Chapter 127 "Baby, Don't Get Wet"

Hospital, operating room.

He Xilou was lying on the hospital bed and was pushed into the VIP ward by the doctor to rest.

He was injured on his cheek, with a noticeable scar on his brow bone, his lips were pale, and there was dried blood at the corners of his mouth. He looked in a miserable state.

After a long time, he weakly opened his eyes.

There was a row of people standing in front of the bed.

Meng Shiyi was still wearing that beautiful pleated skirt, with worry in her eyes, and asked him softly if it hurt.

She came to see him.

He Xilou comforted her without thinking, "It doesn't hurt."

"Fuck, you're just being stubborn, aren't you hurt?" Lu Shijie, sitting next to him, urged, "Tell me, why did you get into a fight? One against three? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

He Xilou had just stood up and his knee injury had not yet fully healed. Even strenuous exercise was strictly prohibited, but this guy went out to fight.

It's one against three.

Under normal circumstances, He Xilou could easily fight five people at once, but this happened because his legs were seriously injured.

Those three boys teamed up to beat him up. Isn't he asking for death?

Jiang Yue sighed, "Luckily, two female teachers came by in time, otherwise they would have beaten you back into the wheelchair. What would you do if you had any sequelae?"

Meng Huaili also asked, "Why did the fight start? You don't know those three people. Did they provoke you?"

He Xilou glanced at Meng Shiyi silently, then turned away, speaking in a calm tone:

“I just don’t like them.”

Lu Shijie gave a thumbs up: "666, you are awesome, okay."

Meng Shiyi didn't say anything, but just sat beside him quietly, peeling an apple with a knife and handing him a slice with a fork.

He Xilou raised the corners of his lips slightly. Instead of taking it with his hands, he opened his mouth and bit one end of the apple.

The sweet taste spreads throughout the mouth.

He Xilou's heart seemed to be slowly filled with sweetness, and he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat speed up. He silently mouthed:

"Thank you, baby."

Meng Huaili was speechless: "I'm not dead yet."

Lu Shijie and Jiang Yue also wanted to poke their own eyes out.

No, is this still the He Xilou they know?

What the hell is this cheap and worthless look?

It was not until the evening that the group left the hospital.

Before leaving, I specifically told him to rest more and not go to school every day.

The ward returned to silence.

After a while, Meng Huaili came back and opened the door again.

He Xilou raised his eyes, "What?"

Meng Huaili stared at the scars on his face and asked, "Just now, when they were here, you didn't want to talk about it. Now can you tell me why you hit them?"

How could He Xilou be the type of person who gets angry just because he dislikes someone? I heard that when someone provoked him during the basketball game before, he ignored them and was too lazy to respond.

Arguing or fighting with that kind of person is just a waste of his precious time.

"Tell me, is it related to poetry?" Meng Huaili softened his tone.

He Xilou rolled his Adam's apple, turned his head, and said "hmm" softly.

He Xilou still remembers that he couldn't stand steadily on his legs, but he still pinned down two of the men and beat them up, and the other boy punched him in the face.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He couldn't control his hands at all and wanted to smash their phones.

Later, he lay on the ground and saw two female teachers passing by. He handed over their cell phones that had fallen on the ground.

The private album contains not only photos of dozens of girls, but even private photos of boys going to the toilet, which is extremely disgusting.

One of the female teachers was the head of the department. She immediately turned serious and reported the matter to her superiors and then called the police.

Academic qualifications do not represent character. Repeatedly filming someone's private parts will result in 15 days of detention and serious violation of university regulations, leading to expulsion.

After listening to this, Meng Huaili was silent for a long time.

He Xilou said without any emotion: "Don't tell her."

So that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Meng Huaili looked at him deeply and said, "Well, I didn't intend to tell anyone. You should have a good rest recently."

The ward fell into silence.

"Are we still friends?" He Xilou suddenly asked.

Meng Huaili smiled angrily, "What do you think? Otherwise, I would be bored to come to see you every day. Have I said thank you?"

He Xilou chuckled silently.

At the end of June, Imperial University had final exams. The study atmosphere was tense and the library was packed with people.

He Xilou rested for a very long time. After the stitches on his legs were removed, he was finally able to stand up again.

The doctor once again advised him to rest well at home. If he had another accident, his leg might really be left with sequelae and become useless.

He Xilou has been busy handling company affairs these days and has not slept much for many days.

Today is also a day when I miss her so much.

Counting the days, Meng Shiyi is almost done with her exams.

He would go to see her after she finished her exams. He couldn't disturb her review, otherwise she would definitely find him annoying again...

Meng Shiyi has indeed been preparing for the exam seriously recently, intending to work hard to get a scholarship and improve her GPA.

On June 23rd, the temperature was exceptionally hot and humid.

She handed in her paper half an hour early, finished her last course, packed up and left.

The weather was changeable and heavy rain came unexpectedly.

The sudden downpour came suddenly and violently, the raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, splashing countless tiny water droplets. The whole world became blurred and shrouded in the rain.

Meng Shiyi didn't bring an umbrella, so she took out her cell phone and wanted to call her roommate to ask him to pick her up when he was free.

"Baby." A man's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.

Meng Shiyi suddenly looked back.

He Xilou stood by the corridor pillar, wearing an ordinary loose black short-sleeved T-shirt, revealing his well-defined forearms. The neckline was wide, revealing a hint of his sexy collarbone.

He was still wearing a black mask, exuding a cool and handsome look, but his phoenix eyes were staring at her without blinking, with a hint of cautious expectation in his laziness, and a strong sense of disconnection.

"Let's go," He Xilou leaned against her side and waved the long-handled umbrella in his hand, "I brought an umbrella and will accompany you back to the dormitory."

Then, he took out an exquisite pink packaging bag and stuffed it into Meng Shiyi's hand:

"Try the cookies I made."

...He actually knows how to make cookies?

Meng Shiyi opened the small bag, took out a small piece of caramel-colored biscuit, and took a bite.

He Xilou stared at her closely, waiting for her answer.

In fact, it tastes like ordinary biscuits, which is quite normal, a little sweet, and even a little... burnt.

Meng Shiyi slowly finished the whole cookie, chewing it carefully, "It's delicious."

He Xilou watched her eat a small piece of the biscuit he had made himself. He felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a gentle light shone in them:

"Well, let's go."

The umbrella is not big, but it is just enough to cover two people.

He Xilou's umbrella was always tilted towards her, unconditionally leaning towards her.

After leaving the teaching building, the road was flooded, reflecting the overlapping figures of the two people.

Meng Shiyi walked beside He Xilou and could smell a faint cold fragrance on him, as well as a hint of medicine.

He has been in the hospital these days and must have suffered a lot.

Meng Shiyi glanced at his slightly stiff legs and felt a dry throat. "Didn't I tell you not to come? The doctor recommended that you walk less recently."

"But..." He Xilou's voice suddenly lowered, with a hint of grievance in his voice, like a large dog drenched in rain, "I can't wait to see you."

Meng Shiyi pursed her lips and asked, "Is your leg better?"

"Yeah, I'm much better now, don't worry."

The rain was getting heavier. He Xilou calmly put his arm around Meng Shiyi's shoulders and restrainedly pulled her into his arms.

"Stay close to me, baby, and don't get wet."

When He Xilou's fingertips touched her shoulder, his heart almost burst out of his chest, greedy for the sweet scent around her.

He really wanted to be a little closer to her.

He Xilou hopes that the road back to the dormitory will be longer and never end, so that he can spend more time with Shiyi.

But the dormitory building is just around the corner.

As usual, He Xilou watched Meng Shiyi's back quietly and lonely as she went up the stairs.

Just then.

The figure suddenly turned back.

Meng Shiyi turned around, walked up to him in small steps, and said softly, "Thank you for today."

He Xilou's Adam's apple rolled, "Then can you please release me from the blacklist?"

God knows how much he wanted to message her again, to say good night to her every day, even if she didn't reply.

Meng Shiyi paused and nodded: "Okay."

She agreed.

He Xilou curled his fingertips slightly at his side and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Can you... hug me?"
