Chapter 178 Comfort yourself
Chapter 178 Comfort yourself
As expected, when Xu Mingyuan opened his eyes, he found a head on his chest.
Xu Mingyuan now feels this kind of scene a little unfamiliar. Last time it was Xiao Yangzhi, and the time before that he seemed to have forgotten who it was, and he could hardly remember what she looked like.
Xu Mingyuan lifted a corner of the quilt and saw that Xiao Yangzhi was dressed warmly. He breathed a sigh of relief and covered himself with the quilt again.
Xiao Yangzhi's head was against his chin, her soft hair was wet. Xu Mingyuan touched her forehead, which was a little hot and had a thin layer of sweat.
Xiao Yangzhi's breathing was even but a little heavy. Her little mouth was slightly open, and her saliva had wet a coin-sized pattern. She was sleeping very soundly.
Xu Mingyuan moved and tried to pull his hand back.
But Xiao Yangzhi just let out a long "hmm...", frowned slightly and clutched his clothes tightly, with no intention of waking up.
It should be due to the low fever and drowsiness from the medication. It was the first time that Xu Mingyuan saw her sleeping so soundly.
He patted her back gently and seeing that she relaxed, Xu Mingyuan reached out for the quilt and covered her tightly.
He vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have snatched the quilt from him last night. Fortunately, he felt hot and threw the quilt aside, otherwise the little girl would have been cold all night.
Xu Mingyuan yawned and saw that it was not yet six o'clock, so he decided to continue sleeping in.
When he woke up again, it was already 7:30 in the morning. Xiao Yangzhi was still in the same position as before, with her mouth closed and a peaceful look on her face.
I felt for my phone next to my pillow and saw a text message from Tao Shuxin. She was probably in the cafeteria having breakfast at that time, so I texted her back.
Tao Shuxin complained that he didn't have breakfast with her today. The two of them usually had a regular schedule and would usually see each other in the morning.
After dinner, they went to class together. If Xu Mingyuan was really free and had nothing to do, he would go and sit in on the company's meeting at nine o'clock in the morning. Sometimes he would say a few words to make his presence felt.
Sailing technology is in a steady growth stage, so there is no need for him to oversee it.
What Xu Mingyuan needs to do now is to select some available talents from among them, so that when he sets up another company, there will be people available directly.
After exchanging more than a dozen text messages, Tao Shuxin went to her morning class. Xu Mingyuan played Snake with one hand for a while, and then hooked her soft hair ends and spun around.
More than half an hour later, Xiao Yangzhi moved his body and put his legs over. Not long after, his whole body froze.
Xu Mingyuan noticed her little movement, shook her shoulder and said, "Get up if you wake up, don't be embarrassed, why are you pretending to sleep?"
Xiao Yangzhi held her breath and slowly exhaled. Her face flushed as she hesitantly whispered, "Brother, I, I want to lie down for a while longer..."
"Then you lie down. I'll get up first. Aren't you ashamed? Why are you coming to me?"
Seeing that she didn't dare to look up to see people, Xu Mingyuan pushed the mattress and sat up.
"me……"
Yang Zhi hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain the reason.
"Drowsily asleep?"
"Um……"
Yang Zhi wanted to nod, but then felt like she was lying, so she buried her face in the mattress and pretended to be stupid.
"I feel like the heater in your room is warmer than mine. You should stay in your room today and don't go the wrong way again."
"No, the heaters are all at the same temperature..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Yes, you have a fever but you don't feel it. This room is small and retains heat. You can stay in the south room when the heating is turned off during the day."
Xu Mingyuan covered her with the quilt, went to get the thermometer and asked her to take her temperature.
After getting dressed and boiling a pot of water, I went downstairs to buy food.
I bought some porridge and tea eggs for Xiao Yangzhi, and carried a bag of buns. When I came back, I saw that Xiao Yangzhi had already gotten up. She was sitting on the sofa wearing a long down jacket and holding a cup of hot water.
"Is it still cold?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"It's not cold anymore. I was just afraid of getting cold, so I put on more clothes."
"Well, you haven't taken your medicine yet?"
"No, the doctor said I should take it after dinner."
"Okay, how high is the fever?"
"It's 38.1 now. I'm not as dizzy as I was yesterday. Why don't I get the injection today..."
Yang Zhi pleaded pitifully.
"Let's wait and see in the afternoon. If you feel better, don't go. If you still have a fever, go get another shot."
Xu Mingyuan ignored her pretending to be pitiful and asked her to come over for dinner.
Yang Zhi bit into the vegetarian buns, and occasionally looked up at Xu Mingyuan who was sitting opposite. If she was sick, she would be taken care of, but she didn't have much work to do, and now her only remaining responsibilities were taken over, which made Yang Zhi feel a little uneasy.
"Do you have any laundry?"
After dinner, Xu Mingyuan asked when he saw Xiao Yangzhi taking the medicine.
"I can wash it myself, brother, you just take a rest first."
"Tsk, you're such a slow kid. Don't you have a washing machine at home? Where's your school uniform? We can wash it together."
Xu Mingyuan ignored her, threw the clothes he brought back into the washing machine, poured in detergent, and prepared to soak them in water first.
Little Yangzhi ran over and stood aside, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"No no no."
Yang Zhi shook his head repeatedly.
"Then why are you staying here?"
The bathroom is small and Xu Mingyuan has to hide from her, which is really troublesome.
"Brother, my sweater might fade, so it's not good to wash it together. Brother, you don't need to add so much detergent, it will be very troublesome when rinsing the clothes..."
Yang Zhi picked out the black clothes, put them into two piles, and grabbed a handful of laundry detergent and put it back into the bag.
As time goes by, it becomes my job.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'll call you when I need to be dried."
Yang Zhi was busy with her work with a flushed face, and she inadvertently pushed Xu Mingyuan aside.
Seeing how meticulously Xiao Yangzhi worked, Xu Mingyuan went to connect the water pipes, feeling as if he had nothing else to do.
Finally, when the washing was finished, Xu Mingyuan picked up the clothes in the ice water and put them into the spin dryer, and the rest were handed over to Xiao Yangzhi for drying.
In the end, a sick little girl had to help wash the clothes. Xu Mingyuan was very embarrassed. He looked around and moved the clothes rack to another place.
The winter sun shines through the window and shines on my body, making me feel warm and comfortable.
"Go get some sun, I'll get you a blanket."
The soft stool had been exposed to the sun for the whole morning. It was next to the heater and was soft and warm. I let Xiao Yangzhi stay there.
After washing all the items, it was already twelve o'clock.
He had breakfast late and was not in a hurry to eat lunch, so Xu Mingyuan just curled up on the sofa and watched the midday news.
"The sunlight is so blinding."
Yang Zhi looked up at Xu Mingyuan and muttered something to himself.
Then he kept moving upwards until he had moved the pillow to occupy a spot on the sofa, and then he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
Xu Mingyuan tested the temperature of her forehead and asked her to take her own temperature. Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi really didn't want to go to the hospital for an IV drip, he didn't force her.
It is good to bask in the sun. Not long after, Yang Zhi fell into another drowsy sleep. Although he was still sweating, he felt much better.
There was nothing to do after that. After asking the teacher about homework, Yang Zhi moved a small stool to use as a desk and opened a book next to the radiator.
Under the influence of nine years of compulsory education, Yang Zhi is very obedient.
She has never taken leave since she was a child, and both of them were taken by Xu Mingyuan.
When Yang Zhi thought about falling behind in classes, she felt like a huge disaster was about to happen. She couldn't go back to get the papers that had been handed out, but she would finish the remaining homework despite the discomfort.
"Brother, are you going out?"
Seeing Xu Mingyuan put on his clothes, Yang Zhi looked up and asked.
"Well, go pick up Taotao and take him back to Nanxi. Just stay at home and do your homework. If you're hungry, heat up some food for yourself. Don't wash the dishes. Wait until I get back."
There is nothing to do if you just sit there. Although Xu Mingyuan is lazy, he is not like Xiao Yangzhi who likes to stay at home. He always wants to go out for a walk.
"Oh, I'm glad my brother is back."
Yang Zhi was in a low mood, but she didn't show it.
She will try to comfort herself and look for the better side of everything...
