Cheng Cheng reached out and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Gu Luoqi removed her hand. "No." She knew perfectly well why she was blushing.

The result was... she really did get a fever.

Cheng Cheng borrowed a thermometer from the front desk and took her temperature; it was nearly 39 degrees Celsius.

Gu Luoxi said she had nothing to say about this.

Cheng Cheng gave her some fever-reducing medicine, but she still felt dizzy.

But they still had to hurry back, otherwise they wouldn't make it to school in time.

After careful consideration last night, her attitude towards Qi Sheng remained unchanged.

Anyway, Qi Sheng didn't notice anything unusual.

"How about we take two days off?" Mr. Gu asked, a hint of worry in his eyes as he looked at her.

Aunt Qi took her temperature with a thermometer, but the temperature still hadn't gone down.

Gu Luoqi, upholding her indomitable spirit despite her disability, said, "No need, I'll just take some medicine."

They can't afford to waste time right now, and if she remembers correctly, they only have about two weeks left until their final exams, right?

She's someone with goals now, how could she let a minor fever ruin her important plans?

"Host, why don't you take a few days off?" Even the system couldn't stand her attitude.

"Besides, given your current state, even if you went back to school, it wouldn't make a difference; it wouldn't cause you much trouble anyway," it continued.

"Alright." Gu Luoxi was finally persuaded.

Forget it, getting medical treatment is the priority. It would be a real loss if my brain were damaged by the fever.

Although she took fever-reducing medicine, her fever did not subside for a long time, so Aunt Qi took her to get an IV drip.

After coming back, I felt much better.

She lay on her hospital bed and sighed softly, "Alas, illness strikes like a landslide."

Unfortunately, Qi Sheng, the culprit, had already gone to school.

But this is for the best. Although she is good at pretending, she still feels very awkward if she is in the same space as him now.

Sure enough, she's the kind of person who can't handle even the slightest bit of stimulation in this area.

"What does her poor health have to do with Qi Sheng?" The system was a little curious about her thought process.

Gu Luoqi sighed softly again, "Never mind, system, you wouldn't understand."

Fortunately, her occasional exercise during this period has already shown initial results, and she was full of energy again the next day.

So that afternoon she asked her father to send her back to school.

After arriving at school, Cheng Cheng and Li Mingya spent a long time showing her concern.

Gu Luoqi patted her chest to show she was fine and told them she could study for another three hundred years.

"If you have nothing to do, just study hard. What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!" Cheng Cheng patted her shoulder and gave her a mouthful of chicken soup.

Normally, if someone tried to give Luo Xi this kind of pep talk, she would want to kick them, but things are different now.

As for why it's different, it's probably because she really had a fever that damaged her brain.

She tried to put Qi Sheng's words from New Year's Day behind her and turned them into motivation for studying.

Li Mingya and Cheng Cheng both felt that this guy was going crazy with studying, but they kept up with him, afraid that their best friend would learn more than them.

Gu Luoqi single-handedly overwhelmed everyone.

Time flies, and after finally getting through the exam month, she felt like she had lost a lot of weight.

As soon as she stepped out of the examination room, she felt her steps become much lighter.

She casually put her arms around Cheng Cheng and Li Mingya's shoulders, "The exams are over, we should celebrate properly."

"We must celebrate!" Li Mingya was much happier.

She's not usually a picky eater, but she's probably become more discerning after spending so much time with Gu Luoxi and the others.

"Are you all going back tomorrow?" Gu Luoqi asked.

“I plan to go back tomorrow,” Li Mingya said.

Cheng Cheng slapped away Gu Luoqi's hand that was on her shoulder. "My dad will pick me up first thing tomorrow morning."

“Me too,” Gu Luoqi said.

We had already agreed on this, otherwise, making her carry all this stuff home herself would have been the death of her.

At this time, the first and second year high school students had already started their summer vacation, while the third year students were still at school.

"Is Ya Ya going back by herself again this time?" Gu Luoqi asked with a hint of worry in her eyes.

She felt that Li Mingya needed to take back even more things than she expected.

"I've already planned to send a lot of my things back home by express delivery, so I'll just bring a suitcase," Li Mingya said with a smile.

She seemed to be used to this kind of thing, so there was no trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Why don't you just skip going back home for winter break and come straight to my place?" Gu Luoqi said earnestly, pulling her along.

She felt that she would be subjected to a lot of cold treatment if she went home alone, and it would be terrible if it happened during the Chinese New Year.

But it's clear that her suggestion is completely unrealistic.

"No, I plan to go to my grandma's house for the Chinese New Year." Li Mingya shook her head with a smile.

Seeing that her best friend was still a little worried, she continued, "Let's think about doing something to celebrate the holiday first."

Seeing this, Gu Luoqi gave up the idea. She thought for a moment and suggested, "How about a barbecue?"

Cheng Cheng raised her hand, "I vote for barbecue."

Li Mingya said, "In that case, let's go back to the dorm and get ready. We'll go out for barbecue tonight."

After the three returned to their dormitory, they packed their luggage that they needed to take home the next day, helped Li Mingya carry her package downstairs to be mailed home, and then set off for the barbecue stall.

When they passed by a cake shop, they even ordered a small cake to celebrate.

When the small barbecue grill was placed in front of Gu Luoxi, she finally felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.

The barbecue at this shop isn't all pre-grilled and served to the customers by the owner; instead, it's pre-made skewers or semi-finished products that they have to prepare themselves.

However, all three agreed that this method was more fun.

Gu Luoxi and Cheng Cheng, in particular, are already very skilled at it, and their techniques might even be better than those of the average barbecue restaurant owner.

Being good at something often results in overeating.

Cheng Cheng looked somewhat annoyed. "We made a mistake. We even ordered a cake."

"Oh no, the cake isn't even done yet, and we're already so weak we can't even stand up straight." Gu Luoqi looked completely devastated.

For her, nothing is more frustrating than this right now.

"It's okay, I'll have it for breakfast tomorrow." Li Mingya was much better off than the others.

Those two guys have absolutely no sense of how to store food, honestly.

The three of them staggered out of the barbecue restaurant, helped each other out, went to the cake shop to pick up their cakes, and then slowly made their way back.

Another very obvious consequence of overeating is insomnia.

Moreover, her insomnia wasn't solely due to this.
