Mo Lingqiu slept for the whole morning. When he dizzily opened his eyes, he noticed that Jiang Chenming was sitting by the bed looking at his phone. His fingers quickly tapped on the screen. Mo Lingqiu wondered who he was talking to.

“I…” Mo Lingqiu started. He realized that the nasality of his voice was strong and sniffed once. He had the flu.

Jiang Chenming immediately averted his gaze from where he was sending messages on his phone toward Mo Lingqiu when he heard his voice. “Teacher, you’re awake? Do you feel better?”

Mo Lingqiu shook his head. The flu symptoms were still serious. It had only been a morning. His nose was on fire and it was even difficult to just breathe.

Jiang Chenming placed his palm on his forehead to check the temperature. Luckily he didn’t have a fever. “Teacher Mo, I’ll go make medicine for you.”

Mo Lingqiu pursed his lips before moodily answering ‘en’. He had been getting sick at a high frequency recently. Was it because he was slacking off from exercising?

Jiang Chenming carried warm medicine and a dozen pills into the room. “Dr. Fan prescribed this medicine after I asked him to.”

“…Thank you.” Mo Lingqiu said with an airy tone.

“Drink it later when it’s still hot.” Jiang Chenming placed the hot bowl onto the bedside table. “Teacher Mo, our Mala Hotpot plans tonight may need to be cancelled.”

Mo Lingqiu’s expression was initially cold. When he heard what Jiang Chenming said, his hands in the blanket tightly clutched the cloth.

Jiang Chenming noticed that he had suddenly become unhappy and quickly tried to mollify him. “When you feel better, we’ll go out and eat authentic Mala Hotpot.”

Mo Lingqiu deliberated for a minute. He loosened his grip, took the bowl of medicine from the table, and then finished drinking it in one gulp.

“Teacher, you’ve been getting sick often recently. I’m a bit worried, so I used your phone to contact Doctor Bao Wen.” Jiang Chenming said seriously, “Doctor Bao Wen said it might be side effects from the unstable pheromones you had a while ago.”

“En.” Mo Lingqiu nodded. He wasn’t surprised at the news. He more or less knew that there would be side effects like that.

“Dr. Bao Wen said that you shouldn’t be worried. Just exercise like usual.” Jiang Chenming conveyed the message clearly.

“En.” Mo Lingqiu indeed planned to return to his daily routine after he recovered from the flu. He would go for a jog every night. If he continued to slack off, his body would get old quicker than it was meant to.

Jiang Chenming then continued, “I’ll go with you from now on. Let’s go jogging.”

“Before that… I don’t jog on the school campus.” Mo Lingqiu initially wanted to confess that the place he usually jogged was the place they had met each other for the first time, but he ended up changing his words.

“No problem. I can go with you.”

“Okay.” Mo Lingqiu didn’t object. It was fine if he wanted to come with him. Since he would even have someone accompanying him while jogging, he would also avoid facing awkward situations like their first meeting.

Because Mo Lingqiu was sick, he could only eat light and bland meals. Jiang Chenming made a vegetable soup and fried some potato strips, trying to make them as light as possible.
