Chapter 44 Brother, we've fallen
It was a sunny day, and warm light shone through the glass windows in the ward, sprinkling on the bed.
Xu Yucheng lowered her eyes to look at the person sleeping on the bed, tracing his handsome eyebrows with her fingers.
She whispered softly, "Zhou Zhou, I have to go to school tomorrow and continue my studies. I can't stay with you in the hospital. If you wake up, tell me the first time, okay?"
The person on the bed closed his eyes tightly and did not respond at all.
"Zhou Zhou, I'll come to see you after school."
She took the string of eighteen seeds from the bedside table and murmured, "People in the temple said this has a good meaning, and it means peace and success. But Zhou Zhou, why aren't you awake yet?"
In the huge VIP ward, there was only a very small, pleading voice that kept speaking.
——
The next day.
Xu Yucheng wore her school uniform, carried her schoolbag, and tied her hair into a high ponytail, and went to school as usual.
This time, she was not late. There was still some time before class, so she walked slowly on the campus.
She didn't know that at this moment she had a unique attraction, giving people a sense of coldness and alienation, a beauty that was not tainted by this world. The boys who passed by her noticed her, stopped, and discussed with the people around them.
"Which class is this from? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him in my senior year of high school."
Pushing the people around him, "Go get to know them and add their contact information."
The boy hesitated for a few seconds, then ran forward and stopped the person from leaving.
Xu Yucheng was suddenly blocked by someone. She looked up and asked in confusion, "Classmate, what can I do for you?"
Her eyes were clear and bright, without any impurities.
The boy was stunned when he looked into her eyes, and he forgot what he was going to say.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Yucheng nodded slightly, "Sorry, classmate, I have to go to class."
He moved his feet and walked away to the side.
The remaining boy standing there hadn't come to his senses yet when he was pushed forward two steps by a friend who suddenly came over.
"Let me tell you, you're like a piece of wood, wasting this good opportunity."
The boy smiled foolishly, "She has beautiful eyes and speaks so sweetly."
"Brother, you've fallen."
As soon as Xu Yucheng stepped into the classroom, she attracted the attention of the whole class. After all, she had been on leave for many days and no one knew what was wrong with her.
Zheng Yu looked at the person he hadn't seen for a long time and stood up excitedly, "Orange!"
Sitting down in her seat, she smiled at the person next to her and said, "Heavy rain."
"Orange, what's wrong with you? I called you and sent you messages, but you didn't reply."
Xu Yucheng didn't want to make her worry, so she softened her voice, "I just took a leave and went somewhere else, and I accidentally lost my phone. It's okay."
Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. You didn't even know. I was worried to death."
Jin Yuan also strode over, "Chengzi, why did you take such a long leave?"
Zheng Yu answered for her.
"Oh well."
Liu Zhengguang walked in as the school bell rang. When his eyes met Xu Yucheng's, he paused and said in a rare gentle tone, "Class is about to begin."
A voice that was familiar to the whole class rang out.
"stand up."
Old Liu nodded and said, "Before class, let me tell you two things. Lu Ran from our class has dropped out and will not be attending classes anymore. Later, Jin Yuan will sit in the first row, so your seat should not be occupied.
Also, there will be a monthly exam soon, so you should prepare well."
There was a burst of complaints from the students below. It was another exam. If you ask what you fear most during school days, it is undoubtedly the exam!
At this time, Jin Yuan, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, thought she had heard it wrong. She picked her ears and looked at the first row of seats in shock.
She's sitting there? You must be kidding. She won't be able to sleep during class.
After Liu Zhengguang finished speaking, he continued his lecture.
No one in the class cared about why Lu Ran dropped out of school, and no one thought that the Lu family, which was on the hot search a few days ago, had any connection with Lu Ran.
Lu Ran is usually popular in the class, but I haven't seen him get particularly close to anyone, and I don't know his family situation. I just think he has the same surname as the bankrupt Lu family.
After the class, Liu Zhengguang asked the class monitor to collect the homework.
The class was in an uproar again.
After the group leaders handed in their homework to Xu Yucheng's desk, she counted them and found that apart from Lu Ran, there was still one person missing.
Thinking she had counted wrong, she counted again, but there was still one book missing.
Zheng Yu saw her counting her homework and asked, "Chengzi, what are you doing?"
Xu Yucheng paused and said, "There are fifty people in the class now, and I've only counted forty-nine books. We still need one."
Zheng Yu took the homework, his face full of "I know".
"Xia Qingqing is missing."
Xu Yucheng looked towards the seat over there.
"Chengzi, stop looking. Xia Qingqing didn't come. She hasn't come this week." Zheng Yu had a look of surprise on his face. "Some people said she's pregnant, so she took a leave of absence from school."
Pregnant?
How old are they now? Xia Qingqing is pregnant?
Xu Yucheng was startled for a moment, but soon calmed down and prepared to go to the office to hand in her homework.
"Orange, aren't you surprised? You don't know. When I heard that, I was completely stunned."
A smile spread across her face, "Surprise, I'll go deliver my homework first."
After she left, Zheng Yu frowned. Was Chengzi surprised?
After a day of classes, after school.
Jin Yuan looked like she had lost her soul. She walked over from the first row, hunched over, and when she reached a table, she cried out, "I'm so angry and resentful! Is the first row really where people should be? I really can't stand it!"
Zheng Yu laughed at her, "A class is forty minutes long, and you only slept for thirty-five minutes."
"Nonono, it's different now. Sleep for one minute and stand for five minutes."
The dimples on Xu Yucheng's face sunk.
"Hey, let's go buy some milk tea first. I saw a very popular army hotpot restaurant online. Let's go eat there after we buy some. I've tried all the snacks in the snack street behind the school. I really don't know what to eat anymore." Zheng Yu described passionately.
Jin Yuan immediately became excited, "Okay, okay, I'm hungry."
Zheng Yu saw the people around her packing their schoolbags and reminded her, "Chengzi, you still have to go to evening self-study tonight, so you don't need to take your schoolbag."
Xu Yucheng zipped up her jacket, revealing the homework assigned by the teacher for today. She said, "I've asked for leave from the teacher, so I won't be attending the evening study session. You guys should go eat now. We'll go together next time, and I'll treat you."
"Oh well."
Zheng Yu waved her hand. "This evening study session is unnecessary in my opinion. We're all doing homework anyway, so why can't we do it anywhere else? Why do we have to do it at school?"
"That's right." Jin Yuan agreed.
Xu Yucheng put on her schoolbag and said, "Okay, I'll be leaving now. You guys should go eat early."
"Bye Orange."
After walking out of the school gate, she got straight into the black car waiting on the side.
In the car, Uncle Li appropriately didn't say a word. The small space was exceptionally quiet.
Xu Yucheng looked out the window, holding the basketball pendant in her hand.
When she arrived at the hospital, she took the elevator upstairs skillfully.
At the door of the ward, she pushed it open and walked towards the bed, "Mother Wen."
Wen Yuyang stood up, his eyes soft, "Chengcheng is out of school."
"Yeah." Xu Yucheng put down her schoolbag and stood aside looking at the quiet person lying on the bed.
"The doctor just came to check on me and said that my condition has improved a little."
"Mother Wen, you should go back and rest first. You must be tired after taking care of me all day."
Wen Yuyang said gently, "Then don't work too hard. If you need anything, just ring the call bell at the bedside."
"good."
Xu Yucheng took out the homework from her schoolbag and put it on the table to write.
The ward was strangely quiet. The faint afterglow was scattered through the window and fell on the exercise book, leaving only the sound of the pen rubbing against the paper.
Halfway through, she paused on a math problem, turned her gaze towards the person on the bed, and said softly, "Zhou Zhou, I don't know how to do this. Please get up and teach me."
The only answer she got was silent.
"Forget it, I'll keep it for now. You can teach me when you wake up, okay?"
Xu Yucheng didn't put down the pen until there was a knock on the door.
Xu's mother came in with a thermos in her hand, "Chengcheng."
"Mother."
Mother Xu put the lunch box on the table and said gently, "Remember to eat."
She smiled and said, "I know."
Looking at the homework on her daughter's desk, Xu's mother smoothed her hair and said, "I'm leaving now. Call me if you want to eat anything."
"good."
