After entering the house, Shi Niange quickly walked away from Uncle Tai and went behind Qin Siting. âSit down first. Iâll go get somethingâ-â
âGo back to your room to rest.â Qin Siting interrupted her and turned back to look at her.
Shi Niange instinctively felt that since it was Qin Sitingâs first time at her house, she should pour some water or take out some food to let him sit down and rest.
However, in his eyes, she was just a patient that could not do anything.
âNian Nian, go back to your room and lie down.â Uncle Qin gave her a look. Actually, there was another meaning in his gaze. Along the way, Uncle Qin noticed that Shi Niange seemed to be very warm to Qin Siting. He had the feeling that his Young Miss liked the other party more, but the other party was cold and did not respond much. He still wanted her to take the opportunity to rest and calm down while she was sick.
Shi Niange did have a headache. She could not show off now. Seeing that Qin Siting did not treat her as an outsider and did not need her to do anything, she regained some awareness of her illness and went upstairs to her room.
However, after returning to her room, she tossed and turned but could not fall asleep. Even though her head hurt, she could not fall asleep.
About ten minutes later, Uncle Qin knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that she was still awake, he came over to bring a cup of hot water and fever medicine. âYou took the medicine several hours ago. You can take it again.â
Shi Niange stood up to take her medicine, then turned to look out the door. After swallowing the medicine, she asked, âWhereâs Qin Siting?â
âHeâs downstairs. Donât worry. He hasnât left. Just sleep in peace.â Uncle Qin took the cup from her and looked at the time. He then said, âBut I have to leave in half an hour. My child has something to attend to in school this afternoon. The childâs mother doesnât have time to go, so I have to go. Can you stay at home?â
âIâm just sleeping. Whatâs wrong with that? Go do whatever you have to do.â Shi Niange waved her hand gently.
However, she suddenly remembered that Qin Siting was still here. Before she could ask, Uncle Qin said, âIâve called the Shi family. Your Auntie Liu and Auntie Xu will come to take care of you in a while, but itâll take at least an hour for them to rush over. Let Student Qin accompany you for a while. He will go back home when they arrive.â
In other words, she still had time to be alone with Qin Siting?
âSure!â Shi Niange smiled.
Seeing her smile, Uncle Qin knew what she was thinking. He smiled helplessly and left.
At the thought that she would have the time to be alone with Qin Siting later, Shi Niange could not fall asleep. She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before picking up the thermometer to check the temperature. It was 38 degrees Celsius, and she did not feel as uncomfortable as she did in the morning.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car. She quickly got up from the bed and went to the window to see Uncle Taiâs car driving away.
Auntie Liu and Auntie Xu, who were rushing over from the Shi family, happened to call at this moment. They said that there was a traffic jam on the road and would take at least half an hour to arrive. They asked her to have a good rest.
âAll right, Iâm fine. My fever isnât as bad as it was in the morning. Iâm much better. Thereâs no need to rush over.â Shi Niange picked up the phone and walked out. She stood by the staircase and looked down. She saw Qin Siting standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows downstairs. He seemed to be looking at the villa opposite hers.
He heard the sound of her answering the phone and turned around to look at her.
âUncle Tai asked you to accompany me here?â She hung up the phone and walked down.
âEn.â Qin Siting responded and saw that she had come down. âWhy arenât you sleeping in the room?â
âI slept quite well last night, and I slept in the hospital for so long in the morning. Even if my head hurts, I canât sleep now.â She looked out of the window as she spoke. âWhat are you looking at?â
âNothing.â Qin Siting saw that her expression was still ugly and walked over. He stood in front of her and lowered his eyes to look at her.
Right now, her favorite person was standing in front of her. He had one hand in his pocket and was looking down at her. The distance between them was very, very close. It was so close that if she raised her head slightly, she would feel as though her breath would intertwine with his. Right now, she could clearly smell the scent on his body. It was a very clean and refreshing mint scent. There was also a hint of detergent. It was clear and cold, with a hint of fragrance.
âHow high is your fever now?â he asked.
âI took a look just now. Itâs 38 degrees,â she answered obediently.
âEn, you donât want to sleep anymore?â
âI canât sleep.â If youâre here, I wonât be able to sleep. Itâs rare for us to be alone together. When the two Shi familyâs aunties come later, there wonât be such an opportunity! She definitely wonât sleep at such a rare time.
âAll right, sit down first,â Qin Siting said. He raised his hand and was about to touch her forehead, but before he could touch her, he suddenly saw her looking up with stars in her eyes. He paused and then retracted his hand.
Shi Niange turned around and sat on the sofa. She then turned to look at him like an obedient little student, as though waiting for his next command.
Qin Siting saw her expression and did not say anything. He only looked at her haggard appearance. âYou vomited everything you ate this morning?â
âEn.â
âCan you still eat now?â
âI donât know. I donât feel hungry now.â
âIâll go get some food. Try some?â
Shi Niangeâs expression changed from obedient to surprised. âAre you going to make it?â
In fact, she wanted to ask if he actually knew how to cook. However, she felt that it wasnât good to say this. Qin Siting didnât seem like someone who would casually boast. If he said he knew how to cook, then he really did.
In fact, the two aunties from the Shi family had come to take care of her and had specially come to cook for her. However, compared to these, she naturally wanted to eat Qin Sitingâs cooking!
Qin Siting did not answer. He only raised his brows, asking if she wanted to eat it.
âEat, eat, eat. Iâll eat whatever you cook.â
He glanced at her again and snorted. He did not answer her obviously infatuated words and turned to look for the ingredients in the kitchen.
Shi Niange quickly followed him. She stood outside the kitchen door and saw that he had already entered to open the fridge. She poked her head in and said, âThere are fruits and various vegetables in the fridge. They were all prepared by Auntie Xiang when she came over. As this villa is quite far from the supermarket, there seems to be quite a lot of frozen things. Otherwise, you donât need to prepare something too troublesome. We can just cook some glutinous rice balls.â
