Chapter 14 Part 1
He had a very good sleep.
When Yu Li's biological clock naturally woke him up, he saw the floral pattern on the suite's wallpaper.
He was disoriented, and it took him a while to realize that he was lying on the bed.
Wait, the bed!
Wasn't he sleeping by the side of the bed last night? How did he end up on the bed?
Could it be that his sleeping posture was uncomfortable, so he sleepwalked and climbed onto Yan Shiting's bed?!
Yu Li suddenly froze, not daring to move a muscle, afraid that if he moved, he would see Yan Shiting lying on the bed with him.
... The psychological shadow that incident cast that morning was just too heavy.
In the midst of his jumbled thoughts, Yu Li heard a coughing sound coming from the direction of the sofa.
Yu Li came to his senses and slowly sat up, seeing Yan Shiting leaning on the sofa, coughing into his fist.
Catching his movement from the corner of his eye, Yan Shiting turned his head and looked at him: "Awake?"
Yu Li tugged the blanket, relieved that the worrying scenario didn't happen.
He quietly let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "En. That, how did I end up on the bed?"
Yan Shiting's voice was also hoarse, "The temperature at sea was low, and there was a strong wind. You were sleeping on the floor and might catch a cold."
Yu Li felt a bit embarrassed, it was his own oversight, and he was just imagining things when he first woke up.
He got out of bed and caught sight of the blanket on Yan Shiting's body, suddenly understanding that the other had slept on the sofa last night.
But Yan Shiting was still sick.
Yu Li paused and said, "elder brother Yan, you could have woken me up and let me sleep on the sofa."
Yan Shiting turned his head without saying anything, then coughed sharply again.
Regardless of other things, since Yu Li had taken care of him for most of the night, there was no way Yan Shiting could have let Yu Li sleep on the sofa because of this.
Looking at Yan Shiting's expression, Yu Li more or less understood.
He pressed his lips tightly, thinking about Yan Shiting's hoarse voice, and felt in his pants pocket for the throat lozenges.
He walked up to Yan Shiting and held out the box of lozenges, "elder brother Yan, have some of these first to soothe your throat, I'll go call the doctor."
Without waiting for Yan Shiting's reaction, he simply stuffed the box of lozenges into his hand.
Yan Shiting didn't react in time, and it was only after Yu Li's figure disappeared out the door that he lowered his gaze to look at the throat lozenges in his hand.
Yan Shiting: "..."
After the doctor came and did a simple checkup on Yan Shiting, he prescribed some cough and anti-inflammatory medication.
After washing up and having breakfast, Yan Shiting took the medicine, but the coughing still didn't stop, and even seemed to be getting worse.
Yu Li listened from the side, his gaze unconsciously becoming somewhat worried.
Yan Shiting looked at him and said with pursed lips, "You go back and pack your things, we'll go back together later."
Yu Li knew he couldn't be of much help here, so he could only nod.
Fortunately, the cruise ship was already on its way back to Y City.
Yu Li went back to the employee dormitory to pack his backpack and return his uniform.
After the ship docked, he followed Yan Shiting onto the Yan family's car.
Back in the manor, hearing Yan Shiting's coughing, Butler He hurriedly called for Dr. Xu to come over.
Dr. Xu, carrying a medical kit, just walked in and saw Yu Li in the living room, blinking in slight surprise.
"Ah, it's you."
The other protagonist of the night when he drew blood.
Dr. Xu was a bit curious, wondering why Yu Li would be here, could it be that after that night, the two had ended up together by chance?
Yu Li blinked, his gaze rather puzzled.
This was the first time he had seen this Dr. Xu, so why did Dr. Xu seem to recognize him?
Beside him, Butler He said with a slight urgency, "Master Yan is still sick, Dr. Xu, you should go check on him first."
"Oh, oh." Dr. Xu came back to his senses and followed Butler He upstairs. "Master Yan hasn't been sick for several years, right? His health is usually very good, what's wrong this time?"
Butler He sighed, "Master Yan has been working late into the night these past few days, the other night he fell asleep in the study, with the air conditioning on the whole time, and woke up with a slight fever..."
Yu Li retracted his gaze, thinking that Dr. Xu must have mistaken him for someone else.
Tomorrow was the start of the new semester, Yu Li went back to his room to pack his things.
It wasn't much, just some clothes and daily necessities, and he quickly got it all organized.
On the bedside table were the books he usually read, all of which he had taken from the study at the Yan residence and finished reading.
Yu Li packed them up, preparing to put them back in the study, but accidentally knocked over a notebook.
He crouched down to pick it up, and in the gap between the bed and the cabinet, he also spotted a tube of ointment.
Yu Li picked it up as well.
The blue and white outer shell was very new, with no indication of its effects, only some ingredients and a production date three months ago.
And the ointment was obviously more than half used up.
Yu Li frowned.
Ointment produced three months ago... In these three months, only he had stayed in this room.
Clearly this ointment was not for his use, so how did it end up here?
Yu Li couldn't figure it out, and put the ointment in his pants pocket, planning to go find Butler He and ask, maybe it was something a cleaning maid had left behind.
Just as he walked out the door, he happened to run into Dr. Xu coming downstairs.
Yu Li thought about it and went up to greet him, "Hello, Dr. Xu."
"Hello." Dr. Xu smiled in response. "Are you staying here now?"
Yu Li instinctively nodded, "Yes."
But then he reacted that something wasn't quite right, his expression puzzled. "Dr. Xu, do you know me?"
Dr. Xu suddenly remembered that the last time he came, Yu Li was unconscious, so he naturally didn't see him.
He quickly said, "I've seen you once before, it's just that you didn't see me then."
Yu Li's doubts were dispelled.
He took out the ointment from his pocket and asked, "Dr. Xu, I wanted to ask you if you recognize what kind of medicine this is?"
Dr. Xu looked at it for a while, and a somewhat inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
He cleared his throat softly and asked in a low voice, "What medicine is this... Wouldn't it be better to ask Master Yan? Didn't he tell you about it?"
Yu Li was completely lost.
Dr. Xu was speaking the same language as him, so why couldn't he understand the meaning behind his words?
