Lin Xiaowan leaned over and kissed Huo Zheng’s chin before she said ingratiatingly, “I don’t usually get to eat those things after all. I thought it’d be fine to eat it once after so long… 1… Perhaps 1 was too excited and ate, uh, a little too much…”
Huo Zheng sighed. “It’s not like 1 don’t let you eat them at all. You have to pay attention to the ingredients and quantity. Look at the consequences of your actions. You’re sick now.”
“I know, I know,” Lin Xiaowan said, licking her lips, “I want to have oden tomorrow. That’s okay, right? It’s homemade after all. The ingredients are fresh, and the chef will make the soup so there are no additives.”
Huo Zheng pinched her cheek, angry that she could still think of food at this moment. He said, “You’re going to be a vegetarian tomorrow.”
Lin Xiaowan kissed him and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
The two continued to chat for a while before Lin Xiaowan’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Seeing that the person in his arms was about to fall asleep, Huo Zheng stopped teasing her and gently patted her to sleep.
However, just as Lin Xiaowan was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea. The acid in her stomach seemed to surge. She got up, covered her mouth, and quickly ran to the bathroom. She was in such a rush that she did not wear her slippers at all. When she stepped on the cold tiles in the bathroom, a chill quickly spread up her feet.
Huo Zheng reacted quickly and followed her into the bathroom. He carried her up after she vomited. He frowned when he checked her temperature again; it had risen.
Lin Xiaowan winced, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her face again. She whimpered, saying, “My stomach hurts again.”
The pain was even more intense than before. It felt as though her intestines were twisted. She had always been a little delicate when she was with Huo Zheng. As long as he was around, even a little pain seemed unbearable. With such excruciating pain, her tears fell immediately.
Huo Zheng’s heart ached when he looked at her. He kissed her as he said, coaxing her, “Let’s go to the hospital, okay?”
The house in Xilin Imperial Garden did not have medical equipment. Even if he invited the private doctor over, the other party would not be able to examine her properly. It was better for them to go to the hospital.
The People’s Hospital.
Lin Xiaowan’s temperature was taken again when she was at the hospital. It had risen to 39 degrees Celcius. After the examination, she was diagnosed with acute enteritis, which also caused her fever.
The doctor who treated her was the same one who treated her in the past. He looked at her and said with a sigh, “Acute enteritis is a relatively common digestive disease. There’s no need to worry too much. It happens when you eat food contaminated with bacteria or viruses.”
“Originally, you already have chronic gastritis. However, judging by the scans, your stomach condition is not bad. You have to continue taking care of it. Pay attention to what you eat. The last time 1 saw you, 1 remember you had irritable bowel syndrome as well… Don’t take this lightly just because you’re young, understand?”
Lin Xiaowan, who was in Huo Zheng’s arms, lowered her head as she listened to the doctor obediently. She nodded like a chick pecking at grains as she said, “Yes, yes, I understand.”
She seemed like she was reflecting on herself, but in fact, she did not listen to anything at all.
In the end, it was already close to dawn when everything was done. When the sun was about to rise, Lin Xiaowan finally fell asleep. Even when she was asleep, she was clinging to Huo Zheng, refusing to let him go.
When she woke up again, it was already noon. She was woken up by the fragrance of food. When she opened her eyes, she discovered she was in a room painted in a warm color.
A thermal lunch box sat on the small dining table next to the bed.
At some point, Gu Yuwu and her husband had come over. They were sitting on the couch with Huo Zheng at this moment, talking in low voices.
Lin Xiaowan sat up.
With just a slight sound, Huo Zheng stood up and strode over immediately. He touched her forehead as he said, “You’re awake.”
Lin Xiaowan’s eyes were glued to the lunch box at this moment. “It smells so good…”
Huo Zheng pinched her cheek lightly. “There’s no chicken wings, French fries, or oden today.”
Aunt Wu had personally cooked millet porridge for Lin Xiaowan. Honey, red dates, longan, and pumpkin were also added into the porridge. She even packed small porcelain bowls with cartoon characters for Lin Xiaowan.
“Have you eaten?” Lin Xiaowan asked Huo Zheng.
“I’ve eaten,” Huo Zheng replied as he peeled a boiled egg for her.
Lin Xiaowan ate two mouthfuls of porridge before she blinked and said, “It’ll be even more delicious if there’s fried dough stick…”
Gu Yuwu laughed at her. “You’ve already woken up, but you’re still dreaming…”
Lin Xiaowan puffed her cheeks up angrily while Huo Zheng looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.
Lin Xiaowan was not satisfied with just a bowl. She looked at the lunch box eagerly as Huo Zheng put the small bowl away. Clearly, he had no intention of giving her another bowl. She knew she was in the wrong. After all, she did not pay attention to what she ate and fell sick as a result. For this reason, she did not make a fuss and ask for more.
Gu Yuwu leaned against the bed and said to Lin Xiaowan, “I’ll be going to the western suburbs of Shengjing soon. The film studio wants to film a comedy set in ancient times. Do you want to come with me?”
Lin Xiaowan thought Gu Yuwu wanted her to play some role again so she quickly waved her hand and said, “Ah, no, no. There’ll be too many people watching me.”
“I’m not asking you to act. However, you can try on those wide-sleeved costumes for fun if you want…”
Lin Xiaowan was very interested in this. “Oh, if that’s the case, it’s fine. Since you’re filming an ancient movie, this means we can take photos of the set as well! Let’s take photos there”
“Okay.” Gu Yuwu nodded.
Lin Xiaowan had to stay in the hospital for observation.
Since there was a small kitchen in the suite, Aunt Wu called Huo Zheng, asking if there was a need to send the chef over.
Lin Xiaowan no longer had a fever now. Her stomach still hurt slightly, but the doctor said it was normal. She would be fine after two days.
Huo Zheng wanted to tell Aunt Wu to send the chef over. After all, in his opinion, it was best for Lin Xiaowan to stay in the hospital for another night just to be sure. However, before he could say anything, Lin Xiaowan quickly said, “No, no, I’ll go home and eat.”
In the end, Huo Zheng spoke to the doctor, and after confirming everything was okay, he brought Lin Xiaowan home.
When they were in the car, Lin Xiaowan saw the dark expression on Huo Zheng’s handsome face. She leaned over and kissed his chin before she asked, amused, “President Huo, why are you pulling a long face? Are you angry?”
“I dare not,” Huo Zheng said as he kissed her. Even if he was angry, it would dissipate when faced with her.
Lin Xiaowan was very sensible at this time. She said, “I was wrong this time. Don’t be angry, okay? 1’11 pay attention to what I eat in the future.”
Huo Zheng said in a low voice, “You only know how to act cute in times like this…”
