    Chapter 39

    When Chi Huang struggled to wake up from a long and extremely real nightmare, his heartbeat was pounding and he had a splitting headache. He thought he was going to die.

    After lying in bed for a while, my heartbeat slowed down a bit, but my headache didn’t ease at all.

    Sweat had already soaked the pillows and sheets. His cold showed no signs of getting better and the high fever continued.

    My throat became more swollen and sore, my mouth was dry, and even breathing was painful.

    He struggled to get up from the bed. There was no drinking water anymore. He took a glass of tap water to temporarily quench his thirst, and picked up his mobile phone to buy something.

    It was already past three in the afternoon, and he had slept for another twelve hours.Rather than sleeping, it is better to say that I was exhausted in my dream, without any sense of rest.

    He was dizzy and saw double images of the characters on his phone. He finally bought a box of water and remembered that he hadn’t eaten since coming back from the hospital. Even though he didn’t have much appetite, he still bought a pizza from the fast food restaurant he usually ordered.

    It’s not like I’ve never caught a cold before. It usually gets better within two days.Not only did it not get better this time, it actually got worse.Even if he lacked common sense, he knew that he should take some cold medicine in this situation.

    He didn’t know exactly which one to take, so he could only search for it in online pharmacies.The more I looked at my phone, the more dizzy I became, so I quickly bought a few recommended medicines.

    The water and pizza arrived first, and he was so dizzy that he held on to the wall before going to open the door and get the takeaway.

    He knew that his dizziness must be related to hypoglycemia.When he got the pizza, even though he didn’t really want to eat it and it was very painful to swallow, he still managed to eat it all.Fortunately, the Coke with ice could relieve the discomfort in his throat, so he drank a whole cup.

    He was so exhausted from eating this meal that he just rested on the bed for a while when his stomach suddenly started churning and he hurried to the bathroom.When he opened his mouth, chyme poured out like a dam, and soon he vomited all the pizza he had just swallowed, making him drool with tears and feel dizzy.

    After washing my face, gargling my mouth, and resting on the sink for a while, the medicine delivery person finally arrived.

    Chi Huang thought that he was too sick to eat, so he should take some medicine first.

    He opened the medicine box and spread out a bunch of various pills in his hands. He swallowed them all and fell on the bed to wait for the medicine to take effect.

    The medicine had not yet taken effect, and he vomited again shortly after taking it.

    This time, not only did I spit out tears and runny nose, but the smelly and bitter taste of the pills lingered from my throat to my mouth. After vomiting, I rinsed my mouth many times, but the disgusting taste still lingered.

    After all this tossing, Chi Huang, who was already very ill, lost all his strength.

    He lay back on the bed and didn’t know what was going on. He vomited whatever he ate and it was a dead end.Jiang Chao was gone, and he had no one to look for.The hospital was too far away and he didn’t have the strength to get up.

    I had such a headache that I couldn’t sleep, but I was so dizzy that I wasn’t very awake, and my thinking was so confused and chaotic.

    He was hungry, he knew it, but strangely there was nothing he wanted to eat.Not only did I not want to eat it, especially after vomiting, I felt nauseated just thinking about it.

    But he had to eat something to regain some strength.He thought about the things he had eaten one by one, and the only thing he could think of that was still edible was the sweet and sour soup noodle he had eaten at Chen Shilu’s house.

    It was very hot some time ago and they had no appetite, so Chen Shilu made this as their staple food.

    It was the first time he tasted soup noodle with this flavor. At that time, he only thought that the refreshing taste was suitable for summer and not very delicious. For some reason, it suddenly became the only food he wanted to eat.

    He didn’t know the name of this kind of noodles yet, so he could only search for it on the takeout platform according to its taste, and all that came up were hot and sour noodles.When he saw the promotional picture of the layer of red oil, he felt like vomiting again and quickly turned off his phone.

    If he wanted to eat, he could only call Chen Shilu to come over and cook it specially for him.

    But Chi Huang knew this couldn’t happen.

    Even if it were possible, he didn’t want to. He promised in the live broadcast room that he would never look for that scumbag again.

    He didn’t know why he thought of Chen Shilu while eating a bowl of noodles, and then he suddenly felt sad and aggrieved.

    I drifted off to sleep, and when I woke up the world turned pitch black again.

    It started to rain at night, and the sound of the wind was like a woman’s sobs.He took a few sips of water in the dark and lay down again without even looking at the time.

    He sank deeper into the darkness, but it was not a void with nothing, but a colorful black that was constantly twisting in front of his eyes, like bass and drum beats. Every twist tightened his nerves, causing him to have all kinds of hallucinations while having a splitting headache.

    It gets better during the day, but at night, the condition seems to get worse.If he said that he would fall into a deep sleep and never wake up, he would have no doubt about it.

    But some kind of vibration and noise had to wake him up. He was too tired and didn’t want to open his eyes.

    The sound was unrelenting. It finally stopped and started again. It repeated several times. Chi Huang finally frowned and squinted his eyes.

    The sun shines from the crack in the door to the ceiling, and it’s bright again.

    The phone kept ringing, calling him endlessly until all he answered was Jiang Chao.

    It seemed that they had returned from their trip to Xinjiang, and sure enough he had not died of illness alone in the rental house.

    He answered the phone and put it next to his pillow. Jiang Chao’s loud voice did not come out, but there was silence on the other side of the receiver.

    Chi Huang waited impatiently, then endured the pain in his throat and hissed: “You’re back? Where are you?”

    After saying a few words, he calmed his throat. He was about to say that he would die if he didn’t come back, but he didn’t expect an unexpected voice to come from the other end of the phone: “It’s me, Chen Shilu.”

    Chi Huang opened his closed eyes, but he didn’t speak.

    After a pause, Chen Shilu said again: “Are you free today?”

    Chi Huang swallowed his Adam’s apple and wanted to ask him what he was doing, but the slight tremor caused him so much pain that he couldn’t speak.

    Not hearing his answer, Chen Shilu sped up and spoke a little irritably: “Chi Huang, there is a misunderstanding between us. You can terminate this relationship or stop seeing each other, but I want to make everything clear. I don’t like it to end with this kind of misunderstanding and unhappiness, so give me some time and let’s talk in person. If you don’t want to meet, you can also do it on the phone…”

    Chi Huang reluctantly interrupted him: “Where are you now?”

    “At home, what?”

    “You come to my house…”

    Before he finished speaking, Chen Shilu denied it: “It’s not convenient to talk at home, so you should find a quiet place outside and I will make arrangements.”

    At this time, Chi Huang was even more annoyed by his seriousness and emphasized his tone: “Stop talking so much nonsense. If you want me to listen to you, come here now!”

    After saying that, he hung up the phone.

    The tone was too urgent, the voice was too loud, and my throat was burning.

    He couldn’t deny that the pain made him a little grumpy, and Chen Shilu’s petty personality might offend him again with just one word.

    But Chi Huang couldn’t control so much, he was really uncomfortable.

    Anyway, the words have been said, it’s up to him, love comes or not.

    Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

    “Chi Huang, open the door!”
