Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 1018 The Reserved Academic Genius vs. the Sweet Girl (10)

The hospital lights were very bright. Xiao Yi had an IV needle in the back of his hand, and the IV drip was slowly dripping down. His face was still pale from illness.

Shen Shuyi pushed the door open and entered, reaching out to pull out the small table on the folding bed and placing it steadily in front of Xiao Yi, her movements gentle and meticulous.

"That shop doesn't have wontons, so I packed you some lean pork congee and steamed dumplings."

She opened the lid, and the delicate aroma of lean meat porridge wafted out.

Xiao Yi quickly stood up. "I'm not picky about food, I'll do it."

Shen Shuyi pressed him back down, "Your fever is quite high this time, the doctor told you to rest well."

"You still have an IV drip in your hand, let me feed you."

Xiao Yi quickly refused, "Just put it in front of me, I can eat it with one hand."

Shen Shuyi smiled, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and said, "You don't need to feel embarrassed, since it's just the two of us in this room anyway."

"How about this, next time if I get sick, you can feed me too, okay?"

Xiao Yi felt that the fever, which had just subsided, had now returned.

In the moment of his stunned silence, he opened his mouth and ate the porridge that was brought to his lips.

Xiao Yi swallowed slightly, his gaze unconsciously rising and meeting Shen Shuyi's eyes.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Shen Shuyi's fingertips paused slightly, her drooping eyelashes trembled, and what was clearly just a normal feeding action was imbued with a sticky warmth by this silent eye contact.

Xiao Yi gazed at him quietly, with a rare gentleness that was unusual for someone ill.

The feeding slowed down, and neither of them spoke, but their eyes remained fixed on each other for a long time.

The warm aroma of porridge enveloped their close breaths, and the atmosphere subtly fermented, a faint yet restrained ambiguity slowly spreading in the quiet ward.

After Shen Shuyi finished feeding him a bowl of porridge, she suddenly heard a system notification.

[Host, Xiao Yi's favorability towards you has suddenly increased dramatically! It's reached 80%!]
[Dear host, why don't you smile?]
Shen Shuyi felt inexplicably sad. "I just accompanied him to get an IV drip and fed him a bowl of porridge, and his affection for me skyrocketed."

"66, don't you think Xiao Yi is a little pitiful?"

"It's just that I'm very lacking in love."

[That would be perfect! If you treat him just a little bit better, he'll give you 100% affection!]
Shen Shuyi sighed, "I didn't mean to use such methods to complete the mission; I genuinely wanted to be good to him."

"After all, Xiao Yi has been very good to me, it's mutual."

She is now playing the role of a dim-witted, underachieving rich girl. Xiao Yi is very patient with her. If she doesn't understand a problem the first time, he will explain it again. If she still doesn't understand, he will try other methods to teach her until she understands.

She also discovered that Xiao Yi would secretly follow her on his bicycle every time, only leaving after seeing her safely board the bus.

Then, they would get back to the vicinity of the villa area before the bus arrived at the station, so they could pick her up the moment she got off the bus.

She couldn't help but be moved by such a sincere boy.

Xiao Yi received an IV drip at the hospital, took a nap, and was discharged to go home.

During this time, Shen Shuyi sat beside him and reviewed her lessons.

When Xiao Yi opened his eyes and saw her, he was a little embarrassed. "Shuyi, why haven't you gone back yet?"

Shen Shuyi laughed, "How could I leave a patient alone in the hospital?"

"Let's get tested. Once the fever goes down, we'll go home."

"Let me tell you, your grandparents found out you were sick, so they specially made you some soup. Come to my house for dinner later!"

Xiao Yi took the thermometer and felt his heart burning even hotter, unable to utter a word of refusal.

"it is good."

Shen Shuyi brought Xiao Yi home, and her parents were extremely distressed. If Xiao Yi hadn't been sick, they would have definitely been piling food onto his plate.

Xiao Yi hadn't eaten with so many people for a long time; he usually ate alone.
"What are you spacing out for, Yi-ge? Have some soup."

"This chicken soup is very fragrant and not greasy at all."

When Xiao Yi met Shen Shuyi's clear eyes, his heart suddenly felt as if it were filled with something.

Thank you.

"You're welcome." Shen Shuyi's eyes crinkled into a smile.

After eating, Xiao Yi went back to rest. The old lady told him to come over for dinner tomorrow, and that he should at least be fully recovered before he could cook for himself.

He even directly told the old man that if he didn't come, he would deliver it to him personally.

Xiao Yi chuckled and quickly nodded in agreement.

That evening, Shen Shuyi took a shower and lay in bed. She picked up her phone and texted Xiao Yi, asking him how he was feeling.

The other side replied very quickly.

[The fever didn't return, and I took the medicine and went to sleep.]
[Thank you for accompanying me to the hospital today.]
Shen Shuyi smiled as she stared at the reply.

Why is this guy suddenly so talkative, and his tone is so gentle? Shen Shuyi typed a reply, "That's good, you should get some rest!"

"Also, you don't need to thank me. I already consider you my older brother! It's only right to help each other out."

Xiao Yi sat on the bed in his pajamas, staring at Shen Shuyi's reply.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

She considered herself an older brother.
It's just about helping each other out.

If someone else tutored her, would she treat that person just as well?

I will take him to the hospital and feed him porridge.

Will care whether he is comfortable or not
Xiao Yi took the medicine, which was supposed to help him sleep and make him drowsy.

However, he had trouble sleeping.

Fortunately, the next day was Saturday, so he could rest at home; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to go to school in his condition.

He finally drifted off to sleep in the early hours of the morning.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but in his hazy state, he heard the doorbell ring.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes; it was broad daylight.

The doorbell was still ringing, and so was my cell phone.

Xiao Yi picked up his phone and saw that it was Shen Shuyi calling. He quickly answered the call, and a girl's anxious voice came from the other end.

"Brother Yi, you finally answered the phone. I thought something had happened to you. I rang the doorbell but no one answered."

"Sorry, I overslept." Xiao Yi's voice was hoarse as he got up to open the door.

Shen Shuyi noticed the boy's languid eyes beneath his tousled hair and his pale complexion. She asked worriedly, "Has your fever returned?"

You don't look well.

She reached out to touch Xiao Yi's forehead.

Xiao Yi instinctively dodged away, then bent down and leaned in to apply it to her.

Shen Shuyi's slightly cool hand touched his forehead. "Huh, it's not hot."

"Come on, let's go inside and take your temperature with a thermometer."

Xiao Yi stepped aside to let the girl into his house, saying, "The thermometer is in my bedroom."

Despite having known each other for so long, this was the first time Shen Shuyi had entered his room.

Xiao Yi's room was excessively simple, yet very large, with a desk and glossy silver-gray bedding.

Perhaps he got up too quickly and the bedding wasn't folded properly.

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll go wash up and then take your temperature again."

“Okay.” Shen Shuyi sat down at his desk and saw that there were several math olympiad books on his desk.

She flipped through the pages, then turned to look at the boy who was washing up in the bathroom.

He seems to have grown quite a bit taller; he's only a senior in high school, but he looks to be about 1.8 meters tall.

When Xiao Yi came out, there was still some water on his forehead. He smoothed his hair up and picked up the thermometer from the bedside table.

"Shuyi, what do you want from me?"

Shen Shuyi followed him out of the room, and she pointed to the food box on the dining table.

"I'm bringing you breakfast."

"These are small wontons, made by my grandma herself. They taste really good."

Xiao Yi smiled, "It's very good, I've had it before."

During that time, his grandparents passed away, and the two elders of the Xiang family took pity on him and brought him meals every day.

He will never forget this kindness.

Shen Shuyi sat down, resting her chin on her hand as she watched him eat breakfast. "Brother Yi, what are you planning to do later? Do you want to catch up on your sleep?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore, I'll read a book in a bit."

Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up. "Can I bring my homework over to do? I can ask you if I don't understand something!"

"Okay." Xiao Yi nodded.

Shen Shuyi looked into his eyes and suddenly said, "Brother Yi, your eyes are so beautiful."

"Like stars."

Whether she's smiling or not, she's deep and beautiful.

Xiao Yi's ears turned red instantly after being praised by her.
