Obviously, he did not expect Zuo Yue to appear here. Xu Chengfengâs gaze lingered on her face for a long time. Although he was surprised, it was only for a moment. His gaze was still as calm as before.
A moment later, he acted as if there was no one else in the room. He got up and bent down to pick up the glass fragments by the bed.
Zuo Yue saw his actions and walked over quickly. She threw the bag in her hand aside and bent down to pick up the pieces. At the same time, she raised her other hand to stop his hand. She lowered her head and squatted by the bed.âIâll do it.â
Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and watched her carefully picking up the fragments. Zuo Yue no longer looked as impatient as she was three years ago. She would not easily cut her fingers again. He looked at her for a moment and moved his hand away. He did not argue with her too much about the fragments, but he only stood up and took a step back. He stood up straight and did not lie down on the bed.
Zuo Yue quickly picked up all the debris on the floor. Then, she searched for the bathroom in her memory and found a mop to dry the water on the floor. After she was done with everything, she returned to the bedroom and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting by the bed. When she walked back to the bedroom, he looked at her.
Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and glanced at him. She asked directly,ââHave you taken your medicine? How long had it been burning? Whatâs the temperature now?â
âHow do you know about me?â Xu Chengfeng did not answer but asked a question instead. His voice was so clear that no one could discern any unnecessary emotions.
Zuo Yue faintly hooked her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.ââHow did I know? Mr. Xu should be able to guess it easily. But Iâm already here, so we donât have to talk too much. If you havenât taken your medicine yet, Iâll go buy it now and make you something to eat.â
After saying that, Zuo Yue did not look at him anymore. She turned around and went to find the medicine box. She searched inside and found that it was filled with the medicine from back then, but it had basically expired.
Both of them had not come back in the past few years. If it was not for Ainte saying that Xu Chengfeng had been staying here recently, she would not have stepped into this place again.
Looking at the expired medicine, Zuo Yue poured everything out without saying a word. Then, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge. She put the rice and water in according to the ratio and pressed the switch before she turned around and went out.
She was very familiar with the locations of the few drugstores near the villa. Even though three years had passed, most of the drugstores had not changed their locations. She went to buy some essential medicine, then bought some fever medicine. After thinking about it, she bought some gauze and band-aids.
Although she was no longer a student at the medical university, she had not forgotten these simple bandaging techniques. Moreover, with Xu Chengfengâs status and background, there was nothing wrong with keeping some things to stop bleeding at home.
When she returned to the villa, it was no longer as dark as before. Before she left the house, she had deliberately turned off the lights so that Xu Chengfeng could rest for a while. However, at this moment, all the lights were on, as if she had returned to three years ago.
She liked it when every corner of her house was brightly lit. There was not a single dark corner, so almost all the lights here were lit.
After entering the room, she placed the shopping bags in her hands on the table beside her. Just as she was about to change her shoes, she suddenly paused. Zuo Yue looked up and saw that Xu Chengfeng had gotten out of bed at some point. He was at the dining table in the living room, pouring warm water from the glass jug into a glass.
People who had a fever for a long time were indeed thirsty. She had come in a hurry and only remembered to help him pick up the fragments, find medicine, and make some food. She had forgotten to pour water for him. Moreover, she had been out for so long, and he only came out to drink water. It was obvious that it was very difficult for him to walk.
âThe water in the glass pot should be getting cold. I felt that it wasnât very warm. Iâll go boil some water.âAs she spoke, she walked over quickly and took the medicine to the table.âCome, let me take your temperature first.â
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. His gaze was not the same as it was a few days ago. It was as if she was just someone who was called to take care of him at the last minute. It was not easy to chase her away, but he could not get too close to her either.
Zuo Yue stuck the electronic thermometer on his forehead. Xu Chengfeng could not dodge in time, so Zuo Yue had already measured the temperature. The result showed that it was 39.7 degrees.
âYouâve been maintaining such a high degree of alcohol and lying alone at home? Arenât you afraid of getting pneumonias?â Zuo Yueâs previously expressionless face finally showed some changes. She stared at his silent and dark eyes with anger.âI got pneumonias because of my high fever. Itâs not like you donât know how much I suffered at that time. Do you want to repeat my mistake? Or what do you want?â
As she spoke, she quickly opened a box of fever medicine, took out two pills, and put them by his mouth. Then, she picked up the glass beside his hand.âThen, take the fever medicine first and drink this water. Iâll go boil water after you take the medicine.â
Xu Chengfeng glanced at the two pills in her hand.
There were two white pills in her fair hands.
âEat. Youâre already so old, you shouldnât need someone to feed you.âZuo Yue grumbled unhappily as she brought the pill closer to his mouth. Her palm was so close to his lips, but she stared at him as if she did not feel anything.âQuickly take your medicine.â
However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand and picked up the pill in her palm. After Zuo Yue moved her hand away, he took the pill and put it into his mouth. Then, he took the cup and drank the medicine.
Although he was usually stubborn, he was at least obedient in front of her after he fell sick. The inexplicable anger in Zuo Yueâs heart was reduced by a lot. She opened the bag beside her again.âThese are all the new medicines I bought. The medicines in the first aid box have expired, so I threw them all away. These are all new, and the shortest time they expire is more than a year later.â
After saying that, she heard the sound of the rice cooker in the kitchen.âThe porridge is ready. Iâll get some for you.â
Zuo Yue turned around and was about to leave after she finished speaking. She had just walked quickly behind Xu Chengfeng when her wrist was suddenly tightened by a large, hot palm.
Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She did not turn around and tried to pull her hand out. At this moment, the strength in the manâs hand, which was originally weak, surprised her.
Just as she was about to turn around and ask him to let go, Xu Chengfeng had already turned his head to look at her indifferently. His voice drifted into her ears.
âDoesnât that mean that we have nothing to do with each other from now on? Why did you come here?
