Chapter 221: Chapter 221: He Also Got Chickenpox
Mengmeng, who was taking her temperature, was oblivious to the inner turmoil he was experiencing at the moment.
She lowered her tiptoes, looked at him worriedly, and took his hand to walk inside the house, “Gu Zhihan, I feel like you really might have a fever. Let’s check with a thermometer again!”
When she had felt his forehead earlier, it had been warmer than hers.
“No need…” Gu Zhihan was about to refuse, but the young girl had already pulled him into the bedroom.
Luo Mengmeng had found the thermometer and personally tucked it under his arm, “Taking your temperature won’t hurt you, just check it out!”
The girl’s voice was soft and tender, like sweet rice porridge. After Gu Zhihan gave a grunt of approval, he let her have her way.
Five minutes later, Luo Mengmeng pulled out the thermometer, and her expression changed instantly upon seeing the reading.
“Do I really have a fever?” Gu Zhihan glanced at her face and guessed.
“You do have a fever!” Luo Mengmeng’s gaze moved away from the thermometer and met his eyes, her brows furrowed in concern as she excitedly asked, “How could you suddenly have a fever?”
“It’s just a fever. Why are you making such a fuss?” Gu Zhihan was indifferent.
Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but add, “In the middle of summer, you have a fever out of nowhere, am I not supposed to be shocked?”
Indeed, he hadn’t been caught in the rain, nor had he caught a cold, so why the sudden fever?
Gu Zhihan was also puzzled.
But he soon understood.
He had caught chickenpox!
It had eagerly surfaced while he was getting an IV.
Mengmeng was overwhelmed with guilt when she saw the chickenpox.
It was obvious, without a doubt, that he had gotten it from her while he had been taking care of her.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my…” Luo Mengmeng’s tears were about to fall.
Before she could even finish saying “fault,” her lips were covered by a slender, handsome hand.
Gu Zhihan, receiving an IV, glanced at her, “Don’t blame yourself, I did everything willingly.”
He had been very aware that chickenpox was contagious.
He knew there was a significant chance he might catch it.
So even if he did catch it, it was not unexpected.
The more he thought of her, the more Luo Mengmeng wanted to cry, “I don’t care, I infected you, and I will take responsibility!”
“I will take care of you myself until you are better!” Luo Mengmeng wiped her tears and said assertively.
Hearing her say that, Gu Zhihan smiled faintly, “If you’re taking care of me, does that mean you won’t go out to enjoy your summer?”
He still remembered how she had been nagging him about wanting to go out to have fun.

“With you like this, how could I possibly feel like having fun!” Luo Mengmeng shook her head emphatically like a rattle-drum.
At this moment, no tourist spot could attract her anymore.
All she wanted was for him to get well quickly.
Gu Zhihan stopped talking, but the corners of his lips slightly curled upwards.
This silly girl…
“Gu Zhihan, are you itching? Do you want me to apply some lotion for you?” Luo Mengmeng brought her face close to his, asking caringly.
“No…” Gu Zhihan initially wanted to refuse, but looking at her cheeks so close to him, somehow, he changed his mind, “Okay.”
“Then I’ll go get some alcohol!”
Mengmeng immediately rushed off to fetch the items.
Perhaps because he had caught it from her, being able to do something for him now might alleviate some of the guilt in her heart.
