"Go in, feel free," Ji Zhaoming said.
The door opened, and Gu Yunzhou placed the documents in front of Ji Zhaoming, asking, "Do you need my help?"
Ji Zhaoming said, "Yes, yes, ouch—"
Ji Zhaoming rubbed the tip of his nose.
Because I rubbed it a lot, the tip of my nose has turned a little pink.
Gu Yunzhou paused for a moment, casually placed the documents on the table, strode over to Ji Zhaoming, half-squatted down, looked Ji Zhaoming in the eye, and asked, "Is Master unwell?"
"Probably not?" Ji Zhaoming blinked, then sneezed, his tone hesitant. "Perhaps, a bit of a cold?"
Gu Yunzhou touched Ji Zhaoming's forehead with his hand.
He was startled: "You have a fever?"
Ji Zhaoming also touched his forehead: "No, right?"
Gu Yunzhou sighed, stood up, grabbed Ji Zhaoming, and forcefully pressed him onto the bed, saying in a serious tone, "You have a fever, you need to rest."
Ji Zhaoming gave a confused "oh".
He had no idea he had a fever, and was even wondering if Gu Yunzhou had made a mistake in the test.
It wasn't until he saw the bright 39 degrees Celsius on the thermometer that he realized, in a daze, that he really did have a fever.
He was even delirious from the fever.
Gu Yunzhou took a quilt from the cupboard. The quilt was very thick, and when Ji Zhaoming covered himself with it, he even felt like he was going to be crushed by it.
Even though he was already sleeping in bed.
Ji Zhaoming turned over and saw that Gu Yunzhou was still standing there. He couldn't help but push him away and said, "I'm fine. You can go do your own thing."
Gu Yunzhou sighed and sat down next to Ji Zhaoming: "Master doesn't know how to take care of himself at all."
Ji Zhaoming, who was running a fever, couldn't help but laugh awkwardly upon hearing this.
It's probably because of the constant travel these past few days. Omegas are generally more delicate, so the fact that Ji Zhaoming only got a fever after playing around like that means he's in pretty good physical condition.
He hid under the covers, his voice muffled: "Ugh, I'll be fine after a nap. You have so much to do, don't just stand here watching me."
Perhaps because of the people around him, his tone unconsciously carried a hint of coquetry.
Ji Zhaoming didn't want someone watching him while he slept.
That's really strange.
Gu Yunzhou paused, then touched Ji Zhaoming's forehead with his palm.
He sighed, stood up, and said, "Okay."
Anyway, this is a room used for offices. Ji Zhaoming sleeps in the small room inside. Just a few steps forward is the desk.
Gu Yunzhou sat at the table, responsible for organizing documents, replying to text messages, and...
Send Gu He further messages.
The door wasn't closed, and Ji Zhaoming could see Gu Yunzhou sitting at the table at a glance.
Gu Yunzhou in this world seems much more carefree, doing whatever he wants, appearing unrestrained and without any worries.
However, the more this happened, the more afraid Ji Zhaoming became, fearing that Gu Yunzhou would disappear in the blink of an eye one day.
He was no different from the inhabitants of the garbage planet.
He made no demands and lived his life in a daze.
But now, at least we have a goal to strive for, right?
Ji Zhaoming thought of the first task issued by the system.
[Fulfill Gu Yunzhou's wish.]
What is his wish?
"Master, aren't you asleep yet?" Gu Yunzhou asked without turning his head. "Why are you staring at me?"
Ji Zhaoming: !!!
They got caught.
He covered his head with the blanket and said, "I'm going to sleep!"
However, not long after, he cautiously crawled out from under the covers and asked, "Gu Yunzhou, what is your wish?"
Gu Yunzhou said calmly, "I hope Master can recover his health."
shameless.
What kind of wish is this?
Ji Zhaoming turned over again, his mind filled with thoughts.
Gu Yunzhou sighed softly.
System: [Congratulations! You have successfully found Gu Yunzhou's wish.]
Ji Zhaoming: ? ? ? ?
This works?

Chapter 41
Gu Yunzhou was already hopelessly in love with Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming had ample reason to suspect that all of this was a conspiracy by Gu Yunzhou.
Or perhaps the system secretly cheated him, lowering the task standards significantly.
Gu Yunzhou turned around and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
His gaze shifted from the personal terminal to Ji Zhaoming, and he spun the chair around to face Ji Zhaoming directly.
With his legs crossed and hands placed in front of his chest, Gu Yunzhou asked, "Can't you sleep?"
Ji Zhaoming quickly shook his head and scurried into the quilt.
He dared not turn around, but even without turning around, he could feel the gaze lingering on him from behind. Ji Zhaoming clenched his fists and gripped the blanket tightly.
He slowly closed his eyes.
He had a fever for so long without realizing it, and once he closed his eyes, he truly succumbed to exhaustion. In a daze, he heard footsteps.
The man came up to him and touched his forehead.
Without even opening his eyes, Ji Zhaoming naturally felt a sense of closeness and nuzzled his head towards the hand.
Like the gentle breeze of every summer night, it soothed Ji Zhaoming into a deeper sleep.
The man tapped his brow with his fingertip.
Gu Yunzhou laughed and said, "You..."

When Ji Zhaoming woke up again, it was already evening. The window was only slightly ajar for ventilation, the door was closed, and the darkness made Ji Zhaoming want to sleep a little longer.
A sliver of light peeking through the crack in the door silently indicated that someone was still outside.
Ji Zhaoming got out of bed and touched the back of his neck.
It's a little itchy.
The thermometer was placed right next to him. Ji Zhaoming stretched out his body, reached for the thermometer, and took a temperature.
It's still 39 degrees Celsius.
Strange, after sleeping for so long, the fever hasn't gone down at all?
Ji Zhaoming put the thermometer back on the table.
Although Gu Yunzhou closed the door, his heart was entirely focused on the room. Hearing the sound of the thermometer hitting the table when he put it down, Gu Yunzhou suddenly stood up and opened the door.
It was completely dark inside, but Gu Yunzhou had excellent eyesight and immediately spotted Ji Zhaoming sitting on the bed.
With one hand holding onto the small table beside her and the other obediently placed on her lap, she looked at the door with some suspicion and squinted, finally spotting Gu Yunzhou in the blurry shadow.
He stood up and asked, "Gu Yunzhou?"
Gu Yunzhou hummed in agreement, turned on the light, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Before Ji Zhaoming could answer, Gu Yunzhou saw the thermometer on the table.
The thermometer hadn't reset to its original temperature setting yet, and a shocking reading was prominently displayed on it.
Gu Yunzhou frowned.
Gu Yunzhou administered the medicine to Ji Zhaoming while he was sleeping.
Logically speaking, the price shouldn't have remained unchanged until now, right?
Ji Zhaoming scratched the back of his neck: "Well, actually, if my temperature hadn't been rising, I wouldn't have felt like I had a fever at all, so don't worry."
Gu Yunzhou pursed his lips tightly.
This is what he is most worried about.
Unable to find the source of the illness and with no way to lower the temperature, and given the underdeveloped medical system on this garbage planet, he couldn't afford to let Ji Zhaoming suffer any accidents.
Gu Yunzhou said, "I'll call you again to come and check if there's anything wrong."
Ji Zhaoming shook his head.
He just felt an unbearable itch on the back of his neck.
But this shouldn't be a big problem?
He reached behind him and scratched the back of his neck. Just as his fingers were about to touch his skin, he was suddenly grabbed.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Feeling unwell?"
Ji Zhaoming could only nod, lower his head, and reveal the back of his neck: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it's just a little itchy."
