"It's Qixi Festival today, why didn't you come to find me? Didn't you still finish your summer homework? "
I was lying on my bed when the day was about to end and I sent Xiao Qin a text.
She replied almost without any delay. I was amazed at Xiao Qin's typing speed, but at the same time, I realized: If she replied so quickly, then it means Xiao Qin hasn't slept yet. Maybe she's clutching her phone tightly and anxiously waiting for me to contact her first.
Her reply was like this:
"It's because it's Qixi Festival today that I didn't come to find you. I'm only your childhood sweetheart right now. I would only cause trouble for you if I picked a special day like this. "
My heart trembled when I saw this reply.
Xiao Qin clearly wanted to come and find me, but after I fell into the pit, she thought it was because she stole my Swiss army knife and other actions that almost killed me. So now she only wants to not be hated by me and try her best to restrain herself from crossing the line of childhood sweethearts. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she specifically didn't come to find me during the Qixi festival.
Is it fine for me to spend Qixi Festival with other girls?
Is it because it's more convenient for me to spend Qixi Festival with other girls?
Thinking back to today's Qixi Festival, I should be spending it with the class leader, Gong CaiCai, and Winnie. Although nothing special happened (other than Gong CaiCai confessing to the class leader in a daze), I still spent Qixi Festival with other girls.
A phrase suddenly flashed through my mind: "Childhood sweethearts are meant to be abandoned."
That was when Xiao Qin joined a manga group and found out everyone was discussing the latest trend of shoujo manga. It wasn't like the past where 'childhood sweethearts' became the heroine. Many childhood sweethearts became second or third female characters and played the pitiful role of being abandoned.
"That's why the male protagonist likes childhood sweethearts because he hasn't seen the world. Once he meets someone better, the childhood sweethearts will have completed their mission and can step aside."
It seems there were people in the group that said this, so it must have worried Xiao Qin. When I made her my girlfriend, I was also treading on thin ice and trembling with fear.
Unknowingly, I thought for a long time. Xiao Qin didn't send me any more messages, but it was as if I could see Xiao Qin repeatedly typing on the screen, then silently deleting them. She didn't want her messages to bring me extra trouble on the day of the Qixi festival.
I felt as if something had struck my heart. I looked at my watch. It was 23: 59. There was only one minute left before the Qixi Festival would end.
He didn't think too much about it and immediately called her back from reading her messages.
"Hello? Are you okay? "
I could hear that although Xiao Qin was trying her best to control her emotions, her voice couldn't help but tremble.
"Xiao Qin, happy Qixi Festival."
Finally, before the hands of his watch pointed to midnight, he said this sentence to Xiao Qin.
"En!"
Xiao Qin agreed with a little surprise and even more touched. Then, she didn't say anything else.
Was this guy so moved that he cried? Is she trying so hard not to cry that she can't talk to me anymore?
Thus, I told her to rest early. If she has time tomorrow, she can come find me to help with her summer homework.
After the call, I finally put down the burden in my heart and fell asleep on the bed.
"Cough, cough."
Around 10 AM the next day, Xiao Qin, who entered through the window like last time, coughed in front of me as if she had a cold.
At this time, Ai Mi already went to the set to film. Winnie also didn't come over. Dr. Yu just gave me an ECG, so the entire VIP building was quiet.
"What happened?" I took Xiao Qin's bag and asked with furrowed brows.
"I probably got infected in the hospital." Xiao Qin, who was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress with black trim, replied with a few light coughs in between.
"Did you get infected by other patients in the hospital when you were taking care of Auntie Ren?"
"Yeah, maybe." Xiao Qin nodded, "That's why Uncle Ye is taking care of my mom today. Uncle Ye is really kind, he's been taking care of my mom since Cuisong Mountain."
How slow! It's only right for my dad to take care of Auntie Ren! Your childhood sweetheart is about to become a younger sister, yet you still haven't realized it!
Xiao Qin sat on the only chair in the room and coughed non-stop. It's rare to see Xiao Qin this weak.
Did she not get infected by other patients? Was it because it was Chinese Valentine's Day yesterday and she was in a low mood because she didn't dare to contact me? In order to wait for a text message or a call, she might have been tossing and turning in bed until very late. Maybe she caught a cold.
Fortunately, I called Xiao Qin at the last minute and didn't make her wait in vain. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it for her to get sick.
Because Xiao Qin lived at home for three years, her immunity and endurance can't compare to Winnie, who exercises every day.
Even though her fighting strength is still a mess.
But if she gets sick — — for example, her monthly period cramps, she would be abnormally weak, her fighting strength would rapidly decline, and she might be easily defeated by Winnie.
After all, if Xiao Qin ate something cold before her period, it would hurt like hell. But even if Winnie ate ice cream during her period, it wouldn't hurt at all.
It's a strange symmetry. On the day I unfortunately contracted a viral heart disease, Xiao Qin also caught a cold for the first time. It made the two of us, who were once all-powerful, temporarily have the label of 'weak'.
Although a viral heart disease is a hundred times more serious than a cold, I still feel like I should act strong in front of Xiao Qin. After all, I'm a man and she's a woman. Also, I might be the older brother and she might be the younger sister in the future.
"Why aren't you resting at home if you have a cold?" I slightly reprimanded her, "Did you take your medicine?"
"Not yet." Xiao Qin mumbled, "But I brought the medicine."
She took out a box of Sanjiu Ganmao Pills from her bag.
"The water dispenser is in the living room." I said as I led Xiao Qin to the living room. I filled a cup of warm water in front of the water dispenser and held it in front of Xiao Qin so she could take the medicine.
"Um, can I borrow a spoon for a bit?" Xiao Qin asked in a fluster.
I felt it was strange, "Why do you need a spoon?"
Xiao Qin took out two Ganmao Ling capsules and said embarrassedly: "Because my throat is small, I can't directly swallow the medicine. If it's a tablet, you have to grind it up first and then put it in a spoon with water …"
Huh? You're quite delicate in unexpected places! Is it because you were too strong when you were young and didn't take medicine, so you didn't develop the habit of swallowing medicine? Once you start to 'learn to be a girl', your immune system weakens and you have to grind it up first when you have to take medicine?
I looked at the red capsule in Xiao Qin's hand, "Ganmao Ling is a capsule, not a tablet, so it shouldn't be hard to swallow, right?"
"Mhmm." Xiao Qin nodded, "As long as you open the capsule and pour the pills into a spoon, I can swallow it …"
"Isn't that the same as grinding the medicine?" I said angrily, "Starch capsules have a slow release effect. If you throw away the capsule and eat the medicine, what if the medicine is destroyed by your stomach acid?"
"But, but I can't swallow it if I don't do that!" Xiao Qin expressed her grievances.
Although Xiao Qin's expression looked pitiful and I didn't have the heart to force her to swallow the capsule, I decided not to spoil her. It's for her own good to let her learn the correct method of taking medicine.
It's time to show some of my brother's authority.
"You're not allowed to open the capsule! Not only is it troublesome, it might also have side effects! Swallow the capsule! "
I ordered while pushing the cup of warm water in front of Xiao Qin.
"Do I have to do that?" I could tell Xiao Qin was still afraid of me. No matter the reason, I was satisfied with my brother's authority.
"I have to do it!" I said loudly, "If you don't follow the correct method, I won't guide you on your summer homework today!"
"Okay, okay …" In order to stay, Xiao Qin had no choice but to stuff the two capsules into her mouth. Then, she took the cup of warm water and drank it.
"Okay! You can write Zhuo Ye now … "
"Don't think you can get away with it!" I said angrily, "You're talking with a lisp! You only drank the water, so the capsules are still under your tongue! "
"Ugh …" Xiao Qin covered her mouth in panic and said: "But, but I really can't swallow it! Please let me go! "
"No!" I said with a demonic expression, "You have to swallow it no matter what! It's for your own good! Give me the empty cup, I'll pour you another cup of water! "
I quickly poured another cup of warm water and handed it to Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin had the capsules in her mouth that had already started to melt. She looked at me with difficulty while holding the paper cup.
"Do you have to swallow it …"
"Stop trying to get lucky!" In order to make Xiao Qin submit, I fiercely scolded, "These things should be swallowed without any hesitation. Hurry up and do it! Otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry! "
Xiao Qin had no choice but to drink another half cup of water, but her cheeks were slightly puffed up. Her eyes would drift to the ceiling, then to the bathroom, but she wouldn't look me in the eye.
"You're using your tongue to move the capsules, right? Don't try to hide the capsules! "
I yelled at Xiao Qin like a boxing coach in the audience:
"Don't give up halfway! Don't spit it out! Swallow it all! I'm going to make you open your mouth for me to examine!! "
Xiao Qin was holding the capsules and water in her mouth with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes as if she was in pain. At this time, the door to room 103 was suddenly opened.
Also, the person who opened the door was 28 Middle's perverted school doctor, Chen YingRan, whom I haven't seen in a while.
"Oh, you guys have already reached this point?"
Chen YingRan happened to see me forcing Xiao Qin to swallow it all. She covered her mouth and a malicious smile flashed across her face.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore, I'll come back later."
She was very considerate and slowly closed the door. Then she said to Winnie who also wanted to come in: "Ye Lin and Xiao Qin are playing adult games, you should leave for now."
