It was almost 8 o'clock when the last bottle of water was finally finished.

The nurse helped remove the IV and repeated the doctor's instructions before allowing Rongyu to be discharged.

Shi Jing dragged her suitcase with one hand and helped Rong Yu out to hail a taxi with the other. They first found a place to have dinner before looking for a place to stay.

The place I was staying at wasn't unfamiliar; it was right next to Dingda University. Shi Jing had stayed there once before the New Year.

She booked two rooms at the front desk, and Rong Yu then realized that Shi Jing had even booked his room.

"No need, I'll just go back to my dorm, it's just a few steps away."

Shi Jing ignored him: "What do you mean you don't need to? You can stay here and rest well."

Since they met, Shi Jing has usually been very easy to talk to, but this time he was unusually assertive, and Shi Jing didn't know how to refuse him.

"Hey, room key. Do you have any close classmates who can bring you some clothes? Or should I go to your dorm and pick them up?" Shi Jing didn't give Rong Yu a chance to refuse, directly presenting her with a choice.

"I'll ask a classmate to take you." Faced with the domineering Shi Jing, Rong Yu had no choice but to temporarily soften his stance.

He was indeed not feeling well today; he was very tired.

Rong Yu called her roommate, and a cheerful-sounding boy answered, shouting, "Rong Xiaoyu, why aren't you back yet? Where are you now? Could you buy me a drink on your way back?"

"Xiao Ming, I'm not going back today. Could you please get me a change of clothes and take me to the Anju Hotel outside the South Gate?" Rong Yu said in a slightly lowered voice.

The boy on the other end reacted as if he'd heard some explosive news, shouting in a loud voice, "You're something else, kid! What's going on?!"

"No, don't think nonsense." Rong Yu sighed helplessly. This guy's thoughts were too jumpy. "I was hospitalized today because of heatstroke. My friend was worried that it would be too hot in the dormitory to rest, so he booked a room for me off campus."

"Heatstroke?" The boy was genuinely surprised this time, and his tone was no longer joking. "Are you alright?"

"I was on an IV drip all day, but I'm fine now."

Xiao Ming was relieved: "Okay, then send me the room number, and I'll take the clothes over right away."

After making the call, Rong Yu looked at Shi Jing again. Shi Jing was in a bad mood today, and for some reason, he thought of the first time he met Shi Jing. Shi Jing had been behaving quite well these days, and he almost forgot that she actually had a rather volatile temper and had even had a conflict with Brother Meng.

The two had already reached the guest room on the fifth floor, where Shi Jing was adjusting the air conditioner in Rong Yu's room.

"Um... my classmate will bring me some clothes in a bit."

Shi Jing nodded to indicate that she understood. After setting the air conditioner temperature, she instructed, "You had an IV drip for a long time today. Your classmate will bring your things later, so go wash up and rest early. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."

"……good."

Shi Jing didn't wait for his classmate in Rong Yu's room, but instead dragged his own suitcase back to his room.

She rushed over here today and then headed straight to the hospital. Even though she considers herself to be in good physical condition, she's quite tired now.

I rummaged through my belongings and took a good shower. Only then did I feel completely refreshed and ready to rest.

Shi Jing slept well the night before and got up early the next morning. She went for a run downstairs first, then went upstairs to take a shower. When she checked the time, it was already eight o'clock.

She didn't forget the doctor's advice: Rongyu was already somewhat malnourished, so she couldn't skip any meals.

She changed her clothes and knocked on Rong Yu's door. Their rooms weren't connected, but they were only a few rooms apart.

After a few knocks, footsteps came from inside the door, and a disheveled boy who looked at least 1.9 meters tall opened the door while yawning.

"you……"

"you……"

The two looked at each other and exchanged bewildered glances.

Shi Jing took a step back, looked at the room number, 516. Yes, it was the right room.

"Excuse me, is Rong Yu here?" Shi Jing asked hesitantly.

The boy realized what was being asked and called out towards the restroom, "Rong Xiaoyu, someone's looking for you!"

After saying that, he looked at Shi Jing and asked with a smile, "Beautiful lady, are you Rong Xiaoyu's high school classmate?"

Shi Jing saw that the people looked like they were watching a show, but their expressions weren't lewd, so he didn't mind.

She shook her head, denying the other person's guess: "I'm a first-year high school student, and I'm his friend."

"Huh? First year of high school? How old are you?"

"sixteen."

The boy looked at Shi Jing in disbelief, he simply couldn't believe it.

The bathroom door was pushed open from the inside, and Rong Yu stepped out. He had already changed his clothes and looked refreshed.

Upon seeing Shi Jing, Rong Yu instinctively broke into a happy smile.

"Good morning, Xiaojing."

"Good morning," Shi Jing replied, then looked at the boy who opened the door. "Brother Yu, who is this?"

Rong Yu quickly introduced, "This is my classmate Xiao Ming. He helped me bring clothes over yesterday and stayed to look after me."

The truth is that he wasn't feeling well yesterday, and Xiao Ming helped take care of him.

"Hello, Xiao, it's getting late. Let's go downstairs for breakfast together?" Shi Jing invited.

"No, thank you." Xiao Ming quickly waved his hand. "I want to sleep a little longer. You guys go ahead and eat."

Shi Jing didn't insist. Her goal was Rong Yu, who was malnourished. With her around, Rong Yu's three meals a day had to be taken care of.

She also needs to find time to ask this guy how he got himself into such a miserable state.

Rongyu knew that she worked as a tutor, but she wondered if she had taken on any other jobs besides tutoring. Otherwise, tutoring alone shouldn't be this tiring.

Besides, is he really that short of money? Of course, she also knows that as a student, Rong Yu has to work much harder than the average person to earn his tuition and living expenses. But according to Shi Jing's understanding, Rong Yu's tutoring part-time job plus various scholarships from school should be enough to cover his tuition and living expenses.

After a night's rest, Rong Yu should be feeling much better, which means they can have a good chat now.
