Where the milk powder came from, Su Yuncheng didn’t explain, so Lin Nianhe didn’t ask further.
Sipping the milk little by little, the warm sweetness filled her stomach, making her break into slight sweat, feeling much more relaxed.
Su Yuncheng watched her drink the milk like a little cat, gentleness filling his deep eyes.
Lin Nianhe couldn’t finish half of it and felt uneasy to let Su Yuncheng drink what she left, so she forced herself to continue.
A gulp of milk stayed in her mouth, unable to swallow for quite a while.
Seeing this, Su Yuncheng chuckled and reached out his hand to her: “If you can’t drink it, put it down.
Don’t force yourself.”
Lin Nianhe’s cheeks reddened slightly as she handed back the enamel mug to him.
Su Yuncheng sealed the mug and turned to her: “Lie down for a bit longer?”
Perhaps due to the warm milk, Lin Nianhe really felt sleepy.
She wriggled back down to lie, wanting to say some more, but her eyelids were so heavy they closed on their own.
Su Yuncheng’s averted gaze finally landed on her face.
He tucked her in, his hand lingering by her cheek for a moment, brushing the stray hair beside her cheek to one side.
The night passed without conversation.
When Lin Nianhe woke up again, it was already bright daylight.
The gloominess of yesterday had dissipated, the sky was a cloudless azure blue, a rare good weather.
The hospital room was also glaringly bright, Lin Nianhe raised her hand to shield her eyes, her mind still in a haze.
“Awake?”
Wang Hong’s voice came from beside the bed, laced with a hint of cheer.
“Hmm…” Rubbing her eyes and letting them adjust to the light, Lin Nianhe lowered her hand, “Aunt Wang, thank you for all the trouble, I appreciate it.”
She smiled at Wang Hong and unconsciously glanced at the other side of the bed.
“Comrade Xiao Su has gone to buy breakfast,” Wang Hong seemed to see through her thoughts and directly said, “How do you feel?
Any discomforts?”
Lin Nianhe propped herself up to sit and moved her stiff limbs a bit before saying, “Much better, I should be okay now.”
Wang Hong felt her forehead and nodded: “Yes, the fever has subsided.”
She sighed in relief then playfully tapped Lin Nianhe’s head: “Silly girl, you nearly scared us to death yesterday!
Got so delirious with fever… thank goodness for the bicycle in our team, or else wouldn’t you have gotten even more confused?”
As she spoke, Wang Hong handed Lin Nianhe a cup of water: “Drink some, drink lots of hot water, you’ll recover faster.”
Lin Nianhe thanked her and took a big gulp of water.
She asked: “Aunt Wang, how’s Sister Shumei’s foot?”
“It’s just a sprain, she’ll be fine after some rest,” Wang Hong replied casually.
In the villagers’ view, a sprain or a fever wasn’t a serious illness.
If it wasn’t for Li Dahe finding Lin Nianhe unresponsive yesterday, they really wouldn’t have sent her to the hospital.
Hearing Wang Shumei was okay, Lin Nianhe finally felt at ease, then asked: “How did I get down the mountain yesterday?”
“Ho, you’d never guess, it was Wen Lan who carried you down,” said Wang Hong excitedly, “When we found the three of you, Miss Wen was carrying you and helping Miss Wang.
She managed not to let either of you fall!”
Lin Nianhe was astonished.
Did she speak too loudly to Sister Lan before?
Seemingly to prevent Lin Nianhe from feeling bored, Wang Hong continued to tell her about finding the roe deer family on the mountain.
Lin Nianhe gave appropriate expressions of surprise and admiration, but her gaze couldn’t help wandering towards the door again.
Wang Hong saw Lin Nianhe’s preoccupied look and chuckled.
She said, “Speaking of which, Comrade Xiao Su is also quite something.
Last night, late into the night when I woke up, he was still watching over you.
He wouldn’t agree to sleep for a bit when I offered, saying he’s used to it, that not sleeping a night doesn’t matter much…
Hey, Miss Lin, what did Comrade Xiao Su do before?”
Before Lin Nianhe could answer, Su Yuncheng appeared at the door.
He was holding two lunch boxes and also carrying a full cloth bag.
“Director Wang, have some breakfast.”
Su Yuncheng returned to the bedside, handed a lunch box to Wang Hong, and then took out an oil-paper wrapped package from the cloth bag.
Wang Hong opened it to find congee made from two kinds of rice, and two large meat buns wrapped in oil paper.
She hurriedly said, “I can’t eat all this, just a sip of porridge will do.”
“It’s our duty to treat you to a meal for taking the trouble to bring Nianhe to the hospital.
If you refuse even breakfast, how could we have peace of mind?”
Su Yuncheng said it so thoroughly and nicely that Aunt Wang wanted to match-make him right there and then.
Aunt Wang laughed and agreed, but in the end, she only ate one bun.
Lin Nianhe saw that he only brought two lunch boxes and asked, “What about yours?”
“I’ve eaten already.
You eat.”
Lin Nianhe was still not fully recovered, she managed to eat half a bowl of porridge and a meat bun but absolutely couldn’t eat any more.
She pursed her lips, intending to say she would wait until lunch to eat more, but Su Yuncheng took the lunch box from her hands and quickly finished the remaining porridge.
Lin Nianhe’s cheeks began to redden at his naturally flowing actions.
“Th-those were my leftovers,” she said softly.
“Uh-huh.” Su Yuncheng responded with unusual equanimity.
Lin Nianhe blinked.
Was he…
just not wanting to waste food?
Wang Hong smiled with pursed lips, her gaze towards the two held deep meaning.
These two kids are quite interesting, one is clueless, the other won’t say it outright.
She clicked her tongue; she wondered just when Comrade Xiao Su would make a move!
After cleaning up the lunch boxes, Su Yuncheng planned to find a doctor to check on Lin Nianhe again, when Feng Wei’s voice came from outside the ward door:
“Brother Cheng, could you come out for a moment?”
Su Yuncheng glanced at him, then turned to Lin Nianhe and Wang Hong, “Wait for me for a bit, I’ll be right back.”
“Alright, no rush.” ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Not long after Su Yuncheng left, a doctor arrived.
Not the male doctor from last night; Lin Nianhe had never seen this one.
She hadn’t seen Zhou Fenyang before, but Zhou Fenyang was very familiar with Lin Nianhe.
Wearing a white coat, she walked up to Lin Nianhe’s bedside, handed her a thermometer, and said coldly, “Take your temperature.”
“Thank you,” Lin Nianhe took the thermometer with her usual politeness.
Wang Hong, fearing she didn’t have the strength to hold the thermometer properly, even reached out to help support her shoulder.
Zhou Fenyang examined Lin Nianhe with tightly furrowed brows.
She had been off yesterday and had heard from colleagues about Su Yuncheng running around for a little Miss last night, even staying the whole night.
Looking at the medical record, indeed, it was Lin Nianhe.
Zhou Fenyang didn’t hesitate to take up the task, wanting to see for herself what this Miss looked like.
What she saw was a disappointment to her.
The girl seemed frail and delicate, an image of vulnerability.
What good was this delicate doll in the countryside?
She probably came all this way just to cling to Su Yuncheng and live off him!
With these thoughts, Zhou Fenyang nearly rolled her eyes to the heavens.
Lin Nianhe was much clearer now and sensed the doctor’s hostility, furrowing her brow slightly.
“Comrade, do I have some terminal illness?” Lin Nianhe looked up at Zhou Fenyang.
Coming to her senses, Zhou Fenyang curled her lip: “You just have a fever, it’s not a serious illness.”
Lin Nianhe: “If that’s the case, could you stop looking at me like I’m a dead person?
It’s quite frightening.”
Zhou Fenyang, initially thinking that Lin Nianhe was a soft persimmon because of her delicate appearance, did not expect her to be so sharp-tongued.
Zhou Fenyang sneered, “Why do you care so much?
Do I need your permission to look at you?”
Faced with her provocative attitude, Lin Nianhe, who was still feeling weak, suddenly felt energized.
