The sleep was not long, less than three hours, but I felt extremely tired.

After getting up, I just felt sore in my back and waist. At first I thought it was because I couldn’t get used to such a soft new mattress. I went downstairs and was about to complain to Ms. Lin.

Cheng Xinyuan saw my face and immediately screamed, "Sister! Why is your face so red!?"

I subconsciously touched my face. Is it red? I took off my makeup before going to bed, so it shouldn't be that red? Oh, why is my face hot?

I touched my forehead, it was hot...

Qin Luotian also felt something was wrong, so he came over and touched my forehead, frowning: "You have a fever!"

Cheng Xinyuan hurried to Ms. Lin's room to find a thermometer. Yao Yuan helped me sit on a chair and poured me a glass of water.

"How do you feel now?" Qin Luotian asked softly.

"Hmm? I'm fine~ I just felt very groggy, probably not woke up yet..." I said a little confused.

"You're obviously not half asleep. You're sick." Cheng Xinyuan shook the thermometer and asked me to hold it under my armpit.

"Where's my mom?" I looked around and saw that she was nowhere to be found in the store.

"I went out to buy you some food. We ate all the hand-rolled noodles I made for lunch, and didn't leave any for you. I thought you would want to eat some snacks from your hometown after being away from home for a month, so I went to buy some." Cheng Xinyuan touched my face distressedly, "How could you have a fever in this hot summer? It shouldn't be because you've been using the air conditioner for too long..."

"It's already the beginning of autumn, okay~" I muttered, "Besides, I didn't turn on the air conditioner when I went to bed just now, I just used a fan."

"It's almost time, let me check your temperature." Qin Luotian motioned for me to take out the thermometer.

"Fuck! It's over 39 degrees!" Yao Yuan leaned over to take a look and exclaimed.

Not to mention the three of them were shocked, I was also shocked...

Got sick on the first day back home?

Do you want to be so sui...

I was still confused when suddenly my body felt lighter and Cheng Xinyuan picked me up by the waist.

"What?" I asked in panic.

"See a doctor!" His face was gloomy. "What's wrong with your small body? Your school is a place that destroys people!" He turned to Yao Yuan and said, "You stay at home. Luo Tian and I will go. When my mother comes back, you can talk to her!"

"Got it!" Yao Yuan nodded.

"What a cruel place!" I retorted loudly, "I am the only one who can criticize my school. You can't! I just got a scholarship!"

"So what if you get a scholarship! Is it more important than your health?" Cheng Xinyuan held me and walked quickly forward. There was a community clinic behind the commercial street, which could be reached in two minutes.

"I just have a fever and my legs are not lame. Can't I just walk over there by myself?" I said somewhat "complainingly".

"Bullshit! You're still walking when you're so burned? Aren't you afraid of falling down?" Qin Luotian complained.

I took my temperature again at the clinic and it was higher than when I was at home.

The old doctor said in amazement: "There are many people with fever these days, but this is the first time I have seen such a high fever. Come on, open your mouth."

I cooperated by opening my mouth wide and letting out an "ah!". The tongue depressor tasted so bitter that I almost spit it out when it was inserted into my mouth.

The old doctor made the following diagnosis: "Acute upper respiratory tract infection. You must have been through a lot these past few days. You drank alcohol and ate spicy food. You have an irregular work and rest schedule, use the air conditioner a lot, and eat a lot of irritating food..." He sat down and began to write a list. He asked for my name and age. Qin Luotian answered first, and then asked me: "Did you also drink?" Qin Luotian asked.

"Well, I got the scholarship a few days ago, so I celebrated by drinking some beer and eating some fried chicken..." I said guiltily.

"I think there was something wrong with those bugs you ate yesterday!" Cheng Xinyuan snorted coldly.

"Bugs?" The old doctor, who was writing a list, raised his eyes and asked.

Cheng Xinyuan complained: "Well, when I was playing in the city yesterday, I came across a shop selling fried Yunnan insects, and she ate a lot of them!"

"The little girl has a very strange appetite... She just has a weak constitution and low immunity. She needs to take vitamins regularly!" The old doctor wrote as he spoke, "Avoid cold and spicy food these days. Drink plenty of water and eat hot and light food. Forget about grilled or fried food. You have a high fever. It's useless to take medicine alone. I wonder if you should get an injection or an IV drip..."

The old doctor wrote a whole page in a very eloquent manner and handed it to his assistant.

"How big is the needle for an injection?" I was shivering. God knows how much I fear injections.

The assistant girl gestured, "It's about this big~"

"Hang an IV! I want an IV!" I said hastily. If I used the needle she pointed out, my butt would hurt for several days, so I absolutely refused!

I handed the phone to Cheng Xinyuan, "Go pay~"

He didn't answer, "I have!"

"There's a bed in the inner room. Come and lie down. I'll go get you some medicine." The old doctor instructed. "Have you had lunch?"

I shook my head. “I took a nap and woke up like this.”

"Ask your two brothers to get you something to eat. It's not good to get IV drips on an empty stomach. You'll get cold."

"Oh..." I looked at Qin Luotian pitifully, "Brother, I want to eat..."

"No! You don't want to!" he said firmly.

"Eat whatever I bring you! Take care of your health!" Cheng Xinyuan said cheerfully.

I pouted: "My 'emperor' throne is gone...but I have something to eat, doesn't that prove that my illness is not that serious?" I started to find excuses...

"Come on, in a while, you still want to eat a full banquet. Believe it or not, if it's really in front of you, you won't be able to eat a single bite!" said the old doctor, puffing his beard and glaring.

How come you act like an old kid...

Ms. Lin came running towards me, hugged me and cried, "My Lin Lin! Mom didn't take good care of you!"

"Mom... I'm fine... I just have a fever~" I comforted her.

"That's all?! You silly girl! Having a fever is so uncomfortable! That's all!" She tapped my forehead, "Your body is really not good! It's all my fault! I have to take care of you in the next few days!"

"Qing girl, this is your daughter!" The old doctor lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Hey, uncle, why are you here?" Ms. Lin stood up quickly when she saw someone coming. "Aren't you at my second aunt's place in Guangzhou?"

"Oh no!" The old doctor waved his hand. "I really can't get used to the weather in Guangzhou. I've been depressed after seeing people for dampness every day! My hometown is still better! This clinic was short of people, so I came here. I've been here for more than half a year!" He gave me an acupuncture skillfully. "I was saying that this girl looked familiar but I couldn't remember who she was. Now I know that this girl looks exactly like you when you were a child!"

He gave me the injection and patted my head: "Time flies! This child has grown up so much. Girl, you have to call me Grandpa!"

"Hello, Grandpa!" I nodded obediently. This county town is small, and you can find people you know wherever you go. And this person... should be a relative!

"Hello, Grandpa!" Cheng Xinyuan said very loudly.

"Is this your kid?" Grandpa laughed. "He looks like Dai Ping! Great! He looks like a member of our Lin family!"

He looked at Qin Luotian again, "You gave birth to a son and a daughter, right? What is this?"

"Godsons!" Ms. Lin said with a smile, "The children are very good. There are three of them in total! There is also a janitor at home, and another one just went to Guangzhou. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Qin Luotian also called out "Grandpa" obediently.

"Okay! They are all good kids! You have done a great job, Qing girl!" Grandpa patted Ms. Lin's hand.

"What merit do I have?" Ms. Lin laughed. "If my daughter wasn't at home, my family would have been finished long ago!"

As he was speaking, the assistant girl came in with some cash. "They are all our relatives, so we can't accept this money. Come, nephew, take it!" She stuffed the money into Cheng Xinyuan's hand.

Cheng Xinyuan looked at the girl who was about his own age and said, "Nephew?"

"Ah, your mother calls my grandfather uncle, so she is my sister. I don't care what you call your nephew." The little girl smiled very cutely.

"Is this... the one from my aunt's house?" asked Ms. Lin.

"Yes, Sister Qing, I'm Zizi!" The little girl was very familiar with me. Oh no, according to seniority, I should call her aunt.

"Zizi has grown so big!" Ms. Lin smiled from ear to ear. "In my memory, you were still a naked child!"

"Oh! Sister, I'm shy~" Zizi covered her face.

"Come to think of it, these two girls have the same birthday." Grandpa remembered something, "Zi Zi just had her 18th birthday, which is also on July 15th..."

Me who was on an IV drip: What a coincidence!

"Huh? My niece and I have the same birthday! That's great!" Zizi came over and touched my head, "You should take good care of yourself. I'll make you something delicious!"
