If You Don’t Fall in Love, You’ll DieCh62 - I Don’t Want to Take the Medicine by Myself…

Editor: Amaris


What the hell does it mean by getting jealous for… How could Ye Chen even get jealous? How could such a generous man like Ye Chen get jealous out of nothing? It was simply too unreasonably troublesome! tD jUi

Who would have imagined that Death System immediately added, “Daily mission: let Ren Jing feed the medicine to you at least three times.”

Ye Chen, “…”

Death System said, “How nice, both the daily mission and weekly mission are here at the same time. It’d be so easy for you.”

Ye Chen kept himself wrapped inside the blanket and asked with a muffled voice, “Why do I need to take medicine when it’s just a mild cold?” I3w6Jr

Death System was amused. “So you’re actually afraid to take medicine?”

Ye Chen forced himself to explain, “Laozi dislikes taking medicine.”

Death System pretended it didn’t hear anything. “Don’t panic, just let Ren Jing feed the medicine to you using his mouth, it’ll definitely not be bitter anymore.”

Ye Chen wanted to curse it, but after carefully pondering over the scene it described, his face felt like it had heated up even more!

Ye Chen was in a very complicated mood. He wanted the cold to recover quickly, yet also wanted it to recover slowly. At the same time, he was afraid of taking the medicine, but he was kind of looking forward to it, too… Yup, it was probably the fever that messed his mind up.

The Death System summarized his thoughts. “It’s not the fever, it’s you being horny.”

Ye Chen, “…” cHdl7x

Death System felt really proud of itself and stated, “Chinese language sure is extensive and profound.”

Ye Chen simply wanted to let it know that Chinese Kungfu was a lot more extensive and profound.

 

Ye Chen woke up early because his head hurt. He pressed the switch and the curtain opened automatically. It was still pitch-dark outside. 38Gc2n

It’s only six o’clock… 

Ye Chen felt bored stiff just lying on the bed. He couldn’t bring himself to sleep anymore, thus he took his cellphone and swiped through it.

He accidentally opened up WeChat and saw Ren Jing’s name. But then, he immediately closed the app.

He kept on doing the same thing thrice. no82z4

 

Death System asked him quietly, “Do you want me to release a random mission to task you to give Ren Jing a call?”

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened up. “Is there one?”

Death System replied, “There is.” a0 dcP

Ye Chen pursed up his lips. “Then why haven’t you released it yet?”

Death System said, “Will you do a random mission without any life point rewards?”

Ye Chen, “…” This spicy chicken system!

Ye Chen felt really defeated by the System. In the end, he made the call. HJWbGI

When he saw the name ‘Ren Jing’ on the screen, he suddenly felt diffident. He thought of hurriedly hanging up, but it was too late.

Ren Jing answered very fast.

Ye Chen didn’t say anything.

Ren Jing’s voice sounded very clear. He probably woke up early. He asked Ye Chen, “You are up this early?” ekJh3c

Ye Chen said, “Aren’t you also up early…?”

Ye Chen didn’t realize it since he hadn’t spoken out, but now that he did, he noticed that his voice was really hoarse.

Ren Jing immediately realized. “What happened? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

People were mostly like this. When no one cared about them, a headache and a slight fever were not a big deal. It would get better just by taking some medicine and drinking some water.

But now that there was someone who was this sharp, caring, and concerned about him, the headache and slight fever became such inconvenience.

Ye Chen said, “I’m alright.” Don’t be unreasonable, you’re a dignified three-feet tall man, Boss Ye!

Ren Jing asked, “Did you catch a cold? Are you having a fever? Wait at your house, I’ll be right there.” SzICad

Ye Chen suddenly felt like crying. He had turned from a boss into a pitiful little boy.

How could Ren Jing be so good? How could he be so, very good!? 

Ye Chen stated, “Aren’t you busy today? You should do your business first, I’m fine by myself.”

Ren Jing asked him back, “Have you measured your temperature? Did you catch the cold last night?” pcT mo

Ye Chen replied, “I’m alright…It’s nothing, really.”

 

As the two talked, Ye Chen didn’t realize how long the time had passed. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Ye Chen was still talking to Ren Jing on the phone. He thought that it was Xiao Liu who came, thus he said, “I’ll open the door first, it’s probably Xiao Liu…” ztXdcl

Right after he said so, he saw Ren Jing through the peephole.

Ye Chen’s eyes widened. He said as he was still holding the cellphone, “How did you come so quick?”

Ren Jing smiled. “Open the door.”

Ye Chen hung up the call and promptly opened the door. qscnEj

As soon as Ren Jing entered the house, he stuck his hand on Ye Chen’s forehead. After feeling it for a while, he slightly knitted his brows. “You have a fever.”

 

All that was stuffed in Ye Chen’s mind was: how could Ren Jing get here so quickly? They had just talked on the phone, but now he was in front of his eyes… Then, he took a glance at his cellphone and saw that the call record showed that the call duration was 23 minutes.

Has it been that long? W3S75E

Ye Chen almost thought that his cellphone was broken!

Since Ren Jing had come, then let it be, but he even brought along a bevy of things, including thermometer, cold medicine, and even some food ingredients.

Ye Chen was feeling sincerely moved as he took his temperature. “You…you…” He really didn’t know what to say anymore.

So awesome! In short… Ren Jing is so, very awesome! 7WDXy6

 

The temperature shown on the thermometer was exactly the same as what Death System said, 38.9 degree, not different one bit.

Ren Jing said, “I’ll make you something to eat. You should take the medicine after you’ve had your meal.”

Ye Chen thought that he should say this: I’m alright, I really am. So you should do your work and you don’t have to stay, I could manage by myself. p1XT4q

But he couldn’t bring himself to say it. He didn’t want Ren Jing to leave, and it really wasn’t because of the missions.

Ren Jing held the back of Ye Chen’s head, then pulled him closer and gave him a kiss between his forehead. He said in a soft voice, “Wait for a bit, the food will be ready soon.”

Ye Chen said under his breath, “…Alright.”

Ren Jing cooked congee for him. With the addition of some fresh and tasty side dishes, the congee looked delicious and appetizing.

Ye Chen didn’t actually have much appetite, but since Ren Jing had gone through a lot of trouble to make it for him, he had to eat a bit of it no matter what.

Ren Jing filled two small bowls with congee, but he didn’t eat it. He simply stirred it gently with a spoon.

Ye Chen asked, “Why don’t you eat the congee?” h2IHZs

Ren Jing replied, “I’ve already had breakfast.”

Ye Chen was puzzled. What was that extra bowl for?

He found out soon enough. As soon as he had just finished his small bowl of congee, Ren Jing gave his bowl to him. “The congee’s temperature is just right, you should have more.”

He was actually helping Ye Chen to cool the congee down! 6 542b

It was really so considerate of him!

Ye Chen actually felt full just by eating a small bowl of congee, but he decided to eat the other bowl. After all, Ren Jing had worked hard to cool it down by stirring it.

Death System as an onlooker thought: Ren Jing is an expert at raising a ‘pig’! qfQGNh

After finishing the meal, Ye Chen’s spirit had improved a lot. Ren Jing looked for some medicine for him.

Ye Chen was at a loss that he became really entangled. He has a very narrow throat, which was why he could choke easily when swallowing capsules. Also, when he used water to gulp it down, the capsule’s coating would be dissolved. The medicine tasted very sour.

But then, most dissolved medicine would taste weird. Even the ones with the label ‘sweet fruity flavor’ written on its sachet usually tasted really terrible that he wanted to vomit.

Ye Chen came over to take a look. He really wanted to say that he couldn’t take capsules medicine, but in the end, he saw that all the medicines Ren Jing bought were dissolved ones…He thought that it had to be really bitter. WqC wv

Ren Jing turned his head around and saw Ye Chen, then smiled as he said, “They’re not bitter, the taste isn’t that bad.”

Ye Chen thought inside his heart, That’s what people who didn’t have to take medicine always say.

 

After the medicine was dissolved, the amount was just right, about less than half a teacup. Ye Chen had summoned his courage and was about to take a sip, but then felt really stifled. Jz7xRc

The Death System reminded him, “The mission requires you to let Ren Jing feed you the medicine. Do you get it? You have to be fed by Ren Jing!”

Ye Chen, “…” I almost forgot!

He stared at the teacup, then looked at Ren Jing, then stared back at the teacup and looked at Ren Jing again… His heart was in a mess. Ye Chen finally opened his mouth, “I…I…” No matter how he forced himself, he couldn’t say it!

Ren Jing looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?” TYLIO

Ye Chen felt really wronged. He really wished that Ren Jing could receive his telepathy!

 

“I don’t want to take the medicine.” Ye Chen whispered.

Ren Jing said, “You should have some, otherwise your cold won’t get better. It would be uncomfortable for you.” DXTVvj

Ye Chen didn’t dare to look at Ren Jing. He simply added some words softly, “I don’t want to take the medicine by myself.”

Ren Jing was startled.

So Ye Chen was actually feeling hot…what bullshit fever? Now he turned even hotter as if he had turned into the Flaming Mountains.

 

Ren Jing obviously heard what Ye Chen said. He smiled faintly, then said in a low voice, “Let me help you.”

My words reached him! Ye Chen immediately felt delighted. He took the initiative to say, “I’ll grab the spoo–” koO7ZP

Since he would be fed, they certainly needed to use the spoon. But in the end, Ye Chen was kissed before he even finished his words.

Along the sweet and cloying french kiss came the truly-not-bitter medicine.

Ye Chen had taken countless cold medicines in his life, but this was definitely the sweetest one he had ever taken. It felt so sweet that his heart felt like it was on cloud nine.


You know what… When I translated that chapter when Ren Jing was sick, somehow, I’m sick too. And when I did this chapter, again, I fell sick LMAO… I guess I’m spiritually connected to my children HAHAHA… Except that I got no one to pamper me and all that sweet things MUAHAHAHAH WajSQO

Translator's Note

In Chinese, getting fever (发烧; pinyin fāsāo) and getting horny (发骚; fāshāo) had a very similar pronunciation, thus what the system punned lol. It’s really hard trying to do the same pun in English…

Translator's Note

So erm… Apparently this measurement (?) was used by people in the past. It’s not feet actually, more like “chi”, but more or less the same with feet that people use nowadays. This is pretty short nowadays, but measurements are quite different in the past so… In the past, one chi is about 20 cm. This thread in Baidu Zhidao explained about this.

Translator's Note

I think author made a typo here as author wrote 38.8 degree on previous chapter and wrote 38.9 degree in this chapter instead… Author didn’t seem to change it, so let’s just pretend it’s all good? Haha xD

Translator's Note

The Flaming Mountains (Chinese: 火焰山; pinyin: huǒyànshān) or Gaochang Mountains, are barren, eroded, red sandstone hills in the Tian Shan of Xinjiang. They lie near the northern rim of the Taklamakan Desert and east of the city of Turpan. Their striking gullies and trenches caused by erosion of the red sandstone bedrock give the mountains a flaming appearance at certain times of the day. The Flaming Mountains received their name from a fantasy account of a Buddhist monk, accompanied by a Monkey King with magical powers. The monk runs into a wall of flames on his pilgrimage to India in the popular 16th century novel, Journey to the West, by Ming dynasty writer, Wu Cheng’en.

Flaming Mountains
Flaming Mountains-2
Flaming Mountains-3 Kz1QLr

According to the classical novel Journey to the West, the Monkey King created a disturbance in the heavens and knocked over a kiln, causing embers to fall from the sky to the place where the Flaming Mountains are now. In a Uighur legend, a dragon lived in the Tianshan Mountains. Because the dragon ate little children, a Uighur hero slew the dragon and cut it into eight pieces. The dragon’s blood turned into a scarlet mountain of blood and the eight pieces became the eight valleys in the Flaming Mountains. (Wikipedia)

  2. When i was reading this chapter I was thinking that i am sick too. I even took day off because of this . I was a little bit down and then I read that translator was also sick)

  3. Oh my… Ren Jing is an expert…

    Ye Chen don’t need to do anything to finish his task. It’s almost like the one who got the task is Ren Jing

  4. Heck, I know this is four months late (I’m currently binge-reading thus fic ((Thank you!!))) But when I read, [The Death System summarized his thoughts. “It’s not the fever, it’s you being horny .”] I felt it was a missed opportunity to use “in heat” instead. 😂😂 I’m sure that’s a different word, but the pun reads through a bit better.
