Although Su Yuanzhou’s acting failed, and he was wretchedly driven out of the school doctor’s office, Su Qiuge still sent him some bruise medicine.

The small bottle of medicine had a note attached to it with the girl’s beautiful script: Avoid touching water and remember to rub this medicine on the wound.

Su Qiuge sent this medicine to his class, and Su Yuanzhou was called out to receive it. Although his heart warmed inexplicably, in front of the class of boys, he pretended to expressionlessly took the medicine, Su Qiuge looked at him with this silly look and remembered her dream. She thought that Su Yuanzhou can not be said to be bad. He was just a little silly and didn’t get enough love or guidance as a child, which caused him to grow up a bit wild.

The first thing someone needed to do was to look at him with some compassion and love, and then say one more thing, “Remember to apply the medicine or else it might scar.”

Su Yuanzhou’s mulishly patted his chest, raised his eyebrows, and said, “This small injury is nothing, if there are no scars and tattoos on one’s body these days, can it still be called a man?”

But the truth was that when he heard Su Qiuge’s words, he was secretly very happy.

The bottle of medicine was almost a prize to Su Yuanzhou, and it boosted him out of his stupor and into energy. He did not even open the bottle of medicine, but rather chose to put it in the most conspicuous place on his desk as if it were a family heirloom. This action caused the person next to him to doubt that he might have injured his brain as well as his legs when he fell.

But Su Yuanzhou was completely living in his own world, and every time he woke up from class to take a look, a shock of joy sounded in his heart.

Gao Jing took this in silently. He was trying to find out why Su Yuanzhou was acting like this bottle of medicine cost five million dollars.

Why?

On Saturday, Su Qiuge found that Xie Xinglin seemed to be taking a leave of absence and did not come to her tutoring. She didn’t know if he had recovered, but if he had, he was probably preparing for his own exams.

After all, the summer holidays would soon be upon them, and right before the holidays came the final exam.

Although she could justify it, when Su Qiuge woke up early in the morning and did not hear the familiar doorbell, she was a bit lost in her empty house.

Until the evening, Su QiuGe received a phone call from Han Ming.

Han Ming sounded quite anxious over the phone. He usually talked with a smile, but now, he was just incoherent and could only say to her, “There’s something going on with Brother Xing.”

“The specifics I am not very clear about, but recently he has been busy with a lot of things…… he never talks to me about this, but I do know that his little sister is going to have surgery soon, and he’s been busy the whole time. He won’t ever tell me if he needs money or something and always looks really calm on the surface.”

Speaking of which, Han Ming’s voice trembled, “but I know his body is not going to hold up. Who can withstand such a high-intensity 24-hour workday? This person is very stubborn in this regard and doesn’t listen to reasoning. He refuses to take help from others and has to push himself to the breaking point.”

Han Ming took a deep breath. Su Qiuge comforted him and told him not to be hasty.

He was walking on the street at this time, and as the evening breeze blew, Han Ming seemed to have calmed down a bit. He continued slowly, “He was not feeling well and was probably tired from a long day, so he drank a little wine. He likes to smoke and drink when he is in an extremely bad mood, and I have tried to discourage him before, but he didn’t listen. I went to see him in person, but I wasn’t able to do anything… It’s already so late tonight. I guess he isn’t willing to go home to let Aunt Liu find out. I’m now tailing him from far behind, but I dare not talk to him and do not know where he is going, Xiao Su, you … do you know …”

He wanted to say, Do you know how important you are to him? If it is you ……

Han Ming said softly, “Everyone else’s persuasion doesn’t work, but if it’s you, he’ll listen.”

Su Qiuge thought Xie Xinglin behaved so normally these days. With the exception of some shadows at the corners of his eyes and a little more downtime to make up for sleep, she hardly saw any clues.

Thinking of this, she felt tight in her heart, then said, “I know.”

She said very responsibly, “Han Ming. Don’t worry, I will take care of him.”

Han Ming was slightly relieved to receive such a definite reply from her.

When he hung up the phone, he thought in his heart, Xie Xinglin should be persuaded.

She would be worth it, at least.
