Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
Ji Yi first pulled the covers over He Jichen, then sat casually on the floor. She pulled out a thermoter from the dical kit and put under He Jichen’s armpit.
Her fingers accidentally touched his chest. It was just as firm as it was four years ago, and it still had the ability to make her feel all warm inside.
Ji Yi instantly thought back to that night so many years ago, and the image of their bodies intertwining caused her entire body to shiver. She swiftly pulled her hand back and repeatedly pinched herself. She only stopped when the pain completely masked the feel of He Jichen’s skin.
As Ji Yi checked He Jichen’s temperature, she searched the dicine kit for fever dication.
The dicine kit was unused. She figured that He Jichen must not have had enough ti to take the dicine before he heard her ring the doorbell.
Ji Yi read the instructions carefully. Then she got up, went to the kitchen, and returned with a cup of hot water.
She put the cup on the ground. To avoid touching his skin again, Ji Yi pulled out the thermoter far more carefully than before.
He Jichen’s temperature was nearly forty degrees.
Ji Yi put down the thermoter and hurriedly gave He Jichen dicine. Thankfully, in his hazy feverish state, he still instinctively knew to swallow. Even though quite a bit of water seeped through his lips, the dicine made its way in.
The instructions clearly said that if the patient’s fever didn’t subside in the next four hours, take another dose.
Ji Yi really didn’t want to be in the sa room as He Jichen, but luckily he was asleep, so she felt a lot more comfortable.
Night slowly fell.
Ji Yi stared at her phone for a long ti; her eyes were a little exhausted. She then shifted her gaze to look out the window.
The lights were on in the room, so the floor-to-ceiling windows beca a mirror. She could clearly see the reflection of her and He Jichen in the window.
She stared unwaveringly at his face for a long ti before she looked down. Her facial expression barely changed, yet there was a faint hint of sadness in her eyes.
Ji Yi set an alarm for four hours later. He Jichen’s fever hadn’t subsided yet, so all she could do was give him another dose of dicine.
She woke up early that morning. Since she had to go to director Liang’s office, she wouldn’t get any ti to rest in the afternoon. After it hit twelve in the afternoon, she started to feel sleepy.
She considered waiting for his fever to subside before leaving, but when she reached her hand out to check his forehead one more ti, his temperature was still frighteningly high. Unable to contain her sleepiness, she couldn’t help but slump to the ground against the wall. As she started to doze off, she groggily stroked his forehead again. It didn’t feel so hot. She let out a sigh of relief before she drifted off to sleep.
As Ji Yi slept, her body wavered unsteadily before falling to the ground. However, the anticipated pain didn’t co. Instead, she felt a warmth from underneath her. She shifted into a comfortable position and slipped into a deep sleep.
...
While drowsy, He Jichen felt like there was soone snuggled in the crook of his arm. A familiar scent from the soft body drifted into his nostrils.
