Rose Manor

After living there for a few days, Shen Jianian never met her neighbors. She didn't know whether the family living next door was a family or a single person like her. She didn't know whether she was a man or a woman. However, she did meet several staff members who were moving things. Quite big.

Thanks to Shen Jianian's efforts, the new home gradually became warm and cozy. She also bought a lot of kitchen utensils and recipes, and planned to study cooking in her free time. Ordering takeout every day was too unhealthy.

But she fell ill before she could practice it.

The reason was that she went downstairs to throw away the trash the night before. She wore a down jacket over her home clothes. She planned to go home after throwing out the trash. Unexpectedly, she found a stray cat in the community.

When the cold winter comes, these stray animals are particularly worrying. Regardless of the issue of food and drink, where to sleep is also an issue.

Shen Jianian first went around to the supermarket in the community to buy cat food, canned food and mineral water. He poured the cat food on the plastic bag and called the cat to come over and eat.

The cat was black and white, dirty, and had vegetable leaves hanging from its beard. It had been picked in an unknown trash can.

It was very vigilant. It looked at Shen Jia Nian and then at the cat food on the bag, but did not come to eat.

Shen Jianian realized it, opened the can and poured it next to the cat food, then filled the can with mineral water, stood up and took a few steps back.

The cat meowed, tentatively approached, and devoured the food.

Shen Jia Nian was worried about where the cat would go tonight. It was definitely not possible to take it home. It was so defensive and would not cooperate. In recent days, the temperature at night could reach more than ten degrees below zero. If you sleep outside, you might freeze to death.

She thought for a while, then went back upstairs to find a cardboard box, laid a blanket inside, sealed it with tape, and dug a round hole in the side with a paper knife to make a simple cat nest. , take it downstairs.

The cat has disappeared. She placed the cat's nest in the flower bed where the cat has been. When it comes back here, it should find a place to hide.

Shen Jia Nian tossed back and forth, feeling a little hot until midnight.

Her resistance is really no better than before.

Before his new home could prepare some commonly used cold medicine, Shen Jia Nian got up, poured a cup of hot water and drank it, then got into the quilt and wrapped himself tightly, sweating all over, maybe it would be better.

Until dawn, Shen Jia Nian touched her forehead. It was still very hot. She felt so tired that it was difficult to get up. She bought a bunch of cold medicine on her mobile phone and asked an errand to deliver it.

She still had to get up, she wanted to go to the toilet.

When Shen Jia Nian got up with difficulty and moved to the bathroom, he discovered a tragic thing - she was on her period.

No wonder there was a dull pain in her lower abdomen. She thought it was a symptom of a cold.

After handling the emergency situation, Shen Jia Nian fell into bed as if dead.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, the doorbell rang. She dragged her tired body to answer the call. When she learned that she was running errands, she unlocked the access control downstairs and opened the door to wait for someone.

The wind blowing from the corridor was biting and cold. Shen Jia Nian shrank and quickly closed the door. It was better to wait until someone came before opening it. She was so weak now.

A second before the door was completely closed, someone passed by in the corridor. With steady footsteps, he opened the door next door and walked in.

At the same time, the elevator door opened, and the errand boy came over and knocked on the door of No. 2602: "Hello, is this Ms. Shen? Your purchase has arrived."

Shen Jianian opened the door again, gathered the shawl around him, and took the plastic bag: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The errand boy smiled, "I wish you a speedy recovery."

Shen Jia Nian had no strength, weakly pulled the corners of his mouth and closed the door.

The moment she closed the door, the ajar door next door opened, and the man who walked out called out to the errand boy who was waiting for the elevator: "What did she buy?"

The errand boy looked at this tall and straight man with extraordinary bearing and was confused.

"I just heard you wish her a speedy recovery," the man said.

The errand boy didn't think he was a bad guy. Judging from the position he walked over, he should also be a resident on this floor: "The lady bought a bag of cold medicine."

The man frowned, why was she sick again.

When the elevator arrived, the errand boy held his mobile phone in one hand and pointed inside with the other: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The man turned back and passed by the door of Shen Jianian's house. His eyes stayed on it for a few seconds and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

He went back to the next door and opened the refrigerator. It was full of ingredients delivered by someone. There was no shortage of fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, and milk. What was missing was chefs who knew how to cook. Today was Saturday. If he hadn't been thinking about her and came over early in the morning to see the layout of the house, he might not have known about her illness.

It was only after seven o'clock. Shen Jia Nian must have not had breakfast. How could he bear to take medicine without eating something to fill his stomach? Her physique is far worse than that of ordinary people. She also suffers from allergies. I wonder if she can take the medicines she bought...

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. I wanted to knock on the door next door and talk to someone when I saw him.

But he restrained the impulse, rubbed his brows, took out his mobile phone and called Aunt Cheng.

Shen Jia Nian took the antipyretic medicine and crawled onto the bed to continue sleeping. The pain in her lower abdomen continued, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't sleep at all.

I never had such severe pain during my period before. I wonder if it was because I caught a cold last night.

Shen Jianian huddled up in a ball under the quilt, with her hands on her abdomen. She didn't know how long it had been before she heard a knock on the door. She thought she was dreaming.

After a while, the crisp sound of "dong dong" was heard again.

Shen Jianian lifted the quilt covering his head, and the knock on the door became clearer.

She struggled for a moment and slowly went to open the door, forgetting to even take a look in the door mirror first.

There was no one outside the door. There was a wooden tray on the ground. There were three casseroles on the tray, one large and two small, all covered with lids. There was also a pair of chopsticks and a spoon.

Shen Jianian leaned out half of his body in confusion, looked around, but saw no one. Finally, he squatted down and found a piece of paper in the tray, which read in neat block letters: I am your neighbor and I overheard you. Conversation with the errand boy. I know you are sick and I made a little more food. I hope you won’t find it objectionable.

With a strange and kind tone, Shen Jianian imagined an amiable aunt.

She looked next door, the door was closed.

Shen Jianian picked up the tray, closed the door with his back, and walked to the dining table. The casserole was well insulated. As soon as he opened the lid, white hot air hit his face.

The big casserole was filled with chicken soup, with Codonopsis pilosula, cordyceps flowers, red dates and the like added. In the two smaller casseroles, one contained vegetable porridge and the other contained egg custard. The portion was enough for her to eat throughout the day.

Shen Jia Nian took a bite of the egg custard and let out a sigh of relief when the tip of his tongue was burned.

When she took the second bite, she was suddenly stunned. Was this really a little extra? Why did she feel like she was making a sick meal specially for patients?

Shen Jia Nian ate the entire egg custard with suspicion and drank a small bowl of chicken soup. She didn't touch the porridge because she really couldn't eat it.

She found a white casserole from the kitchen cabinet, poured the remaining chicken soup into it, and put the porridge in a crisper, so she could heat it up and eat it when she was hungry.

Shen Jianian cleaned the neighbor's tableware and knocked on the door next door, wanting to express his gratitude in person.

She knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. There must be no one at home.

She looked down at the tray in her hand. Could it be that her neighbor was a snail girl?

Shen Jianian was amused by his own thoughts, shook his head, returned to his house, put the tray on the table, secretly thinking that he could only find another opportunity to send it over.

When she knocked on the door just now, Fu Jichen was standing in the entrance hall, holding a cigarette in his hand, facing the dark gray door panel. He wanted to open the door and take a look at her, but he held back.

He couldn't let Shen Jia Nian know that he lived next door so quickly. With her temper, she might be angry.

Another way, another way... Fu Jichen kept repeating these four words in his heart, reminding himself to stay calm and not to rush forward.

Now that you have decided to find another way to get her back, you must do it.

After smoking a cigarette, Fu Jichen calmed down a bit, walked to the living room, picked up the mobile phone on the sofa and sent a message to Shen Jianian.

Fu Jichen: "Have you eaten?"

Shen Jia Nian didn't reply, as he expected.

Fu Jichen: "It's been cold lately, please keep warm and don't catch a cold."

Fu Jichen: "Call me if you need anything and take care of yourself."
