Chapter 84: Postgraduate Study Ruined (17)

Xia Chi also saw Zhou Ziqian.
A flashy black sports car. Zhou Ziqian, wearing sunglasses, got out of the car and slammed the door with a clang.
Xia Chi's heart tightened again.
He had rarely seen Zhou Ziqian, except for a year ago when his brother told him that he and Zhou Ziqian were in love, and he secretly went to see them.
But because he was his brother's boyfriend, he remembered very clearly what Zhou Ziqian looked like.
A while ago, when his brother just broke up with him, Xia Chi dreamed every day of beating up Zhou Ziqian. Sometimes he was so angry that he couldn't sleep, so he closed his eyes and imagined himself beating up Zhou Ziqian.
Uppercut, lowercut...
He didn't come into contact with many people, so he was particularly familiar with this face.
This is the person.
It was he who deceived his brother's feelings and delayed his brother's time for a year.
Xia Chi's heart was pounding and his hands and feet began to feel numb. He felt a sense of tension as if the enemy was approaching.
He held the cup tightly in his hand, trying to twist it apart.
He wished he could rush up to Zhou Ziqian, pin him to the ground, and punch him hard twice, just like he did in his dream.
But……
Xia Chi looked down at his hands.
It was difficult for him to do so.
He could only unscrew the water cup again, drink two sips of warm water, try to calm himself down, and then pack up his things as if nothing had happened.
After he prepared a utility knife for his brother, his parents had a serious talk with him.
The biggest request from his family is that he protect himself well.
It's not worth risking your life for a scumbag.
His life was saved by his family with great effort, he cannot be so selfish.
He couldn't make his family worry about him just for his own momentary pleasure.
Xia Chi packed up his things, stood up slowly as if nothing had happened, and prepared to leave.
His brother would be here to pick him up soon and they were going to have lunch.
He couldn't waste time on such things.
But just as he turned around, the next second, a disgusting voice came from behind him.
"Hello?"
Xia Chi felt like vomiting, but he managed to hold it back, pretending not to hear, and quickened his pace.
The next second, Zhou Ziqian caught up and stood in front of him.
"Hello, are you a student living nearby? I'm a photography enthusiast. I just saw you sitting under a tree over there. It looks very artistic. Can I take a photo of you?"
Zhou Ziqian wore a black shirt today and put away his sunglasses. He tried hard to make a sincere expression. He looked like a photographer who had some money but was romantic and uninhibited, and who mustered up the courage to take pictures.
First take a photo, then find a place to eat and chat, and then invite him to be your full-time model.
Falling in love over time is not a problem.
The moment Zhou Ziqian lied, he had already thought of all the steps.
Zhou Ziqian looked at him sincerely. If Xia Chi hadn't known him for a long time, he might have been deceived by him.
Xia Chi thought, is this how he deceived his brother?
What does he mean?
After cheating on your brother, you cheat on him again?
Do these two brothers look so gullible?
Xia Chi couldn't help but dry-heaved at him.
Zhou Ziqian was startled and subconsciously took a step back, fearing that he would dirty his clothes.
Later, I found that he didn't vomit, but just dry heaved, so I hurried forward and wanted to pat him on the back.
Xia Chi quickly held onto the bench and dodged: "I'm not feeling well, please go away."
Zhou Ziqian seemed not to hear him and tried to take the cup from him: "You need some water..."
"I told you to get out of here!" Xia Chi's forehead was covered in sweat, and he yelled at him, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?! Get out of here!"
Zhou Ziqian was about to get angry, but when he saw the face that looked like Xia Shu, he was stunned for a moment.
Xia Chi covered his heart, squatted on the ground, gasping for breath, and tried to take his medicine out of his pocket.
But his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't get the medicine.
Zhou Ziqian continued: "Are you okay? I'll drive you to the hospital. In return, you can let me take a photo..."
Before Zhou Ziqian could finish his words, suddenly, a huge force came from behind him and pushed him away.
Zhou Ziqian was caught off guard and was pushed directly into the flower bed next to him.
He came to his senses and was about to explode, but he saw Xia Shu rush forward and help up the little boy who was squatting on the ground.
Xia Shu...
Is Xia Shu jealous?
Zhou Ziqian's eyes lit up, he climbed up from the flower bed, dusted himself off, and was about to speak when he saw Xia Shu carefully help the boy to a chair, then skillfully took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured out two pills into her palm, and fed them to him.
Zhou Ziqian was puzzled. What was their relationship? Did they know each other?
still……
A bad premonition came over him.
Zhu Qingchen also came over: "How is it? I called 120, I'll be there soon."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Xia Shu didn't have time to say anything more, and without caring about her image, she knelt on the ground and gently stroked her brother's chest to make him feel more comfortable.
Xia Chi panted and said intermittently: "Brother, I..."
"Stop talking and breathe slowly."
elder brother?
Zhou Ziqian shuddered and took a step back.
No way?
Isn’t it such a coincidence?
Five minutes later, Zhu Qingchen's cell phone rang again. It was an ambulance calling.
As he picked up the phone, he walked to the side of the road: "Yes, it's in the Morning Light Garden next to the Zhou Group, under a big banyan tree. I'm already on the side of the road."
The sirens of the ambulance were getting closer and closer. Zhu Qingchen stood on tiptoe and waved at them: "I see you, here, here!"
The ambulance approached immediately and stopped by the roadside, and the medical staff immediately got out of the car carrying a stretcher.
"Here, here." Zhu Qingchen brought them to the park.
Xia Chi looked better after taking the medicine, but his face was still pale and he had difficulty breathing.
Xia Shu grabbed his legs, picked him up, put him on a stretcher, and escorted him to the ambulance.
The group was in a hurry, and Zhou Ziqian wanted to catch up: "Xia Shu, I didn't know he was your brother, you didn't tell me..."
Xia Shu ignored him and turned around and looked at him expressionlessly before climbing into the ambulance.
This was an expression Zhou Ziqian had never seen before.
Resentment, hatred and disgust are like looking at an enemy.
Zhu Qingchen sat in the car and tugged at his sleeve: "Xiao Shu, let's go."
Xia Shu withdrew his gaze and climbed into the car.
The medical staff closed the heavy ambulance door, leaving Zhou Ziqian alone.
Zhou Ziqian punched the sports car hard and kicked the tire: "Fuck! Damn it!
How did he know that was Xia Shu's younger brother?
How did he know that Xia Shu's brother was still sick?
Xia Shu never told him that he had a younger brother!
If he had known this earlier, how could he have provoked Xia Shu's brother?
Now, he was caught by Xia Shu on the spot. How could he reconcile with Xia Shu?
Xia Shu will never forgive him in this life!
Zhou Ziqian kicked the sports car hard, venting all his anger on it.
He calmed down, took out his cell phone, and called Mr. Zhou's assistant: "Hello, help me check someone."
*
The ambulance was a bit cramped.
Xia Chi carried his medical records with him, and Xia Shu immediately took them out and handed them to the doctor.
The medical staff took emergency measures for Xia Chi, and Xia Chi looked much better.
Xia Shu always stayed by his brother's side, looking at him with concern and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Zhu Qingchen was sitting nearby, feeling extremely lucky that he had followed Xia Shu here.
He didn't expect that the plot this time would not take place in a shopping mall, but in a park.
Fortunately, he and Xia Shu arrived in time. If the situation was allowed to continue, Xia Chi's situation would probably be worse.
Zhu Qingchen touched Xia Shu's arm and reminded softly: "Xiao Shu, call your parents and ask them to come to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Okay..." Xia Shu seemed to come to his senses, touched his pocket and took out his cell phone.
It would have been fine if he didn't pick up the things, but as soon as he picked up the things, he realized that his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even unlock the phone screen.
Zhu Qingchen hugged his shoulders and rubbed them vigorously, trying to calm him down: "It's okay, it's not your fault, calm down."
Xia Shu's hands were shaking so badly that she barely managed to unlock her phone and then handed it to Zhu Qingchen.
Xia Shu's voice was trembling, and because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was hoarse: "Teacher Zhu...please..."
He couldn't even speak.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Qingchen comforted him while opening his cell phone and calling Xia's father and mother.
"Hello, is this Xia Shu Xia Chi's father? I'm Zhu Qingchen, yes. Xia Chi is having a seizure outside, and we're in the ambulance now, at the First Hospital, yes, Xia Shu is here too."
Father Xia hurriedly responded, "Okay, okay, thank you Teacher Zhu, we will be there right away, thank you for your help..."
He hung up the phone, immediately called Xia's mother, then drove the taxi, turned around quickly, and rushed to the hospital.
Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived downstairs of the hospital.
Medical staff carried Xia Chi down and pushed him into the hospital building.
As soon as Xia Shu jumped out of the car, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand.
Zhu Qingchen helped him up and he managed to stand firmly, then ran into the hospital.
Xia Shu kept running after his brother, looking at his pale face on the stretcher with a look of worry.
Xia Chi was sent to the emergency room, and the nurse helped call in cardiologists and specialists.
Xia Shu stood blankly outside the emergency room, looking inside carefully through the glass on the door.
Doctors and nurses were rushing in and out, almost knocking him down.
Zhu Qingchen quickly pulled him aside and told him, "Stay here, I'll go see if your parents have arrived and bring them over."
Xia Shu also knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he wiped his face casually and nodded: "Okay."
"Do you have any money left?"
"Yes." Xia Shu clenched the phone.
"If you need to pay, just pay it first. The teacher will be back soon."
"good."
Zhu Qingchen left in a hurry. As he walked out, he called Huo Jun: "Mr. Huo? As agreed last time, can you lend me some money? Yes, something happened to my brother Xia Shu. I am now..."
Through the crowd, Zhu Qingchen saw the Xia couple who were in a hurry.
Both of them were still at work and rushed over after receiving the call.
Father Xia was still wearing his taxi badge, and Mother Xia was still wearing her hotel cleaning apron. The two of them supported each other and stopped a nurse to ask questions.
Zhu Qingchen waved at them: "Here! Here!"
The Xia couple pushed through the crowd and ran forward as if they had seen a savior: "Teacher Zhu."
“Here, here!”
Zhu Qingchen brought them to the door of the emergency room. Xia Shu was leaning against the wall alone, unable to stand. There was a chair next to him, but he didn't want to sit down.
His whole body was limp, and he slid to the ground as soon as he sat on it.
As soon as the door to the emergency room opened, he looked back.
But the doctors and nurses were all very busy and no one had time to take care of him.
He could only look inside by himself.
Father and Mother Xia stepped forward immediately. Mother Xia hugged Xia Shu and held back her tears, hugging him: "Xiao Shu..."
Father Xia looked at the door and said, "I didn't bring any money. I'll go home and get the card right away."
He took one last look at the emergency room and then walked out with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
He ran so fast that one of his shoes fell off.
Now that shoe has been kicked into the corner.
"What was that? It nearly tripped me."
Father Xia walked to the corner as if nothing had happened, picked up his shoes, put them back on, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something happened to my son, and I'm a little worried..."
Perhaps it was because his smile was too humble that the others did not know what to say and instead silently made way for him.
Father Xia put on his shoes and ran out quickly.
Xia Shu looked at his back and tears started to flow down her cheeks.
"It's all my fault..." Xia Shu cried, "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Mother Xia hugged him and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's wait for a while. Xiaochi will be fine."
Zhu Qingchen was also a little dazed, until the voice from the other end of the phone called him back to his senses: "Teacher Zhu..."
Zhu Qingchen quickly picked up the phone: "Mr. Huo, I'm here..."
"First Hospital, right? I'm going there now."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Zhu Qingchen hung up the phone, still a little dazed.
Although he was well prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble with fear when facing illness and even death.
The child who was originally so lively, holding his own painting and introducing it to him with a smile, suddenly became like this, with a pale face and rapid breathing, as if he was a different person.
Zhu Qingchen found it difficult to connect the two scenes together.
Zhu Qingchen patted his face to calm himself down.
The system comforted him: "In the original book, Xia Chi went directly into the operating room to have a heart transplant. His condition should be fine now, but he is in the emergency room."
"Um."
I hope so.
Zhu Qingchen never thought that despite all his precautions, Xia Chi would actually meet Zhou Ziqian in the park.
Xia Shu didn't expect that he had clearly told Xiao Chi not to come to the company because he was afraid that he would run into Zhou Ziqian.
If I had known...
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have done this and just let Xiao Chi come to the company to find him. Maybe...
Xia Shu felt extremely regretful, but did not dare to cause trouble for his parents.
The most important thing now is Xiaochi’s health. He cannot make a noise or cry in the hospital.
That would be too unlucky. Xia Shu gritted her teeth to prevent her crying from being revealed.
Zhu Qingchen walked up to him and touched his head: "Don't cry, it's not your fault."
It wasn't his fault in the original book, and it's not his fault now.
After Zhu Qingchen reminded him, he has tried very hard to prevent his brother from meeting Zhou Ziqian. He has tried very hard to protect his brother.
This is not his fault, it is Zhou Ziqian's fault.
Zhu Qingchen also knew that he didn't want to attract his mother's attention right now, so he just said one sentence to him and didn't say anything else.
Zhu Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, took out his cell phone and checked how much money he had.
By the way, Mr. Huo just said...
Should he transfer money to him, or should he come over?
Zhu Qingchen was in a hurry just now and couldn't remember clearly.
When Zhu Qingchen was thinking about whether to ask again, suddenly, Huo Jun's voice came from behind him.
"Teacher Zhu."
Huo Jun supported his shoulders, helped him sit on the chair, and whispered, "Be careful."
Zhu Qingchen turned around and looked at him in surprise.
He really came, less than five minutes later, and his assistant didn't follow him. He must have driven here by himself.
Huo Jun had his suit jacket draped over his arm and was only wearing a shirt, and it was obvious that he had come in a hurry.
Xia Shu immediately perked up and called out, "Boss Huo."
Mother Xia was a little confused: "Who is this..."
Xia Shu said: "It's from the group..."
Huo Jun said calmly: "I am a friend of Teacher Zhu. I happened to be nearby, and Teacher Zhu asked me to come over to help."
"Okay..." Mother Xia rubbed the apron around her waist, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Huo, thank you Teacher Zhu."
"You're welcome." Huo Jun said, "Money is not a problem."
"Thank you, thank you."
Mother Xia thanked her repeatedly, and Xia Shu helped her rest for a while.
Huo Jun took out his wallet and stuffed it into Zhu Qingchen's hand.
He deliberately only said that he was Zhu Qingchen's friend and did not reveal his own identity, because he did not want to put pressure on the Xia family.
The reason why the wallet was stuffed into Zhu Qingchen's hand was because they were not related in any way. The Xia family should trust Zhu Qingchen more, so it would be more convenient to let Zhu Qingchen come forward.
Zhu Qingchen took the black wallet, turned around, and thanked Huo Jun softly.
Huo Jun nodded slightly: "You're welcome." Another five minutes passed, but it seemed like a century.
Finally, the door of the emergency room was pushed open from the inside.
The nurse came out and asked: "Is Xia Chi's family here?"
"Here!" Xia's mother immediately pulled Xia Shu forward and said, "Hello, may I ask..."
"The patient is fine now, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Xia's mother breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed. If Xia Shu hadn't held her tightly, she would have fallen to her knees.
Mother Xia clasped her hands together, tears welling up in her eyes: "Thank God."
"This time it was just a little stimulation that caused the patient to have a sudden arrhythmia. Thanks to good care, timely medical treatment, and the fact that he carried his medical records with him, nothing serious happened."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
"But to be on the safe side, it's best to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."
"That's for sure, that's for sure."
"The family members then went over to complete the hospitalization procedures, and the patient was transferred to the ward."
"Okay, okay." Mother Xia responded and tried to stand up.
Xia Shu supported her: "Mom, I'll go handle the formalities, you stay here with Xiao Chi."
"Okay." Xia's mother responded and went in to see Xia Chi, leaning against the wall.
Zhu Qingchen held Xia Shu and said, "Let's go. The teacher will go with you."
"Yeah." Xia Shu wiped his face, "Thank you, teacher."
Zhu Qingchen said to Huo Jun again: "Boss Huo, I will accompany him to register for hospitalization."
Huo Jun nodded slightly: "Well, I'll watch here."
"Thanks."
Zhu Qingchen took Xia Shu to go through the formalities.
The two had just walked out a short distance when they heard Xia's mother shouting behind them: "Xiao Shu, do you have money? Use my phone to pay, quickly."
Mother Xia was so anxious that she even forgot about the money and only remembered it just now.
Xia Shu said: "Yes, Mom, I have money, I will pay first."
"That's good, you go ahead and put it on first."
Mother Xia returned to the ward to see her little son.
Xia Shu let out a long breath and said to Zhu Qingchen, "Teacher, let's go."
"Um."
He walked unsteadily, and Zhu Qingchen looked at him from time to time, and when his legs weakened and he was about to fall, he quickly helped him up.
Zhu Qingchen asked: "How much money do you have? Is it enough for hospitalization?"
"That's enough. Thank you, teacher." Xia Shu said, "I have been working part-time all the time, and with scholarships and other things, I have tens of thousands of dollars."
"That's good."
As long as Xia Shu can afford it herself, Zhu Qingchen will not help.
The Xia family also has its own self-esteem.
Xia Shu came to the counter to handle the formalities and handed over Xia Chi's medical records and medical insurance card: "Hello, I want to apply for hospitalization."
The nurse handed him a form and asked him to fill it out.
Xia Shu picked up the pen, but his right hand was shaking violently, so he pressed down his right hand with his left hand and calmed down to fill in the form.
"We will first arrange for you to be hospitalized for three days. If your condition is stable, you can be discharged."
"Okay, thank you."
Xia Shu thanked him while filling out the form.
"It's up to you whether it's a single room or a shared room. The patient can't stand any stimulation, so it's best for him to stay in a single room. Of course, if your financial situation doesn't allow it, you can stay in a shared room. I can help you arrange a quieter room."
Xia Shu didn't hesitate and said directly: "We need a single ward, thank you for your help."
You can't save money in a place like this. If something goes wrong again, he will regret it to death.
"Well, there's still a deposit of two thousand. You'd better put more into your hospital card first, so that if you need money in the future, you can directly withdraw it from the card."
"I know."
Xia Shu took out his mobile phone and prepared to pay, but found that the mobile network was not good and he could not open the payment page.
There are always pop-ups showing that the network is not working properly.
Xia Shu frowned and pressed the phone twice, but there was still no response.
Zhu Qingchen said: "Let me do it."
Zhu Qingchen felt his pocket, took out the wallet that Huo Jun gave him, and opened it.
At this moment, Xia Shu also shouted: "Teacher, it's okay."
He immediately opened the page, handed the phone to the nurse, and asked the nurse to scan the code.
He was so nervous that he didn't even turn on his cell phone data.
A bit confused.
"It's okay, you've done very well." Zhu Qingchen put his arm around his shoulders, took the admission form and card handed over by the nurse, put them in the bag provided by the hospital, and handed it to him.
Xia Shu was carrying things and was in a hurry to go see her brother. She said something to Zhu Qingchen and ran back quickly.
Zhu Qingchen sighed, lowered his head, and put away Huo Jun's wallet.
suddenly……
Zhu Qingchen seemed to have seen something that was not quite right.
He opened Huo Jun's wallet again and pulled out a thin photo.
The hospital was crowded and noisy.
Huo Jun stood at the door of the emergency room with his hands folded. Because of his tall stature, he was very conspicuous in the crowd.
From time to time, he turned his head to look at the Xia family in the emergency room to make sure they were okay.
Zhu Qingchen held the thin photo in his hand, raised it slightly, and slowly overlapped the man in the photo with Huo Jun. !
