"Is it tasty?"

"Hmm... I can't taste anything..." Tang Xin lowered her head in disappointment, "I clearly feel a little hungry, but I don't seem to have any appetite."

"It's true that you'll lose your appetite when you have a cold. Why don't you eat all the beef? And eat as much noodles as you can." I felt a little distressed, but there was nothing I could do. I had to rely on myself to recover from the cold.

"Ok!"

Tang Xin nodded, picked out all the beef, ate it in small bites, and then forced herself to eat half a bowl of noodles.

"Forget it if you can't eat." I couldn't bear to see her forcing herself, so I decided to let Tang Xin stop eating. "If you're hungry in the afternoon, I'll make you something."

"No need to bother." Tang Xin put down her chopsticks, looking like she couldn't eat anymore. "Let's order takeout together tonight."

Chapter 59: Lying down and watching a movie together

When I finished tidying up the table and returned to the living room, I found Tang Xin already lying on the sofa and sleeping with her eyes closed.

"The blanket is not even covered properly, really."

I walked over to her and covered her with a blanket. The little girl was breathing heavily, and there seemed to be clear snot flowing from her nose, so she had to open her mouth slightly to breathe.

I touched her head.

"Hiss, it's so hot."

I thought, this is bad! After noon, the body's immunity is up and the body temperature is up. I wanted to take her temperature, but I had to give up because I couldn't measure it accurately because she had just eaten.

"Tang Xin, can I carry you back to your room to sleep?" I whispered in her ear.

"No..." She said dazedly, "Xiao Meng, please go back quickly. I don't want to infect you."

My nose felt sore and I wiped her head with a wet towel. "Are you kidding me? Do you think you can handle this by yourself?"

"But……"

"Nothing but..."

I reached out my hand and picked up Princess Tang Xin. She was not heavy, but not light either. It took a lot of effort to carry her up to her room on the second floor. I washed a towel for her and put it on her forehead.

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep." I held her hand, comforted her, and tried my best to make her feel at ease.

Buzz~buzz~Tang Xin's phone, which I had just turned to silent mode, vibrated. I picked it up and saw that it was her mother calling.

"Hello, Auntie, it's me." I walked to the door quietly so as not to disturb Tang Xin's rest.

"Xiao Meng? How's Tang Xin?" Auntie was a little worried.

"She still has a fever, but she ate her lunch well and is now resting in bed. I will apply a cold towel to her forehead every once in a while."

"Thank you so much. Her father and I can't make it back tonight and have to wait until tomorrow. Could you please take care of her today?" The aunt's tone was sincere, almost begging me.

"It's okay, Auntie. I will give you a healthy Tang Xin tomorrow."

"Thank you! I will definitely thank you in person when I come back."

-

Tang Xin has been asleep for more than an hour. During this time, I took her temperature and it was 38.8 degrees. If it continues to rise, I will consider giving her medicine. After all, having a fever for too long is not good for the brain.

"Xiao Meng, I'm thirsty..." Tang Xin woke up and turned to look at me.

"Okay, I'll pour it for you."

I have already prepared half a cup of boiled water in the cup beside me, so I just need to pour half a cup of hot water into it and drink it directly.

"Thank you, I feel better." After drinking the water, Tang Xin half sat up.

"There is bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear?"

"Bad news."

"Your parents can't come back to accompany you tonight. They have to come tomorrow."

"Oh." Tang Xin's reaction was indifferent.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

"I'm used to it. They're often away on business, and I'm the only one at home. So, what's the good news?"

"The good news is that I can stay with you tonight!" I gently scratched her nose, "Who made you have such a good friend like me?"

"Well...that seems not bad." She narrowed her eyes and smiled. Tang Xin looked best when she smiled.

"Xiao Meng, I want to watch TV. It's so boring to just sit here!"

Less than five minutes later, I had just washed the towel and brought it back when I heard Tang Xin's complaints.

"But you should rest well if you have a cold. Why don't you sleep for a while?" I was a little reluctant.

"Oh, no. I want to watch a video. Can you please bring me the iPad?" Tang Xin acted like a spoiled brat.

-

ten minutes later……

"Let me get you a cushion. It's not good for your waist to sit on the bed like this." I looked at Tang Xin watching the video on the pad, half hunched over and feeling very uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Xiaomeng. Do you want to come and watch it together?" Tang Xin patted her bed. "Come and watch it together!"

"Eh? But, in this case, who will boil hot water for you and change your towel?" I made excuses, but I really wanted it.

"What's the matter? Can't you just take the thermos to the room? As for the towel, you can just get a basin with some cold water."

"Then... I'll go boil some water for you..."

-

20 minutes later, I crawled into her bed. It was very hot inside, probably because she was still having a fever, but it was very comfortable in the currently not very warm weather.

"Xiao Meng, your skin is so good." Tang Xin stretched out her legs and pressed them on my legs.

"Stop it. You're still sick. Why don't you take a good rest instead of having the energy?" I stretched out my hand to stop her legs, but to be honest, it was really smooth and comfortable.

"Hehehe." Tang Xin seemed to have recovered her fever and was somewhat refreshed. She moved the tablet towards me and randomly clicked on some categories, "What movie should we watch~"

"Let's watch Disney cartoons? DreamWorks ones are also good." I flipped through the movie categories and felt that cartoons were better.

"Okay, then you choose~" Tang Xin handed the choice to me.

"Look at this! Wall-E! Have you ever seen it before?"

"No. The name seems a bit childish. The cover is also a bit stupid." Tang Xin didn't seem to be very interested.

"Take a look, I want to see it~ ok" I had to act coquettishly with her, I knew she would like it.

"You decide~ I'll watch it with you." Since Tang Xin gave me the right to choose, I had no choice but to accept it, but I could see a slight displeasure in her expression.

The movie started, Tang Xin casually pressed the switch beside the bed, and the lights in the whole room went out.

"It feels better when we turn off the lights!" Tang Xin saw my confusion and said to me with a smile.

"Okay, it's up to you~"

She and I lay down and relaxed. It was a rare opportunity to watch a movie together in bed on a reading day.

The movie "Wall-E" was released in the summer of 2008. It tells the story of a love between two robots that transcends everything. The simple physical gesture of holding hands runs through the entire movie. It is like the confession of the protagonist Wall-E. A hand-holding is endowed with the faith and eternity of love, proving Wall-E's humble but brave love.

There is almost no dialogue in the whole film, and some are just a few shouts of each other's names. Different from the visual impact of previous Hollywood blockbusters, the pictures and stories of Wall-E are as beautiful as a dreamy love poem, which makes people intoxicated unconsciously.

"Come on, Wall-E!" Tang Xin had become so fascinated by the show that she didn't know when. She clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, as if she was cheering for the protagonist to board the rocket and chase the goddess.

This is probably the most amazing part of this movie. It is a broken, rusty, junk robot with all its parts in disrepair, but it can still make people feel pity and sympathy. When people see its big, bright eyes, they can't help but feel their hearts melt.

"No~ don't!"

Tang Xin is a soft-hearted child. When she saw that Wall-E was damaged and Eva repaired it with all her strength, and lost all its memories, tears flowed from her eyes. I had to use tissues to wipe her tears.

In the movie, Eva tried everything to help Wall-E recover his memory, but to no avail. Wall-E was like a garbage collection robot, and began to recycle garbage. Desperate Eva finally reached out her hand and interlocked her fingers with Wall-E. Wall-E's wish to hold hands finally came true at this moment, and the two robots touched their foreheads. Wall-E finally remembered everything, and the story had a happy ending.

Tang Xin stretched out her right hand and held my left hand. My face suddenly felt hot. This was too sudden. With our fingers interlocked, I could clearly feel the burning temperature of her palm.

"Xiao Meng, this movie is really good. But it's too tear-jerking." Tang Xin held my hand tightly and leaned her head on my shoulder.

"Hmm..." My mind went blank and my legs were nervously pressed together, not daring to touch Tang Xin at all.

"Tang Xin~Can two robots be together?" She looked at me with her forehead on hers, and her warm breath hit my neck, leaving me at a loss as to what to do.

“It’s a cartoon after all.”

"Hey~~ I think the love between robots is really beautiful and touching." Tang Xin said as she lay down, "Xiao Meng, aren't you moved at all? I'm crying my eyes out."

"I've seen it before!" I explained.

"Eh? Are you accompanying me to watch it a second time?" Tang Xin was a little surprised.

"Yes! I recommended it to you. Isn't it good?"

"It's great~ The movie Xiaomeng recommended is great! But I'm a little tired and want to continue sleeping for a while."

"Then go back to sleep. I'll get you a glass of water."

I got out of bed, put on my pants, filled Tang Xin's cup with water, and washed her a new towel.

"Xiao Meng..." Tang Xin, with her head sticking out of the bed, called me softly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" I was washing towels and didn't hear clearly what Tang Xin said.

"No...it's okay. I just called you." Tang Xin hesitated to speak.

I walked over and took the temperature of her forehead. It was much lower, so I put the thermometer back in her place.

"You can only drink the hot water after measuring the temperature." I poured her another cup of warm water.

Three minutes later, I took out the mercury thermometer from Tang Xin's mouth.

"37.5 degrees, a low fever, you're recovering quickly." I was somewhat relieved. I looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. "Sleep a little longer. I'll prepare dinner for you."

"okay."

Tang Xin was as obedient as a baby and closed her eyes to rest.

Next is my battle!

Because Tang Xin has a cold, her taste buds must have been attacked by the virus, temporarily damaged, and her digestive system will also have varying degrees of functional decline. I bought beef noodles at noon as she wished, and she definitely can't eat takeout for dinner. I think a balanced and nutritious dinner is essential, and it is also a good way for her to recover quickly. I plan to prepare some special dishes based on Tang Xin's current physical condition to help her resist the cold virus.
