He looked exactly like a little wife whose innocence had been tarnished.
Ning Yi was stunned. “Uh… I just wanted to see if the swelling was serious…”
You make it look like I purposely took advantage of you… I surrender.
Lu Xu Nan’s ears heated up. He lowered his head, buttoning his shirt.
The school doctor jiejie couldn’t help laughing lightly. She turned back, glancing at her boyfriend. She gave the prescription she finished writing to Ning Yi, waving her hand at the two of them. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, then don’t take up my temporary sickbed. Go to the observation room next door, if you don’t feel abnormal after eating and resting for half an hour, you can go back to the classroom after getting medicine.”
They were taking up other people’s break time. Ning Yi and Lu Xu Nan naturally hurriedly moved to another place.
After Lu Xu Nan recovered from the rubbing, his movement was a lot more agile than before. Contrarily, Ning Yi was still rather weak, her limbs still didn’t have much strength.
Seeing her face was still pale, Lu Xu Nan opened another bottle of liquid glucose for her, ordered her to rest on the bed, and set the overbed table and the lunchboxes by himself.
Why is Dog Lu suddenly being so nice to me? Because I just blacked out? But last time at the hospital, he wasn’t so considerate ah…
Ning Yi was puzzled over this question. Lu Xu Nan himself was also unable to understand.
That’s right, why was he like this? Running around all afternoon for Ning Yiyi, hurrying to the east and hurrying to the west.
Could it be that he feels like I fainted because of him? So he feels guilty inside?
Right! It was precisely this reason!
Lu Xu Nan thought that Ning Yi had found the reason and everything immediately became clear.
He took the chopsticks that he’d just broken apart and knocked it on the other person’s bowl, sternly saying: “What are you blindly stirring for? Hurry up and eat, I’ve wasted a whole afternoon here with you. Ning Yiyi, trouble you to remember your own body’s situation a little. Remember to eat candy all the time, don’t faint all the time. It’s really wasting time.”
Tsk, as expected. I just said why would he suddenly change, but…
Ning Yi raised her head and solemnly spoke, “At the stairs there, really thank you very much. I didn’t even know you got hurt so seriously…”
“What serious? Fang Ci, that guy, just likes to exaggerate.” Lu Xu Nan cut her off, nonchalantly saying, “This still doesn’t beat a beating from Lu Yingbei.”
Ning Yi twitched her lips.
Aiyo, I don’t know who it was breaking out in cold sweat in the clinic just now.
Lu Xu Nan ground his teeth and ridiculed her, “You look bad to begin with, what weird expression are you making. Hurry up and eat, don’t get low blood pressure from starving, and touch porcelain1 with me again.”
Duan Beilei was browsing on her phone, gossiping with Yan Ziyun. “Ziyun, are Ning Yi and Lu Xu Nan really together?”
Yan Ziyun’s hand that was turning the page paused. She raised her head and coldly glanced at her. “What nonsense are you saying?”
“Nothing ah, isn’t this what everyone on the school forum is guessing! You’re close with Ning Yi, so I thought to confirm with you.” Duan Beilei turned the phone to face her. “Here, in the afternoon, someone got a picture of Ning Yi and Lu Xu Nan holding hands by the basketball court.”
Yan Ziyun looked at the picture on Duan Beilei’s screen. Although it was a little fuzzy, Ning Yi and Lu Xu Nan could indeed be recognized.
In the picture, Ning Yi was walking in front, pulling Lu Xu Nan’s hand forward. It wasn’t concealed at all.
She stared at the hands of the two people held together, only after hearing for about half a minute did she withdraw her gaze. She continued to read her book and indifferently said, “It looks like Yiyi is forcefully dragging Nan gege.”
Duan Beilei immediately nodded afterward and disdainfully said, “That’s true, Ning Yi shamelessly hanging onto Lu Xu Nan isn’t something that’s been for one or two days…”
Yan Ziyun gripped the corner of the page, she didn’t turn the page for a long time. A long while later, there was the light sound of tearing.
It was her finger fiercely ripping the paper…
Lu Xu Nan and Ning Yi entered the classroom from the front and back door separately. Fang Ci had long been waiting on the wooden chair. Seeing him come in, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, “How is it, Brother Nan? Brother is great, right? Was Ning Yi super touched after hearing what I said? After you two went to the infirmary, where did you go to relax and enjoy yourselves?”
It was better if he hadn’t mentioned it. Once Lu Xu Nan heard him bring it up, he immediately remembered that it was precisely because Fang Ci insisted that his injury was serious that Ning Yi urgently dragged him, under the blazing sun, to run to the infirmary and in the end, fainted.
He randomly picked up a book. Slapping Fang Ci’s back, he said, “Relax and enjoy your ass. Ning Yiyi fainted at the infirmary. It took a whole afternoon to recover.”
Fang Ci: “Ah? What’s this?”
Lu Xu Nan said, “Her health was bad to begin with, she’s always had low blood sugar. It’s so hot today, she hadn’t eaten and was running around. Her blood sugar was too low, so she fainted.”
After listening, Fang Ci clicked his tongue. “Fortunately nothing happened.”
“Lu Xu Nan.” Ning Yi ran over from the front. She placed the bag with the medicine on his desk, and reminded him, “The medicine for circulation and bruising, I forgot to give it to you. When you go back, you also have to remember to take it at night ah! Don’t forget!”
Lu Xu Nan waved his hand. “I know, so troublesome.”
Fang Ci saw him pick up the bag and stuff it in his desk. It seemed like something was blocking the way. He pulled out a sky blue gift bag from inside. After a brief thought, he pulled out his school bag and stuffed both the gift bag and the bag of medicine in it.
Fang Ci recalled that the present was given by Mu Wanqing this morning.
He turned his head and looked at Ning Yi’s back, suddenly feeling disturbed. He thought about it, then opened his mouth to advise, “That, Brother Nan ah… Socrates once said: a foot on both boats, there will be a day when the boat overturns in the end. Even though we are young, strong, and healthy, and we can still swim to shore if we fall in the water. But there’s no need for that, right? Actually, Ning Yi is really quite good. She’s good looking and cute, revolving around you every day with ‘Nan gege this, Nan gege that’. She clearly knew her health wasn’t good, and still looked for you everywhere under the strong sun to take you to the infirmary. After fainting, she’s still concerned about you taking medicine, you…”
“Wait.” Lu Xu Nan listened to his chattering, his action of stuffing things into his schoolbag couldn’t help but pause. He asked, “Just now, when Ning Yi brought the medicine, what did she call me?”
Fang Ci didn’t know why he suddenly asked this question, nor did he pay attention to what address Ning Yi used. He very naturally replied: “Nan gege bei2. Doesn’t she always call you that?”
However, Lu Xu Nan’s brows furrowed and his tone was rather displeased, “No, what she called me was Lu Xu Nan.”
The author has something to say:
Little Lu: Yiyi isn’t calling me gege anymore!?
