For the moment, neither of them spoke. Zhishu He was very tired after a whole day’s travelling, feeling ache penetrating through the bone. With his eyebrows knitted slightly, he leaned his forehead against the window.

Ziyu Ai casted a few glances at Zhishu He; Ziyu slowed down and freed his hand to touch Zhishu He’s forehead lightly. As expected, Zhishu had a fever again.

“Are you cold?” Ziyu Ai pulled the coat over, covered it on Zhishu He and said, “Hang in there. We’ll arrive in five odd hours. I’ll get off the viaduct later. There will be some commonly used medicine to replace what you usually use even in a small city.” Ziyu Ai did not blame Zhishu He for his haste to go outside without medicine. He knew that Zhishu He was painful enough, and it was easy to be impulsive when he could not hold on.

“What’s the time?” Zhishu He’s face was pale and his voice was weak.

Ziyu Ai read the time on the dashboard, “Eleven fifty-nine.”

At this moment, fireworks bloomed in the distant sky. On the long and monotonous highway, it was really refreshing to see such a scenery. That was supposed to be set off by people in the small city near the highway. With different colors blazing in clusters here and there, the sky was lightened.

“It’s twelve.” Zhishu He leaned forward slightly, looking at the fireworks carefully like a kid, with some innocent joy between his eyes and brows.

Ziyu Ai felt more relaxed too, and he smiled, “Happy Chinese New Year.”

Suddenly, something seemingly occurred to Ziyu Ai that he searched the storage box of the car while driving; and about two minutes later, he got what he was looking for.

A box of fujiya toffees.
