Chapter 963: Chapter 961: Sickly Heiress 6

"What’s wrong?" Meng Xuan, who had gotten up early, heard some noise from his seat and saw Lian Yang looking a bit unwell, holding onto the bed.

Before Lian Yang could answer, he quickly went over to help him to a chair, his eyes tinged with concern: "Are you sick?"

Lian Yang had always been healthy, from freshman to sophomore year, he rarely even caught a cold. It was the first time seeing him look so unwell.

The weather was turning cooler, and he played basketball yesterday, working up a sweat, so catching a cold wasn’t too surprising.

"Maybe it’s a cold." Lian Yang felt dizzy in waves, and the feeling wasn’t pleasant, it really felt like a cold.

But he had always been very healthy, and having a cold that made him feel this dizzy, almost making him collapse just now, was something he hadn’t experienced in years, not since he was a child.

"It’s probably due to the season change, plus the intense exercise yesterday and the cold wind," Meng Xuan said. "Go to the infirmary and check it out later, get some medicine."

"I’ll be going to the cafeteria later, what do you want to eat? I can bring it for you," Meng Xuan said as he walked to Wu Jie’s bed and shook him awake, "What do you want to eat?"

Wu Jie mumbled something: "Anything."

Meng Xuan seemed used to it and just chuckled, then looked at Lian Yang: "Fortunately, there’s no early class this morning, just one later on. After you eat, you can rest a bit, and if you’re not feeling better, just ask for leave. Can you manage going to the infirmary by yourself?"

Lian Yang tried to get up and found that aside from some dizziness, he was otherwise fine: "No problem."

It should just be a mild cold.

"Okay, I’ll go buy breakfast. You can go to the infirmary to get some medicine, then come back and eat. Call me if you need anything."

"By the way, you got up early, were you planning to go have breakfast with Xia Chen? Do you want to let her know?" Meng Xuan reminded him.

Ever since Lian Yang and Xia Chen got together, as long as there was nothing else going on, they would have all three meals together.

"I’ll call her," Lian Yang said.

Seeing this, Meng Xuan didn’t say anything more, opened the door, and left the dormitory.

As for why he didn’t ask if Cao Zhicheng wanted anything, it was because Cao Zhicheng hadn’t returned to the dorm at all yesterday; he was always the type to not come back at night.

Ah Chen received a call from Lian Yang, who said he wouldn’t have breakfast with her this morning, using the excuse of having something to do.

Ah Chen, of course, knew what was going on and wasn’t about to be fooled by this excuse.

She was already downstairs, heading towards Cafeteria 1, when she spotted Meng Xuan coming from the direction of the boys’ dormitory.

"Meng Xuan, what’s up with Lian Yang?" She didn’t hang up the phone, just asking Meng Xuan directly.

Meng Xuan walked over quickly and explained the morning’s events, noticing Ah Chen was on the phone with Lian Yang, and added to the phone, "Second brother, don’t bother hiding it; we’re all at the same school. If a cold doesn’t get better right away, you won’t be able to hide it."

Lian Yang pretended to be resigned, and after Ah Chen asked what he wanted to eat, he replied honestly.

Then Ah Chen bought food for Lian Yang and asked Meng Xuan to bring it up to him.

At noon, several girls from Ah Chen’s dorm ate together, and not seeing Lian Yang and Ah Chen together, Qiao Jiajia couldn’t help but ask: "Where’s Lian Yang? Why didn’t he come? Doesn’t he usually message you right on time asking where you are? We’re in university; dragging classes must be rare now, right?"

Ah Chen then spoke about Lian Yang not feeling well in the morning and how he was probably sleeping in the dorm right now.

Sick?

Qin Yin couldn’t help but worry but didn’t show it.

Between her and Lian Yang, there needed to be boundaries; sudden concern would only cause misunderstanding and awkwardness.

Though, Qin Yin really had no appetite.

Liking someone isn’t that easy to let go, so she could only hide it in her heart, not wanting to trouble others.

Ah Chen sensed Qin Yin’s emotions, but such matters are inherently complicated.

The Commissioner died early and wouldn’t know what happened between Lian Yang and Qin Yin after her death. But given Qin Yin’s personality, she and Lian Yang’s past would always be a barrier between them, and nothing would come easy for them.

If Lian Yang told Qin Yin the truth, saying he never liked the Commissioner and purely used her, as anyone with a normal conscience, it’d be hard to accept that their survival was at the cost of someone else’s ruin. They’d probably live in remorse for life.

From Qin Yin’s various actions, it’s undeniable that she isn’t someone with malicious intent; she’s even a bit self-consuming. Those who self-consume often don’t wish to hurt others.

If Lian Yang doesn’t reveal the truth but still wants to be with Qin Yin, it still won’t be easy.

Thus, Lian Yang’s desire for a perfect solution may not be achieved.

But he is someone who employs any means necessary, and if Qin Yin isn’t willing, would he let go?

Unless Qin Yin is someone like Lian Yang, willing to join in his ways.

The peaceful day passed, and Lian Yang took some cold medicine from the infirmary. Feeling dizzy and unwell, he took leave and didn’t attend class, thinking that resting for the day would likely make the cold go away.

He was quite strong physically and figured a mild cold wouldn’t drag on for days.

Who’d have thought waking up the next day, he still felt heavy-headed, the dizziness hadn’t faded.

However, having been prepared, he didn’t nearly collapse like the day before.

"Second brother, feeling better?" Meng Xuan asked when he saw Lian Yang while tapping on his phone early in the seat, then put his phone down when he saw Lian Yang’s face, "You still don’t look well, could it be the flu?"

It was indeed flu season, and it wasn’t strange; even with Lian Yang’s good health, some severe flu can’t be easily resisted.

"Maybe." Lian Yang rubbed his temples, "It might take a few more days."

"Why don’t you lie down some more?" Meng Xuan asked.

Lian Yang refused: "Just a bit dizzy, no other symptoms, doesn’t really affect me. Lying down all day yesterday felt uncomfortable; I don’t want to do it again."

"Getting up and moving around is good too."

Once Lian Yang finished freshening up, Meng Xuan, as usual, nudged the still-sleeping Wu Jie and asked what he wanted to eat, getting the same "Anything" response, which made Meng Xuan chuckle.

On the way to Cafeteria 1, there’s a junction where it’s the main path for both the boys’ and girls’ dorms.

When Lian Yang got there, Ah Chen was already waiting.

Seeing the fatigue on Lian Yang’s face, she asked, "Still not better? You look pale."

"Probably a strong flu, might not recover in a day," Lian Yang said. "Don’t get too close, or you might catch it." Even though he wore a mask, he still reminded her thoughtfully.

Before the Commissioner’s death, Lian Yang was truly gentle and detailed, completely acting like a perfect boyfriend, both in words and actions.

Once they got to the cafeteria, Lian Yang found that he still had an appetite.

Meng Xuan laughed and said, "As long as you can eat, otherwise losing appetite is a bigger issue."
