Every night I watch my boss collapse

Tan Shaoshi didn't sleep well, felt hot all over, felt dizzy and weak, and had weird dreams one after another.She was dreaming of going back to her childhood, and was awakened by Yu Zhi's movements, she barely opened her eyes, and saw the blurry figure in front of her as her mother.

As soon as she got sick, she forgot her usual awkwardness, and felt that she was the most vulnerable and uncomfortable little girl. She wanted to act like a spoiled child with her mother, so she moved her body and hugged her and cried softly, feeling wronged.

"Mom" helped her close the quilt with a very gentle voice, "Hey, take your temperature."

Tan Shaoshi obediently obeyed, raised her arm to clamp the thermometer and leaned into "mother"'s arms.Her head was drowsy, and within a minute of closing her eyes, she was half asleep and half awake, and she vaguely felt that "mother" pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly, and felt the heat and wanted to reach out, but was pressed back gently.

"38 degrees 8." A sigh sounded in her ear, "Shao Shi, let's go to the hospital."

Tan Shaoshi shrank into the bed, "I won't go."

"Then take anti-fever medicine?"

"Mmm." Tan Shaoshi thought it would be fine if she didn't have to get up.

After a while, she had another short dream. The quilt she was wrapped in was pulled away, and the light shone in, making people frown uncomfortably, and awakening people's mind with the slightly cold air.With the support, she sat up, gradually pulled away from the chaotic dream, and opened her eyes to see everything in front of her clearly.

"Yu Zhi?"

"Hey." Yu Zhi responded softly, and put a pillow for her, "Take the antipyretic medicine before going to bed."

Following Yu Zhi's hand, Tan Shaoshi saw the plastic bag on the bedside table, with the name of the pharmacy marked on the outside, and medicine and receipts inside.She understood that Yu Zhi was helping to buy medicine, she glanced at the clock on the wall pointing to seven o'clock, she suddenly became able to think, and asked a question, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Take it later." Yu Zhi handed over the water glass, "Take the medicine."

Tan Shaoshi was obedient and convinced.

After she finished drinking the water, Yu Zhi gently wiped off the water marks on the corners of her lips with a tissue, "Are you hungry?"

"No appetite." Tan Shaoshi cleared her throat, but still couldn't hide the hoarseness and weakness of her voice, "I'm sleeping, you go eat."

Yu Zhi helped her cover the quilt, turned off the light, and left the room slowly.

As the door closed, the world in front of me became dark again.Tan Shaoshi's drowsiness was driven away by a glass of water, she turned over, saw the reflective metal decoration of the cabinet at a glance, and felt that these details overlapped with the previous vague dream.

She froze for a moment, remembering the very realistic "Mom", and began to think about whether she had yelled it or not.

Tan Shaoshi had a fever and felt tired after failing to come up with a result, so she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

The fever-reducing medicine took effect, and Tan Shaoshi sweated. Tuliang wanted to throw off the quilt, but when she moved, she was hugged tightly by the arms stretched out beside her.She felt a warm, sticky feeling, and groaned uncomfortably, only when the sweat from her forehead and neck was wiped off with a tissue, she felt more comfortable.

With someone taking care of her, she didn't have to force herself to wake up, and she fell asleep until she woke up naturally.

Seeing that it was still dark outside, Tan Shaoshi was dazed, and turned to look at the pillow.

Yu Zhi fell asleep with her arms on the quilt on her side and a tissue in her hand.

Tan Shaoshi touched her forehead, it wasn't hot, the fever should have subsided, and there was nothing uncomfortable except her throat.She covered her mouth and coughed twice, and used the lightest movement to help Yu Zhi put her hands back under the quilt. She reached for her phone and looked at it. At 5:10, she pursed her lips and locked the screen before lying back down.

At seven o'clock, Yu Zhi got up, and she also woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she met Yu Zhi's eyes.

"Morning." The first thing Yu Zhi did when she woke up was to touch her forehead, "It's still a little hot."

Tan Shaoshi coughed twice before she could speak, "I think it's normal."

"The thermometer shall prevail." Yu Zhi took the thermometer from the bedside.

Tan Shaoshi wanted to take her own measure, but Yu Zhi did it for her. She packed up her pajamas and lay down beside her, her hands were not retracted, she put her hands on her head and hugged her.

"Uh..." The two were so close, she felt that her body temperature was about to rise again, and whispered, "It's contagious."

Yu Zhi hugged her tightly, and said softly, "Let me sleep for another 5 minutes."

Tan Shaoshi didn't have the strength to refuse.

Five minutes later, she was a little drowsy, but Yu Zhi woke up on time and took a thermometer to check, "It's 5 degrees 37, and I still have a low fever."

"Just take the medicine for another day." Tan Shaoshi lifted the quilt to get up, her throat itched when she was cold, she held back her cough, thinking that drinking some water would be fine.

Yu Zhi stopped her, "Are you going to work?"

Tan Shaoshi nodded, and couldn't help coughing twice.

Yu Zhi gave her a thermos, "Drink some water."

Tan Shaoshi took two sips and felt better, when she suddenly heard Yu Zhi talking beside her.

"Stay home and rest."

"No, it's okay to have a low-grade fever...cough cough." Tan Shaoshi said it was okay, but her body was not up to snuff, her throat moistened with clear water subsided for a while, and then she felt itchy again.

Yu Zhi patted her lightly to help her relax, "Be obedient, your body is important."

"But……"

"The dinner party is getting closer, and there will be a lot of work afterwards." Yu Zhi told her the truth after playing the emotional card, "You take good care of your body today, and then you can adapt to the strong work rhythm."

Tan Shaoshi has no choice but to compromise

It's better for her to ask for leave on a day that is not too busy than to hold her back in the future.

"I'm going to make breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

"Porridge." Tan Shaoshi's voice was really uncomfortable, and she tried to keep her words to a minimum.

"Okay, I'll do it, and you can sleep for a while."

Tan Shaoshi wanted to speak, but she couldn't help coughing when she opened her mouth. She quickly picked up the thermos and drank water.She planned to drink the water and follow, but she couldn't compare to Yu Zhi's speed, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Yu Zhi coming back with a water bottle.

"Where do you want to have breakfast?" Yu Zhi took the thermos cup and poured water for her, "Can I bring it for you?"

She was taken aback by this meticulous care.

The last time Tan Shaoshi caught a cold and had a fever was at the beginning of the year, and unfortunately it was also a weekend.She made an agreement with her mother to go home for dinner. Seeing that her condition was mild, she braved the cold wind to squeeze the subway without any worries.When she got home, she became a little more serious, with a fever of 38 degrees 7, and ran out to buy medicine while her parents were cooking without saying a word.Mom noticed that she was blushing, and asked a few questions. She said she had a fever, and in exchange for Dad, she said "stay at home tonight", and there was no special treatment when she stayed. can hear.

Tan Shaoshi clearly knew that she was not a child anymore, she was not seriously ill and could take care of herself, she thought it was normal for her mother not to ask for help, she was used to self-reliance, and felt that it was good if her mother didn't talk about herself.

The next day, Tan Shaoshi's condition improved, and her mother was concerned, and finally focused on "why don't you pay attention?"When she was sick, she had a bad temper and felt irritated. She got up early in the morning and went back to the rented house. She was sweating on the road, and her fever subsided all at once.

Until today, she didn't know how comfortable it is to be pampered like a little princess, to open her mouth and stretch out her hands when she eats.

Tan Shaoshi took the water glass handed back by Yu Zhi, and whispered, "I'll go out to eat."

"Okay." Yu Zhi patted her head, "Go to sleep, I'll wake you up for breakfast later."

Tan Shaoshi was not sleepy, but was persuaded by Yu Zhi's gentle voice to go back to bed.

After 15 minutes passed, she couldn't fall asleep at all, so she put on the coat that Yu Zhi had placed beside the bed for her, and slowly moved to wash up.She still remembered the deadly act of washing her face with cold water yesterday, she waited patiently for the faucet to warm up and used hotter water, after she cleaned herself up, she went to the kitchen to find Yu Zhi.

"Get up." Yu Zhi was serving porridge, when she heard her coughing, she immediately turned her head, "The porridge is ready, sit down."

Tan Shaoshi failed to enter the kitchen, so she obediently sat down at the dining table.

When Yu Zhi brought the porridge over, her first reaction was to touch her forehead.

"No more burning." Tan Shaoshi said, "My head is not dizzy."

Yu Zhi didn't believe her words, "Eat breakfast and take your temperature later."

Tan Shaoshi said yes.

"Are you okay at home alone?" Yu Zhi was worried.

"Okay." Tan Shaoshi used the past of self-reliance as a basis, and tried to persuade Yu Zhi, "I only got dizzy after taking cold medicine yesterday. I used to go to work when I had a fever, and it didn't affect me."

Yu Zhi disagreed, "How could it not be affected, I will ask for leave to accompany you."

"Don't." Tan Shaoshi had no choice but to change her words, "I'll sleep after taking the medicine, and I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Yu Zhi frowned.

Tan Shaoshi couldn't bear Yu Zhi's worry, so she discussed weakly, "You go to work, come back at noon and bring me a meal?"

Yu Zhi also has her own job. After thinking about it, she felt that what she said made sense, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Rice, with some light dishes."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

After breakfast, Yu Zhi supervised her to take the medicine before leaving. Tan Shaoshi wanted to give her a gift, but she was driven back when she arrived at the entrance.She wasn't sleepy, she lay lazily on the bed and watched videos, and when she was tired, she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.

At noon, she received Yu Zhi's apologetic message: "I'm sorry, I can't make it back at noon."

"It's okay, I'll go downstairs and buy a bowl of wontons myself."

"I asked someone to bring you food."

"Ok."

Tan Shaoshi thought that Yu Zhi had sent some assistant back, so she changed her clothes on purpose.At 12:[-], the doorbell rang. She looked in the mirror to make sure she could see people, and went to open the door, startled by the sudden sound of unlocking.

"Yu Zhi?" She was puzzled.

Someone walked in from outside the door, not familiar with the structure of the house, and the insulated lunch box he was carrying slammed into the shoe cabinet.

Tan Shaoshi was dumbfounded when she saw the person in front of her.

"Mom, why are you here?"

-

Mom carried things in both hands, a luxurious multi-layer insulated lunch box in one hand, and a large shopping bag bulging in the other, with a handful of vegetables protruding from the top.

"Ouch," my mother frowned as soon as she saw her, and stepped forward to help her gather up her clothes, "You have a cold, you need to button up your coat."

Tan Shaoshi was so frightened that she couldn't help coughing.

"Sit down." Mom pushed her in, "Drink water."

Tan Shaoshi drank water to moisten her throat, and when she saw her mother holding the key, she suddenly understood, "Yu Zhi asked you to come?"

"Yeah." Mom put the key on the coffee table, "and gave me the key."

Tan Shaoshi was puzzled.

Is it true that Yu Zhi can't come back in time, or is she busy running around a long way to deliver the keys to her mother?

"Is it still burning?" Mom touched her forehead, "It's very hot."

Tan Shaoshi grabbed her mother's hand, "Mom, your hands are too cold."

"Maybe, is there a thermometer? Eat while taking your temperature." Mom opened the insulated lunch box, "I fried vegetables, loofah, and radish pork rib soup for you. Let's drink the soup first."

Tan Shaoshi still couldn't believe that her mother suddenly appeared, "Mom, don't you have to go to work?"

"Lunch break."

"Then when did you cook?"

"I didn't have anything to do in the morning, so I went home to do it." Mom first brought her carrot soup, "The temperature is just right, drink it quickly."

Tan Shaoshi was not in a hurry to drink, and continued to ask what she wanted to know, "What did Yu Zhi tell you?"

According to her understanding of her mother for more than 20 years, Tan Shaoshi really didn't think that her mother would be obliged to go home and cook a meal when she heard that she was sick. She felt that it was probably Yu Zhi who persuaded her.

"You said you were sick and didn't take care of you at home alone." My mother became angry when she said that, "Why didn't you tell us?"

It's useless to tell you.

Tan Shaoshi almost told the truth, coughed twice, and silently sipped the soup.

"Hey, let's eat first." Mom couldn't bear to blame her anymore, "Is the soup salty?"

"Not salty." Tan Shaoshi pursed her lips, "Have you eaten yet?"

"It's too early, I'm not hungry." Mom touched the loofah, "It seems a little cold, I'll heat it up, where are the plates and microwave?"

Tan Shaoshi put down the soup bowl, "I'll come."

"You are sick and resting." Mom looked around for a while and found the direction of the kitchen, "Is that right over there?"

Tan Shaoshi nodded.

Mom planned to reheat all the dishes, so she went over with the things.

After confirming that her mother was gone, Tan Shaoshi hurried back to her room to get her mobile phone, and sent a message to Yu Zhi asking, "Why did you call my mother here?"

Yu Zhi replied in seconds: "I'm not at ease."

"What did you tell her?"

"Say you're sick."

Tan Shaoshi didn't believe it, "That's it? Did you make my illness very serious?"

"No."

Tan Shaoshi looked suspiciously in the direction of the kitchen when she saw the two categorical words.

In the kitchen, my mother was busy heating dishes, operating the microwave oven to make a tinkling sound, which echoed in the room.After finishing a plate, my mother came back and was dissatisfied when she saw her staring blankly, "Why don't you drink it?"

"Drink." Tan Shaoshi drank the soup vigorously, wiped her mouth, and asked her mother while waiting for the food, "Mom, do you think my illness is serious?"

"Think?" Mom wondered, "It's not serious, the fever was going to be 39 last night."

"It's back to 37 degrees 5 this morning."

"The antipyretics are temporary. If you don't cure the disease, you will have a fever repeatedly." Mom looked at the time, "It's almost there, let's see how the temperature is."

Tan Shaoshi took out the thermometer and found that her body temperature had risen to 37 degrees 9.

"Look." Mom started nagging immediately, "You still wear so little, go and add more."

Tan Shaoshi let out an "oh", went back to the room and changed into the fluffy pajamas, and brought back the thermos cup on the bedside table by the way.

She didn't have the guts to drink from a couples mug in front of her mother.

"Eat this first." Mom also brought back the hot loofah and rice, and sent the chopsticks to her hands.

Tan Shaoshi was extremely uncomfortable, chewing the food but couldn't taste it, seeing her mother go to the kitchen to get busy again, she felt that Yu Zhi must have said something to her mother.Otherwise, the mother will not become the attitude of taking care of her as a child.

She has a bad appetite, and she doesn't have much interest in clear soup with little water. She ate some to survive due to her cold condition. Her mother ate with her, and she ate her own. look like.

After eating, my mother went to wash the dishes. Tan Shaoshi watched the people in the group complain about Ms. Zhou.Ms. Zhou lost her temper yesterday, and today she took the time to discuss and came to the door to urge her. When she heard the news that a good version could be produced today, she reluctantly sat in the reception room and waited. No one dared to provoke her.Ke Shan bought a fast food to send there, but Ms. Zhou didn't eat it, so she changed to a hotel and ordered takeaway. There was a table full of them, as if the emperor was not used to eating folk food when he was on tour.

Tan Shaoshi laughed when she saw Ke Shan's spit without profanity. After enjoying the music for a while, her throat itched and coughed.

"Drink water." Mom came over with a glass of water.

Tan Shaoshi was startled, tremblingly picked it up and drank it.

"What are you doing?" Mom smiled, "This is water, not medicine."

Tan Shaoshi pursed her lips, "You are very good today, I'm not used to it."

"I usually treat you badly?"

"No." Tan Shaoshi shook her head, "But I don't need to trouble you for the things I can do by myself."

"I'm your mother, what's the trouble?" Mom picked up the medicine box and looked at it, "Does this work?"

"have it."

"No, it's not good to take too much medicine. I'll make ginger soup for you."

Seeing that her mother was about to get busy again, Tan Shaoshi quickly stopped her, "Mom, stop cooking, I don't like ginger soup..."

"Then drink something else. Drinking this tangerine red in water is very effective." Mom dug out a bag of things from the bulging bag, "I also bought pears and lemons, a little pork, and a handful of vegetables. And ginger... Why is your refrigerator so empty? The kitchen is like new. You go out to eat all the time, and you will get sick easily if you have too much toxin in your body. You need to exercise more. Didn’t you just catch a cold in August? It’s been 8 months here we go again……"

Tan Shaoshi silently listened to her mother talking about the theory that "eating outside is poisonous" and "you will get sick if you don't pay attention".

This is the familiar way to open it.

However, as she listened, she suddenly discovered that her mother was not as she imagined, "the child is too lazy to answer the questions". She remembered the time when she was sick very clearly, and the tone of the scolding was not pleasant, but every word was concerned.

"En." Tan Shaoshi listened patiently to the end, and nodded obediently, "I see."

My mother always has endless things to say, and urged her to take medicine. She found the cute little fruit plate she bought last time and put them in pears. "Don't buy such fancy things. How much paint is poisonous."

Tan Shaoshi responded perfunctorily.

In my mother's eyes, not everything in the house is poisonous.

After one o'clock, her cell phone rang, and a string of unfamiliar numbers was displayed on the incoming call.

Tan Shaoshi was surprised, her mother didn't stop, she lowered her voice and murmured, "Who is calling someone at noon, and even quarreling with others if I don't rest."

The object of her mother's complaints changed, and Tan Shaoshi felt quite refreshed. She held back a smile and picked up the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

"Designer Tan." A sullen voice sounded, "Why did you ask for leave today?"

"Ms. Zhou?" Tan Shaoshi recognized it, and explained in a good voice based on the principle of "Party A is the father", "I'm really sorry, I don't feel well, and I can't go to work today."

Ms. Zhou snorted coldly, "You did it on purpose!"

"what?"

"You know that the necklace is made in an ugly shape, and you deliberately hid it at home so that I can't find it, right?" Ms. Zhou cursed loudly, "I saw your model, and it is completely different from the design drawing! You open it For such a high price, give me something that is not right for the board?"

Ms. Zhou's voice was so loud that she abruptly changed the receiver mode into speaker mode.

Tan Shaoshi put the phone away, glanced at her mother, and was about to go to the room to deal with the difficult client.

But her mother held her back with a solemn expression.

"Ah." Tan Shaoshi was sick and had to deal with two people. She was physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't take care of so much. She sat back and continued to persuade Ms. Zhou under the watchful eyes of her mother, "Ms. Zhou, don't worry, is that a wax board?" The finished product, the effect will be much better after it is finished."

Ms. Zhou clicked her tongue, "Why do I feel that it is completely different from the design drawing?"

"There must be a gap between the manuscript and the real thing." Tan Shaoshi was anxious to explain, but was stimulated by the smell of medicine, and couldn't help coughing.

Ms. Zhou turned on the mocking mode, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? You said it well before, but if you really want to explain it, you start coughing!"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Tan Shaoshi coughed until her face turned red, and she was relieved by the water handed by her mother, "I'm really not feeling well."

Ms. Zhou didn't understand, and continued to talk about the inappropriate goods. When she mentioned inlays, she said, "My gemstones are so expensive. If you set them on garbage, they will be ruined", which is not polite at all.

Tan Shaoshi was humiliated all over from character to design level, unable to support her forehead.

"Ms. Zhou, please don't harass our designers." In the end, it was Ke Shan who interrupted Ms. Zhou, "This address book is for our internal use, and you are not allowed to read it without permission."

The phone was hung up. I don't know if it was Ke Shan's compulsory request or Ms. Zhou found the next target and let her go.

"Cough." Tan Shaoshi took a sip of the tangerine red brewed by her mother, and she really felt better.

Mom smiled seriously, "Is it the client from last time?"

"No, another one."

Mom sighed, "I'm sorry."

"what?"

"You work so hard, and I'm still talking nonsense in the park, causing you trouble."

"It doesn't matter." Tan Shaoshi's heart softened, she couldn't see her mother showing a sad expression, "That client came back to me for cooperation."

Mom was uneasy, "Will he scold you like that?"

"No." Even if she had no idea, Tan Shaoshi pretended to answer firmly to her mother, "Most of the guests are polite and polite, this one just now was an exception."

Mom didn't say a word, patted her head, and straightened her ponytail that was messed up.

Tan Shaoshi thought of the picture of her mother tying her hair when she was a child, she was so fascinated, she naturally called out, "Mom~"

"Hey." Mom agreed, smiling kindly.

Tan Shaoshi also raised the corners of her mouth, feeling warm in her heart.

"You work too hard," my mother shook her head. "You have to answer customer calls when you are sick. It's not as good as before... Is this company so good? Do you want to change it?"

Tan Shaoshi coughed lightly, "This company is very good, and it has a bright future."

"Really?" Mom looked at her suspiciously.

Tan Shaoshi nodded solemnly, almost believing herself, "Yes."

"How about..." Mom hesitated to speak.

"What?" Tan Shaoshi asked cautiously with an ominous premonition.

Mom heard her question and answered decisively.

"Get married early and stop working."
