You must come to my eighteenth birthday
We had originally planned to return to Xinghai City on Sunday night, but because Wen Yu had a low-grade fever again, we were one day late.
In Wen Yu's room, Ji Wenyin gave him some antipyretic medicine and took his temperature, and the fever was considered to have subsided.
Wen Yu said: "Aunt, go back to sleep, I'm fine now."
Ji Wenyin looked at the time and saw it was almost eleven o'clock, so she said, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable at night, just call me or give me a call."
Wen Yu nodded, and Ji Wenyin went back to her room. Her room was next to Wen Yu's room.
As soon as Ji Wenyin left, Chen Xing knocked on the door.
Wen Yu opened the door and saw Chen Xing in pajamas and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Chen Xing smiled and said, "I can't sleep, so I want to talk to you."
Wen Yu rubbed Chen Xing's head and let her in since he couldn't do anything about her.
When Chen Xing saw the cup of water and medicine placed beside Wen Yu's bed, she turned around and reached out to touch Wen Yu's forehead.
Wen Yu was not on guard against Chen Xing at all. He just stood there and lowered his body a little.
Wen Yu said in a hoarse voice, "Is it still hot?"
Chen Xing met Wen Yu's gaze and suddenly realized that the distance between them was very close. He was stunned for a moment and then let go of his hand.
Chen Xing asked, "Is the fever gone?"
Wen Yu nodded and said, "Well, I'm fine. I've taken medicine, but my throat is still a little uncomfortable."
Chen Xing felt that Wen Yu's voice was not normal, with a heavy nasal tone and a little hoarse.
Chen Xing said, "Didn't you say you were in good health? Just give me your coat. You got so sick after getting caught in the rain. Don't be so stubborn in the future. I can take care of you."
Chen Xing pushed Wen Yu to the bed, asked him to sit with his back against the headboard, and covered him with a quilt again.
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I know you're stronger than me, but I'm a boy after all. You should at least give me some chance to be gentle with me, right?"
Chen Xing didn't blame Wen Yu, but he felt bad about it.
Chen Xing said, "You're such a smooth talker. You always have your reasons. I can't argue with you."
Chen Xing moved a small stool and sat beside the bed to talk to Wen Yu. In fact, she wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Wen Yu asked, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Xing asked, "How do you know I have something to tell you?"
Wen Yu smiled gently and said, "Because your emotions are written on your face."
Chen Xing was a little angry. Why could Wen Yu always see through her thoughts? Why couldn't she understand many of Wen Yu's recent behaviors?
Chen Xing said: "Wen Yu, I want to invite you to celebrate my birthday this year. Will you come?"
Wen Yu's originally smiling face gradually became stiff after hearing Chen Xing's words.
Wen Yu asked, "Eighteenth birthday?"
Chen Xing looked at Wen Yu expectantly and nodded, "Well, after my birthday I'll be an adult and can do many things adults can do, so I hope you can come. You must come."
Chen Xing was not doing it on a whim. Ever since she celebrated Wen Yu's 18th birthday, she had been thinking about her own 18th birthday. No one else could come, but Wen Yu had to come because she had something very important to say to him on that day.
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to the other side. He asked, "When?"
Chen Xing smiled and said, "June 28th is right after the college entrance examination. You will definitely have time."
When Wen Yu heard Chen Xing's words, he didn't know what to say. He didn't want to disappoint her, and he himself didn't want to miss her 18th birthday, but could his body hold on until then?
Wen Yu looked up and blinked, then turned back to meet Chen Xing's expectant gaze, trying to smile and saying, "Okay, I'll go, and I'll also prepare for you... the best... the best gift I can give you."
When Chen Xing heard Wen Yu's answer, she smiled like a child who had eaten candy, her eyes curved into a bright moon, bright and beautiful.
Wen Yu looked at Chen Xing's happy face, and all the pain in his heart was buried. He was infected by her smile and laughed along with her.
That night, Chen Xing talked to him a lot, and he looked at the rich expressions on her face tirelessly. He didn't want to forget every moment he was with her. He just wanted to deeply engrave it in his mind. Even if his life was exhausted, he would still love her, love her until the last moment, the very last...
There are still ninety-seven days left. He has to work harder and try to appear in good health on Chen Xing's eighteenth birthday.

After Chen Xing and Wen Yu returned to Xinghai City, the next thing they faced was the college entrance examination.
Chen Xing devoted herself to studying every minute and every second, and with the help of the study notes given to her by Wen Yu, her math grades had improved significantly after several mock exams.
Even her English scores were steadily improving. She no longer needed to guess at questions to get good marks. Even if she was unsure of the answer, she could still get the right answer by using the process of elimination.
Wen Yu has been actively cooperating with the treatment during this period and goes to the hospital for rehabilitation training every weekend. His condition has been effectively alleviated and the symptoms have not occurred as frequently, which gives him more time.
Ever since Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang had a fight at the beginning of the school year, the two haven't spoken to each other for two months, which is much longer than any other cold war.
It was not until the midterm exam results came out two months later that Shi Nannan deeply realized that the distance between her and Shen Xuyang was growing.
Shi Nannan came to help Chen Xing check the results, but she kept hearing Shen Xuyang's name.
"Oh my god! No way! Shen Xuyang is already in the top ten in the grade. Didn't he just transfer from the liberal arts class to the science class? It's only been two months, and he already has such a high score?"
"He couldn't have cheated, could he? He used to be at the bottom of the class, how could he have gotten so good in just two months? I can't believe it. Even a poor student who made a comeback couldn't be as fast as him."
…
Many people in the crowd were amazed at Shen Xuyang's grades. After all, Wen Yu was the most famous good student in the school, and Shen Xuyang was the worst. Every time the academic performance list appeared, one of them was first and the other was last, and this had never changed.
As a result, although Shen Xuyang performed so well in the midterm exam, some people were still dissatisfied.
Shi Nannan really couldn't stand it anymore. Although her relationship with Shen Xuyang had become strained, she couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about him.
Shi Nannan said, "Hey! You guys don't study hard normally, and now you see the last one has surpassed you, and you don't have any sense of crisis, and you still say he cheated? I think you are just jealous!"
"Shi Nannan, how can you talk like that? We're just talking about our own things, and we didn't say a single bad word about you. What's it got to do with you?"
Those who spoke ill of Shen Xuyang also knew Shi Nannan. After all, Shi Nannan was always with Shen Xuyang wherever he went. But since he changed classes recently, they were rarely seen together.
When Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei saw that something was happening, they quickly came over to say a few words. They simply couldn't stand Shi Nannan's domineering attitude.
Zhou Xiang said, "Shi Nannan, I think you should just stop caring about what happens to Shen Xuyang. Once he leaves, you'll be at the bottom of the class. With your grades, aren't you afraid of losing face?"
Xia Meimei said, "Yes, now I know how you got the progress award. You deliberately scored last on the midterm exam, and then performed normally at the end of the semester. You can easily improve by 50 points. Isn't this award just for people like you who can't do anything and can only use tricks to take advantage of loopholes?"
Shi Nannan was furious when she heard this. Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei had nothing good to say about her when they saw her win a prize at the beginning of the school year. They always found the chance to say something bad, and she was giving them face by ignoring them.
Shi Nannan said, "Zhou Xiang! Xia Meimei! Can you say another sentence?"
Zhou Xiang said: "Why? Am I still afraid of you? I've said it a thousand times, ten thousand times, you just rely on trickery to get Shen Xuyang to back you up and support you. Without him, you are nothing!"
Shi Nannan was so angry that she even vented her anger. If she couldn't win the argument, she would just fight back. No one had ever dared to provoke her like this. There was no way she, Shi Nannan, would tolerate being bullied.
Shi Nannan went up and slapped Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei in the face, but that was not enough, she also tore their mouths.
Shi Nannan pinched the flesh on Zhou Xiang's face tightly and said, "You shouldn't have such a mouth. It's smelly, big and ugly. Don't you love beauty? Then I'll fix it for you."
When Xia Meimei saw her friend being bullied by Shi Nannan, she went up and hugged Shi Nannan.
Xia Meimei shouted, "Shi Nannan! Let me go, or I'll strangle you to death."
While Xia Meimei was holding Shi Nannan in her arms, she used one hand to pinch the flesh on Shi Nannan's belly.
Shi Nannan felt the pain and screamed loudly, but she would not let go even more.
"Go ahead and pinch me. At worst, both of you will die. Don't even think about getting away with it!"
Shi Nannan reached out to Xia Meimei and grabbed her arm. In an instant, the three of them fell to the ground in a ball, rolling a few times, but still did not let go.
Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei grabbed Shi Nannan's arms on each side, and Shi Nannan kicked them with both feet. Neither of them let go, competing with each other. No one cried out in pain, as if they had cried out in pain, they would have admitted defeat.
The people watching around saw the three girls fighting, but no one went up to stop them. They all gathered together and made a fuss. The scene was extremely noisy.
If it wasn't during recess and the teachers were all in a meeting in the principal's office, the noise would have reached the office long ago and the three of them would not have been able to start a fight.
There was no teacher there, so all the students came from upstairs and downstairs to watch the fun.
When Chen Xing came out of the bathroom, he heard the students outside making a commotion.
When Chen Xing heard Shi Nannan's name, he shouted, "Oh no, Nannan..."
Chen Xing pushed through the crowd in the corridor and rushed downstairs to find Shi Nannan, but there were too many people on the stairs. She was accidentally pushed and almost fell down the stairs because she didn't hold on firmly.
"Chen Xing! Be careful!" Fortunately, Wen Yu saw Chen Xing and pulled her in time, preventing her from stepping on air and falling.
Chen Xing saw Wen Yu and said urgently, "Wen Yu, hurry! Nan Nan is fighting with someone!"
Chen Xing was very worried. She was afraid that Shi Nannan would be bullied.
When Wen Yu heard this, he took Chen Xing's hand and quickly went down the stairs. He asked Chen Xing to go and see the situation first.
"Chen Xing, I'm going to find Shen Xuyang. Go stop Shi Nannan. Don't be impulsive!"
Chen Xing nodded and separated from Wen Yu on the first floor. She went to the school's bulletin board where transcripts were posted to find Shi Nannan.
When Chen Xing arrived, there were many people gathered at the scene, all of them were there to watch the show.
Chen Xing yelled, "Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Those people didn't know Chen Xing, but they were frightened by her terrifying aura and made way for Chen Xing.
