"There are so many commuters on the train and the journey takes more than 10 hours . How can there be no fever medicine available at all? This is ridiculous . "
Su Yan went to ask for a fever medicine but without success . He grumbled as he walked .
One could tell that he was worried .
When he passed by Xuxu, he halted his steps and noticed that she was still calm and collected . He resumed his steps and entered the room .
"Third Brother, sit up quickly and have some water . "
Xuxu's cup was on the table . Su Yan conveniently took it and placed it in Yan Rusheng's hand .
He attempted to prop him up on the bed .
"You are too noisy . Get lost . "
Yan Rusheng brushed off Su Yan's good intentions and forcefully shoved his hands away . The cup of water spilled all over the place .
After that, he gripped the blanket between his legs . He turned around with his back facing Su Yan . "Xuxu, Xuxu, don't make a noise . "
He repeatedly called out Xuxu's name .
Su Yan knew that Xuxu must have appeared in his dreams because he had been thinking about her all day long . The fever must have made him muddle-headed and dazed .
But in the face of this situation, what should he do?
He felt helpless, yet he couldn't ignore Yan Rusheng—his body was burning . Hence, he turned his eyes to Xuxu once again . "Xuxu, can you teach me how to bring down his fever?"
Before Xuxu could respond, the old lady on the next bed suddenly spoke . "Bring some warm water over . Do you have a towel as well?"
Su Yan looked at the old lady and immediately nodded . "Yes, I have a towel . "
He took his bag down from his bed and rummaged through it for a towel . Following the old lady's instructions, he wet the towel and placed it on Yan Rusheng's forehead .
After a while, the old lady spoke again . "You'll need to rinse the towel and reapply . "
Su Yan acted according to the old lady's instructions and repeatedly ran back and forth .
After half an hour, the old lady got down from her bed . She stretched out her hand to feel Yan Rusheng's forehead . She exclaimed, "Oh dear . He's still running a high fever and can't do without medication . "
Su Yan got anxious when he heard this . "But there isn't any fever medicine on board . "
In his anxiousness, his non-fluent mandarin sounded even less fluent .
"Dear commuters, our train is arriving at…"
Just then, there was an announcement informing that the train was approaching the next stop .
Hearing the announcement, Su Yan thought for a moment and dashed out . A train attendant, who was dragging a piece of luggage, walked out of a room from the other end . He immediately ran up to him . "Comrade, may I know for how long will the train be stopping at the next station?"
The train attendant replied, "It's a major station . Hence, it will stop for approximately 7-8 minutes . "
"Okay, thank you . " Su Yan thanked the attendant in English before asking again, "Is there any pharmacy at the train station?"
When the train attendant heard Su Yan asking for a pharmacy, he asked with concern . "What happened?"
Su Yan said, "My friend is running a high fever, and the temperature doesn't seem to be going down . "
The train attendant replied, "Oh . You can approach the train manager to help you ask around for any fever medicine available . "
Su Yan asked, "Isn't there a pharmacy at the train station?"
When it comes to medication, he felt that it's unsafe to consume it if it's not supplied by the carriage .
"Hey!" The train attendant thought for a moment and nodded his head . "There is a sickbay, so there could be some fever or flu medication . "
Su Yan smiled and thanked him . "Thank you . "
The train had pulled to a stop . He went back and walked over to Xuxu . "I'm getting off the train to buy medicine for him . Please help me watch over him for a while . "
He knew very well that Xuxu wouldn't respond with the answer he wanted to hear . Hence, he didn't wait for her to reply . He immediately turned around and walked towards the door .
