Chapter 35
“I think I’m fully rested, so I will go back to school . ” She sits up . She still feels dizzy, but ignores it .
Dr . Jiang quickly stops her as she speaks . “You may think you’re almost well, but let me measure your pulse and heart rate . ”
“But… . ”
Dr . Jiang doesn’t allow her to interrupt . “And even if your heartbeat is normal, in order to completely restore yourself, you should lie down and rest a day . ”
An Chuxia just ran a dozen laps around the playground, and now she needs to lay for one day? She was born in worse home conditions and sometimes, in order to save money, boiling a few pots of water to drink to stave off a fever has kept her alive and going .
She is not raised as a wealthy family’s daughter .
“Doctor, did you know I used to have a fever of forty degrees Celsius, but I did not have to worry about what was going on?”
She flashes a bright smile, a smile revealing she is strong and confident . So far, the reason for her existence is attending a key university .
“But, miss … . ”
“Your restorative force is an amazing thing . ” An Chuxia freezes at the sound of his voice .
She deliberately does not want to see him .
“Oh, young master, the lady said she would go to class in the afternoon, but I told her it’s best to rest at home for a day and attend class tomorrow . You better persuade her . ”
Han Qilu acknowledges Dr . Jiang as the doctor takes his medical kit and leaves .
“Do not go to class this afternoon and stay in bed . ” Han Qilu glances at her . Then he takes an apple from her glass-topped table and casually bites a mouthful of fruit .
He leaves for his room to change his outfit and don a new Stein College uniform . He happens to see Xiao Mingluo and Ling Yu in the hall as he emerges from his room .
At first, he thought An Chuxia hasn’t woken up, so he slips into her room .
He did not think she is actually awake… .
“You stay in your own bed . ” She does not give in . She shoves the quilt over her as she casually jumps out of bed . She did not expect her legs to feel like jelly . All of a sudden, she loses control of her center of gravity, propelling her forward .
“Stupid!” Han Qilu doesn’t follow the script; not rushing immediately to catch her as she falls . He bites his cheek to stop himself from calling her an idiot .
The ancients would’ve said it’s a great wonder how an earthly Han Qilu can be such a wonderful actor .
“To fall to one’s death, I have to achieve clarity as to why I am to be with you . ” He reaches out for the apple and bites into it . When he has taken a few mouthfuls, he accurately throws the core into the pink trash bin . Then, he walks past An Chuxia, squats next to her, and smiles .
She maintains her position on the floor, her heart, cursing herself as being unlucky . Her feet remains twisted in her sheets .
The young master imagines this as his victory! “Remember, you’re playing Han Qilu’s game . ”
But his victory spoil is… An Chuxia lying there, motionless .
His heart suddenly lurches . Han Qilu leans in and pokes her . “Hey - . ”
An Chuxia suddenly turns her head toward him . A bit scared, he takes a little jump . In fact, it’s shock, but he doesn’t not want to admit to it .
