Chapter 78 You go first, I'll be right there
Before Shi Nianzhi could take a step forward, a sudden force slammed him against the wall.
His head hit the glass with a loud bang.
"hiss----"
Shi Nianzhi covered his forehead and turned around. When he saw the person who came, his eyes were filled with fear. He subconsciously tried to back away but found that there was glass behind him. With nowhere to retreat, Shi Nianzhi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The next second, his clothes were lifted up, revealing his slender waist.
What are you doing?
Shi Nianzhi was terrified and tried to pull her clothes down, but she couldn't overcome the other person's strength.
The other person turned him around, staring at the red mole on Shi Nianzhi's lower back, their eyes revealing neither shock nor coldness.
Soon, the obese middle-aged woman released Shi Nianzhi, who took a step back and quickly left.
Shi Nianzhi leaned against the glass, still feeling a bit shaken. He didn't know who the other person was, only that the person was ugly, with knife marks and burns on their face, and was wearing clothes similar to those of a cleaner.
At this moment, the male doctor walked over to Shi Nianzhi and said fiercely, "Who told you to come here? Come with me."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Shi Nianzhi seemed to be born with a fear of both teachers and doctors.
He followed the doctor and didn't dare to look back even once.
The male doctor escorted him to Lu Jiunian's ward and then left.
Shi Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She wondered who the patient lying on the 9th floor was. His hands had delicate skin, so he must be quite young.
As Shi Nianzhi was about to push the door open, she glanced up at the ward door.
The lights are on.
"You're awake?"
Shi Nianzhi pushed open the door, asking with a hint of concern.
A suited assistant stood beside the hospital bed. Lu Jiunian leaned against the bed and, upon hearing this, lifted his eyelids to glance at Shi Nianzhi.
The words were chillingly cold: "Where did you go?"
"I went out to get something to eat."
Shi Nianzhi answered truthfully.
Lu Jiunian's thin lips curled slightly, and he chuckled sarcastically, "You still have the appetite to eat?"
"I... I wasn't really in the mood. The doctor told me to get some sleep, but I was so hungry and cold, so I went out and ate a bowl of noodles."
Shi Nianzhi puffed out her cheeks and said, "I was very worried about you. I ran there and ran back."
He wanted to get back before he woke up, but unexpectedly...
When Lu Jiunian saw Shi Nianzhi, she was still wearing slippers, and her pajamas were indeed quite thin. It was a cool autumn night.
Lu Jiunian glanced at his assistant without making a sound, and the assistant immediately understood.
He took off his suit jacket and handed it to Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi waved her hand, "No need, I'm full now and not cold."
Without saying a word, the assistant draped the clothes over Shi Nianzhi's shoulders.
"Thanks."
Shi Nianzhi glanced at his very refined and cultured assistant, and gave him a sweet smile.
Lu Jiunian suddenly spoke up, "Shi Nianzhi!"
"ah?"
I'm thirsty.
"But the doctor said you can't eat for another 24 hours."
"come over."
"Um?"
Shi Nianzhi walked over to Lu Jiunian, who had just stood in front of the hospital bed.
The man used his hand, which was free of the needle, to grab Shi Nianzhi's ear tightly and pull it upwards forcefully.
Ouch!
Shi Nianzhi winked painfully and automatically began to apologize, "I won't pick mushrooms randomly anymore. Admittedly, I meant well. If you're really upset, I'll go back and have a bowl of mushroom soup with you, to keep you company in your pain. Please, please don't pull my ear, it hurts—"
The assistant chuckled to himself, then tactfully left, closing the door behind him.
"It's good that it hurts; pain teaches you a lesson. Where were your eyes looking just now?"
Shi Nianzhi covered his ears, trying to salvage the situation. He said in confusion, "My eyes... I didn't look at anything I shouldn't have."
"Think about it carefully."
"It hurts, I'll cry if you keep pinching me."
"Cry louder."
Despite saying that, Lu Jiunian still let go.
Shi Nianzhi rubbed her ears, pouted, and looked a little aggrieved.
Do you know where you got this suit from?
"My assistant gave it to me."
“It’s not your assistant who’s giving it to you, it’s me who’s having my assistant give it to you. Shi Nianzhi, Aunt Zhang, Su Hengyi, Jiang Kai, all the kindness they’ve shown you, everything you have, is because of me. If you leave me, you’ll have nothing left, you’ll go back to your poor mountain village to farm and raise pigs, and you’ll never see a way out. If you get sick, tens of thousands of yuan in medical bills could kill you.”
Lu Jiunian looked at Shi Nianzhi calmly for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "You tell me, isn't that right?"
Shi Nianzhi was actually quite confused about what Lu Jiunian was saying to him.
After a while, he said, "Although I don't know what you're trying to say, I will definitely not be the one to betray you in this relationship."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Lu Jiunian's eyes, which had made Shi Nianzhi tremble with fear, slowly closed, as if he were about to fall asleep.
Shi Nianzhi saw the companion bed next to the hospital bed and went over to sit down.
He looked at Lu Jiunian's cold profile and asked, "You're not blaming me for the mushroom incident?"
No rush.
"Um?"
“I told you last time, if you mess things up again, I’ll tie you up.”
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Why did his not-so-bright brain suddenly understand Lu Jiunian's meaning in that instant?
Shi Nianzhi lay on the cot, silent for a moment before asking, "The 9th floor of this hospital..."
He had barely begun when Lu Jiunian, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes filled with a chilling light.
"You went up?"
A voice that suddenly turned cold.
"I accidentally went up in the elevator, and a doctor brought me down."
Lu Jiunian then closed his eyes again, but with his back to Shi Nianzhi, he said, "Don't wander around in the hospital. If you see something you shouldn't, it will scare you."
It sounded like a caring remark, but the tone was so cold and hard.
Shi Nianzhi didn't think much of it and nodded. "Hospitals are quite scary, especially the morgue. I've heard my classmates tell me suspense stories about them, and they're really frightening. Don't worry, I won't wander around like that anymore."
Lu Jiunian didn't speak again, as if he had fallen asleep.
Shi Nianzhi's mind wandered, and he remembered that strange middle-aged woman from before. He frowned and quickly shook his head to shake off that unpleasant memory.
After thinking about school, Shi Nianzhi realized that the school was full of troubles for him, a poor student, and shook his head again.
Finally, thinking of him herding cattle in the fields, I felt at peace, smiled slightly, and fell asleep.
School.
Shi Nianzhi originally wanted to ask for leave, but Lu Jiunian made him go to school, saying that he should learn more knowledge and develop his brain.
Shi Nianzhi then came to school dejectedly with his schoolbag on his back.
He could sense the icy tension between Su Hengyi and Mu Guangcheng. Even when Mu Guangcheng and Su Hengyi were having a cold war, he would still sneak over to Shi Nianzhi's desk to talk.
This time, however, he didn't come at all, and even had to use the back door to enter the classroom.
If anything happened, he would sit in the last row and call out, "Shi Nianzhi, come here!"
At these times, Su Hengyi would glance at Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi stood up and walked towards Mu Guangcheng.
"Boss, what are your orders this time?"
"I have a bit of diarrhea. Do you have any tissues? Can I borrow a couple?"
“I’ve run out of my bag, but Brother Yi has one, I’ll get it for you.”
Mu Guangcheng immediately became serious, "No need!"
Seeing Mu Guangcheng clutching his stomach and looking like he was having a hard time, Shi Nianzhi said, "Boss, I'll go borrow some from Brother Yi and give it to you secretly. Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, so let's take care of it first."
"Need not!"
Mu Guangcheng seemed to be getting impatient, as if he was holding back his anger.
He asked a few more of his buddies and found that none of these carefree bastards had the habit of carrying tissues.
Mu Guangcheng retorted angrily, "Do you all wipe with your hands after using the toilet?"
The brothers were quite nonchalant, and one of them joked, "Brother Mu, if something like this really happens, just tear up a couple of sheets of homework paper, right? Men don't need to be so fussy."
He speaks without restraint.
Mu Guangcheng swung a book and threw it at him, yelling, "Are you even human?"
The person took Mu Guangcheng's book with a grin and continued doing their homework.
Mu Guangcheng had a sudden idea. "Go buy me a pack. Go to the convenience store. I'll go to the restroom and wait for you."
"Boss, you're so smart!"
Shi Nianzhi almost wanted to give it a thumbs up.
Mu Guangcheng quickly ran to the toilet.
Shi Nianzhi returned to his seat, took out his meal card, and put it in his pocket.
Shi Nianzhi bought a pack of tissues for one yuan and went back to the teaching building to deliver the tissues to Mu Guangcheng, otherwise he would be getting impatient.
Just as I stepped out of the stairwell, Old Wang caught me right in the face.
"I was just looking for you. Where have you been? Come to my office. The monthly exam is coming up soon, and I need to have a serious talk with you about your grades."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Old Wang grabbed Shi Nianzhi by the collar. "What's wrong? You look so reluctant?"
No, no.
Shi Nianzhi glanced in the direction of the toilet. He had struggled, but he was inherently afraid of teachers and didn't dare to utter a word in front of them.
This time, she didn't say "wait a minute" out loud. Instead, she clutched the pack of tissues in her pocket tightly as Old Wang grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into the office.
"sit."
Old Wang asked Shi Nianzhi to sit down. "I've seen your file. You used to study at the Hope School in Dashan Village, right? That should be a poor mountainous area."
"Actually, it's not too bad, we're not very poor..."
Shi Nianzhi sat upright in the chair, just like a primary school student listening to a lesson.
Old Wang nodded. "I've seen your grades, they're very..."
Old Wang pointed at the computer screen and said, "It's a disaster."
"Yes, yes..."
Thinking about it makes me feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles.
"But you're very diligent, the kind of diligence I rarely see among students with poor grades. You filled every single one of your assignments. Although, well, they were all wrong. Your essays were completely nonsensical... well, you could still write 800 words even if they were off-topic."
But Old Wang, unhurried and unhurried, seemed intent on having a long, heart-to-heart talk with Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. Mu Guangcheng was waiting for the tissues he brought, was he really going to have to use his hands?
