Chapter 178: Involution Again
After receiving the notification, the Zhai family's family doctor rushed to the scene. He carefully treated Lu Qingxi's wounds and made sure that every part was properly taken care of. However, Zhai Yijing looked unhappy as he watched the male doctor apply medicine to Lu Qingxi. He turned around and ordered his men that Lu Qingxi's wounds should be treated by female doctors in the future, obviously not wanting to see similar scenes again.
Although it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhai Yijing still couldn't let go of the fact that Lu Qingxi appeared in Zhai Xingchen's room. After returning to his room, he immediately sent a message to Xiao Lan, asking her why she had been coming to Zhai's house so frequently in the past few days. Although his tone was calm, his words revealed an unquestionable majesty.
The silence of the night was broken by the notification sound of WeChat. Xiao Lan lay on the bed, the light of the mobile phone screen reflected on her slightly nervous face. Seeing the message sent by Zhai Yijing, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. After more than ten minutes, she slowly replied: "I just came to accompany Qingqing." However, she knew that such an answer was obviously too superficial for Zhai Yijing and it was difficult for him to be convinced.
Sure enough, Zhai Yijing was not fooled by her words, but continued to ask: "If you want to do anything, you can tell me, she was injured today." Seeing this, Xiao Lan sat up suddenly, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly. She hesitated for a moment, and was about to press the "1" button to make a call, but the time 12:07 displayed on the phone reminded her that it was not appropriate to disturb Lu Qingxi's rest at this moment.
So, she quickly jumped back to the WeChat chat interface with Zhai Yijing, and then pressed the voice call button. However, Zhai Yijing hung up the call. Xiao Lan was about to curse when she received his message: "It was a knee injury, and it should have happened in Xingchen's room. You'd better give me an explanation why she took the initiative to go to Xingchen's room. If it wasn't because of you, I can't think of any other reason."
Seeing this news, Xiao Lan's momentum dropped instantly. She knew that she had to give Zhai Yijing a reasonable explanation, otherwise it would be difficult for her to even see Lu Qingxi tomorrow. However, it didn't seem appropriate for her to directly tell Zhai Yijing that she wanted to check his brother's identity. She fell into deep thought, with a lot of contradictions in her heart.
After some thought, Xiao Lan decided to take a compromise approach. She replied: "Qingqing and I will tell you tomorrow." Although this answer did not directly solve the problem, it at least gave Zhai Yijing an explanation and left some room for herself.
Xiao Lan was relieved when she saw that Zhai Yijing had not sent any more messages asking her to reply. She understood that the reason why Zhai Yijing did not continue to ask was largely because of her relationship with Lu Qingxi. However, Xiao Lan also knew that this did not mean that the matter was over. She decided to solve the problem by herself and not let Lu Qingxi suffer any more harm.
The early morning sunshine has not yet dispelled the tranquility of the campus, but a piece of news has spread rapidly like ripples to every corner of the school - Lu Qingxi, the goddess in everyone's eyes, will miss at least one week of classes due to a foot injury.
This news was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up waves. After hearing this, Xiao Xu hurriedly turned to Xiao Lan in front of him and asked directly: "Lanlan, how did Qingxi get hurt!" His eyes were full of concern and curiosity. Xiao Lan turned around and glared at Zhai Xingchen beside her brother with dissatisfaction, secretly blaming him for everything. She looked around and found that everyone in the classroom was focusing their eyes on her, as if waiting for her explanation. She turned her gaze back to her brother, and also noticed that the two people behind her brother's seat were also looking at her anxiously. Thinking that she was in the classroom now, she knew clearly what to say and what not to say.
So she took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Qingqing didn't look at the road clearly when she went downstairs yesterday and accidentally fell." After that, she ignored her brother's continued questioning, turned around, took out the mobile phone from the desk, and kept typing on it.
At this moment, Jimo Chu also received a message from the three-person group. He saw the message from Lu Qingxi, saying that his knee was slightly injured and he would not come to school for a few days. He couldn't help but feel nervous. Then, Xiao Lan sent a long list of self-blame in the group. After reading it carefully, Jimo Chu finally understood the whole story. He quickly sent several words to express his concern for Lu Qingxi in the group, and then looked at the book in his hand, with his own plan in mind.
He knew that as a superficial boyfriend and girlfriend, he should give Lu Qingxi enough care and support. But at the same time, he was also clear about his identity and position and would not cross the line that should not be crossed. He looked up and checked today's classes, and decided to convey his concern for Lu Qingxi through his notes.
Before the class started, Jimo Chen felt a shadow cast on his side, and it didn't disappear for several minutes. He turned his head slightly and saw Feng Muyang. He knew that Feng Muyang had helped Lu Qingxi and Xiao Lan several times recently, so although he was a little unhappy, he still asked politely: "Student Feng, what are you doing here?"
Feng Muyang felt quite awkward a few minutes ago. He knew it was embarrassing to ask his rival about his sweetheart. However, he was really anxious. He had just sent a message to Xiao Lan, but the other party had not replied. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Jimo Chu. But he stood by the seat for several minutes without knowing how to start. Fortunately, the other party took the initiative to ask him. He immediately changed from gloomy to cheerful and said: "Student Jimo, excuse me. I want to know, Student Lu, what is her specific situation? Is her injury serious? How was she injured? Does she need help?"
When Jimo Zhu heard these questions, he instantly felt regretful. He felt that he should not be so soft-hearted. After all, Feng Muyang asked him, her boyfriend, about Lu Qingxi's news, but he showed such obvious feelings that shouldn't exist. So, he lowered his face and said lightly, "It's nothing serious, I just accidentally fell."
Then, he took a deep breath, interrupted Feng Muyang's continued questioning, and said, "Class is about to start, Feng can go back to his seat."
Feng Muyang saw the displeasure in Jimo Chen's eyes and immediately came to his senses. He realized that it was inappropriate for him to continue asking questions, and the other party didn't seem to say much. So, he walked towards his seat in disappointment.
On the way back to his seat, Feng Muyang couldn't help but feel a little bitter. He knew that his feelings for Lu Qingxi were getting deeper and deeper, but he couldn't control his feelings. He could only silently wish her a speedy recovery, and at the same time, he was looking forward to having a deeper communication with her one day.
This day's class seemed a bit too long for Xiao Xu. But the rest of the people were writing furiously. Like Jimo Tan, they all wanted to use their notes to make up for today's class for Lu Qingxi. It was good for Lu Qingxi to show himself at the moment.
