"Teacher Ouyang, don't listen to Han Zhou's nonsense. It's not as serious as he says. I'm much better now." Gu Zheng looked at Han Zhou with dissatisfaction.
"Even if it's not serious, you should keep warm. Your health is the capital of revolution."
Ouyang Lianyu spoke earnestly, completely forgetting the fact that she had already lost all her "capital". She turned to look at Han Zhou in front of her, "You should not be sick, so you came to see the guzheng?"
She smiled, but after she finished speaking she realized that the atmosphere was a little strange. Everyone in the ward looked at her strangely.
Did I say something wrong? She looked at Han Zhou in confusion.
"I did want to come and see her."
Han Zhou replied with a smile, secretly reminding Gu Zheng's family that it was not that he had not wanted to come to see Gu Zheng, but that they did not give him the opportunity, and then changed the subject, "Teacher, what are you doing in the hospital?"
"I'm here to check my legs. The doctor said if nothing goes wrong I'll be able to walk in two weeks."
The tone you're using now, coupled with your nickname, makes me feel like something might happen...
"Yeah, that's great."
Han Zhou complained in his heart, but a happy smile appeared on his face. He introduced to Gu Lang and Miao Yaner: "Uncle Gu, Sister Miao, this is Teacher Ouyang, a university teacher at Linda and the counselor of our department."
When they heard it was the teacher, the Gulang couple immediately showed warm smiles, walked over and shook hands with Ouyang Lianyu, and said, "It turned out to be Teacher Ouyang. We heard Xiao Zheng mention you just two days ago. She said you are a very kind teacher and take good care of her at school."
"No, no." Ouyang Lianyu waved her hand and said, "Gu Zheng helped me a lot. I was in class thanks to her help."
She had difficulty walking and her classrooms were mostly upstairs, so going up and down the stairs was very inconvenient. During that time, it was almost always Guzheng who carried her upstairs, which really helped her a lot.
"Hahaha, this is the first time we've heard of this. This kid has been very strong since he was young, but sometimes he has a bad temper. He shouldn't have caused any trouble in school, right?" Gu Lang asked with concern.
Guzheng has a strong personality and only reports good news but not bad news. She may not tell them about any problems she encounters. Han Zhou is also on the same page as Guzheng and will only help to conceal things if there is any problem. So if they want to know the real situation, they can only ask this teacher.
Ouyang Lianyu smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Guzheng is not from our department, and I don't know much about her. But I heard from the counselor in their department that Guzheng has performed very well since the beginning of the school year."
“This excellence refers to…”
Seeing that several people were about to start chatting here, Han Zhou became anxious and quickly winked at Ouyang Lianyu, reminding her not to forget the important matter.
Ouyang Lianyu finally reacted, but she was a little troubled for a moment. As she had just said, although she was a counselor, she was not in charge of the Guzheng department. Even interviewing the parents was not her business. It was not easy to find a reason to send the parents away.
Find a reason, find a reason... After thinking for a moment, she suddenly had an idea, as if she remembered something, and said hesitantly: "Oh, I suddenly remembered something, I may need to talk to you two about it..."
Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Miao Yan'er's face changed slightly and she asked nervously, "What's the matter? Was Xiao Zheng bullied at school?"
Come on, we should be thankful that our daughter doesn't bully others...
Gu Lang complained in his heart, but his expression turned serious. He was worried that Gu Zheng might be isolated by her classmates because of her personality.
Seeing the two of them suddenly look as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Ouyang Lianyu glanced at Han Zhou blankly. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the parents were just ready to pick up knives and chop people.
The latter was also frightened, and suddenly remembered the scary words "it can be torn apart with bare hands, and splattered all over the floor". He swallowed his saliva and quietly gave her a look that said "don't be afraid", motioning her to continue.
Ouyang Lianyu was a little nervous, and responded with a look that said, "If you don't explain it well afterwards, I'll never forgive you." Then she lowered her voice and said, "It's not convenient for the children to hear this. Why don't we talk outside?"
Gu Lang and Miao Yan'er looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. They nodded slightly, turned their heads and said to Han Zhou, "Han Zhou, take care of Gu Zheng, we have to go out for a while."
"no problem."
Han Zhou responded calmly, but he was actually delighted in his heart. He thought that Teacher Ouyang was really reliable and he must make fun of her less in the future.
Ouyang Lianyu pushed the wheelchair out of the ward and suddenly hesitated: "By the way, the time for this conversation may be a bit..."
These words were actually spoken to Han Zhou. She deliberately dragged out her tone to ask herself how long she would need to delay.
Han Zhou understood what she meant and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Teacher Ouyang, I won't leave until you come back."
Delay it as long as possible—that was his hint.
Ouyang Lianyu was a little embarrassed, but she gritted her teeth and pushed the wheelchair away.
After the three of them left, Han Zhou and the two girls lying on the hospital beds were the only ones left in the room.
The overwhelming feeling of oppression suddenly disappeared, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The next thing he had to do was to stabilize Gu Zheng. As long as he saw the three of them chatting happily after coming back, Uncle Gu and the others would not interrupt him or ask him questions.
Han Zhou sorted out his thoughts. In fact, he had a clear conscience about today's incident. He came here to help take care of Mo Yixia at the instruction of Jiang Baiqian and did not tell a single lie.
The reason why he was so flustered was mainly because he learned that Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia appeared in the same ward too suddenly. He had no time to react at all. He was even more worried that Mo Yixia might have said something bad, which made him extremely nervous.
Even though Mo Yixia didn't do that, it doesn't mean she will be so easy to talk to next time.
Therefore, in addition to stabilizing the guzheng, Han Zhou also needs to accomplish another thing.
That was to reach a "friendly agreement" with Mo Yixia and beg her to let him go today.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 215 I heard that you spent the night together?
After closing the door of the ward, Han Zhou waited for half a minute. Seeing that Mo Yixia had not made any trouble, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still did not dare to be careless and kept casting pleading looks at this girl who could read people's hearts.
He believed that the other party could understand what he meant.
But Mo Yixia never responded.
Han Zhou sighed. He knew it would be like this, but there was nothing he could do. In this matter, he was in the wrong in the first place. Mo Yixia was already giving him face by not turning hostile immediately. He couldn't expect more.
He looked around and wanted to pour a glass of water for the two of them, but when he saw a cup of hot water and a half-peeled orange beside their beds, he knew that he would have nothing to do for the time being, so he walked towards the chair beside Guzheng's bed and asked as he walked:
"Are you feeling better now?"
Mo Yixia glanced at him, and suddenly said in a weak voice: "Sit here with me."
She moved to the left and patted the large empty space beside the bed. "You can lie down."
Han Zhou paused.
Guzheng turned her head and looked over, frowning slightly.
The air was silent for a few seconds.
"I'm just kidding."
Han Zhou was nervous, but fortunately Mo Yixia didn't intend to kill him, so she continued, "You can't lie down, but come and sit over here, it's spacious here."
Gu Zheng's brows relaxed slightly, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that this girl was too unconcerned. How could she invite a boy to sit on her bed?
Especially after seeing that Han Zhou did not refuse immediately, her mood became even more irritable.
"no need."
Han Zhou didn't refuse immediately because he was confused. He quickly forced a smile and said, "There's a chair here. I can just sit on it."
He kept winking at Mo Yixia.
The latter ignored him, shook his head slightly, and said in a tone of expectation and nostalgia: "Sitting on a chair is not as comfortable as sitting on a bed."
Han Zhou's mouth twitched, and he wanted to cover this guy's mouth immediately, but when he thought that this might be one of the other party's purposes, he felt a headache.
He knew that this guy definitely did it on purpose. This was a very ambiguous statement, especially in a situation like this. Gu Zheng was too pure. If Uncle Gu and Sister Miao were still present, he couldn't imagine what the situation would become.
Sending them away early was the best decision I have ever made in my life...
Han Zhou secretly rejoiced and said with a smile: "This is a reclining chair, it's quite comfortable."
"Can you lie down comfortably?" Mo Yixia looked at him with a smile.
Han Zhou didn't dare to look at Gu Zheng's expression. He laughed dryly and said, "I still prefer sitting. Besides, didn't you say that you can't lie on your bed?"
After saying this, without giving Mo Yixia a chance to speak again, he quickly moved the chair between the two beds, demonstrating his attitude with his actions.
Does this mean to treat everyone equally?
Mo Yixia saw the meaning of Han Zhou's action and let out a soft "tsk". Her mood was neither good nor bad. She stood up with difficulty and slowly stretched out her hand, looking as if she wanted to get some water but was powerless.
Seeing this, Han Zhou raised his hand and touched the wall of the cup to feel the temperature, then he picked up the cup and handed it to her, asking worriedly, "Is the fever serious?"
He knew that Mo Yixia had a habit of concealing her illness. If she had endured for a long time before coming to see a doctor, then her current appearance might not be fake.
"You'll know if you touch it."
Mo Yixia took the cup of water weakly. Perhaps she noticed Han Zhou's concern, she said "thank you" softly, and then said nothing more.
But even this was scary enough, so Han Zhou pretended not to hear it. He knew Gu Zheng was staring at him, and he felt like a thorn in his back. How could he dare to feel Mo Yisha's body temperature in front of Gu Zheng?
And he could guarantee that the place this guy asked him to touch was definitely not his forehead...
After taking off the mask, Mo Yixia's face was pale. She drank a few sips of water, handed the cup to Han Zhou, put on the mask and lay down again, saying weakly: "Lean closer to me, I can't sleep alone in a strange place."
Stop talking nonsense, you slept so well when you were alone in your hotel room...
Han Zhou felt a toothache and before he could open his mouth, he saw Gu Zheng suddenly pull up the quilt to cover her face as if in a huff, making muffled sounds.
"I can't sleep either!"
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, and he was clearly unhappy.
Mo Yixia coughed twice to show her weakness: "I remember you just said that you were much better, right? The fact that you can't sleep now means that you are almost recovered. Your IV drip is almost finished. I think you should be able to remove the needle and leave in a while."
She sounded cheerful, as if she was happy for her new friend's recovery.
But Guzheng was not a fool, and of course she heard the hidden meaning. The girl seemed to hope that she could leave here as soon as possible to leave some space for herself and Han Zhou to be alone.
Combined with the previous signs, she immediately had a guess in her mind -
This girl named Mo Yixia is his love rival!
This girl likes Han Zhou, even if she doesn’t love him, she must have a good impression of him - thinking of this, Gu Zheng’s heart was alarmed, especially when she thought of the delicate face she saw when she was drinking water just now, this vigilance instantly reached its peak.
I don't know if Han Zhou noticed this...
She still buried her head in the quilt and said in a complaining tone, "I also wanted to leave early, but the doctor said that I was very ill and needed to receive several bottles of fluid before I could leave."
However, Gu Zheng was not good at lying or acting, and her words were full of loopholes for a mind-reading expert like Mo Yixia, who easily heard the joy beneath her complaining tone, and was obviously happy to be able to receive a few more bottles of fluid.
This is indeed the case. When Gu Zheng heard the old doctor's diagnosis, she thought he was making a fuss. It took dozens of minutes to infuse a bottle of fluid, and it was a waste of time to stay in the hospital for so long. But now she thinks that the old doctor is really skilled in medicine, his eyes are full of wisdom, and even his bald head is so cute.
She said happily, "I think I still have two bottles of fluid to be infused. How many bottles do you need to infuse? It shouldn't be as much as mine, right?"
This weird desire to compare made Mo Yixia slightly stunned, and then she coughed twice: "I also have two bottles, but I think it may not be enough. I have been weak since I was a child, and I have become more and more weak recently. It's okay if I don't get sick, but it's very troublesome when I get sick, especially because I need someone to take care of me."
Gu Zheng didn't understand the meaning of "I've been getting weaker recently", but she understood the meaning of the last sentence. She sighed and said, "I need someone to take care of me, too. I've never been sick before, and I've only been to the hospital a few times. This is my first time getting an IV drip, and I'm not used to it at all."
"is it?"
Mo Yixia smiled weakly, looking pitiful, "I really envy you. Not only is your body always healthy, but your parents will take care of you when you are sick."
She was reminding Gu Zheng not to forget who Han Zhou came for - you already have your parents to take care of you, so there's no need to target the person who is responsible for taking care of a poor person like me, right?
