The roads were soon decongested. The taxi sped up. They were at the hospital within a few minutes.
Ye Qianqian was having trouble moving, but she still made her way out of the vehicle. Shen Zhilie quickly rushed forward to help her.
She looked down slightly and hesitantly said, âI can walk on my own.â
Shen Zhilie cast her a disdainful glance and said, âEnough with that. Just walk properly then if you canât, just admit it. Whoâs going to laugh at you here?â
As he spoke, he pulled Ye Qianqian into his arms without giving her a chance to object and said, âIâll help you up as you walk.â
With her body held tightly, Ye Qianqian felt the world spin even faster. She straightened her body and leaned against him, saying, âI canât walk.â
Shen Zhilie had long expected that. In an action that could only be described as a half-clasp and half-carry, he brought her into the hospital.
It was a Saturday, and the place was pretty crowded.
Shen Zhilie registered her case as an emergency. He sought out a familiar face before putting her on a drip.
Her fever was 102.2 F, and her whole face was flushed red. Upon being put on a drip, Ye Qianqian laid on the bed and fell asleep. She repeatedly thrashed around in her sleep.
Whether it was from a dream or something else was anyoneâs guess. She kept mumbling something. Her brows were knitted together in a frown. It was hard to make out what she was saying.
Ye Qianqian wasnât the only patient in the emergency ward. Her commotion attracted plenty of stares from the other people present.
Shen Zhilie sat by the side without a change in his expression. He kept his eye on the water bag. Whenever it was almost empty, he alerted the nurses.
After three or four bags had been replaced, two hours had passed.
Ye Qianqian was in a very deep sleep. It was as if she couldnât tell night from day. It was obvious that her sleep wasnât exactly pleasant. She was probably experiencing some nightmares.
After her injection, Shen Zhilie didnât bother waking Ye Qianqian up. He simply carried her. In his arms, her body felt light as a feather to him.
Ye Qianqian was a little shorter than Yu Lili. If he remembered correctly, Yu Lili didnât seem anywhere near as light as Ye Qianqian.
âHm... I guess a womanâs single or attached status makes a difference to her body weight as well,â Shen Zhilie mumbled to himself.
He carried her as he made his way quickly downstairs. His surroundings were noisy. The body in his arms was half suspended in the air.
Ye Qianqian felt as if she were flying. It was almost as if she were in a fantastical world. Her bones were achy and so was her heart. In addition to the ache, there was a bit of sweetness tinged with warmth.
An indescribably strange and mystical feeling began to blossom from the bottom of her heart. She felt as if her body were cocooned in a sense of warmth. When she opened her eyes, she found herself on her bed.
Ye Qianqian looked at her surroundings. She was feeling extremely fatigued. She sat up.
Before she could even steady herself, a voice rang out from beside her. âYouâre awake?â
It was a male voice that undoubtedly belonged to Shen Zhilie.
Although she hadnât exactly been shocked by the voice, Ye Qianqian sat up straight. Her mind was still feeling fuzzy. She stared blankly at Shen Zhilie.
After a long moment, she replied in the affirmative and asked, âDid we go to the hospital?â
Why am I at home now?
âYou were fast asleep like a pig. You wouldnât even have known it if Iâd sold you off for money.â Shen Zhilieâs expression was one of complaint. âI cooked porridge. Have some.â
âI donât feel like eating,â Ye Qianqian replied.
âItâs already 3 p.m. If you continue to go hungry, youâre going to become ethereal soon!â Shen Zhilie closed the book in his hands and stood up. âWash your face. Your whole face is covered in saliva. Itâs disgusting!â
Ye Qianqian froze and quickly reached out to wipe her face. Indeed, there was saliva on it.
She watched as he closed the door and harrumphed before getting up to put on her shoes and head into the bathroom. After waking up from this sleep, Ye Qianqian was feeling a lot better.
