Chapter 91 Hiding under the covers and pulling hair
Even though the boy she liked was right in front of her, she had to endure the pain of a fever all by herself, while another girl had to take care of him and wipe his body.
This feeling is like having a tiny, sharp thorn stuck in your heart, one that you can't pull out or dissolve.
Every time I see this image, the thorns pierce deeper into my flesh, and layers of aching pain wash over me.
Jiang Youyu had never hated her inability to walk as much as she had ever done.
During the time she was in the hospital after waking up, only her legs, which had lost all feeling, could bring her some comfort.
That accident took my parents' lives. If I had survived unharmed, I would still be living a peaceful and ordinary life, as if nothing had ever happened...
Isn't this a betrayal of them?
She should lose something too, whether it's her legs or her insignificant life.
Only in this way could the self-blame and hatred in her heart be somewhat appeased.
But now, another equally oppressive feeling has risen up.
"What's next?"
"Go get another damp towel and put it on your forehead," Jiang Youyu said softly.
...
Gu Zhibei woke up several times in succession.
Every time I woke up, I would see the two girls with their brows furrowed with worry.
At noon, I had some hot porridge made with small fish.
By evening, he started sweating, and his fever had subsided considerably.
Fearing a relapse, he was still ordered by the two to stay in bed and rest.
It is said that Aunt Zhou and Zhou Suisui came by halfway through, and seeing that his temperature had dropped, they did not disturb him too much.
Fortunately, I didn't stay too long.
For some reason, when I open my eyes and see the two girls, my gaze always involuntarily falls on their slender bodies.
I suddenly have this urge to play a joystick game.
Gu Zhibei secretly checked it out.
It is said that warmth amplifies stimulation, disrupts the endocrine balance, and a restless state makes people subconsciously use pleasant feelings to counteract it.
Not surprising then.
He wasn't a pervert who was so lustful that he would reward others even when he had a fever.
After making sure the blanket was covering him properly, Gu Zhibei drank some warm water that the young lady had handed him and fell asleep peacefully.
In a hazy state, he seemed to hear the two arguing quietly, followed by the sound of the blanket being pulled back…
...
"Are you going to stay here tonight?" Jiang Youyu frowned.
Pei Qingning made this request as soon as she had set up her bed on the floor in Gu Zhibei's room.
Jiang Youyu was fairly satisfied with Lemon Essence's performance today.
Although this young lady was clumsy and couldn't even cook porridge, she was obedient enough to take care of Gu Zhibei all day without complaint.
But what kind of thing is it for a boy and a girl to sleep in the same room?
As a senior student, it was perfectly reasonable for me to sleep on the floor in his room to take care of him who had a fever, especially since he would get thirsty at night.
She was just Gu Zhibei's classmate and friend.
Does the young lady not even know how to write the word "restraint"?
"No way," Jiang Youyu said coldly.
It's inconvenient for her to take care of him during the day, but it's different at night.
She had absolutely no need for this woman, who was quite an eyesore in every sense, to bother her.
"You're a girl, don't you feel ashamed to sleep in the same room as a boy?"
"I laid it."
Pei Qingning pointed to the bed on the floor, showing no sign of giving up.
"You're not allowed to sleep."
"I'm the person the aunt appointed to take care of him, why can't I sleep in?"
Jiang Youyu sneered.
"On the contrary, you wouldn't be thinking of climbing into his bed in the middle of the night, would you?"
"I've slept with Gu Zhibei many times."
"...What nonsense are you talking about! You think you can fool me?"
"Gu Zhibei sleeps with me every day during school lunch break," Pei Qingning said earnestly.
Jiang Youyu was so choked up that she almost laughed out of anger.
School lunch break...
Lying face down on the table is considered sleeping together?
They really know how to pat themselves on the back.
"I don't want to waste time arguing with you about these trivial things."
Jiang Youyu glanced at the sleeping boy, then stood up from her wheelchair.
"Although I don't know how you know my secret, I can tell you that he doesn't need a clumsy young lady to take care of him."
She slightly raised her eyes and stared into the other person's angry eyes.
Even though Jiang Youyu stood up and straightened her back, she was still shorter than Pei Qingning.
Even so, her aura still overwhelmed her opponent.
Without her help, the young lady wouldn't know how to take care of a sick person.
Therefore, Jiang Youyu was already in an unassailable position in this matter.
"Let's sleep together." Pei Qingning had no choice but to reluctantly give in.
Jiang Youyu felt that her words sounded a bit strange, but she didn't delve into it.
She pointed to the bed on the floor and asked, "How can two people squeeze into such a narrow space?"
Gu Zhibei slept on his side, and there was plenty of space for him to live alone.
However, if they were to sleep on the floor, it would only be enough for one person to sleep comfortably. Two people would have to squeeze together to sleep, even if they were both petite girls.
"Mm." Pei Qingning nodded.
Jiang Youyu stared at her for a long time before reluctantly looking away.
"Whatever, just don't cause me any trouble."
Lemon spirits are indeed obedient during the day, and with someone watching over them at night, they can't cause any trouble.
After reaching an agreement, the two quickly washed up, turned off the lights, and got into bed.
Because there weren't any extra clean blankets at home, and the space was already small, it would be even more crowded if the two of them each had their own blanket, so they squeezed into the same blanket.
The room was quiet; only the soft sound of breathing could be heard.
Jiang Youyu tried her best to curl up, but even with her back pressed against the side of the bed, her body inevitably ended up pressed against the lemon.
She couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Could you step back a little?"
"There's a wall behind us," Pei Qingning said, equally dissatisfied.
Jiang Youyu had no choice but to adjust her posture. Suddenly, her body stiffened, as if she had bumped into something, and the annoyance in her tone became even more obvious:
"How did you get so fat..."
Pei Qingning did not respond.
In the darkness, Jiang Youyu couldn't see her face clearly, but she could clearly feel a gaze falling on a certain part of her body, full of contempt.
"Tch." The girl suddenly let out a small, cold laugh.
Jiang Youyu was furious and wished she could bite a piece of flesh off the other person on the spot, but she was afraid of disturbing Gu Zhibei's rest.
She stopped curling up and instead squeezed outwards, trying to take up more space.
Pei Qingning was naturally unwilling to back down and refused to yield an inch.
The two of them squeezed and struggled under the covers, even resorting to using their hands and feet in their haste.
Jiang Youyu gently nudged the other person's shoulder with her elbow, inching outwards little by little.
Pei Qingning was naturally unhappy and raised her hand to scratch the soft flesh on her side.
Little Fish trembled instantly and instinctively shrank back, but in the blink of an eye, it stubbornly pushed back and reached out to grab the other's shoulder.
Neither of the two girls was willing to give in, and the innocent blanket was pulled and twisted out of shape. Even though the other girl would sometimes press down on their hair and hurt them, neither of them was willing to back down.
However, the final result is self-evident: the little fish, lacking physical advantages, was squeezed into a corner and completely lost all room to move.
Jiang Youyu was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't beat him, so she could only turn her back to the lemon spirit, press her forehead against the hard side of the bed, and reflect on her actions.
She didn't know when she fell asleep.
But when I woke up, it was still pitch black outside the window, and there was still a long time before dawn.
Jiang Youyu subconsciously turned over, preparing to continue sleeping, when she was suddenly startled.
The lemon juice next to me has disappeared!
Before she could even react, the sound of the blankets being turned over suddenly came from the bed, followed by a soft, satisfied hum from the young girl…
