Chapter 117: No matter how much medicine you take, you still can’t get better. Liu Shu will soon return...
Liu Shu returned home quickly. She packed up her things for school the next day and went to sleep. She had no intention of watching Red Hood vs. Batman at all.
"Huh?" The first thing she did when she woke up in the morning was to check her phone. Liu Shu looked at the little red dot on the phone and it seemed that she had missed a lot of messages.
She opened the chat with Tim and found that he had uploaded a bunch of videos and pictures, but when she opened them, they were all black screens and she couldn't see anything.
[Are you going to school today?] After Liu Shu sent the message, she started to get up and wash up. She could directly ask him what happened to those videos, or even watch them on his device. She was not in a hurry.
She only checked the message again when she returned to her room to pick up her schoolbag.
[Of course, I have an exam this afternoon anyway, so I won't ask for leave this morning.]
[Didn’t you get beaten by Red Hood yesterday?]
[No, but I got a minor injury and need to rest for a few days.]
What unfortunate news! Liu Shu put down her phone. She knew what an injury meant to an ordinary human vigilante. She needed to rest. For aliens or mutants with stronger healing abilities, the wound might heal in a short sleep, but for Batman and the others, it would take a month to fully recover.
She went out late today. Liu Shu waited at the school gate for a few minutes and then saw Tim.
"Good morning!" After seeing people, he trotted a few steps and quickly reached the school gate.
"How long did you sleep yesterday?" How come he looks so energetic but physically tired? He still has dark circles under his eyes. Liu Shu looked at him with some confusion.
"Not asleep." Tim blinked.
"... Let's go to the classroom quickly." This person seemed to need sleep very much, so Liu Shu turned and left.
As expected, Tim quickly plopped down at a table with seats, then casually waved to Liu Shu, "Good night."
Liu Shu nodded. She would definitely call him after class, but he fell asleep before the teacher even started teaching. He seemed to be really not interested in class.
"Our exam was originally scheduled for next week, but due to a communication issue between the school and the construction company, we're moving it up. I'm sure you've all looked at the review materials and the afternoon exam time. This class, we'll..."
Teachers all over the world know their students very well, just like the one at the podium now. Although she said that everyone had reviewed, she was still explaining the material from the beginning.
The bell rang and the first class ended.
"Is get out of class over?" Tim raised his head and looked at Liu Shu, but soon lay down again.
The desk was the easiest place to sleep, so Liu Shu didn't disturb him because they still had to attend one more class before changing classrooms.
Liu Shu finally spoke as they were walking, "The teacher said there were communication issues between the school and the construction company. Are they going to demolish the school?"
"No, it's construction." Tim obviously knew about this. He walked quickly to another teaching building, but quickly stopped to wait for someone. "Remember the abandoned teaching building we went to last time?"
"Well, what happened there?" He seemed to be really sleepy. Liu Shu looked at the two schoolbags on his shoulders. According to him, he would be ashamed to face his etiquette teacher if he didn't let him help carry them.
"Didn't someone play a recording there to scare people? It was done by that teacher because the teaching building couldn't be demolished for the time being, and for the safety of the students. But he didn't expect that young people nowadays are so keen on this kind of thing." Tim said with a smile. He is always so gentle as long as there is no malicious incident.
"You are a young man too." Liu Shu felt that he was still asleep.
"Yeah, that's why we went to see it." He continued to nod.
“What will the school be built on?”
"It's also a teaching building, right? I've had people demolish that building and rebuild it, once and for all."
In other words, the early exam was due to this. I thought there was an explosion somewhere. Liu Shu was not very familiar with the arrangements of this school, but she knew that schools here would not allow students to study in a campus under construction.
It was just around the corner for the long holiday, so I just took the exam early and went on holiday early.
They soon arrived at the next classroom.
When taking his schoolbag, Liu Shu found a bandage wrapped under his sleeve.
"Your injury is on your hand?" She gently pulled open the sleeve of Tim's right hand.
"It's not serious, just a little troublesome." He didn't move. Liu Shu just touched his wrist and pulled his sleeve down again. There was no threat, so of course there was no need to be on guard.
"Can't write?"
"Yeah," Tim nodded. He seemed to feel tired from sitting. He raised his left hand to support his head. "People have two hands. I can use the other hand to write."
"That's amazing," Liu Shu took out a pen from her bag, "Then try writing." She hadn't seen many people who could write with both hands.
"It only takes a little practice to do it. It's not that impressive." Tim took the pen and wrote a red hood.
"..." Liu Shu didn't expect him to write such words casually. She looked at him in surprise, "You really weren't beaten by him?"
"No," Tim wrote, then lay down again. "He didn't hit me."
"So you didn't sleep last night?"
"The wound will hurt. I can't sleep well anyway, so I might as well deal with other things." The table was too cold, so Tim took a book from his bag to cushion it. After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Shu again, as if to confirm whether she was listening.
"Oh, I see." Liu Shu didn't look at him. She didn't know how to express her concern, so she had to take out the medicine that she had no use for when she was a puppet.
"What?" Tim sat up puzzled. He could smell the herbs now. He took them out without any warning. They looked a bit like their multi-purpose belts.
"Plaster, for external use." Liu Shu only thought that if his wound was healed, she would not have any strange emotions. She put another row of medicines on the table, such as Dahuandan, Xiaohuandan, Jiedu Pills, and the cold medicine Shanzhao Pills.
"These are edible." She finished arranging them and then looked at Tim.
"Do I need to take so many medicines?" Tim's smile now seemed to have lost its doubts and turned into concern for himself. "I think I just suffered some minor injuries, right?"
Liu Shu pushed the topical medicine toward him again and said, "Use this."
"Use it at noon." Tim put the things away. Although there was no instruction manual and no old Chinese doctor, he was still willing to trust her.
Liu Shu nodded and casually stuffed a small pill into his mouth.
"???" Tim didn't have time to free his hands to stop him, "You can't just take medicine casually, right?"
"This isn't medicine, it's just a small sugar pill." Liu Shu tilted his head and reached out to feed him another one.
Such a small dose is really not that effective compared to a whole pack of pills. Tim carefully tasted it as if he was analyzing the drug's ingredients.
"Mint? There are more plants, but they don't seem the same as the mint I know." He frowned and picked up another one to smell.
"Even if you eat this, it won't cure your injury." Liu Shu silently took back the medicine. She was at a loss just now, and now she felt like a wandering doctor setting up a stall.
"Thank you." Tim watched her clean up the table. He was not short of medical supplies, but he was happy to be cared about.
The bell rang and Liu Shu had already put her books on the table. She didn't listen to the class carefully, but paid more attention to the person who fell asleep next to her.
He always makes no noise when he sleeps, and Liu Shu really wants to confirm whether he is still breathing.
She took one last look at the teacher at the podium, then followed Tim's example and lay down on the table.
This is quite comfortable, and the teacher's voice is also very hypnotic.
"Get up quickly, get out of class is over." Tim didn't take action, but just walked over and called out to them.
“…” Liu Shu felt like she had slept for a lifetime. She raised her hand to block the light from the window for a while.
"I slept for two classes. You seem to be quite busy too." Tim said with some sigh.
"Not as busy as you, I just go out more..." Liu Shu put the books on the table back into his schoolbag, "No, it seems that I don't go out as much as you."
"It's going to be even busier later," he shook his head, "It's about that Paddy you asked about before."
"Something happened?" Liu Shu's intuition told her that this would not be good news.
"Not yet, but we're sure something will happen."
"Aren't you going to arrest him?"
"Of course not. He hasn't done anything yet. Um—we haven't found out whether he did it or not," Tim sighed. "Luthor can cover up a lot for him, and he's quite wary of Superman, so it's hard for Superman to investigate him."
It's a turbulent time, but it seems like winter now. Liu Shu stood up. She was going to eat. No matter how worried she was about this and that, she couldn't forget to eat.
"I'm hungry."
"Huh?" Tim also stood up. He was still immersed in the previous topic. How come the time changed to lunch so quickly?
"Anyway, you're here. Let's talk if there's any problem," Liu Shu reached out and grabbed his right hand, "Apply the medicine quickly."
Tim could feel that her force was very light. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Then let's go out."
Liu Shu let him go and walked ahead. She then realized that there were still a few classmates in the classroom who had not left. It didn’t matter. As long as she ran fast, the rumors would not be able to catch up with her.
“…”
Liu Shu quickly ran to a place where there was no one. She turned around and found that the person behind her was not lost.
Tim saw her stop by the bench and put down what she had been holding. "Actually, the dressing should be changed once a day, but since you asked..." He took out two rolls of bandages from the bag.
"You also brought this?" It's normal to wear some bandages when you are injured. Liu Shu picked up a roll and looked at it carefully. The packaging bags were not even opened.
"Yeah." He took off half of his coat and pulled up his right sleeve.
Liu Shu could see blood on the bandage he was slowly tearing off. The wound was still fresh and deep. A sutured wound would make anyone who saw it feel pain.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Tim rarely said such words to cover up his injuries unless he wanted to join the night patrol early.
Liu Shu still frowned. She didn't believe it, but now she knew why Tim couldn't sleep. The injury was obviously so deep that the bone could be seen.
