Chapter 536: Not Allowed to Eat Such Stuff Outside In the Future
He watched over her in the ward. When morning came, Gu Qingjiu finally regained some consciousness.
When she opened her eyes, she saw white walls in front of her, and not the army green bunk bed she was familiar with. All that entered her sight was an extremely clean shade of white.
It was… the hospital?
Gu Qingjiu completely opened her eyes and gazed around at her surroundings in a dazed state.
She saw He Niancheng sitting on the chair beside the ward bed.
He was flipping through a book, a visible stubble formed on his chin.
Sensing movement on the bed, He Niancheng got up and walked over. “You’re awake?”
“Chief Instructor, why are you here?”
Gu Qingjiu propped up her body, wanting to sit up. Yet she realized her body was awfully sore, and her head was aching so badly it felt like it was going to explode.
After some struggle, she failed to sit up straight.
He Niancheng had already walked over. He reached out a hand to touch her forehead. “The doctor said your fever has subsided, but you might experience a severe headache. Don’t move about for the time being.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu stopped moving. With a puzzled expression, she asked, “What’s wrong with me?”
She had no memory of what had happened.
“You’re infected with an influenza virus and ran a high fever last night. Your dorm mates and commanding officer sent you to this hospital. I received news of this, so I came over to accompany you last night.”
He Niancheng sounded perfectly natural when he said, ‘Accompany you last night.’
Because it was the truth.
When she heard this, Gu Qingjiu suddenly understood how the stubble on his chin came about, making her feel a pang in the chest.
“Did you not sleep at all last night?”
After she spoke, she suddenly felt hot all over again.
Other than that, she felt like she was soaked in water or something.
It was an extremely uncomfortable sensation.
She shifted her body while He Niancheng gazed gently at her. “Are you still feeling very uncomfortable?”
“No, I just feel sticky all over…”
Gu Qingjiu mumbled, “I feel like I sweated a lot.”
“Last night, you perspired enough to have enough water for a hot shower.”
He Niancheng scraped her nose. “Do you know what had caused this?”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head slightly, still feeling incredibly confused. “I didn’t even know I fell sick.”
“You probably caught it when you went to Longyue Mall with your mother.”
So Gu Qingjiu didn’t know why this happened. That meant it should be a minor matter.
She had bought a small bag of crispy pear fruits when they passed by the mall.
A newly introduced snack in the capital, crispy pear fruits was a deep-fried sweet and sour snack coated with batter.
Since Qin Wange and Qi Yuefeng didn’t like the snack, they didn’t eat it.
It turned out that the shop’s chef was infected with the influenza virus, and after accidentally cutting his finger while chopping food, he didn’t disinfect.
He later went on to mix the flour, and all the customers who ate the crispy pear fruits ended up getting infected.
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t the only one.
The shop would probably have to compensate quite a lot of people.
At that moment, He Niancheng should focus on taking care of Gu Qingjiu and trust Joker to handle this matter.
It was nothing big, but no one could have expected it would lead to Gu Qingjiu falling sick.
It was certain that He Niancheng felt a hint of rage in his heart.
Thankfully, it was only the flu. If a different disease infected Gu Qingjiu, it would be unimaginable.
He tapped Gu Qingjiu’s head and said in his deep voice, “You’re not to eat such stuff outside in the future.”
