Chapter 21
Lu Jinnian was wearing a suit, and with his eyes shut, he lay silently on the bed . From afar, he seemed to be sound asleep .
Qiao Anhao lifted her hand, knocking on the door, but looking at the bed, she saw that Lu Jinnian remained motionless, without any reaction . She furrowed her brows, taking large strides towards the bed .
Once she was near the bed, she could clearly see Lu Jinnian sprawled on the bed, his body trembling lightly . Subconsciously, Qiao Anhao reached out to touch his forehead . He was burning and he didn’t react to her hand as he hadn’t reacted to the knock on the door . He must have fainted from the fever!
Qiao Anhao hurriedly dug out the fever medicine that she had bought earlier . Following the manual, she took out two pills and picked a bottle of mineral water from the edge of the bed . She then forced the pills into his mouth after supporting him up with much effort .
At this point, Lu Jinnian was unconscious from the fever . It was not possible for him to drink the water and when Qiao Anhao poured it into his mouth, he spat it all out .
She tried twice more, but he continued to spit it all out, and his temperature continued to rise to the point even the air surrounding him was warm .
Qiao Anhao started panicking as he continued to refuse his medicine . Even if she were to call for a doctor, it would take a few hours for them to reach such a deserted area . . .
Just then, Qiao Anhao suddenly remembered how her mother would use an ice pack to cool her down when she had a fever . She placed the medicine and water onto the bedside table before going into the kitchen to get some ice cubes . Opening the refrigerator, all she found was chilled mineral water .

After thinking for a moment, she took the mineral water bottle and returned back upstairs . She rinsed a towel in the cold water before wringing it dry and placing it on Lu Jinnian’s forehead . With much difficulty, she removed his suit and unbuttoned his shirt . Taking another cold towel, she started wiping his body, hoping to cool him down .
The cooling towel was like an ice on coals, bringing comfort to Lu Jinnian . His tensed up brows began to relax as Qiao Anhao continuously wiped his body, and even his trembling started to calm . Gradually, as he fell into deep sleep, his ragged breathing became calm, deep breaths .
Seeing that his trembling had stopped, Qiao Anhao sighed inwardly . She carefully tucked him in before kneeling beside the bed, guarding him . Her gaze couldn’t help falling onto his face .
His lips were unnaturally white, his brows furrowed, and his face streaked with fatigue . But even in such a condition, he still managed to look mesmerizing .

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
