Yan Rui’s lips were pale and his face wrinkled: «Do I have to take medicine?»
He still stayed at the time when he drank the Chinese medicine and the smell makes you not have appetite, from the bitterness in his mouth to the stomach churning.
Song Qi went straight to pour a glass of water. The water in the kettle was from yesterday but it was still hot.
He opened the medicine packet, inside were the pills prepared by the doctor. There were about seven or eight pills mixed together.
«It must be eaten.» Song Qi couldn’t see Yan Rui’s pitiful appearance. After speaking seriously, he coaxed patiently, «Don’t worry that it’s not bitter.»
Yan Rui was in a state of lack of energy, looked timidly at him, staring at his face for a while and then at the pill in his hand.
There was doubt on his face: «How can medicine not be bitter?»
If it were not for the wrong timing, Song Qi would be laughing because of him, this little fool was too cute.
Song Qi raised his hand, handed the medicine before his eyes and said, «This yellow medicine is not bitter.»
Yan Rui took it over, stretched out his tongue and licked it cautiously. A hint of sweetness was transmitted to the tip of his tongue.
Those big dim eyes lit up just like fireworks burst through the night.
Yan Rui blinked and looked at the medicine in his hand with surprise: «There are really sweet medicines.»
«See, I didn’t lie to you.» Song Qi raised his eyebrows to look at him, and urged, «Hurry up and take medicine, so that your illness can heal quickly.»
Yan Rui picked out four of the white tablets and put them in his mouth and as soon as the tablets got wet, the bitterness started to ooze out.
Seeing him frowning, Song Qi quickly handed over the water: «Hurry up and drink water.»
His esophagus is small, to swallow the pills even with a whole glass of water and some still remained.
The bitter taste of the pill stuck in the throat, unable to go up and down, slowly turning into a thick bitterness.
With his stomach churning, Yan Rui couldn’t help but retched. Thinking that Song Qi was still here, he immediately covered his mouth and looked at him pale.
If Duan Chen was here, he would be scolded again when he saw him like this.
Ricking in front of people was very impolite. He glanced at Song Qi secretly, fearing that he would scold him like Achen but Song Qi poured him a glass of water as if he hadn’t seen it. Softly sighing: «Drink some water and swallow it, so do you, how can you swallow so many medicines at once? It’s suffering now.»
Yan Rui quickly swallowed two more gulps and the pill that was stuck in his throat was finally swallowed down.
«Thanks.»
«Don’t thank me yet, you still haven’t finished the medicine yet.» Song Qi reminded him, staring at his hand.
Yan Rui looked at the three yellow pills left in his palm, hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
«Are you afraid of bitterness and don’t want to eat anymore?»
Yan Rui still shook his head, and replied obediently, «This medicine is not bitter.»
«Then why don’t you eat it?» Song Qi looked at him puzzled.
«Reluctant.»
Song Qi was taken aback, half sad and half funny.
Sure enough, he is a fool, and his thinking isn’t what normal people could understand.
Yan Rui explained: «It’s sweet, I can’t bear to eat it.» He hadn’t tasted sweet for a long time, bitterness lasted too long that the taste of sweetness was long forgotten by him.
The last time he ate candies, it seemed to be something in my previous life.
He would never forget the bunch of sugar-coated candied haws.
Song Qi felt like his heart was being grasped by a hand, it was painful, and in a moment the soreness spread all over his body, even his nose was slightly sore.
He opened his mouth like a thorn deep in his throat.
He thought he was pitiful enough, but he didn’t expect Yan Rui to be more pitiful than him.
Yan Rui closed his hand and released it again. The palm of his hand was smeared with yellow. He frowned, as if he didn’t know what to do, he was at a loss.
«What’s the matter?» Song Qi asked worriedly.
«The medicine melted.»
Song Qi tried to suppress his trembling voice and said, «Hurry up, this medicine is only sweet on the outside, and now it will become bitter after it has melted.»
Yan Rui showed a regretful expression.
Song Qi smiled softly: «You take medicine obediently, and I will buy you sweets tomorrow.»
Yan Rui refused: «No, sugar will be addictive if you eat too much, I’m afraid…»
He was afraid that once he tasted the sweetness, he would not endure the bitterness.
Yan Rui put the medicine into his mouth, and sure enough, the medicine without that layer of sugar was much more bitter than ordinary medicine.
Yan Rui drank two more glasses of water in his belly, and the dizziness came back after taking the medicine.
«Go to bed now. If you get up tomorrow and are still with fever, you must go to the hospital.»
Yan Rui only felt dizziness in his mind and nodded without paying attention to Song Qi’s words.
Song Qi tucked the quilt for him and turned around to wash after watching him close his eyes and fall asleep.
After getting into bed, he saw Yan Rui was still trembling in bed.
Song Qi felt softhearted, got up again, plugged in the warm water bag, waited for it to heat up, and put his hands in Yan Rui’s quilt gently.
As if feeling the temperature, Yan Rui leaned over while trembling, consciously holding the warm water bag in his hand, and leaned over his face, sleeping peacefully.
Seeing that he finally stopped trembling, Song Qi went to bed at ease.
After a busy day, it is now one o’clock in the morning, and I didn’t feel tired before, but as soon as I touched the pillow, I fell asleep without dreaming all night.
……….
The next day, noon.
Song Qi was awake from hunger, and when he woke up, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Rui’s direction.
The sleeping posture was still the same as last night, curled up with a hot water bag, his head covered by the quilt and only exposing some hairs.
Song Qi jumped out of bed, walked to Yan Rui’s bedside, quietly lifted the quilt and touched his forehead.
It wans’t hot anymore. It seems that the medicine he bought was effective and the fever subsided in one night.
It was just that his hands were still cold, just like a snake (tn: not discriminating but snakes are low temperature animals).
Yan Rui tightened his brows, his eyelids twiched and then he opened his eyes.
Seeing Song Qi in front of him, he was taken aback for a moment before reacting, he had been driven out by Duan Chen.
The loss that flashed in his eyes could not escape Song Qi’s eyes, and he laughed: «Are you not happy to see me?»
«No… No.» Yan Rui shook his head and hands again, hurriedly, just like a child who did something wrong and was caught on the spot.
«Then… down because you don’t see the person you wanted to see?»
Yan Rui clearly felt that his chest was a little stuffy, and his heart became a little heavier and every time it beat, a stirring pain invaded his body.
He couldn’t help but reached out and rubbed his chest.
Seeing his actions, Song Qi knew that he was right.
If you think of a person while showing that kind of expression, it should probably be your sweetheart.
Song Qi did not continue to question him.
«Do you feel better today? Is your head still dizzy? Is your throat sore? Are there any discomforts?»
A series of questions were thrown at Yan Rui, which made him confused. It took him half of the payment to sort out. One by one, he answered: «I am all right, my head isn’t dizzy and my throat isn’t sore. Thank you for last night.»
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Song Qi seldomly saw Yan Rui smile. He smiled while arching the brows, dimples on both sides of his cheeks that seemed to be filled with honey and made people sink into it.
Those phrases used to praise a person’s appearance seemed to be prepared for him, even for him, a big/macho man couldn’t help but feel itchy in his heart.
