"Drink water . " Yan Rusheng let go of his hands and flipped over to lie on his back .
Xuxu placed the cup at his bedside . She then made her way back to her bed and sat down .
She leaned against the wall hugging her legs with both hands and looked out of the window .
"It's him!"
The old lady suddenly shrieked in astonishment .
Xuxu got a shock and turned to look at her . She saw the old lady holding her cell phone in one hand while pointing to Yan Rusheng with her other hand . Her eyes sparkled with excitement and joy .
Xuxu hazarded a guess why the old lady had reacted that way . She must have read about Yan Rusheng, and when she saw his photos on the internet, she must have recognized him straight away .
She pressed her lips together .
"The medicine is here . "
Just then, Su Yan returned with two boxes of medicine . He was gasping for breath .
The train had also started to move off at the same time . Thankfully, he made it back to the train in the nick of time .
"Third Brother, take your medicine . " Su Yan poured the medicine onto his palm . As he was tall enough, he only needed to stand on tiptoe .
His towering figure blocked Xuxu's view .
She lay sideways with her back facing them . She had no intention to bother about any other things .
To everyone's surprise, he didn't lose his temper nor hollered at them . Yan Rusheng took his medication cooperatively .
The train swayed back and forth . Xuxu narrowed her eyes, and her eyelids gradually turned heavy as the sky turned dark .
Su Yan was still worried for Yan Rusheng . He didn't return to his own bed and sat at the edge of Xuxu's bed while randomly scrolling on his cell phone .
"Young fellow, is this lady Xuxu?"
All of a sudden, the old lady sat up and moved to the edge of her bed as well . She sat opposite him while pointing to Xuxu .
Su Yan was startled . "How do you know?"
The old lady grinned . "My granddaughter loves to pay close attention to the news that involves the two of them . "
Su Yan was dumbfounded and merely laughed before lowering his head . She continued staring at his phone .
The old lady inched closer to him and deliberately lowered her voice . "What were they arguing about? That young lad was running such a high fever, yet she doesn't seem to care about him . "
Su Yan was speechless .
This old lady was a real busybody .
He replied, "This is a way of flirting . Auntie, you won't understand . "
Just in case the old lady asked further, he stood up and went over to feel Yan Rusheng's forehead which a layer of perspiration covered .
Since he was young, he seldom catches a cold, and the number of episodes that he did could be counted on his fingers . But from the little experience that he had, he knew that when one started perspiring, it's a sign that the fever was coming down and the person would be out of danger .
Hence, he heaved a sigh of relief . After he had gone to the bathroom, he climbed back to his bed .
However, there were certain matters that couldn't be avoided no matter how much one tried to escape .
The old lady on the lower bed leaned against Su Yan's bedside and stared at him . "Young man, what's your name? How are you related to them? Why have I not seen you in the news before?"
Her questions came one after the other, just like a firing machine gun .
The corners of Su Yan's mouth involuntarily twitched, and he was speechless .
Before Su Yan could respond, an impatient voice came from behind the old lady . "Old lady, you are very noisy . "
His voice was hoarse and sounded nasal as well .
When the old lady heard this, she turned her head just when Yan Rusheng flipped to the other side . His back was already facing her .
"Indeed, as what the rumors say . He has no manners!"
The old lady gave Yan Rusheng a fierce look of contempt before returning to her own bed .
Su Yan chuckled to himself .
He thought to himself, "Sometimes it's not a bad idea to go about with one's nose in the air, especially when dealing with a nosy old lady . "
