Chapter 2863: Shot on Your Butt

Xiao Lang has a fever.

Li Mingxi nudged his body: "Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang..."

Xiao Lang’s mind was foggy, and even though he was woken up, he wasn’t very conscious.

Li Mingxi immediately got up, dug out the medication she carried, and fed him two pills.

Then she fetched cold water to cool him down.

After a flurry of activity, Xiao Lang’s condition seemed to improve somewhat.

Li Mingxi softly called him: "Xiao Lang, how are you feeling?"

Half-conscious, Xiao Lang glanced at her: "I’m fine..."

"Can you get up? We should go to the hospital."

Xiao Lang shook his head: "I’m not going to the hospital."

"How can you not go to the hospital? Come on, let’s go."

"Not going..."

"Be good and go to the hospital, your sickness isn’t minor." Li Mingxi tried to pull him up, but Xiao Lang shrugged off her hand and turned over, facing away from her.

"I’m not going!" he said firmly.

"But you are sick, you need to go to the hospital."

No matter how much Li Mingxi pleaded, Xiao Lang just wouldn’t go.

Li Mingxi had no choice, she changed clothes, grabbed her wallet, and headed out.

At the pharmacy, Li Mingxi bought a syringe, a thermometer, nutritional fluids, and various medications to take back.

Since Xiao Lang wouldn’t go to the hospital, she had no choice but to treat him herself.

Li Mingxi busied herself, then pulled Xiao Lang’s arm over.

"I’m going to give you an injection now."

Xiao Lang seemed quite afraid of injections; he forcefully pulled back his arm and covered himself tightly with the blanket.

"No need, I don’t want an injection."

Seeing him so eager to avoid it, Li Mingxi chuckled: "You’re a grown man and still afraid of injections?"

Throughout his life, Xiao Lang had taken numerous medications and received countless injections.

He genuinely disliked being ill; if he could avoid taking medication and injections, he would definitely do so.

Besides, he also had his personal motives.

He didn’t want to recover too quickly, because tomorrow morning they had to leave.

He didn’t want to leave, didn’t want to hear her answer, didn’t want her to leave him.

Xiao Lang closed his eyes and wrapped the blanket tighter around himself: "I’ll be fine after a nap, I don’t need an injection."

"How can that work without an injection? Don’t worry, my skills are good, you won’t feel pain."

"No injection—"

Li Mingxi was exasperated, "Hey, are you a kid? Only kids are afraid of injections, look how grown-up you are."

"..." Xiao Lang ignored her.

If he said no injection, it meant no injection.

Li Mingxi put down the syringe and began tugging at his blanket: "Be good, give me your arm quickly."

Despite being sick, Xiao Lang’s strength was still greater than Li Mingxi’s.

Li Mingxi struggled for a long time but couldn’t pull his arm out.

Standing with her hands on her hips, Li Mingxi gasped: "Alright, if you don’t give me your arm, I’ll inject it into your buttocks!"

Xiao Lang cast her a sidelong glance, his already slightly flushed face seemed to redden even more.

Seeing this, Li Mingxi threatened more vigorously: "I’m serious! Once you fall asleep, I’ll inject it into your buttocks and even take a photo to remember."

"I won’t fall asleep..."

Li Mingxi lifted her chin slightly, speaking with confidence: "The medicine I gave you has a calming effect; you won’t be able to avoid sleeping."

"I really don’t want an injection."

"Alright, then how about we put you on a drip; that should be okay, right?"

Xiao Lang still shook his head: "I also don’t want an IV."

Li Mingxi was angry now: "You don’t want anything, do you want to get better or not?!"

He simply didn’t want to get better.

"I’ve already taken medicine, after I sleep it off I’ll be fine." Xiao Lang said hoarsely.
