Sister, can I be a maid too?

"...You've caught a slight cold, it's nothing, just a minor issue."

Jiang Yu rubbed his nose, not taking it to heart.

Lin Tingwan, who was standing to the side, put down her spoon at some point and tilted her head to look at him.

After watching for a while, she suddenly reached out and gently placed the back of her hand on Jiang Yubai's forehead.

"Uh..." Jiang Yubai reacted a beat late, "It's really okay..."

But the next second, Lin Tingwan withdrew her hand and turned to look at her older sister.

Without saying a word, Lin Jianxia ignored Jiang Yubai's weak protest and reached out to cover his forehead.

The heat emanating from the back of her hand made her eyes widen in surprise.

"You have a fever?!"

"...No, maybe you two are mistaken." Jiang Yubai said weakly, "I think I... am in pretty good shape."

Lin Jianxia suddenly stood up and walked to his side, trying to help him up.

Seeing her action, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but laugh, even though he was feeling dizzy.

"Hey, I can walk by myself, okay...?"

Lin Jianxia ignored him and turned to her younger sister, saying:

"Wanwan, help me on the other side."

Lin Tingwan silently supported Jiang Yubai's other arm and looked up at him with a worried gaze.

"It can't be that bad..." Jiang Yu chuckled dryly. "I haven't finished my porridge yet. Finish it before you leave..."

"Let's drink later!"

Lin Jianxia exerted force, and together with Lin Tingwan, they half-supported and half-pushed him back to the bedside.

Jiang Yubai saw the girl busy herself with pillows and patting the blankets, finally turning around and glaring at him fiercely:

"Lie down quickly!"

Jiang Yubai absentmindedly took off his shoes, his hand just touching the elastic waistband of his pants when he suddenly paused, and belatedly spoke:

"No... could you two please leave for a moment?"

Lin Jianxia's ears turned slightly red, and she quickly turned around, still urging him on:

"Hurry, hurry..."

No, does turning your back to me count as avoiding me? Besides...

Jiang Yubai turned his face with a subtle expression and looked at Lin Tingwan, who was still standing motionless in front of the bed.

The girl stood there quietly, staring at him without blinking.

"Late night!"

Before she could even look for two seconds, her sister, whose ears were burning hot, grabbed her shoulders and turned her around.

Jiang Yubai glanced at the two figures from behind, his lips twitched, but he didn't dwell on it anymore. He quickly took off his pants and crawled into bed.

Only after his back was pressed against the soft pillow did he speak in a muffled voice:

"All right."

Lin Jianxia turned around abruptly, looked at Jiang Yubai lying listlessly on the bed, and unconsciously pursed her lips.

"How are you... feeling now?"

She asked softly.

".....well enough."

Despite saying that, Jiang Yubai felt a sudden dizziness, and his eyelids began to droop heavily.

Do you have a thermometer at home? And cold medicine or something?

"No way... Can Yunnan Baiyao cure a cold...?"

Jiang Yubai mumbled in a daze.

—He's already starting to talk nonsense.

Lin Jianxia took a deep breath and turned to look at her younger sister:

"Wanwan, could you bring the porridge over and feed him? I'm going downstairs to buy some medicine, I'll be right back."

Lin Tingwan looked at Jiang Yubai quietly for a few seconds, nodded, and turned to leave.

Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip and reached out to touch his forehead again—

It was scalding hot.

She withdrew her hand, hurriedly grabbed her keys and umbrella, and rushed out the door.

It was still pouring rain outside.

Lin Jianxia opened her umbrella, ignoring the splashing water under her feet and her throbbing ankle, and jogged towards the other end of the street.

The nearest pharmacy isn't too far, but it's not exactly close either, about three or four hundred meters away.

To her relief, the pharmacy lights were still on and the door was open.

She didn't even bother to close her umbrella; she pushed open the door and hurriedly said:

"Hello, my friend got caught in the rain and developed a high fever. Do you have any fever reducers? Also, I need a thermometer."

The clerk on duty glanced at her, then skillfully took out several boxes of medicine from behind the counter:

"For fever reduction, you can choose ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If you also have cold symptoms, it is recommended to use compound cold medicine."

"In addition, thermometers come in electronic and mercury types. Electronic ones are more convenient, while mercury ones are more accurate."

Lin Jianxia paused for a moment, then spoke:

"Please take one box of each."

Where's the thermometer?

"Take one of both."

The clerk deftly scanned the code to process the payment: "It's 147 yuan in total."

Lin Jianxia paid without hesitation, then turned back and asked as soon as she took a step:

"Um... what's the best way to take care of someone with a fever?"

Although I probably already know, it's always better to ask again to be on the safe side.

"You can use a damp towel to cool his forehead, make sure he drinks plenty of warm water, and make sure the room is well-ventilated but doesn't catch a cold."

The shop assistant said casually.

"If you have a persistent high fever or experience convulsions or loss of consciousness, take your child to the hospital immediately."

"There's nothing else, just let him rest more."

"Ok, thank you."

After thanking her, Lin Jianxia hurriedly returned with the bag.

When she returned to her room, panting, the first thing she saw was Jiang Yubai leaning against the bed with his eyes closed, and a half-bowl of porridge on the bedside table.

His younger sister sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with some concern.

Lin Jianxia's heart tightened instantly, and she quickly walked to the bedside:

"what happened?"

Lin Tingwan snapped out of her reverie, reached out and wrote something, then handed it to her sister:

"I can't eat."

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, took out an electronic thermometer, and gently scanned her forehead.

38.5

No matter how you look at it, it's a complete and utter high fever.

"Wanwan, go to the bathroom and get a towel soaked in cold water. I'll go pour some hot water for him to take his medicine."

After saying a quick word, Lin Jianxia turned and went to the kitchen again.

.....

.....

".....white?"

"Jiang Yu...?"

"Jiang Yubai?"

Jiang Yubai was fighting fiercely with the little monster, the red light on his chest flashing brightly, the situation was critical, when he was suddenly interrupted.

He opened his eyes somewhat bewildered, and all the little monsters and Ultraman had suddenly disappeared.

It took Jiang Yubai several seconds to realize where she was. She blinked and said slowly, "..."

"What... are you doing here?"

Before Lin Jianxia could speak, he uttered an "oh" and mumbled indistinctly:

"I remember now... I really can't eat anymore, it's not that your porridge is bad..."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia was both amused and annoyed. She picked up the cup and held it to his lips.

"Okay, okay... Here, take your medicine."

"Do I really have to eat this?"

Jiang Yubai's eyes were half-closed, and his voice was muffled.

"I think I can still be saved for a while."

"They're treating him right now," Lin Jianxia said, her tone becoming more serious. "Eat quickly!"

Jiang Yubai obediently drank the water and took the medicine, and after a long while, he suddenly laughed again:
