In the school clinic.
The sky outside the window was getting dark, as if a storm was coming.
The room was very dim, and the air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant and the damp smell of rain.
It doesn't smell very nice.
If you smell it for a long time, you will feel dizzy.
There was wind blowing in through the gaps in the window, and it sounded like a whimpering sound.
It seems a bit out of place in a quiet environment.
Cong Nian glanced at the sky, which was like a drop of thick ink falling into clear water and dispersing into a ball of ink.
She walked to the window and closed it, which was not closed tightly.
You can see the playground outside the window, and groups of students walking downstairs.
The expressions on their faces varied, some looked solemn, while others looked relieved.
About half an hour ago, the bell rang to signal the end of the Chinese language exam, and now the students are heading to the cafeteria for lunch.
She ate less breakfast because of the stress caused by the midterm exam and was already starving.
He Sui went to the cafeteria to buy food for her and He He.
The school doctor went to the office opposite and said that she had something to ask and asked to knock on the door to call her.
In the huge school clinic, there were only her and Yu Xinghe.
The other beds were empty.
Just at this moment, a few drops of water fell on the windowsill.
Cong Nian stared at it for a while.
It's raining.
The cement floor turned from light gray to dark gray, and the students ran past quickly, leaving behind white silhouettes.
She turned back to the bed.
Yu Xinghe was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed and his face as pale as paper.
Her bright red lips were now dry and chapped without a trace of blood.
The thin and frail body sank into the single hospital bed, as quiet as a painting that would shatter at the slightest touch.
There was an IV drip in her right hand.
Cong Nian brought a small chair and sat beside the bed, staying by her side all the time.
This was the first time she felt that the indestructible He He was actually very fragile.
She held Yu Xinghe's other hand, which was not injected, and stroked the thin calluses on her fingers.
This was left over from when she was practicing the violin.
It is darker than the mark left when holding the pen in the right hand.
She looked at the girl's sleeping face. The dark circles under her eyes were very dark. She must have not slept well for several days.
Yu Xinghe woke up after arriving at the school clinic, but before he could say a word, he fell into a deep sleep again.
Cong Nian knew what she wanted to say.
She probably meant to say that she had to rush back to take an exam or something like that.
It’s incredible to say, this is the first time Cong Nian and Yu Xinghe skipped the exam.
It’s still a very important midterm exam.
When taking He He out of the classroom, the invigilator seemed very angry and said that he would find the grade director and the principal to deal with the matter.
They will probably be called to the office for criticism after they return, right?
I still remember the last time my parents were called in. Director Zhao was so fierce in the office...
She was a little scared.
But she didn't regret bringing He He out.
They are friends, sharing happiness and hardships.
I just don’t know if He He’s parents will blame her.
This is what Cong Nian is most worried about.
The IV drip gradually ran out, and she hurriedly turned around to find the school doctor to remove the needle.
The school doctor is a great beauty.
She is also a beautiful woman with many charms.
The cold and beautiful type.
It seems that he knows their class teacher Chen Yanke.
After not seeing each other for a while, Cong Nian's impression of her has hardly changed.
It's hard to look away once you take one look.
The long wavy hair was cut short, just past the ears, changing from charming to capable.
Those beautiful eyes were very sharp, as if they could tell where she was feeling unwell just by looking at her.
I don't know if all doctors are like this...
"You're so thin, but your physical condition is quite good. The fever went away so quickly."
Pulling out the thermometer clipped to her armpit, the school doctor raised an eyebrow and glanced at the girl on the bed.
There was an imperceptible surprise in his eyes.
"School doctor sister..."
Cong Nian watched her pull out the needle and then tried to hold the needle hole herself. He looked up at her and asked, "When will He He wake up?"
Didn’t you just say that you will wake up after the injection?
The school doctor raised an eyebrow, bent down closer to her, and smiled with his lips curled.
"Little sister, your friend probably hasn't slept well these past few days, right?"
Little...little sister? !
Cong Nian was surprised by her address and nodded a little slowly.
So, the next second, the school doctor seemed like a different person.
He narrowed his eyes, pinched her face hard, then stood up and packed his things.
"That's fine, she'll wake up when she's had enough sleep."
Cong Nian: "..."
It seems... that's indeed the case...
She was speechless.
Then all we can do is... continue to wait.
The school doctor went out again.
I don’t know how long the rain outside the window has been falling. The water marks on the glass window are a bit like a meteor shower, winding to the bottom.
Cong Nian didn't wait for He Sui who went to buy food, but waited for another person first.
She subconsciously stood up from the chair and stood in front of Yu Xinghe.
"Teacher Chen."
When Cong Nian saw Chen Yanke walk into the school clinic, the uneasy premonition in her heart seemed to come true.
Did Teacher Chen already know that they didn’t take the midterm exam?
Chen Yanke nodded.
He raised a finger to his lips, indicating that she didn't need to say hello, and then tiptoed to the bed.
"Is she feeling any better?"
Chen Yanke raised her hand and placed it on Yu Xinghe's forehead. Her tone was very soft and no special emotion could be heard.
It doesn't look like he's here to call for punishment.
Cong Nian thought of the time when her parents were called in.
The way Chen Yanke defended her and openly confronted Director Zhao in the office...
Really handsome.
Thinking of this, I felt unexpectedly relieved.
Will Teacher Chen help them?
"I just had the injection, and my fever has gone down. I should be able to wake up later."
Cong Nian lowered his voice, his expression sincere, "Teacher Chen, we..."
How could she explain this impulsive behavior?
