Childhood Sweethearts: He’s Jealous Again!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 What Are You Laughing At?

Gu Zhihan, whose furrowed brow had just relaxed due to her fever subsiding, tightened again. He immediately picked up the phone and called his mother, “Mom, if you’re not busy right now, could you please prepare the injection? Luo Mengmeng has a fever, and I’m bringing her over for a shot.”

Right!

Exactly!

An injection!

Taking advantage of Mengmeng being asleep, Gu Zhihan planned to sneakily carry her to the hospital to get an injection so her fever would subside faster and she wouldn’t have to suffer so much.

“What happened?”

Upon hearing this, his mother instantly asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Oh my God!

Why was it his beloved daughter-in-law who had the fever, not his son?

It was lucky that Gu Zhihan had no idea what his mother was thinking at the moment, otherwise he might have burst a blood vessel.

“Mengmeng… Someone poured cold water on her, and she’s got a fever,” Gu Zhihan summarized today’s events briefly.

“Damn!” his mother exploded with a swear word, completely infuriated, “How dare they commit school violence against our Mengmeng. Watch me confront your principal tomorrow!”

“I’ve already informed the teachers and the principal. They said they’ll have a resolution tomorrow. Right now, the most important thing is to bring down Mengmeng’s fever,” Gu Zhihan’s voice couldn’t help but reveal a hint of urgency.

Her face is as red as a monkey’s butt. What if she gets feverish dumb?

Hearing the urgent voice on the other end, and imagining her son’s concerned look about his wife, his mother couldn’t help but chuckle.

Tsk tsk tsk…

“Why are you laughing?” Gu Zhihan felt almost frantic, and there his mother was, actually finding the time to laugh.

“Cough cough, I won’t laugh anymore,” his mother, called out by her son, instantly turned serious and continued, “Right, you just told me Mengmeng has a fever, but I didn’t ask how high it is. How high is Mengmeng’s fever?”

“38 degrees, her face is very red, but her body is cold.”

Gu Zhihan didn’t hesitate a second and answered swiftly and accurately.

“If it’s 38 degrees, there’s no need for medicinal treatment,” his mother shook her head on the other end of the line, “We should try another method.”

Normally an injection is needed only at 38.5 degrees. A mild fever of 38 degrees should subside on its own if kept warm. It’s good to recover naturally, as it strengthens resistance to germs. Frequent injections and medications could fill the body with drug antibodies, and he should be cautious about turning into a “medicine jar” in the future. Of course, if the fever is severe, seeking medical treatment is still necessary.

Gu Zhihan quickly pursued, “Then what other method can reduce the fever?”

“Well…” His mother paused, her tone suddenly taking on a mischievous air, “There is a way, but it might require you to make a sacrifice. Can you agree to it?”

A sacrifice was needed for him to bring Mengmeng’s fever down?

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhihan nodded resolutely, “I agree, I’m willing to sacrifice myself for Luo Mengmeng’s sake!”

After all, he was to blame for this incident.

If he hadn’t used her as his shield, those girls wouldn’t have bullied Mengmeng out of jealousy.

So, it was only right for him to “pay with his life” now.

“…”

On the other end of the phone, his mother was completely bewildered and nearly threw her phone down, bursting out, “You idiot, I think you must be feverish too! When did I say your sacrifice meant giving your life for Mengmeng?”

“Then what is it?” Gu Zhihan felt awkward for a rare moment.

“I meant for you to sleep with Mengmeng, keeping her warm until she sweats. The fever will naturally go down,” his mother explained all at once.

A temperature of 38 degrees just needs some warming up and sweating it out, and by the next day she’ll mostly likely be fine!
