Chapter 114 Chu Yanxiao is Poisoned
The woman took a deep breath, trying to calm her nervous mood, and told herself: It's just a missed exam. The young master is still young, and there will be a second one in a year. Moreover, with the Chu family's financial situation, the young master can live comfortably even if he doesn't study in this life, so it won't be a pity even if he misses it!
Thinking of this, the woman felt a lot less psychological pressure. She brought the cake into the study with a smile and placed it in front of Chu Yanxiao.
The woman tried to smile more naturally: "Master, you've been studying all day. Eat something and take a rest first."
Chu Yanxiao was working on a test paper with his head down, and just responded, "Okay, leave it there, we'll eat later."
As long as he raised his head, he could see that the woman's hands holding the plate were shaking visibly.
The woman quickly put down the cake and fled from the study, as if what she had just put down was not a cake, but a bomb that could explode at any time.
After Chu Yanxiao finished the last question, he picked up the fork and took a bite: it had a rich milky flavor, moderate sweetness, and the fruit was also crispy and sweet, exactly the kind of taste that Su Leyun would like.
He picked up another set of cutlery, divided out most of the cake, placed the fork, and placed it on Su Leyun's seat so that he could eat it as soon as he came back.
Su Leyun came out of the bathroom, replying to Su Minghui's message while packing up his books: "My mother asked me to go back."
Chu Yanxiao stopped writing, helped clean up, and then pushed the fruit cake in front of Su Leyun: "This is the cake that the maid just brought up. You can take it home and eat it."
The maid was very good at cooking. Usually, Su Leyun liked to eat the desserts she made the most. But today he was in a hurry to go home and had eaten a lot for lunch. There was no room in his stomach at the moment: "I'm not hungry yet. You can help me eat my share."
Chu Yanxiao nodded. He had a big appetite and usually Su Leyun would push the food he couldn't finish to him. He never complained and always accepted it all. The same went for today's cake.
Chu Yanxiao followed Su Leyun and sent him to the door. He watched his back as he left. Su Leyun took two steps toward the opposite door and turned back to look at him.
"Chu Yanxiao, don't be so nervous that you can't sleep."
Chu Yanxiao flatly denied: "I won't!"
Su Leyun smiled, stood on tiptoe and patted Chu Yanxiao's shoulder with a warm expression, and said earnestly like a little adult: "I hope you can achieve your goal, but even if you can't, the sky won't fall. We can still have the next goal. You have to relax."
Chu Yanxiao was actually quite nervous. He was 90% sure that he could go to the same school as Su Leyun, but he could not stand the 10% possibility of being separated from Su Leyun. So although he did not show it on the surface, he actually did not sleep well in the past few days. He often got up in the middle of the night to memorize a few words, hoping that his certainty could be increased to 100%.
Su Leyun's words made him feel much more at ease.
He knew that even if he couldn't keep up with Su Leyun, he would stop and wait for him and would not abandon him.
After figuring this out, the feeling of loss and gain that had troubled him for the past few days gradually faded away.
He smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I got it, go back quickly, and see you tomorrow!"
Su Leyun smiled back and waved with his back to him: "Okay! See you tomorrow!"
When they returned to the Su family, Su Minghui was waiting for Su Leyun at the door. Seeing him come back, she quickly took the book from his hand and showed concern for him: "Le Le, how do you feel about reviewing? Are you nervous?"
Su Leyun was still as calm as ever: "Mom, I think you are much more nervous than me."
He spread his hands helplessly: "I didn't see you this nervous when my elder brother and second brother took the college entrance examination."
Su Minghui was indeed a little nervous and sighed: "My elder brother and second brother were already adults when they took the college entrance examination, but you are different, you are still a child."
Su Leyun wanted to discuss a few more words with Su Minghui when a sharp explosion suddenly came from Chu Yanxiao's house opposite. He could vaguely hear someone shouting words like "Help".
Su Leyun's hair stood on end, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became nervous: "Oh no!"
By the time Su Minghui realized what was happening across the street, Su Leyun had already run over at an unprecedented speed and met a doctor who was rushing out of the house next door carrying a medicine box. He felt something was wrong and frowned tightly.
When they arrived at the Chu family, the doctor went straight to the second floor. Su Leyun's anxiety became more and more intense, and he followed without any hesitation.
I saw Chu's father, Fu Siwen and several servants of the Chu family gathered in Chu Yanxiao's room. The servant who had just brought them the cake was also standing at the door of the room with a worried look on his face.
Everyone had an anxious look on their face. Fu Siwen was so anxious that she started crying. She leaned on Chu's father's shoulder and looked like she would faint at the next second.
Although Father Chu's expression was not as revealing as others, his furrowed brows revealed his panic and anxiety.
Seeing Su Leyun, Fu Siwen cried, "Le Le, Xiao Xiao... I don't know what happened, he suddenly fainted!"
Su Leyun's heart sank. He pushed through the crowd and walked to the bed. Chu Yanxiao, who usually always smiled at him, was now curled up on the bed like a shrimp.
He did not walk towards him with a smile like he did every time before, but just lay on the bed with his eyes closed, not even noticing his approach.
Chu Yanxiao seemed to be enduring great pain. His originally fair skin turned red, and veins bulged on his neck and forehead. Even though he clenched his teeth tightly, painful groans still overflowed from his throat, making everyone present feel heartbroken.
Su Leyun squatted beside the bed and held Chu Yanxiao's face with his hands. He didn't react, but still subconsciously leaned against Su Leyun's hand.
This subconscious closeness made Su Leyun even more heartbroken, and he clenched his fists tightly at his sides.
Fu Siwen asked anxiously: "Doctor Shen, what happened to my son? He was fine a few minutes ago, but he suddenly fell to the ground just now. When we helped him to the bed, he was unconscious!"
Doctor Shen's expression became more and more solemn. He put away his stethoscope, stood up, and said quickly: "The young master's symptoms should be poisoning, but I don't know what the specific poison is. However, the toxicity is very strong. He needs to be sent to the hospital for gastric lavage immediately!"
"Poisoned? How could she be poisoned?" Fu Siwen's face turned pale and she put her hand on her forehead. She almost fainted. Fortunately, Father Chu supported her from behind to prevent her from getting bumped.
