Chapter 123: 111 Fifth Master: Kissing You Because I Like It (3 More)_2 Chapter 123: 111 Fifth Master: Kissing You Because I Like It (3 More)_2 Tang Wan’s fever was too severe. Although she had obediently taken her medicine, the effects were not kicking in quickly, so Jiang Jinsang could only wring out a towel to physically cool her down. She was half-asleep and half-awake,pletely out of it.
Jiang Jinsang called Dr. Zhou again.
At this time, Zhou Zhongqing had already returned to Beijing to prepare for Mr. Tang’s surgery. He had performed four surgeries consecutively over the past two days and had managed to leave work a bit earlier today. He went to bed before it got dark, having drawn the curtains.
The ringtone of Jiang Jinsang’s phone was uniquely set, different from others, and it instantly brought a buzzing in Zhou Zhongqing’s head. Thinking something had happened to him, he practically leaped out of bed, “Hello—”
“Uncle Zhou.”
“What’s the matter, feeling unwell?” He was already throwing back the covers, ready to get out of bed and dress to go to Pingjiang.
“It’s not me who’s feeling unwell.”
“Is it Mr. Tang?”
“No, it’s Wanwan.”
“Miss Tang?” Zhou Zhongqing paused with his hands on his clothes. “What’s wrong with her?”
“Her high fever won’t break.”
Zhou Zhongqing: “…”
In the medicalmunity, even if he wasn’t considered an authority, he could still be regarded as an expert. The patients he dealt with daily… they were allplicated and difficult cases. Now youe to me with…
A cold and a fever?
“How is she now, any symptoms, what medicine has she taken?” Zhou Zhongqing still patiently asked.
After Jiang Jinsang finished describing it, he sighed and said, “No big problem, just wait calmly for her fever to break. It takes time. If there’s no improvement in an hour, then you… ”
After hanging up the phone and keeping watch for another hour or more, Tang Wan’s temperature indeed had started to drop, and Jiang Jinsang finally gave a long sigh of relief.
Thinking back to how she had run out in her pajamas this morning—after all, it was winter. He feared she might have caught a chill then, plus she had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, which would certainly have made her feel even worse.
Around eleven o’clock, she broke out in a sweat. Her entire body was curled up in the nkets, and her lips were dry and white from the fever.
“Wanwan, drink some water.” Jiang Jinsang remembered Zhou Zhongqing saying that a fever could cause a lot of water loss, and he thought it might be good to get her to drink more water if possible.
But Tang Wan was already too delirious with fever to discern night from day, and she was indifferent to his words.
Hesitant, Jiang Jinsang held a cup of water, took a sip himself, and leaned down…
This method of feeding water or medicine was often seen on TV. Having watched some when he was bored during a hospital stay, Jiang Jinsang had thought it pretentious and melodramatic. But now, it seemed that there was a reason why those scenes kept getting filmed and why people enjoyed watching them.
…
However, at that moment, Tang Wan’s phone suddenly started vibrating. He squinted at it, the contact name:
[Spoiled Pork Belly.]
From pork belly to cured pork, who was this girlfriend of hers?
He didn’t want to answer, but after many repeated calls, he frowned and reluctantly picked up, “Tang Xiaowan, what’s going on? What are you doing?”
He recognized the voice; it was the same one from that time Tang Wan had cleverly avoided going to his room and called a girlfriend to make up an excuse to get away. So this contact, like the previous “pork belly,” had to be the same person.
“I can’t even, today was just too much. The manager in our department, that bald guy Iined to you about, actually went out of his way to praise me. He smiled at me in such a creepy way.”
“Hello? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
The person on the other end began to sound anxious, almost as if they were yelling.
Just as she was about to hang up, a calm and tender voice came through, “Sorry, she’s asleep.”
A man!
And she’s asleep?
The person on the other end paused, chuckled sheepishly, and then spoke in a softened,dy-like voice, “Sorry for disturbing.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Nothing, that’s all, carry on.” After that, the other party hung up the phone.
Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly. Tang Wan’s girlfriends sure had quite different personalities from her.
Meanwhile, the person on the other end, clutching their phone, cursed their timing but then thought it was considerate of them to hang up right away.
Is this the “wild man” Tang Xiaowan mentioned?
His voice is pleasant, well, for such a nice voice, her 40-meter-long sword can be temporarily sheathed.
…
Jiang Jinsang stood by the bedside for a long time, until Shen Shuci sent a text message:
[“You’re not nning to stay overnight next door, are you?”]
[“Wanwan has a fever.”]
Shen Shuci frowned, getting ready to check on her, when another message followed: [“She’s already cooled down and fallen asleep, don’te in and disturb her, I’ll trouble you to take care of Jiangjiang.”]
A single text message couldn’t possibly send her away, Shen Shuci headed to the next room, and as she was about to push the door open, she found it was locked from the inside.
If Tang Wan had really just fallen asleep, Shen Shuci dared not knock loudly.
Another message arrived: [“Don’t worry, she’s truly sick, I wouldn’t do anything to a patient.”]
Shen Shuci bit her teeth in annoyance: [“If Wanwan is missing even a single hair tomorrow, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to Beijing.”]
[“Then I’d have a legitimate reason to stay here, which would be nice.”]
…
Having no other choice, and since she obviously couldn’t sleep in Jiang Jinsang’s room, Shen Shuci could only carry the already asleep Jiangjiang back to her own room.
It was all so nonsensical.
Tang Wan had an unsettled sleep that night, perspiring several times, her mind foggy and filled with Jiang Jinsang’s shadow twisting and turning.

The next morning, at the Jiang Family in Beijing
Zhou Zhongqing had already made arrangements with the hospital. Mr. Tang definitely needed to be hospitalized early, and all this while, Madam Jiang had been phoning to keep up with the progress.
So, any new development would be promptly ryed to her by Zhou Zhongqing.
“Madam, I suggesting over early would be better. Once here, we can give Mr. Tang a moreprehensive checkup, and then adjust the surgical n ording to his current health condition…”
Madam Jiang said with augh, “Dr. Zhou, I haveplete trust in you handling this, but how confident are you about the surgery?”
“There are risks with any surgery, but rest assured, I will do my utmost.”
…
At this time, someone preparing to go to work came down from upstairs and greeted the two in the living room, “Mom, Dr. Zhou.”
“By the way, I was just discussing with Dr. Zhou about Mr. Tanging here for his medical treatment and surgery,” Madam Jiang told him with a smile.
“Hmm.”
“The Tang family of three, along with your brother, and Jiangjiang – to bring the old, the weak, the sick, and the children to Beijing isn’t easy…” Madam Jiang said, sighing helplessly.
Old, weak, sick, and with children? The person had just sat down to eat breakfast when he heard this, his eyelid twitched:
His intuition told him:
This was not simple.
“Thepany hasn’t been busytely, right? Considering how long their family has been taking care of Xiaowu and Jiangjiang, why don’t you go to Pingjiang to pick them up?”
“Ourpany is very busy!” He immediately refused.
“Work is never finished. Pingjiang is a nice ce. You’ve been looking thinner from all thete nights; it worries me. It would be good for you to rx, think of it as a vacation.”
He was at a loss for words. With the conversation having reached this point, what else could he say!
“Don’t worry about anything else, I’ll book your flight, you just need to bring them back safely.”
“I had almost forgotten, the students will soon be on holiday, and we’ll be entering the Spring Festival travel rush. We should hurry to book the tickets.”
Saying so, she didn’t even give him time to react, the matter was settled!
At that moment, the bread in his mouth tasted nd as wax.
