Chapter 52 He figured out a solution!
Only after standing up did Xie Tinglan feel that his reaction was a bit excessive.
He sat back down slowly, tapping his fingers on the table.
Maybe he was just concentrating on building the bottle and Xia Linxing came out and he didn't see her - no, that's impossible.
Even if Xia Linxing had left the dormitory, he should have seen his figure in the nearby surveillance footage, but now... He scanned the surrounding surveillance footage, and apart from a few scattered staff members passing by quickly, there was no trace of Xia Linxing in the footage.
So, something happened to Xia Linxing...? Did she faint from dehydration? Or did she fall down and lose the strength to stand up?
Xie Tinglan stood up again and subconsciously rushed towards the trainee dormitory.
He comforted himself in his heart: He did this not because he cared about Xia Linxing, but because his family asked him to take care of Xia Linxing (Xie family: Did you agree before?).
He walked out while thinking this. When he passed by the vending machine, he also bought a bottle of sports drink with coins, ready to replenish electrolytes for Xia Linxing.
He was already thinking about how to explain to Xia Linxing why he came when he found him, when a staff member called him: "Thank you, Teacher!"
"Finally found you!" The staff member ran over breathlessly. "Thank you, Teacher. I've been looking for you for a long time! The director here said there's a meeting that needs you to attend. Look, you..."
Xie Tinglan frowned slightly and looked down at the sports drink in his hand. "Is it urgent?"
The staff nodded: "The other instructors are here, only you are missing..."
"Okay, I understand..."
Xie Tinglan sighed softly. There was no other way. It seemed he couldn't go find Xia Linxing on his own. After all, he couldn't let others wait for him alone.
He stuffed the sports drink in his hand to the staff member and said, "I'm going to a meeting now. Can you help me bring this drink to Xia Linxing?"
"Huh?" The staff member was obviously stunned.
Xie Tinglan explained, "He should be in his dormitory now. He was feeling unwell just now, so I accompanied him to the infirmary. Can you help me check on him and see if he's feeling any better..."
"Oh oh..." The staff member finally reacted and took the bottle of drink in a hurry.
No wonder Xie Tinglan has such a good reputation! The staff member sighed inwardly: He even cares so much about the trainees; not only did he send them to the infirmary, but after returning, he bought them drinks and continued to care for their health.
Teacher Xie deserves to have so many fans!
"Okay, okay, Mr. Xie, I'll ask someone to send it over later--"
"Teacher Xie?!"
A trainee happened to pass by and immediately ran over excitedly after seeing Xie Tinglan.
"Teacher Xie, are you guys going to deliver some drinks to Xia Linxing? I can help!" The trainee patted his chest, "Xia Linxing and I share a dorm. I'll just go back."
"Really?" Xie Tinglan then turned his gaze to the trainee who claimed to be in the same dormitory with Xia Linxing and nodded at him. "Thank you for your help..."
He looked at the name tag on the other person's body, "Ding Shaoyuan."
"You're welcome." Ding Shaoyuan seemed even more excited when he saw Xie Tinglan nod to him.
The staff handed him the bottle of drink and left with Xie Tinglan.
Ding Shaoyuan watched the two of them leave before returning to the dormitory with his drinks.
"Xia Linxing, Xia Linxing, are you there?"
When Ding Shaoyuan opened the door of the dormitory, he thought he would see Xia Linxing, but he unexpectedly found that there was no one in the dormitory.
"Strange... is he gone already?"
He was about to leave and look for someone outside when he saw a trembling hand reaching out from the edge of the table. Then a thin, fragmented figure floated out from that place: "In..."
"I am here……"
"here……"
Ding Shaoyuan took a look at the hand that looked like a horror movie and was speechless for a second: "..."
He walked towards the trembling hand and asked, "Why are you squatting here?"
He looked at Xia Linxing, who was squatting on the ground behind the table, curled up into a small ball, with surprise, his eyes and tone full of incomprehension.
Xia Linxing raised her face, her face flushed and full of embarrassment: "My legs, my legs are numb..."
"I'll just stay here and squat for a while..." He had to slow himself down.
Otherwise, he was afraid that his legs would give out and he would really fall, and then he would really have to go to the infirmary. Although now... Xia Linxing also felt that he was half dead...
Xia Linxing: QAQ
"Oh...so that's it..." Ding Shaoyuan saw Xia Linxing squatting there, and had no intention of helping him up. He just put the sports drink he had taken from the staff on the table in front of Xia Linxing.
"Here, this bottle of drink is what Teacher Xie asked me to bring you..."
"Ah?" Xia Linxing looked up in confusion.
...Xie Tinglan? Bringing drinks?
He poked his head a little over the edge of the table and looked at the bottle on it.
Oh, it's a sports drink...
System 999 was very excited: "Baby, drink quickly! Drink some sports drinks to replenish electrolytes!" If it continues like this, it is really afraid that its baby will become dehydrated!
This bottle of sports drink arrived at the perfect time!
Xie Tinglan, you are such a good person!
"Really..." Although Xia Linxing was a little suspicious of when that bad guy Xie Tinglan had become so kind, he still listened to System 999 and reached out to take the bottle of drink off the table. Then, with difficulty, he opened the bottle cap and took a sip.
He pounded his drink, a look of surprise in his eyes: "It tastes okay..." He looked down at the bottle. It was still lemon-flavored, and the smell alone was delicious. Xia Linxing decided to buy more to drink in the future.
"Hey, Xia Linxing..." Seeing Xia Linxing drink the drink and seem to have regained her strength to stand up from the ground, Ding Shaoyuan, who had stayed in the dormitory, also began to test his own: "Why did Teacher Xie send you to the infirmary today?"
"I remember... your group isn't under the supervision of Teacher Xie, right?"
Ding Shaoyuan had always known that Xia Linxing had a good family background. Whether it was the brand of Xia Linxing's private clothes hanging in the closet or the nickname of Xia Linxing "Little Master" circulated among the trainees, this was proven without exception. So when Ding Shaoyuan passed by and overheard the conversation between Xie Tinglan and the staff, his first reaction was -
Did Xia Linxing and Xie Tinglan already know each other privately?
"Did you...know Teacher Xie before?"
"...Xia Linxing? Hello, Xia Linxing? Are you listening to me?"
But Xia Linxing blocked Ding Shaoyuan's voice at this moment, because he was whispering to System 999: "999, you said that the medicine I got is so powerful. What if Shen Sibai accidentally drinks it?"
There can't be a "what if" in this kind of thing! He doesn't want to actually commit a crime!
After hearing what Xia Linxing said, System 999 also became nervous, "Indeed..." After all, its good child had changed the plot several times. If they were unlucky and Shen Sibai really drank the drugged water, then the plot would be over!
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
"If there was any way to make Shen Sibai realize that something is wrong after opening the water..." Xia Linxing said as he opened the bottle cap and took another sip.
A light lemon scent lingers on the nose.
Um?
Xia Linxing looked down at the drink bottle in his hand, and his eyes lit up.
He figured out a solution!
