Chapter Thirty-Five: The Humble Gaze of Dog Tail Grass

  Shen Beiqiu heard the news and hastily put down his brush to follow the girl who had come with him, rushing back to the classroom. The classmates around him also followed suit, and even their class teacher, who was originally in the dormitory, hurriedly ran downstairs.

  Lin Xue Xiao didn't go out with them to take a break, when they went out she felt a bit uncomfortable, so she stayed in the classroom to rest, her deskmate Chen Yu Xiang accompanied her, it was that girl who came running to call people.

  As for why she only called out Shen Beiqiu's name, this question is quite intriguing...

  After sending Lin Xue Xiao to the school infirmary, Shen Bei Chuan retreated and glanced back at his classmates crowded at the door, a hint of unclear emotions flashing in his eyes.

  The doctor examined carefully and then looked at the crowd calmly, saying: "The patient's physical condition is poor, with low blood pressure. As the weather gets hotter, overthinking can easily lead to fainting. There's no big deal, usually need to strengthen exercise, also keep a good mental state, remember to let her not overwork."

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, "It's all right then."

  Lin Xue Xiao hasn't woken up yet, and the class teacher saw that there was no major problem, so he said: "Everyone doesn't need to surround here, go back, Xue Xiao also needs rest. Beiqiu, you and Yuxiang stay here to watch, if anything happens, call me.

  Shen Beiqiu could only nod his head.

  After everyone left, Chen Yuxiang's eyes rolled a few times and she said to Shen Beiqiu: "Shen Beiqiu, Xue Xiao should be hungry after waking up. She didn't eat much today because of her poor appetite. I'll go buy some takeout."

  Shen Beiqiu nodded slightly again.

  After a while, Lin Xue Xiao finally woke up with a start and found that she was still in the hospital, but only saw Shen Bei Qiu there. She couldn't help but feel some confusion and asked: "What happened to me?" As she spoke, she wanted to get up, but her head spun again, so she had to lower her head and raise her hand to support her forehead.

  Shen Beiqiu hastily went over to help her lie down, saying: "The doctor said you have a poor constitution and low blood pressure, so you need to rest more and not overexert yourself."

  Lin Xue Xiao frowned and said: "When did my physical condition become so bad?"

  Shen Beiqiu smiled and said, "Probably you've been studying hard all day, your body can't keep up."

  Lin Xue Xiao also "heh" smiled, and pretended to be angry staring at him, saying: "Shen Bei Qiu, are you indirectly saying that I'm a bookworm?"

  Shen Beiqiu innocently shrugged his shoulders and helplessly said: "If you insist on pinning this crime on me, I'm powerless to stop you."

  Lin Xue Xiao laughed "heh heh" and her mood was clearly very good, "No matter what, Shen Bei Chui, thank you for sending me here."

  "I'm just a errand boy, no work no pay. If you want to thank someone, go thank your deskmate, she's the real hero." But Shen Beiqiu didn't accept her thanks.

  Just then, the familiar footsteps of Chen Yuxiang sounded outside the door. Before long, she quietly poked her head in and took a look around, seeing that Lin Xue had woken up, she let out a sigh of relief, and walked in with a big smile on her face, handing over the food in her hand, saying: "Xue, you finally woke up, I was so scared just now. Are you hungry? Eat something."

  Lin Xue Xiao took over the food and movedly said: "Yu Xiang, thank you."

  Yu Xiang magnanimously waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? We're tablemates, we should be close and loving!"

  Shen Beiqiu saw that Lin Xue's complexion had improved, so he chimed in: "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. Lin Xue, you rest for a while, I won't disturb you here."

  Lin Xue Xiao wanted to speak but hesitated and finally just nodded silently.

  After Shen Beiqiu left, Chen Yuxiang pouted and said: "Although I know it's not right to leave you when you're unconscious, but I've tried my best to give you the opportunity. If you like someone, just tell them, what era is this? Being reserved is worthless."

  Lin Xue Xiao gave Chen Yu Xiang a distant and mysterious glance, saying: "You won't understand."

  "Yes, yes, I don't understand," Chen Yuxiang silently rolled her eyes, "Wait until someone else has already plucked the flowers, then you can go cry."

  "Do we still need to wait?" Lin Xue Xiao muttered to herself, letting out a deep sigh. In her mind, she couldn't help but think of the delicate four-leaf clover that Shen Bei Chui had found on the back hill. Who was it given to now?

  Su Yixin again made an excuse to go to the bathroom and slipped out of the venue unnoticed. As he walked out, he took a deep breath of fresh air and muttered to himself: "The dawn of freedom!"

  What an experience, what a communication, it's so depressing! Most importantly, is this really an exchange of experiences? Probably the whole scene only had him naively believing in the so-called exchange of experiences, and he even carefully prepared his speech. Look at those people talking, they're clearly just showing off their past achievements!

  She turned back to take a peek at the teachers in the auditorium, only to see them all listening with relish to those students' "rags-to-riches" stories, and couldn't help but feel a twinge of disgust. After a moment's thought, she headed towards that bamboo grove again.

  Stolen half a day of leisure, watching others write life is also good! Incidentally, I'll soak up some artistic atmosphere!

  There were obviously half as many people in the bamboo forest, with only a few scattered individuals remaining. Su Yixin looked around in confusion, had they all left just like that?

  Her gaze inadvertently swept across the empty canvas in front of her, standing alone with its owner nowhere to be found. Su Yixin thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that it was Shen Beiqiu's canvas, which only added to her confusion: where had Shen Beiqiu gone again?

  Just as I was in a state of confusion, someone suddenly called out from behind me, "Su Yixin? How did you get out? Is the exchange meeting over?"

  Su Yixin heard the sound and turned his head to take a look, if it wasn't Shen Beiqiu then who was it? He saw him walking towards him with an air of refinement and elegance that couldn't be concealed, what a refined young man! Su Yixin sighed in admiration, what a great choice for a sister-in-law!

  Just as Su Yi Xing was indulging in his wild imagination, Shen Bei Chuan had already walked up to him and seeing that he was staring at himself absent-mindedly, couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled, and asked out loud: "Is there something on my face?"

  Su Yixin snapped back to reality, awkwardly chuckled twice and said: "I was just thinking where you went, only to see the painting board but not the person."

  "Just now a classmate fainted and was sent to the school infirmary, she's fine now."

  "Oh, I see," Su Yi said thoughtfully, but still changed the subject. "The gathering would be too boring if I just spoke and left. I'd rather come out and watch you guys paint, and get a whiff of that literary atmosphere. I'll go back and brag to Su Yisuo about it later. You don't mind, do you?"

  Shen Beiqiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's there to brag about?"

  Su Yi Xing raised an eyebrow, "I have my own reasons."

  Shen Beiqiu had no choice but to let him go.

  Su Yixin was clueless about painting, and she majored in science, so all day long she was in contact with rigid formulas. She didn't understand how to appreciate this elegant art, it was just too boring, so she would find some ways to kill time. After looking for a while, she exclaimed that she had no artistic cells, and she went to sit down somewhere to enjoy the view by herself.

  Under his feet was a patch of grass, and after sitting for a while, Su Yixin felt that his ankle was itchy, so he lowered his head to take a look, and found a dogtail grass swaying wantonly under his feet.

  Su Yixin pulled it out without thinking and put it in front of her to ponder, saying: "This dogtail grass is really annoying, growing everywhere."

  Shen Beiqiu heard this and turned his head to look at him, smiling: "Dogtail grass also has its own beauty, especially when it grows in large quantities, the scenery is great."

  Su Yixin sighed, "All I can say is that an artist's vision is always unique. Anything can be a work of art. To us, it's just a very ordinary little blade of grass."

  Shen Beiqiu shook his head and smiled, no longer responding.

  "Maybe Su Yi Soo would say it's beautiful." Su Yi Shin added.

  At this, a glimmer of light flashed in Shen Beiqiu's eyes once more, but he merely said indifferently, "Perhaps there is some language of flowers too."

  "Shen Beiqiu, I didn't know you understood Su Yisuo so well." Su Yixin sighed, "It seems she's already notorious."

  Shen Beiqiu didn't think so, "This is a very meaningful hobby."

  Su Yi Xin smiled ambiguously.

  Su Yixin finally returned to Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School with a small bunch of dogtail grass in hand. He didn't bring anything that could be put away, so he just held it in his hand, calmly accepting the curious or strange glances from passersby along the way, until they saw Su Yisu intact.

  Su Yi was shocked and shouted: "Su Yi Xin, are you crazy? What's the point of bringing this dog tail grass to me? Did you bring it all the way from Jiang Cheng Middle School? Don't we have it in our school stadium? Is it that necessary for you?"

  Su Yi Xin waited until Su Yi Su finished speaking, then spoke in a low voice: "This small bunch of grass witnessed my acquaintance with my brother-in-law... ah no, I mean Shen Bei Qiu. I think it's very meaningful, so I brought them back for you. Shen Bei Qiu said that maybe they have some language of flowers too."

  Su Yi Su looked at him with an expression of disbelief, her eyes scanning him up and down before saying: "Going to Jiang City Middle School can still let you run into Shen Bei Qiu, impressive! But what kind of flower language can a dog's tail grass have? It's not even a flower."

  Su Yixin stuffed the dog tail grass into her hand and turned to leave, "Check it out yourself, you don't understand everything."

  Su Yi Su stared at the dog tail grass in her hand with a speechless face.

  Back in the dormitory, Su Yisou was still curious and went online to Baidu some information about dog tail grass, astonishingly discovering that it really had a language of flowers: unrequited love, difficult love that is not understood by others.

  It is said that the dog tail grass was brought down from heaven by a fairy when she descended to the mortal world, and her beloved dog transformed into it. The fairy fell in love with a scholar in the mortal world, but their love was obstructed by the Queen Mother of Heaven. To be together, the fairy and the scholar dared to defy the Queen Mother. At the final moment of their confrontation, the fairy's dog sacrificed its life to save them. In the end, the fairy and the scholar transformed into a pair of jade pendants, which were passed down in the mortal world. It is said that if two people who are meant to be together each obtain one of these pendants, they will eventually become husband and wife. After the fairy's dog died, it transformed into dog tail grass, witnessing the love between the couple for generations to come.

  Is it called dog tail grass just because of this? Su Yisuo muttered to himself, isn't this too careless? A great grass like this is ruined by its name!
