Chapter 102 The troublesome little thing
How could that be?
Xie Tinglan was stunned for a moment.
Wasn't Xia Linxing eating... strawberry cake? Why did he get a rash? Or is he allergic to strawberries too?
When the crowd heard Xie Tinglan's name, they immediately dispersed.
As a result, Xie Tinglan also saw Xia Linxing surrounded by the crowd.
A dense patch of red dots had appeared on Xia Linxing's neck, with a sickly pink tint around the edges. They stood out against his porcelain-white skin and rose and fell with his rapid breathing.
The red color continued to spread outwards and now had spread behind the ears. Tiny red dots also began to appear on Xia Linxing's face.
At this moment, he had been helped to sit on a chair, his head leaning weakly on Shen Sibai who was standing next to him; he closed his eyes, as if he was trying his best to endure some discomfort, and only his constantly trembling eyelashes showed that he was awake.
Xie Tinglan frowned slightly, took a few steps forward and took Xia Linxing from Shen Sibai.
"Xia Linxing..." He patted Xia Linxing's face gently. But Xia Linxing just frowned and said "hmm" very weakly as a response, without even opening his eyelids.
Xie Tinglan couldn't help but look at the anxious staff member standing by: "He must be allergic..."
"Excuse me, do you have a medicine box here? Do you have any emergency allergy medicine?"
The staff, who were originally at a loss, immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes!"
"Teacher Xie, please wait a moment. I'll go to the front desk and get it now!"
"Excuse me..." Xie Tinglan nodded to the staff member, then turned to ask the other trainees, "Who can tell me what happened..."
"What is Xia Linxing allergic to?"
As soon as the words fell, the other trainees all turned their eyes to Shen Sibai. Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over as well.
Shen Sibai pursed his lips, took a step forward, and bowed slightly to Xie Tinglan: "I'm sorry, Teacher Xie... This is my fault..."
He glanced at Xia Linxing, whose face was pale and whose eyes were closed in pain, and his face was full of guilt: "Xia Linxing was fine before."
When Xia Linxing was eating the strawberry cake he had picked, he was fine. The incident happened because Shen Sibai shared his cake with Xia Linxing.
Chen Sibai's reason for sharing the cake was simple: he saw Xia Linxing hesitant in front of the cake table, not knowing which one to choose, and thought Xia Linxing wanted to eat both cakes. So when Xia Linxing was happily eating the strawberry cake, he kindly asked Xia Linxing if she wanted some mango cake for a change.
Xia Linxing happily agreed.
Chen Sibai happily cut a piece of mango cake from the corner he hadn't touched for Xia Linxing. He even deliberately chose the side with more mango pulp so that Xia Linxing could eat more.
But after Xia Linxing happily put the cake he got into his mouth, things started to go wrong.
Xia Linxing started scratching his neck while eating. When Shen Sibai asked him what was wrong, he just said "I feel a little itchy" and said nothing more. When Shen Sibai finally noticed that there was something wrong with Xia Linxing's neck, Xia Linxing's eyes had already begun to blur and he was shaky.
It really scared Shen Sibai at that time.
"So that's how it is..." Xie Tinglan seemed to be lost in thought. He lowered his head to look at Xia Linxing, who was leaning in his arms with an uncomfortable look on her face, and said cryptically, "So... he ate it himself..."
"Teacher Xie... Is Xia Linxing okay?" Shen Sibai's face was full of self-blame, thinking that he had harmed Xia Linxing. If he hadn't given Xia Linxing that mango cake, nothing would have happened.
“This is none of your business…” Although Xie Tinglan didn’t like Shen Sibai very much for some unknown reasons, he still had to say something fair at this time: “You don’t know that Xia Linxing is allergic to mangoes.”
"After all..." He lowered his head and glanced at Xia Linxing, "Some people... don't even know (that they are allergic)..." They rushed over foolishly when they saw a cake.
Now that he knew the reason, Xie Tinglan began to drive people away without any hesitation: "Okay, all of you should stop gathering here. The lack of air circulation will only make Xia Linxing more uncomfortable."
"How about this..."
He looked at the group of trainees who were looking at each other, unsure of what to do next, and said, "The production crew's car will be arriving soon. Go back to the car and wait. It's also a good time to tell the driver about what's going on here. Please ask him to wait for a moment."
"Just let me wait here with Xia Linxing."
"You've been filming for so long today, you must be tired. Go take a rest in the car..."
Since Xie Tinglan had already spoken, even if the other trainees wanted to stay and watch the fun, they had no choice but to agree.
The trainees left in a large crowd, and Xie Tinglan half-carried, half-dragged Xia Linxing to the empty lounge. After he placed her on the sofa, a staff member trotted over with the first aid kit.
"Thank you, teacher. Here!"
Xie Tinglan took the medicine box and thanked the other party, politely asking him to go about his own business first and leave this to him.
The staff left with many thanks.
Xie Tinglan opened the medicine box and looked at the spare medicine inside. After a moment, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"elder brother?"
Xie Zhenyue's somewhat puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.
Strange...why is her brother calling her at this hour?
"Xie Zhenyue..." Xie Tinglan got straight to the point: "Do you know what medicine Xia Linxing usually took when she had allergies in the past?"
"Brother Xingxing is allergic?!" Xie Zhenyue raised her voice.
Xie Tinglan frowned and said threateningly, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Do you want Mom to know?"
Xie Zhenyue quickly lowered her voice, "Why is Brother Xingxing allergic? Why is he allergic? Is it serious? I remember he was allergic to food before..."
She named two drugs.
Xie Tinglan rummaged through the medicine box and actually found one of the medicines Xie Zhenyue mentioned.
"Okay, I got it."
Xie Tinglan unceremoniously used up his own sister and then abandoned her, leaving only a sentence "Don't tell Mom and Aunt Su yet" and hung up the phone, isolating Xie Zhenyue's dissatisfied screams on the other end of the phone.
He poured a cup of warm water, peeled out a pill, pinched it with his fingers and handed it to Xia Linxing's mouth.
"Xia Linxing, Xia Linxing..."
He patted Xia Linxing's face gently and coaxed her softly, "Get up and take your medicine, Xingxing..."
"Take the medicine and you'll feel better."
"Be good, open your mouth and listen..."
I don’t know if it was because of what he said, “You’ll feel better after taking the medicine,” that Xia Linxing, who had originally had no reaction, had her eyelashes tremble slightly, and she actually opened her mouth a little with her eyes closed.
A trace of heat leaked out from between the dry lips. Xie Tinglan seized the opportunity and quickly put the pill in without noticing the warm and soft lips that his fingertips touched.
He held Xia Linxing's neck with one hand and picked up the warm water on the table with the other, carefully pouring it over the edge of the cup. The warm water slowly poured into her mouth. Xie Tinglan watched Xia Linxing's Adam's apple roll as he swallowed the pill with the warm water.
After swallowing the pill, Xia Linxing closed his mouth, turned his head away, and was unwilling to continue drinking.
Xie Tinglan did not force it. He put the cup back on the table, and then gently wiped away the remaining water stains on the corner of Xia Linxing's mouth with his fingers.
Xia Linxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he wanted to dodge, but his body only allowed him to purse his lips and he was unable to move otherwise.
Xie Tinglan withdrew his hand.
His fingertips still retained the touch of the other person's lips. Although Xia Linxing did not have a fever, his fingers felt as if they were slightly burned, and the residual temperature lingered.
"Just a little while since we last met, and it's become like this..."
He gently lifted Xia Linxing's hair that fell on her forehead and sighed:
"That troublesome little thing..."
