The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

I'm allergic to peanuts

Gu Tingyin held the dinner plate and obediently followed behind Shen Zhijin.

The meals on the second floor of the cafeteria are slightly more expensive, and there are many choices of meals, so relatively speaking, it is much cleaner than the first floor.

Seeing that Shen Zhijin took a small portion of crispy meat, she hurriedly took one.

Seeing that he took a small portion of green vegetables, she followed suit.

Seeing that Shen Zhijin took a small bowl of soup, she also put a portion on the plate.

Shen Zhijin turned back and saw that she had the same choice of meals on her plate as hers, and raised her hand to put all the meals on her plate back one by one.

"Hey--"

Gu Tingyin turned around quickly, nervously protecting her last small bowl of fried vegetables,

"Didn't you agree to eat together?"

If he eats, she sees, what is it called to eat together!

This was their first meal together!

Shen Zhijin glanced at her quietly, and finally let her keep the green vegetables.

Gu Tingyin breathed a sigh of relief, and happily sat opposite him with the small bowl of green vegetables.

Although there were few people on the second floor, all of them looked this way with different expressions.

Gu Tingyin didn't mind at all.

She looked at the bowl of green vegetables in front of her and was very happy.

"Shen Zhijin, is this what you like to eat?"

Shen Zhijin paused, but did not answer her question, just looked into her eyes, and said softly:

"The Xijing Academy of Fine Arts is quite far from here."

The smile on her face suddenly froze.

Of course she understood what he meant.

Meeting his calm eyes, she felt a little panic in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head and took a mouthful of green vegetables.

"Alright, alright, I think the food here is better."

Shen Zhijin didn't even dare to lift her head when she saw her hurriedly eating food.

The eyebrows were slightly condensed, and there was a moment of hesitation in the words hidden in the throat.

But only for a moment.

It can't be like this anymore, every time she comes over, he has to stop everything in his hand.

Whether he is preparing for a meeting, reading literature, or even doing experiments.

He has always been serious and rigorous, and is used to having everything in good order and with extreme precision.

But once she appeared, all plans were disrupted.

This feeling of being frequently broken inertia is very unfamiliar, like something is getting out of control.

He doesn't like the feeling, so the best option is to stop in time, correct it, and get back on track.

"What happened before is just a little effort, but since you insist on thanking you, after this meal, we will be clear between us."

Gu Tingyin made a move.

It turned out that he agreed to have dinner with her just to say these things to her.

It turned out that he wanted to clear things up.

She still lowered her head, because she was still biting the green vegetable in her mouth, and her voice sounded a little vague:

"It's a small effort... Then if it was someone else, would you do the same?"

Shen Zhijin was stunned.

Because he suddenly discovered that with him, there is no if.

He never imagined that if Gu Tingyin was replaced by someone else.

However, this moment of silence was tacitly understood by Gu Tingyin.

The chest seemed to be blocked by something, and it was so oppressive that it even became difficult to breathe.

She suddenly put down the chopsticks with a sound, neither light nor heavy.

Shen Zhijin frowned slightly.

Is what he just said too much?

He saw Gu Tingyin's eyebrows twitched, her thick curled eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her breathing became a little short.

Like crying?

Shen Zhijin's hand tightened slightly, and for some reason, his heart seemed to be pulled hard by something.

"you--"

He just opened his head, thinking about how to continue this conversation, when he suddenly saw Gu Tingyin raise his head.

Her porcelain-white face was flushed red, but her lips were pale, and she pressed one hand to her chest, gasping for breath.

Shen Zhijin immediately realized that something was wrong.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Gu Tingyin was extremely distressed, with tears in her eyes, while breathing hard, she said in a hoarse voice:

"...peanut oil...in vegetables...I-I'm allergic to peanuts..."

Shen Zhijin's heart sank suddenly.

Gu Tingyin was severely allergic to peanuts, and she was sent to the hospital because of this when she was a child.

Since then, there has been no peanut-related food on the Gu family's table.

Even the whole family, inside and out, is not even allowed to appear in the shape of peanuts.

Over time, she didn't pay that much attention to it.

So much so that when she came to eat on the second floor today, she forgot to ask what oil they used!

Her face and neck also started to itch.

She couldn't help but grab it, but before she touched it, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly.

Shen Zhijin didn't know when he came to her side and held her hand.

She looked up with tears in her eyes, struggling to breathe and feeling exhausted.

"Shen Zhijin..."

The next moment, she felt her body suddenly vacate, and her whole body fell into a solid and cool embrace.

The cold voice tapped her eardrums and beat her heart.

"I'll take you to the hospital."

...

"Fortunately, it was delivered in time. The patient's condition is stable now, but he still needs to be hospitalized for a day of observation."

The doctor raised his finger,

"Go downstairs to do the formalities."

Shen Zhijin breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank you doctor."

He subconsciously glanced at the ward.

The door was closed, no one could be seen.

The doctor couldn't help but reproach:

"Young man, I didn't tell you that your girlfriend is seriously allergic to peanuts. Why don't you take care of it? Look at the little girl this time, how much you suffer!"

Shen Zhijin pursed his lips slightly.

"……sorry."

"What did you say I'm sorry? You should go and tell your girlfriend!"

The doctor shook his head,

"go quickly!"

Shen Zhijin nodded, and just turned around when the doctor called him again:

"By the way, you can stop by and buy some fruits with high vitamin C content, which can help patients recover."

He answered.

...

When Shen Zhijin returned to the ward, he saw that Gu Tingyin was lying on the hospital bed with a small mirror in his hand, looking left and right.

She sighed worriedly.

Hey.

She had a severe allergic reaction and had red spots on her face and body.

Although it has slowed down now, he must have seen it before.

Footsteps came from behind.

"Feeling better?"

Reflexively, she quickly hid the small mirror and lifted the quilt to bury herself.

Shen Zhijin: "..."

He put the things on the closet.

It seemed to be much better, but when he remembered how she looked when she fell ill, he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

"The doctor said that you need to stay in the hospital for a day of observation, I'll help you ask your counselor for a leave later, you—"

"what!"

Gu Tingyin jumped out of the quilt and widened her eyes.

Shen Zhijin thought she was afraid of a person, paused, and said:

"I'm here with you."

Gu Tingyin quickly shook her head and grabbed his hand:

"No! I mean, if you want to ask for leave for me, don't say I have a peanut allergy!"

Shen Zhijin's eyes drooped slightly, and he glanced at the soft, pale hand she was holding tightly to him. For some reason, the hot touch came again.

He tilted his head slightly, but still didn't break free after all, only asked:

"why?"

Why?

Gu Tingyin was about to cry.

If this matter spreads to the family, the family will be killed if they fail to protect it!

After all, she has only been in school for half a month!

"I-I'm afraid that my family will be worried. Well, why don't you wait and say, I have a cold or a fever? Anyway, I can say anything, just don't say I'm allergic!"

Shen Zhijin was silent for a moment.

None of these statements seems to be able to reasonably explain the fact that he came out of the cafeteria with her in his arms.

Gu Tingyin grabbed his hand and prayed:

"is it good?"

He finally responded in a low voice:

"Um."

Gu Tingyin let out a long sigh of relief, then let go of his hand and lay back again.

"Whoo—that's fine, that's fine..."

The soft touch was separated, and he suddenly felt that somewhere in his heart seemed to be empty.

But this emotion just flashed by, and he looked at her face.

It seems to be much better...

Gu Tingyin met his gaze, suddenly exclaimed, lifted the quilt again, and covered herself.

Shen Zhijin: "..."

"I bought you some fruit, do you want to eat it?"

The quilt shook, as if shaking her head, and her voice was muffled:

"Don't eat."

"Aren't you bored?"

"It's not boring! I'm very good!"

"..."

No matter how Shen Zhijin persuaded her, she would not come out of the quilt.

But she just finished the desensitization treatment, how can she be stuck in the quilt like this?

"come out."

"No! I'm asleep!"

Shen Zhijin ran out patiently.

He grabbed the quilt with one hand.

She tried her best to pull, but she couldn't fight him, and finally he dug it out of the quilt.

She covered her face.

"Don't look!"

Shen Zhijin finally understood what she was worried about, and was both angry and funny for a while.

"It's alright," he said.

Gu Tingyin looked at him through her fingers and was suspicious.

"real?"

"Really." Shen Zhijin paused slightly, "Didn't you already look in the mirror just now?"

Gu Tingyin's face instantly flushed.

No, there is nothing more embarrassing than this...

She stammered:

"Then, that mirror is too small! There are so many I can't see!"

Shen Zhijin looked at her again:

"It's really good."

Only then did Gu Tingyin calm down a little, but she was still afraid that he was just comforting herself.

She thought for a while, turned sideways, pushed her waist-length hair to one side, tilted her head slightly, pulled down her collar, and pointed to the position slightly behind her neck:

"Then, is there no more here? I still feel a little itchy."

Her movements were sudden, and the delicate white light suddenly broke into his eyes.

Shen Zhijin's heart skipped a beat, and without thinking about it, he pulled the curtain between the beds, blocking the sight of the two patients and the bed companion behind him.

Hearing the sound, Gu Tingyin looked at him strangely.

"Why—hey, Shen Zhijin, are you hot?"

He staggered his eyes, but the scene just now was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

His Adam's apple rolled.

"No."

She looked at the tips of his reddish ears, thought for a moment, and finally looked at the oranges on the bedside.

"Is that because you went to buy this for me just now?"

Shen Zhijin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Um."

Gu Tingyin laughed:

"Thank you! Although I like peaches the most, oranges also—"

"I'll buy it for you."
