Chapter 103: This bastard really deserves to die!

Before Shen Li could speak, she was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Zixin's voice coming from the side: "Break up? Break up what? What are you two breaking up over? Are you two dating?"

"When did this happen?"

It was just class dismissal time, and they were starving. These two didn't know how long they would be chatting, so they just came over to find them, only to hear Xie Qin say "just break up."

"He's dating a hammer. He's definitely not a single dog right now, just a pure simp." Xu Zhouyuan laughed gloatingly, returning the boomerang of what Xie Qin had just said directly to him: "People, you have to have self-awareness. If you're ugly, study more. Why learn to date."

"Being a simp is the same, no future."

Xie Qin sat in his seat, smiling in a way that was both rogue and bad, his fingertips tapping on the table: "How can being a simp compare to you? It's not like I learned it from someone."

Fuck! Holy crap!

Xu Zhouyuan jumped up immediately: "Xie Qin! Shut up! Shut your mouth right now!"

Zhou Mingyu and Qiao Lang on the side quickly pulled him back.

Zhou Mingyu also smiled: "No need, no need... calm down, we can't beat him."

Zhang Zixin sensed something was wrong and narrowed her eyes dangerously. She wasn't stupid; once things were pointed out to this extent, she guessed it immediately.

She reached out and grabbed his ear, pulling him up: "Xu Zhouyuan, you're quite good at playing, aren't you!"

"Ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts... Wife, be gentle, listen to my explanation, this is all ancient history, something from hundreds of years ago. I was just possessed."

"I almost forgot about it. On the day of high school graduation, this idiot Xu Zhouyuan acted cool like in a TV show, playing the guitar and singing to confess to someone on the playground, with snot and tears." Zhou Mingyu also remembered, laughing more the more he talked: "Simped for three years, didn't even touch her hand."

This dark history from his middle-school years was dragged out and whipped repeatedly. Xu Zhouyuan wanted to die.

Coming out of the East Campus gate, Zhang Zixin and Shen Li walked together. Across the street was the lively university shopping mall.

Xu Zhouyuan had a clear red five-finger print on his face, his eyes full of bitterness and grievance. His resentful gaze wanted to poke a hole in Xie Qin's back.

Damn it!

This bastard really deserves to die!

He deserves to die!

However, just as Shen Li passed that education institution, through the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw that familiar figure again. The unkempt Yang Zhou was holding a cardboard box, walking out from inside. His hair was a bit messy, he hadn't shaved, there were many gray hairs at his temples, and he looked haggard.

Zhou Mingyu urged: "Hurry, hurry, let's go, lest we be seen by that shrew and get entangled again."

The green light turned on.

Xie Qin on the side noticed the person who was still in a daze and hooked her shoulder, bringing her across.

Shen Li came back to her senses, feeling that he had also seen her, and slowly withdrew her gaze.

In her mind, she inadvertently thought of the patient in the hospital whose hair had been shaved off.

When she spoke to her, her sickly appearance seemed as if she could leave at any moment.

Shen Li wasn't a meddlesome person, but this matter alone had been on her mind for a long, long time...

Thinking of those scenes.

Her heart was struggling, as if making a decision that was difficult and impossible to choose.

"... If you still can't raise the money to pay the remaining hospitalization and medical fees, the hospital will have to stop the medication, and you'll have to go back for conservative treatment."

"Dr. Xu, is there really no room for negotiation? Can you give me a little more time?"

"I have leukemia. Did my appearance scare you?"

"No."

"..."

"You must eat more; you will get better."

Shen Li still remembered the smile on the woman's face when she was comforted.

She... really didn't have much time left.

Because his performance didn't meet the standard, Yang Zhou was complained about by parents, and because the students' grades didn't improve, he was fired.

The cardboard box he was holding had a hole in the bottom, and everything scattered all over the ground.

When it rains, it pours.

Shen Li turned her head to look one last time, seeing him squatting on the ground, miserably picking up those materials.

A restaurant that had just opened and had a very good environment.

Shen Li couldn't eat many things, so Xie Qin ordered a claypot porridge for her separately.

Zhang Zixin and Xu Zhouyuan were having a conflict, so she sat with Shen Li, separated by Qiao Lang.

When the dishes were served, Shen Li was alone, her thoughts drifting away, lowering her head to drink the porridge.

She was a bit absent-minded.

"What's wrong with you? You like to space out while eating?" Xie Qin stared at her for a long while and put some greens in her bowl.

"Did your brain break from being sick?"

Shen Li: Your brain is the one that's broken.

She could only complain about this big spender in her heart.

Shen Li drank the pork rib and yam porridge in her bowl. It was very thick, but the taste was bland, and she couldn't taste anything.

It wasn't very good.

She didn't want to talk to him either.

Should she just sit by and ignore it?

But if you really calculate it, this matter had nothing to do with her in the first place.

The scene that kept playing over and over in her mind made her lose her appetite.

A moment later.

Suddenly.

"Ding!" Shen Li suddenly stood up, the spoon hitting the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound.

This action drew everyone's gaze.

"Holy crap, you scared me. What's wrong?" Zhou Mingyu looked at Shen Li.

Xie Qin also looked at her: "I just treated you to a bowl of porridge; even if it's good, there's no need to be this excited."

"I'm going to the restroom." Leaving this sentence, she turned and left.

Zhang Zixin was puzzled: "Going to the restroom, why take your bag?"

Xu Zhouyuan silently reached out and tugged at Zhang Zixin's sleeve, humbly begging for mercy: "Wife, I want to eat fish."

Zhang Zixin didn't give him a good look: "If you want to eat, ask your little sweetheart to pick it for you, none of my business."

She said to Xie Qin: "Why don't you follow her and see? I feel like she has something on her mind."

The hospital was filled with the lingering smell of disinfectant. Shen Li walked into the ward only after Yang Zhou had left.

She had been here once and remembered the way.

She took off her hoodie and walked closer with light steps.

By the bedside.

The woman who had just closed her eyes not long ago probably wasn't sleeping comfortably, so she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the person appearing by the bed, she was a bit surprised: "It's you, why are you here?"

Shen Li saw that she seemed even weaker than last time.

Her voice was very weak, barely audible: "You're here to find Teacher Yang, right? He went out... he'll be back in a while."

"Sit down first, wait a moment."

Shen Li pressed her lips together, her expression always flat. She looked at her for a long while, then her gaze fell on the thermos on the bedside table.

The woman felt that this child was also very strange. She was so beautiful but didn't like to talk. She probably saw something and smiled very gently at her: "I just took my medicine and have no appetite. The porridge hasn't been touched and is still hot. If you don't mind, take it and eat it."

Shen Li looked at her and nodded: "Mm."

Because Yang Zhou was fired, his source of income was cut off. The hospital urged him to pay the fees; if he didn't pay, they would have to stop the medication. He was at his wit's end, so he had no choice but to go to the bank and mortgage his car for a loan.

With the hundred thousand yuan he got, he paid the medical expenses owed to the hospital, but there wasn't much money left in his hands, at most enough to last half a month.

After paying the bill and returning to the ward with the little money left on the card, he saw... ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
