<blockquote>Shen Yuan is beginning to regret telling Meimei he feels perfectly fine, actually, and doesn't need her to come "check in on him." It was fine, when it was just the fever and stuffy nose on top of the regular old chronic pain and stomach issues. The fever must have climbed higher than he'd thought in the last few hours, though, because he seems to have dreamed up an entire xianxia cultivator-looking dude falling through a hole in reality into his living room.
“Ow,” the hallucination says.
“What the hell,” says Shen Yuan.
