This year’s flu season lasted longer than before. Countless people were caught by its unpredictability, and as a result, a steady stream of patients flooded the hospitals and small clinics every day. It was “the season of IV drips.” The nurses and doctors were practically flying on their feet as they scrambled from patient to patient.
Facts proved that people should be careful about what they boasted about. Even if they were confident in what they said, they should still maintain a proper degree of humility… because they’d never know when it might come back and bite them in the ass, turning them into a laughing stock.
Of course, Yan Cheng had been infected by Chen Jinyao. They didn’t really do anything, but he was worried that she would kick the blanket in her sleep and thus refused to listen to her when she told him to move to the guest room. After holding her feverish body and her restless legs close for an entire night, he died gloriously in battle.
Alas, his sacrifice didn’t earn him her sympathy. He received mockery instead.
After the needle was slowly pushed into his arm, Yan Cheng loosened his fist. When his cool gaze swept over in her direction, she promptly withdrew the mocking smile on her face.
Although they weren’t truly a couple, the pretenses should still be kept up.
Yan Cheng pursed his lips and said blankly, “As the poet Cai Zhi once said, family should not fight each other,” he paused, “you should take it into consideration.”
“…” Chen Jinyao stared at him with one eyebrow raised and drawled, “Okay.”
Ignoring the obvious insincerity in her tone, the man nodded slightly and continued to advise her, “Killing each other will only result in destruction to both sides.”
Chen Jinyao: “…”
The first thought that came to mind when she heard this was: bullshit. The reality was very different from whatever he was preaching. However, she chose wisely to keep silent and pretend to surrender, agreeing with his words while secretly laughing at him.
“…” He could obviously tell what she was thinking, but what he didn’t understand was what she found so amusing. Sighing, he decided to ignore her.
Things stayed this way until the fifth day.
When the two of them were finally released from the hospital, Chen Jinyao couldn’t laugh anymore. As a matter of fact, she wanted to cry.
It was like eating the same food every day until a subconscious aversion toward it was developed, and the person would not want to eat it again until a long time has passed.
