Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Running a Fever

The driver gradually slowed the car down.

Zhao Yuexiu lifted her eyes from her mobile phone and glanced at Chi Guiyi, noticing her slouched posture and listless appearance, reminiscent of wealthy second-generation kids after a night of wild partying. Her face turned cold, “She’s not going back to the Chi Family home, so why pick her up?”

The driver pressed on the gas pedal, accelerating the car again.

The taxi came to a slow stop in front of Chi Gui.

Fu Si respectfully opened the car door for her, briefly looking in the direction where the Chi Family car had left.

Chi Gui got into the car, feeling her eyelids heavy. She put away her phone, “I’m going to sleep for a bit. Wake me when we arrive.”

“Okay,” Fu Si nodded, sitting in the passenger seat.

Chi Gui closed her eyes.

Inside “Wait for You” medical supply store.

Qin Cheng carefully handed over the documents to Fu Si, not daring to even breathe too loud, “Mr. Fu… this is everything… For this matter, will you be personally handling it back in Capital City, or…?”

Fu Si lay on a lounge chair by the window, his slender fingers slowly flipping through the documents. After a while, he let out a light chuckle and casually tossed the documents onto the table.

“These people have got some nerve.” He rose from the lounge chair, stretching languidly. His eyes, slightly upturned, were dark and sharp, as if holding an unfathomable blackness, “I’ll head back to Capital City tonight. I need to return here before eight tomorrow morning.”

“That urgent?” Qin Cheng was somewhat surprised. The flight alone would take at least four hours round-trip, leaving virtually no time for rest. “Do you have something urgent here?”

“Of course.” Fu Si smiled slightly, pushing up his glasses with his middle finger, “I can’t miss the breakfast personally made by Chi.”

Qin Cheng: …

Fu Si walked out lazily, “Did you deliver the groceries I bought for Chi?”

“Delivered,” Qin Cheng said, somewhat speechless but not showing it. “I bought a little bit of everything. I checked with the nutritionist from the Fu Family to make sure the combination of vegetables is the most nutritious.”

Fu Si was pleased, “Did you also stick the note I wrote?”

Qin Cheng was even more speechless, “Yes, it’s stuck on there…”

When Chi Gui returned home and wearily climbed the stairs, she saw a key stuck to the wall along with a note:

[Chi, the groceries I bought are in my fridge, help yourself~]

The message was fine, but below it was a cartoon version of Fu Si, striking an exceedingly flirty pose with a blown kiss.

Fu Si: …

Without expression, Chi Gui tore off the note and instructed Fu Si, “Go fetch them.”

Fu Si was incredibly surprised, “Really fetch them?”

Were Professor Chi and Mr. Fu’s relationship so close?

Chi Gui used the key to open the door, her tone quite calm, “That’s a fifty percent discount on medical supplies and a hundred dollars’ worth of groceries. Why not take them?”

Fu Si: …

He suddenly felt that he had never really known Professor Chi before.

However, this version of Professor Chi somehow reduced the distance of the ‘unattainable flower,’ adding a touch of worldly life.

Fu Si fetched the groceries and left.

Chi Gui ordered Little Guai to sort the groceries into the refrigerator. She didn’t have the energy to cook, so she just warmed up a cup of milk to drink before going to bed.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Chi Gui woke up, her throat felt as if it were on fire, and her whole body was lethargic, devoid of strength.

Her head felt slightly dizzy.

She frowned; this reaction was likely due to catching a chill while sleeping in the classroom the previous day and then getting caught in the rain, leading to a cold accompanied by a slight fever.

Back when she was a doctor and busy to the point of exhaustion, sometimes she wouldn’t realize she had a fever until it broke. Only then would she recognize her previous discomfort as symptoms of a fever.

Chi Gui didn’t make much of the temperature increase. She got out of bed, took two fever-reducing pills, and was about to go to the kitchen to cook when the doorbell suddenly rang.
