Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 111 I Don’t Drink This!

I've never seen him sleep so soundly before. The heating isn't that strong, so why is his face still a little red? Do you really have a high fever? Chu Yue reached out and touched his forehead. Really!

"Uncle Miao, find a pharmacy, Xingzhi has a high fever." Chu Yue patted his face, trying to wake him up. Could he have fainted from the fever? "Wake up, Zhou Xingzhi!"

"Are we there yet?" He groggily opened his eyes, his head feeling heavy. "I'm so...sleepy."

"You have a high fever. You should go to the pharmacy to buy antipyretics." Chu Yue opened the thermos and asked him to drink the brown sugar ginger water.

"I don't want to drink it. This stuff smells terrible." Maybe it was because of the high fever that he started to act out. He didn't want to drink it, so Chu Yue drank it herself. Uncle Miao stopped the car in front of a pharmacy and was about to go down to buy medicine. Chu Yue wanted to get out first, but Zhou Xingzhi grabbed her coat and said, "Uncle Miao can buy it."

Uncle Miao hurried downstairs to buy medicine. "Do you have any more ginger tea?" Zhou Xingzhi watched her drink it and wanted to try it himself.

"I just gave it to you, but you refused to drink it, and now you want it again!" Why does this person keep repeating himself? "How can I drink if you don't feed me?" He raised his legs, curled up his long legs, and rested his head on her thighs, holding her cold little hand and placing it on his forehead.

Tsk! How old is he? He still needs to be fed? Chu Yue poured the ginger tea into the lid of the thermos cup and held the cup to his mouth. "I don't want to drink this!"

"What do you want to do?" He didn't drink when he was asked to, and now it's put in front of his mouth, but he still refuses to drink.

Zhou Xingzhi sat up, pressed the back of her head and kissed her. "Hmm..." Chu Yue was afraid that Uncle Miao would come back, so she patted him quickly.

"Okay, I've drunk it." After Zhou Xingzhi succeeded, he curled up his long legs and lay down in the back seat, resting his head on her thighs. He said, "I'll feed you this way from now on."

After Uncle Miao got in the car, he handed the medicine to Chu Yue and said, "The people at the pharmacy said that many people have caught colds and fevers recently. If the medicine doesn't help, you should go to the hospital outpatient department as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Miao." Chu Yue took the medicine and read the instructions one by one. "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

"No need. I'll ask Mr. Zhou to reimburse me when the time comes." Uncle Miao didn't dare to ask the girl for money. Last time, Secretary Jiang helped Mr. Zhou get a watch from Special Assistant Chu, and he had to work overtime for two weeks. He also had half a month's bonus deducted because of a small mistake, and he kept complaining to him, the driver, for a whole month.

When he arrived at the hotel, Chu Yue went to the front desk to get some hot water. As soon as he got off the elevator, he heard the front desk staff chatting.

"Hey, why is this big company coming to our small place for a team building? All the rooms are fully booked, but they have to leave the biggest one for that old and young couple."

"What do you mean by old-young pairing? You said they were a good match last year. I also heard that the beach right in front of the door has been booked tonight. I wonder if it's for this company's team building."

Chu Yue was too embarrassed to interrupt them, so she asked them to get her some hot water. A waiter at the front desk took her thermos and filled it for her, while another stood in front of the computer, pretending to be busy.

"You just said the beach is reserved for a company doing team building here tonight?"

"Oh, yes. They said that the place will be cordoned off after dinner and no outsiders will be allowed in." Seeing someone asking, the front desk lady who pretended to be busy hurriedly answered.

If outsiders are not allowed in, then there will be no fireworks at night. When Chu Yue was still feeling a little regretful, another receptionist handed her a thermos filled with water and said, "Miss, be careful of the heat."

Chu Yue thanked him and went upstairs. Seeing Zhou Xingzhi lying on the sofa, she poured the water from the thermos into the lid to cool. She opened a few boxes of medicine, unscrewed a few pills and poured them into her palm. She said to him, "The front desk downstairs said that a company seems to be here for team building and has contracted the beach in front. They will be cordoned off after dinner, so don't buy fireworks."

Zhou Xingzhi still had a wet towel on his forehead. When he heard what she said, he sat up suddenly. "What else did you say?"

How did he suddenly become so energetic? Chu Yue almost dropped the medicine in her hand because of his action. "No, it's gone." You can't say that the receptionist said he was old.

She blew out the water from the thermos lid, brought the medicine and water to him, and Zhou Xingzhi took the medicine obediently. "Let's order takeout tonight. You can't go out in the wind like this."

"How can that be? I want to eat that prawn, abalone and chicken hotpot."

"That's an irritant, you can't eat it." Chu Yue started packing the suitcase. "Take your temperature and put on that fever patch."

"I want to take it. Please help me apply the patch." Zhou Xingzhi took the medicine and lay down on the sofa again.

Chu Yue had just opened the suitcase when she heard this. She felt that something was wrong with him today. He hadn't been like this even when he was pretending to be sick. "Why are you acting weird today?" Although she was suspicious, she still sat on the coffee table and found the thermometer and fever patch in the bag.

The thermometer is mercury and should be placed under the armpit. Chu Yue helped him unbutton his clothes and put the thermometer in. She also helped him straighten his clothes and check the time. Zhou Xingzhi grabbed her hand and said in a daze, "Why are your hands always so cold?"

"Go to bed and sleep. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"No, I still have work to do." Zhou Xingzhi closed his eyes, wanting to sleep but not daring to. Chu Yue took out his phone and checked the nearby restaurants to see if they had the dish he wanted.

When the time was almost up, she pulled out the thermometer, which showed 39°C. She put a fever-reducing patch on him and prepared to get up to pack his suitcase. Zhou Xingzhi grabbed her hand and asked, "How many degrees?"

"39. Have a good rest. I'll answer the phone for you."

He sat up, held her hand tightly, and asked drowsily, "Do you want to try me at 39 degrees?"

"Huh?" Chu Yue was stunned. When did he learn to say such dirty words? "You...just go to sleep, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhou Xingzhi took the opportunity to hug her and rub her neck. "I have some important things to do. I have to get up at 6:30."

"Okay, got it. Lie down well." Thinking that he still had important things to do in the company, Chu Yue helped him lie down on the sofa and took out her scarf from the suitcase to cover him.

She took the toiletries out of the suitcase and placed them in the bathroom, then hung her clothes in the closet. After finishing her tidying up, she sat at the coffee table and watched Zhou Xingzhi sleeping. He was rarely like this, because every time he woke up on his own, he would wake up, and then she would fall asleep, but he would still be awake.

He must be really tired. I don't know what he was doing, but he had to get up on time. The sofa was a bit short, so he had to bend his legs to lie down. At 1.89 meters tall, it was a bit unfair to him.

Her phone vibrated. She glanced at the number and saw it was Chu Jinyue. She took her phone and went outside to answer it. In the corridor, some staff were setting up things. When they saw her, they were obviously stunned.

Thinking that I had disturbed someone at work, I could only smile awkwardly, take my phone, sneak back to the room, and go to the second floor to answer the call.

"Hello, Jin Yue." He didn't dare to speak loudly and tried to keep his voice down.

"Sister, what are you doing? So quietly? I just want to tell you that I can buy the plane ticket myself. I still have some money. Have you visited mom?"

"I sent her something once, but she refused to see me."

There was a moment of silence on the phone. Chu Jinyue knew that his mother had always disliked his sister, but he didn't know she disliked him to this extent. In the past, when he returned to China, the family would still sit down together for a meal or something.

"Let me buy you a plane ticket. What time will you be back?"

"No, I still have some money. I'll send you the flight information once I buy the ticket. You don't have to pick me up at the airport if you're not available."

"No one has lived at home for too long. I'm worried about you going back to live alone. When the time comes..." Chu Yue glanced at Zhou Xingzhi who was sleeping on the first floor, "You can stay...stay with us then."

"You're living together? Damn it! No, I! Sister, have you...have you thought it through? I always feel that guy is not a good person!"

"I know my own business. When will you be back? I'll buy you a plane ticket. You'll have to spend money to return home."

"Yueyue! What time is it?" Zhou Xingzhi touched his forehead and tore off the fever-reducing patch. He felt much better after a good sleep, but where was the person?

"Hey, it's 6 o'clock. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Chu Yue poked his head out from the second floor and said to the phone, "Send me a message and I'll buy you a plane ticket."
