Infirmary.

The doctor hung three bottles of medicine on the pole and then asked Li Heng:

"Left hand or right hand? Why not use the left hand? It will be more convenient for you to go to the restroom later."

Li Heng stretched out his left hand as instructed.

The doctor signaled him to clench his left fist to make the blood vessels stand out, and then said:

"You look quite nourished on the surface, why are your hands dry and without meat? The college entrance exam is coming soon, you should still eat more good things."

Li Heng really didn't have much strength, just nodded perfunctorily, and then closed his eyes.

Seeing this, the doctor instructed Song Yu next to him, "When the first bottle is almost finished, call me. Also, if he has anything wrong, notify me immediately. I'll go get an ice pack."

Song Yu said okay.

The doctor left, and the room inside was suddenly left with only the two of them.

Because of the dream talk "Song Yu, I love you, marry me," Song Yu was a bit uncomfortable at first, but later when she saw him always closing his eyes, she gradually relaxed.

She tilted her head and looked at him quietly.

Three sets of unrelated pictures suddenly popped into her mind:

The first set was the scene where he and Chen Zijin were secretly dating when Chen Zijin was still at First High School.

Zijin seemed to like him very much. Whenever they were in private without outsiders, the thing she liked to do most was to feed him things.

For example, peeling oranges, removing the white silk from the orange skirt, stuffing the orange meat into his mouth piece by piece, and occasionally when she was in the mood, she would mischievously bite half of it first, and then feed the other half to him.

The second set of pictures was when he told her that he was the author of "To Live," December, and the situation where he often read newspapers at his seat.

Influenced by him invisibly, after she went home, she would occasionally curiously pick up the newspapers her father had read and read them, specifically picking those news reports about "To Live."

The third set of pictures was related to her.

Song Yu was not slow, on the contrary, she was very sensitive to things around her, which made her vaguely notice that Li Heng's eyes looking at her were different in her first year of high school.

But she didn't care at that time.

Because she had seen too many such admiring eyes since she was a child, and she was already used to it.

However, starting this semester, he changed a lot all of a sudden, becoming bolder than before, daring to look at her directly, daring to look at her directly, and even daring to grab her hand. He even dared to admit that he liked her frankly in front of Mai Sui and Manning.

This made her a bit at a loss.

She didn't know why she had to stay to accompany him now?

But she stayed by some strange chance.

Thinking of this, Song Yu brushed her hair behind her ear with her right hand and asked after a long time: "You haven't eaten lunch, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

What awaited was silence; Li Heng didn't answer.

"Li Heng?" Song Yu increased her volume a little.

Li Heng was still sleeping there.

Song Yu was stunned.

The next second, she reached out to probe his breath, and her right hand touched his pulse. After seeing that everything was normal, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking at him quietly for a while, thinking that the IV medicine was cold and fearing that he would catch a further cold, she got up and went to the cabinet to get a square thin cotton quilt and covered him with it.

These quilts were common items in the infirmary because IV drips were too cold in winter and needed quilts to keep warm.

After a while, the doctor came in with an ice pack and a towel and applied it to his forehead.

The doctor also checked his physical condition and asked Song Yu suddenly: "Are you two dating?"

Song Yu shook her head lightly.

The doctor looked at her, then at Li Heng, and teased with a smile: "But looking at it, you two are quite a match."

The doctor was a person who had been through it, with sharp eyes. The relationship between these two must not be so clear, so he said a few more words with interest.

Song Yu smiled politely and didn't reply quietly.

As the medicine entered his body, Li Heng fell asleep again.

During this period, he felt someone covering him with a quilt. In his confusion, he thought it was his wife, subconsciously grabbed the other party's hand and covered it on his abdomen, his body moved slightly, and he fell asleep sweetly again.

This skillful grab of his harmed Song Yu, and she was stunned in place for a while.

Growing up, this was the second time an opposite sex had touched her hand, and it was the same person before and after.

Song Yu subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but after several efforts without reaction, she seriously observed the facial expressions of the man in front of her.

Including the subtle movement of the eyelashes.

Including the even breathing sound.

After confirming for a minute or two that he was really asleep and that it was a truly unconscious action, she took a deep breath, moved her body slightly towards him, fearing to wake him up, so she let her left hand be grabbed by him. In order to cover up the ups and downs in her heart, she took a "Story Meeting" from the chair next to her and read it.

It's just that while reading the magazine, she would look up from time to time to see how much medicine was left?

Then she looked at him beside her with concern, and seeing that he had no abnormal reaction, she continued to read.

At first, she was very unaccustomed to this and felt a bit awkward, but as time passed, her mentality gradually calmed down, and she didn't think too much about it, accompanying him naturally.

Half an hour, about half an hour, because the infusion was not fast, a bottle of medicine was not finished. At this time, Mai Sui came, carrying two insulated lunch boxes in her hand.

Zhang Zhiyong at the door outside saw it was her and wanted to open his mouth to say hello, but he was naturally afraid of beautiful girls, not to mention that the other party's grades were so good. In the end, he touched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said hello.

Mai Sui also smiled at him and entered the inner room.

Hearing footsteps at the door, Song Yu instinctively tried to pull her left hand back again, but it was still a bit late, and it was seen by Mai Sui, who had half her body inside.

Looking at each other, the world seemed to be still.

After a few seconds of surprise, Mai Sui looked at the hands of the two stacked together again, withdrew her body calmly, and exited the room.

After waiting for about a minute, Mai Sui at the door asked with a soft smile: "Song Yu, can I come in?"

Song Yu gave a soft hmm.

Mai Sui came in, and when she saw the hands of the two still stacked together, her surprise was beyond words.

Song Yu said quietly: "He is too strong, I can't pull it out."

Mai Sui sat beside her, watched Li Heng for a while, and said: "It seems this is his subconscious behavior. You have truly walked into his heart; you make him feel very at ease."

Song Yu was silent, not knowing how to interface.

After a long time, she asked: "Where are Manning and Lijun?"

Mai Sui said: "I came a step ahead with the lunch box. They went to the restroom together, and they should be coming soon."

Hearing this, Song Yu put the "Story Meeting" aside and had to pull her left hand hard.

As expected, as soon as she pulled, Li Heng also woke up in a daze.

Half-opening his eyes, seeing Song Yu and Mai Sui looking at himself together, Li Heng asked weakly: "What time is it?"

Song Yu looked at the alarm clock on the wall behind him, "1:04."

Then she asked: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Mai Sui brought food."

Li Heng drooped his eyelids, "Not very hungry, no appetite."

Then he added: "Why don't you eat first? I'll watch you eat, maybe I'll want to eat while watching."

Song Yu naturally understood the meaning of his words, smiled like an orchid, didn't be polite to him, took a lunch box from Mai Sui's hand, opened it, and ate quietly.

Worthy of being Sun Manning's 18th birthday banquet, the dishes were very rich, with chicken, meat, and fish, as well as two vegetable dishes, embellished with green and red peppers, a combination of meat and vegetables, looking very delicious.

Mai Sui didn't let herself grab the conversation in front, and hadn't made a sound until this time, only then did she ask: "Are you better?"

Li Heng shook his head, no feeling.

The doctor came in and answered: "It shouldn't be so fast. After finishing this bottle, the fever might start to subside when the next bottle is half finished."

Li Heng asked: "Doctor, this infusion speed is too slow, can I adjust it faster?"

The doctor thought about it, helped him adjust the speed, and instructed, "You are on holiday this afternoon anyway, don't care about this bit of time, safety is the most important."

Sun Manning and Chen Lijun came. The two girls didn't find the strangeness in the room before and chatted with several people carefully.

When the second IV drip was half finished, just as the doctor said, Li Heng's face improved visibly, and he gradually became energetic, with some strength.

At this time, Sun Manning suddenly asked him, "Li Heng, did you have a dream when you were sleeping in the classroom today?"

Li Heng was stunned, and under the gaze of the girls, he nodded slowly.

Sun Manning immediately asked excitedly: "Tell me, what did you dream about?"

Li Heng turned his brain and asked back: "Did I talk in my sleep?"

The girls didn't make a sound tacitly, staring straight at him, the look was as gossipy as it could be.

However, Song Yu was an exception. She lowered her head and began to clean up the leftovers, wrapping the chicken bones and fish bones in paper, ready to pour them into the trash can outside.

Li Heng didn't dare to confirm and asked, "Did I really talk nonsense?"

Chen Lijun reminded from the side, "It's related to Song Yu."

"Oh, if it's related to her, it's definitely not nonsense." Li Heng immediately changed his tone.

Although he didn't know what he said, looking at the small expressions of the three girls, he could guess a few points.

But since he said it, in front of the three of them, he hadn't concealed his liking for Song Yu before, so there was no need to hypocritically deny it now.

Anyway, no matter what he said, he would just admit it.

Hearing these unconstrained but very sincere words, Sun Manning, Chen Lijun, and Mai Sui were instantly happy and laughed into a group.

Song Yu looked at him intently, got up and went outside to pour trash and wash the lunch boxes she had eaten.

Just at this time, a sound came from outside, Yang Yingwen's voice.

"Ah! Zhang Zhiyong, why are you sitting at the door of the infirmary?"

Yang Yingwen, who had just returned from shopping with Xiao Han, passed through the guard room and saw Zhang Zhiyong next to her at a glance. Out of habit, she asked.

Zhang Zhiyong didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Li Heng has a high fever, and I'm guarding him."

Hearing this, Xiao Han, who was walking towards the girls' dormitory, stopped and looked over, "High fever? How high is the fever?"

Seeing Xiao Han, Zhang Zhiyong reacted a bit. Isn't Master Heng both liking Song Yu and Xiao Han?

Mother's! Song Yu is inside, what should I do?

Que Xinyan is worthy of being Que Xinyan; the nickname won't call the wrong person. After poking a hole, this guy had no way at all, and could only watch Xiao Han enter the infirmary in a panic.

Seeing someone enter the door, the girls chatting inside looked over, and then...

Then the room was dead silent.

Seeing Mai Sui, Sun Manning, and Chen Lijun there, and so close to honey, Xiao Han felt inexplicably jealous. You're just having a fever, why make it look like an emperor choosing a concubine, with so many warblers and swallows surrounding you, can you handle it? Do you want me to kick them out?

Under the gaze of the three girls, Xiao Han knew she couldn't retreat, nor could she show weakness, and walked over feigning composure.

Asked crisply: "I heard you have a fever?"

Mai Sui and the girls were experiencing Xiao Han's style of speaking for the first time, and they were all a bit stunned.

Li Heng said hmm: "I'm getting an IV."

Xiao Han looked at the IV bottle, suppressed her concern, and asked playfully: "Then can I touch your forehead?"

Li Heng nodded. Even if he knew this girl was provoking him, he wouldn't refuse: "If you want to touch, touch it, one dollar at a time."

Xiao Han smiled sweetly, bent down and stretched out her right hand to stick it on his forehead. After a while, she asked: "Do you want to eat anything?"

Li Heng hadn't spoken yet.

Or rather, before he could answer, Xiao Han had already turned her head to look at Song Yu, who had returned from washing the lunch boxes.

Once Song Yu appeared, a strange atmosphere flowed in the room.

Although Mai Sui and the girls hadn't figured out the background, seeing the two most beautiful flowers in the school looking at each other, they also felt strange.

After looking at each other for a long time, Xiao Han took the lead in breaking the deadlock, but the exit was a king bomb, "Thank you for taking care of Li Heng."

Thank you?

Why say thank you?

From what position?

Saying this as a girlfriend?

Or saying this as a classmate and friend?

These words can attack or defend, and can switch identities at any time.

What's more powerful is that Xiao Han is fighting a psychological war. She knows that someone is thinking about Song Yu like a cat thinking about a mouse, but she can't judge what attitude Song Yu has towards him?

So of the thirty-six strategies, attacking the heart is the best.

If Song Yu cares about Li Heng, then these words will be very burning and meaningful when heard in the ears.

If Song Yu doesn't care about Li Heng, then it's just a polite and courteous thank you as a classmate and friend.

Her goal is very simple, just to test what the situation is between Song Yu and Li Heng?

Over the past three years, Song Yu had heard Xiao Han's name more than once, and also knew that many busybodies in the school called the other party and herself "Two Beauties."

Because Chen Zijin had told her that Xiao Han had a crush on Li Heng, Song Yu figured out the subtext of Xiao Han's words.

But she hadn't risen to the point of being jealous with others about Li Heng, just nodded calmly: "You're welcome."

A light "You're welcome" fought back all the twists and turns, but Xiao Han didn't have any sense of loss, but instead said to Li Heng with curved eyebrows, "I'll go buy you orange canned food."

Orange canned food, Chen Zijin often bought this when he had a fever before.

She was learning and selling, following the gourd and drawing the scoop.

Li Heng didn't refuse and said generously okay. After this black-bellied girl left, he turned to Song Yu and said, "I saw you eating and got hungry, give me the rice, I'll eat some first."

Hearing this, Song Yu took another lunch box, sat in the previous position, lifted the lid, and put it in front of him.

Li Heng smiled and said: "Thank you."

Song Yu smiled back: "You're welcome."

She said "You're welcome" twice before and after, but her mood was different.

Li Heng's simple move resolved all potential unfavorable factors like spring breeze and fine rain, making Song Yu feel particularly comfortable.

There is no harm without comparison. If it weren't for Xiao Han's previous words, Song Yu wouldn't feel that Li Heng's "Thank you" had anything different, but now she felt it. Although she couldn't distinguish what that unclear feeling was?

Turning unfavorable factors into favorable factors, this was a common occurrence for Li Heng, who had lived two lives. After all, without this means, he wouldn't dare to take on this porcelain job.
