Xu Xinghe went home and took a shower, without blowing his head, he fell asleep.

I slept till dawn.

He opened his eyes dazedly, and realized that something was wrong—

Sore throat, headache, body aches.

Even without taking the body temperature, I knew that my fever had not subsided, but it had gotten worse.

Xu Xinghe has a tough body since he was a child. He rarely catches a cold and has a fever. He also relies on "drinking more water and resting" to survive.

But this time, this omnipotent solution failed.

Xu Xinghe lay on the bed for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little K, help me make an appointment with Dr. Tom."

Xiaok is his smart housekeeper system, which is connected to his housekeeping robot and various smart devices.

Three minutes later, Xiao K's prompt sounded: "Doctor Tom can come to the door at 2:30 in the afternoon at the earliest. Do you need to make an appointment for you?"

Xu Xinghe glanced at the time and said weakly, "Okay, do you still have antipyretics at home? I'll take some first."

Xiao k: "Your fever-reducing medicine has expired for half a year. It is recommended to throw it in the harmful trash can."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

Xiao K continued to ask thoughtfully, "Do you need me to help you order new antipyretics from the Internet?"

Xu Xinghe said while sending a text message: "Forget it, I'll ask Aunt Sophia to deliver the medicine..."

Due to the severe dizziness, Xu Xinghe couldn't eat anything. He only drank a can of nutritional supplements and went back to lie down.

But the fever was getting stronger and stronger, and he even began to wonder if he could last until Dr. Tom came.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Aunt Sophia is here so soon?

Xu Xinghe was lying on the bed with his brows furrowed and his eyes closed. He didn't look carefully at who was on the monitor screen, and said in a direct voice, "Please come in."

He took a deep breath, stood up, leaned on the head of the bed, licked his dry lips, and said to the housekeeping robot in a daze, "Little K, help me get a glass of water."

Captain Lewis personally drove a pure black military bulletproof vehicle through the 031 road in District 5 and came to Xu Xinghe's small courtyard.

The speeding car slowly landed, and Major General Qin Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly sighed: "Sir, although I can understand your mood at the moment, but after such a chaotic night, Xiguan still advises you to go first. Go to the hospital to..."

"You guys are waiting for me in the car."

As soon as the speeder landed, the person sitting in the back seat hurriedly left a sentence and got out of the car quickly, and rang the doorbell of the villa regardless of what others said.

The camera flashed, and then the door opened automatically.

Ling Changfeng raised his foot and walked in.

At nine ten in the morning, golden artificial sunlight filled the floor through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Xu Xinghe's double-storey villa presents a simple and modern style with white as the keynote, full of artistic flavor, and the electronic paintings on the walls are replaced with warm colors as the guests visit.

Yitong looked around, and saw that the potted plants in the living room were flourishing, obviously well taken care of.

It seems that Xu Xinghe does come back often.

So what about others?

"Aunt Sophia?"

Xu Xinghe's voice suddenly came from the second floor, a little weak and a little hoarse.

Ling Changfeng's eyes moved, and he walked up the stairs quickly.

As soon as arrived on the second floor, heard the sound of glass breaking from the room on the east side.

Xu Xinghe leaned weakly on the head of the bed, his throat was on fire, and he had a splitting headache.

He stretched out his hand to take the warm water brought by Xiao K, but unexpectedly, his hand trembled and he didn't hold it steady.

The cup fell, and he subconsciously wanted to make amends, but as a result, his body leaned forward, his center of gravity was unsteady, and he flipped off the bed together with the quilt.

So when Ling Changfeng pushed the door and entered, he saw such a messy scene——

Half of Xu Xinghe's quilt was still wrapped around him, but the whole person fell to the ground with the quilt rolled up.

His cheeks were flushed, and there was a shattered glass and a puddle of water in his hand.

The broken glass probably scratched his fingers, so he was sucking the wound with his index finger in his mouth.

Xu Xinghe raised his head when he heard the voice, and was almost scared: "Why are you? Where's Aunt Sophia?"

His voice was hoarse, and he was breathing heavily.

Ling Changfeng looked at him, frowning slightly: "Sick?"

If Xu Xinghe's mind is still bright now, he may notice that Ling Changfeng's voice is more hoarse than usual.

But he was dizzy now, so he could only weakly answer: "It's alright, little Mao Bo"

Marshal Ling stopped talking, he put his coat on the sofa, then turned around and walked towards Xu Xinghe.

Xu Xinghe's heart suddenly rang out, and those eyes that were red with fever stared round: "Why are you here... ah 1

The moment his feet left the ground, the sense of weightlessness made him subconsciously hook everything that could be hooked at his hand——

Such as Ling Changfeng's neck.

Xu Xinghe's whole body instantly froze into a stone.

The brain and body shut down together.

It wasn't until Ling Changfeng brought him back to the bed that he reacted after a while—

Own! Actually! By Ling Changfeng! Hold up!

Fortunately, Ling Changfeng's movements were fast enough, and this awkward hug lasted only a few seconds.

Xu Xinghe was put back on the bed in shock, and he didn't notice in the panic. The moment he hooked the opponent's neck, the arm that hugged him also stiffened.

When Xu Xinghe came back to his senses, Ling Changfeng was already tidying up his sleeves casually.

Xu Xinghe was stunned: "You, you... how did you break into a private house?"

"I rang the doorbell, and you said 'please come in'." Ling Changfeng pulled down his sleeve without a trace, raised his eyes and asked, "Why didn't you answer my call?"

"You called me?"

Xu Xinghe used his downed brain to think slowly for two seconds: "Uh...Are we not in each other's address book yet?"

Ling Changfeng looked at him, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he did not answer.

Xu Xinghe was a little uncomfortable when he saw him, so he turned his head to avoid the look: "I have set Do Not Disturb for strange calls during sleep, so I didn't deliberately not answer them."

Ling Changfeng had no expression on his face: "You are in my address book."

Xu Xinghe: "...Ah?"

He was stunned for two seconds, then raised his hand with difficulty: "I'll add you—what's the number?"

Ling Changfeng was silent for a while, but when he spoke again, he changed the subject: "Last night, there was an accident on my way to find you. The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to say hello to you... When the matter is over, your phone It's out of reach."

Speaking of this, Xu Xinghe finally remembered that Marshal Ling released his pigeons last night.

Although I didn't have any expectations for this dinner at first, the behavior of putting pigeons on an appointment is too annoying!

So that little guilt just now turned into a sense of self-righteousness.

Xu Xinghe turned around, covered his body with the small blanket, turned his back to Ling Changfeng, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not feeling well, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do, I won't let you go."

The house suddenly became quiet.

Ling Changfeng stood in front of the bed, stomped for a while without saying a word, then leaned over and picked up the broken glass on the ground.

Then he turned and left the bedroom.

gone?

Xu Xinghe listened to the sound of the footsteps getting further away, heaved a sigh of relief, and gradually relaxed.

But still dizzy.

He thought in a daze, he seemed to have a bit of a fever this time, do you want to go directly to the hospital later?

Having said that, why did Ling Changfeng come? ?

Marshal Ling has not done anything to clean up the house with tea and water for more than ten years.

After he cleaned up the glass debris on the ground, he thought about pouring a new glass of water, but he didn't know which button to press to get the water out of the new version of the water purifier.

After tossing in the kitchen for a while, he returned to the bedroom on the second floor with a full glass of water.

Xu Xinghe actually fell asleep again.

Ling Changfeng stood in front of the bed, looking at Xu Xinghe's fluffy back of his head, speechless for a moment.

Is this guy a pig, can he sleep like this?

He put the water glass on the bedside table and gently lifted a corner of the quilt.

The glass really scratched Xu Xinghe's index finger, but fortunately, there was only a shallow wound, and the bleeding had stopped.

Thinking of this, Ling Changfeng glanced at his left arm.

After confirming that there was no trace, he put down his hand.

He re-covered the quilt for him, then pressed the earphone and said softly, "What's the matter?"

The voice of Colonel Lewis, the captain of the guard, came from the earphone: "Report to the marshal! There is a lady named Sophia outside the door, who claims to be Mr. Xu's friend and the vice president of the Seventh Welfare Institute in the capital. Mr. Xu is entrusted to deliver medicine. , do you want to let her in?"

Ling Changfeng turned his head and glanced at his sleeping young spouse: "Tell her that Xu Xinghe is resting, and ask her to come back next time."

"it's 1

"Wait a minute—" One second before hanging up the communication, Marshal Ling suddenly thought of something, "Vice President of the Seventh Welfare Institute?"

Before he got married, he glanced at Xu Xinghe's information and knew that he grew up in the seventh welfare center in the capital.

Ling Changfeng changed his mind: "Please come in."

After saying that, he gently closed the bedroom door and walked down the stairs.

Sophia is sixty-eight years old this year. In the age of the Galaxy Calendar, when the average human life expectancy was more than two hundred years old, she was still considered prime.

Even if it was the first time she saw a big man like the Alliance Marshal, she didn't have stage fright, she just smiled and nodded her head: "Marshal Ling, I have long admired my name, it's a pleasure to meet."

Ling Changfeng nodded, came to the living room, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Sit."

Sophia asked, "Is Xinghe okay now?"

Ling Changfeng said: "He said that there is nothing wrong, and he has fallen asleep again."

Sophia looked at him in surprise. Just as she was about to say something, Ling Changfeng had already asked, "How long have you been working in the Capital Welfare Institute?"

Sophia replied: "This year is exactly the 40th year."

Ling Changfeng asked again, "Did Xinghe grow up in your welfare center?"

Sophia smiled and said: "Yes, he is a very special existence in our orphanage. He has been smart, kind, and strong since he was a child. Although he is sometimes stubborn and makes the teacher a headache, he is really a good child in his bones. ."

Ling Changfeng nodded: "I have a question to ask, you can choose to answer or not."

He used the word "ask for advice", which was considered a rare courtesy.

Sophia said: "Tell me, if I know, I will try to answer you."

"On the day of the wedding, he told me that if he had a child in the future, he wanted joint custody of the child."

Ling Changfeng raised his head and said in a low voice, "You watched him grow up, do you know why?"
