The alarm clock rang in the early morning, and Lin Yue pulled the covers over her head to continue sleeping. But the next second, she suddenly woke up with a start, "Honey, I have an exam today!!!"
Song Yunzheng's voice came from the kitchen, "Get up while you're taking the exam, breakfast is ready for you."
"It's all your fault!" Lin Yue staggered into the bathroom and was shocked when she saw herself in the mirror. New marks had appeared on the previously faded hickeys, and her once youthful and beautiful face was now visibly haggard.
She's not even seventy yet, and she already has backaches, leg cramps, and other aches and pains. This might be premature aging! How she longs to go to school full of energy!
She quickly washed up, changed her clothes, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and prepared to leave.
Song Yunzheng carried breakfast in one hand and held her hand in the other, his voice calm: "Don't rush, I'll take you. I won't let you be late."
Lin Yue stood blankly at the door, her mind seemingly formatted, and muttered, "Honey, I painstakingly memorized all the key points for the exam yesterday in class, and now I've forgotten them all... If I fail, you'll be fully responsible!"
Song Yunzheng gently rubbed her head, his smile warm. "Okay, it's all my fault. I'll eat and think about it in the car later."
What was the test today?
Song Yunzheng's eye twitched involuntarily. "I'm asking you. It's your exam."
Lin Yue was on the verge of tears, frantically rummaging through her bag for the exam schedule. "Oh, it's English!"
"Let's hurry up, or we'll be late."
In the school, the examination room was completely silent. Sunlight streamed through the windows and fell on the desks and chairs, bathing the entire classroom in a sacred and solemn glow. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, with only the tense pounding of hearts echoing in the air.
Everyone was completely absorbed in the intense struggle with the questions.
As soon as the bell rang, the students in the examination room seemed to be injected with a powerful force, and instantly straightened their backs.
Students poured out of the classrooms in droves, and the once quiet corridor instantly became bustling with activity.
Lin Yue, clinging to Jiang Li, looked dejected, like a wilted eggplant. "It's over. I have a bad feeling. I didn't perform well."
Jiang Li immediately reassured her, "Don't worry, I haven't even finished several questions yet. I'll be there to support you, so what are you afraid of? Besides, with your abilities, how could you possibly fail?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just forget about it after the exam. By the way, Jiang Li, are you really planning to intern at Mo's during the summer vacation?"
Jiang Li nodded firmly, "Of course, you know that my goal isn't an internship, but Mo Yanhuan."
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Let's go eat, I'm starving."
"A new mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant has opened in the Yanyuan canteen. Let's go try it out."
"Oh! Really? I haven't had mala tang in ages."
Although Song Yunzheng often bought ingredients to cook for her at home, and the food tasted better than what she could eat outside, she always felt that something was missing. Could it be because he didn't use gutter oil?
In the cafeteria, Lin Yue and Jiang Li each carried a bowl of spicy hot pot and found a clean spot to sit down.
"Wow, it smells amazing!" Lin Yue couldn't wait to start eating.
Jiang Li glanced at the vending machine behind her and said with a smile, "How can you eat spicy hot pot without soda? Wait here."
Lin Yue was busy eating and didn't have time to look up, so she just gave an OK sign.
Jiang Li had only taken a couple of steps after turning around when a gasp suddenly came from the crowd behind her. She turned around abruptly and saw Lin Yue fall to the ground like a butterfly with broken wings...
"Yuezai!" Jiang Li screamed and ran over.
Lin Yue was completely unaware of what was happening. Suddenly, a dense, spiderweb-like grid appeared before her eyes, which was then gradually swallowed by endless darkness. The sounds around her also seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist, becoming increasingly indistinct...
She felt her heart pounding, her head spinning, and her hands and feet feeling as cold as if they were being attacked by frost.
At XH Hospital, outside the emergency room, Jiang Li paced back and forth, her face filled with worry.
The doctor came out, and Jiang Li immediately rushed forward, "Doctor, how is my friend? Is she alright?"
"What about the patient's family? There are some things that need to be explained to the family."
Jiang Li thought for a moment, "By the way, her husband is Dr. Song from your hospital. Could you help me contact him? I don't have his contact information."
The doctor was clearly surprised, with an inscrutable look in his eyes, but he nodded and turned to make a phone call.
A short while later, Song Yunzheng rushed over, asking, "What happened?"
"It's nothing serious, just need a week of rest." The emergency room doctor had an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Dr. Song, your wife has a deficiency-heat syndrome. As a colleague, I still want to kindly remind you that you should be moderate in your sex life and it would be best to let her rest for a while."
"Heat deficiency syndrome?" Song Yunzheng was taken aback for a moment, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he hid it well and said calmly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"You can go straight home later, Dr. Song, don't worry too much." The emergency room doctor patted Song Yunzheng on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.
His heart pounded the moment he received the call from the emergency room, thinking something had happened to her again. On the way there, his mind went blank, and he dared not think of anything.
The result told him it was a case of deficiency-heat syndrome! He himself was the culprit who caused her to faint!
No doubt, this embarrassing incident will spread throughout the entire hospital tomorrow. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Song Yunzheng turned to Jiang Li and said, "Thank you for bringing Yueyue to the hospital. I'll take care of things here. You can go back now."
