A foreign city, dear you

Chapter 192 It’s over, shingles?

Cao Xueqian gently covered Ye Lian with a quilt. Looking at Ye Lian's pale face due to pain, he felt very ashamed: "Honey, I'm sorry, I can't help at all."

"It's not your fault." Ye Lian smiled weakly: "I feel better about myself, and you have been taking care of me today."

Cao Xueqian turned off the light and got into bed from the other side.

He habitually stretched out his hands to hug Ye Lian, which frightened Ye Lian and shouted: "Don't touch me!"

Cao Xueqian quickly retracted his hand and said obediently: "Okay, then I won't touch you, can I just look at you like this?"

Ye Lian didn't reply, just pursed her lips and smiled softly, thinking: Just pretend, isn't it okay? Am I still not allowed to look at it?

It was actually more difficult for Ye Lian to lie on the bed. She felt that her whole back was as heavy as a stone and she couldn't move.

She lay straight, neither daring to the left nor the right, like a stone slab, working extremely hard, but could only remain motionless.

"Don't you feel better at all?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"Yes." Ye Lian replied softly.

"We'll see how things go tomorrow." Cao Xueqian said, "If it doesn't get better, I still have to go to the hospital. If I delay, I'm afraid it will delay my condition."

Ye Lian didn't say yes or not. She wanted to get better, but she didn't want to go to the hospital.

The whole night, Ye Lian was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep. She kept her eyes open and waited for dawn.

Next to her, Cao Xueqian snored slightly.

At dawn, Ye Lian wanted to get up because lying in bed was too hard.

She didn't want to wake Cao Xueqian and wanted to try to hold herself up.

But Cao Xueqian originally slept on his side facing Ye Lian. As soon as Ye Lian made any movement, he would wake up immediately.

"Are you about to get up?" Cao Xueqian asked.

Ye Lian nodded.

Cao Xueqian rolled out of bed, then bowed beside the bed, turned himself into a "pommel horse", stretched his neck, and said to Ye Lian: "Come, put your arms around your husband's neck and let him hang you up."

"Are you a crane?" Ye Lian chuckled.

"Well, your exclusive crane." Cao Xueqian replied with a smile.

Cao Xueqian felt very sorry for not helping Ye Lian go to bed last night, so he hoped that he could help Ye Lian get up.

Ye Lian hugged Cao Xueqian's neck obediently.

But when Cao Xueqian exerted force on his neck, Ye Lian cried out in pain again.

The force from Cao Xueqian's neck was transmitted to Ye Lian's waist through her arms, causing her "water belt" filled with "pain water" to sway, causing waves of dull pain.

"No, it hurts. I'd better do it myself." Ye Lian let go of Cao Xueqian's neck again.

Cao Xueqian was so helpless that he had to stand up and watch uneasily.

Ye Lian slowly moved her buttocks, first moving her lower body to the edge of the bed, and then her whole body slowly slid down the bed.

Cao Xueqian couldn't help but stretched out his hand to help Ye Lian, but Ye Lian stopped him repeatedly and said, "I'd better do it by myself, so I can control my strength better."

Ye Lian supported the edge of the bed with her hands, and then supported the bedside table. She used strength in this way and finally stood up.

Ye Lian stood up. Although it was still very painful, it still felt easier than lying on the bed.

"Do I look embarrassed and ugly when I wake up?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian with a wry smile.

Cao Xueqian was unhappy and blamed Ye Lian: "What are you thinking about? Seeing you like this makes me feel very sad. You still say such things?"

Seeing that Cao Xueqian was really angry, Ye Lian stopped talking.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Cao Xueqian asked.

Ye Lian shook her head and said she didn't sleep all night last night.

"Then why didn't you wake me up to accompany you?" Cao Xueqian blamed Ye Lian.

"How is it possible? I didn't sleep all night, and it also caused you to stay up all night? It's not necessary. It's useless for you to stay awake with me." Ye Lian said softly.

Although Ye Lian tried hard to comfort Cao Xueqian, Cao Xueqian still blamed himself.

He was originally lying on his side facing Ye Lian, wanting to look at Ye Lian and accompany her, but at some point, he actually fell asleep and slept until dawn.

But how could Ye Lian blame him?

She knew that he was very sleepy and he was the kind of person who would fall asleep instantly as soon as he touched the pillow. Even if he wanted to wake up, the sleepy person wouldn't let him, and besides, it was really unnecessary.

"Aren't you feeling better?" Cao Xueqian asked.

Ye Lian shook her head: "It still hurts."

"Then we have to go to the hospital." Cao Xueqian said.

"But what's the use of going there? Even if I go through all kinds of tests, I'm afraid I still can't find anything wrong." Ye Lian has no confidence in the hospital.

Cao Xueqian advised Ye Lian: "Don't be willful. If there is no investigation, you just say it's useless. If you delay like this, you are afraid of causing a serious illness."

"What about Shanshan? Are you going to the hospital with us? He's a little worried at home alone."

"Well," Cao Xueqian thought for a moment and said, "I'll go down and talk to 13B and ask them to help take care of him for a day."

"Okay then." Ye Lian finally made up her mind.

"That's right." Cao Xueqian succeeded in persuading him and immediately took action: "Then I'll wake Shanshan up and get something to eat."

Cao Xueqian said and walked out of the bedroom. When he arrived at the bedroom door, he told Ye Lian: "Call me if you need anything."

Ye Lian nodded.

But there are some things that there is no use asking Cao Xueqian to do. You have to do it slowly by yourself.

Ye Lian wanted to move slowly to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

She suddenly felt a little itchy in her lower back, so she reached out to touch it.

The touch was nothing, it startled her.

She felt a big blister!

She nervously touched other parts of her waist and found a circle of blisters!

Ye Lian's first reaction was: This is incredible! I have shingles!

Thinking of this, Ye Lian suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Because Ye Lian has heard of herpes zoster, it has frightening nicknames: shingles, snake sores, spider sores...

I heard that the pain of this disease is like pulling a knife on the body, or like putting the body on a flame to roast...

No matter what kind of pain method it is, it makes people's hair stand on end with fear just thinking about it.

If it were really shingles, it would be worse than death.

Although Ye Lian had been in pain for several days, she had not panicked yet, but now, this circle of blisters made Ye Lian panic.

"Qian——" Ye Lian endured the pain and shouted: "I have shingles!"

Ye Lian's voice was filled with tears and fear.

Maybe the pain these days is just a prelude to herpes zoster? The real severe pain hasn't started to show its force yet?

Oh, what can I do? It will hurt me to death...
