The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 91
He had never been alone with her in a private space since he met her.In fact, now he is very afraid of getting too close to her. In such an environment, his self-control is too much tested.

The sky outside the window was already pitch black, and the west wind was running wildly. He watched her quietly for a while, then walked to the table, picked up the thermos bottle on the ground and poured water to drink.

The sound of pouring water was very slight. He dissolved the medicine in the cup and watched the packet of powder dissolve into a light brown liquid, like a cup of bitter coffee.

Before time travelling, he hated coffee very much, and would suffer from insomnia after drinking it.What's more, it was Ah Nan who repeatedly persuaded him to drink, and there was a magic drug in the coffee that he couldn't believe.

Suddenly, Ah Nan appeared in front of his eyes, and the words that made him cry the last time he heard echoed in his ears: "You have to be well over there, I will wait for you where you are..."

I thought I would never think of her again. Could it be that there is still a vague existence of her subconsciously?
If Dr. Chen's words are true and Ah Nan's mother also traveled to the Republic of China, then he must not only hurry up to understand the bookstore, but also search for a needle in a haystack to find a woman who looks similar to Ah Nan. Find a way back again.

But right now, he is deeply in love with Lin Mi, and he regards her family's affairs as his own, which obviously deviates from his original intention.He suddenly thought of a serious question: Are you willing to give up the chance to go back for her, silently guard her in the world more than 100 years ago, and help her face the unknown life and the impermanence of the world?
He needs time to think about this answer, because these two parallel worlds separated by more than a century are of great significance to him: one has his parents, and the other has his true love.These two worlds have his inseparable family, love and friendship...

Holding the cup, he waited for the water to cool down before drinking the medicine.The taste of this medicine is not very bitter, slightly sweet in the astringent, with a dandelion aroma.

The faint fragrance, accompanied by the hot air in the thermos, lingered in the room and permeated the pillow.He suddenly heard the person on the bed move slightly, and turned to look at her.

The way she was asleep was very moving, and there was a kind of tranquil and natural beauty flowing from top to bottom.The buttons on the collar were undone at some point, and most of the quilt that was originally covered on the chest slipped off.

He covered the quilt again, saw a few strands of curly hair covering his eyes, and gently brushed behind her ears for her.

The inside of the house was much warmer than the outside. He held her hand and found that the palm of his hand was much warmer, and it was no longer as cold as it was at the beginning, so he was slightly relieved.

Seeing a pile of books and homework on the table, he walked over and continued to work.If you can't relax, you don't have to think about her too much, it can be a distraction to some extent.

He immersed himself in preparing for the class, and his chest began to feel tight again, and he couldn't help but want to cough.Worried that she would wake up with a start, he tiptoed outside the house and coughed while leaning on the railing at the end of the corridor.

When he returned to the room clutching his chest, he was surprised to find that she woke up and was sitting on the bed looking at him with concern.

"Ms. Zhang, have you taken any medicine? Why is your face so red?"

He pretended to be very relaxed, "Don't worry, a boy doesn't count as sick if he catches a cold. He'll be fine tomorrow after taking the medicine..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again.His symptoms were worse than hers.

Lin Mi quickly got out of bed and helped him to sit on the chair.

"Sorry, I gave you a cold. The note has been received, thank you for always caring about me."

In order to avoid coughing, he didn't speak this time.The two looked at each other for a few minutes, and he suddenly took her hand and held it tightly.

Her tears dripped down quietly: he always treats his feelings so reservedly and introverted, and it is rare for him to take the initiative.If she hadn't pursued her closely back then, even if he liked her very much, he wouldn't have gotten close to her...

With her other hand, she gently touched his forehead, the palm was hot and wet: not only did he have a fever, but he was also sweating.

"May I help you to lie on the bed? Don't be brave when you're sick. Let me take care of you."

He gasped for a while, looked into her eyes, "I can take care of myself, but you... always make me worry."

Lin Mi hugged him, and lightly thumped him on the back a few times: "I want to be with you every day these days..."

She was looking forward to his answer, but what she waited for was silence.She felt the weight on her shoulders suddenly increase a lot, he lost his balance and fell asleep in her arms drowsily.He obviously didn't hear those words.

She forcefully helped him onto the bed, covered the quilt, took out the handkerchief, and took a basin to fetch cold water from the water room outside the house.Her mind was a little messy. Not long ago, she took care of Lin Yitang like this. At that time, she was clumsy, either spilling water on the bed or dripping on her cousin.Now that she is more proficient, she gently covered his forehead with a wet handkerchief, and took it off after a while to apply a cold compress again.

He slept on the bed for nearly two hours before waking up, touched the wet handkerchief, opened his eyes, and saw her leaning on the pillow next to him.He subconsciously moved his body towards the wall to keep some distance and make her less embarrassed.

Lin Mi was originally standing at the head of the bed, but when he saw that he was in a deep sleep, he simply lay down next to him, so that he could see the situation more clearly.Seeing him wake up, she shyly grabbed the quilt to cover her flushed face.

"The quilt is so fluffy and smells like the sun."

"I just washed and dried it on the weekend, and of course it's fluffy."

She leaned against him tightly and looked at the layout of the room, all of them were in her favorite style.

She couldn't help but praised: "Your little world is very clean and tidy. There are books, flowers, and all my favorite daffodils. Can you give me a piece of house key?"

Zhang Xiaofa hesitated: Should I give her the key?

If it is his personal house, of course he can give it.But this is the teacher's dormitory of the school, so it's better not to give it.After all, a house key is no better than a bicycle key.

"I can't give it now, I will give it to you when I have a house, okay?"

She put her face on his chest and said mischievously, "I just like this place now. I really want to have the key here. I promise not to come when there are too many people, okay?"

Zhang Xiaofa had no choice but to agree, pointing to the key on the table: "There are exactly two keys, you can take one."

Lin Mi stood up, took the key, and straightened her hair and skirt.

She walked up and down the room, her heels tapping the floor in a merry rhythm.

The puppy under the bed woke up and got out like a little snowball, which surprised her.

"You have been with it all the time? Give it a bell some other day. Hey, does it have a name?"

"I never named it. How about you?"

"Then I'll go back tonight and think about it."

He opened the closet and took out a coat and put it on her.

"Are you going back to school tonight? I'll take you to the dormitory. It's probably time to close the doors and turn off the lights."

She leaned against his chest: "I'm here to deliver medicine to you, and I have to go back to the hospital. Take good care of your health. I feel so distressed like this."

He fell silent again after listening, remembering the pictures he saw last night.

She guessed something from his expression, and was startled: it is very likely that he also went to the hospital last night...

She quickly clasped his hand to clarify the misunderstanding: "Except for taking care of Lin Yitang as a family member in the hospital, nothing else really happened. Please trust me, okay?"

He tried to keep a calm tone, "It's cold, take care."

The two went out together, walking in the quiet campus at night, each wishing to stay by each other's side, but they couldn't realize such a simple little wish.

He sent her to the school gate, and said goodbye softly: "I'll see you off soon."

Zhang Xiaofa watched her drive away in the cold autumn night, and only turned back when the car disappeared from sight.

It was only when Lin Mi sat in the car that he realized that his coat was still on him.She didn't care about other people's eyes at all, she was only worried about whether he would blow the night breeze and make his condition worse.
