Chapter 31.
It was dark, and the bedside lamp in the room emitted a soft light. Only two slight breathing sounds could be heard in the quiet room. Although Qian Yirong couldn't sleep, she still closed her eyes. After all, Xu Baiqing was looking at her eagerly.
But even with her eyes closed, the gazes falling on her made Qian Yirong feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, her body, which was already hot due to the cold, seemed to be even hotter. Feeling the hot air rolling in the quilt, Qian Yirong couldn't help but want to lift it a little to let some cool air in.
But just as she lifted the quilt a little, she felt something pressing down on her. Qian Yirong subconsciously opened her eyes and saw Xu Baiqing leaning over and putting his hands on the quilt on both sides of her, pushing the quilt that she had lifted slightly down completely.
"You..." Qian Yirong's already red face turned even redder.
"Rongrong, you can't do that," Xu Baiqing said, her tone as if she were coaxing a child. "You're sick, you can't lift the quilt."
Qian Yirong tilted her head. The scent of Xu Baiqing's body, mixed with the same scent of shower gel as hers, filled her nostrils as she breathed. After all, this was Qian Yirong's residence in the school, so all the supplies were what Qian Yirong liked.
This smell that she liked was mixed with Xu Baiqing's own fragrance, forming a scent that made Qian Yirong's heart beat faster involuntarily. Qian Yirong's body unconsciously stiffened, and she couldn't help but avoid Xu Baiqing's gaze.
At first Xu Baiqing just wanted to stop Qian Yirong from lifting the quilt, but after Qian Yirong avoided her gaze, she realized how ambiguous the posture of the two of them was.
She placed her hands on both sides of Qian Yirong, and was very close to her, almost exchanging breaths. Perhaps because of her illness, Qian Yirong looked weaker than ever before, completely different from how strong she had been in front of her before.
Xu Baiqing couldn't help but feel a little itchy in her heart, and then she raised the corners of her mouth into a somewhat evil smile. Although she noticed that Qian Yirong was a little flustered, Xu Baiqing moved closer to her.
Qian Yirong felt Xu Baiqing's breath getting closer and closer, and even felt that if she got any closer, their lips would touch. She didn't know if it was because of her illness that made her a little fragile. She had just made up her mind to keep a distance from Xu Baiqing, but at this moment, she didn't want to interrupt Xu Baiqing's actions. Qian Yirong closed her eyes with trembling long eyelashes.
However, there was no soft touch on her lips, but something pressed against her forehead. Qian Yirong opened her eyes slightly, and what was close to her was Xu Baiqing's deep pupils.
"It seems like the fever has subsided a little." Xu Baiqing stepped back and said with a chuckle. It turned out that she had just touched Qian Yirong's forehead with her own to check the temperature of her forehead.
Qian Yirong breathed a sigh of relief after Xu Baiqing left, but she didn't know whether she felt more relieved or regretful in her heart. Qian Yirong couldn't help but pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
After the test just now, Xu Baiqing couldn't help but feel excited. Maybe things were much better than she thought. She thought she was just being too enthusiastic, but it was obvious that Qian Yirong also felt a little different towards her.
Just now, when Qian Yirong closed her eyes as if letting her take whatever she wanted, Xu Baiqing was undoubtedly moved. She wanted to kiss those soft lips that looked so delicious, and exchange breaths with Qian Yirong, but she couldn't do that now.
Although Xu Baiqing didn't mind taking advantage of someone's misfortune, for Qian Yirong, she wanted to let more intimate things happen naturally after they had a mutual understanding, rather than being distracted and infatuated with her because Qian Yirong was sick.
After all, Xu Baiqing couldn't be sure whether Qian Yirong would be willing to be with her after she kissed her, or would keep her distance from her. She could still distinguish between momentary pleasure and long-lasting love.
So Xu Baiqing simply collected a little interest and restrained herself from doing so. However, she had taken note of all of this and would naturally take back all of the principal and interest in the future.
Qian Yirong had no idea what Xu Baiqing was thinking. Perhaps because she had spent too much energy facing Xu Baiqing, or perhaps because the sleeping pills in the antipyretic took effect, Qian Yirong gradually fell asleep again.
After noticing Qian Yirong's breathing gradually becoming even, Xu Baiqing tucked the quilt for her and couldn't help but gently brush away the loose hair on her forehead. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Xu Baiqing's mood also completely calmed down.
On the other side, Qu Xueer, who left because she didn't want to be a light bulb, saw Mu Zexuan waiting at the intersection. Thinking of how nervous he was towards Xu Baiqing, she had some guesses in her mind. However, based on what she knew, it was just that King Xiang had the intention but the goddess had no intention.
Qu Xueer sighed that Mu Zexuan's first affection ended in vain. After all, the gender was not right. And based on her superficial understanding of Xu Baiqing, she knew that she was not someone who would change easily. Since she had someone she liked, she would definitely use all means to get what she wanted, just like her.
Qu Xueer's eyes flashed. Some of Xu Baiqing's words just now still made her have some ideas. If she could be like Mu Zexuan, even if she liked Changxian, others would only think it was a romantic affair. If she could be like her father, even if she married Changxian, others would only praise them for being a perfect match.
So why can't she be in power? If she wants to get everything she wants, of course she has to stand high enough and have enough power. Qu Xueer has ambitions and she is no longer willing to stay in her current position.
"Brother Zexuan, why are you here?" Qu Xueer asked. Even if she had a lot on her mind, she hid it all at this moment.
"I saw you called the school doctor. Did something happen?" Mu Zexuan asked a little uncomfortably.
"It's not a big deal," Qu Xueer said with a look of understanding in her eyes, "Sister Rongrong has a cold, so I asked the school doctor to come and take a look."
"Is that so..." Mu Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. After all, compared to Qian Yirong and Qu Xueer who looked very healthy, Xu Baiqing, who was pale and thin, looked more likely to be sick.
"I didn't expect Brother Zexuan to care about us so much..." Qu Xueer said in a long voice with a meaningful tone.
"Who..." Mu Zexuan wanted to refute almost immediately after hearing this, but under Qu Xueer's interested gaze, he changed his words and said, "We are all classmates. It's normal to care about each other, right?"
"Yes, yes, whatever Brother Zexuan says is true, then it is true." Qu Xueer clearly didn't believe it, but did not expose Mu Zexuan's words.
"Why are you the only one out? Isn't she fine?" Mu Zexuan couldn't help but ask when he didn't see Xu Baiqing.
"Sister Rongrong is sick, so Sister Bai Qing should stay and take care of her. You have already taken leave, and it's dark now." Qu Xueer said as a matter of course.
After all, even if Xu Baiqing didn't like Qian Yirong, she would stay and take care of Qian Yirong in this situation. Not to mention that Xu Baiqing already had some intentions towards Qian Yirong, so at this time he should stay with Qian Yirong to cultivate feelings.
Mu Zexuan lowered his head in disappointment when he heard this. He had separated from Xu Baiqing and the others in the morning, washed and changed clothes as quickly as possible, and then came here to wait for a rest.
As a result, he didn't wait for Xu Baiqing, but saw the school doctor rushing over. He was very worried. Later, due to various hesitations, he didn't go there directly to ask. Although he got the answer from Qu Xueer now, it was not what he expected.
"Brother Zexuan, you should go back and rest. The bloodshot in your eyes is really scary. If you don't rest well, you might get sick." Qu Xueer said with concern.
"Okay, then I'll go back and rest." Mu Zexuan sighed. Knowing that he couldn't wait for Xu Baiqing, he had to go back.
Qu Xueer watched Mu Zexuan leave, and soon a few familiar people followed him. Qu Xueer saw her brother Qu Qingyu waving at her, and she waved back, wondering if she could talk to her brother.
After all, based on her understanding of her brother, he actually likes painting more than becoming the heir to the group. If he were not the legitimate son and the apparent first heir, he would be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of all the illegitimate children.
Even his father was hostile to him, and it became a situation where if he didn't fight, the end result would be terrible. His brother must want to paint freely, so there would be something to talk about. After all, his brother was really good to her, and if possible, she didn't want to become enemies with his brother.
At this time, Mu Zexuan originally wanted to go back to his residence on campus to rest, but he didn't expect that a few bad friends suddenly appeared and grabbed him. Looking at the playful smiles on Shen Tianxing and Qu Qingyu's faces, Mu Zexuan's face darkened.
"Why are you here?" Mu Zexuan asked.
"We were originally planning to look for you, but who knew we would see you rushing here. Shouldn't we come and see what's going on?" Shen Tianxing said with a smile.
"You guys..." Mu Zexuan couldn't help but feel a little exasperated.
"Okay, I know you care about your classmates. How about that classmate Xu, does he know about it?" Qu Qingyu said jokingly.
"...I didn't see anyone." Mu Zexuan replied depressedly.
"Okay, I know you have no experience, how about letting Qingyu teach you a few moves?" Shen Tianxing said.
Mu Zexuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Qu Qingyu with expectations in his eyes that he himself was not aware of. After all, compared with the others, Qu Qingyu, who had a bad reputation, should be better at this.
"Ah?" Qu Qingyu's smile froze. He didn't know how to chase girls. He acted like a playboy just to paralyze his enemies. But he couldn't say it out loud, so he pretended to be confident and said, "No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee that Zexuan will get what he wants."
Several people were talking and laughing, and did not notice that Li Jingyan was too quiet. He followed behind them silently, watching them discuss how to help Mu Zexuan chase people, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings and it was difficult to calm down.
