Wen Zhixia held her tightly and walked steadily toward the door: "I've already given you the injection, but it will take at least half an hour. I'll take you to the school clinic first and let the school doctor see if he can help you with the pain relief, so you don't faint."
Yu Mingxue seemed stunned, forgetting for a moment that her stomach was hurting terribly. Wen Zhixia picked her up very easily and steadily.
But it only lasted a moment before the pain swept through her mind again. She could only barely free one hand to tightly hook her arm around Wen Zhixia's neck to prevent herself from falling.
But Wen Zhixia simply lifted her up gently: "Don't worry, you won't fall."
When her mother was seriously ill, there was no longer any need for her to stay in the hospital, and since they had no money, her mother insisted on returning to her hometown.
In her final days, Wen Zhixia carried her to the toilet, washed up, and took a bath. Her mother's condition worsened day by day, and eventually she was in a state of confusion. Even the thinnest person became very heavy.
Yu Mingxue had a stomachache, but she was still somewhat conscious and could put some effort into supporting her neck, making it easier for Wen Zhixia to carry her.
Moreover, they were on the second floor, so going down the stairs was quick.
The dormitory supervisor was startled to see Wen Zhixia carrying Yu Mingxue downstairs. She quickly opened the door for them, and Wen Zhixia hurriedly explained the situation to her. The dormitory supervisor then went to the school clinic to find a doctor.
She then followed a few steps behind, carrying Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue gripped Wen Zhixia's clothes tightly with her fingers, her palms sweating so much that the fabric was soaked.
Wen Zhixia's aura hadn't changed much, and she rarely joked: "Miss, you've almost torn my clothes. You'll have to buy me a new set after you're better."
Yu Mingxue thought to herself, "It's just one piece of clothing. I could pay for it with a hundred pieces of clothing."
Wen Zhixia carried her hurriedly into the night. Yu Mingxue's mind was hazy. She heard Wen Zhixia say gently, "Don't sleep, we'll be at the school clinic soon."
Yu Mingxue regained some consciousness, and Wen Zhixia asked, "When did the pain start?"
"I took a shower not long ago..." Yu Mingxue said haltingly, "and then I came back after having a few drinks."
She was supposed to party all night with her friends, but after drinking for more than an hour, her friends were called away by their boyfriends. Feeling bored drinking alone, she came straight home.
She took a shower back in her dorm and started feeling a little uncomfortable while blow-drying her hair, but she didn't pay much attention to it. However, the pain gradually worsened until it felt like she was being stripped of her strength. She tried to make a phone call, but accidentally dropped her phone on the ground.
Every movement felt like a knife was cutting into her stomach; even breathing felt like being slowly tortured. Fortunately, Wen Zhixia returned shortly afterward.
Wen Zhixia hummed in agreement: "Drink less next time."
Yu Mingxue mumbled an "Mmm" in her sleep. She felt Wen Zhixia lift her up slightly again, which made her a little more awake.
Fortunately, the dormitory supervisor soon came out with the school doctor, who took Yu Mingxue from Wen Zhixia's arms.
Wen Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, shook her arms, and followed closely behind to the school clinic.
Before Yu Mingxue lost consciousness, she saw Wen Zhixia quietly following behind her, and then she didn't react at all.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
The pain had subsided, but she still felt weak. She turned her head and saw Wen Zhixia sitting on a chair to the side, dozing off.
Yu Mingxue blinked, and finally called out, "...Wen Zhixia."
Wen Zhixia wasn't sound asleep; she still had to keep an eye on Yu Mingxue's IV drip, so she woke up instantly after Yu Mingxue called her name.
She subconsciously looked up at the IV bottle, which was still more than half full.
Wen Zhixia yawned, then looked at Yu Mingxue lying on the bed and whispered, "You're awake. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Yu Mingxue shook her head slightly: "It's alright."
After she finished speaking, she noticed some snoring beside her. She looked at where she was sitting. Her feet and right side were separated from the other beds by curtains.
Wen Zhixia explained, "There are no beds available, so you'll have to make do."
They came late at night. The People's Hospital of City A is always short of beds, and beds are set up in the corridors outside. They were lucky to get an empty spot today.
Yu Mingxue looked at her: "Just you alone?"
"Your counselor has gone to talk to the doctor." Wen Zhixia yawned again: "It's acute gastroenteritis. You should sleep a little longer. We'll do a thorough check-up when it's light, and you can go home once everything is fine."
Seeing her sleepy look, Yu Mingxue moved her lips twice and said, "Okay."
Wen Zhixia nodded and sat back down. Yu Mingxue asked, "What time is it?"
"It's 4:30," Wen Zhixia said. "I'll go back to my dorm after your counselor comes back."
Originally, Wen Zhixia could have gone straight back to school after everything was settled, but Yu Mingxue's counselor had gone back to her hometown. The dormitory supervisor and the school doctor went back first after they learned that the counselor was coming. After all, they were still on duty and staying here would be in case something happened at school and they couldn't find anyone.
In the end, Wen Zhixia had no choice but to stay.
Yu Mingxue hummed in agreement: "Give me my phone."
Wen Zhixia took Yu Mingxue's phone out of her bag and handed it to her.
Yu Mingxue made a phone call to someone, and after saying a few words, she said, "The driver will be here soon, and he will take you back to school."
"Okay." Wen Zhixia didn't have much to say. "You rest, I'll watch the water for you."
Yu Mingxue looked at the IV drip; there wasn't much left.
Wen Zhixia was already sitting in a chair, squinting her eyes as she continued to take a nap.
Not a single extra word was uttered.
