Chapter 15: Xingzhou’s Favorability is Weird
In a silent confrontation, the two looked at each other, neither of them seeing any sign of giving in in the other's eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Bai Kewei looked at this and then that, and smelled something bad.
Her new friend seemed to be in trouble.
Fortunately, the infirmary was not far away, and Xue Changgui, who had gone there in advance, had already called the school doctor inside.
When Bai Kewei saw the school doctor coming, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If the two of them continued to be in a stalemate, she didn't know what would happen.
The school doctor over there was also surprised to see Fu Liangxia: "Little girl, it's you again."
Fu Liangxia: “…”
Yes, it's her again.
…
Under the guidance of the school doctor, she was arranged to an empty ward. The ward was very bright and its decoration was similar to the one she had been lying in yesterday, but it was a little bigger.
Bai Kewei had a better physique than her. She only caught a cold after getting wet, so she went out with the school doctor to get cold medicine, while she stayed here to take her temperature.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was definitely seriously burned.
"hiss--"
Cheng Xingzhou didn't use much force to push her down, but because he was not skilled in the movements, her body tilted and fell on the hospital bed.
If you don't want to hug her, just say so. There's no need to use such underhanded tactics.
Fu Liangxia glared at him unhappily.
She was already running a fever and in severe pain all over her body. She wrapped herself in the quilt and curled up into a ball, not moving.
I really don't have the strength.
"Feel sorry."
Unexpectedly, a male voice suddenly came from far above.
Fu Liangxia opened her eyes with great effort and saw that Cheng Xingzhou had not left yet. He was standing there staring at her with an inexplicable expression, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Fu Liangxia was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know how to react to his rare soft attitude. After a moment, she said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much. Thank you for bringing me here..."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Her words were interrupted.
Fu Liangxia looked at him, waiting for his next words.
However, he stopped talking, just sighed suddenly, took her thermometer and turned to leave.
Fu Liangxia:?
What? It's so confusing.
But she was used to it. Cheng Xingzhou had always been like this, so strange. She gave up thinking and fell back on the bed.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen Su Xingshu since a while ago. I don't know where he went.
But it's none of her business.
"Xiao Xia, please change your clothes first."
The door was pushed open and Bai Kewei walked in with a clean school uniform in her hand.
"Thank you, Kewei." She forced herself to sit up and smiled.
Girls are really angels. I still remember the wet clothes on her body. It turns out that stinky men can't compare to her.
After putting the clothes down, Bai Kewei went out. Even though they were of the same sex, they were not familiar enough to be naked with each other.
Fu Liangxia endured the dizziness and slowly sat up, then began to take off her calf socks.
The snow-white thin socks were wet by the dirty water and stained with brown stains, which looked particularly unsightly.
Fu Liangxia felt a little sorry. These were her favorite pair of leg socks, a classic style from G brand. They cost her half a month's pocket money, and now they were scrapped like this.
Unlike other established chaebols, the Fu family had no such abundant cash flow. Almost all of the family's money was deposited into the company by Fu's father. Furthermore, in order to secure new projects, he had also taken out a large loan.
Therefore, she and Fu Liedong could only get very little pocket money, but all social activities in Saint Lander required money, and the more important the social event, the higher the cost.
Clothing is one of the major expenses.
Therefore, Fu Liangxia only dared to buy a few but fine clothes, and decorated them with expensive luxury brands in the details. The cost was far less than formal clothes, and it would not lose her status.
And the advantage of this classic decoration is that she can buy only two pieces to alternate between and not look shy.
But now—
It’s all the fault of those two bastards who splashed water on her... Thinking of this, she suddenly exerted force with her hands, and her nails dug deeply into the surface of the socks, leaving a long drag mark.
Because of these two idiots, she had to spend unnecessary expenses.
So fed up.
Throwing the socks into the trash can, Fu Liangxia took a last deep look at the discarded socks and vowed to make them pay the price.
Double.
She took a deep breath and began to slowly take off her clothes. The school uniform had been splashed with dirty water and gave off a damp and musty smell that was disgusting.
She almost couldn't wait to throw the clothes on the ground, and when she picked up the clothes on the bed, she suddenly found that the size was unexpectedly suitable.
…
After asking Xue Changgui to take the thermometer to the school doctor and calling him over, Cheng Xingzhou did not leave. He leaned against the wall and turned on his cell phone.
He still has things to deal with. It's the beginning of the semester, the busiest time of the year for the student union, and he has a lot to do.
In addition, there is also the handling of those two people.
Cheng Xingzhou recalled how miserable she looked not long ago, and felt inexplicably irritated.
People who are usually sharp-tongued will only be mean to him, right?
At that distance, she wouldn't be unable to hear the sound of water being poured down from the third floor. The girls next to her had reacted, so she shouldn't have been unable to dodge it.
If it wasn't to pretend to be pitiful and win his sympathy, then what else could it be?
Thinking of what she said, "It gave him the illusion that he was in good health," Cheng Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her health was not yet healed...
But she came to school.
Cheng Xingzhou, lost in thought, did not notice Bai Kewei hurriedly walking past him.
He thought for a moment, stood up straight, and prepared to ask Fu Liangxia.
In his dictionary, there is no concept of "high fever" at all, and naturally he doesn't think that a person with a fever can be in great pain. It's just a bad cold.
So Cheng Xingzhou didn't think about whether Fu Liangxia could answer him. He pressed the handle and pushed the door open.
The next second, I was dazzled by the scenery I saw.
On the hospital bed, the girl leaned against the headboard, her head bent to button her shirt. Her slender legs were slightly raised, half-hidden under the quilt, revealing a small piece of skin that was very tempting. The button was fastened to the second one from the top, and only a delicate collarbone could be seen.
Her black hair fell in front of her chest, and the water on it slightly wet her clothes.
Even though nothing was revealed, it inexplicably made people blush and their hearts beat faster.
“…”
Cheng Xingzhou stood there with a gloomy expression.
Fu Liangxia heard the door opening and thought it was Bai Kewei coming in. She half-closed her eyelids and asked, "Kewei, you changed your clothes so quickly?"
Her hands, trembling slightly from the high fever, couldn't button the button for a long time. She stared at it until her eyes were dazzled. Just when she was about to give up, a hand reached out.
Her bony hands deftly grasped the button, easily taming it, which she had been unable to straighten out before, and fastened it securely to her chest.
However, Fu Liangxia did not feel grateful at all.
Her eyes slid across the boy's slender hands, up along his arms, and finally fell on his face.
"What are you doing?"
Fu Liangxia frowned and didn't give him a good look.
She clearly saw that as she asked the question, the boy's long eyelashes behind his glasses trembled slightly, and then quickly returned to calm.
He took two steps back as if nothing had happened, the cold expression returning to his face. He scanned her from head to toe with that harsh gaze like a ruler. He said nothing, only chuckled.
Fu Liangxia: “……?”
What does he mean?
Fu Liangxia felt that his head seemed to hurt even more.
She didn't have the energy to glare at him. She put her hand on her burning forehead and slid weakly into the quilt.
Cheng Xingzhou in front of him was not as calm as he appeared.
He himself didn't know why he didn't close the door after seeing that scene, but instead walked in and helped her button her clothes.
He just suddenly thought of what Su Xingshu said when he was sent away: "What's wrong with you today? You suddenly care about your classmates? I didn't know you had such a warm heart."
There was a hint of mockery in his words.
Are you kind-hearted?
Of course not.
He just...
An unspeakable atmosphere spread in the air, and Cheng Xingzhou's gaze fell on the person curled up in the quilt.
The fluffy quilt covered her tightly, revealing only her snow-white face. Her long black hair was scattered messily on the pillow, and tiny drops of water slid from her forehead to her neck, finally disappearing under the quilt.
The pale pink cheeks and plump lips with teeth marks made his throat tighten for no reason.
Cheng Xingzhou curled up his fingers restrainedly and poured a glass of water from the water dispenser next to him.
Drink it all in one gulp.
During this time, his eyes were fixed on the person on the bed, without blinking.
Fu Liangxia looked up and saw this scene with a sense of something: "..."
She felt that what he drank was not water...but her.
Weird.
Fu Liangxia stretched out a hand from under the quilt: "I want one too."
Her tone was not as unfamiliar as she had tried to pretend to be. Perhaps it was because she was sick, she sounded inexplicably cute and naive.
Cheng Xingzhou stared at her for a few seconds, and just when Fu Liangxia thought he was not going to help her, he turned and walked towards the water dispenser.
"Gudong."
The water dispenser made a sound.
The water was handed to her in a disposable plastic cup.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What do you mean?" Fu Liangxia looked at him suspiciously and pointed at herself. "Isn't it obvious from where I look?"
Her forehead was so hot that she almost performed a steamed egg performance on the spot.
"I'm not asking about now, I'm asking...are you still not well?" Cheng Xingzhou stared at her, not missing any subtle expression on her face.
"Oh, you're talking about this." Fu Liangxia couldn't explain the rejection of the world consciousness, and said vaguely, "Almost."
As if realizing that she was not telling the truth, Cheng Xingzhou narrowed his eyes: "You..."
Before he could finish his words, the door suddenly opened. He turned to look at the school doctor who walked in. The doctor waved something in his hand and said, "Take the medicine. You should be fine after a good night's sleep."
As he spoke, he handed the antipyretic medicine to Fu Liangxia. After watching her finish eating it, he took Cheng Xingzhou, who was about to say something, away on the grounds that the patient needed to rest.
"Little classmate, girls will dislike you if you keep chattering like this..." The school doctor's voice gradually faded away.
With the sound of a door closing, the world fell silent again.
Fu Liangxia breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes in peace. As she had expected, life in Saint Lander was quite turbulent.
But before going to bed, she suddenly remembered something.
When meeting Su Xingshu and Fu Haoyao before, the system gave prompts, but Cheng Xingzhou did not. Is it because they knew each other before?
With this thought in mind, she tentatively called out the system in her mind to check Cheng Xingzhou's current favorability.
Then she was shocked by the number displayed.
[The current favorability of target person number two, "Cheng Xingzhou," is: 53.]
Fu Liangxia: “…”
Fu Liangxia: “???”
Doesn't he really hate her? How come he has such a high favorability rating?!
...According to the system's assessment, this was close to a close friendship. So, with this level of affection, he was being sarcastic and giving her the cold shoulder?
Fu Liangxia: What facial paralysis?
