Chapter 17 - Fever
"Chen Hang, Chen Hang?"
I lifted my face from my folded arms in a bit of a daze, accompanied by a sore swelling in my back.
Did I fall asleep just now?
The sound of classmates playing in my ears gradually became clear and audible, and in front of me was Luo Zhuowei who was holding her homework book, as if she couldn't help laughing, and there was a smile in her eyes that met me: "You forgot to hand in your English homework."
Her innocent and upright face was completely different from the one in my dream, whose face was flushed, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and even the corners of her mouth were flushed.
"No, I'm sorry." I could hardly tell if it was a dream or a reality, but luckily the conditioned reflexes that I had cultivated over the years made my movements and behaviors seem to be normal.
I pulled out my homework book, which was pressed by the math book, and handed it to her: “Here.”
Then I got up from my seat and rushed into the toilet with a swift pace, almost running away.
Am I worse than a beast?
I propped my hands on the sink and looked in the mirror, almost startled by the reddened corners of my eyes and the glow of shame in the mirror.
The disgust he had for himself almost reached the peak of his short seventeen-year-old life at this moment.
I dreamed of my classmates, and I did a lot of unspeakable things to her.
The most excessive thing is the physiological reaction, my rationality that was awakened from that lustful dream is still undergoing a deep review, but the body has completely betrayed the brain, and the spirit is completely difficult to ignore, even to the point of making people feel angry.
I really want to hit my head and die.
I remorsefully washed my face three times with cold water, then locked myself in a private room, leaning against the door and waiting for the urge to pass.
The worst thing is that the sensory nerves have been boiling by a constant heat, like a frog that has been put into warm water, anxious and helpless.
Why can't you calm down a little if you're so incompetent?
I grinded my teeth hatefully and put my hand on the back of my neck to move my sore neck, but I was burned by the temperature I felt in my palm.
No, normally I don’t seem to be so excited that I get hot like this, right?
When I think about it, I feel a little dizzy, and my breath is hot…
I took a deep breath and wondered how long I would have to wait in this damn private room, and then when I had calmed down, I will skip class and go straight to the school doctor's office.
The thermometer showed: 37.8C.
"A little fever." The school doctor looked at the numbers on the thermometer, sat back at the desk and took out the leave form in the drawer, and filled in the case on the reason for the leave, "A lot of people have caught colds in autumn recently, and in order to prevent students from infecting each other, we can't leave you in the infirmary for intravenous drips.”
I took the form and put it in the pocket of my coat: "It's okay.”
Looking at the case on the fake note, the words of the diagnosis made me feel more and more the cause of this fever, and I was really unwilling to return to the classroom. After coming out of the infirmary, I took the leave form to the head teacher, and then left the school gate and took a taxi directly to the hospital.
Looking at the street scene that quickly passed by outside the car window, and the half of my face propped up on the side was reflected in the window. I closed my eyes and felt a little headache, feeling extremely guilty and ashamed of this sudden fever.
Because I understand that this is probably not your average flu.
Just physiological heat.
