Chapter 39: Fallen Ill

  "I cried hard for the entire winter, leaving you as a memory of yesterday. Repeating and sinking in thoughts alone, I finally understood that love is crying hard until that day......" As I heard the new ringtone on my phone, I pressed the answer key: "Hello!"

  "Han, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?" Ou Yang Sheng's voice came from the phone.

  "No, I just have a cold, can you help me ask for leave tomorrow?"

  "Where are you going?"

  "No, I'm feeling a bit under the weather and want to take a day off at home."

  "Then I'll come and keep you company tomorrow!"

  "No need, I'd rather sleep at home alone. You don't have to come."

  "Go to school! Take notes along the way, and you can give them to me in two days!"

  "Alright, alright! You get some rest. I'll come see you again the day after tomorrow."

  "Ah! Thank you." I hung up the phone and lay quietly in bed, gazing through the faint moonlight at the peaceful night scene. Suddenly, I felt like the whole world was very far away from me, as if I didn't belong to this world.

  I lay quietly for a long time, and finally decided to take a bath first and then have a good sleep.

  After washing up, I lay back down on the bed again.

  "Knock... knock... knock..."

  "Who's there?" I called out impatiently, wait, isn't my house empty?

  "It's me!" The voice was Xue Er. Right! I almost forgot that he started living at my place from today.

  I ran to open the door for her: "Miss, why are you late, is there something wrong?"

  "Spit it out if you have something to say." I snapped at him impatiently.

  "Alright! It's just that Xuan and I have decided to go on a trip for a week, I was thinking you could help us ask for leave."

  "Why don't you go yourself? It's not like we're taking a plane now." I said helplessly.

  "Bingo! We're taking his private jet. We agreed to watch the sunrise together..." and then struck a pose, looking utterly blissful.

  "I immediately interrupted her: 'Okay, okay, if you want to go, then go. I won't be going to school tomorrow either, but I'll help you guys ask for leave!'"

  "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you going to school?" Xue Er asked anxiously.

  "It's just a bit uncomfortable if there isn't any. Alright, go quickly! I'm going to rest now."

  "Take care then!" He said, and with a wave of his hand, he dragged a suitcase out the door.

  Why can everyone else find their loved ones and be happy, but I'm not?

  The next day

  I lazily crawled out of bed and looked at the clock, it was already 11 o'clock. I had never slept in so late before. My whole body felt weak and extremely tired. I couldn't help but fall back onto the bed and doze off again.

  After a long time, I vaguely heard someone calling me. Was I mistaken? There shouldn't be anyone at home, but it really was someone calling me. The voice sounded so familiar, was it Ye?

  "It's cold, wake up, don't sleep anymore." Ye shouted loudly beside my bed. Originally, I was already very nervous when I heard the news that I was sick at school. Now seeing me burning with fever and fainting, he immediately called for "Ye" to help the exclusive doctor.

  I slowly opened my eyes and saw Ye with a tense expression: "What are you doing here?"

  "If I weren't here, you'd probably really burn yourself to death." Ye said angrily.

  I looked at him and smiled: "This is the first time I've seen you say such a long sentence, and there's no cold tone in it."

  "Do you want to die?" he said, immediately turning back into an iceberg. Alas! Don't say that we women turn our faces faster than flipping a book, some men are the same.

  "Go on, what brings you here?"

  "Fool, won't you call a doctor when you have a fever?"

  At night, looking at me gently said: "From now on, take good care of yourself, don't let me worry, okay?"

  Looking at him, this feeling is so unreal, as if I've gone back to that night again.
