Jasmine is Wen Zhixia's student. She's just started her senior year of high school and will be taking the college entrance exam next year.
Wen Zhixia smiled slightly, quickened her pace, and replied with her head down, "Just entered the residential area, almost there."
Jasmine: I'm waiting for you! I asked Auntie to make some sweet soup~ We'll drink it together when you come!
Wen Zhixia replied with an "okay," put her phone back in her pocket, and continued walking inside.
There's an artificial hill in this neighborhood. If you go through the hill, you can get directly to Jasmine's apartment building. Otherwise, you'd have to go around in circles to get there.
Just as Wen Zhixia was about to step onto the stairs between the two artificial hills, she saw a man wearing a mask walking towards her from the opposite side, talking on the phone.
The staircase between the artificial hills is quite narrow, usually only wide enough for two people to pass side by side, but the man is exceptionally tall and takes up almost half of it.
Seeing this, Wen Zhixia stopped and prepared to wait for the man to pass before going over herself.
"I'm fine, you just focus on your class, you don't need to come over, cough cough cough." The man's voice was a little hoarse, and there were occasional coughs.
He noticed someone standing on the stairs and quickened his pace unconsciously, but he had to listen carefully to what the person on the phone was saying. He reassured him, "Jiazhou, I'm really fine. I'll go to the hospital now. You focus on your studies."
The man walked closer and closer, finally managing to calm the person on the other end of the phone, but unexpectedly his foot slipped and he lost his footing. Perhaps because he was sick, his body couldn't keep up with his reaction, and he fell straight forward.
Wen Zhixia was startled and subconsciously took a step back. After realizing what was happening, she rushed forward, grabbed the man's arm tightly with one hand, and wrapped her other arm around his waist.
Shen Jiachen's mind was in complete chaos, but the fall didn't happen. When he came to his senses, he found himself awkwardly falling onto a girl who was two sizes smaller than him.
I don't know if he was sick or not, but he seemed dazed and didn't move for a moment.
Wen Zhixia's reaction was purely physical. Luckily, she was usually strong and energetic, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to support such a heavy person. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Um, are you alright?"
As she spoke, she helped Shen Jiachen sit up straight and then quickly withdrew her hand.
But the other person seemed stunned, staring straight at him with their eyes.
Wen Zhixia met his eyes and found that this man's eyes were exceptionally beautiful, but his face was unusually red.
The man had just made a phone call, and he hadn't tried to tone down his voice. She heard it and knew he was sick.
After the other person regained his balance, Wen Zhixia bent down and handed him the phone that he had dropped on the ground, saying politely, "Be careful."
After saying that, she walked past him and stepped onto the small staircase in front of her.
After everyone left, Shen Jiachen came to his senses. He held his phone in his broad hand and turned his head in a daze, only to see a slender figure from behind.
