Gu Qingjiu was not sure whether to laugh or to cry.
“The Chief Instructor is quite a nice person… He’s like… A little angel!”
Gu Qian and Chu Lian were rendered speechless.
The two of them exchanged glances, wondering if this person was possessed or something.
Pretending she heard nothing, Chu Lian sat down and said sincerely with a grave tone, “We get it. You’re sick, and you have a fever. Moreover, he’s your boyfriend!”
Not ours.
He was extremely cold facing them.
Faced with Gu Qingjiu, he was like a melted glacier, just short of oozing with water.
The difference in treatment was so obvious one should have sensed it earlier.
“Did I show symptoms last night?”
Feeling awkward too, Gu Qingjiu quickly changed the topic.
Gu Qian nodded, a lingering fear on her face. “We were the first ones to discover it. Aiyoh, you were so deathly pale at that time. Just like a dead…”
Pa!
Chu Lian smacked her head from the back. “Do you know how to talk?”
Gu Qian stuck out her tongue and put it another way. “In any case, it was so serious. You were covered in sweat from head to toe!”
“If Qi Xiaoran didn’t detect it at first, we couldn’t have sent you to the hospital so early on. Who knows what major problem would have happened from the delay?”
“The infirmary doctor said it was infectious influenza, so we sent you to the hospital.”
Chu Lian immediately added, “I heard the Chief Instructor found out about the cause of how you got infected?”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yes.”
She then recounted Sunday’s incident to them.
“You should eat less of those foods outside!”
Gu Qian lectured Gu Qingjiu with a serious countenance. Then it suddenly struck her that something was amiss. “So you went out to have fun, and not because you have an urgent matter to attend to?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
“I mean, just look at who her boyfriend is.” Chu Lian immediately laughed.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Gu Qian said, “Tsk tsk. Aiyoh, you’re of a different level than us now.”
Gu Qingjiu felt shy from all that teasing. “Others don’t know about this yet. Now that you’re aware, please don’t go around telling people. I’m afraid the Chief Instructor will face implications if the higher-ups find out.”
Although the possibility wasn’t great.
Since the Chief Instructor even dared to come to the hospital to accompany her, those higher-ups shouldn’t know about it.
“Of course, we wouldn’t spread it. But I’m sure it won’t be kept under wraps.”
Chu Lian tapped her nose. “The school must have learned of your influenza virus today, so they will send out a notification. Since the Chief Instructor rushed to the hospital to accompany you, do you think those higher-ups are blind or deaf?”
What she said was just as Gu Qingjiu guessed. But still, Gu Qingjiu carried a glimmer of hope in her heart.
“But I truly never imagined that your boyfriend would be the Chief Instructor.”
Gu Qian feigned a sigh. “How nice. With such a handsome boyfriend, when you get into a quarrel, the argument would stop by simply looking at that face.”
Gu Qingjiu and Chu Lian were speechless.
Amid the laughter, just then, someone shouted outside the ward, “Qingjiu, how are you feeling? Are you better now?”
Gu Qingjiu looked up, and to her surprise, she saw Qi Yuefeng.
Behind her, there was also her anxious-looking older brother Gu Qingmo.
Gu Qingjiu was shocked. “Mom, Brother, why are you two here?”
Moreover, it was so early in the morning! How could they get there so fast!
