50, fever

"Silly Xiao Xi, this is not a disease," Lu Xingzhi said, "this is love."

like......?

Cheng Xi's eyes were confused for a moment.

From the first time he met Tao Shiyan, he never had a good impression of that person because of Zhao Xiaotao's misunderstanding.

Moreover, that person had a venomous mouth and liked to tease him. He always used various methods to make him angry, which made him as annoying as possible.

But after thinking about it, Tao Shiyan's advantages are actually more prominent than these shortcomings.

For example, if you are good-looking and have a good figure, you are smart and have extremely strong business capabilities;

For example, I would bring breakfast when I learned that he had not eaten breakfast, I would give him stomach medicine after I found out that he had stomach trouble, I would set off orange fireworks on his birthday, and I would buy him milk after hearing that he wanted to drink coconut milk.

;

For example, he was very charming when he taught him how to act seriously and patiently. Sometimes after learning how to act, he would fall asleep on someone else's bed for no apparent reason. Tao Shiyan would not chase him away, but would let him hold him and cover him with a quilt.

Just like today, even though Tao Shiyan didn't like sweet things, he still asked Zhang Jing to buy lemonade.

In fact, the man named Tao is not as cold as he seems on the surface. He has countless advantages, Cheng Xi is very sure.

The most important thing is that every time someone named Tao approaches, he can't control the frequency of his heartbeat.

That's right, Cheng Xi thought to himself.

He really fell in love with Tao Shiyan.

Regarding the matter of liking men, Cheng Xi didn't feel ashamed, perverted or anything like that. His eyes gradually cleared up, and then he realized it belatedly, and he was standing in the heavy rain with Brother Lu having a heart-to-heart talk.

"...I'm sorry, Brother Lu!" Cheng Xi apologized quickly, "I caused you to get caught in the rain. Let's go back quickly!"

Lu Xingzhi said "hmm" in a low voice.

At this moment, he clearly knew that he had personally pushed Xiao Xi away from him.

Maybe he had been in the rain for too long. As soon as he got into Lu Xingzhi's car, Cheng Xi's mind became a little dizzy.

After entering the house and taking a hot bath, he not only did not recover, but started to sneeze.

Damn it, I'm going to catch a cold.

Afraid that Brother Lu would be worried, Cheng Xi said he wanted to go to bed and did not let Brother Lu enter the house.

Taking care of himself, he lay in bed and drowsily wondered whether he would be able to sleep well tonight if he really caught a cold.

Unfortunately, things went against his expectations. After being confused for a while, he only felt that his throat was getting more and more sore, and his body was getting more and more painful, but he did not feel the strong sleepiness he imagined.

I anxiously picked up my phone, preparing to watch something hypnotic, when I realized that there were more than twenty missed calls in the notification message. Among them, Lu Xingzhi called five, and the rest were all... Tao Shiyan.

He clicked on WeChat again.

19:46:08

Yan: [I brought back two cans of soda, come to my room]

20:05:33

Yan:【What do you want to eat for dinner?】

What followed were missed calls. Maybe they sent someone to look for him in his room but couldn't find him. They were afraid he'd lost it, so they called him every ten minutes.

Cheng Xi held the phone and was particularly confused about whether to call back to report that he was safe.

After figuring out his feelings, he was a little afraid to face Tao Shiyan for fear of exposing his feelings. After all... Tao Shiyan's heart was already occupied by the owner of the wooden box.

Liking is always one person's business and should not burden another person.

As long as he likes Tao Shiyan, he doesn't need the other person to know.

It’s hard to talk on the phone, so you should send a message on WeChat. Cheng Xi opened the chat history interface, deleted it after typing, typed again after deleting, deleted, deleted and typed several times——

"Zizzizi" The phone suddenly vibrated.

It's Tao Shiyan calling!

Cheng Xi was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and answered: "Hello."

"came back?"

"Well," Cheng Xi made an excuse, "I forgot to bring my phone when I went out just now, so I didn't receive a call."

"It's okay, just be safe...what's wrong with your nose? Do you have a cold?"

Cheng Xi cleared his throat deliberately, trying not to sound sick, but his thick nasal voice betrayed him.

Not wanting the other party to know that he had a cold, Cheng Xi lied: "No, it's rhinitis. I just took medicine and I'll be fine in a while."

There was silence for a few seconds, and then he said "oh".

It seemed that the Tao man believed him. If he continued to talk more, his secret would be exposed. Cheng Xi tried his hand: "Then I... died?"

"OK."

As soon as he finished speaking, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone. The other party had already hung up first. Cheng Xi held up the phone, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.

Isn't it too easy to hang up the phone?

I didn't ask him where he went or why he came back so late. I really didn't... care about him at all.

When he was healthy, Cheng Xi would never have had such hypocritical thoughts. But now he has a fever that hurts all over his body, and his will has been burned away. It's like seeing his favorite Gundam model in the window, and he obviously likes it so much.

But tell cash-strapped parents to have “unwanted” children.

Feeling aggrieved.

Very aggrieved.

Cheng Xi shrank into the quilt, and the sense of loss made him even more sleepy. He sniffed, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard a knock on the door.

And a deep male voice: "Open the door, it's me."

It was...Tao Shiyan's voice, Cheng Xi suddenly became energetic!

Why is he here in the middle of the night?

Cheng Xi sat up and smoothed the messy hair on his head while dragging his legs towards the door.

When he opened the door, a gust of cold air hit his face. Tao Shiyan had a strange appearance - he was wearing a nightgown underneath, a jacket outside, slippers on his feet, and a cheap plastic bag in his hand.

His eyes were burning with stars, and Cheng Xi couldn't see clearly the contents of the bag. He felt that the source of the cold air was the jacket, and he asked for words: "You just came back from outside."

Tao Shiyan didn't answer his question and went straight into the room, "Go and lie down on the bed."

His tone was serious, but Cheng Xi didn't dare to disobey him. He closed the door and got into bed obediently, half of his face covered by the quilt.

Only one eye was left outside, turning around following the man's movements——

Tao Shiyan first took off his coat, took out a yellow object from a plastic bag and went into the kitchen.

The hotel's small kitchen only had an induction cooker, and not long after, the smell of ginger came from there. Then Tao Shiyan took a bowl of ginger soup, pulled up a stool, and sat in front of his bed.

The voice was cold: "Can you sit up by yourself?"

Cheng Xi nodded and slowly got up.

"Can I drink it myself?"

Cheng Xi was silent for a moment: "Okay."

He tried to take the bowl from Tao Shiyan's hand, but it backfired because his hands were shaking so much that he almost dropped the bowl to the ground.

"...Forget it," Tao Shiyan said helplessly, "I'll feed you."

As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of ginger soup, blew it and handed it to Cheng Xi's mouth. Cheng Xi stuck out the tip of his tongue and took a sip gently, his face suddenly wrinkled.

He didn't like the taste of ginger since he was a child. Whenever he had a cold or fever and Aunt Yuan cooked ginger soup, he would pretend to agree but secretly pour the soup away.

This method worked well, and he was going to use it against Tao Shiyan: "It's too hot, drink it later."

As a result, they refused decisively: "No, it won't be effective if it gets cold."

"Then wait two minutes, just two minutes, and let it cool down."

"Cheng Xi," Tao Shiyan called by his first and last name, "there's no need to delay, you can't escape."

Cheng Xi fell into silence.

That's right, Actor Tao is not someone who is easy to fool.

A big bowl full of ginger soup will definitely make you ascend to heaven immediately after drinking it. Cheng Xi's whole person exudes resistance and despair from the inside out.

Seeing the child's grimace, Tao Shiyan became even more helpless and tapped the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, "Well, if you finish drinking this bowl of ginger soup, I'll give you a reward."

"Reward...what reward?"

"Whatever," Tao Shiyan said, "as long as it doesn't break the law, I can find a way to solve it for you."

Cheng Xi: "!!!"

Tao Shiyan's words were very tempting, and Cheng Xi was attracted by them. He struggled mentally for a long time. He felt that drinking one mouthful after another was too torture, so he gritted his teeth and leaned down, holding Tao Shiyan's hand, numbly.

Suck ginger soup in your mouth.

Holding the bowl low, Tao Shiyan lowered his eyes and could see the boy's fair neck and arched back.

Maybe it's because he's too thin. The curvature of the boy's spine is very obvious. It rises all the way to the waist before collapsing into a ravine. There are two small dimples on both sides of the ravine.

After his eyes fell on that waist for a few seconds, Tao Shiyan blinked and rubbed his thumb twice involuntarily with his index finger.

At this time, the ginger soup was finally finished. Cheng Xi stood up and wiped his mouth, "Done!"

"It's not over yet," Tao Shiyan pulled open the plastic bag and took out a few boxes, "Let's see what kind of cold medicine you usually take."

As the medicine box fell out, there was a shopping receipt printed by a machine. After seeing the time on the receipt, Cheng Xi finally understood why there was no news from Tao Shiyan during the period after hanging up the phone.

I also understand where the cold air on my jacket comes from.

——He ran outside and bought medicine for himself.

It turns out that Tao Shiyan was not indifferent, he just chose to do it rather than say it with his mouth.

Cheng Xi sniffed and was suddenly glad that he could cover up his red cheeks with his fever.

"What I often eat..." He pointed at a box casually, "This is it."

"I made a note of it," Tao Shiyan said as he opened the medicine box.

When he took out a plate of spicy capsules, Cheng Xi's expression looked as if he had swallowed a live fly, which was as ugly as it could be.

"If you take the medicine obediently," said Tao Shiyan, practice makes perfect, "I will add another reward."

A minute later, Tao Shiyan received two awards and won the "Best Actor Award for having to buy and take medicines at the same time, thankless effort" and sighed quietly.

Cheng Xi was the complete opposite. He sat cross-legged opposite Tao Shiyan, as if he was negotiating: "Can I redeem the reward now?"

"sure."

"Okay, then I said, first of all," Cheng Xi paused, "from now on, all your lemonade belongs to me, and you can't give it to anyone else."

That’s it? It’s too simple!

Tao Shiyan nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, the depression that had been stuck in his heart all night dissipated instantly. Cheng Xi's tone was much lighter and he continued: "The second reward... I want to stay in your room for half a month. But you don't have to worry,

I have no other ideas, and I will never use your popularity to hype you up. I just asked about the script and went to sleep."

There is only half a month left for Zhou Mingsheng's role to be completed, at which time he will leave the crew and leave Tao Shiyan.

The particularity of the artist's work made it completely impossible for him to know when he would see Tao Shiyan next time. It might be a month or two months, or it might be a year or two. If from now on he would focus solely on music instead of

If you come into contact with drama, you may never see it again.

Therefore, during the days when he could still see Tao Shiyan, he wanted to stay by his side as much as possible.

Don't be too demanding, just look at him a few more times.

The boy's words were sincere, his expression was simple, and his red eyes were stained with moisture. When he looked at someone without blinking, that person couldn't say any words of rejection at all.

"...Okay," Tao Shiyan's Adam's apple twitched, "You can live here as long as you like."
