Chapter 241 - 241: Don ‘t Cry

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was said that people were the most fragile when they were sick.

Shen Yanqing did not know what had affected Nan Ge’s mood, but he knew that Nan Ge urgently needed his comfort now.

He went forward. As his hand had just touched cold water, he specially rubbed his hands to dispel the coldness before kneeling by the bed and reaching out to hug her.

The mattress beside her sank. Nan Ge did not react and let his hand reach in from outside the blanket and hold her waist.

“Youyou, be good. You will feel better after sleeping.” He patted her back gently and spoke to her in a soft voice as if he was coaxing her to sleep.

Nan Ge obediently closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy at all.

Her mind was filled with what Su Hui had said to her during dinner.

In terms of relationships, Su Hui was definitely much better than her. She could be called a “love mentor”.

Therefore, in her opinion, Su Hui’s reminder was very important.

She also listened to everything that Su Hui said. She was probably not half as serious as she was in class. “Shen Yanqing, I really like you.’

She did not mention anything about last night. When she opened her mouth, her voice was soft and teary. Such a simple sentence hit the man’s heart hard.

After he placed his hand on her back, he paused for a moment. In the next second, he continued to gently pat her thin back, but his other hand quietly pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Your eyes will hurt when you wake up.”

He did not respond to her love with words. Although he said that children did not cry, from an angle that Nan Ge could not see, the man’s eyes were even redder than hers.

He didn’t say anything, but he knew everything.

Actually, in the car last night, the answer to Nan Ge’s casual question was on the tip of his tongue, but he did not say it in the end.

If they had gone back in time and met at a banquet two years ago, just like she said, he did not think Nan Ge would like him as much as she did now. The 17 or 18-year-old girl had a natural filter on Shen Yanqing, who she had never met before.

Later, when they met for the first time by accident, she did not know who he was. Putting aside the so-called idolization filter, she was very innocent and simply liked him.

Moreover, two years ago, his condition at that time was actually not as good as when they met later. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was better for the two of them to meet earlier so that they could develop this relationship sooner.

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, he still did not think that he was worthy of Nan Ge’s liking at that stage. Putting aside the young lady’s idolization of him, he did not think he could make Nan Ge fall for him at that time.

The filter of admiration would shatter with his hypocritical appearance at every banquet sooner or later.

At that time, he had just returned to the country and did not like to socialize. Therefore, he rejected many similar occasions. If he appeared at that stage, he would definitely not be too sincere to anyone. The young lady might get hurt by him at that time.

Time was a good thing. Less than two years was enough for him to settle down.

When they met after that, her admiration of him had faded a lot. She no longer had the inexplicable urges she had when she was 17 or 18 years old. In fact, because of the torturous studying she had to do, she had once thought that he was not a good person and was filled with resentment toward him.

However, it was this contrast that attracted her to keep approaching him.

Therefore, from his point of view, it was not a bad thing to meet two years later.

The right person would always appear at the right time.

Ever since that day, Nan Ge had directly classified the word “old man” as illegal.

She would not mention it, nor would she allow Nan Zhe to call Shen Yanqing that in private.

Even though she knew that they were just teasing unintentionally.

That day, Nan Zhe received a call from Nan Ge. After hearing her words, he only felt that she was inexplicable.

He did not agree, thinking that she was being unreasonable. However, Nan Ge reasoned with him righteously and said that if she heard him call Shen Yanqing that next time, she would definitely beat him up.

“Are you crazy?” Nan Zhe was so angry that he directly cursed her ancestors.

He felt that Nan Ge was not married yet, but she was already helping outsiders. She did not take him seriously at all.

Perhaps because Nan Zhe had cursed her intensely, Nan Ge had a fever that night.

Fortunately, Shen Yanqing liked to hug her to sleep. When he realized that her body was a little hot, he immediately took it seriously.

He woke Assistant Yuan overnight-

After borrowing the infrared thermometer from the hotel, he realized that Nan Ge had a high fever that was almost 40 degrees Celsius.

Shen Yanqing gave up on feeding her medicine and put on her clothes, planning to take her to the hospital.

However, when they went out, he realized that it was snowing outside. The thick layer of snow on the ground almost reached his calves.

This was only a small town near the scenic area. At three in the morning, there was no one on the street, nor were there any cars passing by. As far as the eye could see, the snow on the road was clean and had never been touched.

It was not safe to drive in such thick snow.

Assistant Yuan looked at it and said, “President Shen, why don’t you take Miss

Nan Ge upstairs? I’ll find a clinic nearby and bring the doctor over.”

However, after asking around, he found out that the clinic was more than three kilometers away from the hotel. Moreover, it was a clinic run by an old Chinese doctor. The other party was old, so it was probably impossible for him to visit so late at night.

Relatively speaking, the town hospital was closer.

Shen Yanqing did not hesitate. He carried Nan Ge on his back and walked away in the snow.

Assistant Yuan was stunned for a moment. He borrowed the hotel umbrella and hurriedly chased after him.

That night, Assistant Yuan finally saw what heavy snow was like. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was snowing heavily in the northeast.

The wind and snow hit his face, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. His eyelashes were covered in snowflakes. After cleaning them off, they would be frozen again in the blink of an eye.

The journey of nearly two kilometers was much more difficult than usual because of the snow.

There were a few times when Shen Yanqing lost his balance. Fortunately, Assistant Yuan was quick enough to support him.

They helped each other along the way to the hospital.

The town hospital here was not big. There was only one doctor on duty at night.

The doctor was also very surprised to see them, especially when he saw that Shen Yanqing’s pants were drenched.

Assistant Yuan was a little luckier. Because he was holding an umbrella at the back and walking on the path Shen Yanqing had taken, he was not in such a sorry state.

“Don’t you have fever medicine with you? Actually, you don’t have to come so late. What if something happens on the way? Were the street lamps all off on the way? It’s not safe,” the doctor lectured as he administered an injection to Nan Ge.

“She’s had a cold for almost two weeks. I haven’t taken good care of her. She suddenly had a high fever tonight. I’m afraid there’s something else wrong. It’s better to come to the hospital. Sorry to trouble you.”

The man’s voice was hoarse. The snowflakes on his face melted into water from the heater and dripped down his chin..
