In her urgency, she even forgot to use the polite “Mr. Li” as a pretense.
Rong Yan reached out to feel his forehead.
It was burning hot.
Her hand immediately recoiled from the heat, “You have a fever?”
He had seemed perfectly normal just a moment ago, how could he suddenly have such a fever after just a shower? That’s scientifically impossible!
“Get up, I’m taking you to the hospital.” She made a decisive move and helped the person on the ground to stand.
As the soft and fragrant warmth drew near, Li Shengxiao could feel a throbbing pain at his temples. His thin lips pressed into a tight line as he desperately tried to restrain himself, “Get out!”
He knew his condition; it was too dangerous for her to be near him right now…
“Where do you expect me to go when you’re like this? I can’t just leave you here!” Yan’s furrowed her brows, irritated, “Besides, you’re at my place. If something happens to you, I’m the first one who can’t escape responsibility! Alright, stop moving!”
She pushed down his hand, took a deep breath, and with gritted teeth, helped him to stand.
“Let’s go back to the living room first.”
The shower was still running cold water; in just a few minutes, she was almost completely soaked. If this continued, she was going to catch a cold.
Perhaps her words just now had an effect.
This time the proud man did not push her away and cooperated as he stood up and returned to the living room.
“Mmm.” Rong Yan had to exert all her strength to place him down on the couch, feeling for her recently purchased fabric couch on one hand and reaching for her phone on the other, she asked, “I remember you have a friend who’s a doctor, what’s his number?”
At first, she really was confused and took a while to come to her senses, but now she had realized that Li Shengxiao must be having an episode.
Duidui had also suffered such intense pain once before.
The Li Family’s genetic disease seemed to be related to the heart. Usually, it appeared just like normal, but once there’s a flare-up, the patient would become extremely anxious and wouldn’t be able to control their emotions. Moreover, the heart would have a constrictive dull pain! Going to the hospital for an examination and an electrocardiogram often showed no issues.
This was her greatest headache.
The hospital examinations came back normal, but the pain was real and palpable.
In the beginning, for Little Baby’s sake, she delved into the study of genetic diseases and even switched her major to traditional Chinese medicine, hoping to find similar cases in it.
But there were none!
Little Baby had been in so much pain during an episode that he continuously cried for mom while in her arms, and it was that very incident that made her determined to send Little Baby back to the Li Family.
Li Shengxiao should have some specific medication for it.
Even if Li Shengxiao didn’t have it, his doctor friend should.
“It’s that one, the doctor with the surname Cui, do you remember his number?”
Rong Yan saw him painfully closing his eyes and let out a breath of turbid air, “Forget it, you don’t seem to remember in this state; I’ll use your phone.” She leaned in to search his clothing pockets by touch.
The scent of his natural fragrance drew closer again, and suddenly Li Shengxiao opened his eyes and fiercely grabbed her hand.
Rong Yan was startled by the sudden pull and hurriedly explained, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to take advantage of you, I’m just looking for your phone…”
Before she could finish speaking, her body leaned forward sharply, and her lips met with a pair of thin lips.
“Mmm!”
Rong Yan hadn’t yet processed what was happening when a mint-flavored kiss pressed down suddenly, the thin lips gently pressing against hers. The last time he had at least moved hesitantly, not going any further. But this time he was like a released beast, directly prying open her lips, deepening the kiss…
Fuck!
She pushed the presumptuous kisser away with all her might.
“Li Shengxiao, you…”
Before she could finish, the man on the couch groaned in pain again, furrowing his brow and the strength holding her hand weakened considerably.
The anger Rong Yan had been clinging to dissipated upon seeing his agonized expression.
“Forget it.”
She wouldn’t hold a grudge against a sick person!
This time, she was smart and quickly found his phone, maintaining a safe distance as she flipped through the contacts. Indeed, she found a number under ‘C’.
There it was!
Rong Yan immediately called it.
“Doo-doo…” After two rings, the phone was picked up right away.
Before she could speak, the person on the other end started blabbering like a tommy-gun, “I’m still asking you how you plan to pursue Rong Yan, and you just ignore me, leaving me alone in the office and run off, and now you have the nerve to call me. What, did you suddenly discover my usefulness and decide to let me help you with your plan to capture Little Yan Rong?”
A plan to capture her…
666!
Rong Yan coughed awkwardly and spoke up, “Ahem, that, sorry, I am Rong
Yan..”
