Chapter 238 Collision

Shen Xuewei noticed something was off about her voice, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Chen Fanglan covered her burning forehead and tried to sniff through her stuffy nose.

"It's nothing, I think I have a slight fever, so I shouldn't go back..."

Shen Xuewei became anxious, "Auntie, have you seen a doctor? Don't keep delaying and hiding at home. What if your illness gets worse?"

Chen Fanglan wanted to go, but as soon as she got up, she felt dizzy and her bones felt sluggish.

Seeing that Chen Fanglan didn't speak, Shen Xuewei hurriedly said, "Auntie, wait at home. I'll come find you now and go with you to see the doctor."

Chen Fanglan swallowed hard, her throat dry and sore. "Come back after you finish your class..."

"It's okay, the last class is history, I can study on my own later. That's settled then, you wait for me at home, I'll be there soon."

She's so sick; if she waits until after her classes to go, she'll probably have a brain injury from the fever.

Shen Xuewei put away her phone and quickly ran to the office to ask her teacher for leave.

As the class's primary focus, upon hearing that Shen Xuewei wanted to ask for leave, Teacher Qin asked:

"What's the reason for your absence? There's still one class left before school ends. Why don't you just go home after school?"

Shen Xuewei said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher, I can't wait until school is over. My aunt is very sick, and I'm afraid she'll faint at home..."

Teacher Qin exclaimed, "Oh, it's quite serious."

She tore off a leave slip and handed it to Shen Xuewei, saying, "Go ahead, don't waste time."

"Thank you, teacher."

Shen Xuewei took the leave slip, turned around and left. She returned to her seat, briefly wrote down the reason for her leave, grabbed her schoolbag from under the desk, and quickly ran downstairs to the school gate.

After handing the leave slip to the security guard at the school gate, she rushed out of the school.

A few tricycles and motorcycles were already waiting at the school gate. Shen Xuewei waved and hailed a motorcycle, heading towards Chen Fanglan's residence.

Using the key to open the door, Shen Xuewei rushed into Chen Fanglan's room.

Chen Fanglan was delirious with fever. When she saw Shen Xuewei arrive, she weakly reached out her hand to her, "Weiwei..."

"Auntie, save your energy, I'll take you to the hospital first."

She casually tossed her schoolbag onto the sofa and helped Chen Fanglan out the door.

The two arrived at a nearby hospital, where the doctor adjusted his glasses after taking their temperatures.

"The temperature is still quite high, it's almost forty degrees. You just said your nose was stuffy and your throat hurt, right? Come on, open your mouth so I can see."

Chen Fanglan opened her mouth wide to show him the condition of her throat.

The doctor pressed down on her tongue with a cotton swab and saw a red, swollen, inflamed tonsil.

He tossed the cotton swab next to the trash can and quickly started prescribing her medication.

"Get an injection in your butt at the hospital first, then have an IV drip. Take your medicine when you get home, and eat a light diet for the next few days, avoiding spicy food..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Fanglan said with a pained expression, "Doctor, can I take medicine instead of getting an injection?"

The doctor paused, pen in hand. "If you only take medicine and not get an IV drip, the illness will heal more slowly and the effect will be less. Getting an IV drip will help you recover faster."

Just as Chen Fanglan was about to say that it would be better to go slower, Shen Xuewei interrupted her.

"Doctor, don't listen to her. Injections are more effective, right? We'll get the injections. You can just prescribe them for her."

The doctor looked up at the two of them, observed their faces for a second, and confirmed that the younger one was in charge. He then readily agreed to the procedure as Shen Xuewei had suggested.

Chen Fanglan sat on the stool, looking up at Shen Xuewei's cold chin, her mouth opened but she didn't dare to speak.

The aunt's authority vanished at this moment, and she leaned weakly against Shen Xuewei.

After leaving the doctor's office, Shen Xuewei helped Chen Fanglan walk towards the small cubicle where she received the injection.

Seeing the nurse bring over the medicine bottle, Chen Fanglan couldn't help but squeeze Shen Xuewei's arm tightly.

"Weiwei, maybe we shouldn't get the shot? Your auntie is terrified of needles. I get scared just seeing the needle go into my flesh..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuewei reached out and covered her eyes.

"Okay, Auntie, you can't see it now."

She was afraid of injections, but when Shen Xuewei saw her at the beauty salon having acupuncture done, she looked on with anticipation...

Chen Fanglan was speechless, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Shen Xuewei helped pull down her pants, and as her buttocks tightened, she received a shot in the buttocks.

Then they started administering IV drips.

Only after the bandages were all tied did Shen Xuewei remove her hands from covering the girl's eyes.

Shen Xuewei helped her hold the IV drip bottle and walked towards the infusion room.

The IV drip took a full two hours to finish, as it was getting dark.

The two then took a motorcycle back home.

Chen Fanglan ate something, took her medicine, and then fell asleep due to drowsiness.

Shen Xuewei stretched her body, glanced at the schoolbag on the sofa, picked it up, and was about to take it back to her room.

However, as soon as I picked it up, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why is this backpack so light?

She suddenly slapped her forehead. "Oh no, I left school in such a hurry that I forgot to pack the books I need to preview and my weekend homework."

With the weekend and the New Year's Day holiday combined, there are a total of three days off, so there is more homework than usual.

If she waits until she goes back to school to do it, she probably won't have time to finish.

After considering it all, she decided to rush back to school to retrieve it.

Before returning to school, she still called Teacher Qin to ask.

Upon learning that the school was still open, I quickly went downstairs, hailed a motorcycle, and headed to the school.

When she arrived at the school gate, she made an appointment with the motorcycle driver to wait for her for a few minutes so she could pick up her things and come out immediately.

The driver readily agreed, "Sure, no problem. There aren't many people needing a ride right now anyway, I can wait for you here."

"But remember to come out quickly, don't keep me waiting too long."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm just grabbing something, it won't take long."

She first gave the driver the fare from her trip there, and then quickly ran towards the classroom.

Unlike its usual bustling state, the teaching building was eerily quiet.

Shen Xuewei felt for the key through the crack in the window, opened the door, returned to her seat, took a few books and test papers, and brought them out.

After closing the classroom door, I immediately ran towards the school gate.

When she arrived at the school gate, she was about to call the driver when she discovered that the driver and his motorcycle had vanished without a trace.

Looking at the deserted school gate and the sky that was almost completely dark, Shen Xuewei's smile froze on her face.

She cursed under her breath, and seeing that she couldn't wait for a car, she had no choice but to walk out along the road.

There's a forest nearby outside the school. Once you cross that forest, you'll see the outlines of nearby houses, and then you can find other motorcycle taxis.

It was getting dark and she couldn't see the road clearly, so Shen Xuewei took her phone out of her pocket and turned on the flashlight to light the way.

After walking for more than ten minutes on the deserted gravel path, a sharp, piercing scream suddenly came from the woods on the left, startling Shen Xuewei so much that she dropped her phone to the ground.

She bent down to pick it up when something seemed to dart out of the woods.

The next moment, he bumped into Shen Xuewei.
