Chapter Ninety-Seven

  Yucai woke up almost at eleven o'clock. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qishu Fan and couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile. "Qishu Fan——"

  Qishu gently touched her brow and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

  As soon as he said that, Yu Cai immediately remembered, her face turned pale, and she covered her mouth with her hand, "Qi Shu Fan, I saw..."

  Qishu Fan interrupted her and told Yuxuan's story, Yu Xuan was stunned for a while, and it took half a day for her extremely happy heart to finally calm down. She forced out a self-mocking smile, "Really useless".

  Qishu Fan smiled and twisted her face, "Still a high-achieving student, not embarrassed at all".

  Yu Cai felt truly embarrassed now and closed her eyes, pretending she hadn't heard anything.

  "Are you hungry?"

  "It's okay."

  "I'll go help you buy some food."

  Qī shì zhī zhàn le qǐlai，"wǒ qù".

  Translation:

  The station of prayer stood up, "I'm going".

  Qishu nodded with a smile, "Alright, buy Xiaocai some congee and milk, and get two more portions of lunch."

  Yu Cai was a bit dizzy from the fall, but it wasn't serious. She just had a big bruise on her head and a shiny bump. After eating something, she felt a bit better and asked to go back home. Qi Shu Fan agreed, but as soon as they entered the house, they found Xia Yun Yun was still there. Yu Cai felt a bit awkward when she saw Xia Yun Yun, so she just greeted her and said she was tired and went upstairs to rest.

  Ji Shu knew that his son wouldn't be patient enough to explain things to Xia Yunyun, so he simply told her what had happened. Xia Mei was furious, and thought that this child was indeed unfortunate. After listening to Song Zhiyuan's words, she felt that they were correct - she had never explicitly said that she liked Ji Shu, not even to her own mother, let alone to others or in public. Having finally mustered up the courage to confess, she was thwarted by Yu Cao's misunderstanding, and from Ji Shu's attitude that morning, it was clear that he would blame her for everything again. She felt more wronged than Dou E!

  Things have come to this point, Xia Dou'e naturally didn't dare to speak again, said a few insincere apologies, and left with great grievance.

  The real culprit, after hearing about the misunderstanding a long time later, laughed so hard that it made all the flowers lose their color. He described in vivid detail how he had stirred up trouble between them back then. Jian Xun sighed helplessly beside him, "Yu Cai didn't provoke you, Xia Yunyun didn't provoke you either, why did you go out of your way to stir up trouble between them?"

  "Three reasons," the culprit said seriously, "Firstly, Cheng Yu is closer to Yu Qian than me, secondly, Xia Yunyun is younger and prettier than me, thirdly, I enjoy watching women scheme against each other."

  Jian Xun felt even more helpless, "I think the last one is probably the most fundamental reason."

  The chief culprit raised an eyebrow and winked, "Don't you think it's very interesting?"

  "Alright, it's quite interesting."

  At this time, the unlucky Yu Cai and the wronged Xia Yunyun did not realize the crucial role that the evil-minded Zhang Xiao played in it. Xia Yunyun returned home in distress and sadness, while Yu Cai slept for a whole morning but still felt tired, so she went back to her room to continue sleeping. After sending Xia Yunyun away, Qi Shu Fan entered Yu Cai's room to take a look and found that Yu Cai was sleeping soundly with a long-legged rabbit of the same size as her in her arms, so he left for work at ease.

  At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to have dinner. Jiexi found that there was no movement in Yucifu's room. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go and wake her up, fearing that the sedative effect of the pill she took in the morning had not worn off yet, and sleeping like this would not do.

  Yucai classmate has always been very honest when sleeping, and now still maintains the posture of Qi Shu Fan walking, but the rabbit in her arms is miserable, being pinched and squeezed by her owner, suffering greatly. Qi Shi looks at her holding the rabbit and seems a bit dazed, starting to think that his contempt for Qi Shu Fan's behavior that day may have been wrong, Yucai's usual mature and stable performance is also a girl, and girls, no matter how old they are, should like these things, right?

  Regarding girls' preferences, Ji Xi didn't think much about it and walked to Yu Cai's bed in less than half a minute, calling out "Yu Cai". When Yu Cai didn't respond, Ji Xi raised his voice and called again. Still no response. Ji Xi had to bend down to pull her sleeve, but as he did, he heard Yu Cai's heavy breathing. Instinctively, he reached out to touch her forehead, then immediately withdrew his hand due to the heat. He touched her forehead again, then rushed downstairs, "Auntie, Yu Cai has a fever, you go take a look at her, I'll go find a doctor".

  So, there's no such thing as the most unlucky, only more unlucky. Yu Cai, who was already quite unlucky, bumped his head hard and then got pricked by a needle again. When Ji Shu Fan entered the house, he heard Auntie say that Yu Cai had a fever. He rushed upstairs and just happened to hear Yu Cai complaining, "A Shi, you're so unprofessional! If you pull out the needle like this, my hand will definitely turn green for ten days."

  Qishu slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, "Did you get burned?"

  Yu Cai felt embarrassed and nodded silently.

  Qī Shū Fán said, touching her forehead, "It seems I need to change the sofa set. It's too comfortable and not good for you guys. You always use the sofa as a bed and forget to cover up with blankets."

  Yu Cai said with a smile, "Now it's hot, and also not cold."

  "It wasn't catching a chill last night, so why would I have a fever?"

  "It's just a fever—" Yu Cai bit her tongue, okay, that was even more embarrassing.

  "Want to eat something? I'll ask Auntie to make it."

  "I've just eaten, it's late, you all go to sleep, I'll lie down for a while."

  On the third night, when Qibushen went to Yucai's room to see her, he found that there were three more bouquets of flowers on Yucai's bedside. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who sent them?"

  "One bouquet was brought by Song Zhiyuan with Xia Yunyun, one was sent by He Qi, and another was sent by Shi Chengyu."

  "How did Shi Chengyu know you were sick?"

  "I don't know, maybe it's what he said to him."

  After Zhang Xiao successfully stirred up trouble that day, he waited to see the results, so on this day, he asked He Qiuyue and Xia Yunyun how they were doing, with the intention of listening to their glorious stories of fighting three hundred rounds. Unexpectedly, he heard that Qiu Yue had fallen ill, and immediately told his cousin Jian Xun, who of course immediately passed on the news to Shi Chengyu, so as to give him another chance to get close to her. As a result, Shi Chengyu appeared again to visit Qiu Yue while she was sick.

  Of course, these twists and turns are unknown, and the smile at the moment has a few points of pride, "I didn't expect that I, Yucan, would also become someone who gets visited when they're sick!"

  Qī shū fán shī xiào, zuò dào tā shēn biān, "tóu hái téng bù téng le?"

  Translation:

  Qi Shu Fan smiled and sat down beside her, "Does your head still hurt?"

  "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's been three days, I'm all better now."

  "If you can't sleep at night in the future, come find me or Shi Ze to chat, don't go downstairs alone and get lost in thought, have you learned your lesson this time?"

  Yu Cai spat out her tongue, "I think it's mainly Xia Yunyun's fault. Who doesn't sleep at midnight and walks around in front of someone else's door, still wearing a white skirt?"

  Qishu frowned, "Yu Yu is getting more and more unreasonable, this matter was originally her fault, I saw that she was angry with you that day".

  "Never mind, women in love, especially those in unrequited love, we should tolerate her with a broad heart." Okay, Yu Xiao Jie actually has the same problem as someone else.

  Qishu Fan laughed and said, "As expected, our Xiaocai is indeed broad-minded."

  Yu Cai rolled her eyes and asked Qi Shu, who was staring at his computer on his knees, "What are you doing?"

  "Watching a movie."

  "What movie?"

  "Want to take a look at what just came out?"

  "Alright, it's still early."

  Is it enough to be considered happy if one has a warm smile and sparkling eyes?
