My Life with Narration-Chapter 306 - 303: Wireless Fast Charging

"Done!" After hanging up the phone, the landlady felt as clever as a whip, thinking she had a real knack for matchmaking. She even pondered whether she should start a matchmaking agency herself, to connect lonely hearts.

If nothing else, she had two older singles around her; she could start by pushing them out there. Just thinking about it filled her with hope for life.

While she was caught up in her thoughts, Shen Yi suddenly spoke: "Why are you like this? Who’s out of battery now? Doing this makes it seem as if I can’t live without him!"

Meanwhile, at Su Qing’s place, Shen Yi was slumped on the sofa, looking quite unwell, with a thin blanket covering her. A little girl was wiggling her way up the sofa with the help of a big yellow dog, placing a damp towel on Shen Yi’s forehead while mumbling, "Auntie, be good and rest well, or you’ll have to get a shot on the butt!"

Indeed, while Shen Yi’s energy was running low, she wasn’t a phone, after all, so there was no shutdown program. However, she really had fallen ill.

She had a bit of a fever, and more crucially, her period had arrived. With a lot going on recently, she was significantly worn out. All these factors combined, this iron lady finally succumbed to illness.

The last time she missed work was for a car accident, lying in the hospital for three days. Even during regular rest periods, she, as a boss, would occasionally deal with work on her phone and computer.

After all these years, she got used to it. This time it wasn’t a major illness, but she couldn’t get up and was unable to work. She asked Wen Nanqing to come over, planning for her to take her to the hospital, but upon arriving and seeing her state, she immediately took a photo and posted it on her social media.

Then she sternly warned her not to go to the hospital for the time being, saying it would be a waste not to take advantage of the rare opportunity. Afterward, she called Su Qing.

Hearing Shen Yi speak like this, the landlady was instantly displeased, hands on her hips, raising an eyebrow: "Hey, you ungrateful wretch, who do you think I’m doing this for? Am I doing this to find myself a man? Now you’re blaming me, but before the call, why didn’t you say so? If you’d said so, I wouldn’t have called. Leave you to burn yourself into a fool at home, wouldn’t that be great?"

The landlady felt aggrieved. How could doing a good deed go unappreciated and even get blamed?

This was only because it was a young man her sister liked. Otherwise, with her skills, she would have snatched him up by now. So what if she’s divorced with a child, her mother is quite fond of Su Qing anyway, and her sister held back because of her. And you’re blaming me?

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s face turned even redder, already flushed due to the fever, she could feel her whole body heating up.

Maybe it was because she realized her argument was unreasoned, or perhaps her little secret had been exposed. In any case, she conceded and weakly said:

"Well... you could have been more tactful about it!"

"How am I supposed to be more tactful? Isn’t this tactful enough? You can’t expect me to tell Little Su that I’m sick and ask him to come back to charge me, right? I’m not as high-tech as you, with wireless fast charging. My dear, I’m old-school, I have interfaces."

Shen Yi: ...

This young wife, relying on her rich experience and her young, naive child, wildly drives the conversation to racy places, the wheels of her innuendo running right over Shen Yi’s face.

Faced with such an onslaught, Shen Yi shut her mouth. After all, the call had been made, and there was nothing she could do.

For Shen’s kind of inconsistency, the landlady expressed strong condemnation and disdain, thinking, "Hypocrite."

Upon receiving the news, Su Qing immediately laughed. Aunt Shen was out of battery and about to power off; this was big news. Had the inflatable models been phased out and replaced with rechargeable ones?

Thinking this, he declined Li Zijun’s request to leave together and headed straight home, humming a tune all the way.

At the moment he opened the door, he was a bit stunned. The landlady was busy in the kitchen, several dishes were already on the dining table, and the little girl was wrestling with the big yellow dog on the cushions on the balcony.

Shen Yi was slouched on the sofa, her face slightly flushed, but she looked under the weather.

"Oh, Little Su, you’re back! Come on, we’re getting ready to eat!" Wen Nanqing, carrying a plate of stir-fried pork to the table, said to him.

Hearing this, Su Qing was a bit puzzled: "Sister Wen, what’s the occasion today? Why such a grand preparation?"

As he spoke, Su Qing took off his shoes.

"It’s Qixi Festival today!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing paused in motion, then looked up at his home and everyone in the room.

He hadn’t got the address wrong, then took out his phone to check, and indeed it was Qixi Festival. He had been so busy these days, he forgot.

"We... we..."

"Yes, on Qixi, lovebirds are out sweet-talking each other. We singles shouldn’t treat ourselves poorly, right? It just so happens that Little Yi is sick today. Consider it a celebration."

Su Qing: ...

Is the art of language this hard to grasp now? Was it that he didn’t understand, or you didn’t explain it clearly? What’s there to celebrate about being sick?

Su Qing walked in, immediately noticing Shen Yi slouched on the sofa, a towel on her forehead, and laughed.

"Oh, got a fever? How high is it, 39 or 40?"

At the sound of his voice, Shen Yi’s whole body broke out in goosebumps; if closer, you might even see the little red spots on her neck.

With just one line, her energy was restored by half, and she felt much more lively.

But since she was indeed ill, her body remained weak, and she couldn’t help but glare at Su Qing and retort: "What do you care, busy with cases lately? Haven’t seen you for days. I have to pick up and drop off Big Yellow every day. You should pay me wages, deduct it from Big Yellow’s salary!"

"The case is indeed very busy, it’s a homicide. A woman, around thirty, was killed and dismembered, and her body was dumped into a wild river. The scene... tsk tsk tsk!"

Listening to him speak so nonchalantly, both women felt a chill. If it were anyone else or if he had said this in the past, they wouldn’t feel anything, but now they both know he works in the police department, so they can’t just brush it off.

"Is it true, Su, I’m scared easily, so don’t frighten me. In today’s society, is anyone really so cruel?" the landlady asked timidly.

"Don’t listen to his nonsense. Is that the kind of case he can handle? He’s just trying to scare people!" Shen Yi said. Although she said this, her expression showed that she didn’t quite believe her own words.

After all, she knows Su Qing has a sister working there, and she’s a detective. It might actually be true.

Su Qing didn’t explain further. Instead, he quickly removed the towel from her head, felt it with his hand, and realized that it was hard to detect the temperature due to the towel. So he simply placed his hand on her neck.

"What... what are you doing?"

Feeling his hand on her neck, Shen Yi reacted strongly, sitting up straight.

"I’m obviously checking how cooked you are from the fever. You’re quite warm. How about going to the hospital to get a saline drip?" Su Qing said casually.

He sensed that she was indeed a bit hot.

"No... no need. I took some fever medicine, so it should pass!" As she spoke, Shen Yi felt her body was hot, but thankfully, her energy level had restored a lot after a few conversations.

"Just being stubborn, huh?"

"Oh, Su, leave her be. I took her temperature. It’s thirty-eight degrees, not too serious. After taking medicine and with your care for a night, she should be almost recovered!" The landlady said, deliberately not mentioning more so as not to embarrass someone.

Thirty-eight degrees is manageable after taking medicine. Unless the fever persists until tomorrow morning, then a hospital visit would be necessary.

Everyone’s an adult here, not so fragile. For common colds and fevers, most would rather take medicine and endure it themselves than go to the hospital.

"Alright, let’s eat. Su, help her up!" The landlady said, bringing her daughter over.

Su Qing sighed and helped Shen Yi up from the sofa.

The four of them sat at the dining table, with Da Huang lying on Shen Yi’s feet, seemingly knowing she had a fever and trying to warm her.

There was also a tablet on the table, featuring a video call with Tang Nan.

On Valentine’s Day, even though they were all single, it didn’t stop them from celebrating. Most of the dishes on the table were ordered from outside.

They seemed to enjoy the meal. Shen Yi had some porridge, which helped her restore strength.

Perhaps the medicine was working, as Shen Yi appeared much better. Taking the chance, she asked Tang Nan when the material from Miss Sister could be sent over, but Tang Nan just shook her head, saying that she hadn’t been contacted.

After the meal, everyone was quite satisfied. Just when Su Qing thought the landlady asked him to come back because Shen Yi was sick,

Wen Nanqing suddenly spoke, "Su, my brother wants to meet you, but seeing you’re always so busy, we had to keep putting it off. When do you have time?"

Hearing this, he was stunned. Why does Big Boss Wen want to see him? They don’t know each other and have never crossed paths, do they?

Probably noticing his confusion, Wen Nanqing explained, "My brother has already started using his connections to investigate Xu Feng’s company."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was delighted, "How’s it going?"

"Quite well. I’ve heard they’ve identified issues, and Wang Zheng has blocked Xu Feng’s logistics. No one is taking it locally, and it’s too late for out-of-province deliveries!"

Shen Yi also nodded, "Xu Feng contacted me this afternoon, saying he could supply as usual, at the same price as before, and asked for my opinion!"

To that, Su Qing raised an eyebrow, "And what do you think?"

"I’m not feeling well, so I told him to discuss it in a couple of days!"

"Well done!" Su Qing gave a thumbs up.

"Everything’s going so smoothly, so my brother really wants to meet the strategist behind it," Wen Nanqing laughed.

[Wen Jingqi’s ulterior motives go beyond just wanting to meet you. He also wants to see if anyone’s eyeing his sister. This action was even approved by Old Master Wen. With such a calculating person like you, they can’t feel at ease. There’s an old saying: it’s not the thief you fear, but the thief’s constant plotting!]

Su Qing: ...

Well, well, his actions have caught the attention of someone suspicious. It’s understandable if they’re overthinking, but hasn’t someone already been sent to check things out? Why do they all want to come and see?

"Alright then, let’s meet tomorrow. Wen, you can arrange the time as you see fit!"

"No problem, I’ll contact my brother right away!"
