[Weakness] (lasts 156 minutes)
The bell for class had already rung, and Xu Qian couldn't go up and ask what was going on. He could only wait until the class was over to discuss it.
The long forty-five minutes finally passed. As soon as the bell rang, Xu Qian walked to Meng Liangchen, who was lying on the desk in the front row. He wanted to call out to him, but after thinking about it, he gave up and walked out of the classroom alone.
A few minutes later, Xu Qian returned to the classroom, holding a [Huagong San] pill in his hand. He had temporarily obtained it from Wanhua in the restroom.
"Where's your water glass?" Xu Qian tapped on Meng Liangchen's table. Seeing him raise his face sleepily, he didn't say anything, but just gave him the pills in his hand.
"What?" Meng Liangchen took it, still a little confused.
"It will be fine after eating it."
Meng Liangchen looked at him, then took out a water bottle from his bag, swallowed the medicine, and was about to drink some water when he realized that the pill in his mouth had dissolved. He couldn't taste what it was; it wasn't bitter or sweet, but his mind suddenly became much clearer.
"That's enough." Xu Qian left only after watching the debuff above his head disappear.
...
Meng Liangchen held back until after lunch when he returned to his dormitory before asking about the pill from that morning.
"Did you go to the infirmary today?" Xu Qian asked him in return.
Meng Liangchen was taken aback. "Yes, yes."
"Have you eaten or drunk anything?" he asked again.
"Hmm... I just drank a glass of warm water in the infirmary."
Xu Qian stared at the ceiling without replying. "I'll go take a look this afternoon. You come with me."
Meng Liangchen immediately tensed up, "Is there a problem?"
"I don't know yet." Xu Qian turned to the side, opened his phone, and sent a message to Meng Ziqiu, asking about Xiao Qing's recent situation.
Soon, Meng Ziqiu sent back a photo. In the picture, Xiaoqing was eating a roasted sweet potato. Wait... a sweet potato?!
Meng Ziqiu:
Sure, she's eating with great relish!
Xu Qian covered his eyes, feeling somewhat sorry for Miss Chu. Meng Ziqiu had turned a perfectly good carnivore into a vegetarian; it was truly a terrible thing!
Turning around, Xu Qian found Meng Liangchen still staring at him expectantly, and he felt a little helpless. "I don't know either. I'll have to go and see for myself. But... there must be a reason why you're so weak."
"..." Meng Liangchen, who was really weak, wanted to cry.
At this moment, Meng Liangchen's phone on the table vibrated. He opened it and saw a video link sent by Lu Yuan from the next class. He recognized the cover image very well; it was none other than his brother Xu, or more accurately, another face of his brother Xu in disguise.
Lu Yuan:
Lao Meng, you're about to reach the pinnacle of your life! All the girls in our class are asking for your QQ number!
Meng Liangchen showed the cover to Brother Xu and said, "Brother You, the pinnacle of your life has arrived."
Xu Qian glanced at it, his heart unmoved. If this was the pinnacle of life, then he, Wuqishan, was too unambitious. Although he believed that he was devoted to the Dao and had no interest in romance, he still had many admirers!
Meng Liangchen opened the video link and played it aloud without headphones, since no one in his dorm was sleeping anyway; the other two were either playing games or watching live streams.
At the beginning of the video, Meng Liangchen saw a group of people on the screen commenting "[Cover is at 02:44]". Without thinking, he skipped to 2 minutes and 44 seconds, and sure enough, the screen was instantly flooded with comments.
Meng Liangchen watched as the comments on the screen went from "[I'll give you ten seconds to get all the information about this man]" and "[I'm really into this guy!]" to "[Sisters, let's all go, he already has someone else]" and "[Jealousy is making me feel like my body is going to break apart]". In the end, she could only sigh for her female compatriots: Reality is often cruel.
