Chapter 1763: Younger Generation Extra (30): Cuddling, Fever Relief, Cohabitation Vibes
Yi Garden
Jiang Ruan was taking her temperature, while observing Yan Chi out of the corner of her eye, pondering how to make him leave.
"It’s almost done, show me the thermometer." Yan Chi reached out, and Jiang Ruan handed him the thermometer. He glanced at it, "38.6 degrees, a bit of a fever, I’ll go buy you some medicine, you should rest for a while."
"Actually... I can have Qi Lie come over instead."
Yan Chi held the thermometer, raising his eyes to glance at the person opposite him.
"Then I’ll call him to see if he can come."
Jiang Ruan didn’t expect Yan Chi to react this way, but she thought, with her relationship with Qi Lie, he wouldn’t be so disloyal.
Yan Chi made the call on speakerphone.
Qi Lie had been home for over half an hour, wearing pajamas and slippers, with his fluffy Little Juanmao hairstyle. As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into his father.
"Why are you dressed like that?" Qi Zeyan frowned, wondering what kind of appearance it was.
"Just... going out for a spin." Qi Lie couldn’t say he was going out to spy.
"Wearing pajamas, what kind of image is this? At least pay attention to your appearance."
Qi Lie didn’t get any gossip, got a talking-to from his father, fell onto the bed, prepared to sleep. After partying all night with high school friends and rushing around all morning, he was exhausted to the point of fainting, but as soon as he closed his eyes, his phone vibrated again, making him jump up angrily.
Seeing who was calling, he was bewildered again.
Taking a deep breath, he answered the call, "Mr. Xiaoyan, what is it now?"
"Ruan Ruan is sick, she doesn’t want me to take care of her, she wants you to come."
Jiang Ruan was stunned, Qi Lie was dumbfounded.
Qi Lie was going crazy, what’s wrong with these two, they like each other, isn’t spending time together great?
He suspected, were they intentionally showing off their affection, to mess with him? Why should he be the third wheel when they are together, and most importantly...
Qi Lie thought Jiang Ruan was totally unreliable!
She had just asked him to pick her up, but what did she do? She ran off with another guy.
Was she playing with him?
Was Qi Lie someone who comes and goes at others’ beck and call? Plus, she had been riding a motorbike so boldly before, and now it’s not long after, how could she be sick? He didn’t believe it.
So he decisively refused, "I can’t take care of anyone, I’m sick too."
"You’re sick too? Is it serious?" Yan Chi asked softly.
"My brain is sick, needs rest." He hung up after speaking.
He had already been rushing around for these two all morning, spuriously being bothered; no way he was stepping out again.
If he did go out again, then he truly was sick in the mind.
Jiang Ruan probably didn’t expect her childhood friend would be so unconcerned about her health, rejecting her so completely.
Yan Chi looked at Jiang Ruan, "Is there anyone else who can take care of you? If you can find someone, I will leave when they arrive."
Jiang Ruan pressed her lips together, staying silent.
"Then you rest here, wait for me, don’t run around, I’ll go out and buy medicine for you." Yan Chi stood with his phone, "Anything else you’d like to eat? I can bring it back for you."
Jiang Ruan shook her head, inwardly annoyed at Qi Lie’s unreliability.
After Yan Chi left, Jiang Ruan called intending to give him a piece of her mind, but his phone was turned off.
So Jiang Ruan dialed Qi Zhiyi by accident.
Qi Lie turned off his phone wanting to sleep properly, but as soon as his head hit the pillow, someone knocked at the door.
"Brother."
"What’s up?" Having rushed around all morning, not getting any gossip, scolded by his father when he got back, he was angry inside, but he wouldn’t vent on his sister, instead responding kindly as he got up to open the door, "What is it?"
Qi Zhiyi held up her phone, "Sister Xiaoruan is looking for you, she said your phone is off."
"Just say I’m dead."
With that, he shut the door with a bang—
These two must be his ancestors, trying all sorts of ways to mess with him.
**
Jiang Ruan had feelings for Yan Chi, otherwise how could she tolerate his intimacy several times; but this place was too unsafe, too close to their house, easily exposed, plus being alone with a man and a woman...
How could she not be anxious?
Thinking back to the kiss in the garage, she touched her forehead, it was hot.
Could a single kiss really have given her a fever?
Although Jiang Ruan had spent time alone with him, it wasn’t in such an environment; anxious, filled with panic, she felt her consciousness growing fuzzier, originally just feeling a bit weak, wanting to lean on the sofa for a nap...
When Yan Chi returned, he rang the doorbell twice with no response, only then recalling her password-entering he had seen earlier; she hadn’t covered it up while entering, Yan Chi glanced, then turned his head away, recalling roughly two or three digits, luckily unlocking the door on the third attempt.
