Chapter 837: Chapter 825

I have a fever.

After the fever subsided, I covered my chest... like a child who had done something wrong, exhaling deeply.

If Gu Xiaoning saw this, and felt sorry for Le Zhengsheng, she would definitely have some reaction, right?

Yu Sangwan deleted the message and put the phone back on the nightstand.

Then she stood up and left the room.

It wasn’t bedtime yet, and the doorbell rang.

Yu Sangwan’s heart skipped a beat; she guessed who it might be and hurriedly threw on some clothes and went downstairs.

She opened the door, but there was no one there.

"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan frowned, "Could it be a prank by kids?"

She was hesitating whether to close the door when suddenly a hand stretched out, holding the door open.

Yu Sangwan was startled, "Ah! Who’s there?"

"It’s me..." Gu Xiaoning peeked her head from the side.

In Yu Sangwan’s view, she saw a simple face, unadorned but bright and beautiful.

Chapter 526: Occupying Desire

Yu Sangwan smiled; this young girl in front of her, she remembered a bit.

Back when she and Le Zhengsheng first came here, everything was unfamiliar. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital always made her feel uneasy and flustered. And this young girl was the liveliest among the doctors and nurses, always smiling.

"It’s you?"

"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning scratched her head embarrassedly, "You remember me?"

"Though not very familiar, you love to smile, I remember." Yu Sangwan smiled slightly and pulled her in, "Don’t stand outside, Ah Sheng is not out there."

Gu Xiaoning blushed, "I..."

Yu Sangwan pointed upstairs, "Ah Sheng is upstairs."

"He..." Facing Yu Sangwan, Gu Xiaoning felt a bit restricted, "Has he fallen asleep? I can’t reach him by phone..."

"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded, "He’s having a fever and might be sleeping drowsily."

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning exclaimed, "He really has a fever! How are you handling it..."

Before she finished asking, she felt embarrassed again; on what grounds was she questioning Yu Sangwan like this?

Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I didn’t do anything. The doctor mentioned before, if it’s a low fever, no need for medicine... I also don’t know what to do for him, so I let him sleep."

"But..." Gu Xiaoning mumbled, "Sleeping like this must be uncomfortable."

Yu Sangwan held back a laugh, "Then go check on him! I wouldn’t know how, but you are a nurse, you certainly would."

"I..."

Gu Xiaoning stood still, wringing her fingers in conflict, "Ah Sheng might not want to see me... We had a fight today."

A fight?

Yu Sangwan was puzzled; she heard a different version from Ah Sheng.

"Ningning." Yu Sangwan took her hand, "Can I call you that?"

"Uh?" Gu Xiaoning nodded blankly, "Of course."

"Good." Yu Sangwan smiled, "From what I know, you didn’t fight, it’s Ah Sheng who made you feel wronged... isn’t it?"

Gu Xiaoning blinked her big eyes, "No, he didn’t make me feel wronged... It was me, who got a bit impatient. I promised him I would wait for him..."

"Wait for him?"

Yu Sangwan was slightly surprised, then understood and tentatively asked, "If you don’t mind, can I ask, this ’wait’ you mentioned... does it mean waiting for him to forget about me?"

"..."

Gu Xiaoning was startled; she didn’t expect Yu Sangwan would express it so plainly.

Her cheeks immediately reddened, waving her hands, "I, I..."

"Don’t be nervous." Yu Sangwan smiled gently, "Actually, it’s better for me to explain this to you, saving you from having a grudge in your heart... Ah Sheng and I have known each other for years, do you know why he treats me differently?"

Gu Xiaoning thought for a moment, "You’re beautiful, and kind... If it were me, I would like you too!"

"No."

Yu Sangwan shook her head, "Because when Ah Sheng hurt his finger, I helped him bandage it."

"..."

Gu Xiaoning was shocked, that was the reason!

Yu Sangwan chuckled softly, "You know, with Ah Sheng’s condition, he can’t bleed... So I helped him bandage his finger, and he sees me as a savior. Actually, all these years, even Ah Sheng hasn’t figured out what he truly feels about me... Men are often slow in these matters."

"But..." Gu Xiaoning frowned, "He still likes you! Otherwise, why would he stay by your side for so many years?"

"He likes me, but there are different kinds of liking." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "Let me ask you, if someone likes another person, would they really be willing to watch them marry and have children with someone else, and not care?"

Gu Xiaoning was silent, not quite understanding her meaning.

Yu Sangwan sighed lightly, her tone somewhat seasoned, "Love should begin with a desire to possess... and Ah Sheng has never had that desire for me."

"..." Gu Xiaoning’s mouth moved, half-understanding.

Yu Sangwan patted her shoulder, "I heard, today at the gathering, you sat very close to a male classmate?"

"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning panicked, shaking her head and waving her hands, "No, the restaurant behind the school is small, everyone was just sitting randomly."

"But, Ah Sheng cares." Yu Sangwan lightly smirked, "Still don’t get it? Ah Sheng was unhappy, his feelings for you are possessive... He can’t stand seeing you close to other guys, can’t even talk to them; he wants to put you in his pocket."

Gu Xiaoning blinked, taken aback, "Really...?"

"Oh dear." Yu Sangwan sighed, "Both of you are so clueless, you’ll have to figure it out! Now, go upstairs and check on Ah Sheng; I’m not good at taking care of him!"

With a nudge, she pushed Gu Xiaoning upstairs.

Gu Xiaoning hesitated but still wanted to see Le Zhengsheng...

Upon entering the room, Le Zhengsheng indeed wasn’t sleeping peacefully.

Gu Xiaoning touched his forehead, luckily... it wasn’t too high of a fever, it should be fine.

She got up and went to the bathroom to get warm water to wipe down Le Zhengsheng. This would make him more comfortable and bring his temperature down.

After finishing, Gu Xiaoning sat by the bed, propping her chin and looking at Le Zhengsheng... So handsome! If this person weren’t sick... wouldn’t he be perfect then? If he hadn’t gotten this illness, perhaps they would never have met, right?

"Ah Sheng."

Gu Xiaoning gently held Le Zhengsheng’s hand, "Don’t be mad anymore, I will behave and not throw a tantrum at you in the future, your health is delicate, I should be more patient."

"Also, Sister Wanwan is so gentle... I really like her."

As the temperature dropped, Le Zhengsheng’s breathing steadied, gradually sleeping peacefully.

Fearing it might recur, Gu Xiaoning didn’t dare leave his side even for a moment.

As dawn approached, Gu Xiaoning came down from upstairs. No one else in the house had woken up yet, but she had to go for an early shift and had to leave.

When Yu Sangwan and the others got up and saw Le Zhengsheng coming out by himself, they were surprised, "You’re alone?"

Le Zhengsheng looked bewildered, "Elsewhat? Little Mantou has been sleeping with mom these days, not in my room."

"..." Yu Sangwan’s lips slightly parted, "That..."

Le Zhengsheng took a sip of milk, furrowing his brows, "By the way, Wanwan, it’s just a low fever, it’s okay, yet you stayed up all night taking care of me... you should be more careful since you’re not alone now, the child in your belly is important."

Yu Sangwan puzzled, "How do you know I stayed up taking care of you?"

"Uh?" Le Zhengsheng was slightly dazed, biting into a sandwich, "Didn’t you? The towel is still hanging by my bed..."

"Oh, you!" Yu Sangwan shook her head, "Your observation is pretty detailed, but it was someone else who stayed up taking care of you last night, not me."
