Following the clues in my memory, I found the first-aid kit in the computer desk drawer, took out a few packets of cold medicine, and then went out to deliver them to Xu Liya's house.
To be honest, I've been a tough guy for so long, and I've basically never taken any cold medicine. Every time I catch a cold, I just tough it out with my body.
Of course, this is on the premise that he was a strong man with excellent physical fitness in the past. If he were to change to his current frail and weak body, it probably wouldn't work.
Seeing how uncomfortable Xu Liya looked, I could already imagine what it would be like if she got sick in her current body.
Putting aside my other thoughts, I arrived at Xu Liya's door. Before I could knock, Xu Liya seemed to have noticed my footsteps and opened the door.
When I arrived at Xu Liya's house, I didn't say much, but immediately told her, "Go to bed and rest first, leave the rest to me."
Xu Liya seemed to want to say something, but after hearing my instructions, she just nodded and went to her room.
I watched Xu Liya's figure and sighed helplessly.
Phew, what happened? I was so careless, I even caught a cold from the air conditioning.
After mentally grumbling for a while, I headed towards the kitchen.
As soon as I got to the kitchen, I was reminded of the incident yesterday when I knocked over Xu Liya's basin of water. I hope that a similar accident won't happen this time.
The kettle is right next to the stove; I saw it yesterday when I was helping out here.
Standing on a small stool, I could barely hold the kettle to fill it with water. After filling it, I placed it on the base to boil.
I was quite bored while waiting for the water to boil, and I didn't know what to do.
But when I saw a bag of noodles that had already been opened next to the kettle, I suddenly had another idea: since I'm already here, why not make breakfast for Xu Liya as well? It would be too much trouble for her to make breakfast by herself while she's sick after I leave.
I originally wanted to ask Xu Liya if she wanted me to cook noodles for her, but considering that she had only rested for a short time, I thought that since there was no real need, it was better not to bother her.
Judging from her appearance just now, I think she probably hasn't eaten much.
Then let's wait until the noodles are cooked, and then take them over with the prepared medicine.
Thinking of this, I picked up the pot again and went to the sink to get water. After getting the water, I laboriously carried the pot and placed it on the breakfast rack.
Thinking about what had happened before, I was very careful this time to avoid causing Xu Liya any more trouble.
Although I'm not very skilled at it, I can still do simple things like cooking noodles. I thought that sick people wouldn't have much of an appetite, so I didn't cook much.
Soon, a steaming bowl of noodles was ready. I carried the bowl of noodles in one hand and the cold medicine in a cup in the other, and walked towards Xu Liya's room.
"I've prepared the cold medicine and breakfast!"
202. Maybe it's not as unreliable as it seems...
"Can I come in?"
I stood at the door and asked softly, but Xu Liya did not answer. Then, footsteps came from inside the room, and the door was slowly opened.
Xu Liya opened the door. Seeing that I was carrying things in both hands, she immediately reached out and took the noodles from my hands.
I carried the remaining medicine to her bedside table and slowly put it down. Then I turned around and said to her, "Didn't I tell you to rest in bed? I was just asking if it was convenient for you. You don't need to get out of bed to open the door."
Xu Liya followed behind me, placed the noodles on the bedside table, and then calmly explained to me after curling up on the bed, "I was just afraid something might happen when you opened the door."
Hearing this, I gave a helpless wry smile. It seems that the incident of spilling the water basin yesterday has solidified my image as clumsy in Xu Liya's mind. To the point that she would worry if I walked on a flat floor with something in my hand. But this was all my own fault.
I sat on the edge of the bed and put down what I was holding before I had time to take a closer look at Xu Liya's appearance. She was lying on the bed with her long, slender hair casually draped around her. There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her originally fair cheeks were flushed, which didn't look very healthy. She bit her lip slightly, and her sick appearance was quite heartbreaking to see.
I placed my cold little hand on her forehead, and warmth immediately came from my palm. It wasn't very hot; she probably had a cold, but it hadn't reached the point of having a fever.
As for the exact temperature, I plan to take it later when I have time. Right now, the most important thing is to get Xu Liya to take her medicine and then eat noodles.
Before I could say anything, Xu Liya had already finished the cold medicine I had prepared. She put the cup on the bedside table and then lay down.
Seeing this, I assumed Xu Liya had forgotten, so I whispered to her, "Um, aren't you going to eat the noodles?"
Xu Liya waved her hand and answered me in a weak voice, "I don't really want to eat..."
"Eat something to replenish your energy," I patiently persuaded. Although I had made it on my own, I didn't want it to go to waste.
"I don't want to eat, I just don't want to eat..."
Xu Liya shook her hand again and curled up into a ball.
Hearing Xu Liya say the same thing again, my tone became a little firmer, "No, you have to eat something even if you don't want to, otherwise you won't have the strength and your body will recover even more slowly!"
Hearing my slightly forceful tone, Xu Liya looked up at me. I was also stunned for a second before realizing that my tone just now seemed a bit inappropriate.
I was about to apologize, but Xu Liya made a concession first, saying, "The main thing is that I don't want to move, I don't want to move at all."
Hearing this, I think I understand. She wants to eat, but doesn't want to move at all. I can understand that, since I was like that when I was sick before.
If that's the case, then...
After thinking for a moment, I realized that my idea wasn't entirely unfeasible, so I said, "How about you sit on the bed and I feed you?"
Although it may be presumptuous, the most important thing right now is to get Xu Liya to eat this bowl of noodles; everything else can wait.
Besides, this lolicon wanted to feed me and the silly loli Gui Xiao before, so now it's just that he's being fed by the loli, he probably won't mind, right?
Sure enough, after a pause, Xu Liya slowly nodded and then sat up on the bed.
Seeing this, I picked up the noodles from the bedside table, took a little bit and brought it to Xu Liya's mouth. She sat up very cooperatively, opened her mouth and ate the noodles I brought her.
Watching Xu Liya obediently and docilely eat the noodles I picked up for her, I don't know why, but I found her unexpectedly cute.
This also somewhat eased my worries, and a faint smile appeared on my face.
But besides being cute, it also felt strangely familiar, though I couldn't quite put my finger on where that feeling of familiarity came from.
Noticing the smile on my face, Xu Liya looked up at me with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "What's wrong?"
I shook my head and replied, "Nothing, it's just that looking at you right now, I inexplicably find you kind of...cute?"
After hesitating for a moment, I still managed to utter the adjective that I wasn't even sure if it was presumptuous.
Upon hearing this, Xu Liya paused blankly, her cheeks, already flushed from illness, now appearing even redder.
"Is...is that so?"
Seeing Xu Liya's adorable appearance, my playful side was completely aroused, so I continued to tease her, saying, "Yes, especially now, because you're blushing even more because you're shy."
"Well!"
Xu Liya covered her cheek, staring at me with wide eyes, unsure of what to say.
Is this what it feels like to tease girls? It's so satisfying! I used to do this all the time when I was a boy, no wonder those bad women always like to tease me after I turned into a loli.
Now it's finally my turn to tease girls at night again!
I wanted to continue playing, but then I realized that my relationship with Xu Liya wasn't very close, and if we continued, something awkward might happen, so I changed the subject.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat your noodles, or they'll clump together."
After I finished speaking, I picked up a few more noodles and brought them to Xu Liya's mouth, and Xu Liya obediently ate them.
During the rest of the meal, we didn't say anything. I had only cooked a small bowl of noodles, so I finished it quickly.
Seeing that the noodles I cooked were all eaten, I felt a little happy, so I asked Xu Liya, "Do you want more? If you do, I'll order takeout for you."
Xu Liya waved her hand, finished her noodles, and lay back down on the bed.
As for why I said ordering takeout instead of cooking for her, it's because I glanced at the time. I just went out, bought breakfast, came back, found the medicine, prepared the medicine, cooked noodles, and fed her. It took more than an hour in total. Guiyue should be waking up soon, and I think it's better if she doesn't wake up to find that I'm not home.
After feeding her, I gave Xu Liya some brief instructions and then said goodbye, intending to return home.
…………
Xu Liya lay on the bed, watching the figure gradually leave, a warm smile on her face.
I never expected that I would be taken care of by her under these circumstances.
Xu Liya recalled Gui Ye's behavior just now, especially his attitude of persuading her to eat noodles, which was a mixture of gentleness and firmness. It was strangely similar to the person in her memory.
Maybe it's not as unreliable as it seems...
203. Leg pillow, meow~
After dealing with Xu Liya, I went downstairs to my own front door. I woke up at a little after four o'clock, and now, after being busy for so long, it's only five-thirty. Guiyue probably hasn't woken up yet.
With that in mind, I moved quietly and opened the door with the key as silently as possible. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard no movement from inside the room.
Thinking about how Guiyue looked after visiting Xu Liya's house yesterday, if she were already awake now, it would probably take a lot of effort to explain to her later.
But now that she hasn't woken up, things are easier. We just need to be gentle so as not to wake her.
Just as I was feeling relieved, I took a few steps forward and saw Guiyue. She was sitting on the bed, her eyes scrutinizing me in the dim light from the window, staring at me silently.
Faced with Guiyue's gaze, I couldn't help but force a smile, and then immediately explained to her, "I just... I just went out for a little while..."
Guiyue nodded without saying anything more.
Ugh, why do I feel so guilty?
Xu Liya is my landlady, and she's been pretty good to me. Even if I just take care of her in a normal way, it wouldn't be a big deal, right?
Thinking of this, I regained a little confidence and walked towards Guiyue. After sitting on the edge of the bed, I asked, "So, what time do you plan to go to school next?"
"It's six o'clock. My sister went to bed early yesterday and didn't leave me any time alone. I just want to spend the rest of the time with her."
Guiyue didn't seem to have slept enough. She rested her head on my shoulder, closed her eyes again, and had a relieved smile on her face.
