"I really don’t know, I just felt completely weak and dizzy while sleeping in the middle of the night."
Li Xiaoli shook her head, pushing the quilt away with both hands because it was too hot, Liu ngting having dressed her in pajamas again.
"Could it be your period?"
Liu ngting thought about it and could only estimate, "At this ti, if won aren’t careful, they can easily run into trouble, like catching a cold or a fever."
"How could that be? I would know if my period had arrived."
Li Xiaoli said weakly.
"Then what is it?"
Liu ngting slowly analyzed, "Yesterday, I ate whatever you ate, so it couldn’t be food poisoning. Plus, our villa is well ventilated and insulated. It’s unlikely to suddenly catch a cold or develop a fever."
Unable to find the cause, Liu ngting got extrely angry when she saw Tang Ming had not co up yet, and burst out furiously,
"What on earth is wrong with that damn Tang Ming, coming up to the third floor so slowly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly walked toward the staircase and saw Tang Ming hesitating on the second floor, afraid to co up.
"Tang Ming, hurry up and co here. Why are you dawdling?"
Liu ngting shouted because she was concerned about Li Xiaoli’s condition.
Tang Ming had no choice but to brace himself and go upstairs, then follow Liu ngting into the bedroom.
In the room, Li Xiaoli lay groaning in her pajamas on the bed, Tang Ming took one look at her and asked, "Is she ill?"
"Yes, why else would I call you? Carry Xiaoli downstairs for ."
Liu ngting commanded, "We need to take her to the hospital to see a doctor."
As Tang Ming walked closer, he saw Li Xiaoli’s pained expression and profuse sweating. Thinking about the delay in getting to the hospital, plus the ti for registration and possible traffic jams, he knew it could lead to serious problems.
With that in mind, Tang Ming reached out to check Li Xiaoli’s pulse.
"What are you doing?"
Liu ngting saw Tang Ming touching Li Xiaoli and imdiately asked warily.
"I’m checking her pulse to figure out the cause of her condition."
Tang Ming then looked down at Li Xiaoli’s face again and touched her forehead.
"You know how to treat illness?"
Liu ngting didn’t know Tang Ming had dical skills and asked doubtfully.
"A bit. Her condition is very serious and I’m afraid taking her to the hospital might cause a delay. Let try treating her first. If it works, we won’t need to go to the hospital."
After examining Li Xiaoli carefully Tang Ming explained, "She has a severe case of acrophobia. She was horrified on the Ferris wheel yesterday, which definitely affected her. Because of her physical constitution, it was suppressed until midnight when the body’s immune system is almost resting, causing all these symptoms to flare up and result in a high fever. It’s not a big issue as long as the fever is brought down soon. However, if we waste too much ti and her high fever persists, that could indeed lead to serious problems."
"How do we bring down the fever?"
Hearing Tang Ming speaking confidently, Liu ngting stopped doubting him.
"Get an ice pack, and I’ll perform a palace-passing acupressure to suppress the invasive cold energy within her body."
Tang Ming instructed Liu ngting.
"Fine, but don’t get any funny ideas about Xiaoli!"
Liu ngting warned, then hurried downstairs to fetch an ice pack while Tang Ming searched the room for sothing. Monts later, he found a fine needle in a jewelry box, took it, and inserted it into an acupuncture point on Li Xiaoli’s head. Then, he continuously massaged two points beside her head. A few minutes later, Li Xiaoli sneezed several tis and began to vomit violently.
Tang Ming quickly grabbed a trash can and placed it in front of her. After a bout of violent vomiting, he continued to massage several points on her head until Liu ngting ca back upstairs, at which point he removed the needle from Li Xiaoli’s head.
"Ah, you used a needle on Xiaoli?"
Liu ngting, holding the ice bag, was startled and hastily asked.
"It’s fine, it’s done now. The cold evil energy inside her has been forced out by . The fever will slowly recede. With this ice pack, she should be back to normal in no more than an hour."
Tang Ming took the ice pack from Liu ngting and placed it directly on Li Xiaoli’s forehead.
Liu ngting walked over to Li Xiaoli, imdiately slled sothing foul, looked down at the trash can, quickly pinched her nose, covered the can, and kicked it out of the room. After taking a few deep breaths, she went to Li Xiaoli’s side, touched her forehead, and indeed, it was much cooler, and the fever had begun to subsided.
"Xiaoli, are you feeling better?"
Liu ngting pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat from Li Xiaoli’s forehead and asked with concern.
"ng ng sister, I’m feeling much better, thanks to Tang Ming’s treatnt. I really didn’t realize he knew how to treat sickness."
Li Xiaoli was still weak, but she was already clear-headed enough to speak.
"Not just you, I didn’t know he had this special ability either,"
Liu ngting pursed her lips.
"I’ll head down first then."
Tang Ming turned to leave, as he had just seen a pink piece of cloth near the bed, feeling particularly embarrassed. It’s best not to stay long in a girl’s bedroom.
Li Xiaoli wanted to say sothing, but thought better of it since it was Liu ngting’s bedroom and indeed not too appropriate.
Watching Tang Ming leave, Liu ngting quickly covered Li Xiaoli with a quilt, but then noticed sothing at the bedside — it was the lingerie she had changed out of last night.
"Didn’t I rember putting it in the laundry basket? Why is it still here?"
Liu ngting couldn’t recall the details from her bath last night; maybe she had forgotten?
But then her face changed suddenly. Tang Ming had rushed out, his face also flushed. Had he seen her lingerie?
Thinking this, Liu ngting’s face also reddened. Normally, her bedroom was her private territory, strictly no n allowed, and she had been careless. This ergency had led her to call Tang Ming up, and unfortunately, so of her private items had been exposed.
"How embarrassing."
With flushed face, Liu ngting grabbed the lingerie and threw it into the washing machine.
Though Li Xiaoli was still weak, she felt a lot better and couldn’t help but laugh seeing Liu ngting’s upset movents, "ng ng sister, did Tang Ming see your lingerie?"
"It’s all your fault, making lose face like this."
Liu ngting said with a blushing face.
"What’s there to worry about, it’s just a bra. If he saw the ones I usually wear, now that would be truly embarrassing,"
Li Xiaoli said, giggling.
Liu ngting knew Li Xiaoli was bold and had lots of risqué lingerie, so even like wearing almost nothing but a bikini!
But the girl didn’t even have a boyfriend, leaving Liu ngting to wonder what she was up to.
