Chapter 127: What Others Have, I'll Give You Too

Tan Zhixu and the other two went out and ate at a hot pot restaurant. After the meal, Lu Anlan suggested that they watch a movie.

I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence.

The movie was only a quarter of the way through when Lu Anlan left to use the restroom and never returned.

That leaves Tan Zhixu and Xu Yihuan.

This film is an art-house romance, telling a love story set in the 1970s and 80s.

Despite the film being rather dull, Xu Yihuan watched it with great interest.

It's not that she enjoys watching it, it's just that she has a lot of patience.

It's different when it comes to discussing the order of things.

Tan Zhixu leaned lazily against the chair.

"Does this guy like her?" Tan Zhixu asked, puzzled.

"No, it's just friendship."

"Oh." After saying that, Tan Zhixu was quiet for two seconds, then said, "Did this girl end up with the guy who drives the car?"

Xu Yihuan remained silent; she disliked spoilers and being spoiled.

After waiting for a while without a response, Tan Zhixu became aggrieved: "Why are you ignoring me?"

Is he feeling wronged?

Xu Yihuan glanced to the side speechlessly, then suddenly caught a glimpse of someone behind her with an impatient expression.

Xu Yihuan was startled and quickly tugged at Tan Zhixu's sleeve.

Tan Zhixu curled his lips arrogantly, thinking that Xu Yihuan wanted to talk to him, and immediately obediently lowered his head and leaned closer.

Without thinking, Xu Yihuan slapped him and said, "Stop talking, or the people behind you will start cursing at you."

Tan Zhixu was slapped for no reason, and his face immediately showed grievance.

She let out a soft "oh," then turned her head to look in the other direction of Xu Yihuan, refusing to be near her, a silent rejection.

Xu Yihuan's gaze was fixed intently on the large screen in front of her, completely unaware of Tan Zhixu's subtle movements.

Seeing that this tactic was not working, Tan Zhixu immediately tried to get closer to Xu Yihuan.

Just then, a kissing scene was playing. The movie theater was completely dark, with only the light from the big screen reflecting on the two people's faces, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Xu Yihuan blushed slightly, never expecting that kissing scenes in the 70s and 80s would be shown in close-up.

Tan Zhixu didn't seem to care much, and just hummed twice.

"What did I tell you? This woman is with the guy who drives the car."

The pink bubble burst, and Xu Yihuan's lips twitched.

People gradually left the theater after the movie ended.

Xu Yihuan was a mild-mannered person. She waited until almost everyone had left before following Tan Zhixu and leaving.

It was completely dark outside, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Xu Yihuan took a sip of milk tea: "Let's go back to school."

"You're going back already? Aren't you going to get some barbecue or something?"

Xu Yihuan shook her head, "Current curfew is coming soon, little brother." Xu Yihuan turned on her phone screen and showed Tan Zhixu the time.

It's already past nine o'clock; curfew starts around eleven.

Tan Zhixu's gaze lingered on Xu Yihuan's phone wallpaper for a moment.

That was her.

Then she said regretfully, "Alright then."

"Wait here for me, I'll go get the car."

Xu Yihuan nodded.

Just a short while after Tan Zhixu left, Xu Yihuan suddenly felt a mosquito bite on her arm.

They sensed something was wrong.

Xu Yihuan rolled up her sleeves and saw that her fair arms were covered with a dense rash.

Xu Yihuan's face stiffened. She seemed to realize something and opened the lid of the milk tea to take a look.

The bright green raisins inside easily caught her eye.

The good news is that it's definitely an allergic reaction.

Damn it, she ordered grass jelly, but she noted no raisins, so why did she still put them in?

Just then, Tan Zhixu drove his car up in front of Xu Yihuan.

He rolled down the car window and said in a rather cheerful mood, "Get in..."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on Xu Yihuan's arm.

His previously lazy expression turned serious.

"An allergic reaction?"

Xu Yihuan nodded helplessly.

"I'm allergic to raisins."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."

Xu Yihuan didn't argue and obediently sat down.

When you arrive at the hospital, you can only go to the emergency room at this time.

Xu Yihuan sat in the chair, watching Tan Zhixu run around taking care of her.

She smiled, resting her chin on her hand: "I didn't expect you to be so capable."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tan Zhixu walking towards him.

"Let's go get an IV drip."

Xu Yihuan stood up as well.

Continue until the IV drip is properly hung up.

The two of them then sat down together on a chair to rest.

In Beijing in November, nighttime temperatures have already dropped to single digits.

Sitting in the drafty hall, with your hands constantly outside, you're bound to get a bit cold.

Xu Yihuan didn't feel anything, but her hands turned red from the cold.

Tan Zhixu rested his chin on his hand, his gaze falling on the hot water bottle in the hands of the aunt next to him.

This thing seems to work quite well.

So, Tan Zhixu nudged Xu Yihuan.

"Hey, do you want that thing?"

Xu Yihuan looked up from her phone.

Caught off guard by the kind smile of the older woman, Xu Yihuan smiled and nodded in return.

The voice was forced out through clenched teeth: "What would I need that thing for?"

I don't know if I heard Zhixu clearly.

He stood up and walked towards the older woman.

I don't know what the two of them said.

Tan Zhixu left quickly and disappeared into the hospital lobby.

But a few minutes later, Tan Zhixu returned.

She was also holding a hot water bottle with a large floral pattern, just like the ones worn by older women in Northeast China.

Fill the water tank at the front desk.

Tan Zhixu placed the hot water bottle under Xu Yihuan's hand.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Yihuan looked at Tan Zhixu: "My IV drip is almost finished, so this is no longer needed."

"So what? We haven't finished hanging up yet, have we?"

"Everyone else has it, so I'll give it to you too."

Tan Zhixu leaned back in the cold, hard chair at the hospital, still in a lazy and relaxed posture, as if he were leaning on his own big sofa at home.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan's heart trembled, and then it felt as if a hole had been punched in her heart, and hot water had been poured in, making her feel warm and cozy.

Xu Yihuan took a deep breath, suppressing the warmth that was about to well up in her eyes.

"Thank you, Tan Zhixu."

In fact, she has very few family ties and is now practically alone in the capital. She has to adapt to the temperature differences and food on her own, and she doesn't have anyone she knows.

Over time, you'll feel wronged.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Tan Zhixu's face.

Tan Zhixu was looking at his phone, the white light from the screen reflecting off his face and clearly illuminating his handsome features.

Hearing this, he paused for a moment.

She tilted her head and looked at Xu Yihuan for a few seconds, then hesitated before speaking, "You're welcome?"

He genuinely felt that Xu Yihuan was being polite.

He wasn't being nice to her without a reason; he was nice to her because he liked her.

He's not some great philanthropist; he wouldn't act like this with anyone else.

After an hour and a half of IV fluid administration, Tan Zhixu escorted Xu Yihuan back to her dormitory right at the gate's access control point.

"Remember to take your medicine," Tan Zhixu casually reminded him.

"Okay~"

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Lu Anlan came over and looked at her with great interest.

Why are you so late coming home?

Xu Yihuan waved the medicine in her hand at her.

"Going to the hospital for an allergic reaction."

Lu Anlan's eyes widened.

He cupped Xu Yihuan's head in his hands, his face full of heartache: "Why is our little Huanhuan so pitiful?"

Then she went to get hot water for Xu Yihuan and said, "Give me the water cup. You should drink more water when you're sick."

Xu Yihuan leaned on the chair, her hands supporting her on the back.

Watching Lu Anlan, my precious daughter, busy herself with everything.

He chuckled softly.
