Chapter 17 Yes, he is injured. Updated at midnight on the 7th. This person...
At this moment no one noticed that they were not together.
But the person who spoke dared to speak, and the person who listened listened and took it to heart.
Yu Han did not try to stop him from saying these blunt and ambiguous words that made her a little uncomfortable. She just remained silent for a moment and mumbled "hmm".
That voice was so sweet and cute that Qin Yi was reluctant to leave.
But her flight was actually ready to board.
Qin Yi reminded, "It's time to leave. The announcement is coming. Your boarding gate is very far away. Leave early and walk slowly. Don't rush."
Yu Han herself didn't even notice that she was pulled back from the comfortable intimate chat when she heard the words. She stood up in a hurry, holding her small schoolbag and mineral water, and went out with a few vaguely visible first-class passengers, walking in the same direction towards the distant boarding gate.
"Do you know how far my boarding gate is?" she asked the person on the phone on the way.
Qin Yi had passed through that boarding gate many times to fly to Singapore. He and his cousin spent almost every winter and summer vacation in Singapore. Compared to her, who only moved there in the past two years, he was actually more like an overseas Chinese.
But at this moment, he couldn't tell the truth and could only explain, "Well, I went there once for a layover and have some impression of it."
"Yeah, they should just build this boarding gate to the east coast of Singapore. My home is on the east coast."
“…” He lowered his head and laughed.
"It's okay, I'll accompany you and walk slowly," he said.
The call was not ended until she started to walk into the jet bridge. The boy gently reminded her to be careful when she was alone, to ask the flight attendant for help if she couldn't open the water bottle on the plane, to be careful not to catch a cold, and asked her if she had asked anyone to pick her up at the airport.
The caring advice did not stop until the flight attendant's words "Welcome aboard, your seat is in the first row on the right" reached his ears.
The phone was hung up with him saying "Bye, Hanhan". Yu Han's heart skipped a beat and she stood in front of her seat looking at her phone for a long time without coming back to her senses.
"Hello, may I help you?" The flight attendant noticed her unusual behavior and walked into her small compartment, asking, "Would you like to put your bag in the luggage compartment? I'll help you and get you a cup of tea or juice, okay?"
Yu Han came back to her senses, sighed lightly, put away her phone, and shook her head: "No need, nothing." She sat down, casually stuffed her schoolbag into the shelf in the corner, and closed her eyes.
The stewardess didn't leave. She took up a blanket on one side, unrolled it, and put it on her. "I noticed your hair seems wet. Cover it up to avoid catching a cold. I'll get a new one to dry your hair."
Yu Han immediately opened her eyes and thanked him gently: "My hair is almost dry, no need to bother."
I covered myself with the blanket, feeling even more depressed.
It would be great if she could make a phone call on the plane. The network was so poor and it was difficult to access the internet. The flight to Singapore took five and a half hours, and being disconnected for such a long time was almost killing her.
Yu Han covered her face with a blanket in pain and whimpered twice.
"Hello, are you feeling unwell?" The flight attendant came back again, half-knelt in front of her and asked with concern.
Yu Han pulled down the blanket and said awkwardly, "No, no. Sorry."
The beautiful stewardess smiled at her: "It's okay. Are you alone?"
"Um."
"Are you really not feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No...it's just that I can't bear to leave..." She murmured softly, feeling a little embarrassed for always bothering others.
"You can't bear to leave," she suddenly realized, "you can't bear to leave your family and friends who sent you to the airport, right?"
Yu Han lowered her head pitifully and nodded her chin.
The flight attendant comforted her gently and asked her to lie down and have a good sleep.
She walked for a while and brought a cup of tea, saying it was a calming tea. She told Yu Han to drink it and take a nap. When she woke up, she would probably be in Singapore and could see her family and friends there.
…
Qin Yi hung up the phone and sent her a message on Instagram: "Give me the address of your school."
She probably didn't check her phone right away, or she might have turned it on airplane mode.
Qin Yi stood up and found a chair to sit down and sleep.
It was just that he couldn't sleep in a strange place, so he simply listened to the song and closed his eyes to relax. The female singer's voice had a hint of sweetness, and she inexplicably resembled that little princess.
Fortunately, she didn't recognize his voice.
An hour later, after the song had looped fifteen times, the alarm went off. Qin Yi slowly stood up and leisurely strolled to the airport.
A few minutes later, a smattering of passengers began to emerge from the jet bridge. A woman wearing a black mask and hat stood out from the crowd. She walked straight toward him, pushing a 20-inch carry-on suitcase.
"I told you not to come if the weather is bad, but you still came." As he approached, he whispered helplessly, "How are you going to go to class tomorrow if you catch a cold? You're not listening."
"Who is so weak that they can catch a cold just by being blown by the wind? Besides, tomorrow is Sunday."
“…” His sister scolded him again.
Qin Yi took the suitcase without saying a word.
The girl put her arm around his shoulders, but eventually realized that he was quite tall and it was a little inconvenient to put her arm around him, so she quietly withdrew her hand and held his arm instead.
"What time did you arrive?"
"I didn't come on time. I dropped off a friend earlier."
"Really? What friends? Why would any of them take a plane at this time? Don't they have classes?"
"International students."
"Ohhh. Did you eat it then?"
“The food at the airport is terrible.”
His sister laughed and tilted her head to look at him: "You've worked hard, come home and eat. Grandma should be cooking. Today's plane food is not good. Let's go home and eat together."
"Um."
"By the way." Qin Yi suddenly turned his head to look at the tightly wrapped female celebrity beside him, "Do you have that new magazine you just published?"
"What are you doing? Do you have classmates who want it?"
"Yeah. I can't buy it."
"I have it at home in Taipei City, but I didn't bring it with me."
"Have someone send it to you."
"Okay. Who is it? Do you have any new male classmates to chase after?" She teased, opening WeChat to send a message to her assistant as she walked.
Qin Yi did not answer the question, but just nodded casually.
…
Yu Han didn’t see the Instagram message until she got off the plane and returned home.
Thinking that she would have very few opportunities to return to China in the future, she could only obediently send him her address.
But the address was obviously not that of a school. Qin Yi knew very well that she was studying at Victoria Junior High School, but the address was a house number in the East Coast residential area.
It's her house...
The little princess was not on guard against him at all, unlike when he gave her his address and school name, and the recipient only left a surname.
On the eighth day after returning to Singapore, Yu Han received the express delivery.
He sent it via international express as an urgent document, and it should have arrived in three to five days, but he said he wanted to put more things in it if he waited two days, so it took a full eight days.
The items were delivered directly to her door.
Her parents were very curious about why there was a domestic express delivery. She casually said that it was sent by a classmate, and then ran back to her room with the big package to unpack it.
It was strange. He said he sent her some autographed photos of her idol and two latest magazines, but why was the box so thick and heavy?
It felt like the courier had made the wrong delivery, but the receipt on the form was indeed addressed to Yu Han.
She found a utility knife in the room and scratched it a few times.
He opened the carton and took out the square, solid off-white gift box.
She couldn't wait to open it, and what caught her eyes was the stunning photo of her idol.
"Wow," Yu Han was so excited that she was about to cry. She picked up the rolled-up poster, untied the rope and unfolded it, her eyes completely shining. "Who in the world is more beautiful than my idol? Wow, she is simply a beauty of the times."
After excitedly looking at all three posters one by one, Yu Han carefully rolled up her treasure, put it away, and went to look at the contents under the gift box.
"Magazines, magazines, magazines." The latest magazines were not available abroad. She had wanted to buy some when she returned home, but plans couldn't keep up with changes, and she came back in a hurry and finally forgot about it.
Four books in total.
"Wow, wow, wow, I love Jin Wei~!" Yu Han was so happy that she almost cried, "So beautiful, so beautiful, is this a human? She's like a fairy!"
After reading the magazine, look at the thick stack of autographed photos below.
“Oh my god…” She picked it up and counted them briefly. Twelve!!! Twelve!!! She almost fainted.
Who owns twelve autographed photos of his idol at once?
Looking at the things below, Yu Han's eyes widened and she almost fainted. A photo album...
How come she doesn’t know about this thing? When did her idol release a photo album?
Yu Han picked it up and flipped through the photos. They were all very early photos. The idol, who was so pure that it was almost dripping with water, was staring at you. She was about to lose control.
How come these photos are almost never seen on the Internet? She has only vaguely seen one or two of them.
What’s going on!
Yu Han curiously took out her phone and searched Google: "When will Jin Wei release a photo album?"
Google loaded a detailed answer, saying, "Since her debut, Jin Wei has only released one photo album. It was released during the Chinese New Year of 2012, her first year since her debut. It was a birthday gift for fans, as Jin Wei's birthday happened to fall during the Spring Festival. This photo album is now out of print and no longer available on the market."
"Oh my God, she really published it, and it's out of print. Qin Yi actually has such an out-of-print thing! He even gave it to her!" Yu Han was almost crying. Being a neighbor was so enviable.
Beneath the album are many small cards and postcards featuring her idol, all filled with beautiful photos! From the past to the present, stills from film productions, blockbusters, and even private photos, all kinds of beauty from every angle flooded her vision.
Just one look at it makes me feel happy.
Yu Han watched for half an hour before putting it down, feeling unsatisfied.
It’s not over yet. At the bottom there is a tightly wrapped black box with a ribbon tied around it.
She opened it with great effort, and what came into view was a... camera box with Jin Wei's photo still printed on it.
Yu Han took a deep breath and couldn't move her eyes.
This... this camera, she remembered it was...
Biting her lip, she immediately opened her phone again and searched for Jin Wei's studio official account on Weibo in disbelief.
Sure enough, it was the camera endorsement that was officially announced just a week ago.
Yu Han was completely stunned and forgot to blink.
He even gave her a camera that Jin Wei was the latest endorsement for. It was incredibly expensive! She had recently seen the endorsement and was thinking about buying a new camera. The old one had been used for a while and she wanted to switch brands. It would be perfect for her summer vacation trip in June.
Haven't placed an order yet! Still researching the model.
And this one, the model number is written on the box, it is the top-of-the-line and most expensive one of this brand.
How could Qin Yi give this to him? He doesn't have much money... He said before that he relies on competition prize money to travel, so he doesn't go out every holiday.
Yu Han held her breath, opened the camera box carefully, and took out the heavy object.
After studying the camera for a full hour, she finally decided to spread out everything on her bed, then took a photo with the camera and posted it on Instagram.
Caption: "I am the happiest person in the world~~!"
After posting it, I happily waited for the person who sent the gift to see the update and give her a like~
However, Qin hadn't seen it yet, Bao Tong saw it first.
After she liked the post, she quickly sent her a WeChat message: "You're done with school, Hanhan."
Yu Han replied: "I have an exam today so there are no classes this afternoon."
Bao Tong envied: "That's great. And what's your Instagram? Oh my god, did you win a gift from your idol??? How come there are so many Jin Wei autographs and posters???"
"Yes, a lot. A friend in China gave them to me." She didn't bother to tell him that her idol was her neighbor, but simply asked her generously, "Do you want to follow my idol? I'll give you an autographed photo."
"Wow, I don't have time to chase stars. I'm going to collapse. The study pressure in Lanzhong is really too great. I fell behind a lot in the last monthly exam. I have another exam in two days. I really want to die."
Yu Han hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, don't worry, you are only in the first year of high school, there is no need to rush."
"Alas, my parents comforted me the same way, but compared to others, I feel like I'm just trash. I really envy those born with top academic talent. Let me show you the top student + the most beautiful + the most beautiful girl in our school. The world of top academic talent is really comparable to an idol drama."
"Huh? Who?"
Then Bao Tong sent a video.
Yu Han casually clicked play. What was that? Let's see. Anyway, Qin Yi was probably in class right now, so he couldn't chat with her. It was really boring.
She felt that she could not only not give up her idol but also another person.
The poisoning was quite severe.
The video was shot from a high-rise building, showing a playground.
The plastic track is surrounded by green grass. Tall green plants outside the wall extend their branches into the wall, and many students are sitting below.
In the afternoon, the silky sunlight poured down from the clouds and landed on the colorful runway. Even through the screen, I could feel the spring scenery, birdsong and fragrance of flowers in March in China.
The playground was crowded with people in black and white school uniforms.
The video mainly captures a scene at the side of the runway. A young man is sitting on the stone steps, bent over with his elbows resting on his knees. The slightly long hair on his forehead glows with gold, as if he was born with brown hair. The hair falls on his brow bone and side face, making it impossible to see his facial features from a distance. One can only infer that it is a very good-looking face based on that small piece of side face.
Absolutely very good.
In front of the boy, a girl was half-kneeling on the grass. She was wearing a black and white school uniform and her waist-length hair was spread out behind her. Her hair was undulating in the sunlight, as if swaying with fragrance. Her fair skin on the side of her face vaguely showed her extremely high beauty and temperament, quiet and pure.
She held the boy's hand with one hand and wrapped it around his, and touched his forehead with the other hand.
On either side of the girl were two teachers, both squatting with their knees bent, their backs facing away, but it was obvious that they were looking at the bent-over boy with concern.
There were several boys wearing the same school uniform standing nearby and watching.
Bao Tong said: "It's a pity that he has his head down, so we can't see his face, but that doesn't stop him from being super, super handsome."
Yu Han was curious: "Who is this? What's wrong with him? Who is that girl? How could she be so close to him in front of the teacher?"
Bao Tong: "The boy is the top student in his freshman year, his name is Qin Yi. He's the guy who sent the love letter to you before. I told you about it, remember?"
Yu Han looked at the words that popped up, and her whole head suddenly started buzzing, as if a spring thunder had exploded in her heart.
Bao Tong's message came in again: "A classmate of ours told me about this scene on the playground, so I struggled to get out of the dormitory to see. It seemed like this boy was feeling unwell. The one next to him was the physical education teacher and the head teacher of their class. Our class also had physical education that day, but I didn't go because I had period cramps."
"Are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling better after resting?" Yu Han endured the abnormal pounding of her heart and asked about her health first.
Bao Tong said: "I'm fine, I'm fine. I took painkillers."
"good."
Yu Han opened the video again with a trembling hand and cautiously.
Is this person Qin Yi?
She subconsciously enlarged the video screen.
Unfortunately, Bao Tong said that she lived on the third floor, and the photos taken from the third floor were not clear enough. In addition, the playground in the video was very large, and several of them were at the edge of the playground. She had obviously taken the photo from a close distance, and zooming in would only make the picture look blurrier.
Even without zooming in, she could see his clear and complete figure... This was the first time Yu Han saw him clearly... as a person.
Really, Qin Yi appeared before her.
All the previous descriptions of his appearance by others, including my own vague memories of his good looks, seemed to be truly confirmed this time. He was really good-looking, even though it was only a small glimpse of his profile from a distance.
Even someone like Bao Tong, who is obsessed with looks, said that he is the most handsome man in the world.
But what's wrong with him? Is he not feeling well?
They talked on the phone last night and he was a very nice person. What happened today... Seeing all the teachers gathered around him, Yu Han felt very panicked.
She asked Bao Tong: "What did you say about the girl in front of him, 'campus beauty'?"
Bao Tong: "Hahaha, we named it privately. She is really very beautiful. She is currently the most beautiful person in the show. So enviable. So when I saw them together just now, my classmate took a picture and told me that it was super eye-catching, so I got up to take a look."
Yu Han didn't know why there was a girl with him and so close to him.
There can't be any ambiguity, right?
Speaking of ambiguity, the scene is really self-evident. The girl held his hand and touched his head and face. It was very, very intimate.
But she... subconsciously, didn't feel any worry.
She just casually asked Bao Tong tentatively: "So, are they a couple?"
Bao Tong said, "I'm not sure, but this girl is older than us. She's a sophomore in high school, and Qin Yi is a freshman. I've never thought about it that way."
Yu Han raised the corners of her mouth slightly and muttered to herself: That's even more impossible.
Bao Tong said: "But now that you put it that way, it's not true. It could also be a sister-brother relationship."
Yu Han: “…”
Bao Tong: "I'm going to ask my classmates what the relationship is between our school beauty and school hunk. Oh my god, they can't be a couple, right? I'm going to die, they're such a perfect match."
“…”
Yu Han did not stop it, but she did not feel any pain as if she had a heart attack. She waited calmly.
She couldn't believe that the boy who called her at a fixed time every night and sent her a box of idol merchandise today had such an open relationship with another girl at school, after he clearly told her that he would not "fall in love with someone else".
First of all, she believed in him, unconditionally; secondly, the perverted rules in their school were so numerous that if they really had that kind of relationship, it was impossible for that school beauty to hold his hand in front of two teachers.
Maybe it's his...sister?
Although Qin Yi never told her that he had family members or relatives in the school, Yu Han inexplicably had no doubts from beginning to end.
Just watching the scene in the video, she couldn't deny that she felt a little strange and uncomfortable in her heart... Such intimacy was something she would never have in her life.
Before leaving China for Singapore, she had imagined these moments... Now, seeing others being so intimate with him as if no one else was around, she turned around to look at the bed full of gifts and the expensive camera, and felt the bitterness in her heart spread even more unscrupulously.
It seemed like these were bought with distance, as if God knew that she would see this video today, so he sent her compensation and comfort in advance.
But what happened to him? Where did he feel uncomfortable?
Yu Han couldn't figure it out, so she could only scroll through Instagram aimlessly to relieve her anxiety.
Suddenly, when I exited Qin Yi’s account homepage, I saw several recommended accounts. One of them was named “zezeze”, and its avatar was a photo of two boys sitting in the playground.
Both of them looked very familiar, especially one of them, who was the boy who got the letter for her but lost it.
The person next to him was also someone I saw at school that day. They were caught skipping classes together.
Yu Han took a breath, happily clicked the follow button subconsciously, and then tried to send him a private message.
Yuerhan: "Hello, I'm Yu Han."
I didn't expect to get a reply two minutes later.
Zezeze: "Wow, little princess of Singapore, how did you know my account number? Hahaha."
Yuerhan: "Recommended on the homepage~ Your name is Chen Ze, right?"
Zezeze: "That's right." He also paid attention to her.
Yuerhan: "I want to ask you something."
Zezeze: "What's the matter? Is it Qin Yi's?"
Yuerhan: “Yes. Is he feeling unwell today?”
Zezeze: "How do you know? Besides calling you for half a day at night, he wouldn't call you during the day too, right? But you guys should be careful. Our head teacher said that anyone caught with a cell phone in class will be reported, no matter if they get first or second place. Damn it."
Yuerhan: “…” She asked sadly, “Then why did you bring your phone today? You shouldn’t have finished school yet, right?”
Zezeze: "I have PE class today. It's so boring that I took the risk and brought it. Qin Yi should have brought it too today, hahaha."
Yuerhan: "I just want to ask you, is he not feeling well today? I'm afraid he won't tell me." He didn't seem to deny it just now, but asked her how she knew.
Zezeze: “Yeah, he’s injured and has a fever again.”
Yu Han's expression suddenly turned extremely bad. Her eyes widened as she typed, "He's injured? And he has a fever?"
Zezeze: "Oh, it's hard to explain. Last night, one of our roommates had something happen at home, and he had to go home in the middle of the night. Qin Yi and I went with him. It rained heavily in Lan City last night, super heavy, and then the car we took had a pileup on the road."
Yu Han's pupils widened.
Zezeze: "Qin Yi's hand was hit because I bumped into him. He pulled me and the car door squeezed his hand. The car couldn't move, and the three of us walked in the rain for more than half an hour.
I'm so impressed! It's the 21st century now, and I never thought I'd have to endure this kind of hardship in my life."
Yu Han couldn't believe it: "You guys walked in the rain for half an hour."
Zezeze: "Yeah, it was freezing cold last night, just like winter. Han Zhou and I both caught a cold last night. Qin Yi is fine, he just started feeling unwell. Our school doctor said it was caused by inflammation from a hand injury, otherwise it wouldn't be that serious. He's always been very strong."
Yu Han pressed on, "He was injured last night, so why didn't he ask for leave to rest and still go to class today?"
Zezeze: "We didn't sleep last night."
Yuerhan: “…”
Zezeze: "Last night, after sending Han Zhou to the hospital to see his family, Qin Yi also bandaged his hand. Then we didn't sleep until dawn when we returned to school to change clothes. I almost froze to death. I didn't want to go to class, but I had an exam soon, tears in my eyes.jpg, so I didn't ask for leave."
Yuerhan: “So, Qin Yi also went to class.”
Zezeze: "Yes, it's even more impossible for him to ask for permission. He didn't even have a fever this morning. We were in physical education class, and he started feeling unwell after running a few laps. But how did you know? Did you come to our school again? Oh my god, is this true? You have to be careful not to run into our plague-like head teacher again. But he is said to be transferred next semester, so you can just hold on for a while and you'll be free."
Yuerhan: "Oh, really? That's great. Um, I didn't go... a classmate sent me a video of your school, and I accidentally noticed that Qin Yi seemed to be in it. He seemed unwell, so I had to ask you."
Zezeze: "Love you two so much."
Yuerhan: “…”
Yu Han also wanted to ask him, do you know what the relationship is between him and the girl who is with Qin Yi at the moment? But she felt that it would be ridiculous to ask after he said "true love".
She couldn't ask, and she didn't suspect anything anyway, so she decided to wait for Bao Tong to find out and come back to give her the information.
Before ending the chat, she asked Shen Ze what happened in their classmate's family and whether it was serious.
Shen Ze said that Han Zhou's family had a car accident last night but they were out of danger after a night and the problem was not serious.
After feeling relieved, Yu Han quit Instagram.
Singapore is 3,750 kilometers away from Lanzhou, and she can only peek at him through a secretly filmed video.
The video was played repeatedly, and the boy's figure in the wind and sunshine was the most eye-catching in the entire playground. The black and white school uniform on him did not look like a school uniform at all, but like a handsome sportswear.
However, his bent waist revealed a strong sense of discomfort and fatigue. The girl kneeling in front of him looked even more worried than she was watching the video at the moment. She held the boy's hand and squeezed it tightly.
One of the teachers beside him was on the phone, and the other was looking at him with a frown, full of worry.
He is like a favored child of heaven, surrounded by stars.
No one knew that the regret and worry in Yu Han's heart were like two forces fighting fiercely...making her exhausted.
So this is what long-distance relationships feel like.
She felt that she was the same age as Qin Yi but not as mature as him. He seemed to have been feeling the worry and heartache caused by not being able to be with her for a long time, but this was the first time she had such a feeling.
Rather than saying it’s the feeling of a long-distance relationship, it seems more like... a feeling of heartache.
