343, just secretly rejoice

Song Zhen gazed at her tender, pink face, both sympathetic and wistful, "Alright, you've arranged everyone you needed to, now, get into bed and sleep."

Gu Xinzhou, feeling sticky all over after her fever had subsided, whispered, "I'd like to take a shower."

Song Zhen grabbed her hand anxiously, gently asking, "You're sick. What if you catch a cold from the shower, or what if you faint? It would be terrible. Let me help you bathe instead!"

Gu Xinzhou quickly withdrew her hand, "Then I'd rather not bathe!"

A flash of disappointment flickered in Song Zhen's eyes, "Well, I don't mind either way."

McDull had already fallen asleep.

Song Zhen made a bed on the floor next to the bed and placed McDull on it.

Because Gu Xinzhou was afraid of infecting McDull, though she showed no symptoms of a cold, she still took great care of McDull.

Taking off the Golden Guanyin necklace, she smiled and handed it to Song Zhen, "You put it on McDull, it's the gift you gave to the kids."
