Huai Xu wore a sullen expression as she lay on her bed, forced to play house with Song Yingshi.

"Wow, 37.2 degrees (98.96 F)! You're burning up!" Song Yingshi exclaimed as she held up the thermometer. "How are you feeling?"

"..." Seeing the concerned look Song Yingshi was giving her, Huai Xu stated expressionlessly, "I'm fine."

Perhaps annoyed by Song Yingshi's pestering, Huai Xu coughed twice after speaking.

"You're even coughing! Stop acting tough!" Song Yingshi reprimanded. Grabbing the warm water and fever medicine by the bed, she continued, "You need to take medicine when you're sick. Here, I'll feed you. Ah—"

The nerves on Huai Xu's forehead twitched at this sight. Immediately, she said, "I took my medicine not long ago. It's not yet time for another dose."

Song Yingshi sighed regretfully at these words. Putting the medicine aside, she said, "Drink more water, then."

Not wanting to argue anymore with Song Yingshi, Huai Xu took the glass of mug water and gulped it down. Then, after setting the mug down on the bedside table, she said in a coaxing tone, "There's a rule in taking care of a patient."

"What is it?" Song Yingshi asked humbly.

"Let the patient rest in a quiet environment," Huai Xu said. Then, she pointed her chin at the door and continued, "I'm tired. I want to sleep."

"Are you sure you're not just saying that to get me to leave?" Song Yingshi asked skeptically.

"I'm tired," Huai Xu reiterated with a deadpan face.

"Alright, then," Song Yingshi sighed, conceding to Huai Xu's demand.

When Song Yingshi left the bedroom and gently closed the door behind her, the playful expression on her face gradually faded. When she saw that her mission remained incomplete, she knew she would likely have to spend the rest of the day providing Huai Xu with mandatory care.

After informing her mother she wouldn't return home for dinner, she grabbed the keys and left the house to buy groceries.

Although Huai Xu didn't say how she ended up sick, Song Yingshi could more or less guess the reason.
