In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

In this situation, Rikka's words sounded especially serious, suggesting she was sincere.

Gen Chiya: "..."

He glanced at Rikka with a rather speechless expression.

Normally, Toka would have already taken care of this silly little sister, but at this moment she had no mind to correct her embarrassing idea.

As the eldest sister in the family, she quickly issued orders.

"Rikka, keep an eye on Chiyo. Chiyo, go rest on the sofa for a while. I'll go get you a thermometer."

Rikka readily agreed, but Gen Chiya spoke up: "I feel a little tired and want to go back to my room to lie down for a while."

Shihua nodded: "Then you go back to your room first, I'll come find you right away."

Yuan Qianye let her arrange things as she pleased.

He needs to make some arrangements himself.

With a casual gesture, the black wings of the living room flew up to the second floor with him.

After closing the door, Yuan Qianye took out a hand warmer from her pocket and pressed it to her forehead.

Then he took out a mercury thermometer from the innermost compartment of his drawer.

It was placed beneath the motionless, jet-black wings nestled atop the bookshelf.

"Please, just like you practiced before, don't move. I'll buy you some walnuts later."

"Gah~"

The jet-black wings gently flapped their wings, giving what appeared to be a rather cheerful response.

Yuan Qianye smiled and patted its head.

Crows have a body temperature that hovers around 40 degrees Celsius, slightly higher than that of humans.

This saved him the trouble of making other plans in this regard.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Shihua found the first-aid kit in her home.

After opening it, she picked up the temperature gun and pressed the button.

I don't know if it's out of power or malfunctioning, but pressing the switch several times didn't work.

Fortunately, there are still traditional mercury thermometers.

Although she didn't remember when her family had bought this kind of thermometer, it came in handy at the moment.

Shika hurriedly went upstairs and saw Yuan Qianye leaning against the headboard, tucking the thermometer into his collar and placing it under his arm.

"Squeeze in tight."

"Ah."

Are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?

"Don't worry so much, I'm fine." Seeing that Toka was so nervous and sitting upright by his bedside, Yuan Qianye couldn't help but comfort her.

"Can't you hear yourself? Your voice is a bit hoarse now. Honestly, if you're not feeling well, you should come back sooner. Those jobs are unavoidable."

“Yes, it’s really necessary to do it, because we signed a contract. If we don’t do it, we’ll have to pay several times the amount in breach of contract fees.” Yuan Qianye nodded seriously.

"..." Toka was clearly unhappy because of Chiya's backtalk, but because he was a patient and she was worried, she didn't say anything more.

Midway through, she couldn't resist reaching out and touching his forehead again.

It's still very hot.

Looking at her worried expression, Yuan Qianye suddenly smiled and said, "Toka, it feels like it's been a while since we've spent time together like this."

Upon hearing this, Shihua's eyes darted away, and she withdrew her hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? We've always been like this."

Yuan Qianye shook his head seriously: "You know what I'm talking about."

Shihua lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

The two did not exchange any further words.

Gen Chiya calculated that it was about time, and then got up.

Seeing this, Shihua quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Qianye coughed lightly: "I'm thirsty, let me go downstairs and get a glass of water."

"You lie down, I'll go."

After Toka left the room, Gen Chiya put the thermometer he was carrying into the drawer and hid it. He then took out the thermometer under the Black Wings and glanced at it.

He nodded in satisfaction, then tucked it under his armpit.

Shika quickly returned upstairs with her water glass. After watching Yuan Qianye finish drinking, she said, "It's almost time. Let's take out the thermometer and check."

Yuan Qianye nodded, took it out, and looked at it himself first.

He glanced at Shihua and smiled, "Nothing's wrong, everything's normal."

As he spoke, he reached out to shake the thermometer.

Shihua wasn't about to be fooled. She pounced on him, pressing her entire body against him, gripping his wrist tightly with one hand and snatching the thermometer away with the other.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened, filled with heartache.

The thermometer showed that Qianye's current temperature was 39.7 degrees Celsius!

Normal human body temperature is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius.

This is a true high fever.

Volume 1: Chapter 158: Toka, for our baby...

Meeting Touka's gaze, Chiya Minamoto leaned against the headboard, his shoulders drooping and his head hanging low, looking rather guilty.

He coughed a few more times, though he tried to keep his mouth shut, the sounds still escaped.

Takanashi Touka placed the thermometer on the bedside table and took a deep breath: "Chiya, you can't stay like this. Let's go to the hospital."

Yuan Qianye shook his head: "There's no need for that. I'm in good health, I can just rest at home for a while."

"You have a high fever right now, and you can't recover just by resting. Please listen to me, okay?"

Just like a kindergarten teacher coaxing children, Toka's tone became increasingly gentle.

Yuan Qianye was silent for a while, but finally refused in a voice that was becoming noticeably hoarse: "Isn't it enough to just take medicine? We should have some fever reducers at home."

He was no longer as vibrant as usual; his whole being seemed to have faded into a pale gray.

Seeing his haggard appearance, Shihua felt as if something was missing from her heart, and she felt very uneasy.

If she catches a cold and has a fever, she won't care too much, and that's exactly what she would do.

It's a minor thing like catching a cold and getting a fever; you can just take medicine at home and it'll be fine. There's no need to make a fuss about it.

She has indeed done so over the years, which is in line with the practices of most ordinary families.

But Yuan Qianye held a different place in her heart, far more important than she herself.

Seeing him, who was once so omnipotent, now leaning weakly against the headboard, speaking in such a lifeless voice, Shika couldn't help but feel sad.

I also wanted to take him to the hospital immediately so that he could get better quickly and return to his normal, energetic self.

"You have a high fever, and I'm worried that just taking medicine won't bring it down."

"But right now I really want to rest and I don't really want to move around."

"It's okay, I'll be with you."

"What about Chiyo? Are you comfortable leaving Rikka to take care of her alone at home?"

Shihua fell silent; she was indeed worried.

Similarly, given Rikka's personality, she would also be very worried about having her accompany Chiya to the hospital in her current state.

We can't take Chiyo to the hospital either, since a hospital with so many patients isn't a good place.

"If I happen to run into a few more fans and get harassed, I'll be in for a rough time." Yuan Qianye forced a smile. "So I'll take my medicine first and see how it goes in a few hours. If my fever hasn't gone down by then, I'll go to the hospital."

After thinking for a moment, Shihua nodded in agreement to his arrangement.

"I'll go get you some water and your medicine."

"Ah."

Shihua turned and walked out of the room.

Just as she was about to leave, Yuan Qianye called out to her: "Shihua."

"what happened?"

"Thank you, it's so good to have you here."
