Chapter 45: Sudden Abdominal Pain and Calling an Ambulance

~7 min read 1,392 words

"Morning, Shuai Yan (smiley face)."

"Spring sleep, unaware of dawn; good morning, Qiqi."

"I've discovered you're quite good at using memes."

"I've been reading a lot lately and picked up a few tricks."

After saying good morning to Hao Anqi upon waking, he stepped into the breeze; under the fiery red morning sun, every student's face was illuminated with a radiant glow.

A new day of military training had begun.

Looking out over the asphalt road in front of the dormitory building, it was a sea of black, all shadows in camouflage uniforms; after several consecutive days of military training, a visible wheat-colored glow appeared on those youthful, vibrant faces.

After all, this world is never short of straightforward people; the sun abuses me a thousand times, yet I treat the sun like my first love.

We just don't wear sunscreen.

The six people in the Dormitory chatted and laughed as they headed toward the sports field; inexplicably, Shen Yan always felt someone watching him from behind, his spine feeling chilly. He turned his head and locked eyes with a round-faced girl wearing glasses.

The girl's expression was full of resentment, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster hiding food, adding a touch of cuteness.

Huh! Isn't this the girl who came to ask for his QQ on the pedestrian bridge last time?

He had even pretended to be mute back then.

Shen Yan gave a sheepish smile and ignored her, taking out his phone to play with it on his own. Along the way, he also noticed quite a few people pointing at him, and he could vaguely hear the words "Rice Noodle Brother."

Great! It seems he is truly famous this time.

On the sports field, the freshmen were clearly divided into groups by class. The students of Law Class 1 sat listlessly on the football field's grass with water bottles placed beside them. Seeing Shen Yan, they all chuckled and teased: "Rice Noodle Brother, good morning!"

"Boss Shen, when are you setting up your stall again? We brothers would love to go and support you."

Yu Youwei even patted Shen Yan on the arm, complaining that Shen Yan didn't keep her, a good friend, in his heart, as he hadn't even given her a heads-up after mastering the craft.

Wu Yueer chimed in: "Old Shen, show us your skills tonight and let us taste just how good Rice Noodle Brother's craft really is."

Shen Yan pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm a locksmith; are you qualified?"

The Huniu from the Northeast was carefree, and there was no need to be reserved when joking with her.

"Why on earth would I be a locksmith?" Wu Yueer didn't react at all, the dazed and cute expression on her melon-shaped face appearing particularly distinct under the sunlight.

"Pfft!"

Luo Qiqi couldn't help but snicker, reminding her: "Yue'er, Shen Yan means you aren't qualified to taste his cooking."

Everyone present laughed until they were doubled over; they couldn't even remember how many times they had been amused by Shen Yan—this guy really had something special.

"Damn it!" Wu Yueer cursed, and with a stride of her long legs, she wanted to rush up and hit Shen Yan. Shen Yan dodged and hid behind the others, and for a moment, the entire formation was thrown into chaos.

Under the scorching sun, a grueling training session unfolded once again. Due to the presence of Yu Youwei and Shen Yan, Law Class 1 became famous, especially the beauties in the 602 Dormitory, who were known to everyone. Whenever there was a break, students from other formations would crowd over; the timid ones watched from afar, while the bold ones went straight up to ask for contact information.

Compared to the cold rejection methods of others, Wu Yueer was much more blunt; if she didn't like someone, she didn't like them, and she would directly claim she didn't have QQ.

It was fine when she met someone self-aware, but when she encountered those who pestered her, Wu Yueer would directly scold them: "Are you really stupid or just pretending? Do you have to make me spell out that I'm not interested in you?"

One sentence left the other person blushing with shame, and they ran off in a panic.

Shen Yan told her to be more tactful and at least leave people some face.

"I've already been very restrained. I told them I don't have QQ, I don't have QQ, and they still stubbornly insist I'm lying to them. They ask even when they know I'm lying. I hate boys who lack self-awareness the most." Wu Yueer curled her lips, as proud as a white swan.

After morning training ended and they had lunch at the canteen, Shen Yan went straight to the library to cool off, with Yu Youwei pulling Chen Shanni close behind.

On the way, they were still complaining about when this hellish weather would ever end.

For a delicate girl, having to endure the smell of stinking sweat every day while being exposed to the scorching sun meant that even with sunscreen protection, her skin inevitably darkened by a shade.

What a terrifying torture this was.

On the 9th floor of the library, at their familiar window-side seats, the three of them each picked up books that interested them and began to read, enjoying a feast of knowledge. A quiet and peaceful atmosphere enveloped the surroundings; time seemed to stop at this moment, with only the sound of turning pages echoing in the air.

When sleepy, they would rest their heads on the table to close their eyes, or look through the window to admire the colorful world outside, feeling the magic and beauty of nature.

"Gua Yan, Gua Yan, wake up quickly."

After an unknown amount of time, a groggy Shen Yan felt someone calling him. He opened his eyes to find Yu Youwei sitting opposite him with an anxious expression, while Chen Shanni seemed to be in a bad state—her round, fleshy face was devoid of color, her lips were pale, and she was clutching her stomach, leaning on Yu Youwei's shoulder in great pain.

Shen Yan hurriedly stood up and walked over to ask what was wrong. Yu Youwei said she didn't know either; Chen Shanni had suddenly said her stomach hurt, and she didn't know what to do now.

"Is it that time of the month?" Shen Yan had a sudden thought.

Don't girls have those few days every month, what they call menstrual cramps?

Chen Shanni shook her head weakly, the meaning self-evident. Shen Yan couldn't help but panic a little and said: "You don't look well. Should I take you to the hospital?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Shen Yan didn't waste words and dialed 120 directly: "Hello! Hi, there's a student here with a stomachache who needs an ambulance... at the entrance of the library on the East Campus of Hangzhou University. Yes! Please hurry!"

After hanging up, Shen Yan picked up Chen Shanni in his arms and headed for the elevator, with Yu Youwei following closely behind.

Something happened!

Surrounding students cast their gazes over, and some even followed, hoping to contribute a little help.

In the elevator, looking at Chen Shanni's face, which was as pale as paper from the pain, and the cold sweat constantly breaking out, Shen Yan comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid. I suspect it's just appendicitis or something; you should be fine after taking some medicine."

Chen Shanni's eyelids fluttered open. That face so close to her seemed to radiate light; it was an indescribable warmth and brightness that gave people a sense of peace.

Inexplicably, Chen Shanni felt the pain in her abdomen ease quite a bit.

Hangzhou University is located in the center of Hangzhou City, so the ambulance arrived very quickly. Within five minutes, it appeared at the library entrance. The "Wee-woo! Wee-woo!" sound attracted a large crowd of students who gathered around.

Watching the flowers bloom and fall, and viewing human warmth and coldness with indifference—this world is never short of people who love to watch the excitement.

After getting into the ambulance and speeding along, the accompanying male doctor examined her and gave a preliminary judgment: "I suspect it's a kidney stone, but the specific situation will need further confirmation at the hospital."
