Awkward social death
Hao Nan was debating whether or not to go to class. He glanced at Qi Xu and made up his mind not to go. Anyway, it wasn't like he had to take care of her. With the head of the teaching department backing her up, what was there to be afraid of?
I spent some time in the infirmary out of boredom, then went out to the supermarket to buy some snacks before returning to the infirmary.
He had just opened a snack box to eat when a child walked up to him, looking at him with a blank expression and saying, "Brother."
The child's soft, adorable voice instantly won his heart, and his smile grew even brighter as he gave him a piece of candy.
The little boy took it and said, "Thank you, brother."
He rubbed his head: "You're welcome."
The little boy took his hand and said, "Brother, watch TV with me."
Before Hao Nan could refuse, the little boy pulled him inside to watch the cartoon "Peppa Pig," and immediately sat on Hao Nan's lap.
As soon as get out of class ended, Wan Xiaoyi went to the infirmary and saw Qi Xu resting against the wall.
He went over and helped Qi Xu onto the bed, covering her stomach, and muttered, "What exactly has Hao Nan been taking care of? Where has he been gallivanting off to again?"
Hao Nan heard someone calling him, went out and saw Wan Xiaoyi, saying, "Don't worry, I'm taking good care of Qi Xu."
Wan Xiaoyi didn't believe him at all. She walked over and questioned him, "Is taking care of a patient just letting her rest against the wall?"
Hao Nan said with difficulty, "What can I do? What if I accidentally wake her up? She'll be grumpy in the morning, and that would be terrible!"
"I think you're just looking for an excuse to skip class," Wan Xiaoyi said angrily.
"You've misunderstood me, class monitor. I was going back to the classroom when she came out too. She couldn't even stand properly, and the head teacher found her and told me to take care of her," Hao Nan explained.
The little boy came out, ran to Hao Nan's side, hugged his leg and said, "Brother, Mom wants you to eat watermelon."
His mother cut out a few pieces of watermelon, handed one to each child, and took the children aside, saying, "You go back to class first, I'll look after her."
As the group ate chilled watermelon, a little girl accidentally slipped and fell on Qi Xu, with the watermelon hitting her face.
Wan Xiaoyi quickly helped the child up.
Hao Nan quickly removed the watermelon from her face. By this time, Qi Xu had already been woken up.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Hao Nan holding a watermelon. She had clearly felt something hit her earlier. She glanced at the watermelon and then at Hao Nan.
He quickly said, "I didn't do it."
Wan Xiaoyi ran to her side, picked up a tissue and wiped her face, saying, "Why are you so sleepy?"
The little boy's mother quickly found some paper for her and handed it to her, saying, "Little girl, I'm sorry, go wash yourself under the tap."
She took the tissue, washed her face, dried it with the tissue, and came out.
The child walked up to her, handed the candy Hao Nan had given him to Qi Xu, and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, this grape-flavored lollipop is for you."
Qi Xu squatted down and said gently, "No need, keep the candy for yourself, I don't blame you."
Wan Xiaoyi also squatted down to look at the child, touched his cheek, and said excitedly, "So cute, can I hug you?"
The little boy ran to Wan Xiaoyi's side, and she hugged him for a while before putting him down.
Everyone is getting ready to go back to the classroom for class.
Hao Nan took out a thermometer and handed it to Qi Xu: "You should still take your temperature. Are you really okay or are you just pretending?"
Wan Xiaoyi knew what he was thinking and said, "You're not planning to use us seven as shields again, so you can have an excuse to skip class?"
"Can't you just treat me like a good person?" Hao Nan said, dissatisfied.
Qi Xu said, "I know my own body. It's much better than before. There's no need to measure it again."
He put the thermometer back and followed them to the classroom.
As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw Xu Sheng standing outside with a girl. The girl was chatting with him with a happy smile on her face.
Wan Xiaoyi pretended not to see him and thought to herself, "So it was true. He treats me like a dumping ground, stuffing all sorts of filth into me."
Hao Nan kept staring at the girl, feeling she looked familiar. His strange behavior was noticed by Qi Xu, who pulled him aside and said, "You know it's very impolite to keep staring at someone like that."
"Huh? I feel like that short-haired girl looks familiar." He suddenly remembered and called out, "Li Mengyao?"
The short-haired girl turned her head and said, "It's you?"
"Yeah, so, how about it? Do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to treat you to lunch."
All three were equally shocked.
Qi Xu and Wan Xiaoyi locked eyes. She slowly leaned closer to Qi Xu and whispered, "Do you know her?"
Qi Xu shook his head, looking at the two of them who seemed very familiar with each other, and asked her in return, "You don't know them either? I thought you would."
"Should I know you? I thought you did."
“We don’t know each other, so it has nothing to do with us.”
They had the same idea and were about to leave when they heard his voice and stopped.
Wan Xiaoyi looked at Qi Xu and said, "Actually, we can just watch the excitement."
Their ideas collided once again, they smiled at each other, and leaned against the wall to watch the spectacle.
Xu Sheng watched the two chatting happily, his face darkened, and he called out in a low voice, "Li Mengyao."
Turning to look at Xu Sheng, seeing his imposing face, Li Mengyao's lips twitched slightly, and she quickly explained, "He..."
Before she could explain, Xu Sheng said, "My friend."
The group couldn't tell who Xu Sheng was talking about.
Li Mengyao asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Hao Nan, Qi Xu... Wan Xiao Yi, they are all my friends," he explained to her one by one.
Wan Xiaoyi quietly watched Xu Sheng, but his gaze remained fixed on Li Mengyao. She sighed softly, comforting herself that among the millions of men in the world, there must be one suitable for her.
"Then why don't you introduce me to someone? What's your relationship with Li Mengyao?" Hao Nan raised an eyebrow at him.
Qi Xu retorted, "Then why don't you introduce me to someone? How did you meet Li Mengyao?" Qi Xu thought this person had no emotional intelligence at all. Anyone with eyes could see that Li Mengyao was Xu Sheng's girlfriend. He invited her to dinner in front of her boyfriend. That was too much.
“She did me a huge favor, so I wanted to treat her to a meal to repay her.” He thought for a moment and then added, “There’s also classmate Jiang Hui.”
As if on cue, Jiang Hui happened to be passing by. He turned around and looked at them, immediately spotting Hao Nan: "What a coincidence, Hao Nan."
The two hit it off immediately, putting their arms around each other's shoulders like best buddies.
Qi Xu shook his head at Wan Xiaoyi and whispered, "He's really popular and has a wide circle of acquaintances."
She agreed with her and nodded, and the two returned to the classroom.
After the two finished talking, there was no one else around. Hao Nan looked around and wondered where Qi Xu was.
As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Qi Xu finished packing his things and was about to leave when Hao Nan stopped him and said, "Want to come together? I'll treat you to dinner."
"I'm not hungry." Qi Xu tried to leave, but was stopped by his leg.
He tried to persuade her to stay, but Qi Xu didn't give him a chance at all. She jumped off the table in front of her, picked up her schoolbag, and walked outside.
She was acting like a girl at all, so he quickly ran over and blocked her way, saying firmly, "You have to go whether you want to or not."
"On what grounds?"
"Of course...yes, because I gave you special treatment for one class today, so please give me some face."
"Face? Let's go then."
He excitedly picked up her schoolbag, slung it over his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, everyone's getting impatient."
"I can carry my own schoolbag."
“You are the patient, a real man, how can you let the patient suffer?” he said proudly.
Qi Xu couldn't do anything about him, and she was also quite upset. She didn't have the energy to argue with him, so she just let him act up.
Hao Nan chattered incessantly the whole way, which Qi Xu couldn't stand. She picked up her phone, put on her headphones, and started listening to music, blocking him out.
A message popped up, and I just finished replying.
Hao Nan pulled her aside; his strength was so great that she crashed directly into his arms.
Hao Nan was stunned, and her earlobes and cheeks quickly turned crimson.
Qi Xu pulled away from his embrace, saw the railing ahead, understood what he had done, and said, "Thanks."
"No, no need." After what had just happened, Hao Nan immediately shut his mouth.
We arrived at a popular grilled fish restaurant, which was already packed with people.
The others had already found their spots and were chatting when they saw Qi Xu and Hao Nan waving at them.
As soon as Hao Nan sat down, Jiang Hui noticed his unusual appearance and asked directly, "Why is your face so red?"
Qi Xu was wearing headphones and scrolling through her phone when she took them off and heard what he had just said. She looked up at him.
Their eyes met, and she noticed that his cheeks were very red. She asked, "Do you have a fever too?" She quickly opened her schoolbag, and a box of fever reducers suddenly appeared inside. Without thinking much about it, she assumed that the medicine must have been bought at school.
I handed him the box of fever reducers: "You have a fever, take some medicine."
Hao Nan took it, not knowing whether he had a fever or the barbecue restaurant was too hot.
Everyone looked at the menu, while Qi Xu frowned as he stared at his phone, typing away.
"Seven Xu? What flavor of grilled fish do you like? Are there any dietary restrictions?"
Qi Xu then put his phone away and started discussing with everyone what grilled fish to eat.
Wan Xiaoyi said, "I want to eat grilled fish with soy sauce."
"Everyone, just tell us what you want to eat, and we'll have more choices," Hao Nan suggested, keeping a close eye on Qi Xu's behavior.
Qi Xu glanced at it and said, "Then I'll also choose the braised fish with soy sauce."
Hao Nan then also chose the soy sauce-flavored grilled fish.
Xu Sheng looked at Li Mengyao and said, "Whatever you eat, I'll eat too."
Looking at this scene, Wan Xiaoyi felt nauseous and wanted to vomit for some reason. How come she never noticed that this person was so greasy before?
I quickly ran to the toilet to relieve myself.
Li Mengyao said, "I want to eat grilled fish with chopped chili peppers." His choice was the same as hers.
Jiang Hui also wanted to eat grilled fish with chopped chili peppers, so he ordered two servings of grilled fish.
The two grilled fish dishes were served in very generous portions.
Hao Nan said, "Eat slowly, no rush."
Wan Xiaoyi excitedly started eating the grilled fish. Xu Sheng turned his gaze to her, a forced smile playing on his lips, before his eyes dimmed again.
During an outdoor workout, Li Mengyao took a liking to Xu Sheng, who was painting landscapes on the lawn.
