Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 28 28. Han Xixi is sick
the next morning.

Lin Xiao's fever has gone down and his cold has healed.

Han Xixi fell ill instead!

When she took the temperature, it was 38.5 - the thermometer was bought when she bought medicine for Lin Xiao last night.

Lin Xiao felt embarrassed when he saw Han Xixi, who was lying on the bed with a red face and ears due to fever.

Thinking of how I accidentally "entered" the master bedroom last night, I felt even more embarrassed.

As the instigator, he had to take leave to stay at home to take care of Han Xixi. He gave her medicine and cooked porridge. There was little else he could do, so he had to come over every once in a while to take her temperature to see if her fever had subsided.

Every time he came in, he could see Han Xixi's grateful eyes.

"I have a performance in Yunzhou tomorrow night... ahem... what should I do..."

"Uh... you should have a good rest first!"

Lin Xiao scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed. "Maybe it's like me. It will be fine after tonight. It won't affect my performance tomorrow!"

Han Xixi looked at him resentfully and took a deep breath: "I hope so..."

But she knew in her heart that this was unlikely.

I have had a weak constitution since childhood. Every time I catch a cold or a fever, it takes at least a week to recover.

Not like Lin Xiao at all!

I had a high fever last night and felt like I was dying, but I woke up in the morning full of energy and was completely fine!
Han Xixi really had to wonder: Was it really an accident that he suddenly ran to the master bedroom last night?

……

Slept on and off all day.

By the evening, Han Xixi's fever finally subsided, but she began to cough endlessly and her tonsils swelled like basketballs. She had difficulty swallowing, let alone speaking or singing.

Han Xixi looked at Lin Xiao with an even more resentful look.

At this time, agent Zhou Hui called.

"Xixi, why don't you drive directly to Yunzhou tomorrow morning? It's not far from Ninghai anyway. We'll meet at the hotel at 11 o'clock and go to the gymnasium for rehearsal in the afternoon!"

"Ahem...ok..." Han Xixi said with difficulty.

"What's wrong with your throat?" Zhou Hui pricked up in an instant.

"..."

What follows is a long period of communication.

Han Xixi endured the severe pain of swallowing and explained that she had a fever, then said that she would go to the hospital for an IV drip in the evening, and should be well tomorrow after the inflammation was gone.

Zhou Hui was still worried, and the person on the other end of the phone couldn't help but get angry and scolded her, as if as an artist she had to be able to accurately calculate and control even a cold or a fever.

The call was on loudspeaker and Lin Xiao was listening nearby.

He was unhappy.

After hanging up the phone, he frowned and asked, "Do you really want to get antibiotics?"

Han Xixi said helplessly: "Then...what should I do?"

Lin Xiao was helpless.

In the current situation, apart from antibiotics and anti-inflammation, there is really no way to guarantee that her throat will be better tomorrow.

He wanted to persuade her that at worst she could just not attend tomorrow's performance.

But as a top star in his previous life, he knew that artists did not have much autonomy in such matters.

Especially since Han Xixi is still a newcomer, and his reputation has declined a lot compared to the early stage.

It's good enough to have a job opportunity, there's no reason to be picky and act like a big shot.

So when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"I'll go to the hospital with you!" he said.

Han Xixi had no choice but to agree.

That night.

She was fully armed and went to the hospital for emergency treatment accompanied by Lin Xiao. Fortunately, everyone in the emergency room was anxious at night and had no time to observe whether there were any big stars here, so Han Xixi was not recognized.

Soon, she was given an IV.

In order to ensure that she would be well tomorrow, she specifically asked the doctor to increase the dosage when prescribing the medicine.

So the drip lasts for three hours.

By the second half, Han Xixi was already cold all over, even though she was wearing a thick coat.

Just when she felt she was about to freeze.

Lin Xiao fetched a hot water bottle from somewhere and placed it under her right hand, which was receiving an IV drip, and took off his flight jacket. "You...you wear it, your fever just subsided..." Han Xixi refused.

"I'm fine. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both weekends. If I get a fever again, I can just lie down at home!"

"..."

Han Xixi had nothing to say and could only let him put the loose coat on herself.

The warm feeling instantly swept over my whole body, carrying with it a little bit of the smell of the pillowcase at home.

...Hmm? My sense of taste has returned!
Han Xixi lowered her head and pursed her lips, and it seemed as if there were little ants crawling on her ears.

……

The infusion continued until 11 o'clock.

The effect was immediate. Han Xixi's fever completely subsided and his tonsils became less inflamed.

But she still didn't dare to be careless. After returning home, she kept drinking hot water, as if doing so could expel all the remaining viruses in her body.

It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

The slight blame Han Xixi had in her heart for Lin Xiao infecting her with her depression had long since disappeared.

"Um...good night!" she took the initiative.

"good night!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Have a good sleep, I will take you to Yunzhou tomorrow!"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment: "You'll take me there?"

Lin Xiao said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course! You are in this state, how can I trust you to drive for three hours?"

After saying this, he felt that it was a bit ambiguous, and hurriedly added: "If your parents knew about this, wouldn't they scold me to death?"

Han Xixi then nodded.

Although I felt embarrassed, I chose to accept his kindness in order to ensure a smooth performance tomorrow.

"Then...I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Don't be polite! Go to bed, good night!"

"……Good night!"

The two of them went back to their rooms and slept soundly.

Early the next morning.

When Han Xixi got up, Lin Xiao had already prepared breakfast, including boiled eggs and white rice porridge, which was very suitable for patients.

"Good morning... How's your throat? It's not swollen anymore, right?" Lin Xiao asked.

Han Xixi shook his head.

"That's good……"

Before he finished speaking, Han Xixi spoke with a painful expression, and said in a very magnetic voice: "But I'm mute..."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Uh...was the voice of Donald Duck just now made by Han Xixi?

He almost laughed.

Seeing Han Xixi's panicked expression, he quickly pretended to be serious and said, "Eat first, I'll buy you some throat lozenges later. Hold them on the way. I hope your throat will be better by the time we get to Yunzhou!"

As of now, there is no other way.

Han Xixi could only nod in agreement.

After breakfast, the two drove to Yunzhou.

Because Han Xixi's throat was unable to speak, the two of them remained silent all the way.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Xiao kept the radio on all the way. As a result, the TV station started playing the song covered by Han Xixi, which was also her famous song that made her become an overnight sensation on "The Voice of China".

The name of this song is "Later".

When the gentle voice with sad emotions floats out, it presents a completely different flavor from the original singer.

The originally calm atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little awkward.

When the song was about to enter the chorus, Han Xixi quickly turned off the radio.

"Why don't you listen? It sounds great!" Lin Xiao said.

Han Xixi said nothing and looked out the window.

His face was already somewhat flushed.
