Chapter 13 Chapter 13
"Here, wipe it quickly!" Ruoruo took a towel exactly the same as the one Zhang Qin gave to Lu Yi just now and handed it to Xia Peizhi.
"Luckily, Aunt Qin likes to stock up, otherwise we wouldn't have any new towels today." She looked towards the door again. "Hey, has the person who just helped me borrow the umbrella left?"
But she just sighed casually and didn't take it seriously. She was grateful, but not much. Ever since she dreamed that her world was a novel, her emotions seemed to have faded a lot.
Strictly speaking, it's not just indifference, she also often feels that accepting other people's kindness is a common thing. If it were in the past, she would definitely be uneasy.
Xia Peizhi took off his coat and wiped his sleeves to get rid of the cold before entering the ward. After talking with her for a while, Zhang Qin brought some cold medicine and they each drank a dose.
Ruoruo's cold medicine was specially prescribed by the doctor, so it was particularly bitter, completely different from the other two's. As soon as the strong bitter taste came out, Ruoruo wrinkled her nose and didn't want to drink it.
The little girl looked as quiet as a chrysanthemum, and her temperament was like that of a fairy who was not of this world. But in fact, she was very delicate and afraid of bitterness. After drinking two sips of the small bowl of medicine, tears came to her eyes. She said it was hot and bitter at times. Her pitiful appearance made it hard to be cruel to her.
Xia Peizhi's heart almost melted when he saw her. She was truly more vivid than ever now, like a usually arrogant and aloof kitten who was now acting coquettishly towards people for the first time.
He carefully took care of her every request, "You must take the medicine, everything else is fine."
As for her spoiled promise of something she wanted to eat but couldn't, he could just pay someone to make it with other ingredients she could eat. He didn't have much else, just a lot of money.
He thought she would continue to "make trouble" for a while. Frankly speaking, he was really addicted to it and worried about her health. Unexpectedly, she pursed her lips and drank the rest of the medicine in one breath.
Xia Peizhi watched her finish drinking in surprise, and hurriedly poured her a cup of warm honey water, feeling very upset.
He should have been relieved when she drank the bitter medicine bravely, but Xia Peizhi felt distressed, as if he saw Ruoruo getting the IV and injection again.
If only she had never suffered from this... this congenital heart disease.

On the other side, Lu Yi returned the umbrella he had borrowed at the outpatient department, then took a taxi back to school with a towel in one hand and the umbrella given by Zhang Qin in the other.
When he arrived at the dormitory, there were four people in the dormitory, and all of them were there except him. The originally bustling dormitory was quiet for a moment after hearing the door open, and then it resumed its noisy state.
"Third brother, you're back?"
"Did you get wet? Take a quick shower and come out to play games later."
Except for the fourth brother Hu Chuan, who looked at him without saying anything.
Lu Yi felt a headache. They had been together for so long before, and he didn't think Hu Chuan was a stubborn person. But because of what happened in the past few days, he became distant from him.
To liven up the atmosphere, he took a two-minute shower, then wrote out a draft and began to tell them what had happened that day.
Although he didn't stay in the hospital for a long time except for classes, and nothing earth-shattering happened, he told the story of that short period of time in a thrilling and eventful way.
Lu Yi didn't know when he developed such a talent for storytelling.
Men, of course, can share everything except their sweethearts. Not to mention that in Lu Yi's view, what happened today can only be regarded as plans failing to keep up with changes, but the goal has been achieved.
His roommates, who had originally disapproved of his decision, naturally agreed, since they were "brothers." Only Hu Chuan remained, silently controlling his phone interface and playing games.
I originally thought that Lu Yi and I shared the same ideals, and that I and the other two roommates also had roughly the same values. But now it seems that he was the one who made the wrong friends.
Hu Chuan originally wanted to start a business, but the idea of asking others if they wanted to join him completely disappeared. Brotherhood is true, but if it is only brotherhood... Hu Chuan can't accept it.
He clicked on the message he had originally sent to Lu Yi. It was the first time he had scolded someone and not turned hostile. Instead, he had offered earnest advice. Unfortunately, Lu Yi hadn't replied. Even though he had expressed interest in repairing their relationship in person, the message had remained there.
Hu Chuan listened quietly to the other people in the dormitory discussing what the person Xia Peizhi would like would look like, and whether Lu Yi could pursue Bai Ruoruo. Except for the topic about Bai Minmin, they talked about everything.
See, they also know how to respect others, otherwise Hu Chuan wouldn't have thought all three of them were good. But now it seems that it's just a matter of distinguishing people. The word "respect" seems ironic. Otherwise, one shouldn't make arbitrary assumptions about people one doesn't even know.
Hu Chuan finished the game and then left. He had already started planning to move out. Anyway, he had been planning to start a business recently. Without these three roommates, it was time for him to look for other suitable helpers.
As for Bai Ruoruo who might be deceived by Lu Yi, Hu Chuan did not feel any guilt. The reason why he stayed away from Lu Yi was because he felt that Lu Yi's character was not good enough, but it did not mean that he had the kindness to save the "innocent girl" from the water and fire. He was not that free to expose Lu Yi's true face.
However, Lu Yi's complacency didn't last long. That same night, he developed a high fever. The four people in his dormitory were all so careless. When Lu Yi came back from being caught in the rain, no one had even bothered to tell him to take some medicine, other than to quickly shower. He himself hadn't anticipated this.
Lu Yi said that he was young and strong and was a sports student who ran sprints, but he was still very weak due to the severe illness.
Fever, cough, runny nose, sneezing... all the symptoms disappeared, and Lu Yi also felt aches in his limbs. He had always been fine when he didn't get sick, but when he did, it was a serious illness. This time was no exception. After taking medicine for two weeks, his symptoms finally began to improve.
The eldest and second oldest students in the dormitory suggested telling Bai Minmin about Lu Yi's illness, but Lu Yi hesitated.
"No, that's not right. Minmin and I are just ordinary friends. It's just a cold. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."
Everyone in this dormitory knows who is who. It was obvious from Lu Yi's words that he was saying one thing and thinking another.
So the second brother advised him, "Even if you are just an ordinary friend, it's okay to tell her when you are sick. Besides, you have helped her so much."
This was true. No matter what Bai Minmin encountered, Lu Yi always helped her. Even when her parents passed away, Lu Yi helped a lot. Bai Ruoruo didn't show up at the funeral of Bai's father and mother. This might be one of the reasons why Lu Yi had a bad impression of Bai Ruoruo.
