Ch124.2 - Dinner Party (2/2)

Jin Weicheng had drunk quite a bit but definitely not as much as Situ Ye. Situ Ye tossed Yu Hao a cunning look, meaning ‘power level 5 weakling’. Yu Hao realised that this Lady Boss of his was really too interesting and easily bore grudges since he remembered the words ‘raised by the rich’ for so long. Today, Situ Ye accepted all the drinks that were for Lin Ze and Yu Hao, but he just refused to help Jin Weicheng block his drinks, resulting in Jin Weicheng’s extreme discomfort from drinking so much.

“I can.” Jin Weicheng was thoroughly exhausted, “I’ll be fine after I sleep.”

“I’ll sing a song too to entertain everyone too.” Situ Ye said, “I can’t let our Xiao Yu sing in vain, listen up —— one, two, three, up! Huba, huba! Huba! Huba!”

Lin Ze, who sat in the passenger seat, seemed to have known what Situ Ye wanted to sing, so he immediately started singing along with him in a lilting voice.

“Daban City’s stone roads are hard and even na, watermelons are big and sweet, girls from there have long braids——”

Yu Hao, “Hahahahaha!”

“Those eyes are really pretty ——” Situ Ye and Lin Ze started jumping on the car.

“If you’re going to marry someone, don’t marry someone else, you must marry me. Bring your dowry, sing your song, come in the carriage to me——”

Yu Hao started singing aloud in the car as well, and the Didi driver sang with them too. They were just like a bunch of lunatics.

The car arrived at the bottom of Yu Hao’s apartment.

“I’ll send you up?” Lin Ze said.

After Yu Hao finished singing, his urge to puke grew even stronger. He said weakly, “I’ll be fine on my own. Jin Laoshi, I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Jin Weicheng was already asleep.

After Yu Hao got home, he felt like his cold had gotten a little worse. He wanted to vomit, but he couldn’t. He opened up his laptop since he wanted to finish writing his review and send it to Lin Ze. After doing that, he wouldn’t need to take his laptop with him when he goes out for an interview tomorrow. That way, it wouldn’t be easily stolen either.

He forced himself to tolerate the discomfort from his cold and typed in a few sentences, but he really couldn’t hold on any longer and set an alarm for 6am. He’d wake up in the morning to finish his review. If he slept now, he’d still have 6 hours of sleep, and he’ll just pack up tomorrow morning ba.

Yu Hao felt like dying. He hadn’t fallen this gravely ill in several years. He took his medication again and slept muddle headed for a while. The fever medication couldn’t suppress it, and he started burning up again in the middle of the night.

At 2am, Yu Hao saw a video call from Zhou Sheng. He groped around for his phone and accepted it.

He had no energy left to turn on the light, but Zhou Sheng’s side was very bright.

“Wife?” Zhou Sheng said, “You haven’t slept? You don’t need to go to work tomorrow ba?”

“I’m dying.” Yu Hao said with a fever, “I don’t think I can make it.”

Zhou Sheng, “……”

“I’m so tired.” Yu Hao lay in bed, and after repressing his emotions for so long, he finally collapsed, “I feel so useless.”

Zhou Sheng, “Baby, how much did you drink? Didn’t someone help you? Turn on the light, let me take a look? What’s going on? Turn on the light!”

“I feel so terrible.” Yu Hao said, “I’m so hungry, but I can’t eat anything.”

Zhou Sheng said, “I’ll get Kaikai to go see you now.”

“I don’t want to see him.” Yu Hao said, “Don’t……I look too terrible. I still need to go out for interviews with Laoshi tomorrow, it’ll be an eleven-hour ride on a hard seat. I’m running out of money, transfer me some ba, 1000 is enough……” Yu Hao suddenly flipped over and finally vomited.

Zhou Sheng didn’t say anything for a long time and just breathed deeply, “Turn on the light ah! What’s the matter with you! There’s a card in one of your bag’s pockets……didn’t you see it? Spend the money in it!”

“I’ll sleep for a bit.” Yu hao closed his eyes, “I’ll talk to you again in the morning. I’m getting up in the morning to write a review. A Notice of Criticism for the entire company. I can’t hold on anymore, I can’t. The time we spent together was so great, I feel like the me then really didn’t know how……to be content. I just knew how to torment you, I’m sorry……my phone’s about to run out of battery……”

Yu Hao felt much better right after vomiting and didn’t want to clean it up.

His phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down.

Zhou Sheng hadn’t changed his clothes yet, and his hair was a complete mess as he stood in the living room of their rented house. He sent Yu Hao another WeChat message, no reply. He texted Lin Ze, but he didn’t reply either. Situ Ye replied and answered:【He didn’t drink much, but he has a bit of a cold. He still seemed quite okay when he got out of the car just now.】

Zhou Sheng:【Did he take cephalosporin?】

Situ Ye:【He didn’t, don’t worry, I saw the medication he bought before dinner.】

Zhou Sheng had almost been frightened to death. He quickly thanked him. Situ Ye:【He’s under quite a lot of pressure at work, but he’ll get better. Doesn’t he usually talk to you about it? I see you two video chat each other quite often.】

Zhou Sheng:【He didn’t, alright I got it.】

Situ Ye replied:【Never mind, give me half an hour. I’ll go over right now.】

Zhou Sheng sat on the sofa and waited. At 3.30am, Yu Hao’s roommate opened the door. Situ Ye started a video call, turned on the lights, and let Zhou Sheng see Yu Hao.

The room was a mess; books and papers brought back from the newspaper office were strewn all over the floor. Yu Hao had vomited quite a bit next to the bed. He hadn’t even taken his clothes off as he lay curled up at the edge of the bed. The heating was on; it was so hot that he didn’t cover himself with a blanket, and he was so skinny he looked like a stray cat that had just been picked up from the streets. Situ Ye cleaned up the vomit on the floor, washed the mop, and touched Yu Hao’s forehead. He said to Zhou Sheng, “He doesn’t have a fever, and he’s sleeping, do you want me to wake him up?”

“Don’t, let him sleep.” Zhou Sheng answered, “Thank you, thank you so much.”
