Chen Yu opened her eyes groggily. Her first reaction was to smell disinfectant, a smell that only hospitals have.
"Where is this..." Her voice startled her, it was so dry it felt like it was about to burst into flames.
When Chen Kang and Li Ziyun saw that Chen Yu had woken up, they excitedly stood up and pressed the call button, "Nurse! Doctor! My daughter is awake!"
The nurse came over, glanced at the scene, and then went to call the doctor.
Chen Yu lay in bed and was examined by the doctor.
"It's nothing serious. You can stay in the hospital for observation for another day, and you can go home if there are no problems."
The doctor's words thrilled Chen Yu's parents, who kept expressing their gratitude.
Shen Yan walked in carrying the food. "Uncle and Aunt, I've brought the food."
"Hey, Shen Yan, you've really worked hard, coming all the way to work."
"It's alright, it's my fault for not taking good care of my sister and letting her get bullied..."
Shen Yan glanced at Chen Yu with some self-reproach; he should have gone out to find Chen Yu sooner.
That day, as he watched Chen Yu leave, he had long harbored thoughts of taking revenge on her, but when he actually saw Liu Zhihang bullying her, he still couldn't bear to watch.
When Chen Yu threw the ashtray at Liu Zhihang, Shen Yan finally panicked.
The moment she fainted, Shen Yan rushed in.
Chen Yu looked at Shen Yan's stubble-covered chin and the dark circles under his eyes.
Ma Qi came out from behind him and said, "Uncle and Aunt, let Yu Yu rest well at home this time."
"Yes, thank you, Xiaoqi, for keeping Shen Yan company and helping him with everything."
Li Ziyun looked even more haggard, clearly having not slept well for several days.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. We're family now."
Chen Kang and Li Ziyun thanked Ma Qi again.
Shen Yan took one last look at Chen Yu before leaving with Ma Qi.
Chen Yu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, feeling a pang of sadness. Had all her efforts failed to change the plot?
"Yu Yu, is there anything you want to eat?"
Li Ziyun tenderly patted Chen Yu's head; her hair had turned quite a bit white from worry these past few days.
"Mom, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been 3 days."
Chen Yu was stunned. Had she only been unconscious for three days? Could it be that everything she had done was just a dream?
For a moment, she stared blankly ahead. Chen Kang and Li Ziyun looked at her with some concern and shook her shoulders.
"I'm fine, Mom and Dad, I want to rest for a bit."
"Okay, okay, take a rest."
Chen Kang pulled up the curtains, giving Chen Yu enough private space. She lay on her side on the bed, and the image of Ma Qi hiding behind Shen Yan and holding his hand flashed through her mind again.
She felt incredibly bitter.
It turns out it was all just a dream.
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, wake up and get up to drink some medicine."
The deep, stern voice rang out again. Chen Yu opened his eyes, staring blankly at Shen Yan, who was holding water and medicine in his hands.
Chen Yu was completely baffled as to what was going on and why he had returned.
She sat up with a headache, took the cup from Shen Yan's hand, tilted her head back, and swallowed the medicine.
Wang Yue and Jiang Yang pushed open the door and walked in.
"What's wrong? Why does she have a fever?"
Wang Yue sat by Chen Yu's bedside, looking at her with some concern.
"I don't know, I must have caught a chill last night."
"It's nothing, your fever means you're going to grow taller."
Jiang Yang heard this from somewhere, but it did comfort Chen Yu. For a long time, Chen Yu met someone she liked, but the man was almost 190cm tall and looked down on Chen Yu's height of 158cm, which made her feel inferior for a long time.
"Everyone, go out and let her get some rest."
Shen Yan stood up and started to shoo people away. Wang Yue and Jiang Yang pouted. They had only exchanged a few words when Shen Yan started to shoo them away. Chen Yu grabbed Shen Yan's clothes and said, "I want to learn too."
"You should rest more. I'll teach you when you feel better tonight."
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, her grip on the hem of her clothes tightening and loosening. She was too afraid to sleep now, fearing she would return to five years later.
"I've had enough sleep, I can't sleep anymore."
Seeing Chen Yu's determined eyes, Shen Yan agreed, but only allowed her to observe and not participate in solving the problems.
Chen Yu nodded and followed Shen Yan downstairs.
Today, Shen Yan was going over the math lessons he taught on Wednesday and Friday, and Chen Yu almost fell asleep while listening to him.
She sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the stern face.
The image of Shen Yan and Ma Qi standing together, so close and intimate, flashed through my mind again.
Shen Yan felt a passionate gaze. He looked up and saw Chen Yu, who was looking at him with a somewhat sad expression.
He was somewhat surprised and walked up to Chen Yu. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Hmm? Nothing, I was just spacing out for a bit."
Chen Yu was startled by Shen Yan; when had he come to his side?
night.
After finishing her meal, Chen Yu took her medicine again.
"Are you really not going to take leave, Yu Yu? Can your body handle it?"
"I can do it, Mom. I took a nap this afternoon and I feel almost better."
Li Ziyun looked at Chen Yu with some concern. Why was this child so good at putting on a brave face now? Before, she would take two days off for even the slightest illness or pain, but now she refuses to take a fever.
Chen Yu nodded, telling Li Ziyun not to worry too much; it was just a common fever.
Shen Yan handed the thermometer to Chen Yu.
I took my temperature again, and the fever had subsided, but my nose was still a little stuffy.
It should be almost completely healed by tomorrow.
The pleasant weekend has come to an end.
When Chen Yu arrived in the classroom, the test paper was already on the table, and her weekly test results were quite satisfactory.
However, he still managed to score around 630 points, which shows that he performed steadily.
She glanced at Chen Yan's score of 720, which was almost a perfect score.
Chen Yu was somewhat anxious. She was far inferior to Shen Yan. If Shen Yan were to have an exceptional performance, wouldn't he get a perfect score?
I only reached this level because I performed normally.
For the first time, Chen Yu directly experienced that the gap between people was truly incomparable.
"What's wrong? You look so worried."
When Wang Yue passed by Chen Yu, she saw her expression and decided to go up and ask her.
"It's okay, I didn't do very well on the exam."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue looked down at her score and was almost petrified. 634 points—this was a score she could only dream of achieving.
"You really are..."
Wang Yue sighed and left Chen Yu's seat, just as Lao Wang walked in.
"Everyone, go back to your seats."
Old Wang started talking about some precautions and encouraging words again, but Chen Yu wasn't listening. She kept looking through her wrong questions, which were all types of questions she knew, but she still got them wrong in the actual exam.
Shen Yan took Chen Yu's test paper, glanced at it, and immediately knew where Chen Yu had gone wrong.
