Chapter 426 - Have a High Fever

Chapter 426 Have a High Fever“Why are you looking for me?” Xia Yu asked.

“Sign your name here!” Kang Lan said while opening her bag and taking out a photo of Xia Yu from it. Then she handed over the photo to Xia Yu. Suddenly, she moved her head close to Xia Yu and said to her ear, “Write the word ‘bitch ‘ on it. You only deserve the word. Then I will copy tens of thousands of it and give out, to let everyone know how nasty you are! You bitch ! Wenxuan is arrested because of you. You’re cursed and will get the retribution sooner or later!”

When she said so, Kang Lan took a plate of sauce, trying to pour it onto Xia Yu.

It came so suddenly that Xia Yu could only choose to close her eyes when Kang Lan took the plate of sauce and was about to pour it onto her. However, things weren’t as worse as she expected.

“Let me go! Help! Someone’s molesting me!”

Kang Lan’s hand was caught by Shen Yan. When she struggled, the sauce was spilled all over their hands.

Shen Yan looked gloomy. He squinted his cold eyes quietly, with a flash of cruelty slipping through his eyes. “There is more than one camera in the restaurant. I can accuse you of defaming according to what you said just now. Now, you can choose to apologize to her and piss off or let me send you to the police station.”

A trace of panic and scary appeared in Kang Lan’s eyes. She looked pale, but she bit her lip and raised up her chin. Then she said, “I won’t apologize. She’s a bitch . She set Wenxuan up. You two now are happy together, but he is in prison. Purr…”

Kang Lan cried her heart out when she almost finished her words.

“Let her go.” Xia Yu said to Shen Yan. There was only Chen Wenxuan in this woman’s world. There was no need to talk to her.

Shen Yan released Kang Lan’s wrist. Then Kang Lan turned around and left while crying.

He took out his wallet and put several hundred yuan on the table. He then drew Xia Yu up from her seat and took her away from the hotpot restaurant.

Kang Lan spoiled their happy dinner. She mentioned Chen Wenxuan just now, which reminded Xia Yu of Bao Na and that innocent young man who was dead. He was a hooligan indeed, but the police told her that he didn’t commit serious crimes, except for having a fight several times. That day, he agreed with Kang Lan to be her bodyguard for a few hours because he wanted to earn some money to pay for a concert. Unfortunately, he lost his life.

What was more, at that restaurant in J city, just because Chen Wenxuan said Xia Yu was his girlfriend, the whole restaurant was set fire, and such a large restaurant was burnt into ruins that day, which also caused so many casualties.

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the more anxious she became. She reached out to scratch her hair because she really felt choked by these bad things.

“Xia Yu, don’t do that!” Shen Yan held her face with his hands, trying to comfort her.

Xia Yu pushed his hands away and said, “Could you please leave me alone? I want to stay alone.” After saying that, she untied her seat belt. Then she opened the car door and got out of the car. She hung out like a ghost on the road while Shen Yan followed Xia Yu by keeping a distance of several meters.

He followed her quietly without saying a word.

When the cold rain dropped on her face, her mind gradually became sober. Xia Yu turned to look back, only to find that Shen Yan was still there. His face was a little pale. In fact, he couldn’t stand in the rain as he got injuries on him.

Xia Yu drew him to a convenient-store nearby. As soon as she walked inside, “Atishoo, atishoo…”

She sneezed twice in succession. Immediately, Shen Yan reached out his hand to feel the temperature of her forehead.

“I will buy some medicine for you. Stay here and don’t go out.” He said to Xia Yu while wiping off the rain on her face with his hand.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier outside, Xia Yu felt that it was useless to use an umbrella to shield from the rain.

Xia Yu shook her head and said, “No need. I don’t have a fever. I only sneezed twice. I’ll get better after taking a hot bath at night.” However, she sneezed again after she finished her words.

Shen Yan unbuttoned his coat and wrapped Xia Yu against his chest.

There were quite a lot of people in the store who cast a look at them, so Xia Yu wanted to push Shen Yan away after reaching out. But the man held her very tightly. Xia Yu had no other choice but to stare at him and then to bury her head into his chest.

About ten minutes later, as Xia Yu got warm, he then released her.

Xia Yu touched her cheek. It was burning.

When the rain became weaker, they bought two umbrellas in the store.

“Eh-hem, eh-hem…”

Xia Yu covered her mouth and coughed twice. Shen Yan’s hand touched Xia Yu’s forehead again. “It’s burning. You wait here for a moment.”

After a short while, he returned with a water bottle and a box of medicine in his hands. He passed the water bottle to her and then opened the box of the medicine. “Take two pills at one time.”

Xia Yu took the pills from his hand. She put them into her mouth and swallowed them with water.

“You’ve got a fever now. Let’s go back.” Shen Yan persuaded her.

Xia Yu rubbed the place between her eyebrows and grunted assent. When she stood up, Shen Yan took her bag at once and left with her.

Perhaps because of the effect of the pills, she fell asleep soon after getting into the car. When she woke up, she found herself lying in Shen Yan’s arms as he was just carrying her from the car.

“You’re awake!” His deep voice sounded extraordinarily sexy in her year.

“Yeah. Put me down.” Xia Yu said hurriedly. But when she looked around, she found that they were at home.

“Come in. Let me check your body temperature.” Xia Yu was pulled into the room by him and then sat on the sofa obediently.

“Open your mouth.”

“Ah!” As she opened her mouth, Shen Yan put the thermometer in his hand into it. He smiled with the corners of his mouth upward and caressed her hair. “Good girl!”

A few minutes later, he took out the thermometer and checked it. “Alright. It’s not too serious. Drink more hot water.” After saying that, he poured a cup of water in the kitchen and handed it over to Xia Yu. Under his supervision, she drank up two full cups of hot water.

Afterward, she changed her clothes and wore home-wear clothes which were very loose and comfortable, sitting casually on the sofa and watching an old movie.

Shen Yan stayed in the study for a while and then joined her in watching the movie after coming out. He brought a blanket to cover her legs. Actually, the sitting room was not cold because the heating was on.

“Better now?”

“Yeah, better now.” Her head now was not so befuddled as before.

“What would you like for dinner?” He leaned against her and asked gently.

The two people were starving because their meal before was spoiled by Kang Lan. Since Aunt Ma fell asleep, Shen Yan didn’t want to wake her up. Instead, he wanted to cook by himself.

Xia Yu pondered for a while but couldn’t think of anything she wanted to eat particularly. So, she answered, “Everything is OK to me.”

Shen Yan pinched her nose and said with a smile, “Then no eating casually. Let me decide for you.”

Xia Yu was fine with this intimate and caring behavior because they did something more intimate before. This was nothing particular.

It was strange that though they weren’t in a relationship for too long, their intimacy surpassed that between her and Chen Wenxuan when she had been with Chen Wenxuan for five years.

But what made her feel ridiculous was that all of his women regarded her as an eyesore. Were there any words on her face showing that she was timid?

“Why do you wear such a pitiable look suddenly?” Shen Yan caressed Xia Yu’s eyes with his hand.

Xia Yu shook her head but didn’t say anything. She stared at the video screen again, preventing her from being bothered by those trivial things.

The next morning, Xia Yu felt better and took the pills before going to work. In the afternoon, her fever receded, but it got serious suddenly when she was sleeping, which was beyond her expectation. She felt that her body was burning, and bones ached all over. She even couldn’t raise her arms. Her head was befuddled and in a mess out of fever. She was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, so she fetched the glass. However, it dropped onto the ground accidentally. Xia Yu returned to her bed helplessly.

Shortly after, the door was opened, and someone walked to her bed, calling Xia Yu’s name. She slightly opened her eyes and saw a blurry face appear in front of her. Xia Yu blinked. She touched his face with her hands and called in a hoarse voice, “Husband, you’re back.”

Xia Yu put the other hand around his neck and held him tightly.

“Why do you have such a high fever?” Shen Yan touched her head.

However, as Xia Yu was in a daze now, she fell into a reverie before her eyes and took him in front of her as the man killed by Bao Na. “Sorry, I didn’t know she was going to kill you. Otherwise, I should have stopped her. I swear.”

The man got onto the bed. He held Xia Yu in his arms and said gently in her ear, “Don’t say sorry. It’s not your fault.”

Xia Yu kept shedding tears. She clasped his hand tightly and shook her head. She said, “No, it’s my fault. I didn’t stop her in time. It’s my fault.” Her voice got hoarser as she almost finished her words. In the end, she couldn’t say anything when she choked with sobs. She was crying her heart out in his arms.

It seemed that the girl pretended to be tough all the time. She didn’t forget the things which had happened these days at all. Instead, she put them in her heart. Shen Yan felt his heart was twinging badly as if it was stabbed by something. Xia Yu’s forehead was kissed ardently by his lips. “You’re not a god. You can’t foresee the future. Xia Yu, let it go. OK? You make me feel sorry for you. I want you to be happy every day. Don’t torture yourself anymore.”

His kiss fell on Xia Yu’s eyes and swept away her tears, with endless gentleness and caring.

He repeated his comfort in Xia Yu’s ear and said, “Don’t cry. It makes me hurt.”

He repeated while gradually releasing Xia Yu, wanting to leave the bed. However, Xia Yu clutched his hand, not letting him go, and hid herself in his arms. “Don’t leave. Don’t leave.”

“I am going to fetch some pills for you. I won’t leave. Good girl, wait a second.”

When she heard these words, she finally released his hand. Seeing that he left the room, she kept staring at the door. She wanted to get down from the bed to see whether he was still there, but as soon as she landed on the ground, her legs were flabby, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.

Soon, a figure appeared at the door. Seeing Xia Yu lying on the ground, the figure ran to her quickly and carried her to the bed.

“Did you get hurt?” He asked with concern and rolled up Xia Yu’s trousers to check.

Xia Yu shook her head and leaned her head against his chest.

“Come on! Take the pills.” He said gently and sent them to Xia Yu’s mouth.

“I feel very dizzy.”

She felt the whole world was spinning and felt more and more uncomfortable. She just took the pills. A few seconds later, she spat out them all, making a mess on their clothes.

In a daze, she felt that her clothes were taken off, and the warm towel was wiping her face and body. Later, she was wrapped in a blanket and held by a man.

The night was in a mess. She was in a daze all the time.

The next day when she woke up, she found that she was in the hospital while Shen Yan huddled up on the sofa, with a blanket on his body. He looked very tired.

He took care of Xia Yu all night with all his heart, which made her feel moved.

At this moment, the ward door was opened. A young nurse came in to help change the medicine for Xia Yu.

“You’re awake. Feel better now? Do you still feel like vomiting?” The nurse glanced at Shen Yan on the sofa, so she then lowered her voice to ask Xia Yu.

“Yeah! I feel better now. I don’t feel like vomiting anymore.” Xia Yu answered frankly in a weak and hoarse voice like a ground gravel, which was caused by her illness.

“Good. You were in a daze out of fever last night and kept crying and raving. Mr. Shen took care of you all night. He didn’t go to sleep or feel relieved until dawn.” She said while changing into another bag of liquid medicine for Xia Yu. There was a trace of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu could faintly remember that she seemed to have seen that person last night. She was in a daze and fell into a reverie out of fever at that time. She recalled that she had said many words and kept saying sorry while crying. Later, Shen Yan came over and told her that it was not her fault.
