Love Syndrome (Day/Itt) - Book 2 (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 38

After lying on the sofa for a while, Day noticed there was a small hand resting on his forehead. When he opened his eyes and looked up, Day smiled a little.

"What's wrong, Salmon?" Day asked his nephew.

"Uncle Itt asked me to check your temperature, Uncle Day," Salmon said.

"How am I, Doctor Salmon?" Day asked Salmon while smiling at him.

"Uncle Day, you still got a fever..." Salmon said when he felt Day's forehead because it was still hot.

"Well, what should I do?" Day asked. Salmon tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"I will need to ask Uncle Itt first to see what we should do next," Salmon said before rushing into the kitchen to ask Itt. Day smiled slightly, but he continued to lay down on the sofa without sitting up. After a while, Itt came out of the kitchen with Salmon. He sat down on the sofa where Day was lying.

"Day, are you okay?" Itt asked in a stressed voice.

"Yes, I'm fine. What are you worrying about, hmm?" Day asked with a smile as he raised his and lightly caressed Itt's rosy cheeks.

"Normally, when you wake up the next morning, you would have recovered already. Besides, last night you... well... transferred your fever already. Why haven't you recovered yet?" He lowered his voice at the end of his sentence because Salmon was sitting beside him. Itt didn't want Salmon to ask because he wouldn't know how to answer.

"Hmm... I'm just an ordinary person. I'm not superhuman. Getting sick is normal. How soon you recover depends on your physical condition, at that time," Day explained because he didn't want Itt to worry too much about him.

"Okay, you can eat some food and take some medicine. After that, get you some sleep so you can get better soon," Itt said again before turning to Salmon.

"Salmon, don't disturb Uncle Day today... You need to let Uncle Day get plenty of rest. Do you understand?" Itt told his nephew.

"Hmm," Salmon acknowledged.

"Okay, I will stay with Day. Salmon, go tell Uncle Gear to bring out a bowl of congee," Itt told his nephew. Salmon nodded in acknowledgment before rushing into the kitchen. Before long, Gear came out carrying a bowl of congee.

"Where is Salmon?" Itt asked about his nephew's whereabouts.

"Night is having him eat in the kitchen so that he won't come out and bother you two," Gear said while placing the bowl of congee on the table beside the sofa.

"Okay, I will take Day up to the bedroom to rest. Would it be okay for Salmon to play downstairs? Today, I will leave Salmon to you and Night to take care of. I'll take care of Day," Itt told his best friend.

"Okay, you don't have to worry. I'll keep an eye on him," Gear said back.

"Day, sit up and eat the congee first," Itt told his lover. Gear walked back into the kitchen. Day slowly sits up. Itt brings the bowl of congee over to Day, but Day wouldn't accept it. Itt gave him a look of confusion.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Itt asked.

"You told me you'd take care of me, didn't you?" Day asked in a calm voice.

"Yes," Itt answered.

"So, don't you think you should feed me? Or are you going to make me eat by myself, Itt?" Day asked, causing Itt to pause a bit.

"Would you like for me to feed you? ...uh... okay," Itt asked in a quiet voice. He felt embarrassed when having to do something like this for Day. Usually, it is almost always Day taking care of him. When he sits down and thinks more about this, Itt thinks Day wants him to do this. Itt is ready to do it. Itt leaned over to scoop out a bit of rice from the bowl of congee. He blew on it slightly to cool it off before slowly holding the food up to Day's mouth. Day smiled slightly in satisfaction. He opened his mouth to accept the rice that Itt was offering to him. As Itt feeds him the porridge, Day looks at his face without looking away.
