"Have you eaten yet?" she asked.

"No..." Alex's voice was a little hoarse, showing a dull sense of drowsiness, "No appetite..."

"..." Guo Zhi frowned, "Did you do it?"

"did not do……"

"Don't do it, I'll call you a porridge. When it's over..." Guo Zhi ordered, "You eat it for me! What will you take to recover if you don't eat? Have you taken your temperature? How much is it now?"

"...I measured it just now, 38 degrees 6."

Guo Zhi frowned even tighter and said, "Have you taken the cold medicine?"

"I just ate."

"Look in the medicine cabinet again. There's a box of Baifuning. It's for antipyretic. You take it according to the instructions. You already have a high fever, so it's a little dangerous. Drink more water! Be sure to drink more water!" hang up the phone.

When I went to the client's place in the afternoon, I was always a little uneasy, and I held a meeting with spirit. I didn't go back to the company after the end, I just went home with my laptop.

As she feared, Alex was still asleep. He didn't go back to the bedroom and slept directly on the sofa. There was an unpacked porridge box on the coffee table, and it looked like had eaten half a bowl. The two pill boxes were scattered there.

She opened and closed the door, took off her shoes and put her bag, and he didn't wake up until she came to him.

Guo Zhi hurried to wash his hands first, and came out to touch his forehead, it was very hot. Take a thermometer...

Alex was drowsy, feeling vaguely that someone moved him. It wasn't until Guo Zhi pushed him hard that he finally opened his eyes.

Guo Zhi frowned: "Get up, get up and eat this..."

She helped Alex sit up and gave him the medicine in her hand. Alex didn't know what it was, so he closed his mouth and wanted to hold the water, but his hands were a little soft.

The awesome guy who never gets sick at ordinary times is sicker than anyone else.

Guo Zhi directly brought the water to his mouth and fed him a drink, telling him to swallow the medicine, and then forced him to drink half a glass of water.

Put down the cup and ask him, "Can you walk by yourself? Go to the house and sleep."

Alex hummed "um", and when he remembered it, he felt weak and weak in his hands and feet. Guo Zhi helped him up.

"Sister Guo..." Alex cried weakly, upset, feeling that he was causing trouble for Guo Zhi.

"It's alright, I gave you antipyretics. You have a fever..." Guo Zhi touched his head and said, "I just measured 38 degrees and 8..."

Alex didn't know when Guo Zhi came back, he was a little confused.

When he walked to the bedroom, he lifted his feet to enter the second bedroom, and Guo Zhi pulled him to the master bedroom.

"Sister Guo..." Alex cried out in embarrassment.

"You sleep over there, how troublesome it is for me to get up at night to take care of you!" Guo Zhi pulled him to the master bedroom and pressed it on the bed.

She turned and went to the living room.

Alex was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, uneasy, sighed and closed his eyes.

After a while, his forehead suddenly froze.

"Don't move..." Guo Zhi sat down beside the room and whispered.

She packed ice in a plastic bag and wrapped it in a towel to make a simple ice pack.

"It's a little bit of ice, it may be uncomfortable to put it on at first..." She leaned over and adjusted the shape and position of the ice pack, "but the fever has to go down, it's too high, it hurts the brain..."

"It's alright...don't be afraid...ah...the fever will go away..."

The voice was low, but it sounded soft. Her fingers were a little cold because of the ice packs. When she pushed his bangs up, her fingertips touched his hot forehead.

Alex's heart shuddered at the cold fingertips.

He closed his eyes tightly, fearing that his crying problem would recur and be looked down upon by Sister Guo.

But he suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes. There were no lights in the house, but it was bright. He looked out the bright window and glanced at the clock on the wall. Sure enough... Guo Zhi went home early...

because of him?

"Sister Guo..." he asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"No." Guo Zhi glanced at his watch, "What time is it, I usually just got off work at this time."

"Then I'll cook..." Alex struggled to get up.

Guo Zhi was so angry that he pressed him back.

"Do you know that you are sick?" she scolded.

"It's alright, I'm in good health, and I'll pass..." Alex said.

Those dark eyes looked at her, timidly, and suddenly Guo Zhi seemed to see a pitiful little dog waiting for the owner's love.

Guo Zhi's heart moved. I remembered that Alex had said something similar before, "It's over...". She also remembered that he also said that his parents divorced when he was very young.

So this child... When he is sick, does he always... survive by himself?

Burning like this, still thinking of cooking for her?

I can't tell what kind of feeling feel in heart. mercy? Is it the same as qíng? It seems a little distressed?

Somewhere in Guo Zhi's heart, suddenly it was as soft as water...

"What the hell..." She fiddled with the hair on his forehead. The originally handsome bangs were pushed aside by the ice pack, which looked a bit ridiculous.

"If you're sick, you have to take a good rest. I don't care what happened to you in the past. Here, you have to obey my rules. In our family, people who are sick do nothing..."

Cool fingertips fiddled with his hair, seeming to be amused, and still refused to stop. The voice was low and soft, very different from usual... Xu Xu talked about her family affairs...

"My brother, I hate it the most. I'm usually a follower, always pestering me. When I'm sick, I still act like a spoiled child and ask me to take care of him... I've been annoying him since I was a child..."

"Last year, when I went home on the weekend, I caught up with him when he was sick. He was so big, yet he was so coquettish and asked me to feed him, just like when I was a child. I was so embarrassed for him. If I hadn't looked at him The fever is so pitiful, I have to put my rice bowl on his head."

"I still fed him later, but he was so embarrassed to open his mouth... I'm embarrassed to tell people about my brother's virtue. No wonder I haven't had a girlfriend until now! He's five years older than you, and he's two years old. Fourteen..."

"Four years..." Alex interrupted her suddenly. "Four years older than me."

"Huh? Aren't you nine years younger than me?"

"I'll be twenty years old next month." The boy looked at her and said softly, "Sister Guo, I'm only eight years younger than you..."

Those eyes were dark and wet. Being sick makes him look vulnerable, and that look in his eyes softens his heart. Guo Zhi was simply unable to resist.

She quickly looked at her watch and said, "I'll order takeout. What do you want to eat?"

"I can't eat it." Alex said sullenly.

"That won't work, you won't get energy if you don't eat. I'll order you some more porridge. There's still some pickles in the refrigerator from auntie, so just eat it and have an appetizer."

While talking, Guo Zhi placed the order using the mobile app.

Putting away her phone, she went to the bathroom. After a while, she brought out a small basin, threw a towel, and gently wiped Alex's neck and behind his ears. The towel was warm and had a slight alcohol smell.

"...Sister Guo?"

"Raise your neck." Guo Zhi pointed his finger at his chin, and when he lifted it, he gently wiped it. He explained: "Hot water mixed with some wine and rubbing the body can make the heat dissipate faster."

"Remember, you must drink plenty of water when you have a fever. High fever and dehydration can kill you. Raise your arms..." Wipe his armpits.

"Later, cover the quilt to cover your sweat, and I'll cook you a ginger syrup. After you eat, drink and sleep. It's good to sweat... Why are you so shy?" Guo Zhi sneered.

Alex is embarrassed. Guo Zhi was taking off his pants.

Strange to say, he and she have both been opposite each other, and they have also been one. If Guo Zhi took off his pants now to have sex with him, he would not be ashamed at all. But Guo Zhi, like a mother, took off his trousers and wiped his thighs with a towel dipped in warm water mixed with wine.

"Like my brother..." Guo Zhi chuckled.

Last year, she went home to catch up with the last time her brother was sick. The stinky and shameless child is so old and coquettishly asked his sister to take care of him, but she wiped his body, and the dead child was swayed, pulling the belt of his pants to prevent her from taking it off.

"Damn it! You have to live or die for Lao Tzu to take care of you! You even pretend to be pure and innocent!" Master Guo pointed at her brother's nose and cursed.

Since childhood, which hair has she never seen on her brother's body? Even Tintin thrives under her witness.

In the end, the domineering elder sister had only the underwear left for her younger brother. Her brother's eyes were dull, and there was no love on his face.

That was the last time her brother was sick and acted like a spoiled child to her. Since then, never again. Grandpa Guo expressed his great relief at the fact that his younger brother finally grew up.

After wiping Alex, Guo Zhi put down the towel and pushed it aside. A slightly thicker air conditioner was taken out of the cabinet and covered by Alex.

"You go to sleep for a while. Cover your sweat." She muttered, "I'll call you when the meal comes."

"Take the temperature later. If you can't get down, you have to go to the hospital at night... Shut up! If I say go, I have to go!"

"Why do you still wear jeans at home, don't you have home pants?"

Alex explained: "I used to live with boys, and we all wore only underwear at home." But in Guo Zhi's house, he always felt that it was not suitable, so he still put on underwear. "

"Go back and buy two pairs of home pants to wear comfortably at home."

"Hmm." Alex replied.

Guo Zhi closed the curtains for him and went to the living room. She still had work to do, so she opened the notebook, shook her head, and began to tap.

Her hands are strong, and the sound of typing on the keyboard is particularly loud.

Alex was lying on the bed, listening to the faint sound of keyboards in the living room. He didn't know whether he fell asleep or not, but he was confused when Guo Zhi called him up anyway.

"38 degrees 6... retreat a little..." She helped him sit up, "get up and eat."

She didn't let Alex get off the bed, she brought a small computer desk where she usually put notebooks and pads on the bed, mixed pickles in the porridge for him and put it on the table for him to eat.

After eating the porridge, she brought him a large bowl of hot ginger syrup. don't know when she boiled.

After drinking the ginger syrup, he pressed him to let him fall asleep.

"I didn't brush my teeth..." Alex said weakly, remembering with weak hands and feet.He was sleeping with Sister Guo, and he didn't want to smoke her.

Guo Zhi pressed him back: "Don't be pretentious! I don't dislike you."

As a result, he couldn't resist his eyes, so he clicked his tongue; "Wait." He went to the bathroom and found half a bottle of mouthwash.

Alex rinsed his mouth and spit in the trash before laying down in peace.

Guo Zhi tucked the quilt for him and rambled: "If you sweat well, the sweat will go away and the fever will go away."

"Don't be like my brother. I think my brother is so stupid now. He must have burned his brain with a fever when he was a child."
