Chapter 122: Hypoglycemia

The next day.

Grade 10 Class A.

Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin arrived in class; almost everyone in the class was already there.

Mo Song and Leng Yueyou happened to walk in from the main entrance.

Mo Song gave Mu Youyu a shy smile, "Good morning, Sister Yu."

"Morning, Song-song." Mu Youyu replied, then she and Jiang Liangjin returned to their seats.

The math teacher happened to walk in carrying a bag.

"Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see!"

The teacher put the bag on the podium, voice clear: "How was your summer vacation? I heard someone won a gold medal by a landslide in the international physics competition, and someone else secretly went to join another competition?"

"Yes, yes, not bad!"

Some people in the back couldn't help chuckle, and some unconsciously glanced at the second-to-last row where the landslide gold medalist sat.

Jiang Liangjin had a blank expression, merely pulling out a textbook from the drawer.

Beside her, Mu Youyu took out a booklet from her bag, "A Jin…"

Before she could finish, the teacher's raised voice cut in: "Don't just keep laughing! It's been a while since we've seen you all, and not only do I miss you, but the knowledge points miss you too, so today we'll have a little math quiz!"

Everyone was incredulous: the knowledge points miss them?

The teacher hardly looked at their expressions, just raised a hand and tapped the bag: "I've already prepared the test papers. Before the exam, we'll rearrange seats according to the final exam rankings—single rows, single desks, number one in the first row first seat, then the rest in order!"

As soon as she finished, everyone reacted, and the classroom instantly buzzed with a faint commotion.

"No way? A test the second day of school?"

"Never mind, hurry up and move seats—finish the test early and we'll be done early; I want to go learn dance."

"What place am I again?"

"How would I know."

Everyone complained quietly while packing up their things, turning the desks into single-person seats, then moved chairs to find their places according to rank.

Mu Youyu was still sitting in her chair, she turned to look at Jiang Liangjin beside her and said, "Good luck on the test, A Jin."

Jiang Liangjin was helping her arrange her things; hearing that, she lifted her gaze, a softness flickering in her cold eyes, "Okay."

They tied for first place, but Mu Youyu's student number is 1 and Jiang Liangjin's is 2.

Therefore, according to the rule, she sits in the first row, and he sits directly behind her.

Mu Youyu put her things down in the first seat, was about to turn and sit properly, when she felt someone lightly tap the back of her chair.

She turned around and saw Jiang Liangjin sitting directly behind her, elbow propped on the desk, fingertips holding a pen, "Student in front, no turning around to peek during the test."

Mu Youyu was speechless, "…Who would want to peek."

Mu Youyu handed in her exam early and left the classroom; it was already 10 o'clock when she picked up her phone and saw four missed calls, labeled "Xiao Yu."

She was a friend she had met together with Liu Wanwan and Feng Cen in A City, Yu Yu.

The four of them had always been on good terms in A City, but ever since she transferred to Lan Lin Gaozhong in C City in May, their phone contact had dwindled and they saw each other less.

However, Liu Wanwan and Feng Cen had each come to C City to see her in turn.

Yu Yu rarely gets to use her phone because of family issues, so it's rare for her to be able to call.

And she called four times.

Mu Youyu walked a few steps toward the stairwell before calling back; the phone was quickly answered, "Xiao Yu, what's up? I just finished the test and only now saw your call."

On the other end, instead of her usual clear voice came a choked, sobbing sound, full of grievance and helplessness: "Mu-jie… sorry, I'm currently at Lan Lin; could… could I see you?"

Mu Youyu's fingers on the phone paused, and she felt uneasy.

Lan Lin Gaozhong is in C City, but A City and C City are fairly far apart—it takes over an hour by vehicle.

Yu Yu is usually steady; how could she suddenly come here?

And is she like this because she's being bullied?

She suppressed her doubts, softened her voice: "Are you at the school gate? I'm coming to find you now—don't run around, wait for me."

After the other end responded, Mu Youyu hung up, not waiting for Jiang Liangjin who was going to wash her hands, and ran straight to the school gate.

Beside the guardroom at the school gate, the sun was mostly blocked.

Mu Youyu saw a slender figure curled up on the bench beside the guardroom.

It was Yu Yu.

She wore a white short-sleeve shirt, her hair messy and sticking to both cheeks, her usually neat bangs drooping, covering most of her face.

She had completely lost her usual lively demeanor.

"Xiao Yu!" Mu Youyu called softly.

Yu Yu lifted her head at the sound; the face that usually had baby fat was now pale, lips lacking color, the undersides of her eyes reddened as if she'd been crying a long time.

The moment she saw Mu Youyu, her reddened eyes brightened a bit, and she quickly pulled her mouth into a smile.

She struggled to stand up, but as soon as she moved, her body swayed uncontrollably.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Mu Youyu felt a tightness in her chest and hurried over.

Yu Yu bit her lip, trying to steady herself; after taking a step, her legs gave out and she fell straight forward.

Mu Youyu didn't have time to ask questions; she quickly reached out to support her, feeling how light the person in her arms was, and that her body temperature was a bit low.

"Mu-jie…" Yu Yu's voice was as thin as a mosquito, heavy with nasal congestion; before she could finish speaking, her head tilted, she lost consciousness completely, and went limp in Mu Youyu's arms.

Mu Youyu instinctively touched her head; it felt slightly cool, not feverish.

Her anxiety grew: what was happening?

The guard beside her watched this girl who had been waiting at the gate, sitting for nearly an hour.

At first I was still wondering who this pretty girl was waiting for, but now it turned out to be Mu Family's young lady Mu Youyu; that girl had even fainted, her face full of disbelief.

Hurrying forward, "Hey, Mu classmate, what's wrong with her... Want me to help call 120?"

Mu Youyu steadied the Yu Yu in her arms, "No need."

Calling is too slow.

She turned her head, gave a glance behind her, and a black-suited, tall-built bodyguard appeared from somewhere, "Young lady."

Mu Youyu frowned at the person in her arms, "Take her to the infirmary."

"Yes." The bodyguard nodded, swiftly scooping the girl from her arms in a bent-over hold.

In the infirmary.

Mu Youyu pulled a chair to sit beside the bed, watching Yu Yu's pale sleeping face.

Her long lashes trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth lightly pursed, as if even in sleep she bore a sense of grievance.

She reached out, gently brushing the messy bangs before Yu Yu's forehead; the coolness from her fingertips made her heart sink a little more.

Not long after, the school doctor came over to explain: "The student has nothing serious, just severe low blood sugar, probably from not eating for a long time! Give her some glucose, then replenish some energy and she'll be fine."

While preparing the IV, he couldn't help asking: "Lan Lin Gaozhong serves meals on time, and there's dessert and fruit during the big break—how could she end up with low blood sugar from hunger?"

After all, Lan Lin Gaozhong is an aristocratic high school; although it's also a key school, the school has always had enough time for meals.

It's morning now; if there's morning reading, after it ends there are forty minutes to eat; if not, you have to arrive before 8:10...

During the big break there's still dessert and fruit; he really couldn't understand how this person could have low blood sugar.

Mu Youyu spaced out for a few seconds, "She's not a student here."

"I see." The school doctor had nothing more to say.

Mu Youyu looked at Yu Yu receiving the IV, and her doubts rose again.

Yu Yu, as the sole daughter of the Yu family, one of the four great noble houses of A City, though at Sheng Luo Middle School she can't compare to Liu Wanwan, her grades have always been good.

All subject teachers favor her, even more than they favor Mu Youyu and Liu Wanwan, who are first and second in the grade!

Besides, she's also a close friend of hers, Liu Wanwan, and the school tyrant Feng Cen.

In all her memory, no student would ever provoke her on their own.

Yu Yu also takes good care of herself; her routine has been regular since we met, not to mention three meals a day—she's always punctual.

She really can't figure out how she suddenly got low blood sugar, and even came to C City to find her.

Mu Youyu fell silent for a moment, then dialed Liu Wanwan's number: "Wanwan, Xiao Yu is with me; as soon as she arrived she fainted from low blood sugar—what happened over at Sheng Luo?"

On the other end, the music was blaring deafeningly, and Liu Wanwan's voice came out almost shouting: "Hey? What did you say? It's too noisy, I can't hear!"

Mu Youyu: "......"
