Chapter 160: A Weekend Without Returning to the Dorm, a Roommate Almost Died (Revised)

In the infirmary, Li Ya was helping Luo Jinyou remove the last bandage, moving professionally.

After a weekend of rest and the aid of special medication, the wounds on Luo Jinyou's body caused by various "accidents" have healed almost completely, leaving only faint traces.

"All right, when you go back, be careful not to do strenuous exercise; mainly, you bumped your head before, so watch it more."

Li Ya placed all the removed bandages onto a tray, preparing to take them away later.

Luo Jinyou moved his body a bit, finally freeing himself from the restraints, and felt considerably lighter.

This weekend was probably the toughest two days for him; the game console sat on his bedside table, within arm's reach, yet he couldn't move, wrapped up like a mummy from Old World history.

In fact, at his recovery rate, he could have removed the bandages and returned to his dorm on Saturday afternoon, but Li Ya had received a request from Professor Luo De'an, who stubbornly switched the medicine to a gentler nourishing ointment, keeping him in the infirmary for the whole weekend.

No wonder the professor worries so much; Luo Jinyou and Ying Duo have only been roommates a short time, yet Ying Duo has already gone to the hospital several times?

And Ying Duo's notorious reputation has already spread, so it's probably impossible to find anyone willing to swap rooms with Luo Jinyou.

"Actually, you could also move in with Professor Luo De'an; the faculty dorm is much more spacious…"

Li Ya tried to persuade him, but Luo Jinyou just shook his head.

"Li Ya, thank you for your concern, but I won't move out."

When facing Ying Duo, a strange sense of affection always rises in his heart; they are kindred spirits.

Luo Jinyou was about to say goodbye to Li Ya and then return to his dorm to fetch his books for class when he heard a chaotic clatter of footsteps outside the infirmary.

"Clang!"

The infirmary door was ripped open by brute force, and with Qi Hengyu's urgent shout, a group burst in.

"Li Ya! Help! Someone's life is at stake!!"

Qi Hengyu entered in a dramatically forceful princess‑carry, cradling Ying Guang Lu—whom they had just whispered about—in his arms, storming in.

He had wildly disheveled black hair, a streak of red dye at his forehead resembling a rooster's comb, his pajamas stained with glaring blood, bare large feet, and a face full of anxiety and panic.

Shen Zexi fared no better, also in pajamas, his hair blown into a chaotic nest, clutching two bulging backpacks in a frantic manner, clearly having sprinted here.

And Ying Duo, gently held in Qi Hengyu's arms, wore a look of serene calm, though the hoodie on his body seemed a shade darker than usual…?

Ying Duo instantly spotted Luo Jinyou standing beside the bed, already bandage‑free, and naturally raised his hand in a wave, as if to greet him.

His lips moved, but no sound came out.

"Plop—"

A mouthful of bright red blood spurted unexpectedly from his mouth under everyone's gaze; the amount was small, yet against the sterile white of the infirmary and Ying Duo's own glowing green, the visual was downright horrifying.

Luo Jinyou: "!!!"

His pupils dilated instantly; they hadn't seen each other for two days, and Ying Duo had already turned himself into this state?!

What did Qi Hengyu and Shen Zexi do to him?!

Ying Duo seemed accustomed, wiping the blood from his mouth with his sleeve, and continued.

"Good morning."

"Stop it! Quickly put the person on the bed!" Luo Jinyou shouted, stepping aside from the bedside, his voice altered in tone.

Qi Hengyu hurried a few steps forward, clumsily placing Ying Duo onto the newly cleared bed.

Ying Duo cooperated, adjusting his posture himself, lying down; if not for the blood still at his mouth, he looked more like someone being tended to and put to bed.

Li Ya was also stunned.

She stared at the peacefully lying Ying Guang Lu, unsure what expression to make.

This weekend, to prevent Luo Jinyou from being harmed by this guy, Professor Luo De'an specifically had her keep Luo Jinyou, extending his stay by two more days.

How is it that only on Monday morning, the source of trouble has already turned itself into this state?

Unable to find anyone else, it points the blame at itself and starts self‑harm?

How much blood is that, anyway?!

Fortunately, Li Ya's professional competence still had the upper hand.

She immediately stepped forward, shoving Qi Hengyu aside, glanced up and down a few times, and her fingertips emitted soft white specks of light, pressing against Ying Duo's chest to begin a careful examination.

As the ability probed deeper, her brows furrowed increasingly.

"This internal injury is not light," Li Ya said seriously.

"It likely damaged internal organs, showing signs of bleeding; if not treated promptly, it could leave hidden risks."

She glanced at Ying Duo's still expressionless face, pursed her lips, then looked at the two nervous, pajama‑clad 'perpetrators' beside him, finally sighing.

"Fortunately, you carried him like that; at least you didn't hoist him over a shoulder…"

If it had been shouldered, it could have caused more severe compression of the organs, leading to greater injury.

"That's right—I'm talking to you, kid."

Li Ya's hands emitted an even brighter white light, the gentle, warm energy slowly flowing into Ying Duo's body, beginning to repair the damaged tissues.

Ying Duo's internal injuries were far more severe than Luo Jinyou's, but fortunately Qi Hengyu still had some sense, unlike the earlier time when Ying Duo shouldered Luo Jinyou, which had worsened Ying Duo's condition.

Although a princess‑carry also compresses the organs, it's still better than a free‑wheeling shoulder clash.

While treating, Li Ya began to consider whether the school should add a basic medical knowledge course.

But would anyone actually choose that class?

Taking advantage of Li Ya's treatment, Shen Zexi tugged at the still‑standing figure by the bed, eyeing the blood‑stained mouth of Ying Duo and the frantic Qi Hengyu, signaling him to follow her out.

The two grabbed their backpacks and slipped into the infirmary's private restroom.

"Hurry and change clothes."

Shen Zexi handed Qi Hengyu his clothes and… a pair of shoes, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Grateful, huh? I still remembered to bring you a pair of shoes."

Only then did Qi Hengyu become aware of the sour ache and coldness in his soles; he looked down at his dirty feet, then at the shoes Shen Zexi offered, a embarrassed expression flashing across his face as he muttered:

"…Thanks."

Using the cold tap water in the restroom, the two hastily wiped their faces, then turned their backs to each other and quickly changed into clean clothes, shedding that overly disheveled outfit.

When they had finished cleaning up and returned to the infirmary, Teacher Li Ya's treatment seemed to be nearing its end, with Luo Jinyou anxiously watching from the side.

After the two finally came out of the toilet, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Who would understand? Not returning to the dorm for a weekend, his roommate almost died.
