Chapter 5  

Nan Zhi was still uneasy at night. Later, she sat in the wheelchair and went to knock on Nan Jin’s door.

Nan Jin opened the door and saw that it was Nan Zhi. She was his most beloved sister. He would be very happy just to see her.

The gentleness in his heart was aroused. He squatted down and asked her gently, “What’s wrong, Zhi Zhi? Did you miss me? Come in quickly.”

Nan Jin pushed the wheelchair into the room and carried Nan Zhi to the edge of the bed.

“Ah!” Nan Zhi staggered and fell onto Nan Jin when she got up.

“I’m sorry, Brother. I hurt you. I’m really a little fool. I can’t even do such a small thing well.”

Nan Jin held her in her arms and comforted her in a soft voice, “It’s alright. I’ll protect you forever.”

As soon as he said this, some images suddenly flashed through Nan Jin’s mind. His head hurt so much that he could not help but groan.

“What’s wrong, Brother?” Nan Zhi hugged Nan Jin and asked nervously.

Suddenly, Nan Jin pushed her away.

“Zhi Zhi, you’re an adult now, you have to mind your actions.”

In his mind just now an image of Nan Zhi had appeared. She had an incomparably evil smile on that innocent and flawless face of hers.

At the same time, he saw Nan Qiao huddled up in a dilapidated house, hugging her arms and shivering from the cold. Such images appeared in his mind from time to time.

Nan Zhi was pushed inexplicably, not understanding why he would suddenly push her away when everything was going fine.

“Brother, didn’t we always hug like this in the past?” Nan Zhi pouted and asked coquettishly.

“Zhi Zhi, did you have anything important to tell me? If there’s nothing else, I’ll send you back to your room.” Nan Jin forced a smile and carried Nan Zhi back to the wheelchair, sending her back.

“But Brother…”

After successfully sending Nan Zhi back to her room, Nan Jin passed by Nan Qiao’s room and saw the closed door. For some reason, Nan Qiao’s pitiful look kept appearing in his mind.

Nan Jin returned to his room with a dark look in his eyes. After a while, he appeared at the door of Nan Qiao’s room with a bag of snacks.

He hung the bag of snacks on the doorknob.

Hearing the commotion outside, Nan Qiao opened the door in confusion.

To her surprise, there was a bag of snacks hanging on her doorknob.

“Rumble~”

Her stomach made a noise that forced her to take the snacks into the room.

She had not even eaten dinner and was famished.

Although she did not know who sent it and what their motive was, she had to fill her stomach first.

——

In the morning, Nan Qiao, who was carrying her school bag appeared at the staircase with difficulty. When she passed by the living room, she grabbed a box of milk.

Seeing Nan Qiao like this, Nan Jin raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

Didn’t he bring her food last night?

Why was she still like this?

Nan Qiao supported herself against the wall as she walked. She had been suffering from diarrhea all night and was exhausted. Her legs were weak and her dark circles were about to reach her cheeks.

“I don’t know who it was, but someone sent an expired bag of snacks to my room last night!”

Because of her anger, Nan Qiao’s voice was a little loud. Just then, she felt a surge of pain in her stomach. She quickly threw her bag away and ran into the bathroom again.

Nan Jin frantically picked up a glass of milk and gulped it down to hide his embarrassment.

The snacks expired?

He rarely ate snacks. The snacks from last night were actually Nan Hao’s. It seemed like they had been with him for a long time…

When Nan Qiao came out, she saw that it was already getting late. If she was late again today, the form teacher would cause trouble for her.

She could only pick up her bag and run.

As soon as she left the house, she saw Nan Jin, riding his limited edition mountain bike at the door.

Nan Qiao glanced at it and ran.

Nan Jin saw her running away from him. She had already seen him. Why didn’t she greet him?

Nan Jin was depressed. He stepped on the pedal and rushed forward, far in front of Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao gripped the strap of her bag tightly and cursed in her heart.

Show off!

She would have one in the future too!

However, not long after, she saw Nan Jin’s bike parked in front of her. Nan Qiao could not help but roll her eyes. Her stomach felt like it had to be emptied again. She had to run faster.

Nan Jin watched Nan Qiao run past him again.

A sense of defeat rose in his heart. Would it kill her to greet him and ask him to give her a ride!

So be it. He didn’t want to talk to that wretched girl anymore!

Nan Qiao saw Nan Jin rushing past her again.

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and picked up a rock from the ground to smash at him.

In the end, Nan Qiao still arrived late at the school.

Just as the form teacher was about to reprimand Nan Qiao, he saw Nan Qiao run past him and rush towards the bathroom.

Nan Qiao was exhausted. She lay on the sink, her face pale and weak. Her school bag was hanging on her arm as she panted heavily.

She should not have eaten last night. She should have known that there was no good person in that family.

At this moment, footsteps came from the men’s washroom. A boy came out and raised his eyebrows slightly. He glanced at Nan Qiao and quickly restrained himself. He planned to wash his hands and leave in one breath.

Nan Qiao felt that it was difficult for her to open her eyes. In her daze, she saw a pair of fair, slender, and well-defined hands under the running water.

The other party did not even look at her and left.

Nan Qiao reached out to grab his sleeve but missed. She called out weakly, “Huo Yichen.”

The boy in front stopped and turned around, only to find that she had already fainted.

Huo Yichen frowned and pursed his lips as if he had encountered a difficult problem.

When Nan Qiao woke up again, she was in the infirmary. The smell of disinfectant filled the air. There were five beds in the infirmary, and she was alone there.

There was still an intravenous drip attached to the back of her hand.

The doctor and teacher came back after washing their hands. When they saw Nan Qiao wake up, they raised their eyebrows and asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”

“No,” Nan Qiao answered blankly. Then she remembered where she was before she fainted. So she’d fainted in the toilet?

“Teacher, who sent me here?”

The doctor and teacher replied, “It’s a male classmate. He left after sending you here.”

Nan Qiao remembered that the only person she had seen before she fainted was Huo Yichen. She felt so awkward that she could dig out a large hole with her toes.

“Where’s he?” Nan Qiao looked around frantically but didn’t see him.

The doctor said with a gossipy smile, “That boy left long ago. Why? Are you interested in him?”

Nan Qiao was so frightened that her eyes widened. She hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no. I just want to thank him. I don’t mean anything else.”

F*ck!

Wasn’t the doctor in the infirmary being too nosy?

“The person who sent you here is a handsome boy. Since you said no, it’s fine.” Although she said that, the smile on the infirmary teacher’s face was still very ambiguous.

Nan Qiao quickly left the infirmary after the drip. She never wanted to come back here again.

However, since the other party had helped her, it would be unreasonable not to thank him.

When Nan Qiao returned, it was time for class to end. Something seemed to have happened in the class as there was a lot of discussion going on.

After entering the classroom, the energy that Nan Qiao had painstakingly regained instantly disappeared.
