Vol V Chapter 33
Yi Meng, I know you might not see it if I write it, but it's a form of self-encouragement. There's one thing that you haven't asked and I haven't told you. Why do I like you? I wasn't sure at the beginning, but it's been a while.
Because she came back to look for me, I hesitated. I would also ask myself, and then slowly believe that it was true. At first, I had a good impression of you and wanted to take good care of you. I remember seeing your status: I came back just to confirm with you
At that time, I was also confused about my relationship and didn't want you to be hurt alone. My thoughts were very simple. At that time, I thought that maybe he could take good care of you. After all, I never did a good job. I didn't open your heart. I hope he can do it.
I walked through your world, leaving nothing behind. I only hope that you will remember that I treated you well, a very pure kindness. However, this is only what I think. Perhaps it's just a burden to you, so forget about it.
When I was in despair, I always wanted to find someone to entrust myself to. I hoped that there would be someone to confide in. You are my only one, Yi Meng!
Xiao Lin to Yuan Yimeng
In the past few days, Nanchang seemed to have fallen from autumn to winter without any warning. The sky was dark and it rained continuously for three to four days. The temperature became very low, and the raindrops that dripped on his face were cold. Moreover, because the National Chung-Cheng University was surrounded by lakes, there would be strong winds whenever it rained. Other than during classes and meals, the roads were mostly filled with cars.
The ground was wet everywhere, and the rain had drowned the grass. The trees were listless, and their leaves were weakly swayed by the strong wind. The slanting wind blew the rainwater over, causing the corridor of the dormitory to be filled with water. The moisture in the air seeped through the crack of the door, making the bedroom damp. It was impossible to exercise outdoors in this weather, and people seemed to be in low spirits. People with poor physical fitness were most likely to fall sick in this season.
At night, Xiao Lin sent Yuan Yi a text message before he went to bed." Xiao Meng, the weather is getting cold. Remember to wear more clothes. Don't catch a cold. Don't get your hair wet on rainy days." You have to take good care of yourself. If you don't want to go out, stay in the dormitory and sleep for a while.”
Yuan Yimeng sent a message over." I'm not a child. Why are you like my father? You're so long-winded."”
However, in Xiao Lin's eyes, Yuan Yimeng was just a child. She was willful and cute. She only celebrated her eighteenth birthday on August 20th this summer.
Xiao Lin put his phone on the bed and fell asleep. He didn't know how long he had slept for, but he seemed to hear his phone ring again in his dream. However, he didn't quite believe it because other than Bai Bingying calling in the middle of the night, no one else had called since they broke up.
Xiao Lin thought he was hearing things, but the ringtone stopped. After a while, it rang again. Xiao Lin reluctantly reached out for his phone and hid under the blanket to see that it was Bai Bingying's number. Xiao Lin hesitated. Should he pick it up or not? He thought that she must have something on, or else she wouldn't have called so late.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Xiao Lin whispered under the blanket, not wanting to wake up his roommates.
"Xiao Lin, my stomach is so uncomfortable, so painful.”Bai Bingying's weak voice sounded.
"Are you cold? Is there any painkiller in the dormitory?”Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel worried.
"I woke up at two o'clock. I don't know. It must be cold. I'm fine now. I'm sorry for disturbing you.”
"We're still friends. Go to sleep and let me know if you need any help.”Xiao Lin comforted her.
Bai Bingying agreed and hung up. Xiao Lin rubbed his eyes. It was only half past four. When he looked at the date, he immediately understood that today was the 14th. Although Bai Bingying was trying to be brave, she was still a weak girl. Every time her period came, she would be sick for a few days. When he first got together with her, Xiao Lin would always be nervous at times like this, afraid of making her angry. Later on, he slowly got used to it.
Xiao Lin yawned, put his phone back, and fell asleep.
At 7:40 in the morning, Li Feng's phone alarm rang on time. Xiao Lin thought of Bai Bingying's call in the middle of the night and felt like it was happening in a dream. After that, he slept until dawn, and Xiao Lin didn't hear his phone ring again.
When he woke up, he opened his phone and saw that there were two missed calls from Bai Bingying. One was at 4:15, and the other was at 5:20. Xiao Lin wondered why he was sleeping so soundly and didn't feel anything at all. He looked at his phone carefully and realized that he had subconsciously muted it.
After washing up, Xiao Lin, Yang Yu, and the others bought breakfast and brought it to the classroom. During class in the morning, Xiao Lin always felt uneasy. Although the two of them had broken up, she would still think of herself when she was at her most uncomfortable and helpless. Xiao Lin felt a little guilty. Even though it was Bai Bingying who had proposed to break up with him, and he had tried to persuade her to stay many times, it still ended up like this. However, no matter what, the two of them had given their hearts and invested their feelings.
During the break, Xiao Lin called Bai Bingying, but she didn't pick up. Xiao Lin didn't feel relieved because of this. Instead, he became even more worried about her.
Bai Bingying only called Xiao Lin back when it was time for class. Xiao Lin sneaked out from the back door when the teacher wasn't paying attention.
"How are you? Are you feeling better now?" Xiao Lin was still very worried about her.
"I couldn't sleep after that. My stomach hurt, my head was dizzy, and I didn't have any appetite.”Bai Bingying said weakly.
"Yuanyuan, where are Shuyu and the others?" Xiao Lin asked anxiously.
"They wanted to accompany me to the hospital, but I said it was fine and let them go to class.”Bai Bingying breathed heavily.
"Wait in the dormitory. I'll come over immediately to take you to the school infirmary.”Before Bai Bingying could refuse, Xiao Lin hung up the phone.
After that, Xiao Lin sneaked back to the classroom and asked for leave from the teacher, explaining that he was not feeling well. The teacher was very understanding and agreed to let Xiao Lin leave.
Xiao Lin panted as he ran towards Bai Bingying's dormitory. It was still raining. Xiao Lin held an umbrella in his hand, but he didn't open it. Because he considered that it would be inconvenient to run with an umbrella up. Moreover, he could not care less about the water droplets dripping on his body now.
Xiao Lin ran to the fifth dormitory building and stopped in his tracks, waiting for the girls to swipe the door card. Xiao Lin followed the girl inside. The girl turned around and looked at Xiao Lin in surprise. Xiao Lin completely ignored him and walked straight to the dormitory auntie's window. He said to the inside,""Auntie, Auntie, are you there?"
The dormitory auntie stuck her head out. When she saw that it was a boy, her face drooped. "Hey, boy, didn't you see the words 'Men only allow'?”The auntie pointed at the four big words written on the bulletin board.
Xiao Lin quickly took out his student card and handed it to the auntie." Aunty, I'm really sorry. I also know that our school has this rule. Boys are not allowed to enter the girls 'dormitory. But now my girlfriend has a high fever and needs to be sent to the school hospital immediately. I'll sign my name on the registration book and put my student card here. I'll go up and carry her to see your doctor. She lives in S407. I hope you can understand.”
Xiao Lin called Bai Bingying his girlfriend, thinking that it would be more acceptable for the auntie. If they were just normal friends, they wouldn't have come to the girls 'dormitory.
Seeing Xiao Lin's anxious expression, the dormitory auntie's words were reasonable and her attitude was sincere, so she had already decided to help Xiao Lin. The auntie took out the dormitory list to check." What's your girlfriend's name?”
"Her name is Bai Bingying, a student from the School of Communication. Her dorm number is S407.”
The auntie found Bai Bingying's name on the list and said to Xiao Lin,"Put your student card here first. Sign your name on the registration book and fill in the current time. When you come down later, write down the time of your departure and take your student card.”
Xiao Lin thanked the auntie for her understanding and lowered his head to write his name. Cold water droplets slid down his face.
After Xiao Lin finished writing, he hurriedly climbed up the stairs and came to Bai Bingying's bedroom door. He was so tired that he took deep breaths. "Yingying, it's me, Xiao Lin."
Xiao Lin knocked on the door. It had been a long time since he had called her by her nickname " Ying Ying ". It was only when they were dating that Xiao Lin would call her so affectionately.
After a while, Bai Bingying got up in her pajamas and opened the door. She looked haggard, her hair was messy, and her lips were pale. She looked at Xiao Lin with anger in her eyes, perhaps because she couldn't imagine that Xiao Lin would really come.
Seeing Bai Bingying like this, Xiao Lin felt a little sad. Compared to the lively and cheerful Bai Bingying in the past, she was like a completely different person. "Change your clothes. We'll go to the school infirmary now.”
Xiao Lin stood outside the door, waiting for Bai Bingying to change before opening the door again. Xiao Lin stepped forward and helped her down the stairs. He went to the dormitory auntie to get the student card, wrote down the time of departure, walked out of the fifth dormitory building, and walked to the school infirmary.
The two of them held an umbrella, which seemed a little small. Xiao Lin was worried that Bai Bingying's condition would worsen after the rain, so he insisted on carrying her on his back and letting her hold the umbrella.
"I haven't carried you for a long time. You've become heavier. You must be over a hundred now.”Xiao Lin joked.
Bai Bingying lay on Xiao Lin's back, not saying a word, but a blissful smile appeared on her face. It was as if he had found that sense of security and belonging on Xiao Lin's back.
"Yingying, please fasten your seatbelt. We're leaving.”Bai Bingying reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Xiao Lin's neck.
The National Zhongcheng University infirmary was built to provide health services for all teachers and students. As long as one showed their campus card, they could enjoy a 10% discount on the hospital's medicine, so that all teachers and students could feel the humane care of the school. However, due to the limited equipment in the infirmary, they could only provide conventional treatment.
The school infirmary was a two-story building, facing the Changsheng Garden cafeteria across the road. The outer walls of the building were all white, symbolizing the angel in white. There was a red cross hanging above the main door, and the eaves were covered by a large transparent glass.
As soon as he entered the door, he could see sixteen big red words embedded under the guardrail on the second floor of the hall." Caring for life, people-oriented, ethical medicine, quality service." Below the big words was the window of the medicine collection area. On the right side of the door was the registration window. On the left side of the door and window were the words " Emergency Room " and " Observation Room ".
Xiao Lin walked into the hall and gently put Bai Bingying down from his back. He helped her sit on a chair in the hall. Xiao Lin took her student card to the window to register and accompanied her to the internal medicine office. There were two girls inside who were seeing a doctor. After a while, the girls walked out, and Xiao Lin and the others went in. The doctor was a middle-aged woman wearing a pair of glasses.
"Have a seat. Is this girl sick?”the doctor said when he saw Xiao Lin and Bai Bingying enter.
Xiao Lin asked Bai Bingying to sit down and placed her registration book in front of the doctor while he stood at the side. "Yes, doctor. I don't know if she has a cold.”
The doctor looked at Bai Bingying, who was sitting opposite him, and said to her,"Miss, do you want him to leave?”
Seeing this, Xiao Lin was about to walk out." Then I'll wait for you outside."”
Bai Bingying hurriedly grabbed Xiao Lin and looked at him pleadingly.""He's my boyfriend. It's okay.”
After the doctor listened to Bai Bingying's description of her symptoms, he asked Bai Bingying to take out the thermometer under her armpit. After taking a look, he said that Bai Bingying had a low fever. The doctor gave two suggestions for Xiao Lin and Bai Bingying to consider. One was to go to the observation room and get two bottles of IV drip and some medicine. That way, he would recover faster. The second was to take the medicine directly without the drip. Xiao Lin thought that the drip would help her recover faster, so he chose the first suggestion and asked the doctor to write a prescription for her.
The doctor asked Xiao Lin to bring Bai Bingying into the observation room. There was a bed and a few chairs in the observation room. The iron bars next to them were used to hang the IV drip. The room was air-conditioned, so the temperature was higher. Because Bai Bingying didn't sleep much last night, Xiao Lin asked the medical staff about it. After getting permission, Xiao Lin helped Bai Bingying take off her shoes and coat, lay her on the bed, and covered her with the blanket. Xiao Lin sat beside her, his arm held by Bai Bingying's hand.
Bai Bingying looked at Xiao Lin with her eyes half-open.""Actually, I don't want to get an IV drip. I've been afraid of injections since I was young. It hurts. But I don't want to disappoint you. I know you have a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.”
Xiao Lin remembered that when they were still together, Bai Bingying often joked that he had OCD. Xiao Lin didn't mind. He had never thought of changing his ways. He always thought that he was doing it for Bai Bingying's own good. Now that they had broken up, looking back, it was indeed her fault more often than not.
At this moment, a nurse came in with two iron plates containing two bottles of IV drip. She placed the IV drip on the iron rod and inserted a long, transparent needle into the IV drip. She adjusted the frequency of the drip. Then, she asked Bai Bingying to stretch out her right hand and tie her wrist with a rubber band. After a few seconds, the blocked blood vessels protruded.
The nurse first smeared some cotton wool on Bai Bingying's blood vessels, then slowly inserted the needle into the blood vessels. Xiao Lin looked at Bai Bingying, who was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed and her teeth biting her lips. Xiao Lin couldn't bear to see this. Perhaps he should be the one to bear the main responsibility for the breakdown of this relationship.
When Bai Bingying fell asleep, Xiao Lin pulled her hand into the blanket and quietly walked out. Xiao Lin told the nurse to buy some breakfast. Bai Bingying was probably still hungry, so he asked the nurse to take care of her.
Xiao Lin went to the cafeteria of Changsheng Garden and bought Bai Bingying's favorite Lan Zhou ramen. He didn't forget to add some vinegar for her. In the past, whenever she ate noodles with her, Bai Bingying would always pour some vinegar into it. She said that adding some vinegar to the noodles was good for her stomach. Although Xiao Lin would always tease her for saying things without scientific basis, he had never forgotten this habit of hers. After buying breakfast, Xiao Lin went to the supermarket to buy her a box of milk and some fruits.
After returning to the observation room, Xiao Lin gently put the things down. There was still more than half a bottle of liquid in the IV drip. Bai Bingying was sleeping soundly, probably too tired. Xiao Lin sat quietly beside her, accompanying her.
Bai Bingying was sleeping quietly on the bed, breathing rhythmically. Her pale cheeks slowly regained some color. Her fringe was scattered on her forehead, and two streaks of tears extended from the corners of her eyes to her earlobes. Xiao Lin looked at Bai Bingying with pity, as if he felt that she now had the tired and delicate appearance of Lin Daiyu.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Xiao Lin hurriedly pressed it down, afraid that he would wake Bai Bingying up. She got up and walked out of the door to return the call. It was Bai Bingying's best friend, Yuanyuan.
"Xiao Lin, have you seen Bingying? She's not feeling well, but she's not in the dormitory now. Her phone is on the bed and we can't find her. Is she with you?”Yuanyuan asked worriedly.
"Bingying is on an IV drip in the school's infirmary.”Yuanyuan said that she and Shuyu would be there soon and hung up the phone.
After a few minutes, Yuanyuan and Shuyu rushed in. When they saw Xiao Lin, they immediately came over to ask him how Bai Bingying was doing. Xiao Lin put his finger in front of his mouth, signaling them to lower their voices, and then called the two of them outside.
"Bingying probably didn't sleep well last night and is too tired, so she fell asleep." Xiao Lin lowered his voice. The doctor said that she had caught a cold, but because her constitution was relatively weak, she would recover faster with an IV drip.”
"It's hard to believe that Bingying would be willing to be on an IV drip," Yuan Yuan said in surprise.”
Seeing Xiao Lin's puzzled expression, he explained," During the freshman physical examination, isn't there a blood test? Bingying insisted on not having her blood drawn. Later, the hospital was unable to find our counselor to persuade her, but Bingying still refused. In the end, the counselor had no choice but not to draw her blood.”
Shu Yu asked Xiao Lin if he had any classes in the morning and asked him to go to class first. The two of them would take good care of Bai Bingying. Xiao Lin thought that since her best friend was here, he could leave without worry. Moreover, he had already broken up with her, so it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he left.
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Lin was not in the mood to go to class. The thoughts in his mind seemed to explode all of a sudden as he thought of many things. Xiao Lin looked at the gray sky in a daze and asked himself. One was a relationship that had a beautiful past but was scarred, and the other was a relationship that required him to wholeheartedly manage. What kind of choice would he make?
There was no doubt that Bai Bingying needed him more than Yuan Yimeng. She needed him to care for her, to protect her, and to be by her side at all times. However, could she still find the passion she had when she was in love? That sore spot was still there. Could he go back and wipe it away? In comparison, Xiao Lin was more inclined towards Yuan Yimeng. Although she was more childish and insensible, it was a new beginning. As long as he treated her well, everything could still be nurtured.
When Xiao Lin thought of this, he felt an inexplicable frustration in his heart. What he wanted to do the most now was to see Yuan Yimeng and tell her that everything he did just now was out of friendship. He had no choice. He wanted to know Yuan Yimeng's attitude, what she thought, and what position he held in her heart. Was she willing to accept him?
Xiao Lin didn't hesitate to call Yuan Yimeng's number." Xiaomeng, I'm very troubled now. I want to tell you that I like you.”
"I know, I always knew. Thank you for liking me.”Yuan Yimeng didn't avoid him.
Xiao Lin didn't know what to say." Yes, I just want you to know that I like you."”
Back in the dormitory, Xiao Lin was lying on the bed, writing something, and fell asleep.
