
Although I didn't have any expectations for this dinner at first, but the behavior of releasing pigeons after making an appointment is too annoying!
So the little guilt just now turned into righteousness in an instant.
Xu Xinghe turned around, covered his body with a small blanket, closed his eyes with his back to Ling Changfeng, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not feeling well, let's talk about what's going on tomorrow, and walk slowly."
The room suddenly fell silent.
Ling Changfeng stood in front of the bed, pestered for a while without saying a word, then bent down to pick up the broken glass on the ground.
Then turned and left the bedroom.
gone
Xu Xinghe heard the footsteps fading away, he let out a long breath, and gradually relaxed.
Still dizzy.
He thought dazedly, he seemed to have a severe fever this time, should he go directly to the hospital later
Having said that, why did Ling Changfeng come here?
Marshal Ling hadn't served tea and water for more than ten years and cleaned up the house.
After cleaning up the glass debris on the ground, he thought about pouring a new glass of water, but he didn't know which button to press on the new version of the water purifier.
After tossing in the kitchen for a while, I returned to the bedroom on the second floor with a full water glass.
Xu Xinghe actually fell asleep again.
Ling Changfeng stood in front of the bed, looking at the back of Xu Xinghe's fluffy head, speechless for a moment.
Is this guy a little pig, so he can sleep like this
He put the water glass on the bedside table and gently lifted a corner of the quilt.
Sure enough, the glass scratched Xu Xinghe's index finger, but fortunately, there was only a shallow wound, and the bleeding had stopped.
Thinking of this, Ling Changfeng glanced at his left arm.
After confirming that there were no traces, he put down his hand.
He re-covered the quilt for him, then pressed the earphone, and said softly, "What's the matter?"
The voice of Colonel Lewis, the captain of the personal guard, came from the earphones: "Report to the Marshal! There is a lady named Sophia outside the door, who claims to be Mr. Xu's friend, and the vice president of the Seventh Welfare Institute in the capital. She was entrusted by Mr. Xu to deliver medicine , do you want to let her in?"
Ling Changfeng turned his head and looked at his little spouse who was still sleeping: "Tell her that Xu Xinghe is resting, please come back next time."
"yes!"
"Wait a minute—" One second before hanging up the communication, Marshal Ling suddenly thought of something, "The vice president of the Seventh Welfare Institute?"
Before he got married, he glanced at Xu Xinghe's profile and knew that he was raised in the Seventh Welfare Institute in the capital.
Ling Changfeng changed his mind: "Please come in."
After finishing speaking, he gently closed the bedroom door and walked down the stairs.
Sophia is sixty-eight years old this year, and she is still considered a mature man in the galaxy era when the average human life expectancy is more than two hundred years old.
Even though it was the first time she saw a big man like the Marshal of the Alliance, she didn't have stage fright. She just nodded with a smile and said, "Marshal Ling, I've known you for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Ling Changfeng nodded, came to the living room, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Sit."
Sophia asked: "Is Xinghe okay now?"
Ling Changfeng said: "He said there was nothing wrong, and he has already fallen asleep again."
Sophia looked at him in surprise, and just about to say something, Ling Changfeng asked, "How long have you been working in the Capital Orphanage?"
Sofia replied: "This year happens to be the fortieth year."
Ling Changfeng asked again: "Did Xinghe grow up in your orphanage?"
Sophia smiled and said: "Yes, he is a very special existence in our orphanage. He has been smart, kind, and strong since he was a child. Although sometimes he is so stubborn that it makes the teacher a headache, but he is really a good child in his bones. .”
Ling Changfeng nodded: "I have a question to ask, you can choose to answer or not to answer."
He used the word "ask for advice", which is considered a rare politeness.
Sophia said: "Tell me, if I know, I will try my best to answer you."
"On the day of the wedding, he told me that if he had children in the future, he wanted joint custody of the children."
Ling Changfeng raised his head and said in a deep voice, "You watched him grow up, do you know why?"
