After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

After the doctor left, Lin Gantang poured some water for Wen Yanqing to take his medicine. Wen Yanqing swallowed the pill silently. Suddenly, Lin Gantang patted his head and said, “Ah, I forgot to ask what his name is.”

Wen Yanqing tightened his grip on the cup in his hand and put it down. The cup came into contact with the coffee table and made a soft clang. “You want to know him?”

“No, I thought that we might meet again. It would be impolite if I can’t even address the doctor by his name,” Lin Gantang said truthfully.

“There’s no need to meet. I’ll be fine after taking a few pills.”

Lin Gantang looked at the time. It was a little late, so she said, “Have a good sleep after taking the medicine. I’ll go back first and come back tomorrow.”

Wen Yanqing leaned back on the sofa and said weakly, “Okay, you can go. I’m a little dizzy. I don’t know if I’ll still have a high fever in the middle of the night. 1 won’t send you off today.”

Lin Gantang looked at his weak appearance and couldn’t bear to see him that way. “Are you dizzy?”

“Yeah. It seems to be burning up again.” Wen Yanqing pulled her hand and placed it on his forehead. He closed his eyes slightly and looked haggard.

Lin Gantang felt his forehead and frowned.

Wen Yanqing was sick and he was the only one at home. No one would be around to give him a cup of water even if he had a fever in the middle of the night and wanted a drink of water.

The more Lin Gantang thought about it, the more worried she became. “Then… I’m not going back. I’ll stay here with you?”

“Can you? Your family will be worried, right?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“I’ll give my dad a call.”

Wen Yanqing could not hide the smile on his face when he saw her turn around to make a call.

Lin Gantang decided to stay and dialed Mr. Lin’s number.

Mr. Lin energetically asked if she was back.

“Yanqing is sick, so I’m at his house. I won’t be going back tonight.”

“Not coming back?” Mr. Lin paused for a moment before saying, “What’s wrong with Yanqing? Has he been seen by a doctor?”

“Yes; it’s just a normal fever.”

“Oh.”

“Then I’ll hang up first. Dad, rest early.”

Mr. Lin thought for a moment and still had something to say, but the call had been disconnected.

Mr. Lin was speechless.

He had mixed feelings—the daughter that he had raised had finally run off to someone else’s house.

He thought, “Forget it. 1 should be contented. In the past, my daughter did not even say a word when she did not come home.

“Tsk, thinking about it this way, after Gantang got together with Yanqing, she became much more sensible. Don’t worry; it’s okay. I’ve already picked a date for them.”

Mr. Lin placed his hands behind his back and paced a few steps. He thought he should take advantage of her absence to secretly have a few glasses.

After making the call, Lin Gantang put down her phone and sat back on the sofa. She peeled an apple and handed it to Wen Yanqing. “Eat some fruit. You have to drink more water if you have a fever.”

Wen Yanqing took the apple. Lin Gantang wiped the juice off her fingertips and suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, I should go back. I don’t even have clothes. How will 1 change later?”

“Didn’t you wear mine last time?” Wen Yanqing mumbled as he bit down on the apple.

“I specially bought you clothes to leave at my house. Didn’t you think of preparing some for me?” Lin Gantang asked.

He did, but he just didn’t want to buy it. Wen Yanqing said, “Wear mine.”

“What should 1 wear tomorrow when I go out?”

“Then don’t go out.”

Lin Gantang felt that he was being a bit of a scoundrel, so she pressed him down and asked fiercely, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Wen Yanqing felt that her fierce glare was rather cute, so he hooked his arm around her and kissed her.

“I’m not going to argue with you.” Lin Gantang jumped off the sofa. “I’m going to take a shower.”

After saying that, she rummaged through his closet and finally chose the white shirt she had previously worn.

Just as Lin Gantang was about to go, she heard Wen Yanqing’s voice. “Go to my room to take a shower. The hot water tap in the guest room is spoiled..”
