"Chen Yu, I don't want to talk about this right now. I'm really tired. Can I take a break first?" 0
 
But in front of others, the mature and composed Chen Yu sometimes becomes as stubborn as a child. 0
 
"Get things sorted out before you sleep." 0
 
I sighed and took his hand, placing it on my forehead. "Chen Yu, I think I have a fever." 0
 
Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately got up to search for the medicine cabinet. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" 0
 
He placed a fever patch on my forehead and found some oral medication for me. 0
 
I touched my abdomen and lowered my gaze. "I'm afraid it will be bitter. Can you get me some candy?" 0
 
There was none at home, so Chen Yu went downstairs to the supermarket to buy some for me. 0
 
After he left, I got up and flushed the medicine down the toilet. 0
 
When he returned, I acted normally and ate the candy he bought. 0
 
I wasn't sure if my weakness after being sick stirred his protective instincts or if my tears during the day made him feel guilty. 0
 
He was especially gentle tonight. 0
 
He sat by my bedside, keeping watch over me. The water on the nightstand was always warm, and he checked my temperature every half hour, constantly wringing out a towel to help cool me down. 0
 
His actions were filled with love. 0
 
However, that didn't stop him from sitting by my bed while checking his phone for "What to do if morning sickness is severe?" 0
 
Just before this, he had received a phone call. 0
 
He still stepped out of the bedroom to take it. 0
 
The only person who could make him take a call like that was Meng Yunxi. 0
 
 
When I returned, I thought he was about to leave. 0
 
He just checked my temperature, replaced the fever patch on my forehead, and then sat down. 0
 
I turned my head and looked at him in confusion. 0
 
He asked me back, "What's wrong?" 0
 
I shook my head, said nothing, and closed my eyes to rest. 0
 
But at that moment, my senses were unusually sharp. 0
 
The bedroom was dimly lit, and the light from his phone screen was glaring, directly reflecting on my eyelids. 0
 
I couldn't help but open my eyes and saw him searching for "What to do if morning sickness is severe?" 0
 
Then he edited the search results into a text message and sent it, adding at the end, 0
 
Chen Yu: [Pregnant women shouldn't take medication casually; it can affect the child.] 0
 
[I ordered some oranges for you through express delivery; see if that helps.] 0
 
[If it doesn't work, go to the hospital for a check-up.] 0
 
Meng Yunxi replied quickly. 0
 
Meng Yunxi: [I'm scared to go to the hospital alone, Yu, can you come with me?] 0
 
Chen Yu: [Xiao Ran has a fever; I can't leave.] 0
 
Meng Yunxi: [Okay, take good care of her. I can manage by myself.] 0
 
She is a smart girl and understands Chen Yu. 0
 
 
Chen Yu does not like girls who cause trouble, but he is easily filled with guilt. 0
 
So she never clings; she always retreats to advance. 0
 
She seems understanding and does not create a fuss, yet she subtly tugs at Chen Yu's heart. 0
 
Sure enough, a conversation that could have ended was paused by Chen Yu, who still replied to her. 0
 
Chen Yu: [If you still feel unwell tomorrow, I will accompany you to the hospital.] 0
 
Meng Yunxi: [You should also take good care of yourself and not wear yourself out while taking care of the patient.] 0
 
Chen Yu: [Mm.] 0
 
The phone was set down, and Chen Yu lay down, turning to pull me into his embrace, sighing in my ear, 0
 
"Xiao Ran, get better soon." 0
 
He truly wants me to recover. 0
 
Or is it that once I am better, he can accompany Meng Yunxi to the hospital without any psychological burden? 0
 
I feel calm inside. 0
 
It doesn't matter; either way is fine. 0
 
My physical condition is decent. Although I haven't taken any medicine, after a night of physical cooling, the fever has subsided. 0
 
Chen Yu has fallen asleep after taking care of me all night. 0
 
I got up and cooked a pot of rich porridge. 0
 
There was a lot, enough for more than two people. 0
 
 
After I finished drinking with Chen Yu, he looked at the remaining congee and said, "I'll take it to the Law Firm." 0
 
"Okay." I found him a thermos container with a Buzz Lightyear sticker on it. 0
 
Before leaving, he instinctively wanted to kiss my forehead. 0
 
I instinctively leaned back a bit, but then felt that this action was too abrupt. Before Chen Yu could get suspicious, I took the initiative to adjust his tie. 0
 
In the end, he didn't say anything. He reached out and touched my forehead, asking, "The fever has gone down; are you still feeling unwell?" 0
 
"Much better." 0
 
Chen Yu left. 0
 
I took a day off today and planned to go to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up. 0
 
On the way to the hospital in the taxi, I scrolled through my social media feed. 0
 
I saw Meng Yunxi had posted an update. 0
 
【Morning Congee / Heart】 0
 
A thermos container with a Buzz Lightyear cartoon image. 0
 
I liked the post and went to comment. 0
 
"Is it good?" 0
 
"I made it." 0
