After the doctor left, Lin Gantang poured some water for Wen Yanqing to take his medicine. Wen Yanqing swallowed the pill silently. Suddenly, Lin Gantang patted his head and said, âAh, I forgot to ask what his name is.â
Wen Yanqing tightened his grip on the cup in his hand and put it down. The cup came into contact with the coffee table and made a soft clang. âYou want to know him?â
âNo, I thought that we might meet again. It would be impolite if I canât even address the doctor by his name,â Lin Gantang said truthfully.
âThereâs no need to meet. Iâll be fine after taking a few pills.â
Lin Gantang looked at the time. It was a little late, so she said, âHave a good sleep after taking the medicine. Iâll go back first and come back tomorrow.â
Wen Yanqing leaned back on the sofa and said weakly, âOkay, you can go. Iâm a little dizzy. I donât know if Iâll still have a high fever in the middle of the night. 1 wonât send you off today.â
Lin Gantang looked at his weak appearance and couldnât bear to see him that way. âAre you dizzy?â
âYeah. It seems to be burning up again.â Wen Yanqing pulled her hand and placed it on his forehead. He closed his eyes slightly and looked haggard.
Lin Gantang felt his forehead and frowned.
Wen Yanqing was sick and he was the only one at home. No one would be around to give him a cup of water even if he had a fever in the middle of the night and wanted a drink of water.
The more Lin Gantang thought about it, the more worried she became. âThen⦠Iâm not going back. Iâll stay here with you?â
âCan you? Your family will be worried, right?â Wen Yanqing asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâll give my dad a call.â
Wen Yanqing could not hide the smile on his face when he saw her turn around to make a call.
Lin Gantang decided to stay and dialed Mr. Linâs number.
Mr. Lin energetically asked if she was back.
âYanqing is sick, so Iâm at his house. I wonât be going back tonight.â
âNot coming back?â Mr. Lin paused for a moment before saying, âWhatâs wrong with Yanqing? Has he been seen by a doctor?â
âYes; itâs just a normal fever.â
âOh.â
âThen Iâll hang up first. Dad, rest early.â
Mr. Lin thought for a moment and still had something to say, but the call had been disconnected.
Mr. Lin was speechless.
He had mixed feelingsâthe daughter that he had raised had finally run off to someone elseâs house.
He thought, âForget it. 1 should be contented. In the past, my daughter did not even say a word when she did not come home.
âTsk, thinking about it this way, after Gantang got together with Yanqing, she became much more sensible. Donât worry; itâs okay. Iâve already picked a date for them.â
Mr. Lin placed his hands behind his back and paced a few steps. He thought he should take advantage of her absence to secretly have a few glasses.
After making the call, Lin Gantang put down her phone and sat back on the sofa. She peeled an apple and handed it to Wen Yanqing. âEat some fruit. You have to drink more water if you have a fever.â
Wen Yanqing took the apple. Lin Gantang wiped the juice off her fingertips and suddenly thought of something. âOh right, I should go back. I donât even have clothes. How will 1 change later?â
âDidnât you wear mine last time?â Wen Yanqing mumbled as he bit down on the apple.
âI specially bought you clothes to leave at my house. Didnât you think of preparing some for me?â Lin Gantang asked.
He did, but he just didnât want to buy it. Wen Yanqing said, âWear mine.â
âWhat should 1 wear tomorrow when I go out?â
âThen donât go out.â
Lin Gantang felt that he was being a bit of a scoundrel, so she pressed him down and asked fiercely, âYou did it on purpose, didnât you?â
Wen Yanqing felt that her fierce glare was rather cute, so he hooked his arm around her and kissed her.
âIâm not going to argue with you.â Lin Gantang jumped off the sofa. âIâm going to take a shower.â
After saying that, she rummaged through his closet and finally chose the white shirt she had previously worn.
Just as Lin Gantang was about to go, she heard Wen Yanqingâs voice. âGo to my room to take a shower. The hot water tap in the guest room is spoiled..â
