Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

The car arrived at the entrance of the neighbourhood.

Xu Baohan counted the money and walked towards the pharmacy at the side.

The pharmacist asked him about his symptoms and gave him a box of stomach medicine.

Just as he was about to pay the bill, a young woman walked in. She was wearing a light orange knitted coat and her face was pale.

“Doctor, do you have this medicine?” She handed a medicine box to the pharmacists and coughed. Her gaze met Xu Baohan’s.

Xu Baohan was stunned for a second before he nodded lightly at her. “Why are you here?”

He remembered that her house was quite far from here. If she is just popping into the supermarket, she could be said to have passed by by chance, but it was a little strange that she was still able to meet him at the pharmacy near his house.

“Oh, I live near here,” Zhuang Tianya said in a hoarse voice. “Our company moved here a while ago.”

Xu Baohan frowned slightly. Could it be that he would meet her often in the future? If An Lan found out, she might get angry again. However, he could not interfere with where she lived. “What a coincidence.”

“Yeah,” Zhuang Tianya coughed again. “I didn’t expect to come back here after so many twists and turns, but it’s still alright. I’m quite familiar with this place.”

“Yes, no matter how familiar I am, I’ll move out sooner or later.” Xu Baohan suppressed his heartburn and said calmly, “Next year, when my new house is renovated and I’m preparing to get married, I won’t be living in this house anymore.”

“OH.” Zhuang Tianya looked at the medicine box in his hand. “Is your stomach uncomfortable? I remember when you used to work in the county, you used to have to socialize and drink, causing your stomach to be uncomfortable.”

Xu Baohan did not answer her question, he only reminded her, “You don’t look well, buy the medicine first, I’m leaving.”

He had just walked out of the pharmacy when he heard the pharmacist behind him suddenly call out, “Miss, are you alright?”

He turned around, and Zhuang Tianya fell to the ground.

The pharmacist was trying his best to help her up, but when he saw Xu Baohan return, he hurriedly said, “Sir, I saw that you know her, you two are friends, right? Quickly call and send her to the hospital. Her entire body was burning hot, she must have a fever.”

Xu Baohan bent down and touched her forehead, it was indeed extremely hot.

Zhuang Tianya did not pass out completely, her eyes were half-closed, large drops of sweat were dripping down her forehead, her lips were pale.

“Do you still have strength?” Xu Baohan asked darkly.

Zhuang Tianya shook her head in a daze, her lips were trembling so much that she could not say a word.

Xu Baohan remembered that her body was not very strong in the past, the slightest change in the weather would cause her to catch a cold easily, sometimes even a cough would take more than half a month to recover.

He sighed helplessly and carried her to the hospital. Fortunately, there wasn’t much traffic at this time and there were more taxis. They arrived at the emergency building of the nearby hospital in about ten minutes.

The moment the emergency department heard that Zhuang Tianya had a fever, they immediately sent her to the clinic.

There were blood draws and blood tests.

At midnight, Zhuang Tianya was finally hooked up to an IV drip. It was probably because her fever had been too severe previously. After lying on the hospital bed, she was still in a daze and wasn’t fully conscious.

Even though Xu Baohan took the time to take the stomach medicine, he was still not feeling well. He had also drunk a lot of Baijiu and his head was hurting. He really wanted to go back, but Zhuang Tianya was still in a daze. If he didn’t watch, no one would know that the IV drip was over.

He wanted to contact Zhuang Tianya’s family, but her phone was in her trouser pocket. It wouldn’t be convenient for a man like him to take it.

After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and reached into her pocket.

Halfway through, Zhuang Tianya suddenly opened her eyes in a daze and looked at him.

“I want to use your phone to contact your parents,” Xu Baohan explained. “Have them come over to accompany you.”
