Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (7)

  Gu Xian had originally gone to the office building opposite the teaching building to find Teacher Qin. The first class was her math class, but strangely, even though the bell had rung for a long time, there was no sign of Teacher Qin appearing, which had never happened before.

  Teacher Qin is very passionate about her work and is very responsible, even if something important comes up, she will always make arrangements in advance and would never leave without notice like today.

  It's been a long wait for Teacher Qin to arrive, but the class has already become a scene of "no tiger in the mountains, monkeys claiming to be kings". The classmates are like they're having a party, going wild and crazy. Although Gu Xian as the class leader tried to suppress them several times, one person's power really can't compete with the whole class's power, and could only watch helplessly as the entire class slides into a state of disorganization and indiscipline.

  In the end, it was under Teng's reminder that he went to find Teacher Qin.

  When Gu Xian walked onto the playground, he happened to witness everything. When Tang Sugar fainted, he wanted to go take a look at her, but his two legs felt like they were filled with lead and couldn't be lifted up no matter what. In his heart, a little black devil was reminding him that he mustn't go over there. If he got entangled with her in any way, he would definitely be ostracized by the class, and just now when his classmates didn't believe him was the best proof. He had never encountered this kind of situation before, this was the bad luck brought about by being in contact with that jinx. If he continued to get entangled with her, what happened earlier was only the beginning.

  Gu Xian stood on the playground in a daze for a while before walking heavily to Teacher Qin's office.

  Teacher Qin is not in the office!

  It's strange, during class time, she is neither in the classroom nor in her office, where could she be?

  He had a lot of questions in his mind, wanting to ask other teachers, but before he could open his mouth, the ringing sound of his phone suddenly went off, and all the teachers who were modifying their homework and preparing lessons looked up at him with a disturbed expression.

  Gu Xiannian blushed and apologized with a bow, then hastily walked out of the office to answer the phone.

  The phone call was from Qin teacher, her tone was very low and serious, with a sense of gravity, she said to Gu Xianian: "Gu Xianian, the teacher has an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately, this class can't be held, you remember to take care of the discipline in the class, let your classmates study well during this period."

  "Alright, Teacher Qin, don't worry, handle the matter and come back later. I'll take care of the class discipline." Gu Xianian said very maturely.

  He hung up the phone, and his doubts only grew. From the teacher's tone, she was now facing a very serious matter. What could make the normally calm Qin teacher so flustered?

  Just as Gu Xian Nian was about to leave, Chinese teacher Zhao called him back. Gu Xian Nian responded with a "yes" and hastily returned to the office.

  Teacher Zhao handed him a cell phone and said: "When Teacher Qin left, she was in such a hurry that she didn't even notice her phone had fallen to the ground. If you see her, be sure to return it to her."

  Gu Xiannian said "thank you" and the doubts in her heart grew thicker: Teacher Qin didn't bring a mobile phone? Then whose phone did she borrow to make that call just now?

  He hastily took out his mobile phone and opened the communication record. The phone number on it was indeed Qin teacher's, maybe Zhao teacher made a mistake.

  Just as Gu Xian was about to return his mobile phone to Teacher Zhao, he suddenly noticed a courier package that had been opened on Teacher Qin's desk.

  His heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and he always felt that Qin teacher's sudden departure was related to this express delivery.

  He nervously picked up the express box, which was empty inside, with nothing in it. The label on the box read: mobile phone.

  Gu Xiannian's heart skipped a beat again, and he looked at his phone with suspicion...

  On a summer night, Tongtong was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. All along the way, she remained unconscious and a doctor accompanying her gave her oxygen.

  Xia Ye's face turned white with fright as he watched TV and saw that only critically ill patients used oxygen masks, could it be that Tang Su...

  On a summer night, I didn't dare to think any further, and my heart shrank into a very small ball. In terror, I asked the doctor: "How is my sister? Is she in great danger?"

  As soon as he spoke, he was like a death row inmate waiting for the verdict, his heart racing with anticipation.

  The doctor was busy giving Tang sugar various preliminary examinations, and was interrupted by Xia Ye, who had a very bad temper, saying: "Is it dangerous or not? It's only possible to make a final judgment after further examination. You little brat, don't interrupt me, I have to re-measure your blood pressure again."

  On a summer night, he didn't dare to speak again, nervously staring at Tangtang, his gaze never leaving her pale and bloodless doll-like face, hoping that her eyelids would move slightly, even if only slightly, so as not to make him so anxious!

  They finally arrived at the hospital, and Xia Ye followed Tang Tang's stretcher all the way to the emergency room door, where they were ruthlessly blocked by two nurses.

  As the emergency room door slammed shut, Xia Ye's heart sank all the way down to the bottomless abyss, but her whole body felt light and floating, every step she took was like stepping on soft cotton, feeling unsteady, with a sense of despair that was neither here nor there.

  The clock in the hospital hall knows nothing of human worries, numbly and mercilessly ticking away, time flowing quietly without a sound.

  The summer night dragged on like a year, and he was restless with anxiety, pacing back and forth in the hall. The various murmurs of the people queuing up to register in the hall were completely blocked out by him, his eyes and heart only had Tang Su's safety left, for her, he who never believed in Buddhism had already prayed to Buddha countless times in his heart, must protect her safely, must!

  After waiting for an unknown length of time, the emergency room door finally opened and Tang sugar was pushed out.

  On a summer night, I couldn't tell whether to feel happy or sad. With an urgent and impatient step, I rushed over and saw that Tang Sugar had already woken up. Although her face was still pale, she had finally woken up, thank goodness!

  He cried excitedly on that summer night, afraid that Tang Sugar would see him, so he turned his face away and quietly wiped away his tears before smiling at her again.

  After entering the ward, Sugar's attending doctor watched as the nurses settled her in before nodding and saying, "We'll need to observe you for three more days." Then he left.

  When leaving, the doctor shook his head regretfully and then sighed helplessly.

  Why did he do that? Xia Ye really wanted to chase him out and ask what was going on, but she wasn't at ease leaving Tang Su alone.

  He sat down beside her bed, and the heart that had been so shocked finally switched to a state of joy, and naturally held Tang Sugar's small, soft hand.

  That tender, soft and elastic feeling was wonderful. In his heart, an unusual affection arose, and suddenly he wanted to protect the owner of this hand for a lifetime.

  Tang Sugar was taken aback by his sudden action, hastily pulling her hand out of his warm large hand, her shy gaze didn't know where to look, her pale face seemed to have a light layer of rouge, blushing bright red, so adorable!

  Xia Ye was taken aback at first, and then felt a little embarrassed. To break the awkward atmosphere, he coughed twice and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

  "Alright." Tong Tang's reply sounded somewhat weak.

  On a summer night, he glanced at other beds, each patient's bedside table was piled with all kinds of food, and the bed was also surrounded by relatives and friends who came to visit and ask about their condition. Only Tang sugar's place was cold and empty, without any food, his heart felt sour, and his eyes followed suit, he blinked hard a few times, holding back tears, pretending to be calm as usual, but his voice couldn't hide the choking sound: "You sleep for a while, I'll go out and buy some fruit for you."

  On a summer night, Xia Ye carefully tucked Tang Su into bed, watching her close her eyes before turning and leaving.

  As soon as he turned around, Tang Sugar mischievously opened his eyes and watched his back, secretly laughing in his heart: "Obviously a kind-hearted and quick-witted good boy, but deliberately pretending to be aloof, is it because being with me makes him feel embarrassed? Does he have to appear superior to me?"

  As soon as he thought of this, Tang Sugar suddenly remembered the words that Gu Xiannian had said unintentionally at the classroom door: "Even if I liked a pig, I wouldn't like her!"

  A pair of big eyes that were originally curved into a smile quickly welled up with tears.

  I'm sorry, I made you lose face.
