    Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Fever Woof woof woof woof woof woof…

    After breakfast, Si Jiu regained some energy as he followed Ran Lie down to the apartment’s underground garage in the elevator.

    Along the way, Ran Lie’s eyes were quietly glued to Si Jiu’s back. When Si Jiu occasionally turned to look at him – he would look up and pretend to look at the top of the elevator.

    Although he had certain expectations, Si Jiu was slightly startled when he saw the pure black top luxury car in the garage.

    This diamond-black streamlined sports car is not as eye-catching as You Zhi’s golden armored vehicle, but it has an absolute aura that cannot be ignored. There is no extra curve in the body, and everything is designed for speed and explosive power.

    It has been almost two years since he came to Orc Planet. He has never seen such a luxury Orc car that can cost Si Jiu two or three years’ salary, let alone riding in it.

    When he thought that Ran Lie had more than one such car, Si Jiu couldn’t help but think of his meager salary as a caregiver, and secretly lamented the gap between the rich and the poor in the Orc Star Empire…

    His attention was diverted, and the inexplicable headache he had been experiencing didn’t seem to be that serious.

    After all, it was because he didn’t have a good rest last night – Si Jiu raised his hand and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes. He didn’t know that his face was still blushing at this moment.

    Ran Lie pressed the car key, and the butterfly door flipped up. It was a standard sports car design with only two seats in the front. This made Si Jiu, who originally wanted to sit in the back row and secretly wanted to be a little farther away from Ran Lie in his orc form, couldn’t help but hesitate slightly.

    Ran Lie took a step forward, raised his chin slightly, and motioned to the co-pilot as a matter of course: “Do you think it’s comfortable? If not, I’ll get a dog mat next time.”

    When he said this, he wagged his tail and raised his ears, as if he was declaring that this seat would belong to Si Jiu from now on, with a slight hint of pleasure and complacency.

    There was no need for a dog pad, but when it came to discomfort… Sijiu couldn’t help but feel that he was starting to have a headache again – the insomnia from last night seemed to be torturing him for a long time.

    Si Jiu shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of the feeling of powerless exhaustion.

    But when he walked towards the passenger seat, the inexplicable heaviness in his body made him suddenly feel a terrible dizziness. At that moment, his body was no longer under control, and he only felt weak under his feet.

    A pair of strong arms immediately supported him, and that slightly familiar male aura hit his face. Si Jiu seemed to regain consciousness instantly. He turned his face and said softly, “Thank you, I’m fine.” Then he distanced himself from Ran Lie. He walked quickly into the car with his head slightly lowered and sat in the passenger seat.

    If Si Jiu had a doctor’s instinct a second ago, he would have thought that there was something wrong with his body, but at this moment, as he gently stroked his red face, he could only keep warning himself in his heart——

    Stop imagining things!

    He didn’t like this uncontrollable heartbeat and uncontrollable himself.

    “You don’t look like you’re fine!” Ran Lie, who turned over and sat in the driver’s seat, turned to look at Ran Jiu. His black and gold eyes narrowed and he frowned as he carefully observed Si Jiu’s expression.

    “I didn’t sleep well last night.” Si Jiu avoided the sharp gaze and tried his best to put on a peaceful smile.

    This was just an ordinary morning, no different from the mornings when he took Ran Lie, who was in the form of a big dog, to work in the nursing home.

    Ran Lie seemed to be inexplicably angry, but the next second he felt frustrated and deflated. He leaned over and approached Si Jiu——

    “Huh? How–” Sijiu, who was leaning against the passenger seat, couldn’t help being startled. He felt that his whole body was weak and his eyes were slightly moist.

    Ran Lie pulled the seat belt and fastened it for Sijiu. Sijiu couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

    “Thank you…um”

    But when the wheat-colored arm of the young male orc inadvertently brushed against the hot side of his neck——

    “Well, I…” Hot flashes appeared on Si Jiu’s face, and there was a fine tingling sensation. He subconsciously covered his mouth, couldn’t help but twist his body slightly, and quickly moved his eyes toward the window.

    “I mean, thank you, but… next time something like this happens, I’ll do it myself.” Si Jiu tried his best to keep his voice from sounding like he was having trouble.

    He has always tolerated Ran Lie’s willfulness and bad temper from time to time, but today——

    “Oh, okay.” Faced with the displeasure in his tone, Ran Lie’s response was extremely submissive.

    His ears twitched slightly, Ran Lie’s black gold eyes quietly captured Si Jiu’s every move – his throat rolled slightly, Si Jiu’s voice was very soft, but it was enough to make the corners of his eyes suddenly turn red.

    He immediately withdrew his gaze to the human next to him.He had just taken the medicine to suppress his estrus not long ago this morning, but it seemed to have begun to wear off at this time.

    The sports car left the garage. The weather was still sunny today, and Si Jiu kept trying to pretend that he was looking at the scenery.

    Ran Lie stepped on the accelerator and drove the sports car out of a racing stance. Within a few minutes, he arrived at the military hospital.

    After getting off the car, the autumn breeze was refreshing, and Si Jiu’s groggy mind calmed down a little.He couldn’t help but pause when he saw Ran Lie unbuckle his seat belt neatly, obviously wanting to go in with him.

    “That’s it.” Si Jiu turned around and stopped in front of Ran Lie.

    Si Jiu’s voice was hoarse than usual, but his tone was insistent. He didn’t look at the male orc in the driver’s seat: “I’ll go in by myself – it’s safe here. Today is just a check-in. The process should be quick, about half an hour. I can go by myself. You… go back first. Later, I can just take a ride back.”

    He had no choice but to have Ran Lie by his side. Today, his thoughts were always in a mess. His face was always getting hot for no reason. A slight touch could make him blush. And the more he tried to suppress this feeling, the more he seemed to lose control.

    Si Jiu has never felt this way before. The love Jun Qi said…

    No, his head started to feel dizzy again – the only thing he was sure of was that he couldn’t be with Ran Lie in the hospital today, otherwise it would be as if something was wrong and he could no longer hide it.

    But what he said made Si Jiu feel uneasy. With Ran Lie’s character, he would probably resist fiercely.

    Moreover, does he really want Ran Lie to go away?

    “Wow – OK.” After a moment, Ran Lie’s deep voice made Si Jiu, who was clearly the one who made the request, raise his head in surprise and look at the handsome male orc beside him.

    Ran Lie’s eyes were as deep as his voice. In the past, he would have screamed “Why? Why don’t you take me with you?!” or something like that.

    He seemed to have matured overnight. Could it be that the first time he was in heat had opened his mind?

    Or was he beginning to feel that the kiss was just a mistake and that it was better to keep a certain distance between them?

    He began to think wildly again, and he became less and less like his usual self – Si Jiu gently scratched his hair as if he was self-loathing.

    “But – I won’t leave, I’ll wait for you here.” Ran Lie’s eyes fell on Si Jiu’s flushed face, and he just slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, “If you don’t come back in half an hour, I will look for you.”

    Si Jiu sighed softly, turned around and walked into the hospital.

    What he didn’t know was that after he left, Ran Lie leaned against the car door, took out another bottle of inhibitory medicine and drank it – Si Jiu had reminded him that it needed to be more than two hours apart and no more than two bottles a day.

    But obviously, Ran Lie didn’t intend to obey.The medicinal effect of this thing seemed to have less and less effect on him.

    The hospital is filled with the unique and refreshing smell of disinfectant, which is completely different from the short-lived ambiguous heat in the sports car.Sijiu hadn’t gone far into the corridor when a steady voice stopped him.

    “Si Jiu.”

    He turned around and saw Wu En, the rhino horn doctor as his superior, standing there.

    Wu En is tall and straight, wearing a pressed white coat with a straight military shirt underneath, looking as calm and rigorous as ever.His eyes were gentle and sharp, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Si Jiu.

    “You look very bad, are you sick?” Wu En’s tone was calm, with concern and professional prudence from a superior.

    Si Jiu shook his head: “I slept late yesterday.”

    Wu En didn’t ask any more questions. He just narrowed his eyes, glanced at Si Jiu and said, “As a doctor, the first thing you should take care of is your own body. How to take care of patients if you can’t even take care of yourself? Let me familiarize you with the environment first. This place is different from ordinary hospitals. You need to adapt as soon as possible. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”

    Wu En has always been strict with his subordinates. Si Jiu had heard You Zhi say this before. At this time, Wu En’s voice was deep and strong. Although it was a reproach, it temporarily calmed Si Jiu’s restless mood that he had been unable to suppress in front of Ran Lie.

    It seems that the temperature on his face has subsided slightly, but his head still hurts – a side effect of insomnia, Si Jiu explained himself this way.

    Wu En led him forward while introducing him to the distribution of each functional area.

    They walked through the general outpatient area, passed through a heavy metal door that required identity verification, and entered the hospital lobby.The lighting here is cooler and whiter, and the environment is quieter and more solemn.

    “This floor just past is the general medical treatment area. The second to fifth floors are the specialized diagnosis and treatment areas of the sub-departments. The operating room is usually on the third floor… The building behind is the inpatient department – you know this, the restaurant is on the other side…” Wu En explained, his voice in the empty corridorThere was a slight response, “The equipment in the military hospital is specially made, and the medical staff also need to undergo special training. As a trainee doctor, you generally need to undergo three months of special training before being assigned to a department… But considering your special situation, I will take care of you during these three months.”

    The ward doors on both sides of the corridor are stronger than conventional ones, and the observation windows in some rooms even use special tempered glass.

    Occasionally, orcs wearing hospital gowns walked past. They all had more or less inhuman features on their bodies. Their eyes were sharp, but their steps still maintained the composure of orc soldiers.

    Wu En’s introduction was concise and to the point.Si Jiu followed him. When he was highly concentrated, he felt no signs of physical discomfort. All his thoughts were on taking the important information Wu En told him into his mind. When necessary, he took out the notebook he kept with his own knife in his pocket and started recording.

    Unconsciously, time passed quickly, and the temperature of Si Jiu’s whole body gradually increased without even realizing it.

    When Wu En was introducing the pharmacy area to him, he inadvertently looked up at Sijiu. He suddenly stopped and frowned. Out of a doctor’s instinct, he raised his hand and touched Sijiu’s forehead.

    Si Jiu couldn’t help but raise his head in surprise in front of Wu En.

    “What are you doing?!” Suddenly, a familiar voice came from nowhere, and the owner of the voice could not suppress his anger.
