Chapter 101: Easing

Chapter 102: Easing

As soon as Fang Qing returned to the dormitory, he was cornered by Wang Nan and Zhang Jiaqi.

Wang Nan looked Fang Qing up and down with a wicked smile on his face, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, aren't you two too impatient? It's only been a day since we last met, are you really so reluctant to part? You actually went..."

The rest of Wang Nan's words were suppressed by Zhang Jiaqi, who glared at Wang Nan, then looked at Fang Qing and laughed, "Fang Qing, don't listen to her nonsense. The president said last night that you were not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?"

Fang Qing knew that what happened last night would definitely lead to misunderstanding, so he might as well explain it clearly. So he calmly sat down on the chair, changed into slippers, and explained.

"I felt a little uncomfortable yesterday and had a fever at night. Wen Ning took care of me all night. Don't think too much about it."

Wang Nan pried open Zhang Jiaqi's hand that was covering her mouth, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Fang Qing's calm explanation, she still didn't believe it, "Hey, you two...didn't do anything? What a great opportunity!"

Fang Qing held his forehead and sighed, "Student Wang Nan, what are you disappointed about?"

Wang Nan smiled and sat down to lean against Fang Qing's eyes and muttered, "Hey, we are so familiar with each other, there is nothing we can't talk about. Hey, you two are so inseparable every day, it makes us feel excited. We are also curious, how far have you two progressed?"

At the same time, Wen Ning lowered his eyelids as he looked at his roommate's glowing eyes, rolled up his sleeves calmly, and said, "The hand-holding step."

A group of boys were immediately disappointed, but some did not believe it.

"Wen Ning, we are all buddies. We all know this. Your girlfriend is so pretty. Can you hold back?"

Wen Ning looked at him seriously and said, "I like her, but I respect her more. So don't guess, nothing happened between us."

After hearing this explanation, roommates from both dormitories were somewhat disappointed, but they also made private bets to see when this fairy-tale couple would finally get sued.

At noon, Tang Xiaoyu finally had a good rest and ran over to settle the score with Wen Ning.

"Brother Ning, I came to the dormitory to look for you yesterday, but they all said you went out and didn't come back all night. Where did you go?"

Seeing Tang Xiaoyu's expression of wanting to accuse him, Wen Ning's face darkened. "How dare you ask? Let me ask you, did you know that Qingqing was allergic to peach hairs? You dragged her to pick peaches even though you knew she was not feeling well. Tang Xiaoyu, I didn't know you had fallen to this level. She had a high fever last night, and I watched over her all night. What else do you want to ask?"

Seeing Wen Ning's unprecedented seriousness, Tang Xiaoyu recalled everything that happened yesterday. No wonder Fang Qing wanted to buy peaches, but she kept covering her mouth and nose and stood far away, hesitated for a long time after she asked her to pick peaches, soaked her hands in cold water after leaving the peach orchard, and even had those abnormal reactions in the car...

Although Tang Xiaoyu still hated Fang Qing, she really didn't know that Fang Qing was allergic to peach fuzz. She thought she was just pretending to be so for her to see. She felt a little guilty when she thought about what she did yesterday.

"Brother Ning, then... is she feeling better?"

Wen Ning sighed, "Okay, why don't you go and see for yourself." After saying that, Wen Ning paused, thinking about the unpleasantness between the few of them in such a short period of time, he felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with her.

So he took his lunch box and went to the cafeteria, talking to Tang Xiaoyu as he walked.

"Xiaoyu, when you first came to our house at the age of five, you were very obedient and well-behaved. Although I didn't like children, I started to treat you like my own sister after getting to know you better. After so many years, you have always been that well-behaved and sensible little girl in my heart. You were, and are, and I hope you will still be in the future."

Wen Ning paused and glanced at the girl beside him, "You have grown up. You should understand many things even if I don't explain them. There is no possibility between us."

Tang Xiaoyu followed with her head down. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Wen Ning, "Why not? Tell me what's wrong with me and I will change!"

Wen Ning sighed, "You're great, but to me, you're just a sister, not the partner I expect in the future. Besides, you're fine the way you are now, Xiaoyu, don't change yourself for anyone, being yourself is the best."

Tang Xiaoyu shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "So, Fang Qing is the person you're waiting for? I don't understand. Why am I inferior to her?"

Wen Ning sighed, "You still don't understand. You can't force feelings. Xiaoyu, people are different. Even if you change yourself to imitate Qingqing's personality, I won't like you, because that's not you. You will only make people feel hypocritical and unhappy. You belong to another happy world, so don't change yourself for anyone, do you understand?"

Tang Xiaoyu felt a little emotional. This was the first time Brother Ning had talked to her so much since she was a child, and he was actually advising her to let go.

"Brother Ning, you are so cruel."

After saying that, Tang Xiaoyu looked at Wen Ning for a while, and felt that it would be useless if she stayed any longer, so she turned and left.

Wen Ning watched her leave in silence, sighed, and turned to go to the cafeteria to get food.

It was already noon when Fang Qing woke up. She got up to wash her face and change her clothes. When she was combing her hair, Li Yuehong from the next door dormitory knocked on the door and called her downstairs, "Fang Qing, your boyfriend is looking for you!"

Fang Qing responded, combed her hair, and quickly ran downstairs.

After Wen Ning’s reprimand last time, all the female students passing by now knew that Wen Ning was Fang Qing’s boyfriend. They just looked at him curiously but no longer came forward to disturb him.

Sitting in the small garden, Wen Ning opened the lunch box. Today's dishes were relatively light. Wen Ning took out a spoon and asked Fang Qing to dig in and eat. Fang Qing was a little surprised to see that there was only one box of rice. "Why is there only one serving of rice? Where's yours?"

Wen Ning stroked his fingers, looked at the scenery in the distance and replied calmly, "I've eaten, you can just eat it."

Fang Qing did not suspect anything and discussed with him how to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival while eating.

"Are you going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival? I bought a basket of peaches yesterday. If you go home, I can give half of them to your family."

Wen Ning smiled and shook his head, "There are a lot of things to do in the hospital, and it's hard to get a seat if you buy a ticket now. I can't rest for a few days and then have to come back again. It's really troublesome."

Fang Qing nodded, "Yeah, after all, the trains are still very slow nowadays." After saying this, Fang Qing was stunned. She relaxed for a moment and actually said such a thing.

Wen Ning beside him laughed when he heard this, "You talk as if you have seen a fast train. However, compared with foreign countries, our current speed is indeed not fast. I heard that the country is vigorously building new railways. Perhaps in the near future, it is not impossible for trains to speed up..."

Fang Qing looked at Wen Ning's profile and sighed. Men's intuition was so accurate. In the past ten years, the development and construction of the motherland had indeed achieved a qualitative leap. Whether in the economy or in infrastructure, breakthroughs had been made, and it had gradually stood at the forefront of the world.
