Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Falling Ill with Honor

Jhiang Yuan slept until eight o’clock at night.

Qin Yue came to wake her up to eat, still groggy, feeling even worse.

"What time is it, Mom?"

"It’s eight o’clock. Listen to your voice, it’s changed. Does it feel terrible?"

It was indeed terrible; her throat felt as if she had swallowed razor blades.

Her limbs were weak, her whole body ached, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Qin Yue came over and felt her forehead, somewhat surprised, "You had just recovered from the fever, but now it’s hot again, this back and forth is really torturous.

"Daughter, first take your temperature, eat something later, and then take your medicine."

"Okay!"

Jhiang Yuan obediently went to take her temperature, and Qin Yue brought over a thick pajama and draped it over her.

For dinner, it was plain congee and light dishes.

Mom always said, when sick, one should eat lightly.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t have much appetite, ate a little, and then wanted to go back to sleep.

After knowing that everyone had come over to ask about her condition, she just responded with a faint "Hmm."

Among them, Song Yi was particularly worried.

He had delivered medicine twice and fruits once.

It was two apples, previously bought, and they were a bit wrinkled now.

Qin Yue didn’t accept them, feeling the gift was too precious.

But he insisted on leaving them, and not wanting to disturb Jhiang Yuan, she didn’t say anything more.

At night, Jhiang Yuan returned to her room, and Qin Yue took Xiao Nuan to sleep in the next room.

She was truly suffering and didn’t manage much else.

At night, Mom came to check on her twice and gave her another dose of medicine.

Assured there was no relapse, she felt relieved.

Although the fever had subsided, Jhiang Yuan’s condition hadn’t improved.

Her throat hurt so much, even swallowing saliva was painful.

Runny nose, hoarse voice, coughing, and even phlegm.

She felt like she was about to lose her breath; she had never been this sick before.

Jhiang Xingzhi was worried that it was a respiratory problem that could lead to pneumonia, which would be troublesome.

Fortunately, although uncomfortable, her spirits had somewhat improved.

This sleep had indeed made her less tired.

Qin Yue cooked her some small wonton soup, and having a bowl of it was truly comforting.

However, she had no appetite, eating only to take medicine.

Song Yi had come knocking early in the morning, and Jhiang Xingzhi let him in.

This was his first time in room 2101, he didn’t bother to look around, and immediately asked about Jhiang Yuan’s condition.

The concern in his eyes was genuine.

"It’s nothing serious, probably just a cold, some medicine should do the trick."

"Okay, that’s good. I have plenty of medicine at home, feel free to use it, and come to me if you need more."

Uh, that statement sounded a bit awkward!

"Okay, don’t worry about it!"

Not knowing what else to say, he stayed for a few minutes and then left.

He advised her to rest well, and Jhiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

"By the way, daughter, this is what Song Yi brought over yesterday.

Take a look, how should we deal with it?"

It was those seeds, the things they had risked their lives to trade for.

"Give them to me!"

Jhiang Yuan said, took them, and then, using the excuse of going back to sleep, she took them into her room.

Qin Yue brought her hot water and medicine, watching until she had taken them before leaving.

Taking the opportunity when her mom wasn’t looking, she quickly went to the bathroom and then slipped into the space.

Inside, it was very warm, and she felt much better.

Thinking of that well water, she went and boiled herself a kettle.

"Originally, with a sore throat like this, you need to drink more water; hopefully, it will help," he had said.

Jhiang Yuan looked at the seeds that were brought over, only corn and rice.

The patch of ground they had dug previously wasn’t large, so they decided to start with the corn.

They also had to use a rake to make furrows, then plant the seeds and water them.

She hadn’t had much strength to begin with, and after all that work, she surprisingly broke out in a sweat.

But she had to admit, it did make her feel much better.

The remaining rice seeds were then placed in a large bowl and soaked in water.

Having done all this, she planned to take a nap in the space.

Suddenly, she heard the door open and quickly went out.

It was indeed Qin Yue coming over to check if she still had a fever.

"Sweating it out is good for you. Sweetheart, go change your clothes quickly so you don’t catch a cold again," she said.

"Okay..."

It was a false alarm, but she didn’t dare to take it lightly.

"By the way, two young girls from downstairs came to see you. They are in the living room."

"Okay, Mom, you go ahead. I’ll come out after I change," she replied.

Ye Mianmian was really worried about her, and Zhang Kaiyang thought it might not be convenient for him to come over, so he sent Fan Qing instead.

"Sister Yuan, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, I had a nap, and I feel much better."

"Oh dear, your throat is like this. Did you catch a cold from the sudden change in temperature?

I felt unwell yesterday too, having walked in the snow for too long," he moaned.

Ye Mianmian also complained, and Jhiang Yuan offered some token concern.

"Yes, you should take medicine quickly. How are you now?"

"I’m fine, you see, I’m full of life!"

"By the way, yesterday we saw Fan Yao and the person from 1202 together downstairs. Did you know about this?"

Fan Qing nodded, as Zhang Kaiyang had already told her about it yesterday.

"Not to hide it from you, but Fan Yao is probably going to break up with Li Tianyu," she disclosed.

"What happened?"

In a setting devoid of any entertainment, three women began their little drama.

A passion for gossip flared up fiercely.

"The night before last, when you guys weren’t around, Li Tianyu came up here looking for Fan Yao."

"Are you implying that she didn’t come home that night?"

Ye Mianmian was quite excited; this gossip was juicy.

"I don’t know, but it was after nine back then; whether she returned later or not, I’m unsure."

"Damn, she really knows her ways!"

"But, from what I saw, she seemed to be quite close with one of them.

It didn’t look forced at all; maybe it’s a real relationship," she speculated.

Jhiang Yuan expressed her doubts. The first time she’d heard her voice on the twelfth floor, she had thought she was forced into a desperate situation selling herself out.

But after these two encounters, it was clearly not the case.

"Who knows, she’s always been good at assessing situations. Being with people from the twelfth floor must be more comfortable than being with Li Tianyu.

Plus, she probably didn’t like him that much; it was more about making me miserable," she conjectured.

Listening to her, Jhiang Yuan’s mind was racing.

After a long thought, she finally voiced her question: "Um, Qingqing, about Li Tianyu..."

Her hesitation made it instantly clear to Fan Qing.

"Sister Yuan, what are you talking about? Maybe I liked him before.

But after what he did, expecting me to forgive him is absolutely impossible," she stated definitively.

Hearing this, Ye Mianmian also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s the right way to think about it. Look at Kaiyang, that boy is so devoted to you without flirting around.

And he looks better than Li Tianyu too; you really should treasure him," she advised.

Fan Qing nodded, indicating she understood.

"Sister Mianmian, the way you talk, I thought you liked Zhang Kaiyang! Haha, just joking, don’t mind me..."
