Tong Xinyao felt someone touching her, and subconsciously turned over to avoid her hand. "Well~" The sound was difficult to pronounce, so she didn't make a sound, but her expression showed disgust and reluctance.
"Get up first, eat something to cushion your stomach, and then take the medicine." Probably because Tong Xinyao looked like a child, her tone was much gentler.
Tong Xinyao opened her eyes, and her consciousness gradually returned. When she heard Shen Ninghui's rare discussion tone, she had to press forward, "Just sleep a little longer, just five minutes."
Shen Ninghui knew the nature of her urine and just wanted to delay time. In five minutes, there would be another five minutes. He looked at her with a gentle but slightly threatening look and said nothing.
Tong Xinyao blinked her scarlet eyes and said, "It's really only five minutes. It takes time to turn on the computer." Normally, she would stay in bed for ten minutes when she got up in the morning.
Shen Ninghui was so pitiful about her moist eyes and hoarse voice that she compromised, "Just five minutes, the porridge should be cold later."
After Shen Ninghui left, Tong Xinyao gradually regained consciousness. Her head no longer hurt, and her body was no longer so sore, but her throat still hurt. She picked up the phone beside her pillow and started to reply to the messages she missed this afternoon. She didn't know how long it had been since she scrolled through it.
"It's been ten minutes, I can't afford it!" The tone this time was different from ten minutes ago. It was like the tone her father used to wake her up when he was at home during the holidays. It was a non-negotiable urging.
Tong Xinyao immediately sat up and said, "Get up." She happened to be sitting up when Shen Ninghui stood at the door. "My clothes are wet and I need to change them. Help me close the door."
This trick of changing clothes has been tried and tested at home since I was a child. Even though he knew her little thoughts, Shen Ninghui, as a man, couldn't say anything when the girl wanted to change clothes, so he helped her close the door.
After another five minutes, Tong Xinyao slowly came out of the room. What made Shen Ninghui angry was that she came out wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt. Even Shen Ninghui, a healthy person, wore long sleeves.
"Go put on your coat." Shen Ninghui suppressed his anger and omitted what he should have said. In the end, only these few words remained.
"But I'm very hot. You can see I'm sweating." She said and wiped the sweat from her forehead to prove that she was really not cold.
"It was sweating due to taking antipyretic medicine. I had to change into long sleeves without wearing a coat."
Tong Xinyao was too lazy to argue with him, so she put on a sun protection jacket, which was considered a coat.
After putting on her coat, Tong Xinyao walked to the dining table. Shen Ninghui had already served the porridge and divided it into bowls. Although there was minced meat in it, it looked very bland and left people without any appetite.
Like a child, Tong Xinyao reluctantly sat down, her legs still on the side of the chair without going under the table. She twisted her body and used a spoon to scoop up the porridge in the bowl a few times. It was as light as water and was even imported. There is no desire at all.
Shen Ninghui watched her fidgeting but refused to eat, "Eat quickly, it's not hot anymore. It's not good for the stomach when it's cold."
Then just eat a few mouthfuls to save face, treat it like drinking water. She bit the bullet and ate a few spoonfuls. The porridge water scratched her throat and irritated it, making it more painful. It would have been nice if the porridge had a taste, but the key was that it had no taste at all. It was truly "hard to swallow".
She raised her head and looked at Shen Ninghui with her moist eyes. At this time, he was eating with his head down. After feeling Tong Xinyao's fiery gaze, he raised his head in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't taste good. Can you add some salt? I need to replenish electrolytes if I sweat."
"Don't eat it too salty. I've already added salt, and the meat has been marinated with salt. It tastes good when I eat it." Shen Ninghui took a few more bites in front of her, savoring it over and over again with his taste buds. It tasted more than just delicious. , it’s already a bit salty, “It has a taste, maybe the fever has affected your sense of taste, so you can’t add any more salt.”
Tong Xinyao pouted, "Okay."
She picked up the bowl, thinking that drinking it quickly would make it less painful. After just two sips, the strong pain in her throat stimulated her nerves, and she couldn't drink anymore. She looked at Shen Ninghui again with pitiful eyes.
"what happened again?"
"My throat hurts so much, I can't swallow it, and I don't want to eat it."
"Does it really hurt that much?" Shen Ninghui was extra patient with her today.
"Really." Tears were already welling up in his eyes, as if they were about to overflow in the next second.
"The inflammation has not gone away, and the fever will come back. Just hold on and eat more. You will need to take anti-inflammatory and anti-viral drugs later. Don't go on an empty stomach."
"Then can I just finish this bowl and stop eating?" It's really uncomfortable to discuss it even if you don't have the confidence. Her bowl is not small, so after eating it, you won't be considered empty stomach.
Shen Ninghui looked at her bowl, then at her pitiful look, and agreed, "Okay."
Tong Xinyao wrapped her legs under the table, took a deep breath, and made a quick decision. She picked up the bowl and drank it down. As long as she was quick enough, her throat would not hurt in time.
Shen Ninghui watched her movements, worried that she would choke, "Hey, slow down."
The bowl of porridge was finally finished. Eating was like being tortured. Tong Xinyao took out a piece of paper and wiped her mouth. "I've finished eating. You can eat slowly and don't be in a hurry."
"Well, take some medicine after resting for a while."
"knew."
There was nothing else to do, so he put his elbows on the dining table, dragged his face, and "appreciated" Shen Ninghui's porridge without blinking. Although Tong Xinyao opposite had finished eating, Shen Ninghui still ate leisurely.
I usually devour food with him, but I have never "appreciated" his food so carefully. How did he manage to eat such a tasteless thing so decently and elegantly?
Shen Ninghui felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, "Why are you staring at me like this?"
"It's nothing. I'm really sorry for you. You have to take care of me as a patient when you have a rare break. It's equivalent to changing your duty in another place and eating this kind of sick meal with me. You should make something delicious yourself, and then I can smell the fragrance. ." Maybe you can even sneak a piece or two.
"Hahaha, it's good that you know. But it's better than you think. As long as you sleep all day long, no one needs to care about it. I just need to make sure that you are still alive every once in a while. As for this porridge, I usually cook it on weekends. Eat porridge, it’s light and doesn’t make you angry, how good it is.”
Although she said that, Tong Xinyao knew that it was not easy at all for him to run around today, buying medicine for her, making porridge for her, and worrying about her condition. "I only knew that you had a good temper before, but I didn't expect that you were quite good-tempered." You know how to take care of people, why are you so good?"
"Haha, you think I think so. You live next door to me, and you even let me know that you have a fever. I'll let you fend for yourself and my mother won't cut me off."
"You are tough, but you obviously care about me."
Tong Xinyao's compliment made him uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the subject, "Are you going back to training tomorrow?"
