Volume 1 Chapter 16 This is the real boss
"No, when did you become a fragile college student? You've had a cold for four days and you haven't recovered yet? I was fine the next day." Ji Yunbai heard Xu Jingmo's weak tone and exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Jingmo was a man who had no problem challenging himself to go winter swimming in the cold months of winter, but now he's been dealt with by a minor cold?
Before Xu Jingmo could receive Du Ruo's concern, he was met with Ji Yunbai's ridicule instead.
He glanced over with displeasure, his eyes full of disgust, "I risked my life to save a poor thing."
Ji Yunbai shut up. Well, he ignored it. Who said that this young master was his savior?
He quickly stood up and poured Xu Jingmo a cup of hot water, and asked him about his health. "Brother Mo, I am so ungrateful. Please drink more hot water."
"Get lost."
“Chirp~”
Except for Du Ruo, who looked calm, everyone at the table was laughing as they watched the two interact. Wen Fei suddenly burst into laughter, unable to hold back her laughter when she recalled the scene at that time. While laughing, she explained in detail to Du Ruo:
"Yunbai's father has recently invested in a resort. Last Saturday, many of us went there with friends. Yunbai saw a tourist there catch a big fish weighing several dozen kilograms, so he got excited and decided to go fishing. However, he lacked experience, and although he caught the fish, he didn't know how to swim, so the fish dragged him back into the lake. He couldn't swim, so he panicked the moment he got into the water, and Ah Mo jumped in to save him. As a result, they both caught a cold that night."
Xu Jingmo added coldly, "The shallow water is less than 1.8 meters deep. Even if you stand up, the water may not reach your head. You are struggling there as if a fish has bitten your foot and won't let go. No matter how hard you try, you can't pull yourself out."
At this time of year, the temperature of the lake water is only 2 or 3 degrees. If Ji Yunbai had not struggled, the two of them would not have had to soak in it for so long and frozen to death.
Ji Yunbai rubbed his nose awkwardly and said innocently: "Can you blame me? I was just scared..."
When he was a kid, he was playing at the beach and was accidentally swept into the water by the waves. The fear of being suffocated by the water still haunts him. As a result, he has been unable to persist in learning to swim. He gets scared every time he is slightly suffocated by the water. He rarely goes to the beach. Who would have thought that he would be dragged into the calm lake by a fish!
Hearing this, Shi Rui and the other two imagined the funny scene in their minds and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When you go fishing, you get caught by the fish instead, and that's the end of the story.
Several people at the table were laughing hysterically, but Du Ruo still had a calm expression on her face, showing no interest in other people's embarrassing moments.
She carefully looked at Xu Jingmo's face and said, "Let's go to the hospital after dinner. He has had a fever for so many days, it's not a small matter."
Xu Jingmo thought that if he didn't take that cold shower in the morning, maybe things would be better.
But since he had already shown weakness, he didn't care about face. He shook his head and said, "I have classes in the afternoon. I'll just take some medicine and hold on."
Chu Cong advised with concern: "Second brother, didn't your fever go away after taking the medicine yesterday? It came back again today, which means that the medicine has no effect. You should go to the hospital for an IV drip."
Shi Rui also advised: "That's right, we were so excited chatting with my sister just now, and you were absent-minded, how uncomfortable you must be."
"You have an abnormally hot fever now, go to the hospital."
Du Ruo was too lazy to talk nonsense and used an almost affirmative tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
Even primary school students know that if you are sick you must seek treatment immediately. She didn't understand how just holding on could be considered a treatment method.
Xu Jingmo saw that she seemed to be running out of patience, and he didn't expect her to coax him or beg him to go to the hospital. If he said one more word, she would probably suspect that he had an IQ problem.
He discussed with her in a low voice, "Can we go in the evening? I took four classes yesterday, and my counselor didn't give me that much time off. My afternoon class is linear algebra, and I'll have trouble keeping up if I skip a class. I also want to stay in graduate school."
Du Ruo raised his eyebrows slightly and repeated, "Linear algebra?"
"ah."
"Whatever you want."
It's such a simple thing, but he can't catch up with the progress just because he missed a class? He is really getting stupider and stupider.
Forget it, she decided not to fight the patient and let him be.
Several people at the table had a brief encounter with Du Ruo and only had a general understanding of her personality. She was really beautiful, but also really difficult to approach.
It's too cold. Listening to her perfunctory and cold words, everyone looked at each other with different thoughts.
Shi Rui and the other two were thinking: Didn’t Xu Jingmo finish the entire linear algebra book a long time ago? Why did he suddenly say that he couldn’t keep up with the progress? ? ? The linear algebra teacher never called the roll, so skipping classes was okay. Also, who is the patient? ? ? During the few days he was in the dormitory, the three of them took turns to coax him and take care of him, including his meals and medicines, but he still complained that they were meddling in his affairs like an old mother. Du Ruo was so cold, but he still rushed to discuss things with her. Can he go in the evening? When have they ever heard him speak in such a gentle tone? ! ! ! Are they unworthy? ? ? ?
Ji Yunbai and Wen Fei were thinking: Oh my god!!! What a rare scene! How could someone speak to Xu Jingmo in such a tone! Xu Jingmo is always the only one who treats others so coldly!!! And Xu Jingmo actually laughed instead of getting angry??? Is there something wrong with him?
Although the five people were shocked in different ways, they were all curious about Xu Jingmo and their eyes were all on him.
They really wanted to know what kind of position Du Ruo held in Xu Jingmo's heart.
Xu Jingmo continued in a softer tone, "Are you angry? I'm not as good as you. I can learn without attending classes. If you can feel sorry for me and take time to help me with my lessons, I think I can get full marks in the final exam even if I skip classes."
!!! ...
Do you still know that you are a cool guy! ! ! !
Who is this weak and frail person in front of me? ! ! ! !
Before the five of them could finish being surprised, they heard Du Ruo nod and agree naturally: "Okay, I have nothing to do on vacation anyway. If you want to learn anything else, I can teach you."
?????
Shi Rui couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Sister, what major are you studying?"
The biomedical engineering they studied is a very difficult major.
Biology, medicine, engineering, mathematics, physics... There are many subjects to learn. Even someone like Xu Jingmo, who was the top student in the last semester, needs to attend classes seriously, prepare for classes, review lessons, and spend time in the library after class.
They are all college students, so why does she speak so nonchalantly, as if it’s okay for her to tell Xu Jingmo that she doesn’t know anything? Is there nothing she doesn’t know?
Du Ruo replied: "I studied physics."
MIT's Department of Physics is recognized as the best in the world.
Shi Rui bowed and said, "Sorry to bother you."
I knew you were awesome, but I didn’t expect you to be this awesome.
He was presumptuous, this is a real big shot.
Xu Jingmo was waiting for her to say this. He slightly bent his lip, his voice full of joy. "Then I won't go this afternoon. With you here, I have nothing to fear."
Du Ruo ate his meal quietly without making any comment.
Five people looked at each other with contempt.
