After talking with Bao Ni's mother, Teacher Zhai felt much more relaxed.
She knew that what Bonnie's mother said couldn't be true; at that moment, she just wanted some psychological comfort to make herself feel better.
Regardless, deep down, she harbored a tiny bit of hope and a tiny bit of peace of mind.
In the following days, Teacher Zhai came over even more frequently to chat with Bao Ni's mother and grandmother, allowing herself to experience the warmth of everyday life.
During her time learning foreign languages, after getting off work, Bao Ni would pick up Qiao Qiao and come over to help her grandmother and mother cook. Sometimes Teacher Zhai would also come over, allowing them to experience the warmth and liveliness of family.
After school, Liu Jiu and the others would take the bus to eat, and after eating, they would go back to study with Teacher Zhai.
Lin Bo and his wife were very grateful when they learned that their son had been sent to the preschool by Bao Ni. They bought a lot of local specialties and mailed them to them. They also bought clothes and toys for the children, including Xuan Yu and Xuan Yi.
Bao Ni's mother felt that Lin Bo and his wife understood human relationships and were not making assumptions.
The packages that Bao Ni's mom and the others sent earlier have arrived. They mostly contain seafood. During those few days, even Professor Gao and his wife came over to eat the authentic seafood that Bao Ni's mom made. It tasted really good.
This time, Bonnie wasn't too surprised to receive the package from Lin Bo and his wife.
Lin Bo was intelligent from a young age and understood human relationships better than his two older brothers. Since he joined the army, he has sent things to the children every year, each a small token of his affection.
Bonnie is the kind of person who reciprocates kindness in return. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used her connections to get Qiaoqiao into school and even provided transportation.
With more contact with Teacher Zhai and Bao Ni's mother, and with the support of Sanqi and others in her studies, she felt that she had let go of a lot of things.
When I feel better, I feel much better physically, but I don't know if it's just my imagination.
With Teacher Zhai by her side, Bao Ni felt much more at ease. He was a native of Beijing and took Bao Ni's parents and grandparents on a leisurely stroll through the streets and alleys of Beijing, allowing them to experience the city in detail.
June slowly slipped by, the weather got hotter and hotter, and people wore thinner clothes. More than ten days had passed since Aunt Lan and Bao Ni talked about that matter.
Sister Lan has been searching for the girl she saw all this time, but unfortunately, she hasn't found her. She was too surprised at the time to notice what she looked like.
"Bonnie, do you think I saw it wrong? Maybe that child just felt he was too fat, so he wanted to tighten his stomach?"
"I hope so, otherwise something bad is going to happen."
Bonnie felt the chances were slim, but she couldn't find that girl.
The affiliated school has over a thousand students in junior and senior high school. How can we find them all, especially when everything is uncertain? If the parents find out, they'll probably smash up the school. Bonnie can't afford that.
"Sigh, I wish I hadn't seen it. Now, I always feel uneasy, it's almost becoming a mental illness. It's so hot today, the heat is making me anxious."
The orchid was troubled and fanned itself with a book.
"It's getting hot. It's already June, and the cucumbers at home are almost ready to eat."
"However, your vegetables are really well grown. When the cucumbers are in season, don't forget to let us have a taste."
With Lan Hua's attention diverted, Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, seeing her so agitated would have been quite unpleasant.
"Alright, everyone go back to the classroom and stop making noise."
"Go find the car, hurry up..."
There's a lot of noise outside, and I can't hear anything clearly.
Teacher Ma also came out. "What's wrong? Why do I hear it so noisy outside?"
"I don't know. There are classes having PE outside. Could some students be injured?"
Bonnie has very sensitive hearing and managed to get the gist of it: someone had fainted at school and the teachers were organizing a trip to the hospital.
Bonnie told the others what she had heard, and although they were curious, they didn't go out and cause trouble.
After a short while, it became quiet outside, and the matter should have been resolved.
Neither Bonnie nor Orchid expected that the girl they had been searching for would be the one who got into trouble.
At the hospital, the teachers who had come with them were stunned. What did the doctor mean? The student was pregnant, and almost seven months along.
"Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is just a child, a high school freshman. How could this be?"
"There's no mistake, it's been seven months, how could we be wrong? You should contact the parents right away, we need to find out how the child came to be, whether he was bullied?"
The doctor understood the teachers' thoughts and was not angry about having his medical skills questioned.
The girl got heatstroke because she had several layers of bed sheet wrapped around her stomach and was wearing too many clothes, and she was in the sun during her PE class outside.
Among the teachers was the girl's homeroom teacher, who knew the girl's home and had visited her family. At this time, no one was home; everyone was at work.
"Teacher Huang, please stay here for a while. I'm going back to school to find the phone numbers for the child's parents' workplaces. We need them to come over. What's the matter?"
"Teacher Li, you go ahead. Teacher Zhao and I will stay here so we can look after each other."
The physical education teacher and Teacher Zhao stayed at the hospital, while the homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, rushed back to the school, found the phone number of the student's mother's workplace, and dialed it.
"Hello, can I find Qiao Hui?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go call them, and they'll call back later."
The call was disconnected, and Ms. Li could only wait. Time seemed to be passing too slowly; she checked her watch several times, but not two minutes had actually elapsed.
After five or six minutes, Teacher Li couldn't wait to dial the phone, "Hello, I'm looking for Qiao Hui."
"I'm Qiao Hui, who's looking for me?"
Ms. Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I am Ms. Li, Zhang Xiaoxia's homeroom teacher. Zhang Xiaoxia fainted during PE class. We took her to the hospital, and the doctor told us to contact her parents."
"Teacher Li, what happened to Xiaoxia? She fainted. What did the doctor say?"
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Hui asked anxiously. She was busy with work and had noticed that her daughter's complexion had been poor lately. She thought it was because of the hot weather and she had no appetite. After asking a few questions, her daughter said that she didn't want to eat because of the heat and that her stomach was uncomfortable, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Xiaoxia's mom, the doctor wants a parent to come over. Please contact Xiaoxia's dad and go to the hospital first. This is quite urgent."
Teacher Li had never encountered anything like this before and didn't know what to say. She couldn't possibly discuss Xiaoxia's pregnancy over the phone, not only because there were people coming and going in the office where she was calling, but also because there were other people on Xiaoxia's mother's end.
"I understand, Teacher Li. I'll contact Xiaoxia's father right now. Which hospital is she in?"
Teacher Li told her which hospital it was and that she would wait for them at the hospital entrance as soon as possible.
Teacher Li then went to the Dean of Students to report the matter, as it required the school's intervention.
The school leaders were also surprised, as their school had never had such a precedent. They asked Teacher Li and the grade leader to go over first, while they went to talk to the principal.
Several groups of people rushed to the hospital, not knowing who would arrive first, or what kind of earthquake it would trigger!
