As soon as class ended, Li Xuanyu hurried over to Mo Jingchun with a drowsy Candy in her arms and a panicked expression.
"Mo Jingchun, quickly check Candy, she seems sick, her forehead feels like she has a fever."
Mo Jingchun, who was reading a book, was immediately startled.
Seeing Candy drowsy in Li Xuanyu's arms, Mo Jingchun became even more anxious.
Mo Jingchun placed one hand on Candy's forehead and the other on his own, and with this comparison, he was 100% certain that Candy had a fever.
How could this happen? She was still energetic when she got to class this morning.
Without saying a word, Mo Jingchun packed up the items on the table and put them into his backpack.
With his backpack on, Mo Jingchun took the drowsy Candy from Li Xuanyu's arms and said to her, "Please excuse me, I will take Candy to the hospital."
Without waiting for Li Xuanyu to speak, Mo Jingchun had already dashed out of the classroom with Candy.
"Brother~"
"Guoguo wants to sleep."
Mo Jingchun ran swiftly across the campus, comforting the little one.
"Candy, don't be scared, brother is here."
"Guoguo wants milk."
"Okay, you'll have some in a moment."
Usually, it took over ten minutes to get from the classroom to the gate, but this time, Mo Jingchun did it in less than five minutes.
He hailed a taxi outside the school gate and headed straight for the hospital.
Mo Jingchun had considered going to the school infirmary, but dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed his mind.
Going straight to a major hospital was the safest option.
At the hospital's reception desk, a nurse touched Candy's forehead and immediately made a preliminary judgment.
"It's probably a cold, caught a chill, just go to the general pediatric clinic."
"The temperature is rising recently, so children can easily catch colds. It's best not to suddenly undress them in the morning and evening."
Mo Jingchun took the nurse's casual advice to heart.
After registering for the clinic, Mo Jingchun followed the signs, took the escalator, and went straight to the third floor.
The hospital was crowded, even more so than supermarkets on weekends. Just taking an escalator was like squeezing through a subway transfer station.
"Doctor, please check what's wrong with Xiaobao?"
A female doctor in her thirties took Candy's temperature and then spoke to the extremely anxious Mo Jingchun: "Are you the child's father?"
"I'm the brother."
Wang Yanjun nodded and did not continue asking but directly told Mo Jingchun, "It's nothing serious, just caught a chill; the temperature is 38°, considered a low fever."
Saying that, Wang Yanjun skillfully took an ice patch from behind and placed it on the little one's forehead.
"I suggest physical cooling. I'll prescribe some ice patches for the baby to use at home."
"Also, when you get home, use a warm towel to wipe the child's body, you can also give the baby a warm bath, and after the baby feels better, give him some warm water to drink."
While writing the medical record on the computer, Wang Yanjun said to Mo Jingchun, "It's best to buy a thermometer from the pharmacy and regularly check the baby's temperature. If the baby's temperature doesn't go down, you may need to consider medication."
"Alright, after paying the fee at the first-floor cashier, you can take the receipt to the pharmacy to get the ice patches."
Following the doctor's instructions, after getting the ice patches, Mo Jingchun bought a thermometer at the pharmacy and gave Candy a warm bath when they returned to the dormitory.
Surprisingly, it worked remarkably well. After lying down for a while, the little one felt much better.
"Brother, Guoguo wants milk."
"Okay, brother will make some milk for Guoguo now."
In the kitchen, as Mo Jingchun was preparing milk for Candy, his phone rang. When he took out his phone, he saw it was the counselor calling.
It seemed class monitor Yang Xiaoyu had already contacted the counselor to excuse his absence.
"Is Candy okay?" The voice of the counselor came through as soon as the call connected.
"No, the doctor said she just caught a chill."
"That's good, don't easily undress Candy when there's nothing wrong; children's resistance isn't as strong as adults.'
"Got it, Na."
"Alright then, you take care of Candy this afternoon, and go to class tomorrow. I have something to attend to on my end, so I'll hang up now."
On the bed, Candy, who had finished her milk and wrapped in the quilt, fell asleep within three minutes of getting back under the covers.
Once the little one was asleep, throughout the afternoon, Mo Jingchun checked her temperature every half hour.
By a little past four in the afternoon, her temperature finally dropped, and even her complexion returned to normal.
It wasn't until 8:11 PM that Candy, after sleeping for half the day, woke up and opened her eyes.
Beside the bed, Mo Jingchun had fallen asleep on a chair, still wearing his clothes.
The little one rubbed her eyes and tilted her head to peer at Mo Jingchun sleeping.
Touching her flat little stomach, Candy looked at the sleeping Mo Jingchun and called out directly: "Brother~"
"Brother~"
"Hmm?" Mo Jingchun, aroused by the call, only felt sore all over, but he still got up immediately and sat by the bed.
"Guoguo, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Candy patted her empty, flat stomach and said pitifully, "Guoguo is hungry."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun immediately got up to the kitchen to make a bottle of milk.
"Guoguo, drink some milk first; brother will go heat up the food now."
Nodding the little head with an ice patch still on her forehead, Candy gulped down the milk from the bottle.
After drinking the milk and eating half a bowl of rice, Candy was full of energy. Lying on the bed, the little one squeezed in, holding Mo Jingchun's arm and sleeping horizontally on the bed.
Only then did Mo Jingchun have time to check his phone, discovering that Xu Pengfei had sent him a message shortly after 7 PM.
The personnel stationed in the county had been decided, and it was Li Wanning, the clerk who joined from the supermarket initially.
According to Xu Pengfei, the company will reimburse reasonable expenses for rent and utilities for the stationed personnel, with an additional monthly allowance of 1000 yuan until the end of the project.
On-site work can't avoid exposure to the elements; a monthly allowance of 1000 doesn't seem much.
"No problem, follow your standards; daily project reports are up to you. Forward me a copy of the weekly and monthly reports each time."
After typing the message, Mo Jingchun sent it.
It wasn't long before Xu Pengfei replied.
"Received."
After setting his phone down, Mo Jingchun and Candy both fell asleep in no time.
In the morning, the little one woke up early, and once awake, the little one couldn't stay still, crawling in and out of the covers.
Afraid that Mo Jingchun, still asleep, wouldn't wake up.
Candy successfully woke Mo Jingchun, and seeing the dawning light outside, he pulled Candy into his arms with one hand and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
