After comforting Gu Jiahao, Ye Xinrui no longer wanted to sleep and got up to go find her parents.

"Dad, Mom." Ye Xinrui stood at the door and shouted.

The old couple woke up in a daze and saw Ye Xinrui standing at the door of the room.

"Why did this child get up so early today?" Father Ye looked at his watch.

"Dad, Mom, um, Grandma Gu passed away." Ye Xinrui burst into tears after saying this. She had been holding back crying just now because she was afraid of irritating Gu Jiahao.

"What!" Father Ye and Mother Ye stood up at the same time.

"Gu Jiahao's grandma passed away and just called me."

Mother Ye immediately picked up her phone. She must have seen some news, and immediately covered her mouth and started crying.

"Xinrui, you go back to the house and have a good sleep first, and leave the rest to your parents." Father Ye said to Ye Xinrui while gently comforting Mother Ye.

Ye Xinrui felt a little tired, so she went back to the house to rest. When she woke up again, it was Ye's mother who called her.

"Xinrui, mom and dad are going to drive to Jiahao's hometown to help. When Jiahao comes back, take care of him and keep an eye on him. I have already transferred the money to you. You can just order takeout for dinner. Please comfort Jiahao.

.”

"He's back?" Ye Xinrui was a little sleepy.

"Not yet, your Aunt Gu said that the bus is coming back today, so you should pay more attention. My parents are leaving first." Mother Ye and Father Ye left the house after explaining the matter in a heated manner.

Ye Xinrui also got out of bed, put on her home clothes, and wandered around the house, sometimes going to the door to look, sometimes lying on the balcony to look, and when she felt hungry, she would order some takeout.

Before she knew it, it was night, and Ye Xinrui fell asleep on the sofa.

"Ding ding ding." It was already the evening of the next day when Mama Ye's phone call came.

"Hey, Mom."

"How is Jiahao?"

"I just wanted to ask you when he will arrive. I've been waiting all day."

"What? Jiahao went back yesterday afternoon. What do you think, kid?"

"Uh, you came back yesterday? That's impossible. I knocked on the door, but there was no response."

"Don't you have a key? Open the door and take a look. It's really not reassuring to ask you to take care of someone."

"Okay, I understand, you can do your work, I'll go take a look." Ye Xinrui quickly hung up the phone, grabbed the Gu family's key at the door and went out.

When I called the door, it was empty inside. It didn't feel like anyone was home.

"Gu Jiahao, brother Jiahao." Ye Xinrui shouted.

When no one responded, Ye Xinrui walked directly to Gu Jiahao's room. The door was ajar, and she pushed it open gently, revealing a person curled up on the bed.

"You're back, why don't you say anything?" Ye Xinrui walked over.

Why is there no response? Ye Xinrui pushed Gu Jiahao.

Oh my God, why are you trembling and your forehead is so hot? Only then did Ye Xinrui realize that Gu Jiahao was sick and hurriedly ran home to get the medical kit.

After adjusting Gu Jiahao's sleeping position, he took out the thermometer to measure his temperature. Five minutes later, Ye Xinrui took out the thermometer.

"Oh my god, it's thirty-nine degrees eight, what should I do? Send me to the hospital? But I can't move you." Ye Xinrui was anxious.

If it doesn't work, just drink medicine first. Ye Xinrui found the antipyretic medicine and was about to open it when she remembered that her mother had said not to take medicine on an empty stomach. Gu Jiahao was probably in such a state that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, so he ordered some porridge for him.

"Here, I'll put a fever-reducing patch on you." Ye Xinrui pulled Gu Jiahao's head and put the fever-reducing patch on his forehead.

"Look at you, you don't clean yourself up even when you go out. You are unshaven like an uncle." Ye Xinrui said as she touched the stubble on Gu Jiahao's chin. "How about I shave it off for you out of mercy?

.”

Ye Xinrui shaved the sleeping Gu Jiahao with a razor, "It looks perfect this way." Ye Xinrui was very satisfied with her masterpiece.

Maybe it was because the temperature had dropped a bit, but Gu Jiahao woke up in a daze.

"Xinrui?" Gu Jiahao was a little unsure of the person beside the bed.

"I'm here. You just woke up. I ordered a bowl of porridge. You get up and drink it. Then we can take medicine. You have a fever." Ye Xinrui pointed to her forehead.

Gu Jiahao weakly reached out and touched the fever-reducing patch on his forehead, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Let me help you get up and drink porridge."

Perhaps because he hadn't eaten for a long time and had a fever, Gu Jiahao didn't have much energy and would break out into a sweat even with the slightest exertion.

"Let me feed you." Ye Xinrui picked up the porridge and fed it to Gu Jiahao with a small spoon.

Ye Xinrui looked at Gu Jiahao with blood-red eyes and felt a little distressed for no reason. She had stayed up for a long time and cried a lot. Her eyes were red and swollen.

"That." Ye Xinrui wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"I'm fine." Gu Jiahao comforted.

"But you don't look like you're okay." Ye Xinrui exposed him, "You're already at home, so you don't have to pretend to be strong. There's no one around, so I've dimmed the lights for you."

Gu Jiahao turned his head to the side, and soon his shoulders began to shake. Ye Xinrui didn't know why she suddenly knelt down on the bed and held Gu Jiahao's head in her arms. Gu Jiahao hugged Ye Xinrui's waist tightly with both hands.

"Cry, cry, it's better to cry out than to hold it in."

"Ye Xinrui, can you please not leave?" Gu Jiahao begged with a crying tone.

"If you don't leave, I will always be there." Ye Xinrui also subconsciously answered.

"I'm talking about tonight and the future." Gu Jiahao asked Ye Xinrui to sit on the bed.

"I won't leave, I will always be by your side." Ye Xinrui didn't hear the deeper meaning, thinking that they were just childhood sweethearts forever.

"Thank you." In fact, Gu Jiahao was also confused, so he said it half-confessively.

"Take the medicine and sleep well." Ye Xinrui handed the medicine to Gu Jiahao.

Gu Jiahao took the medicine obediently and took his temperature again. The temperature dropped slightly, thirty-eight degrees nine.

Ye Xinrui also took advantage of the situation to lie down next to Gu Jiahao. Anyway, this was not the first time she slept on the same bed. It felt like she had slept on it countless times since she was a child.

Gu Jiahao accidentally pulled Ye Xinrui into his arms. It happened to be late winter, so Ye Xinrui used the feverish Gu Jiahao as a heater and put her cold hands and feet on him.

"Ye Xinrui, if you look like this, my fever may not go away."

Ye Xinrui quickly put her hands and feet down and lay down obediently.

"Gu Jiahao, you will be eighteen years old soon, and you will be an adult, but I don't seem to have prepared a gift for you this year." Ye Xinrui felt sorry.

"It's okay, you already gave me the best birthday gift." Gu Jiahao hugged Ye Xinrui and closed his eyes.

Is there any? Ye Xinrui was confused. Is it because of the fever? Did I give him some air? Or what? It doesn’t matter, as long as Gu Jiahao is not angry.
