Ji Ruan developed the fever the next morning.
At 5:40 in the morning, Gu Xiuyi got up as usual to warm up and exercise. At that time, Ji Ruan was still in good condition, sleeping soundly under the quilt, and when Gu Xiuyi came to kiss him, he would subconsciously pout and cooperate.
But when Gu Xiuyi's exercise was over, after washing and getting dressed, when he came to kiss Ji Ruan good morning, he found that the temperature on his face was not right.
Ji Ruan's body temperature has always been low, even if he sleeps in his arms all night, the temperature of her cheeks can barely be considered warm, but now it is obviously much higher than usual.
Gu Xiuyi secretly thought that it was not good, and quickly found out the temperature gun and dripped it on Ji Ruan's forehead. It was 38.1 degrees, and it was indeed a bit hot.
He patted Ji Ruan's cheek lightly, and sat up with his shoulders: "Ji Ruan? Baby, wake up."
Ji Ruan muttered twice, frowned and rubbed against his shoulder: "Huh?
" I could feel myself being hugged by Gu Xiuyi, but my body was sore and tired, and my eyelids were too heavy to open.
Gu Xiuyi put the external device on Ji Ruan, raised his arms to change his clothes, and coaxed him softly: "You have a little fever, let's get up and go to the hospital, okay?" It wasn't Gu Xiuyi who wanted to torment Ji Ruan early in the morning
.
Although 38 degrees is not considered a high fever, an ordinary person may be able to take some antipyretics and then go to sleep, but Ji Ruan's physique cannot be compared with others. Once he has a fever, it is not easy to get rid of it, and it may be harmful to hearing. Gu Xiuyi really didn't dare to take it lightly.
Probably the children also know how poor their physique is. Even if their cheeks are flushed with heat, they still cooperate obediently, raising their hands when asked to raise their hands, and bowing their heads when asked to lower their heads.
Gu Xiuyi briefly helped Ji Ruan wash up, took out the anti-fever sticker from the drawer, patted Ji Ruan's forehead lightly, and carried him downstairs.
Aunt Zhao listened to the morning news and got ready for breakfast, and was about to go upstairs to call Gu Xiuyi, when she saw Ji Ruan clinging to Gu Xiuyi like a little koala, with her head buried low.
"Yo, what's the matter?" She put down the plate and took a few steps forward.
Gu Xiuyi opened the stool and sat down at the dining table, put Ji Ruan on his lap and put his arms around his waist, so that he could lean on him more comfortably.
"It's okay, I have a fever," Gu Xiuyi said, "Aunt Zhao, serve me a bowl of porridge, and then call the driver over."
"Hey, good."
Aunt Zhao could only see half of Ji Ruan's face, which was glowing red , the big fever-reducing patch on his forehead presses his eyebrows, which is as painful as his friend's little granddaughter when she is sick.
Gu Xiuyi scooped up a small spoonful of porridge and put it in Ji Ruan's mouth: "Come on baby, eat a little bit of stomach pad, and then we'll see a doctor."
Ji Ruan was a little slow to react, and opened his mouth after a pause for a few seconds.
His consciousness should be clear, but he was burning badly, and he didn't have the strength to respond too much. When he swallowed slowly, his eye sockets were red, and his eyelashes were as wet as if they were soaked in water vapor.
Gu Xiuyi kissed the end of his eyes distressedly: "Is it hard, baby?"
Ji Ruan was sluggish, feeling wronged by being sick, and gave a sticky "hmm".
Gu Xiuyi felt even more sour in his heart, and patiently coaxed: "Hey, let's have another bite, shall we? Otherwise, my stomach will be uncomfortable."
After coaxing and feeding half a bowl in one bite, Ji Ruan suddenly tilted his head and frowned, and held down Gu Xiuyi's hand Panting a few times: " I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Gu Xiuyi immediately put down the spoon and supported his back: "Where is the discomfort?"
Ji Ruan shook his head and bent over to pinch the center of his brows, then covered his mouth in extreme pain and retched for two Voice.
"Do you want to vomit?" Gu Xiuyi kicked the trash can at his feet: "It's okay to vomit, baby, it won't get dirty."
He put his arms around Ji Ruan and wrapped his arms around his waist so that he wouldn't have the strength to fall down, lightly Rubbing Ji Ruan's back lightly.
Ji Ruan Subai's fingertips rested on Gu Xiuyi's forearm, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times impatiently, and finally couldn't hold back, and spat it out.
The half bowl of porridge that Gu Xiuyi worked so hard to feed was completely explained within a moment.
It is impossible to continue to eat, Ji Ruan's condition is obviously not right, even if the temperature was almost thirty-nine degrees before, it would not be so uncomfortable.
Gu Xiuyi didn't dare to delay any longer, he quickly carried Ji Ruan into the car, and told the driver to rush to the hospital as quickly as possible.
When Ji Ruan vomited, he forced out a lot of physiological tears. After getting into the car, his eyes were still bloodshot. He leaned against Gu Xiuyi's body to breathe hard, and his cheeks, which had turned red due to the fever, turned white.
Gu Xiuyi held Ji Ruan's face, forcing him to look at himself to stay awake: "Ji Ruan, Ji Ruan? How do you feel now?"
Ji Ruan couldn't tell what he was feeling.
He was dizzy and nauseous, the tendon behind his ear was hurting, and half of his scalp felt like it was going to explode.
"I..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he turned into a sob under the threat of pain: "I have a headache... woo, ear pain..."
"Ear pain?"
Seeing the slightly protruding outline of the implant under the skin of his right ear, before he had time to ask, Ji Ruan trembled like an electric shock, and avoided it in extreme pain: "Well, don't touch it!"
Gu Xiuyi's whole hand froze in place.
so painful?
Gu Xiuyi's fingertips were trembling, and his heart was clenched.
For a long while, he could only caress Ji Ruan's back of the neck, trying to keep calm: "It's okay, don't be afraid, baby, the pain will be gone soon, and it won't hurt when we get to the hospital..."
The villa is very close to the hospital, Under good road conditions, it takes less than half an hour for the driver to drive all the way, and it takes up to 20 minutes to arrive.
But Gu Xiuyi still underestimated the severity of this disease.
Ji Ruan's body temperature rose at a frightening speed, and the fever-reducing patch didn't do anything at all.
It didn't take more than an hour from waking up to being sent to the hospital, but in the end Ji Ruan was so hot that he was a little hypoxic, and his lips and fingertips began to turn purple.
The doctor immediately put Ji Ruan on an oxygen mask, used the most effective medicine to forcefully lower his body temperature, and then continued to push for a series of examinations.
Gu Xiuyi only felt that the memory after arriving in the hospital was messy. The noisy environment of the emergency department made him feel like he was in a big theater, surrounded by other people's lives. If you don't pay attention, it will slip away quietly.
So much so that after finishing the examination and entering the quiet ward, Gu Xiuyi was inexplicably overwhelmed.
It will take some time for the test results to come out. Ji Ruan is lying on the bed wearing an oxygen mask, his long eyelashes gently resting on his lower eyelids, trembling slightly as he breathes, like a beautiful butterfly that is tired from flying and needs to be fixed on his eyelashes. Rested its wings briefly.
When Ji Ruan first entered the hospital, he had a high fever to the point that his breathing and heart rate were not good. Although his body temperature was under control now, before the specific examination results came out, the doctor installed a monitor on him to monitor his vital signs in real time.
The ward was still the same ward, and Song Ling decided to decorate it as a pink princess room. Although he disliked it, Gu Xiuyi also lived in it with Ji Ruan for a long time, and he was familiar with all the displays.
But even in such a familiar and reassuring environment, Gu Xiuyi still felt terrified when he heard the ticking sound of the monitor next to his ear.
This kind of fear is not concrete, it is more like a pair of invisible hands slowly and kindly pulling Gu Xiuyi to the extremely cold place.
At noon, when the sun quietly passed over the branches of the trees, Ji Ruan tremblingly opened his eyes.
Gu Xiuyi was holding a cotton swab, and was dipping water on his lips for the third time. Seeing this, he smiled slightly, and put down the cotton swab to touch Ji Ruan's face: "Are you awake, kid?" He was as gentle as kissing Ji Ruan good morning every morning.
It was exactly the same from time to time, and there was no trace of panic from before.
As the body temperature dropped a bit, Ji Ruan's eyes were not as red as they were at first, but they were still pitifully watery, and he looked at Gu Xiuyi with blank eyes.
Before his ears hurt badly, Gu Xiuyi took off the external device for him, but now he is so confused probably because he can't hear clearly.
Gu Xiuyi put his arm through the back of Ji Ruan's neck, held him by the shoulders and let him lean on him slowly, lowered his head to his left ear and asked, "Can you hear me now?"
Ji Ruan nodded, blinking subconsciously to pull Gu Xiuyi's hand was stopped by Gu Xiuyi's wrist: "It's the infusion, be careful not to run the needle."
Ji Ruan could only give up, and lowered her eyelashes a little discouraged.
Gu Xiuyi kissed the end of his eyes to comfort him. He wanted to touch the skin behind Ji Ruan's ears, but he didn't dare to raise his hand. He barely retracted it in mid-air and landed on Ji Ruan's shoulder.
"Does the ear still hurt?"
It was indeed abnormal in the car, but it's much better now, the pain has completely disappeared, but it's still a little numb.
Ji Ruan thought for a while, then shook her head slightly.
Knock, knock-
the door of the ward was knocked twice, and Li Suian pushed the door open and entered.
At this time, the test results were almost out, but the doctor who saw Ji Ruan at the beginning was not Li Suian.
Gu Xiuyi raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"
Li Suian: "Hey, don't you want to see the little patient?"
Oxygen inhalation, that weak hello turned into a white mist on the oxygen mask.
But Li Suian could see clearly, walked in and looked at Ji Ruan's face, pale and haggard: "Poor thing..."
He sighed, pointed at Ji Ruan and asked Gu Xiuyi in a low voice: "Can he hear now?"
Gu Xiuyi nodded: "Come closer and speak slowly, you can basically understand me."
"That's okay..." Li Suian muttered, pursed his lips and waved to Gu Xiuyi: "Come out with me."
His face is smooth, his eyes are narrow and long, and he has a romantic and affectionate appearance. He usually always has a hippie smile and occasionally a little flattened, but now he is very normal, so normal that he looks serious.
Gu Xiuyi keenly sensed something was wrong, his eyes darkened, and he helped Ji Ruan lie back on the bed as if nothing had happened.
Li Suian stood aside, hesitating to speak, before leaving, he turned back to the hospital bed, and said in the tone of a pediatrician: "Xiao Ji ruan? You just lie here for a while."
"It's best not to move around, what's the matter?
" If you need it, ring the bell to ask the nurse sister to help."
He paused: "Well... Don't get out of bed and walk around by yourself, can you do it until Gu Xiuyi comes back?" Thinking too carefully about the meaning of the words, he nodded obediently.
Gu Xiuyi stood at the door, but his heart sank when he heard this series of instructions, and his hand holding the doorknob tightened unconsciously.
After reaching the corridor, Li Suian patted Gu Xiuyi's shoulder casually, and said in a calm tone, "Come to my office and talk."
But this kind of tone is by no means what a friend should have, but the calmness of a doctor to a patient's family. The person was extremely distraught and professional.
Li Suian's office is downstairs, and when the elevator opened, he happened to meet Song Ling who was bringing bodyguards to report to work.
Song Ling didn't get out of the elevator to go down with them, and said behind Gu Xiuyi: "We just came back from the mental hospital, Lin Qing's place has been arranged, don't worry."
For a long distance, both of them walked a little ridiculously fast today.
He trotted two steps to keep up, and continued: "Bai Yue's company is completely ruined. Just after the seizure notice came out, the airport customs also restricted his parents from leaving the country..." Li Suian opened the door of the office
Song Ling went in with Gu Xiuyi on his heels: "Then there is the funeral-"
"It goes without saying." Gu Xiuyi interrupted: "It's not important."
The office was brightly lit, and Li Suian took out a few report cards. Only then did Song Ling notice the unusually serious expressions of the two of them, and suddenly fell silent.
This posture can only be caused by something wrong with Ji Ruan.
But isn't it just a fever?
Song Ling was a little uncertain, and waved at the bodyguard: "You stay outside first."
The bodyguard was wearing a black uniform and was tall and burly. Hearing this, he nodded at the three of them expressionlessly, then turned around and closed the door neatly.
Song Ling pulled a chair over and sat with Gu Xiuyi opposite Li Suian.
"Let me tell you the conclusion first." Li Suian took a pen, clicked on the report in front of him, and looked at Gu Xiuyi: "Ji Ruan needs an operation."
Gu Xiuyi's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably , his upper body leaned forward slightly, and clasped his fingers on the desk: "What do you say? Does the fever affect anything?"
Li Suian shook his head: "At present, his fever is mainly caused by emotional ups and downs and catching a cold. It may be caused by yesterday's fever. I was scared late, this is not serious at first, but it is not normal to have such a severe fever in a short period of time, accompanied by severe spasmodic pain behind the ears." He said and pointed to the report
card on the table: "After we checked, we found that The cochlear implant in his right ear has shifted."
Gu Xiuyi said dumbly: "...what?"
"That's right, I suspect it was yesterday and Lin..." Li Suian covered his lips: "Cough, when I fell down on the cruise ship The displacement caused by bumping his head, and his dizziness, vomiting, and severe headache today are also because of this..."
He deliberately omitted Lin Qing's name, and carefully glanced at Gu Xiuyi, fearing that this person would rush to the mental hospital and beat him up Lin Qing paused.
Gu Xiuyi sat without moving, but his white knuckles and tight jaw were exerted so hard that his desire for Dao Linqing was vividly displayed.
Song Ling's back felt cold, and he knew that he had to go to the mental hospital again later, so that the bodyguards could greet Lin Qing again.
Gu Xiuyi took a deep breath, restraining his thoughts under the legal bottom line: "How to operate?"
"Take..." Li Suian swallowed: "Take out the current implant and press a new one in."
This project It sounds like Ji Ruan's small body can't bear it.
Gu Xiuyi involuntarily rubbed the ring on his ring finger, as if seeking some kind of comfort.
It was rare for him to show such uneasiness: "Can't you try to move it back to the original position?" "Of course you can, but I don't suggest it." Li Suian looked serious.
"How to say?"
"The implant in his ear is an old model from ten years ago, and the quality is very average, so the possibility of damage cannot be ruled out," Li Suian said, "Even if it is only a minor operation to remove it , it may have to be replaced in a few months, this is two crimes."
Gu Xiuyi was silent.
His eyebrows were tightly frowned. From Li Suian's perspective, it was like two mountains pressing down on his eye sockets, making it hard to breathe.
After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "Is it dangerous? Ji Ruan's body..."
Li Suian smiled wryly: "That's the difficulty. None of your child's current inspection reports can meet the surgical indicators."
"It can't be done," Li Suian considered, "It's just that it may be difficult to recover after surgery, and the risk of infection is also very high."
Gu Xiuyi licked his dry lips: "... Then what's your suggestion?"
Li Suian leaned forward, posing Professional posture: "My suggestion is that surgery must be done, but you can raise your indicators first."
Gu Xiuyi nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"His displacement is not too serious now. After a month of good care and surgery, his recovery will be relatively easy." Li Suian said.
"But the risk of this is that the uncertainty will increase as time goes on. If there is another bump and the displacement is more serious, it will be troublesome to compress the nerve." "That's why I made sure he didn't move around just now. "
Li Sui'an said while carefully studying Gu Xiuyi's expression, and patted his forearm comfortingly: "It's okay, don't worry, you can go back and discuss with him, and you can give me an answer tomorrow."
Bang, bang, bang--
The door of the office was knocked twice tentatively from the outside.
The two people around him remained motionless with dignified expressions, Song Ling got up consciously and went to open the door.
"Brother Song..." The bodyguard stood outside the door with a hesitant expression.
"What's the matter? Tell me it's nothing."
The bodyguard nodded: "I just...seemed to see Mr. Bai."
Gu Xiuyi turned his head abruptly, and the sight that he cast made the bodyguard's back feel cold, and quickly explained: "But I'm not sure. , he's far away, and I've only seen him once on a ship, so I might be mistaken." The
interior of the hospital is a back-shaped structure, with offices on one side of the corridor and half-person-high glass walls on the other. If you take the elevator up, you may indeed be seen by the bodyguards.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if you admit your mistake or not? Hurry up and have a look!" Song Ling said anxiously.
Ji Ruan was originally Gu Xiuyi's golden bump, but now he is a fragile buff with a crystal cover, and he can't even touch it. Can Gu Xiuyi tolerate the slightest safety hazard around him? !
"Old Li, hurry up and call the nurse's desk to ask..."
Before the word "down" came out, there was a gust of wind in front of Song Ling's eyes, and when he regained consciousness, Gu Xiuyi had already rushed away with his bodyguards a long way.
