can you stop thinking about it

Ruan Yu didn't dare to struggle anymore, and didn't know how to ask.

His intuition told him that this matter should not be opened indiscriminately, if he made a mistake in wording, it would make Gu Xiuhan as embarrassed as Qin Yue was that day.

So do others.

He didn't want Gu Xiuhan to do that.

Ruan Yu muttered for a long time, suffocated by all the questions, but in the end she still had a red face like a beetroot, and was hugged back by Gu Xiuhan obediently.

It's almost a lifetime of emotional intelligence used on this road.

After finally getting to the place, Ruan Yu slithered into the blanket like a fish as soon as he touched the bed, quickly arched into a self-closing little round bun, closed his eyes and covered his ears, not listening or looking.

Without knowing it, Gu Xiuhan went in, took off his coat, rolled up his cuffs, went to the bathroom to get a face towel, tapped the small round bag with his knuckles like knocking on the door, and said softly, "Come out and wipe your face."

It's okay to be too lazy to change clothes, at least make-up should be wiped off.

"Um……"

Ruan Yu slowly poked out from above the quilt, his pupils were as bright as water, as if he had been bullied.

Gu Xiuhan thought he had this expression because of his fever and discomfort, so he used a face towel dipped in skin cleansing liquid to remove his makeup.As a result, as soon as his hand reached out, Ruan Yu grabbed the corner of the face towel first, lowered his eyelashes, and said in a low voice, "I can just wipe it myself."

At first glance, it seems that he is mature and sensible, knowing that it is not good to let others wipe his face for him.

Gu Xiuhan paused, said "Yes", and got up to look for medicine.

Mermaid medicines are different from human beings. The small medicine box that Ruan Yu brought to Energy Star contains special medicines for mermaids produced by the research institute. There are several kinds of mermaid medicines that can relieve the symptoms of courtship fever. The efficacy is different, so you should choose according to the actual situation.

Gu Xiuhan first took Ruan Yu's temperature, but it was just at the critical point of high fever.

Concern leads to chaos. Admiral Gu, who has always been vigorous and resolute on the battlefield, was rarely able to make up his mind. He hesitated for a while and asked softly, "Are your hands and feet cold?"

Taking care of Ruan Yu for so many years, he has accumulated some experience.

If the hands and feet are cold when you have a fever, it means that the body temperature will continue to rise, and you need to pay special attention to it in the next few hours, otherwise the temperature has reached its peak, and the problem is not big.

"Hmm..." Ruan Yu said absently and perfunctorily, "It seems a little bit."

Seeing him in a daze, Gu Xiuhan could only squeeze his fingers.

Soft and slippery, like pinching the tender tips of a few spring bamboo shoots.

And as cold as icicles.

Before Gu Xiuhan let go, Ruan Yu withdrew his hand in response.

He was just afraid, afraid that the signal would spread too well, causing him to hear strange heart sounds again.

But this little action is a bit abnormal, and it will inevitably be interpreted as disgust and disgust.

Gu Xiuhan paused with his hands hanging in the air, glanced quietly at Ruan Yu, and slowly lowered his head to unpack the medicine box, his tone unrecognizable: "The body temperature is going to rise, so eat this first."

"En." Ruan Yu muffled.

Gu Xiuhan held the corner of the opened medicine box and handed it over, calmly ordered: "Three pills."

After finishing speaking, he set reminders for taking several other medicines, pulled a single sofa and sat aside, turned on his brain and prepared to handle some trivial business here.

Every time Ruan Yu got sick, he would stand by and take care of him personally.

Ruan Yu was not able to adapt to the natural environment of the Capital Star when she was a cub, so she was extremely fragile, and she had a lot of illnesses after careful calculation.

One of the most dangerous times was that the mermaid's immune system could not cope with a pathogen that was not a serious problem to humans, resulting in a high fever for several days.The senior researchers under Shen Jingya were struggling to find countermeasures, and little Ruan Yu was also transferred to the special care ward in the research institute.

The cub, which was as soft and weak as dough, was glowing red from the heat, and its little tail, which was always pompous and curled up, drooped down, lying flat in the medical cabin.

A round of medicine mist treatment is over, and the medical cabin is opened.

Gu Xiuhan, a young man, reached in with his hand wearing sterile protective gloves, stroked the round head of the little fish cub, and comforted him silently.

Little Ruan Yu didn't move at all, she had been lying on her side since the beginning of the medicine mist treatment, she stubbornly maintained the state of facing Gu Xiuhan with the little fish's buttocks, and looked full of confusion.

Gu Xiuhan was inexplicably worried and wanted to see his face, so he turned to the other end of the medical cabin.

Little Ruan Yu struggled to wriggle her short fish tail, "paji" turned over, and resolutely kept her back turned.

He was already weak from the fever, Gu Xiuhan didn't dare to toss him to turn over, he stood in a stalemate for a long while, still uneasy, he simply reached into the medical cabin, gently fished out the scalding little fish cub and carried it into the hospital. arms.

"Ugh..."

Little Ruan Yu finally groaned softly.

Gu Xiuhan took a closer look, and saw that the round face was wet with tears. He turned the pillow again, and there was a bunch of shiny pearls hidden under it. It was obvious that he had been crying quietly for a long time.

It's such a small one, but the teardrops are bigger than the other, and it won't hurt your head if you stuff it under the pillow.

The cub, which is usually delicate and difficult to feed, will be sluggish and lose energy when the constant temperature artificial lake fluctuates by 0.1 ℃. Now that it is burned like this, it is so uncomfortable that it keeps crying. Gu Xiuhan can't imagine how much he is suffering.

A heart is as bitter as soaked in lemon juice.

Gu Xiuhan supported little Ruan Yu firmly with his arms, let the little head rest on his shoulder, walked back and forth, trying to lull him to sleep.

After all, you don't know how uncomfortable you are when you fall asleep.

Sensing Gu Xiuhan's anxious heartbeat that was on the verge of losing control, little Ruan Yu wiped her wet face with tears and snot with her fat webbed hands, because she was a clean-loving cub who was dying to use Gu Xiuhan's hand. Xiuhan wiped his hands in the protective clothing, and then comforted him in a low voice: "Brother...Ruan Ruan is not feeling bad."

The tone is rustling, and the small airflow exhaled is like burning coals.

It should be that the inflammation of the throat is too severe, Gu Xiuhan can even smell a faint wisp of blood.

How could it not be uncomfortable.

And I was crying like this...why do you still think about comforting others?

Gu Xiuhan gritted his teeth, his jawline slowly tightened.

"No, no." Little Ruan Yu tried her best to organize her words to refute, raised her little hand, and weakly rubbed Gu Xiuhan's forehead with bulging veins, and finally couldn't hold back when she opened her mouth again. The sound was stained with a waxy cry again, and two packs of half-formed pearls rolled down the face with tears, "I'm afraid that my brother will be sad, that my brother will hurt here... woo..."

Gu Xiuhan was stunned for a long time before he understood.

Little Ruan Yu thought that the illness could not be cured this time, and she was going to die.

He was not thinking wildly, but read the fear in Gu Xiuhan's heart.

If he died, Gu Xiuhan would be very, very sad, he could feel it.

Moreover, if he died, he would no longer be able to help Gu Xiuhan relieve the severe headache that would make people lose the will to survive when his mental power exploded.

That's why he said that.

Crying like this is more because of worrying about Gu Xiuhan.

Probably because she was born with a powerful spiritual healing ability and should have played the social role of "healer" in her own group, Ruan Yu can easily empathize with other living beings, especially important relatives who are closely related.

This is an important part of the reason why Gu Xiuhan's spiritual healing works so well.

Ruan Yu will mourn what he mourns, and pain what he hurts.

Gu Xiuhan will always remember the feeling of being healed by Ruan Yu.

Be understood, tolerated, and comforted.

Like the melting of a glacier, the flexible shoots arch through the frozen soil, and the thin and thin roots scratch the apex of the heart, crisp and itchy, and the heart is filled with a sweet, warm and innocent atmosphere.

Ruan Yu regarded the desolate wasteland in his spiritual world as his own small world, and planted flowers on it with two small hands, clumsily and slowly.

……

As the medicine took effect, Ruan Yu's thinking became more and more sluggish, and he fell asleep while thinking about the strange mental body in Gu Xiuhan's head.

He had a very long dream.

In the dream, he returned to the ocean of his parent star, floating with the waves in the gentle azure water, his consciousness was chaotic and comfortable, and the boundaries of himself gradually disappeared, like a drop of water quietly melting into the sea.

I don't know how long this dream lasted. Ruan Yu had the illusion that he was melting into sea water and then condensing into shapes from the sea water.

All the substances in the body seem to be changing and alternating with the changes of the spirit, tending to maturity and perfection.

I don't know if all fish will experience such a wonderful experience during courtship fever.

Returning to his hometown in a dream, Ruan Yu was a little reluctant to wake up.

But during this period, he was still called up several times intermittently, his eyelids were half-opened and half-closed, and Gu Xiuhan was fed and taken medicine as if he was sleepwalking.

The body heat keeps rising, the sore throat gets worse and the pills become less palatable from not being comforted by a suitable mate.

"It hurts..." a weak complaint.

Ruan Yu rubbed his Adam's apple with his fingers, pushed away the water glass, and refused to take medicine obediently.

Gu Xiuhan frowned slightly, but he didn't force it, he just said in a deep voice, "Open your mouth."

He had to check to see how inflamed Ruan Yu's throat was.

Ruan Yu was still half asleep and half awake, and opened his mouth obediently when he heard the words.

Gu Xiuhan lowered his eyes and looked in.

In just a few hours, the area around the throat was already swollen red, no wonder the pain was so painful that he refused to swallow the medicine.

He saw clearly, but didn't let Ruan Yu close his mouth immediately.

There was a riddle-like silence in the air, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And at this moment, a scene suddenly broke into Ruan Yu's consciousness——

It was himself with his mouth open.

With a flushed slapped face, he tried his best to look up, acting silly.

Behind the two rows of small pearl-like white teeth, the soft red flesh in the mouth was soaked in body fluid.

……

It was very short, lasting less than a second.

Ruan Yu knew what it was, it was a picture-like EEG signal that a mermaid would only receive when the spirits of other organisms were highly coordinated...

Or when encountering low-level creatures whose minds are particularly easy to read.

The picture in Gu Xiuhan's mind will be read by accident, probably due to the improvement of consciousness brought about by the courtship fever.

Ruan Yu woke up from the dazed state at once.

EEG signals can be strong enough to form a picture, requiring the organism to be in a state of concentration or strong emotion.

In other words... Gu Xiuhan was observing his mouth very carefully.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. It was he himself who complained that his throat hurt first.

If Gu Xiuhan didn't look at it carefully, did he want to look at it carelessly?

Ruan Yu himself also felt that he was baffled.

but……

Ruan Yu quickly turned away from her hot face, and hurriedly closed her mouth, her bulging lips were deformed.

"Why did you watch it for so long?" Ruan Yu didn't dare to tell the truth, his eyes drifted away, and he complained with little confidence, "My face is sore..."
