Chase And Run [Wenzhou]

part 6 - high fever

"done." Wen kexing turned off the screen, closed his laptop and looked up to zhou zishu, who had already rested his head on the table since he had finished his work a while ago, only waiting for wen kexing to finish his part.

Wen kexing was quite impressed that this man kept his words that he won't bother him with all the flirting when they were doing the assignment. That made the works they need to submitted in another week had already finished within less than two weeks.

"Zhou zishu..." He called his name slowly.

Zhou zishu raised his head, looking at him while opening only half of his eyes. "why?"

"I finished my work, let's go."

Without any words, zhou zishu got up. He put his stuff into his bag and quietly walked to the door, leaving wen kexing speechless on his seat.

That was strange, really. There was not a single day that zhou zishu didn't tease or flirt with him after they finished doing their work, even when zhou zishu was sleeping while walking back.

When he thought about it, zhou zishu looked quite different today. The man was always smiling and bright in his expression. But this time, he looked like he was so tired, even the smile he shows was forced. His face was also pale, not like the same shade of pink wen kexing always saw everytime he met him.

"Is he sick?"

Getting worried, wen kexing followed him from behind quietly. He could confirm his guess by the man's walk that was frail and slow, his body staggered all the way to the side road.

Wen kexing was getting anxious when he saw zhou zishu walked to the road without looking around first, trying to cross the road when the car were still moving. He immediately rushed towards zhou zishu.

Zhou zishu was on verge of collapsing when suddenly a strong hand pulled him backwards, making him surprised a little. He tilted his head to look at the man.

"Han ying."

"Zishu, are you okay?"

Wen kexing's steps halted as he saw someone had already helped him. He sighed in relief, really grateful that nothing bad happened to zhou zishu. But his heart was reacting differently. For some reason, it irked him seeing zhou zishu was in that man's embrace. They were talking and smiling, so they must already knew each other.

His mind was clouded by the unknown emotion when he walked towards them, pulling zhou zishu closer to him. Zhou zishu looked at him, eyelid fluttering in confusion, making wen kexing's heart suddenly beating so fast yet feeling so calm with his anger disappearing.

"A-shu. Let me take you back." Fuck, why would I do this? A-shu? Fuck.

"Zishu, do you know him?" Han ying asked, staring suspiciously at wen kexing.

Zhou zishu nodded his head weakly, while wen kexing did not wait any longer to quickly answer han ying's question. "Yes, he knew me. I'm his partner."

Realizing his words that made both of them looked at him strangely, he coughed up awkwardly. "I meant, assignment partner. And who are you?"

"Laowen, han ying is my friend. Han ying, I would go back first. Thank you for your help." He smiled slightly before began to walk with the help of wen kexing holding him by his shoulder towards wen kexing's car.

"Laowen? A-shu? Cute." Han ying chuckled, walking away from the spot.

"Are you not feeling well, a-shu?" Wen kexing kept glancing at zhou zishu while he was driving, worried seeing the man was massaging his own temple.

"Just a little dizzy, and headache. Yeah." His voice was hoarse, eyes closed trying to calm his throbbing head.

Wen kexing put his hand on zhou zishu's forehead, immediately flinched and widened his eyes feeling the heat as he touched the man's skin. "You have a fever! Let me take you to the hospital."

"No no, not hospital. Just take me home. I can take care of myself."

"A-shu, don't be stubborn. I don't care let's go to the hospital."

"Laowen...no..." Zhou zishu's desperate voice made his heart wavered. He sighed, finally gave up.

"Fine."

-

"A-shu, eat this first."

"A-shu, drink this "

"A-shu, take this medicine."

"A-shu, put this wet cloth on your forehead."

"A-shu."

"A-shu."

"A-shu."

"Laowen, just let me sleep in peace." Zhou zishu pulled his blanket up and closed his eyes, ignoring the non-stop nagging from wen kexing.

The man kept calling his name to make him do as he asked while he was trying to rest his head. He was beyond happy that his long life crush was taking care of him, but that was too much. He just wants to sleep!

"Fine but let me replace the wet cloth first." Wen kexing took the cloth and replaced it with the new one. "I'll go now, okay? Call me if you need anything."

"Hmm.." zhou zishu nodded, before drifting to sleep. "Thank you, laowen..."

Wen kexing smiled after seeing zhou zishu's lips perked up a genuine smile, not a forced one like before. Some unfamiliar feeling bloomed in his heart, for the first time in life, he felt so much contented and got a strange satisfaction just because of a smile.

He walked towards the door, sighing before pulling it.
