☆、Forty-two、Has it become a spirit? It's all blood! (2604 words)

Feng Zihao fell silent and began to check Li Yaxi's exam supplies, afraid that he might have forgotten something.

Zhan Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at the sight.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit her brain, Li Yaxi's vision went black, and she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe.

He was leaning against the wall with one hand and clutching his chest with the other, panting heavily.

Feng Zihao was startled and quickly helped her up. "Ya Xi! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhan Xiaoyu had originally intended to make a few sarcastic remarks, but seeing Li Yaxi's pale face covered in cold sweat, he knew she was genuinely unwell and was very worried.

"Could it be pre-exam anxiety? What should I do? The exam is about to start!"

Qin Tian wanted to help him up, but Feng Zihao was blocking his way and he couldn't get close at all, so he could only worry helplessly.

Li Yaxi was feeling dizzy and had tinnitus. Her head was buzzing, and she was experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath.

Completely oblivious to their concerns, I slowly squatted down against the wall, closed my eyes, and gasped for breath, hoping to get some oxygen.

Feng Zihao panicked and prepared to carry Li Yaxi to the hospital, but Li Yaxi stopped him just as he was about to lift her up by the waist.

Although it was painful, the dizziness and throbbing only lasted for a few seconds.

Having just recovered, he saw that Feng Zihao's face was even paler than his own, and hurriedly comforted him.

"It's okay, I just had a sudden pain in my chest, but it's fine now, don't worry."

Feng Zihao clearly didn't believe him. "Go to the hospital!"

Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhao Yi were also worried about Li Yaxi's health, but the exam was about to start, and leaving at this time would be tantamount to giving up, so they could only remain silent.

Qin Tian had no say whatsoever.

Li Yaxi took a few deep breaths, smiled at them, and said, "Don't worry, everything's alright."

But that pale, weak smile was utterly unconvincing, making one even more worried.

Feng Zihao was about to speak when a bell rang, interrupting him.

Li Yaxi checked the time and pushed Feng Zihao into his exam room. "Alright, alright, I promise I'm really fine. The exam has started. You guys do your best and don't worry about me. Be careful that I get into university while you all don't!"

Feng Zihao said coldly, "Don't force yourself if you're not feeling well. Even if you don't take the exam, there will still be universities that will accept you. You can always wait another year. You're still young!"

Li Yaxi nodded, "Yes, I know, I know. I'm really fine. Don't worry about me. I won't force myself."

Even Li Yaxi herself didn't believe this. Although she was still dizzy and had chest tightness, she didn't feel as bad as before.

Seeing how determined he was, and that his complexion seemed better than before, Feng Zihao stopped talking and just looked at him with concern.

Qin Tian and Li Yaxi were in the same examination room. Seeing Li Yaxi's pale face, he suppressed his worry and said to Feng Zihao and the others...

"I'll be watching him!"

Feng Zihao nodded to Qin Tian and only returned to his examination room after being repeatedly urged by the teacher.

Qin Tian glanced at Li Yaxi every now and then, and seeing that he was writing the exam paper without any apparent abnormality, he felt a little relieved and began to answer the questions seriously.

The writing went smoothly until Li Yaxi felt increasingly unwell, feeling weaker and weaker, as if she was about to collapse.

I gritted my teeth and finally finished the test just as the bell rang.

This is the first time in history that Li Yaxi has finished the exam paper right on time.

He was unaware of the concerns Feng Zihao and Zhan Xiaoyu had for him, and he started writing as soon as he received the test paper.

In a serious exam like the college entrance examination, there are only those who feel there isn't enough time. Even if they finish the exam paper early, they will still wait until the last minute to hand in their papers.

So the teacher was very surprised that Feng Zihao and his classmates handed in their papers and left early. He wanted them to stay and check their work carefully one more time, but before he could say anything, they had already disappeared.

Feng Zihao and Zhan Xiaoyu were not in the same exam room, but after finishing the exam, they could only wait outside the school gate.

Some parents wanted to approach and ask questions when their children came out, wondering if it was difficult. However, Feng Zihao's icy expression, as if saying "anyone who gets close to me will die," made those parents hesitate.

Zhan Xiaoyu was the second to come out. The two looked at each other and then looked at a classroom in the examination room in a tacit manner.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Yi also came out. When he saw the two of them, he had an understanding look in his eyes, followed by worry.

The longer he waited, the more uneasy he became. Zhan Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but Zhao Yi stopped him and gestured with his eyes that it was best for him to remain silent.

The sound of that bell seemed to strike Feng Zihao's heart.

He rushed towards Li Yaxi's classroom and saw Qin Tian helping Li Yaxi out as soon as he reached the door. He quickly stepped forward and put his arm around her.

Her voice was filled with worry, "Ya Xi, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the hospital." She then prepared to carry him in her arms.

Li Yaxi pushed his hand away. "Zihao, find me a place to lie down. I'm dizzy."

Li Yaxi refused to let Feng Zihao hug her; if he did, it would probably be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow.

Feng Zihao had no choice but to help Li Yaxi walk towards the hotel he had booked.

Zhan Xiaoyu rushed to Qin Tian's side. "How is it?"

Qin Tian shook his head. "It doesn't seem like a good idea."

It wasn't just not good; he had already finished his exam and had been keeping an eye on Li Yaxi. The moment he rang the bell, he saw Li Yaxi collapse to the side, unable to support herself. At that moment, his heart jumped into his throat.

Feng Zihao helped Li Yaxi to the room. Li Yaxi said that her stomach was uncomfortable and she needed to go to the toilet, so Feng Zihao just waited outside.

Li Yaxi locked the door from the inside and slipped into the space.

Little Ears and Little Seven quickly ran over and affectionately rubbed their heads against Li Yaxi's legs.

Li Yaxi touched her two little heads and ran to see the land where she had planted ginseng. What she saw there was astonishing.

Although the ginseng roots weren't very big, they were starting to look more and more like people.

The words "ginseng essence" immediately popped into his mind.

If it were to become a spirit, that would be terrible! Li Yaxi hurriedly plucked a ginseng, but dared not make any rash decisions.

They dug out the soil bit by bit.

After digging out a piece of tissue, Li Yaxi felt some relief from her chest tightness.

He was somewhat surprised.

Isn't it true that he feels more comfortable the more things he grows? Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen ginseng, a plant that doesn't produce fruit and just keeps multiplying. Why is it that he feels more comfortable now that he's pulled up the ginseng?

His mind was focused but his hands didn't stop, until he had pulled out more than ten ginseng roots from the ground and lined them up.

The more I look at it, the more it resembles a human. Could it be that a ginseng that has become a spirit will absorb his blood and energy?

Although it's uncertain, this is the only way to put it.

My body doesn't feel so bad anymore, but I guess the ginseng has drained a lot of my life essence.

He glanced angrily at the row of human-shaped ginseng and then emerged from the space.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard Feng Zihao knocking on the door. The voice calling her name was trembling with unease. Li Yaxi felt a lump in her throat and quickly opened the door.

Feng Zihao, Zhan Xiaoyu standing next to him, Zhao Yi, and Qin Tian all visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but seeing Li Yaxi's exhausted face, he couldn't say anything.

Feng Zihao helped him lie down on the bed. "How are you? Are you feeling better? I've already called the doctor. Lie down for a while."

Li Yaxi nodded, then, as if remembering something, said, "Have the doctor bring some anemia medication; I'm having a hypoglycemic episode."

Feng Zihao fed him some milk and then sat quietly by his side, watching over him.

Zhan Xiaoyu brought in a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, glanced at the sleeping Li Yaxi, and whispered...

"Have something to eat. I had some porridge sent from home; it's in a thermos. I'll give it to Ya Xi when he wakes up."
