Chapter 107: Burning
"Maybe you just liked me when I was broke because it made you feel good about yourself."

"Are you joking?"

"No."

In the dim living room where a movie was being shown, Shen Juan was silently observing Zhou Ye's facial expressions and reactions beside him, and felt that something was not right with her today.

Although she would occasionally put away the smile on her face and be quiet for a while when she was tired from playing or felt shy, she was particularly silent today.

Was it because she was so emotionally invested in the film, or was it because she wasn’t feeling well today?
Shen Juan moved closer with curiosity and worry, getting close to her face which was slightly flushed unnaturally. Her long, soft black hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, and the fresh and pleasant scent of shampoo was refreshing.

Zhou also noticed Shen Juan's movements beside him, and blinked at him in confusion, with an unnatural expression.

"What's wrong, Juanjuan?" The voice was soft, like a sick kitten whispering in your ear.

In the past, Shen Juan might have thought she was cute, but now he frowned and asked in a serious tone, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Ye instinctively wanted to be tough and not let Shen Juan worry about her, but for some reason, she didn't choose to lie to Shen Juan in the end. She honestly lowered her eyes and whispered: "Well, I felt a little dizzy when I got up this morning. It might be a cold and fever, but it's not serious, it's okay."

"Having a cold and a fever is no small matter." Shen Juan placed the back of his hand on the girl's forehead. After confirming that she did have a fever, he could not help but advise her in a gentle voice, "If you feel unwell, don't travel far. It's so cold outside. What if your condition gets worse?"

As a time traveler who had experienced an era of control by righteousness, he paid special attention to any minor injuries and illnesses.

Your mom, he was forced to be quarantined in a hotel for seven days because there was a sheep in the hotel where he stayed.

It's all at your own expense, please send it.
"I know, but I just wanted to come and see you." Zhou Ye glanced at Shen Juan with a somewhat misty look, and defended himself softly with grievance.

"Then you can tell me, and I can come to the school to find you." Shen Juan's mood was inevitably a little complicated.

“But can a top star really hang out with a girl on a university campus without being discovered?”

Shen Juan was silent, because there was no way to deny this statement. Death in the spotlight is the default rule for traffic stars in love, and Yang Yang is the representative of this school.

Netizens say that he is a coward, but he is just making the best choice for himself and his company team.

Since they are not aiming for marriage when they are in love, they naturally won't feel sad or worried about breaking up.

Although Shen Juan didn't like his ruthless and innocent behavior, if the same thing happened to him, he might not be able to come up with a win-win solution or a clear answer at this moment.

First question the wool, then understand the wool.

In order not to become Yang Mao or even surpass Yang Mao, he can only be extra careful, trying not to let his career development be affected or to prevent them from getting hurt.

The fighting power of fans, especially the top fans, is so strong that Shen Juan would not be surprised at any crazy behavior they might do offline once they know that their sister-in-law is a powerless "amateur".

Because many fans in the circle are themselves the spokespersons for extreme ideas and cannot be viewed with ordinary people's eyes.

"So, I have to come find you. If you come find me and get discovered, won't you be completely doomed?"

Zhou Ye lowered his head slightly, his clear eyes showing no obvious emotion. After a pause, his voice became softer, yet his tone was unusually firm.

"And I also know that you, Juanjuan, have a special status and there are some things you can't do, so you really don't have to think too much. I'm also very happy to be with you, so it doesn't matter if I give more."

Looking at the girl in front of him who always cares about him, for a moment, Shen Juan felt that the soft string deep in his heart seemed to be touched by her.

Warmth and emotion gradually rippled in my heart.

So he was silent for a long time before calming down. He turned around and looked seriously at the girl in front of him with a faint smile on her face, and said solemnly:
"I don't like making promises, but if promises can make you feel at ease, then... Although the current situation does require you to take the initiative repeatedly, I will also do my best to respond to you."

Nor could a stronger promise be made.

But many times, what girls really need is not anything else but a simple attitude.

"In that case, today's lunch will be left to you. I want to eat a lot and replenish my body!" Zhou Ye raised his head again and smiled brightly at Shen Juan, with a happy and sweet light in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Okay, but I may have to go to the supermarket again. There is no food at home." Shen Juan laughed silently.

"Go back quickly!"

"Yeah." Shen Juan got up from the sofa, then turned into the bedroom, took out a bunch of various things from the bedside table and placed them on the coffee table in front of Zhou Ye.

"We don't have a temperature gun at home, only a thermometer. You should know how to take a temperature, right? And these are common cold medicines, both in granules and capsules. I'll boil a pot of hot water for you later and you can take them directly. And these are antipyretics, but don't take them if you don't have a high fever. If you can't make up your mind, wait until I come back."

"Do you think I'm a child? How is it possible that I can't even use a thermometer?" Although Zhou Ye was complaining, there was a bright smile on his face.

"I thought only children would go on a long trip in freezing weather when they knew they were feeling unwell and might have a fever."

"What's the saying on the Internet? Love makes people childish." Zhou Ye explained with a smile.

Shen Juan was stunned: "Do you know what love is?"

“I don’t understand, but it is precisely because I don’t understand that I have to try hard to experience it from you, Juanjuan!”

For unprecedented and inexplicable reasons, Shen Juan had a sense of belonging to home, as if being with her would calm his originally irritable and bored mood.

I want to laugh when I see her.

I put on a bulky cold-proof suit that prioritized warmth over style, and a mask and a knitted hat to disguise my identity. I went to the nearest supermarket and bought some light food suitable for patients and fresh fruits to supplement vitamins.

Shen Juan returned home carrying a big bag of things.

After opening the door and coming in, he first walked to the girl who was lying on the sofa wrapped in a blanket and drowsy, squatted down and asked with concern: "How are you now? What's the temperature? Do you need to take antipyretics or see a doctor?"

"37.7 degrees, it's just a low fever, it's okay." Zhou Ye opened his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Juan with a caring look on his face, and forced a listless smile.

"Then why do you look like you're about to die?"

"Oh, I'm just a little sleepy. You're lying so comfortably on the sofa, can't you let me take a nap for a while?" Zhou Ye pouted his lips and quickly raised his voice.

"Okay, I'll go cook first, but I suggest you wait until after dinner before going to bed."

"Uh-huh."

Shen Juan walked into the kitchen and began to cook light and easily digestible food suitable for patients according to the online tutorial. He was not very good at this because he was the one taken care of by his parents before. This was his first time to take care of a patient with a fever.

But everything has to have a first time.

Isn’t the experience of taking care of people also gained through repeated personal experiences?

Not far away, Zhou Ye, who was lying on the sofa, was also looking at him.

Because the room had an open kitchen design, from her angle, she only had to raise her head slightly to clearly see Shen Juan who was cooking.

Wearing a brand new apron that had obviously not been used many times, her eyes were focused on the spatula in her hand. From time to time, she would look down at the mobile phone on the stove that was playing a teaching video. Her expression was sometimes depressed and frowning, sometimes nodding seriously, and occasionally laughing happily. Her clumsy look was so cute that it made people want to laugh just by looking at her.

Looking at the heart-warming scene in front of him, Zhou Ye's eyes became more gentle.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to watch someone else cook for you and take good care of you.
She suddenly had a vague and obscure feeling of wanting to rely on him, but at the same time she didn't want to make him worry about her or affect him.

Is this what they call a vague feeling of love?

It's really amazing.
Listening to the tinkling lullaby coming from the kitchen, Zhou Ye gradually closed his eyes, a slight curve at the corners of his lips, and fell asleep quietly.

I don’t know how much time passed.
When Shen Juan finished cooking and came out of the kitchen, planning to call Zhou Ye to come over for dinner, he discovered that the girl, who looked particularly weak today, was lying on the sofa with her head gently resting on a cute cartoon character pillow. A smile was on the corner of her mouth, and her pure and flawless face looked particularly beautiful under the soft light of the chandelier.

Looking at this defenseless sleeping face, Shen Juan hesitated for a moment, but still did not wake her up. Instead, he sat down next to her quietly, then took out his mobile phone and continued reading the entertainment news that he had not finished reading before.

[Jung Soo-jung presents the most explicit kissing scene, kissing Park Hae-soo over 30 times]

[Captain America’s Chris and his girlfriend got back together and were spotted looking for a new apartment]

[Year-end review released in advance, rap songs dominate the US 2017 Billboard Hot 100 list]

There is no other way. Artists like him have to spend extra time reading the news and improving their knowledge.

After sleeping for about three hours, Zhou Ye opened her eyes sleepily and blinked confusedly. Then, the familiar face that often lingered in her mind appeared in her blurry sight.

After a long while, she said blankly:
"Where is this? Am I dreaming?"

"Are you awake? Congratulations, the operation was successful, and mother and child are safe." Shen Juan forced a polite smile and spoke to her in the gentlest and calmest tone possible.

"what?"

"Isn't it good that mother and child are safe?"

"Juanjuan, you don't really think that my fever has damaged my brain, do you?" Zhou Ye was speechless, with a frown on his face.

"Since your brain is not burned out, get up and eat." Shen Juan stretched out his hand to straighten her messy bangs on her forehead, and used the back of his hand to feel the warmth of her forehead.

If it's not an illusion, the temperature should have dropped.

"How long has it been?"

"About. Three hours?"

"Wouldn't it have been cold for a long time?"

"Can't I just warm it up?"

"Oh oh oh, okay." Zhou Ye felt embarrassed when Shen Juan looked at him as if he was a fool.

But she felt that she was justified in doing so.

After all, it feels unreal to see the person you like appear in front of you in a daze as soon as you wake up, not to mention that you have a fever and are not so sober. At this moment, everything around her has a hazy slow-motion beauty, as if you are dreaming, and everything in front of you seems a little unreal.

Shen Juan returned to the kitchen in slippers, reheated the prepared dishes, and then served them on the table. They were all light but nutritious dishes.

"Where's the feast I was looking forward to?"

"It is not appropriate to eat rich fish and meat when you have a fever or a cold."

"All right."

Zhou Ye's mood dropped instantly.

"Eat it quickly. I don't want to heat it up a third time."

"the third time?"

"I actually had a fever once before you woke up." Shen Juan explained as if nothing had happened.

Actually, it happened twice, but the inexplicable childish self-esteem or tsundere emotion in his heart was secretly at work.

Zhou Ye paused for a moment, pretending to be calm and asked again: "Is this the first time you take care of someone like this?"

"if not?"

After getting a positive answer that made him happy, Zhou Ye picked up the bland millet porridge and took a sip. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this sip was much better than the previous one, with a distinct sweetness.

So for the rest of the time, I just drank it down with a mouthful of porridge, a bite of side dish and a look of tiredness.

Shen Juan looked at the watch silently. Fifty minutes later, the girl, whose face was becoming increasingly rosy, finally finished eating what a normal person could finish in five minutes.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Juan stood up and cleaned up the dishes.

"It looks good!" Zhou Ye obviously regained some energy.

"." Shen Juan had nothing to say, but he was in a good mood.
