Chapter 46 Illness

Zheng Jiayu drank a glass of water, and when Gu Yunting was about to pour him more, she gently shook her head: "I don't want to drink anymore."

"What's wrong with me?" Zheng Jiayu rubbed her still throbbing head and said in a hoarse voice.

"You're sick, with a fever of 40 degrees Celsius. I was almost scared to death by you," Gu Yunting said helplessly to Zheng Jiayu.

Zheng Jiayu was stunned. She had only felt unwell, but she hadn't expected to have such a high fever.

I reached out and touched my forehead; it seemed okay now.

"Dr. Chen gave you a fever-reducing injection, and you're fine now," Gu Yunting explained, observing Zheng Jiayu's actions.

"Dr. Chen?"

"He is our military doctor, and his medical skills are excellent."

Zheng Jiayu was a little puzzled. Why didn't Gu Yunting take her to the treatment room? Did he not trust Shen Xizhen's medical skills?

Seeing Zheng Jiayu looking at him so curiously, Gu Yunting explained, "It's not that I didn't want to take you to find Shen Xizhen, but Shen Xizhen wasn't there when I took you. I was thinking of getting some fever reducer for you to take first, but Chen Jia said there wasn't any, so I went directly to find the leader. I was planning to drive you to the hospital, but the military doctor happened to be there, so I had her come and see you."

Zheng Jiayu stared at Gu Yunting in astonishment, never expecting that so many things had happened while she was unconscious.

"Is it really okay for Chen Jia to do this?"

This is a very serious problem, isn't it?

“Of course there’s a problem. Chen Jia has been punished, but this punishment is far too lenient on her.” Gu Yunting told Zheng Jiayu about Chen Jia’s punishment, and he was still a little angry after he finished speaking.

Zheng Jiayu sneered: "Chen Jia is still useful to Shen Xizhen now, and Chen Jia's punishment has already been very severe, especially in the eyes of some people."

As a result, Chen Jia lost her salary and was also publicly criticized, which was a blow to her.

The most important thing is Shen Xizhen's resentment towards her.

Gu Yunting didn't care about all that; all he knew was that Zheng Jiayu had been wronged this time.

"Let's leave this matter for now. I'll always remember it. When the time is right, I'll get my money back with interest and I won't let you suffer any injustice." Chen Jia dared to do this this time not only because of her dissatisfaction with Zheng Jiayu, but also mainly because she thought she had Shen Xizhen backing her up.

After all, Shen Xizhen was in charge in that treatment room, and Chen Jia was now Shen Xizhen's person. It was because of this relationship that Chen Jia began to act boldly.

He had originally planned to teach the man a lesson, but Dr. Chen's words calmed him down.

He was indeed happy to deal with the person, but it was his mistake to let this matter get out.

He absolutely would not allow someone to become an innocent victim when they make a mistake.

Seeing Gu Yunting's fierce expression, Zheng Jiayu took his hand and whispered, "I'm fine, don't do anything foolish. As for Chen Jia, I don't think she's having an easy time either."

Gu Yunting looked at Zheng Jiayu with some dissatisfaction: "You're already like this, and you still care whether other people are doing well or not? I think you're just a little fool."

Zheng Jiayu rolled her eyes at Gu Yunting and said irritably, "Shut up! They've already taken the initiative to punish Chen Jia, and you're still going to cause trouble. Isn't that being unreasonable? What will others think of you?"

"That's what Old Chen told me too. If it weren't for that, do you think I would have put up with these bastards?"

If it weren't for what Lao Chen said to him, he would have already broken off the job.

Zheng Jiayu was relieved to see that although Gu Yunting was angry, he refrained from actually taking action.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't fight back when I'm wronged. Just like you said, let's remember this for now and talk about it later." Zheng Jiayu never intended to let Chen Jia off the hook.

This is the second time Chen Jia has attacked her since the first time.

She kept a detailed record of every single detail for Chen Jia, and sooner or later Chen Jia would pay the price for it.

Seeing Zheng Jiayu's vengeful look, Gu Yunting said with satisfaction, "That's more like it. If you were to scold me, I'd be worried you'd act like a little fool. They've bullied you like this, and you're still defending them. That's not magnanimity; that's just asking for trouble."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Gu Yunting didn't pursue the matter further, but simply handed the medicine to Zheng Jiayu: "Take your medicine first, then we'll talk."

Zheng Jiayu looked at the medicine in Gu Yunting's hand with disgust. For some reason, looking at those pills made Zheng Jiayu feel nauseous.

She looked at Gu Yunting pitifully and said, "I'm fine now, can I not eat?"

Seeing Zheng Jiayu like this, Gu Yunting didn't say anything but poured her some water. Then he placed the pills in front of her, his expression leaving no room for refusal, which saddened Zheng Jiayu.

Seeing Zheng Jiayu's pitiful act, Gu Yunting felt helpless: "You have to take this medicine. It's for your own good. Take the medicine quickly, and you'll get better soon."

Zheng Jiayu stretched her body and said, "I think I'm all better now, is it okay if I don't eat?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Jiayu started coughing incessantly, and it became almost impossible for her to stop.

After stopping, Gu Yunting just stared at Zheng Jiayu, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Feeling guilty, he turned his head away.

Gu Yunting gave her the medicine.

That implies that if you don't take your medicine, we'll continue this stalemate.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid taking the medicine, Zheng Jiayu slowly began to take it.

Gu Yunting found it somewhat amusing to watch him eat something that looked like he was taking poison: "It's not poison, why are you making such a fuss?"

Zheng Jiayu gave Gu Yunting a mournful look, as if to say that it really was that bad.

Gu Yunting remained silent and just watched Zheng Jiayu eat the pills one by one.

After Zheng Jiayu finished eating, Gu Yunting took out a White Rabbit milk candy, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into Zheng Jiayu's mouth.

The milky taste in her mouth made Zheng Jiayu mumble, "I'm not a child anymore. Do I need to be coaxed with candy to take my medicine?"

"I don't know who was so resistant to taking medicine just now, refusing to do it no matter what."

Zheng Jiayu turned her head away from Gu Yunting guiltily, saying, "I didn't."

Gu Yunting nodded helplessly: "Okay, you didn't. I misspoke."

Zheng Jiayu felt that this was even more upsetting than Gu Yunting's rebuke.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"I don't really want to eat anything."

"Then I'll go to the cafeteria and see what they have for dinner today, and get you some porridge?"

"good."

After Gu Yunting left, Zheng Jiayu lay on the bed, eating candy while her eyes were vacant as she thought about something.

While she was unconscious, she had many dreams intermittently, but she couldn't remember them; she only felt very uncomfortable.

After lying down for a while, Zheng Jiayu couldn't stay in bed any longer, so she got up.
