Chapter - 10 - Shame and Embarrassment

"Why are you being so polite with him? It's easy for him to clean up your clothes together. Take out your thermometer, it's been enough time." 

Before Yi Minghuan could respond, Doctor Zhang next to him waved his hand, telling him to work quickly, and asked her to take out the thermometer. 

After taking out the thermometer and handing it to Dr. Zhang, she kept paying attention to Yi Minghuan's movements with squinted eyes. He was packing up her clothes, when he paused for a moment, then looked at herself. His eyes held a lot of doubt in it. 

He obviously found that the undershirt was missing, and he was asking her where it was with his eyes!

At this moment, Tang Li was very thankful that she had a fever and her face was already red. But she was still very embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Tang Li was ashamed to say that she didn't dare to look at him again. She quickly lowered her head, grabbed her chopsticks, and continued to bury her head in her meal, praying in her heart that Lin Hongrui would never ask her where his undershirt was because of Dr. Zhang's presence. 

Fortunately, Yi Minghuan didn't ask, but tied the bags together and threw them into the bag. 

"39.5 degrees. The fever is very high. You need to drink more water. I will prescribe some antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs for you. Take them on time." Dr. Zhang stood up and went to the medicine cabinet to get the medicine.

Yi Minghuan came over, stood beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Have you worn the undershirt?" 

Tang Li, "...um." 

She buried her head down even more and mumbled, even her neck turned red from embarrassment. 

He didn't ask any more questions, but gave her a slightly strange look, as if wondering how she could wear it. 

Feeling his gaze on her she felt that she could spontaneously combust. At this moment, she was very grateful and thankful that he didn't talk much, otherwise she would have died of embarrassment. 

"Here is the medicine for you to take. Minghuan is back now, let him work. You can have a good rest, work less, drink more water, and eat better." Doctor Zhang gave her two tablets of medicine to take two times a day.

"Uncle Zhang, thank you. This is the consultation fee, medicine fee, and your egg money and, sesame oil money." Yi Minghuan took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Dr. Zhang. 

"Where did you use so much stuff!" Dr. Zhang gave him two cents back.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, I really troubled you today! I'll dig up some more amaranth and bring it to you another day. It's delicious for making pancakes." Tang Li thanked him gratefully. 

Doctor Zhang responded ok with a smile. 

Yi Minghuan cleaned the bowls and chopsticks for Dr. Zhang and put them back where they were before returning home with Tang Li. 

She was full and felt strong, and originally wanted to walk home by herself, but after walking for a while, Yi Minghuan felt that she was panting and struggling to walk, so he carried her on his back again. 

"My mother-in-law said that I stole eggs in the morning, but I really didn't eat them. She didn't believe me, so she beat me. I was really touched when I saw the bowl of egg soup just now, thank you. I, I haven't eaten an egg for many years already." Tang Li whispered on his back, the last sentence was for the original owner, and she felt that the original owner was so pitiful. 

Yi Minghuan frowned slightly, paused his steps, and said, "I believe you didn't steal it." 

"You are such a good person!" She thanked him very gratefully with a warm smile for his trust, "Thank you for trusting me!"

When they reached the door of the house, they pushed open the courtyard door, and he walked in with her on his back.

As soon as he put her down, Gu Xiulan rushed over with a fierce look and a broom in her hand....
