I will always be with you
"Will you always stay with me?"
The voice gradually became clearer, sounding more like a sigh than a question.
Low and melancholy, like a lilac soaked by rain.
Xi Zhou looked carefully and found that it was Lu Lanting and Yan Ning sitting next to her, talking to her.
She said without hesitation: "Of course, we are destined to be together for a long time."
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Did you two get scared just now?"
Yan Ning raised his head, unable to hold back the tears, and had to let them flow down. He put his arms around her and said, "Don't say anything. We already know."
Xi Zhou was confused.
What did you know? What did you know? How could I not know? Why are you crying like this?
It's like he's mourning for her!
"Alright, alright," Xi Zhou jokingly tried to comfort them, "Is it possible that I'll die right now? Why are you crying?"
Lu Lanting had been trying hard to hold back her tears, but now she burst into tears.
Looks very pitiful.
Xi Zhou was helpless and tried to soothe them by saying, "Why are you crying? I'm fine."
Xi Zhou couldn't persuade him.
When Lu Lanting calmed down, she finally looked at her with an almost pleading look, her eyes mixed with more complicated emotions, and she said softly, "If you can get through this, you must come to us."
Xi Zhou thought that this "difficulty" referred to the leakage of spiritual energy, and felt even more confused: it sounded as if she was planning to push others away and rush forward to sacrifice herself.
How is that possible? They must be here together as exchange students, and they must be going home together after finishing their studies!
She wanted to retort.
She felt a headache and started crying.
"……rather"
"……pavilion"
Her mouth opened and tears welled up in her eyes.
"And everyone..."
"Don't cry."
"Why is Xi Zhou crying?"
Xi Zhou was dazed. He raised his hand and wiped his face, his hands were wet.
She herself didn't know why she was crying.
After carefully distinguishing the voice of the person next to him, he called softly, "Yan Ning."
She was stunned when the sound came out. It was hoarse and rough, and it didn't sound like her own voice at all.
"Are you awake?"
"How does it feel?"
Yan Ning touched her burning forehead with the back of his hand, and the fever had not subsided yet.
Seeing her frown, Xi Zhou wanted to comfort her, and his chaotic mind began to speak nonsense, "Does my voice now sound like a magnetic bubble sound?"
"oi, woman, you have my attention."
"Just be quiet if you're sick." Yan Ning scolded with a smile.
Seeing how eloquent she was, he felt relieved. "The doctor said you're fine, but your spiritual energy is a bit overdrawn. Rest for two days, and then we'll go receive the award together."
"Jinghong got a set of rare prophecy spells, and Hua Shaoqing and the other four are waiting for you to collect the first place reward together."
"Well... where are they now?" Xi Zhou looked around and found the room empty, so he asked.
"It's the middle of the night!" Yan Ning laughed, "If I hadn't heard you crying in the room, I wouldn't have woken up to see you."
This made Xi Zhou feel very embarrassed, as he had woken up others in the middle of the night.
"Then go to bed and I'll continue sleeping too."
"have a good rest."
Xi Zhou used to be unable to sleep whenever he was sick. The highest fever he had was 39.8℃ during the second mock exam in his senior year of high school.
At that time, I couldn't get out of bed for three consecutive days. During those three days, I successfully fell asleep 11 times, and slept a total of 7 hours.
Unexpectedly, this time it was quite good. I slept very well and was not woken up the whole night.
She just had a lot of fragmented dreams, which caused her head to still be groggy when she woke up the next day, as if someone had put her in a sack and beat her up while she was sleeping.
"Ah... I should be..."
Xi Zhou glanced at the time. It was already past seven in the morning, and classes would officially start at eight. This morning's class was Jing Yu's spiritual arts class, and the teacher never liked being late.
Yin Zian hadn't been paying much attention to his meditation class, so he slept through it. That morning, he overslept again and had to stand through the entire morning class.
I haven’t had breakfast yet. If I don’t eat, I won’t be able to move during class.
He slowly put on his clothes and was about to go out, but was stopped by Hua Shaoqing who had turned back.
"Have you... decided?"
"What are you doing?"
Xi Zhou looked up blankly, and then realized that there was a sentence from her dream, which for some reason was ringing in her ears.
"Get ready and go to class." Xi Zhou organized his thoughts and replied.
Hua Shaoqing was speechless. He quickly pushed her back to bed and placed a steamed bun on the bedside table. "Go and rest. I've booked you a day off. Don't worry."
"Leave, when did I ask for leave?"
Xi Zhou was confused for a moment, probably because of the habit he had developed since childhood of insisting on attending classes even when he had a fever.
"Lunch and dinner will be brought to you. Don't worry about going to the cafeteria to eat, and don't even think about making it yourself."
After Hua Shaoqing finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Xi Zhou blinked, thinking dully: That means I'm asking for leave. So should I eat now, or should I rest?
Never mind, I'm not hungry. Since I don't have to go to class, I might as well go back to sleep.
Xi Zhou closed his eyes comfortably.
.
Xi Zhou opened his eyes comfortably.
Something feels very wrong.
She looked around. This seemed to be the teachers' office? Was she sleeping on the sofa next to the office?
Is she dreaming?
Xi Zhou pinched himself in confusion. Hmm, it hurts.
No, she thought, her dreams seemed to also contain feelings of pain, so this didn't prove anything.
While I was thinking, the bell rang and nine classmates crowded into the office.
Heshun, a sports enthusiast, ran in the front. He rushed to Xizhou and said excitedly, "Awesome, Xizhou! I burned down your entire dormitory building!"
Xi Zhou:?
She didn't understand what her classmates were saying at all. She thought she was dreaming, all sorts of nonsense could come out.
It wasn't until she saw that the place was reduced to ashes that she became more convinced that she was dreaming.
Are you kidding me? She was sleeping soundly, how could she go crazy and set fire to the building for no reason?
Um……
It doesn't seem completely impossible.
Xi Zhou reflected on it and felt that the surroundings were incredibly delicate. The doctor pulled her over for a physical examination, and the bitter medicine was extremely unpalatable.
Everything is real.
The doctor also told her that her spiritual power was out of control in the morning and it would be best for her to use less spiritual power in the next two days, so he did not use healing magic but gave her stabilizing medicine instead.
By evening, the dormitory building had been renovated and looked exactly as it did before the damage. Two days later, Xi Zhou's fever had subsided, and his spirits had improved. The whole dormitory fire thing seemed like a dream.
But someone reminded her that everything was reality.
As soon as she entered the office to hand in her homework, the teachers all wanted to watch the fun, and their eyes became physical and glued to her.
Some teachers with bad intentions would even go out of their way to tease her.
"Oh, it's a whole building. How am I supposed to compensate for it then?" Jingyu held his chin and looked at Xizhou, pretending to be distressed.
Xi Zhou really believed the teacher's lies and stood there with his eyes wide open.
How much money do these international students have? Their living expenses are all subsidized by the school.
How can I even afford to pay for this? The prize money from the Nine Schools League is not enough to mortgage a building like this, right?
Xi Zhou was trembling with fear.
"teacher……"
"And the teacher also put in a lot of effort to save you." Jingyu continued while bending the fingers of his left hand, and rubbed his temples.
Actually, the statement that it took a lot of effort was not wrong. Not only was Xi Zhou ill the past two days, but Jing Yu also looked pale after rescuing someone, and the class was taught by teachers from other classes.
Only today did I have the energy to act like a teacher and go around entertaining my students.
Xi Zhou was immediately filled with guilt and could not stand still.
Jingyu clearly came here specifically to see her like this. After a long pause, she said cheerfully, "Class representative, why don't you quickly pour me a glass of water and give me a back massage or something to pay me back for what I owe you?"
Teacher Yaru, who was standing next to Jingyu, immediately rolled her eyes at him, probably because she couldn't stand Jingyu's behavior. "I just recovered from a serious illness, and you're already ordering me around. Aren't you ashamed?"
Jingyu wasn't too upset and slowly defended herself: "I'm the teacher and she's the student. Is pouring me a glass of water considered an order? This is about respecting teachers."
Even as he spoke, he did not forget to drag the students into the water, "Xi Zhou, don't you think so?"
Xi Zhou was startled and nodded quickly, going to pour some water, but was stopped by Teacher Zhenlin, who said, "Your teacher was just joking, don't take it seriously. Put down your homework and go back to class."
Jingyu found it amusing, "Xi Zhou is truly your dear student. It seems as if I'm not the only one who's not a good teacher."
After saying that, Jingyu finally had enough of teasing everyone and became a little more serious. "Go to class. Tomorrow, Saturday, I'll take you to receive the award. Also, the maze kid we found earlier invited you to his house this Sunday. It's a bit out of the way, so I'll take you there."
He thought for a moment, worried that the child might feel overwhelmed, so he added, "Don't worry, your problem can be solved with a restoration technique. It won't take much effort. I was just joking."
"Let's go to class."
Xi Zhou was very obedient. When he was about to leave the office, he turned around and bowed seriously.
"Thank you, teacher."
The office was filled with good-natured smiles.
"Hurry up and go to class."
Fu Linyuan found out about this farce within a few minutes. He was quite dissatisfied and complained in the classroom.
"Why are the teachers all so friendly when you're in the office? But when I'm there, they all have gloomy faces? Why?!"
Heshun scoffed, "Before asking why, shouldn't you first ask yourself if you deserve it? You're the only one in our class who doesn't do your homework every day. If I were the teacher, I wouldn't be happy either."
"Hey~ Don't talk nonsense." Jingyu appeared from nowhere again and patted Fu Linyuan's shoulder. "Xiao Fu, the teachers are also very welcome to come to the office."
He said meaningfully, "Beating is love, scolding is care!"
Heshun thought: No, there are times when I love someone so deeply that I kick him with my feet.
