Ji Kexin moved with difficulty and then got up. "Jiang Hua, get up! The sun's already high in the sky... I..." But before she could finish speaking, she heard her own hoarse voice, as if it were coming from someone else's mouth. Only then did she realize that her throat was incredibly dry.

Jiang Hua wasn't a sleepy person. Seeing her get up, she quickly sat up from under the covers as well. But as soon as she sat up, she saw that the entire blanket was wrapped around her, while the poor person next to her had nothing but a nightgown and no blanket to cover herself with.

Jiang Hua felt incredibly guilty facing this awkward situation and didn't know what to say. "Coco, you know I didn't mean it, right? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, I..." Jiang Hua stammered, unable to finish her sentence.

Before he could finish his stammering words, Ji Kexin yawned. "Yawn... I'm going to catch a cold again. I have class today. How did I get a cold?" As she spoke, she rubbed her nose with one hand and fiddled with her messy hair with the other.

Seeing how listless she looked, Jiang Hua felt incredibly guilty. She quickly got up and went to the side, pouring her a glass of warm water. "Keke, eat this first. We'll go to the infirmary to get some medicine later. After you take the medicine, your cold will be better."

Ji Kexin looked at the glass of warm water offered by her with both hands, and at her worried tone and furrowed brows. She was quite touched, so she didn't say anything, nodded, and drank the whole glass of warm water. However, she still felt like her throat was on fire, and even swallowing a mouthful of saliva was very painful.

Seeing how much she was suffering, Jiang Hua quickly went over to help her get up, wash, and eat breakfast. Half an hour passed quickly. Jiang Hua then told her to go to the classroom first, and then she went to the infirmary to get her cold medicine.

The first class was English. Jiang Hua listened to the English teacher standing on the podium, constantly babbling on and on about English words, sentences, and a ton of tedious knowledge points. She took notes while also keeping an eye on Ji Kexin's condition.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, or rather, it was as if the heavens were kind but the flowing water was heartless. Just as Jiang Hua was listening attentively, a violent cough came from beside her, interrupting her thoughts. Jiang Hua quickly turned her head away.

Looking worriedly at Ji Kexin, whose face was flushed from coughing violently, he said cautiously, "Keke, are you alright? Just hang in there for a few more minutes, get out of class will be over soon."

Hearing her careful instructions, Ji Kexin gave her a satisfied smile. "It's okay, I can manage. Just focus on the lesson!"

"Hmm!" Although Jiang Hua had been listening to the lecture, she still had some concerns in her mind. There were five classes in the morning, and Jiang Hua would run to get hot water for Ji Kexin after each class.

After many trips back and forth, Ji Kexin watched her busy figure and unconsciously felt very worried. Because she had taken the medicine in the morning, her condition was not so serious by noon.

Lunchtime always seems so short. The sunlight slanted across the stone, casting a shadow. Jiang Hua was watching a basketball game with Xu Lili; it was mostly filled with handsome guys.

Jiang Hua wasn't particularly interested in these things; sometimes it was just a passing fancy. Then she picked up her phone, remembered something, and turned it on.

Find Yi Gu's name in the chat history and send him two smiling emojis and "Are you there?"

Gu Yiming sent his message quickly, and the two chatted for a while.

Xu Lili, perhaps having also noticed Jiang Hua, didn't seem to care much. "Jiang Hua, are you also feeling bored? Why don't we go back? I'll read for a while. I just remembered there was a quiz coming up recently, hmm, how was it?"

Jiang Hua was secretly delighted; she couldn't have been happier. She said, "Okay, okay, let's go back and see."

The two left the gym together, but unexpectedly, after walking less than a hundred meters, someone inexplicably asked her who she liked. Jiang Hua was also bored for a moment, so she let slip that it was D, and her good mood was completely ruined.

She cursed these people for being so boring in her heart, and quickly ran back to her dormitory. However, a man who was secretly observing her from the shadows had a cold look in his eyes. No one knew what he was feeling at that moment. His heart was aching beyond measure. He didn't know how long ago it was, but he was still confident that he had hope. But at this moment, he didn't know that the world would be like this. She... she actually had someone she liked.

Unbeknownst to him, a foolish woman was gazing at him intently. Xu Lili stared blankly, smiling foolishly. Yes, she should have known all along, but she had been deceiving herself. The person he had always loved was Jiang Hua.

Xu Lili tried to forget their heartbreaking figures and their tightly clenched fists, but she couldn't forget them. Those images seemed to be frozen in her mind, impossible to forget or shake off.

She couldn't stay here any longer. Her feet seemed to be on a pair of flaming wheels as she ran incredibly fast, but tears fell like beads from a broken string.

The following days were very ordinary. Xu Lili would only ask Jiang Hua if she wanted to go to the basketball game. She didn't want to, and she didn't want to either, but she dragged her to go. Jiang Hua never found it strange.

One day, Jiang Hua was playing in her dorm. She was playing a boss fight with a friend nicknamed "Lemon Coach." The two were happily cooperating. "Hey, girl, you're really amazing! You're so good at fighting bosses!"

Jiang Hua looked at the words of praise she sent, "You're pretty good too, you play so well, which dorm are you in?"

Jiang Hua, out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

"Mo Huanhuan, what about you? Which dorm are you in? What's your name?"

Jiang Hua is here. The name suddenly feels so familiar, and I blurted out, "You must be from the class next door, right? I'm Jiang Hua."

"So you're the one! I thought it was someone else, that beautiful lady. Just kidding. But I have something to do here right now, let's talk later."

"Okay, let's talk tonight," followed by two white hand gestures.
