Chapter 243: Chapter 235: Administering Medicine

On the way back, Xie Ying’an didn’t sit with Qingran anymore; as soon as he got on the bus, he sat next to Li Qingmo at the back.

He had a stern expression, his eyes closed, feigning sleep, emanating an aura screaming "I’m very angry."

Four big characters.

Even the thick-skinned Li Qingmo sensed something was amiss. He put down the half-eaten lunch box, bumped Xie Ying’an’s shoulder, and asked, "What’s up? Did Li Qingran annoy you?"

Xie Ying’an continued to feign sleep with closed eyes, ignoring Li Qingmo’s words.

Cheerful as always, Li Qingmo didn’t mind that much; he picked up his lunch box again, eating heartily, and still hopeful, asked Xie Ying’an, "Aren’t you going to eat something?"

Xie Ying’an remained silent.

Eat my foot. After seeing that scene in the café, he was practically full of anger.

Sitting alone, Qingran also felt somewhat nervous; she occasionally looked back at Xie Ying’an, who kept his eyes closed, refusing to glance at her.

Tsk! Quite a temper.

It seemed this time he wouldn’t be easy to appease.

After leaving the café, Qingran tried catching up with Xie Ying’an all the way but couldn’t. Xie Ying’an, angered and walking swiftly, had lost all his usual sickly frailty.

After finishing the lunch box, the bus was ready to depart, and Xie Ying’an still showed no signs of wanting to return.

Xie Ying’an didn’t return, but Fang Jin quietly took a seat.

"Qingran," she sat next to Qingran and took out the medicine she hadn’t managed to give from her pocket, handing it to Qingran, "I tried to give this medicine to Xie Ying’an, but he didn’t take it."

Not only did he not take it, but when he saw that Qingran hadn’t come back with her, his face changed almost instantly from sickly to a furious one, and coldly he asked her where Li Qingran had gone?

Having known him for many years, Fang Jin had never seen Xie Ying’an behave like this, and for a moment, was at a loss for words.

Xie Ying’an didn’t wait for her to speak; he pushed her aside and hurriedly got off the bus.

Qingran took the medicine from Fang Jin’s hand, expressing her frustrations somewhat helplessly, "I was just talking to Professor Lin, and Xie Ying’an..."

She pointed her fingers towards Xie Ying’an at the back, finding it somewhat hard to articulate, "He... he... he just got mad, which is really petty."

Fang Jin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, candidly disclosing, "Xu Liang is just like that too."

No matter what, Xu Liang is legitimate; he has a proper status, so it’s justified for him to be angry.

But what right does Xie Ying’an have to be angry?

The two strangely finding common ground, Fang Jin advised her, "He’s already showing such jealousy before you two are even together; Qingran, don’t indulge him. The more you indulge men like him, the more they think they can have it all."

Qingran nodded thoughtfully, looked at the medicine in her hand, and then at Fang Jin, hesitatingly saying, "But arguing with a sick person, isn’t that unkind?"

Fang Jin nodded in agreement, "That’s true, he is sick after all, maybe it’s not good to treat him like this?"

"However," Fang Jin lowered her voice, asking the question she had been holding back, "What exactly did Professor Lin call you over for?"

Everyone is curious, Fang Jin’s curiosity isn’t really strong.

If it had been Ruan Ruan who came today, she might have already pried to the bottom of it.

Qingran paused; she hadn’t planned on telling anyone her dad was sponsoring Lin Zhou’s education, so she vaguely brushed it off, "It’s a long story, I’ll tell you more when we have time. I should go give Xie Ying’an his medicine first."

It wasn’t feasible to let Xie Ying’an keep burning up like that, in case he really did burn stupid.

Fang Jin nodded, "Right, right, the medicine is the priority; his stubborn temper..."

Fang Jin patted Qingran’s shoulder, pretended to sigh, and walked away.

Xie Ying’an, let alone taking medication, was not even willing to open his eyes.

Li Qing Mo, with his fiery temper, had no effect when facing Xie Ying’an. He walked over to Qingran’s seat, tossed the medicine to her, and snapped: "If he won’t eat it, let him die!"

After that, he swaggered off to another seat, not sitting next to Xie Ying’an anymore.

The implication was clear, he wanted Qingran to persuade Xie Ying’an to take the medicine.

Holding the medicine, Qingran also lost her temper. She had bought the medicine back; whether Xie Ying’an ate it was his problem, not hers, since she wasn’t the one sick or feeling uncomfortable. She thought, "Whatever happens, happens."

Qingran’s stubbornness lasted less than ten minutes before she resignedly left her seat and walked back.

She sat down in the empty seat next to Xie Ying’an, and as the familiar fragrance wafted over, Xie Ying’an’s eyelids twitched, but he continued to feign sleep.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Qingran quietly asked him.

"..."

"Do you want to take some medicine?" Qingran continued to ask.

"..."

"Do you still have a fever?" Qingran asked once more.

"..."

Ha! Xie Ying’an sneered inwardly. Previously, she used to check if he had a fever by touching his forehead, but now, she just asks without even touching it?

As Xie Ying’an continued to play dead, Qingran could only helplessly explain: "I just exchanged a few words with Lin Zhou, and only took a couple of sips of coffee."

At this point, Xie Ying’an slowly opened his eyes and added indifferently: "In the time it took to drink two sips of coffee, you two exchanged WeChat contacts."

The resentment in his tone almost spilled out.

Qingran: "..."

Unbeatable, dammit! Are Xie Ying’an’s eyes that sharp?

She did scan the WeChat QR code, but she hadn’t added him yet!

"Stop it!" Qingran opened up the medicine, took out a white pill, and forcefully popped it into Xie Ying’an’s mouth, uttering for the first time something against her conscience: "He’s already a married man."

As her fingertips pressed on his soft lips, Xie Ying’an was startled and almost subconsciously opened his mouth.

The pill, along with the girl’s fingertips, entered his mouth, causing Xie Ying’an’s body to stiffen. At that moment, he no longer found the pill bitter and unpleasant.

With her usual composure, Qingran withdrew her hand, the ticklish sensation lingering on the fingertips that had touched his lips. She rubbed them on her clothing, but the ticklish feeling persisted.

After taking the medicine, Xie Ying’an continued to pretend to sleep, but a faint redness gradually appeared around his ears, which Qingran did not notice. She was just relieved that Xie Ying’an was unusually agreeable today.

Could it be that even when Xie Ying’an was very angry, it wasn’t as hard to appease him as she thought?

She was pondering this when she heard Xie Ying’an’s somewhat hoarse voice: "Knowing he’s a married man, you should keep your distance from him in the future."

Qingran: "... Oh."

She wasn’t attending F University, so the chances of her meeting Lin Zhou in the future were uncertain anyway.

Some people, one might not meet them for a lifetime, and that wasn’t impossible.

The bus ride was relatively smooth. During the trip, Old Wu and the head teacher excitedly came to find them several times, asking if they had some nice ID photos on their phones.

Learning that they didn’t, they advised them to get some taken when they were free.

The journey felt energetic and full of laughter, especially the head teacher’s laughter was the loudest.

By the time they reached home, it was already 6 o’clock. Aunt Liu started cooking as soon as she received the itinerary announced by Li Qing Mo on the bus.

When they got home, the meals were ready and had been waiting for them for a while.

"By the way," Aunt Liu said to Qingran: "A girl called you today, said something about dancing at school; she twisted her foot during rehearsal, it might be quite serious, asked for your help with ’saving the day’ in her words. She tried your phone but couldn’t get through, so she called our home instead."
