Chapter 176 Sincerity Chapter

Chapter 176 Truth

Xu Mingyuan's industries are all in Jiangcheng, and most of his energy and focus are placed here.

He would also visit some people on weekdays, usually in the afternoon or evening.

Having stayed in Jiangcheng for a long time, he naturally went back to Nanxi less often. However, he would take time out every week to go back to Nanxi to see Xiao Yangzhi, and invite teachers from various subjects to dinner, give them gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol and tea, and ask the teachers to help take care of him.

But every time I go back to Nanxi, I come and go in a hurry.

The time he spent with Xiao Yangzhi was mostly short. Sometimes he would go home for half a day on Sundays, or let Xiao Yangzhi take a leave for evening self-study during school hours, call her out for dinner, and then send her back to school.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan had the idea of ​​returning to Nanxi to develop. After all, this was where he grew up and where he had struggled all his life. It would be nice to come back and become a local rich man.

The advantages of being young are innumerable, but the disadvantages are also obvious. You must guard against being looked down upon by others, so that others may take advantage of you.

As a satellite city of Jiangcheng, Nanxi has no problem with industrial supporting facilities, but at the current stage, Xu Mingyuan really does not have the energy to be in charge of another area.

"Taotao, are you going back to Nanxi today?"

Xu Mingyuan called Tao Shuxin.

"Huh? Isn't today Thursday? You don't have classes tomorrow?"

"Yes, but I'm not going."

"Wow, you said you won't go?"

Tao Shuxin couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Just tell the counselor, no need to bother."

"Your counselor is so nice. Don't even think about asking her for leave. I haven't seen her for more than a month." Tao Shuxin complained in a low voice.

"Stop complaining. I asked you if you're going back. Give me a definite answer."

"If I don't reply, how can I reply? To ask for leave, my mother needs to call my parents. If she knew that I want to take leave to go home, she would definitely beat me to death." Tao Shuxin said.

"Okay then, I'll go back first." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Hey, why are you going back?" Tao Shuxin asked hurriedly.

"My sister is sick, I'm going back to see her."

"Ah? Are you sick? Is it serious?"

"She has a cold and a fever. She is not in good health. Lao Gao saw that she was not in good condition, so he called me. I went back to see if I should take her to the hospital for an injection."

Xu Mingyuan's physical condition is still good. He felt like he was about to catch a cold a few days ago, but he took a pack of cold medicine in time and his itchy throat was gone in two days.

Xiao Yangzhi's physical condition is much worse. Last year, she had a minor cold and no fever, but she took careful care of herself for half a month before she recovered.

Now she lives in the school dormitory and does not have the conditions like at home. She has to go out in the cold wind to get hot water every day. It would be strange if she could get well.

"Well, then you go back first. I'll ask my dad to pick me up tomorrow. You really are a busy man."

Tao Shuxin sighed softly.

"No way, just wait until next year."

Xu Mingyuan was also helpless.

He could now spend money to get his cheap father Xu Jun out, but his trick of medical parole would be troublesome if someone caught him in the future.

I was also worried that Xu Jun had not studied enough, and that his sudden freedom would be too much of a surprise to him, making this training class in vain. After much thought, I decided to wait and see next year.

There are old people above and young people below, one is in the cell and the other is in school.

It seems that he doesn't have to worry about anything, but he still has to spend energy to take care of them. Xu Mingyuan feels that he is rare.

Xu Mingyuan knew that Tao Shuxin would definitely not ask for leave to go back, so he called her just to inform her. When he got through to Lao Gao at noon, he went back to the dormitory to pack his things.

After tearing off the bed sheets and quilt covers and packing up some dirty clothes, Xu Mingyuan prepared to take them all back to wash.

He was not such a bad person, and planned to let the sick little Yangzhi wash the clothes. There was a washing machine at home, and he just needed to fill it with water and run it for a while. Washing by hand at school was too much trouble.

After going to the School of Science, Xu Mingyuan drove the A6 parked in the parking space and headed towards Nanxi.

By the time we arrived at No. 3 Middle School, it was already past two in the afternoon.

It was very easy for him to enter the No. 9 Middle School. He didn't even need to ask the teacher for permission. He just gave the guard two packs of cigarettes and Uncle Wang let him in.

He found Gao Dexiang's office with ease and chatted with him about Xiao Yangzhi's academic performance. When he heard that she had ranked first in the class and in the top ten in the grade in the monthly exam, Xu Mingyuan was quite pleased.

Xiao Yangzhi followed his advice and focused on liberal arts. It was a great result to have this result, but it was uncertain how he would perform in the next monthly exam.

But when the students are divided into arts and science classes in the second year of high school, if Xiao Yangzhi continues to maintain this state, he might be able to move up two places.

I followed Gao Dexiang to Class 7 of Grade 1, knocked on the classroom door, and interrupted the teacher who was lecturing.

"Teacher Li."

"Hey, Mr. Gao, you say."

The teacher who was lecturing stopped.

"Yangzhi, pack up your textbooks, your parents are here to pick you up." Gao Dexiang said.

Yang Zhi was slightly startled and frowned slightly.

Without wasting everyone's time, he just packed his pens and notebooks, picked up his schoolbag, and walked out of the classroom with a calm face.

Gao Dexiang said a few words to her, told her to go home and rest well, and then they walked to the stairs together, turned a corner and returned to the office.

Xu Mingyuan was carrying her schoolbag, and seeing that she was walking a little unsteadily, he put his arm around her slender waist and walked downstairs.

Little Yangzhi didn't show any happiness, she just followed with her head down, even when Xu Mingyuan asked her questions, she only said "um" and "ah" twice. After walking out of the school, Xu Mingyuan said, "Let's go to the city hospital to see if you need an injection."

"Brother, you don't have to come pick me up. It will be ready in two days..."

As soon as Yang Zhi finished speaking, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and started to cry.

"Now that you're here, why are you crying?" Xu Mingyuan sighed.

"Brother, eh...I'm sorry to have caused you trouble..." Yang Zhi said with a sob.

"Tsk, alright, alright, no need to bother, let's go."

Xu Mingyuan helped her into the car and handed her a tissue.

The tissue was quickly used up, and little Yangzhi held the tissue box and wiped her tears silently.

When Xu Mingyuan was waiting for the red light, he turned his head and saw her tears falling non-stop. He frowned and said, "Why are you still crying? It's almost okay. I told you it's just a small matter. You're already an adult, are you still afraid to go to the hospital?"

"I'm so useless. I only cause trouble. Ahem..."

Yang Zhi pursed her lips and her shoulders trembled.

"Hurry up and stop crying. You are a grown-up girl. Aren't you afraid of being seen and laughed at?" Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.

"Sorry……"

"Oh, cry, cry."

Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

Xiao Yangzhi has never been a strong girl. After all, strong people never choose to rely on others.

He couldn't say anything too harsh, as if he did, the little girl would be frightened again.

Yang Zhi knew that Xu Mingyuan didn't like her procrastination, and she tried hard not to cry.

But the more I tried to suppress it, the more I couldn't control it.

Xu Mingyuan made an appointment. There were a lot of people visiting the fever clinic this season, and the nurse was unable to take care of them all at once. She pricked a drop of blood on her fingertips and then went about her own business.

He asked her to clip the thermometer on and Xu Mingyuan went out to buy a bag of oranges.

For minor illnesses like colds and fevers, it is usually better to take medicine instead of getting an injection, or to get an injection instead of getting an IV drip.

But whether to get the injection or not depends on the individual.

Xiao Yangzhi has a weak constitution and her fever reached 39.1 degrees in just over a day. If she doesn't get an injection, her condition will probably develop into a serious condition.

After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally Xiao Yangzhi's turn.

The doctor took a look at the test report, checked her tongue and throat with a small wooden chip, wrote a prescription, and asked her to get the injection.

"Brother, will I infect you?" Yang Zhi said with some concern.

"No, there are people in my dormitory who have caught a cold and a fever. I've had it before and my immunity has improved. It's not so easy to get sick this year. But you have to be careful. The classroom is crowded and stuffy, and the air is not circulating. It will be troublesome if you get infected by others again."

"Well, I'll pay attention."

Yang Zhi nodded and wanted to say something, but when she saw the nurse coming, she grabbed Xu Mingyuan's arm in panic.

"Are you afraid of injections?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"fine……"

"Haha, it doesn't hurt."

"Ah."

Yang Zhi responded and quickly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling constantly.

After the cold little hand was held, the nervous Yang Zhi gradually calmed down.

The injection didn't hurt, but the series of operations performed by the nurse looked a little scary. After the back of my hand felt painful for a while, it was fine.

Xu Mingyuan chatted with her while peeling oranges and eating them.

“This is sweet.”

Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi couldn't do anything, Xu Mingyuan tasted it and handed the remaining orange segments to her mouth.

"Thank you, brother." Yang Zhi said with narrowed eyes.

"Heh." Xu Mingyuan smiled and peeled open another orange. He was immediately shocked by the sour taste. "Hiss, damn, this is really sour. Hey, don't you like sour food? Come and try it."

After saying that, Xu Mingyuan cut the remaining orange into two halves and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth.

It’s true that little Yangzhi likes sour food, but he can’t resist eating half an orange whole.

Her face immediately twisted with sourness, and after swallowing it with great difficulty, she whispered, "Brother is so good to me..."

"Hahaha, you're being sarcastic, right?"

Xu Mingyuan found it funny and rubbed her head.

"No, it's just good. I really hope that brother will always be so good to me..."

Yang Zhi's eyes were red, and she didn't know if it was because of crying or because she was just jealous.

But her words always come from her heart...
