Chapter 6: Infirmary Did he go too far?
The sudden onset of this "random attack" gave Fu Liangxia a bad feeling. Afraid of losing consciousness here, leaving no one to notice and no time for treatment, she almost ran to the door and quickly opened it.
"It's healed so soon?"
Su Xingshu, who was waiting at the door, saw the door being opened, raised his head and asked, Fu Liedong and Wang Ziwei were standing behind him.
The tall boy had a gentle smile on his face. Although the smile didn't reach his eyes, he was still surprisingly handsome. "My original plan happened to be cancelled, so I came back to change clothes first. Where are you going now? The class lounge?"
Very considerate, very consistent with his external personality, his attitude is much better than Cheng Xingzhou who just left.
But Fu Liangxia felt that he might not have the chance to go to the class lounge.
"No..." She was thinking about how to naturally ask for the location of the infirmary. Just as she started thinking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. Her whole body twitched as if she had been electrocuted, and her legs suddenly went limp.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?!" Fu Liedong was startled and instinctively took two steps forward.
"No...it's okay." Fu Liangxia leaned his right arm against the wall next to him to steady himself. His face was pale, and the pain grew worse with every breath.
She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't want to say anything and just wanted to lie down in the infirmary.
However, Fu Liedong was still yelling noisily, and Wang Ziwei was frightened by her attitude of getting sick as soon as she said she would.
On the contrary, Su Xingshu, who had been so considerate and caring just now, now looked at her like this, and just stood beside her with his arms folded, looking at her with a look of scrutiny.
Wouldn't it be possible to give her unnecessary fantasies just by letting her use my lounge?
Su Xingshu looked hesitant and felt a little impatient.
Fu Liangxia has been very sensitive to other people's emotions since she was a child. When she felt Su Xingshu's strange gaze, a light flashed in her mind and she suddenly realized something.
No way, is he suspecting that she is faking illness?
Fu Liangxia's eyes went white, but she was surprisingly able to keep her mind clear, or perhaps the pain made her think faster.
I remember the original book mentioning that Su Xingshu was severely harassed as a child because of his good looks, which left a deep psychological scar and made him fearful of women. Later, for some reason, he went from one extreme to another—he began to change girlfriends like crazy.
Maybe it's a way to fight fear.
But he still hates nymphomaniacs, especially those of the opposite sex who want to have physical contact with him and touch him.
So even though he had dated so many girlfriends, he had never even held hands with them, let alone hugged them.
Thinking of this, Fu Liangxia recalled that Su Xingshu's charm was indeed only expressed in his face and sweet words. Anyone who wanted to touch him secretly was blocked by his followers.
That makes sense... No way, he wouldn't think that she's pretending to faint in order to get closer to him, right?
...I really hope these men can give her some confidence.
"Can you still walk by yourself?" Su Xingshu asked.
Wang Ziwei realized the coldness in Su Xingshu's words and asked in surprise, "Brother Su?"
"It should be possible..." Fu Liangxia frowned, pressed the solar plexus hard with his left hand, and nodded with effort, not wanting Su Xingshu to think that he was deliberately taking advantage of him.
She tried to move closer to Fu Liedong so that if she couldn't hold on, she wouldn't fall on Su Xingshu.
But things don't always go as planned.
[Random illness loading completed, please prepare yourself.]
Su Xingshu nodded and started walking towards the lounge again: "In that case, go to the infirmary by yourself--"
Before he could finish his words, the girl not far away collapsed towards him.
Wang Ziwei: "Is she going to travel through time?"
Fu Liedong: "...Get lost."
“…”
Su Xingshu frowned the moment the girl fell down and instinctively wanted to dodge away.
But the other two men were unable to catch her at such a distance. With his remaining conscience, he forced himself to stay where he was, stretched out a hand and grabbed her collar, barely saving Fu Liangxia from almost hitting her face on the ground.
The weight beneath his hand was incredibly light. Because the shirt was too loose, as he pulled it, the back of her slender, white neck and a small area of snow-white skin beneath it were exposed.
Like a swan with its head lowered, fragile and cold.
But Su Xingshu's patience was limited to this: "Fu Liedong, come and support me."
"Huh? Oh, okay!"
As a qualified follower, Fu Liedong never asked why. His father taught him that all he had to do was to execute the orders.
Taking Fu Liangxia from Su Xingshu, he began to think about whether to send his sister to the infirmary now, or wait for Brother Su to change his clothes before going together...
In the end, his concern for his sister outweighed his instinct to be a lackey. Fu Liedong said something and ran to the infirmary half-carrying Fu Liangxia.
Su Xingshu was unaware of the inner turmoil of his follower. He glanced at the girl, who seemed to have lost consciousness. Her lips were pale, her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face, and there was a slight bead of sweat on her sides. She looked clearly very uncomfortable.
So, it's not fake?
Wang Ziwei rarely showed his disagreement. He looked at Fu Liedong running away and whispered, "Brother Su, it seems that classmate Fu is really not feeling well, isn't it..."
"Um."
Su Xingshu silently withdrew his gaze and clenched his fingers, which seemed to still have the cool touch of the shirt and the smooth feeling that separated at the touch.
A rare feeling of guilt welled up in my heart.
Did he go too far?
…
"It's not a big deal, just a little malnourished. He should wake up after the IV. If he fainted suddenly, it's mainly due to low blood pressure or low blood sugar. You can go to the hospital for a checkup when you have time."
"However, considering this student's medical history, other factors cannot be ruled out... He should still make sure to rest."
"I still have some work to take care of here. If you need anything, you can find me next door."
"Okay, thank you, doctor. You can go ahead and do your work."
“…”
"Your sister has always been in poor health?"
"Well, she's been in the hospital frequently ever since I can remember. She spends more time in the sanatorium than at home year-round. My parents don't dare let her move around much, and the most she can usually do is go to the small garden in the sanatorium."
"But you know, Brother Su, we used to live in the downtown area. The sanatorium there isn't even half the size of our college, not to mention the small garden inside. So this might be the first time my sister has walked so much today, and she's tired..."
The sound of conversation came faintly through the door, waking Fu Liangxia up.
She opened her eyes and saw curtains covered with light gold embroidery, a high marble-gray ceiling, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense.
As expected of an aristocratic academy's infirmary, it was even more magnificent than the living room of her previous life.
It’s great to have money.
She also wanted to be a rich person whose home clinic was bigger than an ordinary person's entire house.
"You're awake."
Just as Fu Liangxia was staring at the ceiling in a daze, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
