After leaving the company, he made a call to the mansion. He hoped that Huo Lianqing had gone back home, but his wife told him that she hadn't come back yet. She didn't even make a phone call. An Bowen put down the phone and frowned slightly. He used his hand to tug at his tie, but at this moment, he felt that his breathing was blocked and his entire body was uncomfortable.

Originally, he didn't have any social contacts, so he directly went to Zhou Junchi's bar. Zhou Junchi wasn't here. An Bowen was a little disappointed as he sat there drinking two cups of wine before calling Zhou Junchi.

"Where are you?" An Bowen's voice contained a hint of impatience. Zhou Junchi had been his good friend for many years. One could tell that he wasn't in a good mood.

"What's wrong with you? Shall I have a drink with you? " Zhou Junchi teased.

"You? Save it! " Ambrose mocked.

"What happened to you today? In my bar? " Listening to the background music, Zhou Jiaquan could already tell what was going on.

"I'll wait for you!" With that, he hung up the phone, while Zhou Junchi stared blankly at the phone.

He hung up and said to himself, It's just a woman, no need to care so much. But another voice inside him said, But I care about her.

After dinner, Huo Lianqing was able to bring her laptop to the outer room and surf the internet with He Jingran. While watching the interesting video on the potato, they chatted.

"Where are your parents? Isn't it here? " Huo Lianqing had always thought that there couldn't be a second person like her in this world.

"They're all gone." He Jingran's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly tensed up. Huo Lianqing could see that he was in a mood to talk, so she changed the topic.

"Do you live here every day and do nothing? "What do you live on?"

He Jingran smiled and reached for his guitar.

"This?" Are you going to play the guitar for money? " Huo Lianqing looked at him in surprise.

"Wah!" "You're so handsome!" At this moment, Huo Lianqing had completely recovered her appearance as a young girl. She was filled with joy, anger, and sorrow. She had never felt so satisfied with her life since she was 15 years old. Despite living in such a run-down house, eating instant noodles and pretending to be a couple to buy discount bedding, she felt like she was living a carefree life.

"Handsome? Sometimes there's no food, and few people like my guitar. " He Jingran calmly said.

"I like it! I'm your fan, I like your guitar! "Be more open-minded and don't give up. One day, you will definitely succeed." Huo Lianqing smiled and said while patting He Jingran on the shoulder. There was a doting look in He Jingran's eyes as he smiled happily at Huo Lianqing.

The two of them got along quite well. It was only after Huo Lianqing yawned a few times did they go back to their room to sleep. However, the heavens didn't want her to be beautiful. She just lied down and was struck by lightning. Huo Lianqing had just fallen asleep when she felt something cool on her head. Rain dripped onto the bed, and the He Jingran outside wasn't much better off either. When Huo Lianqing came out in her pajamas, He Jingran had already rolled up the bedding on the floor.

"It's raining heavily outside, what should we do?" She couldn't wait for the rain to subside. She looked at He Jingran and asked.

He took out an umbrella from the table and walked out. Huo Lianqing knew what he was going to do, so she called out to him.

"I'll go with you." Huo Lianqing took over He Jingran's umbrella. He Jingran wanted to stop her, but Huo Lianqing held onto her umbrella tightly. He Jingran lifted a wooden ladder from the corner of the outer room. Huo Lianqing followed him all the way outside. It was raining heavily, and it was occasionally accompanied by thunder and lightning. Huo Lianqing was holding an umbrella for him. He Jingran placed the ladder on top of the roof and climbed up it step by step. Huo Lianqing wanted to follow him up and help him hold the umbrella for her.

"Don't go up, you'll fall down." As He Jiran spoke, he climbed up to the roof step by step. The heavy rain rolled down the bead curtain, and very quickly, He Jingran's clothes were all soaked. As they stuck to his body, it made him appear even thinner. Huo Lianqing held her umbrella as she anxiously waited. It was only after a long time that he finally descended the ladder.

His face was a bit pale. Huo Lianqing reached out to help him up, otherwise she thought he would faint. His hand was very cold. Huo Lianqing could feel him trembling all over, and his face was very pale. Huo Lianqing helped him carry the ladder back. Then she quickly got a bowl of ginger soup for him to drink. The gauze on his head was completely drenched, so she was worried that it would cause infection.

Although there was no medicine here, he still had to deal with the wound. Huo Lianqing took out a dry towel and slowly took off the bandage on his head. The wound had indeed been pulled open. Fresh blood stained the gauze, because the gauze inside was not completely drenched yet dry. The gauze and the flesh were joined together, causing a tug at it which was a heart-wrenching pain.

Huo Lianqing could feel his body trembling as she moved. She tried her best to be careful not to hurt him by removing the gauze. Huo Lianqing found the acetaminophen in his drawer. Although it was a bit wrong, it was better than not being treated like this. Using a spoon, he powdered the medicine, then slowly applied it to the bleeding place of the medicine. (TL: OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG After using a clean towel to wrap the wound again, Huo Lianqing's slightly wet clothes had dried up.

She was washing some gauze beside the pool. He Jingran was sitting there, his face still pale.

"Thank you." He Jingran's voice trembled slightly.

"We are roommates. We should take care of each other." Huo Lianqing said with a smile.

She was worried that He Jingran would have a fever in the middle of the night, so when he lay down, she secretly covered him with her blanket. He frowned, as if he was lying there very weak. His eyes were half open, perhaps because he was extremely weak.

Huo Lianqing found a heavy cotton coat from her luggage and draped it over her shoulders before sitting beside him. Indeed, He Jingran had developed a high fever in the middle of the night. His face was flushed red, and his dry lips were pale.

Huo Lianqing, who was sitting beside him, could feel his terrifying temperature. She immediately retracted her hand when she touched him. The rain outside was still falling. If it continued to burn, who knew what would happen? Huo Lianqing tried to wake him up and take him to the hospital, but he was already feverish and was spouting nonsense.

Because there was a wound on his forehead, Huo Lianqing could only wipe his face and arms with a wet towel. The wet towel touched his skin, as if stopping his thirst in time. Huo Lianqing placed the spoon into his mouth little by little, and his frown slowly disappeared. He stopped talking nonsense, and his expression gradually returned to its normal calm state as he fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Huo Lianqing heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally made it through this trial. He gently put his arm under the blanket. His arm was very thin, almost enough to see the tiny blood vessels. The rain outside gradually lessened, and the room was no longer dripping. He was sleeping soundly. Even though his face was still pale, his fever had subsided.

Huo Lianqing tossed and turned throughout the night, feeling extremely exhausted. She fell asleep while leaning against the wall while wearing her clothes. When He Jingran woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. The sunlight shone through the glass onto her face, coating it with a faint layer of gold.

He Jiran moved a little and felt as if her entire body had fallen apart. There were two quilts covering her body, but she was only wearing a single piece of clothing. Leaning against the wall, she fell asleep. He Jingran quietly got up and wrapped the blanket around her. Feeling the warmth around her, Huo Lianqing felt even sleepier. He turned his soft body to the back and allowed her to lie down. Then, he covered her with the blanket and gently walked outside.

When Huo Lianqing woke up, it was already noon. She sat up and rubbed her eyes as her mouth turned dry.

"What are you doing?" Huo Lianqing saw He Jingran standing there. He was stirring the pot with a spoon and the room was filled with a burnt smell.
