Chapter 28 Illness
After the long-distance run, Chu Chenghuan did not see Xie Ting waiting for him at the finish line. Xie Ting did not have a mobile phone, so Chu Chenghuan could not even send a message to ask where Xie Ting had gone.
For the first time, Chu Chenghuan thought Xie Ting really needed a cell phone. Xie Ting and he were inseparable, and Xie Ting would always tell him where he was going. For Xie Ting, a cell phone was just for playing games. Right now, Chu Chenghuan could only ask Tong Hao, who didn't know either. "He took my water and went to look for you, and he hasn't come back yet. Maybe he went out to buy snacks. It's only been a while since we last met, are you?"
Haven’t come back yet?
She hadn't come back and hadn't cheered him up, which didn't seem to fit Xie Ting's situation at all. Chu Chenghuan's heart tightened, and he ignored Tong Hao's question. He looked around for the girl who had held the red flag, and sure enough, he found her at the corner of the playground. Chu Chenghuan quickly went to ask Xie Ting.
When the girls saw Chu Chenghuan talking to them, their eyes sparkled, but only one girl pointed in the direction ahead and said, "He went over there. It seems he went to the bathroom. I'm not sure where he went after that."
Chu Chenghuan said "thank you" and ran over.
"They have such a good relationship! Chu Chenghuan went looking for him after not seeing him for just a while."
"I really suspect they are having an affair."
After Chu Chenghuan left, the girls discussed the situation for a while. Not far away, a girl wearing a black baseball cap left the school stealthily, looking pale.

Xie Ting had no idea how long he'd been trapped in the bathroom. His voice had become hoarse, and his body was curled up, shivering from the cold, but no one came to rescue him. He'd died at 18 in his previous life, so he couldn't possibly be 17 in this one! He'd never lived past 20 in either life.
He hasn't even married yet. If he had known that such a disaster would happen at the age of 17, he shouldn't have wasted his time focusing on Chu Chenghuan's sexual orientation, eating, drinking, and playing more, and he shouldn't have gone to school.
He doesn't want to die.
In a trance, Xie Ting seemed to hear Chu Chenghuan's voice.
"Xie Ting? Xie Ting?" The voice came from far away.
Xie Ting's eyes lit up, and he banged on the toilet door desperately, "I'm here! I'm here!"
But the voice was weak, and his hands were even weaker, making no sound at all. Xie Ting pressed his ear to the door, listening to the sound getting farther and farther away, and felt even more desperate. Xie Ting gritted his teeth and banged his head against the door.
This time, there was finally movement.
Soon, Xie Ting heard hurried footsteps approaching. The next second, the door opened, and Xie Ting, who was about to fall to the ground at the door, was held in Chu Chenghuan's arms.
Xie Ting looked up, his wet hair sticking to his forehead. He was deeply moved when he saw Chu Chenghuan. "I was ambushed. Fortunately, you came."
In this life, Chu Chenghuan will not die with him, but come to save him. He is really a good brother!
Chu Chenghuan was also distressed. Xie Ting was completely soaked, not only was he locked in the toilet but he was also doused with cold water. This was the first time Chu Chenghuan had ever seen Xie Ting so embarrassed and aggrieved. His forehead was also red and swollen. The noise must have been from a headbutt. Chu Chenghuan had just walked to the toilet next door. If he hadn't heard the noise, he wouldn't have rushed over immediately.
Chu Chenghuan's voice was cold, "Do you know who it is?"
After leaving the old teaching building, they heard the chatter of people. Xie Ting was also very concerned about his reputation and hid his face in Chu Chenghuan's chest. "It's a girl. Don't tell anyone who I am."
"I'll check."
Xie Ting didn't say anything. There were simply too many people around, and he didn't want anyone to know that he had been locked in the bathroom and had cold water poured on him. He spoke cautiously, "Chu Chenghuan, go where there are fewer people. Don't run into any of your classmates."
Chu Chenghuan: "..."
Even though Xie Ting said this, the attention he needed was still being paid. Hu Yaqin, in particular, had already run over with concern. Just as she was about to ask, Chu Chenghuan gave her a warning look. Hu Yaqin didn't dare to say anything. She could only hear Xie Ting, who was held in Chu Chenghuan's arms, say weakly, "Did you go somewhere crowded? Don't let them guess it was me. If anyone asks, just say it was Tong Hao."
Hu Yaqin felt very complicated for a moment.
Xie Ting is in this state, yet he still cares so much about his image. He even goes so far as to smear Tong Hao's image. Chu Chenghuan is also so doting, actually cooperating with Xie Ting. If that's the case, she will go and spread rumors!
Chu Chenghuan called a taxi. After getting in, Chu Chenghuan took off Xie Ting's wet school uniform and put on his own. Xie Ting, exhausted, lay on Chu Chenghuan's lap, his eyelids drooping, looking completely exhausted.
Chu Chenghuan's eyebrows were annoyed. No matter how annoying Xie Ting was, he never dared to do this to Xie Ting.
When they were almost home, Xie Ting, feeling groggy, said as if he remembered something: "Chu Chenghuan, don't check who it was. It's too troublesome. I'll be more careful next time. And that person is your fangirl, a toxic fan. I'm more of a gentleman and don't bother with girls."
Chu Chenghuan didn't say whether he would check it or not, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Then you are very gentlemanly."
Xie Ting is feeling very uncomfortable now.
When trapped, he only thought about getting out and naturally ignored the discomfort in his body. But after being rescued, all kinds of discomfort followed. Xie Ting couldn't tell whether Chu Chenghuan was insulting him or not, and he closed his eyes completely after saying that.
When Xie Ting woke up again, he saw the familiar ceiling of Chu Chenghuan's bedroom. He turned his head and saw Chu Chenghuan leaning on the bed playing with his phone. Xie Ting looked at Chu Chenghuan in confusion for a while, and Chu Chenghuan glanced at him and saw that he had woken up.
Chu Chenghuan put his phone aside and said, "Are you awake? Take your medicine later."
Xie Ting opened his mouth, "Is it bitter? I won't eat bitter food."
A few words, very hoarse.
Chu Chenghuan was gentle, "You are sick and need to take medicine. Don't talk if your throat is uncomfortable."
Xie Ting still wanted to speak.
"You're a little weird."
Chu Chenghuan didn't bother with Xie Ting. He reached out and touched Xie Ting's forehead. It was still very hot. His face was also red, probably because he had just woken up. His eyes seemed to be stained with mist, like an innocent and hurt deer.
Chu Chenghuan looked away and stood up.
"I'll get the medicine."
Xie Ting's mind was a little clearer now, but he still had no strength. He must have caught a cold from the cold.
How miserable.
But you don’t have to go to school anymore!
When Chu Chenghuan came over with a bowl of medicine, Xie Ting showed a look of disgust.
Chu Chenghuan put the bowl aside and helped Xie Ting up. "You'll feel better after drinking it."
Compared to the physical discomfort, the medicine was bitter. However, this was the first time Xie Ting had been taken care of like this by Chu Chenghuan. Suddenly, he started to act evil, "You have to feed me, I don't have the strength."
Chu Chenghuan did not refute, and brought the bowl to Xie Ting's mouth. Xie Ting felt a little embarrassed, actually letting the young master feed him medicine. Xie Ting did not dare to say anything else, Xie Ting endured the bitterness and drank it in one gulp. Then he got into bed again, "I'm not feeling well, let my father take three days off for me."
Xie Ting's father is still on a business trip with Chu Chenghuan's father and cannot come back to take care of Xie Ting, but he can still take leave.
Chu Chenghuan said directly: "Please give me a week."
Xie Ting's eyes lit up.
Is there such a good thing?
"Go to sleep first. You'll feel better when you wake up after taking the medicine."
Xie Ting finally realized what was wrong. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Master, you are so gentle now."
Chu Chenghuan hummed.
Xie Ting opened his eyes and muttered, "Narcissism."
Chu Chenghuan did not refute, but only cared about Xie Ting covering himself with the quilt.
Xie Ting would open his eyes after sleeping for a minute or two. Chu Chenghuan, who had been paying attention to Xie Ting, asked, "Why are you always looking at me? Are you afraid that I will leave?"
Xie Ting didn't close his eyes anymore, and Chu Chenghuan said honestly: "If you leave, what if I die secretly?"
Chu Chenghuan hesitated to speak, and finally said comfortingly: "It's just a sickness, you won't die."
Xie Ting said in a low voice, "But my illness is very serious."
Xie Ting cherished his life very much and was very dependent on Chu Chenghuan who was still with him at this moment. Chu Chenghuan did not explain anything to the patient, but simply lifted a corner of the quilt and slept next to Xie Ting.
"Sleep with you."
Xie Ting hesitated, and with a face red from his illness, he looked at Chu Chenghuan and asked, "You're not gay, are you?"
Chu Chenghuan tilted his head and said word by word: "Ask me now if you ask me again."
Xie Ting was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask and simply closed his eyes.
Chu Chenghuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
cute.
This time, within ten minutes, Chu Chenghuan heard the sound of heavy breathing coming from the side. Chu Chenghuan lowered his eyes and saw Xie Ting sleeping beside him, hugging his arm.
Really good.
His face was red, as if there were chili peppers hanging on it.
Chu Chenghuan's heart moved, and he gently touched Xie Ting's face with his fingertips.
Very hot.
But Xie Ting looked so good in this state. For a moment, Chu Chenghuan thought that Xie Ting like this should be his, and he alone should see it.
Because when others see it, they will have improper thoughts.
He won't.
He just wanted to hide Xie Ting.
