Chapter 210 A Good Child Worthy of Trust
At this moment, there was a sound from the door outside. Ji Xun knew that Grandma Kang had returned.
He quickly and gently put Shang Qing's little hand down. His legs felt a little numb, and he struggled to stand up. Ignoring the tingling pain in his legs, he hurriedly trotted out.
"Qingqing, look what grandma brought you..." Before Grandma Kang finished her words, Ji Xun had already come to the door and made a gesture to silence her.
Grandma Kang was a little confused. It was already past eleven in the morning, so she asked in a very low voice, "Is Qingqing still not awake?"
Ji Xun took the bags from Grandma Kang and carried them. With his other hand, he supported Grandma Kang as they walked inside, explaining, "Grandma, my sister has a fever. She just took some medicine and went to bed."
"Why do you have a fever? You were fine when I left."
Hearing Ji Xun's words, Grandma Kang's face was filled with anxiety, and her pace quickened. She was really worried. Shang Qing was a child with good health and rarely got sick. This had saved her a lot of worry since she was a child, so why was she sick now?
Ji Xun understood how Grandma Kang felt at the moment. He felt the same way. But after all, jogging like this would be troublesome if she fell. He could only support Grandma Kang to prevent her from getting hurt due to her excitement and worry.
"Grandma, slow down, don't be in a hurry, be careful not to fall."
When she came to Shang Qing's bedroom, she saw her lovely granddaughter lying in bed so sickly. Her lively and lively face was flushed, her rosy and shiny lips were gone, and she had lost her former vitality. Grandma Kang's heart ached badly.
Sitting gently on the edge of the bed, Grandma Kang placed her slightly rough palm on Shang Qing's cheek. Feeling the warmth from her palm, Grandma Kang frowned.
Grandma Kang turned around and looked at Ji Xun who was standing beside her: "Xiao Xun, how high is Qingqing's fever?"
Ji Xun was a little embarrassed and murmured, "I, I didn't predict it."
"How can we not test it?" Grandma Kang muttered, and ordered Ji Xun, "Xiao Xun, go get the thermometer."
"Grandma, here." Ji Xun turned sideways, picked up the thermometer from the table and handed it to Grandma Kang.
This thermometer was the most old-fashioned. In Grandma Kang's opinion, this type of thermometer was the most accurate. But precisely because it was this type, Ji Xun didn't take Shang Qing's temperature. He simply felt her and knew she had a high fever.
Grandma Kang took the thermometer from Ji Xun's hand and was stunned for a moment. When she saw the abnormal blush on Ji Xun's cheeks, she reacted.
Grandma Kang smiled helplessly and stopped talking. She pulled down the collar of Shang Qing's pajamas, revealing a large area of pink and white. Then she lifted one of Shang Qing's arms and inserted the thermometer into her armpit. Then, she put her arm back down and hugged her.
After finishing this series of actions, Grandma Kang turned her head to look at Ji Xun. Sure enough, Ji Xun had his back to them and was not looking at them.
Humph, this silly boy, didn't he say he loved Qingqing? He's so cowardly now. But this is better. This way, it shows that he has good character and is a good child worth entrusting to the future.
If her Qingqing and Xiaoxun were together, there would seem to be many advantages. Qingqing wouldn't have to leave home, and they'd been childhood sweethearts, knowing each other's personalities. Xiaoxun was a genius, with high IQ, EQ, and good looks. If they had a baby, it would be incredibly talented.
Yes, if she had a baby, she would be the grandmother, coaxing and teasing the baby every day, enjoying the joy of family. Wow, that's awesome.
Thinking this way, it was like killing two birds with one stone. Grandma Kang was increasingly satisfied with this. She now looked at Ji Xun not as her own grandson, but rather as her grandson-in-law.
But this child is too unproactive. He is always so timid and hides his love. He doesn't know how to take the initiative. How can he make Shang Qing understand his feelings?
This child looks smart, but in this regard, he is still too introverted and too stupid.
"Xiao Xun, come here." Grandma Kang seemed to be directing Ji Xun, whose cheeks were slightly red, and handed Shang Qing to him. Ignoring his stiff and silly look, she said, "Hold Qingqing tightly and don't let her move. If the thermometer is not clamped tightly, it will be inaccurate. Call me again in about 5 minutes."
Grandma Kang stood up quickly and walked out with a brisk pace. She wanted to tell her old friends in the group chat that she had something to do today and asked them not to come in the afternoon. She would stop working for half a day.
Ji Xun blinked his eyes. It was a very strange feeling that Grandma Kang had been staring at him and looking him up and down like an object being appraised.
Especially now, as he obediently cuddled Shang Qing, who had fallen asleep with a fever, he was even more confused. Grandma Kang had just been so worried and anxious, and after checking on him, she'd gone straight to assigning tasks and then trotted off in high spirits? This was too mysterious.
Ji Xun hugged Shang Qing carefully, especially her arm holding the thermometer. Even though she had a fever, she was still sweet and soft. Ji Xun was even more worried about Shang Qing's current situation, so he let her upper body lie soft and safe in his arms.
Shang Qing's body was limp, and her head, which was resting on his arm, began to slide down weakly.
Ji Xun quickly lifted Shang Qing up slightly, quickly protecting her head with one hand. Her lips brushed gently across his chin and chest. The warmth of her lips seemed to burn him, and Ji Xun's handsome cheeks and chest instantly turned pink.
Grandma Kang came in with a basin of water. Seeing Ji Xun motionless, her cheeks flushed, she was a little confused: "Xiao Xun, isn't it time yet?"
"Ah? Oh. Grandma, let me check the time." Ji Xun hurriedly concealed his embarrassment and shyness, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and replied, "Grandma, half a minute left."
"Okay." Grandma Kang put the bowl aside and came to the bed. She gently opened Shang Qing's collar, reached in, and took out the thermometer.
Grandma Kang naturally noticed Ji Xun's eyes closed as he tilted his head. The tips of his ears also turned red. He was such a handsome and adorable boy. He started with affection but ended with courtesy. He was a good boy. She hadn't misjudged him.
Grandma Kang didn't think about it anymore. She was more worried about Shang Qing's health. She took the thermometer and looked at it. It showed: 39.5 degrees.
"Oh, such a high fever!" Grandma Kang sighed. If a child had a fever like this, it would be considered a high fever. Even more so for an adult.
Grandma Kang lifted the quilt covering Shang Qing and felt the damp heat: "I'll wipe Qingqing's body. It will make you feel better."
Ji Xun placed the basin on a stool so that it would be more convenient for Grandma Kang to use it. He then ran out, not forgetting to inform Grandma Kang: "Grandma, I'm going to cook."
"This child..." Grandma Kang nodded and began to wipe Shang Qing's cheeks, neck, front and back, hands and feet.
Having taken care of Ji Xun in the hospital for such a long time, it was very easy for Grandma Kang to wipe Shang Qing like this.
Thanks to Grandma Kang's careful wiping, the cool touch actually made Shang Qing, who was feverish and anxious, feel very comfortable. Her frown relaxed slightly.
