The next day.
Shi's mother wanted Shi Xi to rest at home for a day, but Shi Xi felt that she was neither injured nor frightened, so she didn't need to rest at all.
Shi Xi was a good student who loved learning, so she went to school anyway.
I discussed it with my mother this morning, and we decided that I would go to Di Chenxiao's house to study after school. My mother hesitated for a while, but then agreed.
Shi's mother said, "My child has grown up and has his own ideas. As his mother, I can only support his decisions. Xiao Chen's abilities and knowledge are top-notch. I feel at ease letting Xiao Xi study with him."
The most influential person in the Shi family agreed, and Shi Xi chose to ignore the opinions of others.
Yesterday, Shi Xi, Han Yan, and Di Shi skipped class for no apparent reason. When Teacher Liu Li called their homes, their parents only said that there were some things at home that required them to come back.
The parents all agreed to let them skip class, and Teacher Liu Li didn't say anything.
Zhou Jin took a long leave of absence due to illness. As his homeroom teacher, Ms. Liu Li was very worried and planned to visit Zhou Jin in the hospital.
Zhou Jin is still in the hospital, and Qin Xue is also at the hospital with him.
After school, Shi Xi, Han Yan, Di Shi, and teacher Liu Li went to the hospital to visit Zhou Jin.

Hospital.
Qin Xue carefully fed Zhou Jin the porridge: "Ah...is it not too hot?"
Zhou Jin said shyly, "It's not hot."
"Whoosh—", Qin Xue blew on the porridge a few times to make sure it wasn't too hot, then fed it to Zhou Jin. "Open your mouth, yes, be careful, ah..."
"Brother Qin, I can eat by myself, you..."
"Can you eat by yourself? Look at your hands, look at all the bandages on your body. This is the first time I've served someone, and you're complaining?"
"No, no, no, I don't mind at all. I'm just... just... a little embarrassed... that you're taking care of me."
"Your injuries were for my sake. If you hadn't helped me escape for several hours, I would have been sold by them long ago. And I wouldn't have been brought back unharmed by the fairy. I'm happy to serve you!"
Zhou Jin raised his right hand, placed it on Qin Xue's leg, patted it twice, and said, "I... did it voluntarily."
Qin Xue couldn't hold back her tears and cried out in guilt, "I'm so... I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm the one who hurt you. You big... big idiot... If something happened to you, I would... I would feel guilty... for the rest of my life."
Zhou Jin awkwardly raised his hand to wipe Qin Xue's tears, and said in a panic, "Brother Qin, don't cry, don't cry. I'm a boy, I'm tough, a little injury won't hurt me... it's okay, don't cry, I... I... feel sorry for you."
Zhou Jin whispered the last two words, as if only he could hear them.
Now is not the time to confess. Wait until he recovers and until Qin Ge develops romantic feelings for him before confessing.
Zhou Jin continued wiping away Qin Xue's tears; his eyes were slightly red.
Shi Xi heard Qin Ge crying loudly outside the ward and thought something had happened to Zhou Jin, so she hurriedly opened the ward door.
"Brother Qin, what happened to Zhou Jin?"
Qin Xue's crying stopped abruptly.
Gaa gaa gaa—
Shi Xi could imagine a flock of crows flying overhead.
Han Yan, carrying fruit in one hand and flowers in the other, said, "Zhou Jin, you've turned into a mummy!"
Zhou Jin's exposed arms and slinged legs were covered in white bandages, making him look like a mummy.
Teacher Liu Li: "Zhou Jin, you're badly injured! Yesterday your parents said it was just a minor injury, I didn't expect..."
Zhou Jin: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Liu. These bandages make my injuries look more serious, but actually, they are all minor injuries and will heal quickly."
These words were spoken not only to Teacher Liu Li, but also to Qin Xue.
He didn't want Qin Xue to blame herself, nor did he want to see Qin Xue cry.
