Comparable species

Because it had just rained, the humid air was blowing in from the open aisle window with a chill in it, Qi Yan shivered holding the shopping bag.

"I went back to see grandma today." Qi Yan avoided Xia Shishen's staring gaze, and continued, "And I've asked for leave..."

"According to the signed contract, I'm your direct supervisor." Xia Shishen's tone was calm, with a businesslike look.

"You ask for leave, I have the right to know in advance."

Qi Yan had never carefully read the contract signed with Nansheng, and when he heard Xia Shishen's words without emotion, he just lowered his head and nodded in agreement from time to time.The sound stopped suddenly, Qi Yan raised his head in confusion, his head was suddenly covered with something.The hoodie that Xia Shishen was originally wearing was put on him. It was wide and reassuring.

"You're wearing too little." Xia Shi frowned deeply, because of the action of undressing just now, the hair on the top of his head was raised in a tuft, but Xia Shi didn't notice it.

As if he was afraid that Qi Yan would think too much, after Xia Shishen finished speaking, he turned his head and stopped looking at him.

His body was warm, Qi Yan didn't know where the courage came from, he tightly hugged the bag in his arms, and asked softly: "Are you waiting for me?"

"No." Xia Shishen answered quickly, and he denied it before Qi Yan's last word landed.

Qi Yan didn't know how to answer, he smiled, and then said: "Then I will go back first, and I will send you the clothes tomorrow..."

"Suddenly remembered." Xia Shishen interrupted him calmly, he leaned against the wall and turned his head, "The grapefruit tea you made last time was okay."

"How do you do it?"

"...Ah, that." Qi Yan took the bag out of the sweater he had just put on, and said, "Put the jam in the cup first, and then rinse it with warm water. It's very simple."

Xia Shishen nodded, and asked again after a few seconds: "How much temperature is the warm water?"

Qi Yan blinked twice, before he could figure out how to answer, Xia Shishen asked again, "How much jam should I put in?"

Qi Yan couldn't answer, he couldn't get the temperature of the water and the weight of the jam accurate to numbers, but Xia Shishen seemed to be reluctant, staring at him with dark eyes.

"Then... otherwise, I'll make a cup for you to see?"

Qi Yan was ready to be rejected by Xia Shishen, but Xia Shishen just reached out and took the bag in his arms, looked at him as if after careful consideration, and said, "That's the only way. "

So Qi Yan came to Xia Shishen's room for the second time. He put the bag at the door, from opening the lid of the jam, to warm water, adding cold water, stirring, and slowed down every step.

When he turned around with the water glass in his hand, Xia Shi leaned on the sofa with his eyes deeply closed, looking as if he had fallen asleep.

Qi Yan stood for a while holding the prepared honey citron tea, put down the cup, took off his sweater lightly, and hung it on the back of the chair next to him.

Although he tried his best to keep his movements light, Xia Shishen was still woken up.

"I seem to have a fever." Xia Shishen's voice was a little hoarse, with a faint nasal sound.

The hand on the doorknob paused, Qi Yan turned and walked over, looked at Xia Shishen who was sitting on the sofa expressionlessly, thought for a while and asked, "Is there a thermometer?"

"No." Xia Shishen replied dryly, followed by a violent cough.

It looked really serious, Qi Yan frowned and sat down on the sofa. He looked at Xia Shi's deep and drooping eyelids, and after thinking about it, he put the back of his hand on Xia Shi's deep forehead.

Qi Yan minimized the skin contact area between the two of them, but when the back of his hand touched Xia Shishen's forehead, he was still startled by the scalding heat.Xia Shishen raised his eyes to look at him, because of the fever, the slender folds on the eyelids were deeper than usual.

"Did you catch a cold while taking off your clothes in the corridor?" Qi Yan put down his hands worriedly.

"What do you think?" Xia Shishen's tone was flat, he looked at Qi Yan indifferently, his neck was unnaturally red, and his breath was burning hot.

Qi Yan lowered his head and said nothing, Xia Shishen coughed twice, trying to sit up from the sofa to get a water glass, but he couldn't reach it after reaching out twice.

Qi Yan quickly reached for the water glass, the glass was cold.

"I'll go boil water for you." Qi Yan turned to boil water, Xia Shishen coughed several times on the sofa, which sounded serious.

"Do you have a medicine box or something here?" The kettle has started to work, and the sound of gurgling spreads throughout the room. Qi Yan watched Xia Shishen seem to grow from a long life to a hundred years old in just ten minutes. All of a sudden it became hopeless.

Xia Shi lowered his head and nestled in the corner of the sofa. Hearing Qi Yan's words, he raised his eyelids with some effort, and his usual sharp eyebrows became loose.He squinted his eyes, and refocused his eyes on Qi Yan, who had his back turned to him.

It's like a camera with a problem with shooting parameters. From the sky to the ground, everything is blurred without boundaries, only the thin back, which is clear and unreasonable.

Qi Yan tiptoed to open the top cabinet door with some difficulty, and a corner of the medicine box wrapped in a plastic bag was exposed. Qi Yan stretched his arms and tried to reach it, but his fingertips barely brushed past it.After trying a few times but still not being able to reach it, Qi Yan wondered if he should take a stool and step on it.

His body was suddenly surrounded by a burst of heat, Qi Yan turned sideways, and his cheek gently brushed the man's thin chin.Xia Shishen stood behind him for some unknown reason, and stretched out his arms around Qi Yan's body to get the medicine in the cabinet. Qi Yan was caught between Xia Shishen and the marble tabletop, and he didn't dare to move.

It was too close, so close that the tip of his nose touched Xia Shishen's chest, and the hand on the table touched his waist lightly, his heartbeat was like tinnitus, out of control.Xia Shishen held the medicine box in his hand, but he didn't step back. He lowered his eyelids and asked softly, "Is this it?"

The scorching breath sprayed on Qi Yan's eyelids, and he blinked his eyes many times in a row. Xia Shishen's voice was close to his ears, and the air seemed thick.

Qi Yan nodded.

Xia Shi let out a deep moan, put the medicine box in his hand on the table, and stared at him for a long time.

"Little dwarf."

Out of the corner of his eye, Qi Yan felt that Xia Shishen smiled, but when he looked up, Xia Shishen had already got up from him, with his back turned to him, and walked slowly towards the sofa.

Qi Yan paused for several seconds before pinching the medicine box in his sweaty palm.
