Chapter 18

2:00 AM

An Qian: Haven’t you slept yet?

Ning Qingxu: No.

I didn’t know what An Qian replied, and no more messages from An Qian popped up after that.

Suddenly WeChat reminded me that "you have an unread message".

It was sent by Xu Song: Are there some people who are born unable to learn?

Ning Qingxu tapped the screen of his phone, hesitant to take any action. After a long pause, he blankly typed a word:

Xu Song quickly replied: "I studied hard for a while in junior high, but things started to fall apart in my freshman year of high school. No matter how hard I tried, my grades were only above average at best. Not bad, but also not great either."

Ning Qingxu still has many questions: So what?

Xu Song: So... how did you learn it? Or is it just a family gene issue?

Ning Qingxu felt a little sleepy, so she went to the bathroom to wash her face. There was still moisture in the corners of her eyes.

He looked at the screen and thought about how to reply. He felt a burning temperature on his body, as if he was about to burn.

There was also an abnormal light red color on his body, so he went to get a thermometer: 39.8°.

I have a fever.

Ning Qingxu was used to it; he would easily catch a cold whenever the seasons changed.

He left the school naturally. There was a particularly low wall in their school, so it was easy to jump out.

He could have asked the teacher for leave the next day, but that would have delayed the course. He chose the former without hesitation.

I didn't bring my cell phone with me when I went out, and when I came back, my phone exploded with messages from Xu Song.

Xu Song: Can you please pay attention to me? I am so embarrassed by what you are doing.

Xu Song: Are you asleep?

Xu Song: It shows here that you are online.

Xu Song: If you pretend to be dead again, I will...

…

Ning Qingxu took the medicine but still felt a little dizzy. She forced herself to stay awake and replied to him: No.

In Xu Song’s column it said “The other party is typing.”

He didn't get a reply from him for a long time and he forgot how long he had been waiting.

The next day, Xu Song didn't see him. Over the past month, Ning Qingxu's name had spread throughout the school, and countless Omegas admired him.

Some Omegas created small groups specifically for Ning Qingxu, and there was a large group specifically for Ning Qingxu. Thousands of people were in it, limited to Omegas who liked Ning Qingxu, even Betas or Alphas.

They chatted unscrupulously in there, and Ning Qingxu could report them for committing a crime if he picked up any of their messages.

They knew information about Ning Qingxu, his family background, hobbies, etc. Someone was watching his daily schedule, but he just didn't know it.

Of course, the news of his absence spread throughout the group chat, which had a strange name: Gossip with the Gods and Goddesses.

"Goddess and Goddess Chatting Gossip"

Member 972: Did you guys hear that? My idol didn't come to class today. Is that true? [crying] [crying]

Member 483: It's true! My friend's uncle's cousin's son's sister is in Class 30 of Senior High School. She said that her idol really didn't come to school today.

Member 972: Sisters... their relationship is quite complicated. Why? Is he sick? Or is he in his susceptible period? That can't be right. Didn't he pass the susceptible period a few days ago?

Member 1068: He's sick, don't you know? Can't you change your name? It's "Gods and Goddesses Gossiping" instead of "Crime Scene"?

As soon as member 1068 finished speaking, someone started to question her frantically. She simply replied, "My deskmate, Ning Qingxu, asked him about it. He has a fever, but I heard it's not serious."

This member 1068 is actually Li Ziyan. As for why she is in this group, she was forcibly pulled into the group by an Omega who likes Ning Qingxu.

What she said was not accurate. Although Ning Qingxu did have a fever, 39.8° was really a serious temperature.

He himself didn't feel anything, and he didn't know so many people cared about him. For Xu Song, this was going to be another boring day.

Normally he would tease his deskmate, but now that his deskmate is not around, he just stays alone in the "King's Canyon" and doesn't want to come out.

The teacher could only turn a blind eye to Xu Song, ask him to reflect, ask his parents to reflect, and give him a warning.

I have tried both, and none of them worked.

As long as he doesn't affect his good classmates, the teacher will basically not say anything to him.

Xu Song sent him a message asking what was wrong. He was doing homework in the dormitory.

He had done all those questions thoroughly, including the difficult ones, the easy ones, the knowledge points, and the consolidation exercises. He would start writing as soon as he saw the question and finish it quickly.

The book "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" was placed on the table. He stared at it for a long time, and the feeling of dizziness came over him again. He didn't sleep well that night.

This situation has happened before. When someone gets sick, they just buy medicine and wait for themselves to get better.

His presence is quite noticeable, but when he is sick, his temper becomes particularly bad and he dislikes everyone.

Ye Lan was also helpless about this. Everything about his son was good except this one thing.

Xu Song waited for a long time but received no reply, so he had to continue to go to the "King's Canyon" alone.

He is in the □□ zone. As long as you add a □□ friend, you can see the other person's name in "Honor of Kings".

He saw a name—Ning Qingxu. He immediately realized he'd added Ning Qingxu on social media before. He'd also asked him if he played games, to which Ning Qingxu replied, "Occasionally."

Only Ning Qingxu could use his real name as his game ID.

With a nervous mood, he slid his fingertips across the screen, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he clicked it.

The invitation to "team up to play in the King's Glory" quickly reached Ning Qingxu. Ning Qingxu, on the other side, received the message and thought it was an advertisement, so he ignored it.

Xu Song waited for a few minutes, but then lost his patience. Guessing he was sick, he left him alone and went to play.

Ningcheng No. 4 Middle School is very concerned about the health of its students. Even in the third year of high school, the school will still organize teachers to take a lunch break.

Regarding lunch break, Xiaoyu didn't specify what they were supposed to do, but hinted that anything would be considered, as long as it wasn't out of the ordinary. The better students would take advantage of the break to involuntarily do something, while the poorer students would do anything.

They have a rule for lunch break, which is even included in the school rules.

Article 10 of the school regulations states: "During lunch break, the homeroom teacher must ensure that the classroom environment is suitable for naps, and students must not make noise during lunch break..."

Maybe it's because the environment needs to be dim, and Xiaoyu has done this very well. Let me put it this way, during lunch break, I opened my eyes and it was all dark. The kind where you can't even see people face to face.

Jiang Songyu: Little Songsong~Are you there~

Xu Song: Don’t call me Xiao Songsong.

During lunch break, Jiang Songyu asked him if he wanted to play games. He was feeling bored and was more than happy to have someone to relieve his boredom, so he readily agreed.

When I went online, I saw a familiar name out of the corner of my eye.

Ning Qingxu is online.

Online! Online! He's online! He's actually online!

Xu Song had never seen him play games, and Xu Song didn't believe that he could play games when he was in a bad mood.

I invited him several times, but he neither agreed nor refused - he opened the restaurant himself.
