Chapter 89 Catching a cold

At two o'clock in the morning, just over an hour before the lights were turned off before going to bed, a slight cough sounded in the ward.Lin Yitang was awake at first, but his eyes widened when he heard the noise on the sofa.His first reaction was that Lin Mi caught cold at night: he was fine during the day, but the wind blew before going to bed, or the quilt fell off.Although his injury has healed, it is really difficult to be as agile as before.In addition, the curtains were lowered to block the moonlight, so there was no light in the room, so he sat up by feeling and groping, reaching out like a blind man to find the lamp on the wall behind him.

He probed back and forth on the cold wall several times with his fingers, and finally determined the location of the switch pull cord.With the crisp sound of the switch, the room returned to its previous brightness.

In this warm light, he clearly saw her lying on the sofa, and the quilt she was covering fell to the ground long ago.He felt distressed and blamed himself for being careless: it was too cold without a quilt, she was only wearing a piece of early autumn pajamas, how could she not catch a cold...

In order to go to see her, he endured the pain of the wound, gritted his teeth and got off the bed for the first time without help.In order to maintain his balance, he took the crutch on the bedside table and walked towards the sofa with difficulty.

Although the distance is less than four meters, it is extremely difficult for a seriously injured person.Sweat ran down his cheeks, and he couldn't help panting slightly.He moved to her side like this, picked up the quilt, and covered her gently with the side that didn't touch the floor.

However, her sleeping position made him suffer a lot.The quilt stayed on her smooth pajamas for a few seconds, and with a natural turn, it flew to the floor again.While admiring the way she fell asleep, he bent down to pick it up and cover it up... After repeating it several times, she suddenly coughed again. This time, her breathing became short of breath, and her face flushed.

The roles of the two of them were reversed this night, and the one who took care became the one who was taken care of.

Lin Yitang saw that she was showing signs of fever and it was inconvenient for him to speak loudly, so he had to shake her gently, and he didn't even notice that he put his hands in the wrong place in a hurry.

Lin Mi was in a dream, and suddenly he was woken up, and it was hard for him to adapt physically and mentally.In the dimness, she felt something covering her chest, which seemed to be warm. When she opened her eyes, she saw his hands there. In a panic, she lost her balance and rolled down from the sofa, her waist ached and her legs ached.

"Mimi, I'm sorry, I scared you just now..."

She got up in embarrassment, rewrapped the loose pajamas, supported him and said, "It's okay, cousin, I know you are here to cover the quilt, and the habit of kicking the quilt has not been changed for so many years."

She helped him back to the bed with both hands, and seeing his dry lips, she said, "Cousin, you sit down first, and I'll get you some water. People from the south will feel uncomfortable when they come to Beiping in autumn. Need Drink plenty of water, it's good for your health."

She handed a glass of warm water to his lips, held his shoulders and fed the water gently, being careful and thoughtful.

He didn't expect her to be so sensible and considerate, and he was almost moved to tears.When she put away the teacup and was about to go back to sleep on the sofa, he mustered up the courage to make a request.

"Don't sleep on the sofa. I heard you cough twice and you've caught a cold. This bed is wide enough to accommodate two people."

His intentions were good, but he just wanted to prevent her from catching a cold and hurting her body.

And when she thought of her mother's meaningful smile before leaving, she felt vaguely afraid that something might happen.Two young people, lying together late at night, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen...

Lin Mi didn't dare to look him in the eyes, she lowered her head and politely refused: "No, no, I like to sleep alone."

According to her thinking, her cousin has always listened to her, and it should be the same this time.

However, this time the situation was reversed, Lin Yitang grabbed her waist the moment she was about to stand up, and hugged her whole body to his chest.

"Please forgive me. I can't bear to see you catch a cold and have a fever, but I don't have the physical strength to pick up and cover you with quilts all night."

Her body seemed to have been electrocuted for an instant, but after recovering from it, she didn't dare to struggle hard, for fear that his wound would bleed.

In order to dispel her worries, he lifted the quilt in front of her face, grabbed the two pillows behind her and stuffed them in the middle of the bed one after the other, "Look, this is the limit, I won't go too far, don't worry sleep .”

She is still not at ease, after all, two pillows are not as solid as a copper wall.

Lin Yitang persuaded her for a long time, but seeing her sad and frightened look, he had no choice but to swear.

He took a revolver from under the sheet and held it in her hand.

"I loaded this gun with five bullets during the day. I originally thought that my aunt would take all the guards back tonight, and I would use it to protect you. Now that you are so worried, you can take it. I take the personality I swear to my life that I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do. If I offend you, you can shoot at any time..."

She recalled all the scenes after he was shot, and comforted softly: "Cousin, I believe in you. You put this gun away, let's rest..."

She was lying close to the edge of the bed, and the distance between him and him could accommodate another person.

He saw that she didn't sleep on the sofa anymore, the tight string finally relaxed, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes when she lay down.

Due to the exhaustion of energy just now, Lin Yitang, who has not yet recovered, fell asleep quickly. Lin Mi quietly got up and tucked up the quilt for him, because it is even more difficult to catch a cold after the operation...

At dawn, she got up lightly, changed clothes, washed, combed his hair, left all the medicines he needed on the bedside table, and went out with her schoolbag on her back.

When Mrs. Lin came to deliver breakfast before seven o'clock, she found that her daughter had gone to school and her nephew was still asleep.Looking at the fluffy quilt, she couldn't help but want to laugh: don't they sleep with pillows?Then she saw the small quilt on the sofa, and wondered for a moment: Where did the daughter sleep all night?
Lin Mi rushed to the classroom early in the morning to participate in the morning reading.Zhang Xiaofa who passed by was very relieved to see that there were few students inside: she returned to campus and studied hard.

However, when it was time for him to attend class, as soon as he entered the classroom, he saw her lowering her head and wiping her nose with a handkerchief.Before half of the class was over, she sneezed several times, and the sound of coughing could be heard clearly, which made his heart ache.

After class, while checking homework, he put a note in her practice notebook and returned it.Lin Mi opened it and saw that it said: "Come to the office at noon."

She complied.As soon as I entered the office, I saw him pouring hot water, and there happened to be no other teachers in the office.

Without raising his head, he said, "Sit down on the chair next to me. I have something to tell you."

He put the water glass and a packet of medicine in front of her. "This is medicine for colds. Take it in the morning and evening. Take two pills first. It's cold, so be careful to catch a cold when you sleep at night."

After he said this, he remembered the scene of seeing her close the door and draw the curtains in the hospital last night.And she blushed, anxiously thinking about the difficult night after the lights were turned off.
