Chapter 36 Winter rains drifting away, and my heart belongs (3)(1/2)
Gu Mingxi looked up, his eyes a little confused: "Ah?"
Pang Qian's hand had already been put on his forehead and exclaimed: "Gu Mingxi, you have a fever!"
The day before, Gu Mingxi walked for a long time in the rain, and his cold and wet clothes were pressed against his body for a long time. After one night, he finally couldn't stand the cold and fever, and he even had a little cough.
After dinner, Pang Shuisheng asked Gu Mingxi to take a nap, rest more, drink more water, and take some antipyretics. If the fever has not subsided by the night, he has to go to the hospital.
The floor shop in Pang Qian's room had been closed. Gu Mingxi was embarrassed to sleep with Pang Qian's bed. Pang Qian ignored him and directly pressed him onto the bed. She poured a cup of warm water, took a fever-reducing medicine, and said, "Open your mouth."
Gu Mingxi obediently opened his mouth to take medicine, and drank water with Pang Qian's hand. Pang Qian spread the quilt and covered him with a thermometer, and then took his temperature for him.
When Gu Mingxi held the thermometer in his mouth, Pang Qian put his elbows on his legs and looked at him with his hands holding his chin. Gu Mingxi was uncomfortable with her and said vaguely: "What are you looking at?"
"Your face is so bad." Pang Qian hung the corners of her mouth and said unhappily, "I'm most annoying that you are sick. Every time I'm dragging you for a long time, I can't get better. Tonight, you go to bed and I'll sleep on the ground."
From childhood to adulthood, Gu Mingxi rarely gets sick. Even after amputation, his physical resistance is still good. But getting sick does not mean not getting sick. Every time he catches colds and fevers, he can last for a long time. As his deskmate for many years, Pang Qian knows him very well, so he is very afraid that he will get sick.
After hearing Pang Qian's words, Gu Mingxi shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with the bed and sleeping place. I was wet from the rain yesterday."
"Since it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I sleep in the floor."
He coughed softly, or said, "No, you are a girl."
"You are sick." Pang Qian reached out and pressed his forehead again, "You can't touch it yourself. Do you know how high your body temperature is?" As time came, Pang Qian took out the thermometer from Gu Mingxi's mouth, took a look, and handed it to him, "38.8℃, did you see it?"
"It's not very tall either." Gu Mingxi smiled at her, "It's not broken even 39, so it's a big fuss."
"Your brain is burnt out." Pang Qian pouted and stood up, twisted a towel with cold water and covered it on his forehead. Gu Mingxi frowned: "What a cold!"
"Every time I have a fever, my mother will cool me down like this." Pang Qian sat beside him and said, "I brought you home. When your mother comes back and finds you are sick, I feel so embarrassed."
Gu Mingxi glanced at her: "It was clearly me who came to find you myself."
Pang Qian was stunned: "Oh, yes." She couldn't help laughing, "If I lied to my mother, I would believe it."
Gu Mingxi fell asleep after taking the medicine. Pang Qian sat in front of the desk and read comics. Occasionally, Gu Mingxi's cough sounded in the room. He was sleeping uneasy and always turned around, but he never woke up. When he coughed violently, Pang Qian sat next to him and gently patted his back. When his frowning brows were slightly relaxed, he sat back to the desk.
In the evening, Pang Qian found that Gu Mingxi's face was very bad, either red or white, and it should be considered a dirty face. His lips were slightly pouted and his brows were frowning tightly. Pang Qian took off the towel on his forehead and touched his cheeks with his palms, which was still very hot.
She ran out to find Pang Shuisheng: "Dad, Gu Mingxi is still having a fever, what should I do?"
Pang Shuisheng thought for a while and said, "When he wakes up, he takes his temperature again. If it doesn't drop, go to the hospital."
When Gu Mingxi woke up, he felt very bad. He opened his eyes in a daze and found Pang Qian sitting next to him. Seeing him awake, he asked, "Gu Mingxi, how do you feel?"
Gu Mingxi licked his lips, feeling his throat was getting angry, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke: "Pangpang, I'm thirsty."
Pang Qian hurried to get a glass of water, held his back and let him sit up and feed him drink. He drank all the water in one breath, looked up at Pang Qian with dark eyes, like a poor puppy.
Pang Qian took out her thermometer: "Gu Mingxi, open her mouth."
Three minutes later, Pang Qian read: "39.2℃!"
Gu Mingxi said weakly: "It's finally broken 39."
"You are still very proud, aren't you?" Pang Qian stood up with a serious look on her face, "Gu Mingxi, change your clothes, my father said he wanted to take you to the hospital."
Gu Mingxi really didn't want to cause trouble for Pang Shuisheng and his wife. During the Chinese New Year, he was very disappointed when he ran to someone's house to eat, drink and sleep. Now he is still sick and has to go to the hospital. He told Pang Shuisheng several times that he was fine and he would get better after a night's sleep, but Pang Shuisheng did not agree.
Jin Aihua stayed at home to cook dinner, Pang Shuisheng took a taxi and took Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian to the hospital. Gu Mingxi took blood for examination, and there was inflammation in his body. In order to prevent him from becoming pneumonia, the doctor prescribed him a little.
When I went to hang a little drip, the young nurse was stunned when she saw Gu Mingxi. A middle-aged nurse next to me said, "Hang your neck, or hang your insteps, and ask the patient for his opinion."
Gu Mingxi said: "Hang the neck."
When the nurse gave him an injection on his neck, Pang Qian stood beside him and didn't dare to look. Gu Mingxi tilted his head and looked at her, whispering: "Don't be afraid, I don't hurt."
He has several packs of medicine, which will probably take three hours to hang it. Pang Shuisheng accompanied Gu Mingxi to find a seat in the infusion room and said to Pang Qian: "Qianqian, please accompany Mingxi, Dad will go back and cook some porridge for Mingxi, and I will deliver food to you later. It will be past eight o'clock after hang it, so it won't be possible if you don't eat."
Gu Mingxi was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but speak: "Uncle..."
Pang Shuisheng stopped him and continued: "You have a good rest. If you need it, call Qianqian for help. Uncle will come back in an hour."
When Pang Shuisheng left the hospital, he lit a cigarette and called Gu Guoxiang. After answering, he said, "Guoxiang, where are you? Come back quickly, Mingxi is sick."
Gu Guoxiang asked: "What's going on?"
"It rained yesterday. The child walked away in the rain for a long time and was soaked all over. Today he had a fever and was coughing."
Gu Guoxiang was silent on the phone for a moment and said, "I am away from home and booked a plane ticket the afternoon after tomorrow."
"Then you can withdraw and replace it with tomorrow's one?"
"I guess it won't work." Gu Guoxiang's voice was very low, "Shui Sheng, I'm not alone."
The sound of the TV was faintly heard from the other side of the phone, and a vague female voice asked: "Whose phone number is it? It's so busy to come out for fun during the New Year..."
Gu Guoxiang covered his cell phone and said, "Don't talk."
Pang Shuisheng heard it all and wanted to curse her, but he still suppressed his temper and asked, "What about Ahan? Call Ahan! Tell her that Mingxi is sick and she will definitely come back."
"I called, and her phone kept turning off."
"Just call her at home, you always have a phone call from her mother's home."
Gu Guoxiang sighed: "I really haven't. I have only been there two or three times over the years."
Pang Shuisheng had nothing to say. Before hanging up the phone, he yelled: "I fuck your mom! You don't want this kid! I'll raise it!"
During the Chinese New Year, there were not many people in the infusion room of the hospital. Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian sat in the corner, looking up at the TV hanging on the wall. Gu Mingxi was still wearing pajamas and pajamas, and wearing a blanket brought by the house. Others would not notice his physical incompleteness.
Speaking of which, it was the first time that Pang Qian accompanied Gu Mingxi to the hospital for a drip. She didn't know what to pay attention to. However, Gu Mingxi looked up and saw that the medicine had been drained and reminded Pang Qian to find a nurse to change it.
Gu Mingxi was in a bad mood and had no strength to speak. Every time he looked at Pang Qian, he could see her holding her chin and looking at him.
"I know I'm very handsome." He smiled with his lips raised, "But don't look at me like that."
"Narcissist!" Pang Qian was angry and acted to hit him. Gu Mingxi begged for mercy: "Heroine! Be careful of the needle on my neck!"
Pang Qian immediately put down her hand and said with a hard mouth: "I still have to ask for a blow when I am sick."
Gu Mingxi looked at her with a smile: "You are the only one who can beat me. Who doesn't know about Jincai Courtyard? I was bullied by you to grow up."
"Nonsense!" Pang Qian wanted to twist him again, but when she saw that he was sick, she stopped. "How could I bully you? Am I bullying you? My father told me not to bully you yesterday, what does it mean!"
Seeing that she was really angry, Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "I'm joking with you."
"Hmph." Pang Qian didn't start, and after a while, she felt something rubbing on her calf. She looked down and saw that it was Gu Mingxi's feet. He was not wearing socks, and he pulled her pants in his toes and said, "Hey, I'm really kidding you, don't be angry."
Pang Qian tilted her head to look at him, and Gu Mingxi kept laughing: "Or, let's call you, it's okay."
"Crazy." Pang Qian kicked him, and the two of them laughed "squeaked" together.
Pang Shuisheng came to deliver the meal with a thermos pot. Before he could cook porridge, he cooked some porridge for Gu Mingxi, and brought some meat floss and pickled vegetables. Gu Mingxi was not convenient for him to eat, so Pang Shuisheng wanted to feed him, and Pang Qian said, "Dad, I'll do it."
She sat beside Gu Mingxi with a bowl of porridge, feeding him spoonful by spoonful. Occasionally, the soup overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she even wiped him dry with a tissue. After feeding a few spoons, Pang Qian couldn't help but smell him: "I've fed you in the first grade of elementary school. I really didn't expect that when I was in the first year of high school, I still wanted to feed you."
Gu Mingxi looked at her depressedly and lowered her eyes again.
After the infusion, Pang Shuisheng returned home with his two children, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Jin Aihua welcomed them into the house and said to Pang Qian: "Qianqian, you were in the hospital just now. A boy named Xie called you. I said you were out and he asked you to call him back and forth."
"Ah, Xie Yi!" Pang Qian changed into slippers and rushed to the living room telephone. She didn't notice Gu Mingxi's dim eyes at all.
When Pang Qian and Xie Yi were calling, there was a strange glow on her face. She held the microphone and said, even the sound became softer. Gu Mingxi sat in her room for a while and came out to see her again. Pang Qian seemed to be afraid that he would hear the content of her conversation with Xie Yi, and turned her back to him, and finally said happily: "Well, I understand, Xie Yi, bye."
She hung up the phone and turned around to make a face at Gu Mingxi: "Why are you eavesdropping on my phone!"
"I didn't eavesdrop, I... I'll come out to drink water." Gu Mingxi pretended to look around and followed Pang Qian back to the room.
Pang Qian studied the medicines given in the hospital, looked at the instructions on the medicine box, Gu Mingxi sat down beside her, coughed a few times, and asked, "What did Xie Yi ask you for?"
"I asked me to play basketball tomorrow, saying that the school table tennis hall will open tomorrow, and the team can go to practice basketball." Pang Qian was still flipping through the medicine box, "Oh my God, there are actually four medicines, you are going to turn them into medicine jars."
Gu Mingxi asked again: "Will you go?"
Pang Qian replied: "I told him not to be sure. He said that school was about to start, and the table tennis team wanted to practice in advance, saying that we must have eaten and drunk and gained weight during the Chinese New Year, which was just right to lose weight."
Gu Mingxi thought for a while and asked again: "Do you and Xie Yi know the phone number at each other's home?"
"Well, I've been sitting in front of him before." Pang Qian turned her head to look at Gu Mingxi, "I also know the phone number between Zhou Nanzhong and Wang Song, don't you know?"
Gu Mingxi didn't answer and asked again: "Do you often call Xie Yi?"
Pang Qian finally felt strange: "Gu Mingxi, why do you always ask Xie Yi about it?"
Gu Mingxi blushed and coughed again: "Cough cough cough cough cough... I, how could I always ask!"
"You've been asking." Pang Qian patted him for a while, then opened the medicine box and took out the capsules. "Why are you still coughing so hard? I'll pour you water. After taking the medicine, you can rest early."
That night, Pang Shuisheng and his family of three agreed to let Gu Mingxi sleep on the floor again. In order to take care of Gu Mingxi in the middle of the night, Jin Aihua still spread the floor in Pang Qian's room. Gu Mingxi was sweating and his body was very sticky, but he had no strength to take a bath by himself, so he could only ask Pang Shuisheng to help him wash.
After washing it clean, Gu Mingxi returned to Pang Qian's room and found that Pang Qian had already crawled into the quilt on the ground. He stood beside her for a while, stretched out his feet and kicked her carefully. Pang Qian pretended to be dead, but Gu Mingxi had no choice but to climb onto the bed.
Pang Qian poked his head out of the quilt to see him, and his hands were pressed against the edge of the bed, saying, "You go to bed early, call me if you want to drink water at night, and call me if you want to go to the bathroom, and I will call me dad. Also, if you feel uncomfortable, you will call me even more. The doctor is worried that you will become pneumonia."
Gu Mingxi looked at her quietly.
Pang Qian smiled at him: "Also, if you want to cough, you'll cough it out. Don't worry about it disturbing me. It's so uncomfortable to not cough out, really."
Gu Mingxi pursed his lips. Pang Qian was about to fall asleep when he heard him ask: "When is Xie Yi asking you to play basketball tomorrow?"
Pang Qian fainted and sat up again: "Two o'clock in the afternoon."
