Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 26 Gu Juncheng, where are you going...?

"Grandma! Do you know that your fever is so high that you could fry an egg on your forehead? Can't you just behave yourself?" Gu Juncheng said helplessly, but his tone became even fiercer.

Really? She has a fever?

No wonder...

"Then...then if I'm sick, will you still yell at me?" She was completely under the covers, and her voice, already hoarse, became almost inaudible as she spoke with feigned grievance.

But he heard it.

After a long silence, his voice came from the darkness, "I didn't mean to be mean to you."

"Then, where are you taking me?" Her voice sounded particularly fragile, thick with the nasal tone of a cold.

"The infirmary is almost here." He said each word clearly and decisively.

Before we knew it, we arrived at the infirmary.

As soon as Lin Qingping entered, she heard a burst of laughter.

Then, Gu Juncheng's cold voice interrupted the laughter, "What's so funny? She just came like this, without even bringing a cotton coat, so this is all she can do."

He placed Lin Qingping on the hospital bed.

"Take a look at her, she has a fever," Gu Juncheng said to the doctor.

The doctor, a middle-aged man surnamed Shi, smiled and asked, "Is this your sister-in-law?"

"Otherwise what?" Gu Juncheng's face was stern. "You came to visit relatives and got cold."

"Let's take your temperature first." Dr. Shi took out a thermometer, shook it, and handed it to Gu Juncheng. "Any other symptoms?"

"Her throat is hoarse, but otherwise she's fine." Gu Juncheng replied while rummaging through the cicada pupa with Lin Qingping's hands. "Come on, let's take her temperature."

Lin Qingping was delirious with illness, and subconsciously went to unbutton her clothes and raised her arm, thinking she was being cooperative.

As a result, Gu Juncheng's expression changed, and he quickly covered her completely with the blanket, saying, "What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

Lin Qingping was taken aback, then chuckled inwardly. Wasn't she being silly? She habitually took her temperature under her armpit, forgetting that the thermometer was placed under her tongue at this time.

"Ah—" She obediently opened her mouth, and just then, she remembered that there was actually another type of thermometer, used to measure anus, so...

Where exactly should we measure?

She looked at him, then shut her mouth again.

Do you...do you need to measure chrysanthemums?

No... don't!

"Open your mouth!" He held the thermometer and looked at her strangely.

"Oh..." Her heart, which had been beating wildly, finally calmed down. When she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but laugh at herself for her wild thoughts.

Not only did Gu Juncheng find it inexplicable to laugh, but she herself couldn't stop laughing until she saw Gu Juncheng's brows gradually furrow, at which point she finally managed to stop and open her mouth.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt as if her face had been gently pinched.

She wasn't sure if he pinched her, but she did hear his soft rebuke.

He said, "You're so cheeky!"

She's not being cheeky, okay?

While waiting for her temperature to be taken, Gu Juncheng sat down next to her, and Dr. Shi spoke to him.

Dr. Shi was very kind and always had a smile on his face, which was a complete contrast to Gu Juncheng's stern expression.

"Is this your sister-in-law's first time here?"

"Haha, Commander Gu, this is the first time I've seen you so anxious! Don't worry, it's just a cold!"

"Sister-in-law, is Commander Gu always this serious at home?"

Anyway, the more Dr. Shi joked, the more exaggeratedly he laughed, and the more serious Gu Juncheng's face became.

Lin Qingping couldn't help but reach out from the "cocoon" and pinch his leg hard: Why aren't you answering people!

He glared at her and shoved her hand back under the covers.

"You're sick and you still won't behave!" he scolded her in a very low voice.

Lin Qingping wanted to speak, but with a thermometer stuffed in her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

Dr. Shi laughed heartily at this. When the time was up, he took out the thermometer for her. "Alright, sister-in-law, you can tell me what grievances you have."

Lin Qingping actually said it, muttering to Gu Juncheng, "I'm just sick, not dead! How am I being dishonest?"

Dr. Shi burst into laughter again, and Gu Juncheng's face darkened even more.

"39.5 degrees Celsius, that's a very high temperature. Should we give her an injection or give her medicine?" Dr. Shi asked.

"Take your medicine!" Lin Qingping said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay." Dr. Shi then looked at Gu Juncheng. "Shall we prescribe the medicine?"

Gu Juncheng nodded.

Lin Qingping watched as Dr. Shi took out two small white bags, wrote down the instructions and dosage on them, put the pills into the bags, folded them up, and handed them to Gu Juncheng. She found it very interesting.

After decades of modernization, it's quite interesting to look back at these memories and things that never appeared again.

"Take it once when you get back, and observe it tonight. If it doesn't come down, you can try physical cooling methods. If that doesn't work, bring it back for an injection. Don't be careless."

As Gu Juncheng carried her out, Dr. Shi was still giving her instructions from behind.

"I understand." Gu Juncheng's reply was always very formal.

"Sister-in-law, I wasn't laughing at you at first, I was laughing at your Commander Gu! Hahaha! Don't mind me," Dr. Shi explained with a laugh from behind.

Lin Qingping didn't care who was being laughed at or not. All she knew was that she had been sent back to her family dormitory. Gu Juncheng put her on the bed, helped her lie down, and then turned to open the door and leave.

"Gu Juncheng!" she exclaimed, sitting up abruptly.

"What's wrong?" He turned around.

Lin Qingping didn't know what to say.

She didn't know what their rules were, whether he could stay, or if he would have tasks to do at night.

But she knew one thing: she couldn't inquire about military matters. So when Gu Juncheng asked her, she didn't know what to say and just looked at him in silence.

Gu Juncheng walked back, sat down by the bed, and asked her again, "What happened?"

“You…” Lin Qingping glanced at him, “When will you come again?”

Gu Juncheng was taken aback by her question, "I'll be back soon?"

Now it was Lin Qingping's turn to be dumbfounded. "Then, where are you going?"

"I'll go get you some hot water to take your medicine," the man said helplessly.

Lin Qingping realized she had made a mistake, so she lay back down and covered her head with the blanket.

Gu Juncheng pulled her blanket off, saying, "Don't cover yourself, you need to breathe."

"Hmm..." Lin Qingping nodded. "Go ahead."

As Gu Juncheng stood up again, she suddenly tugged at his sleeve, glanced at him a few times, and asked softly, "So, are you sleeping here tonight?"

Gu Juncheng looked at the small, fair hand that was clutching the hem of his clothes, remained silent for a moment, and finally said, "Mm."

Lin Qingping's whole demeanor brightened instantly. She let go of him, rolled over, and turned her back to him.

Gu Juncheng stood by the bed for a short while, and this time, he finally got out smoothly.

When he came back, he was carrying a thermos. He glanced at Lin Qingping on the bed. She had been making a fuss just now, but now she was extremely quiet and didn't even know he was back.
