I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"Cough, cough cough cough—" The sound of coughing spread.

"Young Master, your cough is so bad, why don't you take some cough medicine?" A voice came from beside him.

"It's alright, it's alright... I already ate." Inside the room, Lin Zhou leaned against the headboard, silently gazing at the scenery outside the window. Then he smiled at the housekeeper and the maid beside him.

"I'm fine on my own, you go ahead and do your work."

"Alright then, if you feel unwell, please remember to press the bell on the table. We and Madam are on the first floor."

"Uh-huh."

The room fell silent. A large-screen TV in the distance was playing cartoons silently, but Lin Zhou couldn't muster any interest. He just stared listlessly at the scenery outside the window.

The wind is nice, and the green leaves are nice.

It was as if no color existed in his eyes; the world seemed gray, a vast expanse of hazy gray.

Most of the time spent at home consists of watching TV... taking medicine... eating and sleeping...

"Ahem!"

My body aches so much... I feel like my bones would fall apart if I coughed even once...

"It feels like it's been a long time since I went to kindergarten. I really want to play with everyone..." Lin Zhou sighed. He wished his own health were better. His younger sister's health was also poor, and because she was too young, she could only stay in a special care ward.

"I wonder how Coco is doing, does anyone play with her... Is Wanwan being bullied... Does Xiaoyu still get into fights... Will Yuning cry if I'm not around?" Lin Zhou murmured, turning over.

"well……"

I miss everyone so much...

I've been lying in bed for days, and I'm so bored.

A gray world, a gray bed, devoid of color and hope.

Lin Zhou got out of bed. His body was so weak that he couldn't even go outside to get some fresh air. He wandered around the room aimlessly, much like a small animal trapped in a cage, behaving in a rigid manner.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, carrying a few leaves to the floor.

"..." Lin Zhou walked to the leaf, picked it up, and was about to walk to the window to throw it down when—

A dark figure suddenly darted up, mouth agape, "Whoosh!"

"Whoa?! ...

He looked closely and saw a little girl, about five or six years old, clinging to the window. She showed her cute little tiger teeth, one foot on the doorframe. "Found you... Lin Zhou, you dare hide from me!"

"Hmph~"

"Little...Little Fish?!" Lin Zhou was stunned when he saw Ye Zhiyu. "This is the second floor...how did you get up here?"

"It's just the second floor, how could that be difficult for me?" Ye Zhiyu snorted, standing on the windowsill with her arms crossed and her chin raised.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, ruffling the other person's bangs. This scene caught Lin Zhou's eye, and the hazy scenery before him seemed to be filled with many colorful bubbles. In that instant, the world began to have color.

"Huh?" The wind was strong, and Ye Zhiyu swayed as if she couldn't keep her footing.

"Little Fish!" Lin Zhou immediately stumbled to his feet, grabbed Ye Zhiyu with all his might, and dragged her into his room!

The two fell down, and Ye Zhiyu landed in Lin Zhou's arms.

"pain--"

Lin Zhou came to his senses and found Ye Zhiyu supporting herself, the two staring at each other.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Ye Zhiyu asked.

"I wasn't avoiding you, I'm just sick..." Lin Zhou's face was pale, almost bloodless, but he smiled. "Xiao Yu, did you come to see me?"

"Hmph, as long as you're not hiding from me, isn't it normal for a boss to check on his underlings?" Ye Zhiyu stood up and pulled Lin Zhou up as well.

She paused, then saw Lin Zhou's deathly pale face, and her own face flushed red. "Th-that—"

"What?"

"..." Ye Zhiyu scratched her chubby little face with one hand, "I shouldn't have said I hate you... I'm sorry."

Lin Zhou paused for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter, "Hahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Zhiyu kicked Lin Zhou's shin.

"No...Is that so? I didn't take it to heart." Lin Zhou smiled. "I know your personality to some extent. I know that wasn't the truth. Thank you for coming to see me."

"I like you very much, Little Fish." Lin Zhou tilted his head, his bangs parting slightly to reveal his smiling eyes.

"Thanks."

Ye Zhiyu froze for a few seconds, then bit Lin Zhou's arm.

Why did you bite me?

"Hmph."

Just then, a voice came from outside the room, "Young Master, what's that noise coming from your room?"

The aunt pushed open the door and found Lin Zhou sitting on the bed with a faint smile. "Auntie, I just wanted to open the window and found that the wind was strong, but nothing happened."

"Oh, I see. It's good that you're alright."

"Auntie, I'd like to take a nap. Could you please not disturb me for the next two hours?"

"Of course, young master. If you feel unwell, please remember to press that bell."

"it is good."

After the aunt left, Lin Zhou heard the footsteps outside the door disappear. At that moment, Ye Zhiyu, who was hiding under the covers, also poked her head out. She showed an annoyed expression, "That old woman just wouldn't let me in, hmph."

"Really?" Lin Zhou was taken aback.

"Yes, and that housekeeper, he said you're not feeling well and can't let anyone visit you," Ye Zhiyu said as she emerged.

"Everyone is doing this for my health, and... I'm also afraid that if I get sick, I'll infect you," Lin Zhou said to Ye Zhiyu.

"I'm not afraid at all. I've never been sick in my life," Ye Zhiyu said, looking around Lin Zhou's room. "Your room is so small."

"Hmm, it seems to be only about seventy cubic meters," Lin Zhou said. "I'm not sure."

"Get well soon! I'm so bored at kindergarten!"

"I want to too... It's so boring staying here," Lin Zhou said helplessly.

"I'm so bored," Ye Zhiyu said. "Then I'll come visit you often and help you get better sooner."

Lin Zhou asked, "Then...we're friends, right?"

"Fine, I can't do anything with you." Ye Zhiyu held up a finger. "From now on, you're my friend, so be grateful!"

"Okay! Thank you."

"You don't need to look so grateful..."

"Really? But I like you very much."

"Don't say that! I'll bite you!"

"Oh……"

Ye Zhiyu and Lin Zhou stayed in the room together, watching cartoons and movies. There weren't many entertainment options back then, and even the TV played DVD content.

For some reason, even though the content was dry, Lin Zhou suddenly felt that it was becoming more interesting when combined with Ye Zhiyu's cheerful voice.

"It seems like it's getting dark... I'll come again tomorrow." As evening approached, Ye Zhiyu patted her pocket, took out a folding phone to check the time, and said, "Hmm... I need to go home now."

"Wow, your phone screen is huge!" Lin Zhou exclaimed curiously. "And it has two color screens."

"The new Nokia is out; you can buy it for seven or eight thousand yuan."

"Oh?"

"It's okay, I'll bring you one tomorrow..." Ye Zhiyu said, and was about to climb out of the window to leave.

"Wait, you... go through the main gate."

"don't want!"

Lin Zhou could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhiyu nimbly slid down the water pipe and then rolled away and disappeared.

Seeing Ye Zhiyu waving triumphantly at him, Lin Zhou also raised his hand high, but could only lower his voice.

"See you tomorrow……"
