Chapter 11 Love Letter Chen Jingchi: You guys care about her a lot?
When Zhou arrived at the dormitory, he saw a missed voice call on his phone from Chen Jingchi.
On the way back, her clothes were soaked through, and the wind made her feel cold all over. Her hair was long, and when it got wet, it stuck to her face and neck, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yu looked at his disheveled reflection in the mirror and silently thought that he still couldn't completely trust the weather forecast in the future.
She didn't have time to reply to the message, not daring to waste a second. She grabbed a change of clothes and hurried into the bathroom. Her health wasn't very good, and she was prone to getting sick during seasonal changes. She was most afraid of catching a cold after getting caught in the rain.
However, when she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, sneezing one after another, Zhou Yu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
She never expected that the excuse she used to skip the class team building activity today would actually come true.
I really can't take sick leave so casually anymore, or it might actually become a reality.
Zhou picked up his phone and sent a message to Chen Jingchi: 【Is there something you need?】
Chen Jingchi's voice call came shortly after she left the rehearsal room, and she wondered if there were any other issues with the lyrics. At that time, she was running wildly in the rain, and all she could hear was the rumble of thunder overhead and the sound of raindrops hitting her body; she didn't even notice her phone.
A few seconds later.
Chen Jingchi: [Is it okay to put your name on the lyrics for the album?]
So that's what it is.
Zhou wanted to give herself an English name, but she plans to discontinue using it. If she intends to maintain a long-term collaboration with Chen Jingchi, her name will appear in the public eye more than once.
Zhou hesitated for a moment, initially wanting to choose a pen name with a similar pronunciation, but after much thought, he ultimately succumbed to his personal desires.
The song's lyric page will list the names of the lyricist and composer together.
This was a scene she never dared to imagine before, and Zhou wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Zhou Yu: [No problem]
The rain came and went suddenly. Before long, the dark clouds dispersed and the sky was clear again, as if the heavy rain not long ago was just an illusion. Only the undried water marks on the ground were evidence that the dark clouds had passed.
Zhou Yu had a premonition that she might get sick, so after lunch she made herself a packet of cold medicine as a precaution. Not long after, she felt her head getting heavy, so she climbed into bed and planned to take a nap to recover.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, An Kejia and Fan Xin returned to their dormitory after the team building activity. They saw Zhou Yu still lying on the bed. The two looked at each other and their expressions changed.
Fan Xin stood on the stool, raised her hand and touched Zhou Yu's forehead. It was burning hot: "Mom, Zhou Zhou, you're so hot! Are you alright?"
An Kejia put down her bag and said, "Luckily, the weather was bad this afternoon, so we came back early. We quickly called her down to the school clinic; she's going to get seriously injured from the fever."
Zhou Yu was half asleep when Fan Xin shook him awake. He felt dizzy as soon as he opened his eyes. Realizing that he was feverish and his body temperature was abnormal, Zhou Yu struggled to get out of bed.
Seeing that her fair cheeks were flushed a light pink, Fan Xin quickly reached out to support her arm and asked, "Have you eaten today?"
"I ate," Zhou Yu said weakly.
As she got out of bed, she grabbed her phone, glanced at the time, and asked, "You're back so early?"
“Yes.” An Kejia helped her take her student ID from the table and also grabbed an umbrella when she came out: “It rained again in the afternoon. The class monitor had planned an outdoor barbecue in the afternoon, but it was impossible to do it in this weather, so we had to end it early.”
Fan Xin also complained, "It's a good thing you didn't go. There were so many mosquitoes on the mountain after it rained, and my legs are covered in bites."
The two walked on either side of Zhou Yu, and An Kejia asked her, "Did you sleep all day?"
Zhou Yu was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "More or less."
She didn't want to tell the two of them the real reason she was sick, since the result was already the same, and there was no need to delve into the details of the process.
When Zhou Yu arrived at the hospital and her temperature was taken, it was indeed over 38 degrees Celsius. When the school doctor said she needed to have an IV drip for three days, Zhou Yu felt a little annoyed.
"You don't need to stay with me." Zhou Yu didn't want to trouble them anymore, and said to An Kejia and Fan Xin, "The IV drip takes a long time, I can manage on my own."
An Kejia left the umbrella for her and asked what she wanted to eat for dinner. Zhou Yu shook her head: "I don't have much of an appetite. Let's order takeout later."
The two exchanged a few words and left. Zhou looked at the few bottles of medicine on the IV stand and guessed that it wouldn't be over for at least two hours.
Fortunately, there were only her and the doctor in the infirmary. Zhou Yu was woken up halfway through her afternoon nap. She was still sleepy and leaned back in her chair, feeling drowsy.
Some time later, in a half-dream state, Zhou Yu heard voices outside. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a short-haired girl walk in.
Both were sick and needed IV drips. Two minutes later, the girl turned and walked towards the chair. Upon seeing Zhou Yu, her gaze lingered for a moment, then she walked up to her and asked with surprise, "Hey, are you Zhou Yu?"
Just hearing those words gave Zhou Yu a bad feeling. She wasn't familiar with this girl's face; they weren't in the same class, so the only way she knew her was through that activity.
Since the start of the semester, Zhou Yu has kept a low profile and tried to minimize her presence. However, Chen Jingchi's aura was too great, and she could guess how many people would discuss their names and appearances in private after the list was announced.
Finding the admission photo wasn't difficult; it was publicly displayed in the class, although she didn't think she was particularly good-looking enough to be memorable.
Zhou tried to avoid the class team-building activity, but still couldn't avoid being recognized by a stranger in the school clinic. Being recognized by a stranger is not something to be happy about.
She could only nod.
"Wow, what a coincidence." The girl immediately sat down in the chair next to her, smiled at her, and said, "I'm a journalism student, I've seen your picture before."
It was just a guess at first, but after hearing what she said, it seems that my photos are no longer a secret online.
Zhou tried his best to suppress his subconscious urge to avoid her and greeted her, "Hello."
The doctor took the medicine bottle and started the IV drip for the girl. She stretched out her left hand and leaned towards Zhou Yu on her right to ask, "Have you seen Chen Jingchi since you were selected?"
Upon hearing this name, Zhou Yu sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, the only reason I chat with him is because of him.
"No," she said without changing her expression.
"We'll definitely meet again soon, right? You're the lucky one he personally chose." The girl leaned closer and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
Zhou Yu had already guessed what she was going to say next, and out of politeness, she did not interrupt her.
"I really want his autograph." The girl smiled ingratiatingly. "I finally got to see him during the military training interview, but I didn't get one. If it were you, he would definitely give it to me, right?"
Not long ago, An Kejia successfully obtained an electronic signature from him, and Zhou Yu guessed that if he were to ask him for it, he would probably give it to her.
But she didn't want to test Chen Jingchi's attitude by being his partner, let alone help someone else with this.
This person was a complete stranger whom Zhou Yu was meeting for the first time, and Zhou Yu had never been one to play the nice guy.
So he flatly refused her: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."
The girl clearly wasn't ready to give up so easily. She pleaded, "Please, all the girls in his class don't know him well. You're the only one with a better chance. Or you could offer two hundred, how about that?"
Zhou Yu frowned slightly: "It has nothing to do with money."
"So what do you want?" the girl quickly replied. "Just tell me, and I'll see if I can make it happen."
Zhou Yu had completely lost the will to communicate with her, and she said without leaving any room for negotiation, "I don't want to ask him for an autograph."
She never asked for it for others, nor did she ever have such thoughts herself. She never held Chen Jingchi in a position of worship.
The girl looked at her quietly for two seconds, then shrugged and said, "Fine."
Zhou Yu knows that speaking too bluntly can easily offend people. She doesn't deliberately try to please others, and no one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do. Therefore, in order to lower other people's expectations of her, she tries her best to keep the distance between people at just the right level.
The girl's words had already crossed the line, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to nip her hopes in the bud.
The infusion room returned to silence, with only the occasional cell phone notification sound.
Disturbed like this, Zhou Yu was no longer sleepy. She picked up her phone and looked at Weibo for a while, and time passed by unnoticed.
After the last bottle of IV fluid was finished, the doctor removed the needle, and Zhou got up to pay.
Just as I turned to leave, I heard voices coming from the doorway. A woman's voice asked, "Where's the doctor?"
"You went to dinner, didn't you? I told you I'd come later, there's no rush," another male voice replied.
Zhou Yu felt that the male voice sounded familiar. When she came out of the infusion room, she looked up and bumped into the couple.
No wonder the name sounded familiar; I had just seen him in the rehearsal room that morning. Zhou Yu remembered his name: drummer Zhan Li.
"Huh?" Zhan Li was also taken aback when he saw her, his gaze falling on the white IV patch on the back of her hand. He greeted her first, "Hi."
Zhou Yu glanced at the girl next to him and nodded in response.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Yu could still hear the conversation behind him.
"Who is she?" the girl asked softly.
"I'll tell you later."
Once she turned around and could no longer see anyone, Tan Bei asked, "Who is it? Is it someone from the acting department?"
“No,” Zhan Li explained, “she is Zhou Yu.”
There was no need for further description; Tan Bei knew immediately upon hearing the name. Her eyes widened: "So it was her."
She turned around to take one last look, but the person had already walked far away, and she couldn't even see their back anymore.
The doctor came out, and Tan Bei hurried to the counter to ask for some medicine for her mouth ulcers. While she was at it, Zhan Li opened WeChat, opened a small group chat of four people, and sent a message.
Zhan Li: [I just saw Zhou Yulai getting an IV drip at the school clinic.]
They hadn't been apart for long and were both free, so they quickly started chatting in the group chat.
Zhuo Wencheng: [What did I tell you? He must have gotten caught in the rain.]
Zhuo Wencheng: [This makes us seem very ungentlemanly.]
Xu Yue: [I didn't see you personally escort her.]
Zhuo Wencheng: [? ? ?]
Zhuo Wencheng: [How dare I overstep my bounds?]
The group was silent for ten seconds.
Chen Jingchi: [Are you all very concerned about her?]
Another ten seconds passed.
Zhan Li: [This was just sent by my girlfriend using my phone.]
Zhuo Wencheng: [This was just sent by Brother Yue using my phone]
Xu Yue: [?]
