92 Green Gate (1/2)

”You're hot--” I blurted out as I felt his skin over mine.

”Hmmm.. I know.” Neo groggily said.

”No.. I mean you're really hot. Like literally hot!! You're burning up!! You have a fever!” I exclaimed. He is still wearing his wet clothes resulting on my clothes getting wet as well. I can feel his high temperature as his neck and the side of his head rest on top of my thigh.

”Hmmm” he mumbled, I'm not even sure if he understood what I just said. He finally let go of my right arm and pushed himself up using both of his hands but it seems like he doesn't have enough strength. After a few trials and failures, he gave up and nestled himself on my lap.

If I am an animated character then I think my whole body would have turned red by now, from my toe to the roots of my hair and I don't even know if it's because of anger or embarrassment.

I face palmed myself and said ”Hey, I just pushed you into the water minutes ago. How in the world did you suddenly get a high fever?!”

I tried pushing Neoaway from me but he won't budge one bit. Did this guy ate rocks or something?

”I was not feeling well since this morning.” Neo weakly said. His eyes are closed and his face is extremely pale at the moment. Even though he still looks handsome right now, I still don't like what I am seeing. The Yuan clan will torture me if Neo catches a serious illness due to me pushing him into the water earlier.

”Since you are not feeling well, then you should have gone home or straight to the infirmary!” I scolded him as I placed my left palm over his forehead but retracted it in seconds. Ouch! I internally screamed as I felt his forehead. Oh no! He is seriously burning up!

”I always go here to rest.” Neo said, his hot breath brushing over my bare skin.

Does this place looks like a medical center for the sick? Or is he waiting for a magical fairy to appear out of nowhere to cure him? I gritted my teeth and told myself to calm down. First things first, I need to get him to the hospital before he starts hallucinating because of his high temperature.

”Can you try standing up again? You need to go to the hospital.” I said to him in a calm steady voice.

I heard him groan and unsteadily tried to push himself up. After two tries he finally was able to sit down but due to his weak state he ended up leaning on me. Ugh... Why is it getting worst and worst? He's heavy! (T.T)

”I don't need to go to the hospital. It will only garner unnecessary attention from the public. Bring me to my apartment instead.” Neo said in a weak but commanding tone of voice.

”I'm bringing you to the hospital.” I sternly said to him. I slowly stood up. I made sure that the stubborn patient leaning on me won't fall on his back because it will surely be hard to lift him back up again.

”If you bring me to the hospital then people will find out about you aggressively pushing a sick young master in to the water.” Neo said this as I helped him stand up. He then weakly chuckled when he felt my body become stiff.
