"*cough* *cough* *cough*...!!!" Qin Kong choked on his food at those words. What! My singing is very nice!? That means the neighbor obviously hears everything going on in my room?!

This is bad. The real pregnant woman upstairs had moved out, but the fake pregnant woman next door has heard everything for such a long time. Only! Being! Separated! By! One! Wall! Ah!

Although he should be feeling happy for being praised, how come he felt like crying himself a river.

Then he remembered back to those times when he felt so high in his singing that he particularly called out in an arrogant tone, "Hey, pregnant woman next door, how are you doing!" He immediately felt all tangled up at that sentence. Did the other person hear that too?

Wu Ming saw a "scared" expression on Qin Kong's face, he bet that the other man must be thinking of something weird again. He smiled and continued, "The pregnant woman upstairs has been gone for quite some time now, don't you know that?"

"*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*...!!!" Qin Kong almost spewed out all the food in his mouth, why did the other person have to mention this ah!

Wu Ming looked at Qin Kong: "..."

"My bad, my bad! I'm eating a bit too fast!" Qin Kong quickly said.

"Drink some water, don't rush it." Wu Ming poured Qin Kong a glass of water; a kindhearted person would sometimes be a bit mischievous. Even though on the surface he was showing a worried and caring expression, in fact deep in his heart he felt extremely pleased---finally I have my revenge, because you keep on calling me a pregnant woman every day!

Qin Kong ate this meal in joy and sorrow, he even shouted out "Let me clean up!" and took over the dishwashing job. He had never been that diligent at home.

When he carried his laundry basket home, he said very sincerely: "Thank you for your hospitality."

That sincerity with a tint of guilt in those eyes had made Wu Ming's little heart tremble slightly---wait, did I do something wrong?

Right after Qin Kong entered his place, with lightning speed he rushed to his laptop and posted a weibo status.

CV Clear Sky: Today my kind hearted neighbor invited me over for dinner, the neighbor even praised me for my singing. I feel so pleased and embarrassed...[tears]

Wu Ming replied---

No Name in the Name: Hmph, I bet the neighbor must have known you called him a pregnant woman!

Clear Sky replied: You got it right...

That night, Clear Sky was singing very enthusiastically on his channel, some fans asked him to sing some high note songs and he did not hesitate in refusing them with the reason: "Not good, not good, the neighbor will come knocking on my door."

The public chat screen was getting spammed with: The pregnant woman next door will get so excited from your singing and give birth right on the spot!

Clear Sky whispered: "Hush, that's why I need to lower my voice. I'll sing some soft songs for you all."

Wu Ming smiled: Even if you lower your voice, the pregnant woman can still hear you.

Later that night, Qin Kong was tossing and turning on his bed, suddenly his mind had an image of his next door neighbor knocking on his door saying: "Sama, can you lower it down a bit?" A chill ran down his spine. Finally he was able to fall asleep, but he was dreaming of Wu Ming with a big belly saying: "Sama, I'm about to give birth."

Qin Kong abruptly woke up with a scare, his back was covered in cold sweat; it was terrible!

He glanced over at his alarm clock, he woke up an hour before the set time; he began to wonder if he will be able to meet Wu Ming when he heads to work this morning. He then thought about Wu Ming's cooking, he suddenly felt Wu Ming has a good form, has a good personality and the other man is also his type. It seems the neighbor doesn't have a girlfriend...?

He suddenly realized that he was having some silly thoughts, then he quietly picked up his phone to post a weibo status---

CV Clear Sky: This is bad, I seem to have fallen for that person.

***

That morning Wu Ming met Qin Kong right outside his door and felt that the other man was quite talkative today. Usually he would just greet him with a hello, but today the other man said a lot of things like: "Have you had breakfast yet? You must eat breakfast, it is not good to skip breakfast."

He patiently answered each question one by one, but he felt something was off. Qin Kong seemed to be in a very good mood today?

After Wu Ming got off work he went home and checked Clear Sky's weibo statuses for the day. When he laid eyes on that mornings status, he felt his heart miss a beat.

He sat straight up and took in a deep breath, inhale, exhale. So it turned out the other man has someone he likes already, no wonder he seemed to be different in the morning; he tried to comfort himself: "Sama also has his own life, I can see him in person every day which is more fortunate than other people, I should feel content with this much."

He commented on it---

No Name in the Name: That person must be very extraordinary! Wish Sama to always be happy!

Then he leaned back in his chair and was unable to utter a single word.

For several days, Wu Ming went to work in very low-spirits and he became quite listless.

Having his "crush" suddenly liking someone else made him feel quite depressed, this feeling is somehow like being a lovelorn kid...

While he was in the midst of his muddlehead, Wu Ming unexpectedly got struck by a cold wind and he gloriously caught the virus.

Right when he got up he felt his body getting sore all over, he furiously sneezed a few times and his throat felt like there were a hundred stones in it. He was feeling very uncomfortable and his head was spinning so bad, he felt his forehead....he has a fever.

He got up to make a phone call to his company and then searched for the antipyretic in his first aid kit; his whole body felt so weak and tired, even swallowing seemed to be difficult for him.

He drank up a glass of water and felt extremely dizzy so he went back to sleep, when he woke up again it was dark outside; he touched his forehead and let out a sorrow filled chuckle. The burning had not reduced, instead it seemed to be more serious.

People are often vulnerable when they are sick, their minds tend to wander off and get completely consumed by their own thoughts.

Even though Wu Ming was currently fighting a high fever, his thoughts were on the person next door---What is Qin Kong doing right now? It looks like he is not singing tonight. Did he update his weibo today? What kind of person is the one that he likes, he must be a very cute type, right? Since he is in love, he must be spending his time with his lover, then he will have less time to be online and the time he spends singing would be less as well...

Suddenly he really wanted to meet Qin Kong, Wu Ming knocked on the wall while wondering if the other person was home. "Tap tap tap"

Qin Kong was actually at home, he did not feel like singing today, he just wanted to lie on his bed, read a good novel and relax. Suddenly he heard a sound coming from the wall.

It must be his neighbor knocking on the wall, so he mischievously knocked "tap tap tap" back.

Wu Ming heard a response, feeling a bit happy, he suddenly sat up to get out of bed; suddenly his vision turned black, he wobbled a bit and hit his head against the wall. "Ouch!" he shouted painfully before sitting back on his bed while clutching his head; he did not dare to move. "It hurts!"

Someone who is having bad luck would also choke on air!

Qin Kong was waiting for his next door neighbor to reply. He started thinking that the exchange between them was quite interesting and refreshing, but then he heard a loud "pong" which was followed by an utter of pain next door; his heart started to thump---What just happened!

He anxiously slapped on the wall and asked: "Hey! Hey! What's wrong?"

There wasn't a response from next door. He got so panicked that he wanted to jump over there immediately, instead he shouted loudly: "I'm coming over, open the door for me!"

He went next door and pressed vigorously on the doorbell, "Wu Ming! Wu Ming! Hurry and open the door! Are you okay?"

Wu Ming slowly got his senses back, but still felt a bit dizzy. He wanted to say that he is okay but then he heard Qin Kong knocking loudly on his door. After listening to how desperately he was ringing the doorbell he thought if he didn't open the door now, the other would break it open for sure. So he made himself get up, wobble to open the door and said in a hoarse breathless tone: "I just hit my head on the wall, I'm okay."

Qin Kong saw Wu Ming standing on the other side of the opened door and he seemed to look okay so he heaved out a sigh of relief, but then he became anxious again. After looking at him closer he noticed that the others cheeks are red, brows lightly knitted together and his whole body seemed to have zero spirit; his look was one of being tired and lifeless, certainly the neighbor is sick!

He stretched out his hand to touch the other's forehead and found that it was super hot, then he touched the other's hands and they were super cold.

The other has a high fever!

Within a second, he got angry and scolded: "You dare say you're okay with that high fever!"
