He Jin had a high fever!
The next morning, He Jin woke up dizzy. His throat was dry, his limbs were sore, and he was having difficulty breathing — he had a fever!
Yes, he was drenched by the lake the day before and didn't take a hot shower after arriving at the dormitory. He felt like he was invincible … He Jin, who had overestimated himself, got up to drink a glass of water and went back to sleep.
When Hou Dongyan woke up, He Jin was still lying down. "Why aren't you up yet?"
They had been living together for two and a half years. He Jin was an unshakable "six o 'clock fan". He was like a god, so sleeping in was a rare sight to Hou Dongyan.
He Jin said sullenly, "I'm not feeling well. I think I have a fever."
"You look good." Hou Dongyan put his hand on He Jin's forehead. "Ouch, it's really hot. Do you want to go to the hospital?"
He Jin's physique was like this. No matter if he was sick, cold, or tired, his complexion would not be too bad. His voice would not be hoarse either. At most, he would have a nasal voice. Even if he was sick, others wouldn't be able to tell.
"No, I should just lie down …" It was the same this time. He felt that it would be over soon.
Hou Dongyan wasn't good at taking care of people, so he didn't ask further after hearing He Jin's words.
At noon, Hou Dongyan went to the cafeteria to get a meal for He Jin and played the whole afternoon. When he saw that He Jin was still lying down in the evening and hadn't eaten anything, he felt that something was wrong. He reached out and felt that He Jin's temperature was higher than in the morning and he was sweating all over.
"Brother Jin, Brother Jin …" Hou Dongyan was shocked when he didn't get a response. He quickly pulled He Jin up, put on his clothes, and went to the room opposite to find help. "Bighead! Brother Jin! Are you there? " He knocked for a long time, but no one answered. Both of them were locals and probably hadn't returned for the weekend. Hou Dongyan had no choice but to go back to his room and carry He Jin on his back.
He Jin wasn't heavy, but Hou Dongyan was too small. He was only 1.65 meters tall, so it would be difficult for him to carry a person ten centimeters taller than him … He moved to the stairs and bumped into two people coming down. "What's wrong?" One of them asked.
Hou Dongyan staggered, "My roommate has a fever and is confused!"
"Hey, isn't that He Jin!" the person exclaimed.
"Hey, you know him?" Hou Dongyan was pleasantly surprised. "Help me quickly!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt the weight on his body lighten. One of the taller boys had already carried He Jin in his arms. He looked relaxed, and without changing his posture, he quickly ran down the stairs …
Hou Dongyan was stimulated. They were both boys, but why was there such a huge difference in their physiques? Sure enough, he still liked to find his presence in the game!
"Are we going to the school hospital?" another person asked.
Hou Dongyan jogged behind them. "Oh, yes … Are you from the student council?"
The man smiled and said, "No, I'm from the tennis club."
Hou Dongyan: "Uh, then how did you know He Jin?"
The man said, "We met yesterday when we were on the lake together."
Hou Dongyan bumped into Jiang Baijian and Qin Yang, who were about to go for dinner.
The school hospital was quite a distance from the male dormitory. Along the way, Qin Yang carried He Jin in front, attracting the attention of many students.
When they reached the emergency room, Hou Dongyan did not bring He Jin's student ID. The nurse asked him to fill in the information first and then fill in the form later. When Hou Dongyan wrote the patient's name, Qin Yang watched from the side. He saw Hou Dongyan write the second word "Jin" … In an instant, Qin Yang's expression changed.
The old doctor took He Jin's temperature, and it was actually over 40 degrees Celsius!
Jiang Baijian sighed. "No wonder I fainted. Once, I had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius. I felt like I was floating when I walked."
After a blood test and fever drops, Hou Dongyan heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor said that the fever would go down soon.
"Thank you. If I had to carry him here alone, it would probably be too much!" He turned to Qin Yang, and his eyes lit up. He did not get a good look earlier, but now he realized that this guy was really handsome. "When He Jin wakes up, I'll tell him to thank you again. I won't trouble you after this. I'll just watch him."
Jiang Baijian nodded and turned to leave, but he heard Qin Yang say, "It's fine. We'll leave after he wakes up."
"Do we have to wait?" Jiang Baijian was a little surprised. In his impression, Qin Yang was not a "helpful" person. He could understand why he had carried He Jin to the hospital. After all, He Jin had fainted, and it was a matter of life and death … But now that he was at the hospital, he had a roommate and a doctor. Why would two "outsiders" get involved?
Qin Yang said to Jiang Baijian, "Go eat first. After you're done eating, bring some food over for me. I'll stay here and check on the situation."
Jiang Baijian nodded. "Okay, I'll go first. Hey, who's that?" He looked at Hou Dongyan. "You haven't had dinner, right? Do you want me to bring some food along?"
"My name is Hou Dongyan. You can call me Monkey." Hou Dongyan took out his meal card and handed it to him. "I'm really sorry to trouble you …"
Only Qin Yang and Hou Dongyan were left. Qin Yang also introduced himself, and the two of them chatted briefly. Qin Yang asked, "When did He Jin get a fever?"
Hou Dongyan thought that Qin Yang stayed behind because he was familiar with He Jin, so he did not hide it. He said frankly, "I think it happened this morning. I saw that he was fine last night."
Qin Yang said nonchalantly, "What was he doing last night?"
Hou Dongyan said casually, "Making a PowerPoint? I think he was going to give a lecture … "
Hearing this answer, Qin Yang's mood immediately sank. He felt that he was overthinking things.
In fact, He Jin had done the PowerPoint in the afternoon. Hou Dongyan hadn't been staring at He Jin the whole time, so he didn't know what time he had gotten. He didn't know the deeper meaning behind Qin Yang's question, so he just answered casually.
"What kind of lecture?" Qin Yang casually followed up on the topic.
Hou Dongyan said, "I heard that it's an English lecture for our juniors. It's next Wednesday …"
Xiao Xian, Ah Jin, said, "… I go online at seven or eight o 'clock on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But I have something on next Wednesday night, so I might not be online."
Qin Yang's heart was in his throat again. He glanced at He Jin, who was lying on the hospital bed. He recalled the "sweet and sour pork ribs" that He Jin had casually ordered at lunch yesterday. Unwilling to give up, he asked again, "What time did he sleep last night?"
Hou Dongyan said, "It was pretty late. He even played some games last night."
Qin Yang: "…!"
Hearing this answer, Qin Yang felt like his mood was on a roller coaster. It went from the bottom to the sky in an instant!
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "He still plays games? What does he play? "
When Hou Dongyan mentioned games, he became excited again. "It's God and Devil. It's a domestic game. It's quite interesting. It's going to be holographic soon. Have you heard of it?"
Qin Yang: "…!!!"
A student at Huaxia University who was one year older than him. His initials were "HJ". He even played "God and Devil" last night. What were the chances of such a coincidence?
Qin Yang: "I've heard of it. Does he … play it often?"
Hou Dongyan shook his head. "Not often. He's usually quite busy. I didn't expect him to play games … Just a few days ago, he saw me playing it and asked me for the game installation kit. He said something about playing it when he was young. Later, he seemed to have met an old friend in the game …"
Qin Yang: "!!!!!"
He didn't need to ask Hou Dongyan any other questions. In all of Huaxia University, if he could find another person who was "one year older than him, whose initials were HJ, liked sweet and sour pork ribs, played God and Devil last night, and met an old friend in the game after so many years", he would write his name backwards!
Right now, Qin Yang was almost 99% sure that He Jin was "Little Immortal Ah Jin". The remaining 1% depended on Peng Yuhao's verification.
For a moment, his heart was in turmoil …
Ah Jin, whom he had been waiting for, lived in the same building as him. He even swam across the lake with him and had a meal with him …
Qin Yang changed the topic and chatted with Hou Dongyan about something else. The two of them quickly became familiar with each other.
"I think that even if He Jin wakes up later, he'll probably be too weak to walk. I'll accompany you until the antipyretic wears off. I'll carry him back in a bit."
Hou Dongyan said gratefully, "Handsome, you're really a Lei Feng!"
Qin Yang smiled. "But I see that he's wearing a little thin now. It might get colder later. Do you want to go back to the dormitory and get him some clothes?"
The innocent Hou Dongyan didn't doubt Qin Yang's "kindness" at all. He stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be right back!"
After sending Hou Dongyan away, Qin Yang got up and slowly approached the bed. He stared at the person lying on it from head to toe.
Hair slightly damp from sweat, delicate face, pale lips, slender body, hands and feet that were smaller than a normal man's …
Qin Yang's burning gaze seemed to want to carve this person's appearance into the depths of his memory. He wanted this person to be tightly bound to the phantom that he had waited for eight years, fuse with it, and lock it into his heart …
Even if you're a man, I'll still recognize you.
"He Jin …" Qin Yang said his name. He raised his hand and used his index finger to gently rub his face. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up as he muttered, "This world is really small, isn't it?"
— I haven't spent any effort looking for you, and you're already in such a hurry to bump into me.
Qin Yang had just withdrawn his hand when Jiang Baijian arrived. Fortunately, he hadn't seen the scene just now. Otherwise, he would have been so shocked that his jaw would have dropped.
"Here, I brought you an egg roll … Um, where's Monkey?" Jiang Baijian looked around.
"He went back to the dormitory to get He Jin some clothes." Qin Yang took the egg roll with a smile on his face.
"Why are you in such a good mood?" Jiang Baijian was baffled. "You and He Jin … used to know each other?"
Qin Yang nodded. "Sort of."
Jiang Baijian thought that it was no wonder. After sitting for a while, Hou Dongyan came back with some clothes.
When the two bottles of medicine were about to run out, He Jin woke up. He was surprised to see Qin Yang and Jiang Baijian there. He only learned what had just happened after Hou Dongyan explained it to him.
He Jin felt very embarrassed that he had caused trouble for others because of his illness, so he apologized and expressed his thanks.
"Alright, just treat us to a meal another day!" Hou Dongyan said with a smile. "Especially Handsome Brother Qin. He was the one who carried you here."
… Carried?
He Jin looked at Qin Yang. When he saw the other's deep gaze, he immediately felt embarrassed and avoided it. "I'll treat you guys to a meal tomorrow."
"There's no hurry. Take care of your body first." Qin Yang's tone was calm.
Seeing that the medicine was almost finished, Hou Dongyan called the nurse over, removed the needles, and went to prepare a pile of medicine.
He Jin supported himself on the mattress and was about to get up when Qin Yang came over to help him. "I'll carry you back."
He Jin was startled. "Ah …"
He was just about to say, "There's no need to trouble yourself," when Qin Yang bent over and squatted down slightly.
