Chapter 76

Ning Xi suddenly realized: no wonder she felt like Fu Zhi’s ears were burning earlier!

She got up and went next door to Fu Zhi’s room.

The room was brightly lit, and the director was currently taking Fu Zhi’s temperature.

The staff were urgently contacting the nearest hospital.

“When Mr. Fu went to sleep just now, he didn’t even turn on the fan. He didn’t say a word and just went to sleep quietly. The Program Team felt something was wrong, so we quietly sent a male staff member to check on him, and we found that Mr. Fu had a severe fever,” Director Qin said.

[“Didn’t say a word,” “Went to sleep quietly,” “The Program Team felt something was wrong.”]

[Yeah, normally Fu Zhi would have cursed a few times before going to bed, hahaha.]

[Seriously, are Ning Xi and Fu Zhi cursed when they’re together? Last night they almost took themselves out with cockroach medicine, and today he has a fever.]

[Fu Zhi: Leave me alone.]

Ning Xi, however, nodded with a rare look of seriousness. “It might be from when he saved that person in the river this afternoon. He probably caught a chill.”

The water temperature in the river was low and the damp cold was heavy. Moreover, raw water contained many bacteria. A pampered Young Master like Fu Zhi definitely couldn’t handle it after accidentally swallowing some of that water.

Hearing Ning Xi’s voice, Fu Zhi forced his heavy eyelids open. “Ning Xi…”

Seeing the uncharacteristically quiet Fu Zhi, Ning Xi suddenly laughed. “This fever isn’t high enough. You’re almost at forty degrees, yet you haven’t even passed out.”

“You brat…” Fu Zhi cursed, using every ounce of strength he had.

“Still got the energy to curse, so it looks like it’s not a big deal. Come on, I’ll help you to the hospital,” Ning Xi said.

A sick person felt as heavy as a ton of lead. It took Ning Xi quite some effort to help Fu Zhi up.

Director Qin and the staff were about to step forward to help, but a pair of hands was faster than them.

Ning Xi felt the weight on her shoulders lighten significantly. She looked up and saw it was Shen Yibai.

He took over supporting Fu Zhi, his brow furrowed low and his expression indifferent. “I’ll do it.”

Ning Xi let go readily.

She didn’t even wonder why Shen Yibai had arrived so timely.

It wasn’t until the three of them were in the car prepared by the Program Team and Shen Yibai had settled Fu Zhi in that he spoke softly to Ning Xi.

“You should go back. I can handle things here.”

“Forget it. I played the Water Splashing Game with Fu Zhi tonight; I’m partly to blame for his condition worsening,” Ning Xi said honestly. “Besides, I didn’t notice he was feeling unwell earlier.”

Shen Yibai paused. He knew better than anyone what it was like when these two played games together.

“It’s not your fault. It was his own-”

“It was my own choice to play,” Fu Zhi explained, opening his eyes in a daze.

Then, the three of them fell silent.

They all tacitly stopped talking.

The netizens, however, had already exploded.

[These three!!! This mysterious chemistry!!! They are absolutely, definitely very close in private!]

[Fu Zhi has a fever, and the Program Team only notified Ning Xi and Shen Yibai. Just think about what kind of relationship that implies!]

[They hid it so well! I almost thought Shen Yibai and Ning Xi had a bad relationship!]

The car soon arrived at the hospital.

Fu Zhi’s fever was over thirty-nine degrees, so he was immediately put on an IV drip and lay on the hospital bed to sleep.

Ning Xi sat on the sofa opposite the bed, staring blankly.

Until a bottle of water appeared in front of her.

Ning Xi was indeed a bit thirsty. She took the water without looking much at Shen Yibai. “Thanks.”

Shen Yibai also sat on the sofa, though he kept some distance from Ning Xi.

He seemed to have come in a great hurry; his shirt was put on haphazardly, and the top button was undone, creating a contrast with his usual meticulous and rigorous appearance.

Ning Xi was even less concerned with formalities-no makeup, slippers, a blue pajama set, and her hair tied up randomly.

Yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

One leaned lazily against the sofa in a daze, while the other looked indifferently at Fu Zhi’s IV drip.

A breeze blew in from the hallway, and the two of them let out a soft sigh in unison.

[Strange, I actually think this scene has a lot of CP vibes.]

[It feels like a mom and dad taking their kid to see a doctor.]

[This world really is just one giant face-value competition. Two good-looking people can look messy in a hospital and people will still ship them.]

[Please don’t ship them randomly, the CP situation is already a mess.]

[…]

Seeing that Fu Zhi’s condition had stabilized, Director Qin turned off the livestream.

“Teachers, we’ve arranged for two staff members to wait outside. The driver and the car are also waiting. Once Mr. Fu finishes his IV, just notify the staff to take him back to the house.”

It was already eleven o’clock. The Program Team staff had been tired all day and had to prepare for tomorrow’s activities, so they needed to rest.

“There’s no need to trouble the staff and the driver. We can head back ourselves tomorrow morning,” Ning Xi said.

Director Qin hesitated for a moment but decided it was feasible. “Alright then. If anything happens, contact us directly.”

Thus, only Ning Xi, Shen Yibai, and the deeply sleeping Fu Zhi remained in the ward.

Ning Xi felt bored and didn’t want to talk to Shen Yibai, so she took out her phone and started teasing a mosquito for fun.

She pulled up a photo of her own arm, wanting to see if the mosquito would fall for it and fly onto the phone to suck blood.

However, just as the mosquito was about to buzz over…

Smack.

Shen Yibai expressionlessly wrapped the mosquito’s corpse in a tissue and threw it into the trash can.

He was calm and silent.

Ning Xi’s face was full of disbelief: ???

Do you know how a monkey screams?

So annoying!
