You're keeping something from me.
Qiao Qiao glared at He Shaochen. "I'm not jumping into the water!"
"No? Then why did he fall into the water? Don't tell me you decided to go to the pond on a whim. " He Shaochen glared at Qiao Qiao, then grabbed Qiao Qiao's hand overbearingly and gently. He put the medicine in her palm and said unhappily, "Take it quickly."
As he spoke, he pulled a corner of the large blanket over to dry Qiao Qiao's wet hair.
Qiao Qiao turned around and saw He Shaochen drying her hair. Although his words were very irritating, his gentle actions and focused eyes made Qiao Qiao feel a warm current flowing into her heart and her whole body warming up.
She stopped him and said, "You don't have to wipe it. You'll have to shower later anyway."
He Shaochen glanced at her. "Take your medicine."
"…"
Qiao Qiao resentfully turned her head. She bit her lips and looked at the pills. She had a headache. She hated taking pills since she was young, especially those big pills. She always felt that they would get stuck in her throat.
However, under He Shaochen's coercion, Qiao Qiao braced herself and began to eat. She stuffed one pill after another into her mouth.
Every time she swallowed the medicine, it was a kind of torture. The feeling of the medicine sliding down her throat always gave her the illusion that she would suffocate.
However, at this time, a certain someone still mocked, "Are you a primary school student? Do you have to take pills one by one? "
Qiao Qiao snappily replied, "None of your business!"
"Hmm?"
He Shaochen narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice.
Qiao Qiao pouted. She was unconvinced, but she still said softly, "I'm afraid that the medicine will get stuck in my throat."
"Hmph, what a child."
You're the kid, your whole family are kids! Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth in her heart.
After taking the pills, He Shaochen's slightly cold hand came up and pressed it against her forehead. He pressed it for a while and said, "Why is your forehead still so hot?"
Qiao Qiao laughed. "It's not like this is a miracle drug that will take effect immediately. There should be a buffer time, right?"
He Shaochen declined to comment.
"Well, I've taken the medicine. I want to take a bath." Qiao Qiao stood up. Her clothes were wet and stuck to her body. She felt uncomfortable.
He Shaochen pulled her back. "You're feverish. Don't take a shower today."
"That's so dirty." Qiaoqiao immediately protested. She had a psychological barrier to sleep in such a dirty state.
"Just wipe your body."
"No." Qiao Qiao continued to resist. Who in the pond was so dirty? Even if He Shaochen didn't mind sleeping at night, she still felt uncomfortable.
He Shaochen frowned unhappily. "Qiao Qiao, can you listen to me?"
"What does this have to do with being obedient? Who knows how many germs there are in the pond that is so dirty? If you don't take a shower, are you waiting to be a culture medium? "
Qiao Qiao said that she wanted to take a shower no matter what. He Shaochen couldn't do anything about it. He could only nod. "Hurry up. You have a slight cold and fever."
Qiao Qiao nodded and finally smiled. "Okay, I'll be quick."
With that said, she ran upstairs to pack her things and take a shower.
She spoke quickly, but it took her about 40 minutes to come out. Without thinking, she was scolded by He Shaochen again.
Qiao Qiao looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. Scold her all you want. Anyway, she was used to being scolded.
He Shaochen was so angry that he really wanted to beat her up.
Qiao Qiao's body started to heat up when she slept on the bed. He Shaochen hugged her warm body. His dark eyes looked at her red little face through the orange light and pinched her cheeks. "I told you not to take a shower. See, you're hot."
Qiao Qiao's head was dizzy. Hearing He Shaochen's words, she didn't refute. She just smiled foolishly. "I thought my body was quite good. I didn't expect …"
"I shouldn't have let you have your way. Do you want to take some fever medicine?"
With that said, He Shaochen got up to get it. Qiao Qiao reached out to stop him and shook her head. "No need to trouble yourself. It's not good to take too much medicine. My immune system is quite strong. I'll be fine after a sleep."
"Can't you be more careful with yourself?" He Shaochen moved his arm but realized that Qiao Qiao was holding his sleeve tightly. He sighed helplessly and touched Qiao Qiao's forehead. "Your forehead is still very hot."
"It's fine." Qiao Qiao's eyelids were heavy and she looked like she was going to fall asleep at any time.
He Shaochen thought that the cold medicine was probably starting to take effect, so he turned over and turned off the bedside lamp. Then he got under the blanket and kissed Qiao Qiao's forehead gently. "Sleep early."
"Okay."
It was rare for Qiao Qiao to be so docile and obedient.
He Shaochen felt that something was not right.
The two of them lived peacefully for a few days.
A week passed quietly just like that. On this day, He Shaochen looked at Qiao Qiao who was packing up her research reports and preparing to go to school. He could not help but ask, "Don't you have a scientific research meeting?"
Qiao Qiao paused for a second before she continued packing. She replied casually, "Oh, I don't have to go."
"You don't have to go?" He Shaochen frowned.
"Yeah."
"Why?" This girl had been so busy preparing for this scientific research meeting. How could she not go just like that?
Qiao Qiao turned around and smiled at He Shaochen who was leaning against the door. "Didn't you want me to get along with Professor Xu? Isn't it better that I don't have to go? "
That's true.
He Shaochen's lips curved upwards.
He stood up straight and walked over to Qiao Qiao. He glanced at the research reports she was sorting out and said casually, "Then why are you preparing these? Are you busy playing? "
If he was not mistaken, these were the documents she needed to prepare for the scientific research meeting.
Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes slightly and quickly put the documents into a folder. She laughed dryly at He Shaochen and said, "A classmate needs it. Since I'm almost done, I might as well give it to her."
"A classmate? Don't tell me she's the one who's going to attend the meeting on your behalf, "said He Shaochen coldly.
Qiao Qiao's face froze. She had to admit that He Shaochen was very perceptive.
However, since things had already come to this, Qiao Qiao did not want to say anything more about it. She only hoped that this matter would pass quickly so that she could cut ties with Xiao Ning as soon as possible.
He Shaochen turned her around and made her look at him. "Qiao Qiao, I have a feeling that you're hiding something from me."
Qiao Qiao's lips curved upwards slightly, but her eyes subconsciously drifted away. "What could I be hiding from you?"
"Really?"
He lifted her chin and said seriously, "You said that you wanted to keep your life private, so I withdrew all the people I planted at your school. Is this how you repay my trust?"
Qiao Qiao forced a smile and pushed his hand away. "This is the most basic respect."
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows and confirmed again. "Are you really not hiding anything from me?"
