Chapter 193: Chapter 187 Eating Dog Food

Qingran has been sick for two consecutive days, and Xie Ying’an also hasn’t been coming to class for two days.

Old Wu’s complexion was incredibly unpleasant to look at.

But in the office, he had to pretend as if nothing was wrong; his class was just praised by the school authorities for having the top scores in the grade, he couldn’t afford to be criticized by the school for these two who were suspected of "early romance."

As a result, the students in his class suffered, forced to face Old Wu’s grim expression every day.

Huang Qianyu’s complexion was also terrible; she would occasionally furiously turn back to glance at the empty seats of Qingran and Xie Ying’an, muttering curses under her breath.

Ruan Ruan, on the other hand, was not worried; she had been in contact with Qingran these past couple of days and knew that Qingran was at home resting due to a cold.

Ruan Ruan knew well that Qingran wouldn’t reveal anything, yet she still couldn’t help asking; Xie Ying’an hadn’t been to class for two days either, was he at home with her...

Ruan Ruan’s question was interrupted by a familiar male voice coming through the phone: "Time’s up, you can take out the thermometer now."

It was Brother An’s voice, Ruan Ruan held her breath, perking her ears up to the phone.

Then, there was a rustling sound from the other end, probably Qingran handing the thermometer to Xie Ying’an.

Again it was Xie Ying’an’s voice: "36.9°, no fever, does your throat still hurt?"

Qingran: "A little bit."

There was another rustling noise, it wasn’t clear what Xie Ying’an handed to Qingran, but only his voice was heard: "Drink this now."

Qingran refused: "I’ll drink it at night, I just had some at ten o’clock."

"The medication can be taken every four hours, it’s 3 PM now, you’ve already waited five hours," Xie Ying’an’s voice was assertive.

From this end, there was no response from Qingran; knowing her, Ruan Ruan thought, when someone forced her to do something she disliked, she would definitely bow her head in silent rejection.

Ruan Ruan sighed, glanced at the time on her phone, ten minutes of break had already passed by eight minutes, and she was still squatting in the restroom; it was absolutely exhausting.

She was about to hang up when suddenly she heard Brother An’s voice turn extremely soft, coaxing: "Good girl, drink this and you won’t have to at night..."

Ah! Ruan Ruan internally screamed like a prairie dog.

So her Brother An could also sound so soothing?

Ruan Ruan, who was forced to witness this ’couple’s feeding’, felt not disgust but insane jealousy.

She even thought Qingran was somewhat unappreciative; if Brother An personally brought a bowl of medicine to her and said, "Good girl!," not to mention medicine, even poison, she would drink it without hesitation!

The class bell interrupted Ruan Ruan’s wild thoughts, she didn’t even get a chance to hang up the phone as she forcefully turned off her phone and rushed back to the classroom.

This class happened to be Old Wu’s, seeing Ruan Ruan running back to the classroom two minutes after class had started, Old Wu was nearly at his wits’ end.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his temper; his already glum face due to Xie Ying’an’s absence looked even more unpleasant.

"Come in," he said without even looking at Ruan Ruan who stood at the classroom door, continuing with the lesson.

Actually, at this time, it was mostly used for reviewing and consolidating previously learned material, with no new knowledge being taught.

One might think Old Wu, being so furious, would detain them to preach some moral lessons, but as soon as the bell rang, he grabbed his textbooks and left without looking back.

The two top students of the first class, who were desk mates, had both been absent from class for two consecutive days, sparking intense curiosity among the classmates.

As it happened to be break time, a few girls gathered and whispered about this matter; even some of the bookworms couldn’t help but prick up their ears to listen secretly.

Bookworms think a bit differently from others; upon learning that Li Qingran had rapidly improved recently, possibly due to an early romance with the top student Xie Ying’an, they wondered, if that was the case, should they also randomly fall in love with someone knowledgeable to visibly boost their grades?

Thus, the top ten boys in the grade were secretly added to their list of prime early romance candidates.

Before the second class began, Old Wu made another trip to the classroom, which quickly quieted down upon his arrival.

Old Wu was holding a stack of test papers in his hand. He stood at the podium, surveyed the classroom, and then asked, "Who here lives close to Li Qingran’s home?"

Today was Saturday, and there was no class tomorrow. Old Wu holding a stack of test papers and calling out Li Qingran made it clear he did not plan to leave her alone even over the weekend.

Under Old Wu’s gaze, Ruan Ruan reluctantly raised her hand: "Teacher, my home is close to Qingran’s."

Old Wu nodded, satisfied, and stepped down from the podium, handing the test papers to Ruan Ruan: "Since you live close to Li Qingran’s home, you can take this stack of test papers to her."

"Okay." Ruan Ruan nodded.

It was only after taking the test papers that she realized they weren’t as thin as they appeared. In just one day, how much did Old Wu expect a sick person to do?

Then, Ruan Ruan heard the message Old Wu asked her to convey verbally to Qingran: "Tell them... the latest by next Wednesday, all these test papers need to be completed and turned in."

He paused specifically when he said ’them’.

Ruan Ruan swallowed, only able to respond with "okay."

She secretly shed a sympathetic tear for Qingran and Brother An, thinking that offending Old Wu meant even the top students wouldn’t be spared.

On Saturday mornings there usually were no evening self-study sessions. As school was about to end, Ruan Ruan secretly took out her phone to message Song Shize, asking if he wanted to go with her to Qingran’s home.

Song Shize never turned off his phone, able to reply instantly even during class.

Song Shize: Not going.

Oh boy, Ruan Ruan was surprised, he even refused to go to Qingran’s home, had he changed?

Song Shize quickly texted again: Why go to her house?

With the teacher still sitting on the podium, Ruan Ruan dared not openly type. As she wasn’t adept at touch typing, asking her deskmate Wen Shiyi to keep a lookout was even more out of the question.

She had no choice but to pocket her phone into the desk slot, planning to text Song Shize after school.

The school bell rang soon after, and the teacher sitting on the podium left a pile of homework, nonchalantly brushing off the chalk dust before leaving.

At that moment, even though the homework assigned was insurmountable, no student was sighing or complaining.

Ruan Ruan took out her phone from the desk slot and looked down to see, sure enough, Song Shize, with his quick temper, had sent a pile of messages. The last one read: It’s annoying talking in halves, I can’t be bothered with you.

By this point, Ruan Ruan had no concerns and directly sent a voice message.

Unexpectedly, a red exclamation mark appeared preceding the voice message.

The interface kindly suggested: Lord Song has enabled friend verification; you are not yet his friend. Please first send a friend verification request, and upon approval, you can chat.

Below it, there were a few blue words saying "Send friend verification".

Ruan Ruan was furious, slamming the phone onto the desk.

Wen Shiyi, who was packing her books, gave her a puzzled look. Being her deskmate, she also asked concernedly: "What’s wrong?"

Ruan Ruan didn’t want to tell Wen Shiyi about it and shook her head: "It’s nothing."

Wen Shiyi turned back around without further words, Liang Fan was still waiting for her outside. She grabbed a few books and left.
