Twenty-Eight Degrees Part 1

Content Summary: Celebrating the New Year

By the time Shi Yun had a break, it was already December. It sounded like it had been a month, but in fact it was only two-three days later.

The cold wave brought heavy snow, and the delivery of the coat and stockings Shi Yun bought were delayed. Shi Yun also did not receive her gift because the gifts he bought were also delayed due to heavy snow.

Of course, this cold wave also caused Wei Congying to catch a cold. The clothes he wore that day were thin and he had also stood in the wind for a while. After returning home, he started to develop tonsillitis.

He was lying on the sofa with a thermometer in his mouth and was extremely bored.

Shi Yun sat on the other side of the sofa and read a collection of love poems for a while, then picked up her phone on the coffee table and patted the person lying on the sofa: “Okay, open your mouth.”

Shi Yun took out the thermometer from his mouth and checked the temperature: “You have a fever.”

After sterilizing the thermometer, she stored it in a plastic tube.

She brought a lot of medicine and found capsules and granules from the drugstore’s shopping bag. She told him to get up and take medicine in a tone of “Da Lang, it’s time to take your medicine.”¹[] Though the words seem caring, in actuality, it is used as a joke to express one’s dissatisfaction with the other party. It originates from “Outlaws of the Marsh” by Shi Nai’an in a phrase spoken by Pan Jinlian.

“You have a fever, and it’s a retroflex consonant²[] In Mandarin, there are consonants that are pronounced with a curled tongue, such as zhi, chi, shi. In english the “r” sound is also pronounced with a curled tongue., not an alveolar consonant³[] Also in Mandarin, there are consonants such as zi, ci, si, which are pronounced with the tongue against or close to the alveolar ridge. The alveolar ridge is the bony ridge or raised thickened border of the upper or lower jaw that contains the sockets of the teeth. Source: Wikipedia.” Shi Yun glared at him, and then took the cup from which he drank medicine to the kitchen.

After finishing these tasks, Shi Yun sat down on the other side of the sofa again and opened the poetry book she had finished reading half of.

Wei Congying was puzzled as to why Shi Yun always read poetry collections. Although the words in the poetry collection were indeed beautiful, because of the style and the number of words, every word and sentence was refined to its ultimate perfection before being written.

“Do you like poetry collections?”

The reader paused while flipping the page: “They’re not bad.”

Wei Congying was weak because of a fever. He originally slept in the bedroom, but because Shi Yun wanted to read in the living room, he followed her over.

The sofa was a bit uncomfortable for a tall man like him. He stuck out his feet from the quilt. Like a childish boy, Wei Congying kicked Shi Yun’s leg, making it so she was unable to read in peace.

Shi Yun held down his calf and hit his foot several times with the book.

The fever made his eyes red and his tear ducts were stimulated. His eyes were filled with tears and seemed close to overflowing.

Shi Yun put down the book and moved next to him: “Then should I talk to you? What? Let’s talk about prostatitis, which is more common in men?”

Wei Congying closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side, giving off an amusing look of being tired of learning.

Shi Yun: “When you were playing with the car and talking about technical issues with Cheng Ge, why didn’t you feel tired of learning?”

“You are just talking about medicine, but you should also talk about something that interests me.” Wei Congying opened his eyes, but seeing that she was a little close to him, and fearing that the cold would infect her, Wei Congying simply turned his head further.

“What are you interested in?” Shi Yun snorted, “Female characteristics?”

“When I was making love with you, I was a little obsessed with your chest. But that was toward you, not toward that physical feature.” Wei Congying debated for a bit before asking her to sit on the sofa to prevent his cold from spreading to her.

Shi Yun ignored him and was surprised by what he just said.

When Wei Congying saw that she was motionless beside him, he called her again.

Shi Yun stood up and then sat astride him: “Your whole body is so hot. Is it hot there too?”

“Have some morals.” Wei Congying wrapped the quilt a little tighter, “Read a book. There are many poetry collections on my bookshelf. Take your time read them. I’m going to sleep.”

However, Wei Congying was in good physical condition, and his fever subsided in the evening.

The next day he was full of energy. In the morning when he sent Shi Yun to the hospital, he was the one who got up first and pulled her out of bed.

Shi Yun sat in the passenger seat and yawned. He bought a sandwich and hot coffee: “I will be busy for a while.”

It didn’t matter to Shi Yun whether he was busy or not, because she was very busy.

Every year, there were always a few interns who were scolded for the medical records they wrote. Shi Yuan was one of them this year. Shi Yun managed to escaped this time.

Shi Yuan was still crying when they returned to the duty room. Anyone out of the loop would have thought Shi Yun had bullied her.

In the end, she couldn’t hold up under the gazes of . Shi Yun patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: “Go back and revise it. The director is just that kind of person.”

“It’s not you who’s being scolded.” Shi Yuan dodged, letting Shi Yun’s hand fall away.

Since she had such an attitude, Shi Yun didn’t bother to comfort her.

Shi Yun herself was exhausted from doing clinical work during the day and laboratory work at night every day.

But just after taking a few steps, Shi Yun heard someone calling her from behind.

The voice sounded a little weak.

Shi Yun turned around and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair. A hospital gown that didn’t look too large was worn on a skinny body. He was wearing a beanie and an oxygen tube under his nose.

He looked like a scarecrow in a rice field.

Seeing Shi Yun’s stunned expression, he knew that he had not recognized the wrong person.

He waved towards Shi Yun: “Long time no see.”

Shi Yun looked at the face that was so pale that was almost bloodless, and was stunned for a moment, a little unsure, because he was so thin that he looked out of shape: “Zhuo Hui?”

The man nodded: “It’s me.”

…

The Second Hospital of the Capital put a lot of thought into its renovation, and she didn’t know if the green environment of the hospital was included in the hospital selection. In short, the green scenery of the Second Hospital is very plentiful.

But winter was a season when plants were scarce, and there were few plants to appreciate in the entire hospital.
