Chapter 8: High Fever

Song Ran spun around and was about to leave when she felt a tug on her hand. “Ran, I’m fine, really. I’ll feel better after I get some sleep.”

Song Ran furrowed her brows at him. “Gu Jinghang, I want you to take good care of yourself, do you understand?”

He passed away in his fifties, which was considered early. He must not have been taking good care of himself.

Gu Jinghang was stunned once again. Is Song Ran sick too? He never expected such kind and gentle treatment coming from her like this.

While Gu Jinghang was still trying to put two and two together, Song Ran was already walking out of the door.

The bright brilliance from the moon cast a soft glow on everything outside. The vast quiet yard was filled with the sounds of Song Ran dragging her feet in Gu Jinghang’s oversized slippers as she rushed to the other four-story dormitory next to his.

Inside the adjacent dormitory, it was pitch dark around her. She noticed that the corridor was installed with motion sensor lights. Song Ran stomped her feet to get a light to turn on. There were four units in one story, and Song Ran was thinking of where to start.

She crept quietly to one that was nearest to her and placed her ears on the door. Silence.

Song Ran took the pills and thanked them as she walked off.

The woman pulled her back and said, “I bet he doesn’t have any warm water in his room, right?”

Song Ran nodded in a dazed manner. “I... I think so.”

It was widely known that men did not like to drink hot water all year round. What was the possibility they would have any hot water laying around in the summer?

The woman returned to her room again. In no time, she drew the curtain and carried a thermal flask with a peony flower on the cap. With that, she walked to Song Ran. “Get him to drink some hot water and sweat it out. He’s fit. I’m sure he will be back in shape in no time.”

Song Ran took the flask and thanked her kindly before leaving.

The man grumbled softly, “Didn’t that little girlfriend of Team Leader Gu often go about ignoring him? We all said she was like a proud peacock, and we were egging him to upgrade to a more gentle girl.”

The woman gave him a soft punch. “Never persuade a couple to break up. Don’t you dare say such things again, you hear?”

“Okay, got it.”

Song Ran brought the tablets and hot water back to Gu Jinghang’s room in a rush. Back in the room, she poured a glass of water and placed it on a square stool beside the bed. Then she reached out and shook Gu Jinghang, who was still asleep.
