The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 881: Moving to Town (11)

Ruan Lei frowned upon hearing this. It was not out of fear this time, but rather: "It delivered it? How did it deliver it? By holding it in its mouth?" Thinking of the Changchong carrying fruits in its mouth to the Ruan Family, potentially getting its saliva on them, he felt nauseous.

In fact, he did throw up, leaning against the wall, vomiting until bile nearly came out in front of the toilet.

Ruan Jiaojiao was startled and quickly ran to the living room to fetch a cup of water, crouching by his side and feeding it to him.

After vomiting, Ruan Lei felt much more relieved. He was just very weak and limp all over. He took the water cup from Ruan Jiaojiao to rinse his mouth. When about half of the cup was left, he thought to drink it but was stopped by Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Brother, you have a fever. You can’t drink cold water. Wait here, I’ll get you some hot water." She had felt his hand was frighteningly hot to the touch, clearly indicating a fever.

There was hot water available upstairs, kept in a thermos. When Ruan Jiaojiao was mixing hot water, Xiu Xi also got up. Seeing her holding the bulky thermos and fearing she would scald herself, he quickly went to help and thought she wanted to drink it, so he said, "Call me next time you want to drink it."

"It’s not for me; it’s for my brother. He has a fever. Xiu Xi, could you go upstairs and ask granny for some fever medicine? I remember there’s some left from last time."

These common medications were always stocked in the Ruan Family home.

Xiu Xi glanced at Ruan Lei, who was still retching by the toilet, frowned, and seeing Ruan Jiaojiao worried, he ultimately didn’t say anything but turned to go and fetch the medicine. However, Ruanlin Family came up with him as well.

On seeing Ruan Lei pale and squatting by the toilet, she immediately scolded: "What did I tell you yesterday, huh? I told you to dress properly, but you insisted on playing the hero. Now look at you, you’ve turned into a mess!"

With that said, she shoved the medicine into his mouth and took the cup from Ruan Jiaojiao’s hand to feed it to him, touching his forehead and feeling the scorching temperature which made her expression even more grave.

Moving involves physical labor, and going back and forth made it easy to sweat, especially for someone with Little Fatty’s build, who sweats easily. In December’s weather, she saw him take off his coat, immediately scolded him, but he probably put it back on when she was looking and took it off again once she wasn’t, which led to the fever. freёnovelkiss.com

Thinking this, Ruanlin Family almost wanted to jab his forehead, frustrated with his untimeliness and causing trouble, but she was also heartsore, scolding him a bit more and then helped him back to bed to lie down.

Don’t be deceived by Little Fatty’s usual lively bouncing around; once he fell ill, he seemed utterly drained of energy, lying on the bed with a sickly appearance that was pitiful to see.

Ruan Jiaojiao was truly heartbroken, and Ruanlin Family made some hot ginger soup for Little Fatty, which she personally served.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she asked, "Brother, you weren’t scared sick by Xiaobai, were you?"

"Nonsense, brother wasn’t," Ruan Lei denied, and indeed, it wasn’t Xiaobai who scared him. It was just a minor factor. He had already started having diarrhea last evening, and the fever was bound to come sooner or later. At most, one could say that the scare hastened the onset of the fever.

Du Qing and Ruan Jianjun came to Ruan Family after having breakfast and were surprised to see their son ill.

Although Little Fatty was fat, he was usually in excellent health, sturdy as a bull. He rarely suffered from headaches or fevers, and he almost never even sneezed so it was unexpected that he now had a fever.
