Fifteen minutes later, Ji Siyue waved her hand. Just now, she had given a brief introduction to her new place.
"So, what do you think? Isn't it okay?"
"Actually, I wanted to say this from the start. This is a pre - furnished apartment, and our rooms have the same layout..."
The smile on Ji Siyue's face instantly froze.
Then, like a robot, she turned around and sat back on the sofa.
"Senior, I just noticed. Could you change your clothes..."
She hadn't noticed before, but he had come over with wet hair, wearing a bathrobe. The collar was wide open, and she didn't even dare to look up at him.
Her reminder made Qin Chengyao aware of his appearance. A faint blush appeared on his usually calm face.
"Okay, I'll go back and change first. You should change your clothes too."
"Do I need to change? Why?"
As he turned around and walked away, he said, "There's a great restaurant downstairs. Consider it my welcome dinner for you. I'll cook for you tomorrow. It's too late today."
Ji Siyue didn't react for a long time. Finally, she nodded blankly.
"Okay."
It was very late after dinner. Ji Siyue was extremely tired and fell asleep without even taking off her clothes.
The next day, as expected, she caught a cold.
She staggered over to knock on Qin Chengyao's door, but he seemed to be out. Ji Siyue had no choice but to go back to her own place, hoping that she would get better soon.
When she was bored, she logged onto Weibo.
She hadn't been on Weibo for two days. The recording she had posted last time had caused quite a stir, and the uproar still hadn't died down even after two days.
The most discussed topic was - #The King Returns! The Hornets Re - form Their Team!#
After clicking on the topic, she accidentally saw people discussing the team members and whether the current team would still have the same people as before.
"Didn't Linlin die a long time ago? I heard from an insider that Linlin had a terminal illness and passed away."
Reading this comment, Ji Siyue fell into deep thought.
She seemed to recall the quietest figure in the CMK competition. Linlin was always so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. So, she was sick?
It seemed that there were only four people left in the team now. If there were only these four, how could they form a team?
Oh well! Forget it!
She hadn't streamed for two days. She guessed that Sister Fanghua would soon urge her. So, she assembled her computer and started a live - stream.
"Hello, everyone!" Ji Siyue greeted the audience in her hoarse voice due to the cold.
The number of viewers in the live - stream room increased rapidly, in the tens of thousands.
"Wow! This live - stream started so suddenly!"
"Anchor, you were absent from work without permission. Punish yourself by streaming for two more hours."
"Why is Yuebing's voice so hoarse?"
"Are you sick? Did you not stream these two days because you were sick?"
Ji Siyue read a few of the most frequently asked bullet - screen messages, then closed the public screen and said into the microphone, "Well, I've been quite busy these two days. I moved to a new house and accidentally caught a cold. I won't play games in today's live - stream. I just want to tell you that I'm still alive."
She closed the bullet - screen because she was afraid that there would be messages about the team and the game in the past two days. She felt that her mind was not very clear at the moment, so she just pretended not to see them and escaped for the time being.
After chatting with the viewers about her new house, she ended the live - stream and then posted a Weibo.
[Thank you all for your concern. I just set the air - conditioner too low and caught a cold. I'll recover as soon as possible. My voice and spirit are not in good condition at the moment. I'm very sorry. Thank you all for your support.]
As soon as the Weibo post was sent out, she received a lot of messages of sympathy.
After reading for a while, she still didn't wait for that person's message.
Where on earth was Qin Chengyao? It was so early in the morning, and there was no response when she knocked on the door.
After thinking for a while, she still sent a WeChat message.
[Ji Siyue]: Senior, where are you?
Less than two minutes later.
[Senior]: Open the door.
[Ji Siyue]: ???
[Senior]: Open the door.
This time, Ji Siyue didn't hesitate. She immediately ran to the door and opened it.
Qin Chengyao was standing at the door, out of breath. As soon as she opened the door, his first move was to reach out and touch her forehead.
Ji Siyue looked down and saw that he was holding a plastic bag from a pharmacy. There seemed to be several boxes of medicine inside.
"Where have you been?"
"I was going out to meet a friend, but then I saw your Weibo. I didn't even meet the person and just rushed back. How are you? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
In an instant, Ji Siyue felt her eyes getting moist.
To prevent him from seeing her like this, Ji Siyue just silently snuggled into Qin Chengyao's arms and hugged his waist.
"Senior, thank you. Thank you."
Qin Chengyao's hand froze in mid - air. Then, he gently placed it on her head and patted it, as gentle as if he were soothing a little animal.
"It's okay. I'm back."
Finally, after using Qin Chengyao's thermometer, Ji Siyue found out why she felt so uncomfortable - she had a fever of 39 degrees.
"You must go to the hospital!"
Qin Chengyao couldn't sit still anymore. He directly grabbed Ji Siyue and wanted to take her to the hospital.
Hearing this, Ji Siyue showed unprecedented resistance: "I don't want to go to the hospital! I don't want to!"
Qin Chengyao was stunned by her strong resistance.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I... I don't want to go to the hospital. I hate hospitals. Just give me some fever - reducing medicine."
Qin Chengyao remembered that she had stayed in the hospital for such a long time and suffered so much. Naturally, he understood her discomfort.
But: "But if you stay like this, you'll burn yourself stupid."
"I won't go, Senior. I've always been able to get better by taking medicine when I had a fever before."
Looking at Ji Siyue lying on the sofa like this, Qin Chengyao thought about how she had endured fevers alone in the past. He was really angry, but he had no other choice. He had to hold back his anger, pick out the pills, and feed them to her.
After taking the medicine, as the effect kicked in, Ji Siyue slept soundly for almost a whole day.
Fortunately, the medicine was somewhat effective. Her fever subsided a lot, and her body didn't hurt as much.
Just when she thought she would gradually get better, she received a call from across the ocean. After hearing the content of the call, she almost fainted on the spot.
"Yueyue... Mom has something to tell you. Your father and I are going to get divorced. Although you can't come back, we still decided to tell you this after discussion."
