CH 39

Near the end of Xiaoya's second year, an incident that was neither big nor small had occurred. A boy from her class fell sick for a few days, and after being sent to the hospital he was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Check Up

Currently, Xiaoya who listened to Liu Xiangyu's words replied, "You can only bring them for me every so often, so if I want to make it through this, it would be best to only rely on myself."

Lin-meimei (Sister Lin | Lin Daiyu) is the daughter of Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of Jia-mu (Grandmother Jia), who is Lin Daiyu's and Jia Baoyu's (Lin Daiyu's love interest) grandmother. Note that these two were sweethearts and grew up together. And Xue Baochai is also... related to them, and marries Jia Baiyu, who she loved. They are characters from the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions aka Dream of the Red Chamber aka The Story of the Stone" by Cao Xueqin (it's a classic, there's also dramas, stage plays, etc. etc.). Multiple English translations have been published. Full novel ebook | Volume 1 (of five by Penguin publishing). Take a notepad if you do check it out 〒▽〒 []^2. Sister Lin (Lin Daiyu) and Jia Baoyu felt bad when they saw the scattered petals of a peach blossom scattered over the grown and while Baiyu sent them floating down the lake, Daiyu swept up the fallen petals, placed then into a silk flower bag and buried them, believing that it was the best way for the flowers to maintain their purity. An act which mirrors her fate.

Xiaoya vaguely heard Cheng Kexin mention in passing that the boy was someone obsessed with League of Legends and would frequently jump the wall at night to go play games. Internet cafe's were easy and cheap to play in at night, and he during his day classes her would make up for the lost sleep. It was assumed he had contracted it at that place.

Only then did Xiaoya realise something was wrong. Could it have been that her asking him to bring her stuff before had led to him avoiding her?

Xiaoya even mentioned the matter to Lu Xiaobei, who replied with the lesson: "If you can do it yourself, why not do it yourself?"

Xiaoya: "Huh? No. I didn't bring back here."

Xiaoya was a little nervous.

Pouting, Xiaoya said, "There's always time to study, but you won't be there. I'm not saying you'll cheat, but I know the distance between us is just going to grow bigger and bigger, the topics we have in common will become more scarce, and that can never be a good thing. I want us to stand side by side, together."

Xiaoya: "You don't understand the hardships of a boarding student."

Liu Xiangyu nodded, not denying her words at all.

For the next two months, Yunta High strictly targeted the nearby internet cafes. At irregular intervals, male teachers were asked to go out and capture any students they found. The owners of the internet cafes were also furious at this circumstance but didn't dare voice it. After all, many high school students were still minors, and only because the town had no one monitoring them did they dare allow the kids to enter their cafes.

Xiaoya: "How can I stay with you?"

The owners of the internet cafes were also furious at this circumstance but didn't dare voice it. After all, many high school students were still minors, and only because the town had no one monitoring them did they dare allow the kids to enter their cafes.

But, afterwards, she heard that he never liked bring things for others previously. She also heard that day-students had a harder time than the students boarding at the school. When she got closer to the girls in her room, they all went to eat together, and since her phone was also confiscated, she had no need to again bother Liu Xiangyu.

Xiaoya stared directly at Liu Xiangyu, her eyes shining, as if they were able to see a person right through.

As the to walked out the hospital, Liu Xiangyu asked, "Because of what happened today, it wouldn't matter if we're a bit late for the evening self study session. So do you want to hang out for a bit?"

Hearing his words, Xiaoya froze.

The infected boy not only had to take the school year off, but Xiaoya's entire class also had to take a PPDT/N: A purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test is a test that determines if you have tuberculosis (TB). test to determine if they were infected.

Before Xiaoya and the doctor walked beyond the school gate, Cheng Kexin ran up to Xiaoya from behind and grabbed her, panting. "Xiaoya, wait... wait up. There's something... I have to say..."

Two doctors arrived at the school to give Xiaoya as well as her classmates an injection on their arm. Xiaoya didn't know whether the students from other grades were given examinations, but she would soon find herself in no position to care about other people's business. At the injection site on her arm, a small hard bump had appeared. Even though other in her dorm had bumps where they were injected, too, theirs were a lot smaller than hers.

The two burst out in laughter at the words, ans Xiaoya was easily cheered up by Lu Xiaobei. During her afternoon nap that day, Xiaoya had a dream. She dreamt she really was Sister Lin, and Xue BaochaiShe is Lin Daiyu's cousin and friend when they stayed at Jia-mu's. I believe the author swapped Xue Baochai with Jia Baoyu (the male love interest) since this is GL had come over every day to find her and play.

Xiaoya was a little nervous.

"Whatever you're thinking, just tell me. I'll have you back." Lu Xiaobei then added, "But you don't need to worry, alright? If you really can't attend school, you can just come stay with me."

An act which mirrors her fate.

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

Xiaoya thought it was unnecessary as well, so the doctor let them both go.

Xiaoya: "Huh? No. I didn't bring back here."

Xiaoya: "No of course not... you're a young Jia-mu. Hahahahaha..."

An act which mirrors her fate.

"What am I going to do if I got tuberculosis? If I have to stay at home for ten months there's no guarantee I'll be able to find a phone to call you." Xiaoya was on the phone with Lu Xiaobei. "I'm so sad and worried and depressed—and you're going to be at Nancheng University surrounded by a flock of girls. By then, the tears I couldn't shed will turn into a thousand."

Liu Xiangyu probably never anticipated he would've asked Xiaoya so directly. So, as a result, he then stammered out, "T-that time w-when you used my phone to go on QQ, you hadn't logged out. I didn't do it deliberately, but a few albums from your Qzone photo gallery were always locked, so I... I got really curious.

Lu Xiaobei waited for Xiaoya's rant of possibilities to come to an end before bluntly replying, "Right now your main concern should be your studies. You won't just be a year late for the college entrance exams, there's also the chance that everything you learned in your second year might be forgotten."

N/A

Xiaoya: "You don't understand the hardships of a boarding student."

"Thanks," Xiaoya said to him in return before she handed the guard the note then left the school together with Liu Xiangyu.

Liu Xiangyu then casually asked, "Then how do you contact your friends?"

"I'm so sad and worried and depressed—and you're going to be at Nancheng University surrounded by a flock of girls. By then, the tears I couldn't shed will turn into a thousand."

Xiaoya stormed off in huff.

When Liu Xiangyu heard Xiaoya had sighed up, he immediately pulled his name from the table tennis list ans switched to basketball. Xiaoya didn't think anything of it in the beginning, until Cheng Kexin asked from beside her, "Did you two have a falling out?"

Pouting, Xiaoya said, "There's always time to study, but you won't be there. I'm not saying you'll cheat, but I know the distance between us is just going to grow bigger and bigger, the topics we have in common will become more scarce, and that can never be a good thing. I want us to stand side by side, together."

Liu Xiangyu: "Then let's go to that shop near the school. Their food is delicious."

As the to walked out the hospital, Liu Xiangyu asked, "Because of what happened today, it wouldn't matter if we're a bit late for the evening self study session. So do you want to hang out for a bit?"

Hearing his words, Xiaoya froze.

"Whatever you're thinking, just tell me. I'll have you back." Lu Xiaobei then added, "But you don't need to worry, alright? If you really can't attend school, you can just come stay with me."

Liu Xiangyu: "Let me help you hold them." Before waiting for Xiaoya to respond, he took the change from Xiaoya's hand.

Liu Xiangyu hurriedly refused, saying, "The town is only this big, and the road doesn't branch off either. It's not like we're six years old or something, so we can get back on our own." He also promising they wouldn't run all over the place and would quickly make their way back to the school.

Xiaoya vaguely heard Cheng Kexin mention in passing that the boy was someone obsessed with League of Legends and would frequently jump the wall at night to go play games. Internet cafe's were easy and cheap to play in at night, and he during his day classes her would make up for the lost sleep. It was assumed he had contracted it at that place.

"Whatever you're thinking, just tell me. I'll have you back." Lu Xiaobei then added, "But you don't need to worry, alright? If you really can't attend school, you can just come stay with me."

Xiaoya was a little nervous.

Xiaoya: "How can I stay with you?"

Xiaoya: "Why don't you go home in the meantime?"

Believing Cheng Kexin was worried about her, she hurried told he panting girl, "It's just a check up, everything will be fine."

The waiters in the restaurant came and went past them as they served the food, continually streaming back and forth, filling the space around them with noise, while only an awkward silence overtook both Liu Xiangyu and Xiaoya.

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

When transferred Yunta High during her second year, she had asked Liu Xiangyu too bring her breakfast as well as charging her phone.

An act which mirrors her fate.

Lu Xiaobei: "Am I Jia-mu?"

Lu Xiaobei: "I'm renting an apartment near Nancheng University. You can be just like Sister Lin[1], and I can nurse you back to health everyday, and you can bury flowersT/N: Sister Lin (Lin Daiyu) had health issues. The Burying flowers part is explained in the footnote.[2].

An act which mirrors her fate.

Liu Xiangyu then casually asked, "Then how do you contact your friends?"

"I never thought our class monitor would act like this." Suddenly, the other student walking quietly behind the doctor spoke out.

Xiaoya smiled as she replied: "My mom and dad would never send me to stay at Jia-mu's."

Liu Xiangyu then blurted out, "Because of her?"

Lu Xiaobei: "Am I Jia-mu?"

Liu Xiangyu remained silent, then the doctor from the town hospital stood before them and waved. The two were then led into a small room on the first floor by her, then their x-rays were taken one after the other.

Xiaoya: I'm never discussing something like this with Captain again QAQ

Xiaoya was a little nervous.

Xiaoya: "Huh? No. I didn't bring back here."

At the restaurant near the school's gate, while Xiaoya waited for the crossing the bridge noodles, Liu Xiangyu took out his phone to play with. Seeing Xiaoya sitting across from his absentmindedly, he asked her, "Did you leave your phone back at your dorm?"

Xiaoya: "No of course not... you're a young Jia-mu. Hahahahaha..."

"I thought it was just photos from your life before, and I wanted to know a bit more about you—to have a bit more things to talk to you about... so I looked. In the album, there were pictures of you with another girl, and I didn't think much of it then." Liu Xiangyu then continued, "But after you went back home on break, and your phone was confiscated, you used a computer to chat with her so the chat was also shared on my phone. I really never meant to..."

As the to walked out the hospital, Liu Xiangyu asked, "Because of what happened today, it wouldn't matter if we're a bit late for the evening self study session. So do you want to hang out for a bit?"

What's more, without being sure if it was her being mistaken or not, Xiaoya got the feeling Liu Xiangyu had intended to avoid her. For example, when they had to choose a sports elective back then, Liu Xiangyu had signed up for table tennis, and so did she. But because she signed up for it late, she was the last to fill in the form. The sports committee member for their class had asked Xiaoya if she had learned to play it before, and everyone got to talking.

Liu Xiangyu: "Let me help you hold them." Before waiting for Xiaoya to respond, he took the change from Xiaoya's hand.

When Liu Xiangyu heard Xiaoya had sighed up, he immediately pulled his name from the table tennis list ans switched to basketball. Xiaoya didn't think anything of it in the beginning, until Cheng Kexin asked from beside her, "Did you two have a falling out?"

But because she signed up for it late, she was the last to fill in the form. The sports committee member for their class had asked Xiaoya if she had learned to play it before, and everyone got to talking.

Later that afternoon, the doctor who came to perform the injections had returned. Taking a ruler, she measured the bumps on the arms of a few students which were obviously swollen. Afterwards, she called out Xiaoya and one other boy from her class to head to the town hospital to get x-rays.

For the next two months, Yunta High strictly targeted the nearby internet cafes. At irregular intervals, male teachers were asked to go out and capture any students they found. The owners of the internet cafes were also furious at this circumstance but didn't dare voice it. After all, many high school students were still minors, and only because the town had no one monitoring them did they dare allow the kids to enter their cafes.

Xiaoya felt a little sick, so when she heard the doctor in the white lab coat say those words, a part of her was somewhat pleased.

Before, Lu Xiaobei had taught her that if she faced someone who possessed a guilty heart without saying a word, she could exert psychological pressure on them and reap unexpected results.

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

Xiaoya: "There's no need. If I try something new outside and go back to eating the food in the school cafeteria, I won't get used to eating the tasteless food hey serve there again. It's not like I can just come out to buy food everyday."

The results were good, as both Xiaoya and Liu Xiangyu were alright.

Liu Xiangyu: "I can't. If I'm later than you it would be obvious."

Before Xiaoya and the doctor walked beyond the school gate, Cheng Kexin ran up to Xiaoya from behind and grabbed her, panting. "Xiaoya, wait... wait up. There's something... I have to say..."

Currently, Xiaoya who listened to Liu Xiangyu's words replied, "You can only bring them for me every so often, so if I want to make it through this, it would be best to only rely on myself."

Believing Cheng Kexin was worried about her, she hurried told he panting girl, "It's just a check up, everything will be fine."

"I never thought our class monitor would act like this." Suddenly, the other student walking quietly behind the doctor spoke out.

Her first reaction upon hearing his words was anger, but only somewhat. The sight of Liu Xiangyu looking like a defeated rooster made a sputter leave her before she burst out in laughter. "It was wrong for you to read out chats, but you knowing about the Captain and me isn't something to be sorry about. She and I are together, and we're together openly. I never planned on deliberately hiding that from anyone."

Xiaoya: "How can I stay with you?"

Xiaoya thought it was unnecessary as well, so the doctor let them both go.

Pouting, Xiaoya said, "There's always time to study, but you won't be there. I'm not saying you'll cheat, but I know the distance between us is just going to grow bigger and bigger, the topics we have in common will become more scarce, and that can never be a good thing. I want us to stand side by side, together."

Cheng Kexin then handed Xiaoya some money, two five dollar bills and four coins. "Can you do me a favour and buy me two bowls of 'crossing the bridge' (rice) noodles—with eggs and sausage."

Hearing this, Xiaoya then replied, "Yes, I do have a friend who's going to Nancheng University." Then without much thought, she went on to add, "In the future, I want to attend college there too."

Xiaoya felt a little sick, so when she heard the doctor in the white lab coat say those words, a part of her was somewhat pleased.

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

The results were good, as both Xiaoya and Liu Xiangyu were alright.

Xiaoya left school without her bag, so in her pockets was a mess of change along with the note, she was in a hurry at that time.

Lu Xiaobei: "I'm renting an apartment near Nancheng University. You can be just like Sister Lin, and I can nurse you back to health everyday, and you can bury flowersT/N: Sister Lin (Lin Daiyu) had health issues. The Burying flowers part is explained in the footnote..

Currently, Xiaoya who listened to Liu Xiangyu's words replied, "You can only bring them for me every so often, so if I want to make it through this, it would be best to only rely on myself."

Xiaoya stared at Cheng Kexin with reproach.

Cheng Kexin: "...I don't think there's a chance you're sick, it's just a routine examination. So don;t forget, okay? Two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles, with eggs and sausage."

Xiaoya: "Huh? No. I didn't bring back here."

Xiaoya turned around, and as if he was absorbed in thought, Liu Xiangyu stared at the money in Xiaoya's hands. Coincidentally, the other student with significant swelling on their arm was Liu Xiangyu. They would be going the the town hospital together. As for the class monitor, that was in reference of Cheng Kexin. When she re-ran for the post of class monitor, she had won eighty percent of the votes.

Pouting, Xiaoya said, "There's always time to study, but you won't be there.

Xiaoya: I'm never discussing something like this with Captain again QAQ

Xiaoya vaguely heard Cheng Kexin mention in passing that the boy was someone obsessed with League of Legends and would frequently jump the wall at night to go play games. Internet cafe's were easy and cheap to play in at night, and he during his day classes her would make up for the lost sleep. It was assumed he had contracted it at that place.

Xiaoya: "You don't understand the hardships of a boarding student."

Having yet to return the money to Xiaoya, Liu Xiangyu asked her, "Did you not bring any money for yourself? Don't you want to eat outside the school later?"

Before, Lu Xiaobei had taught her that if she faced someone who possessed a guilty heart without saying a word, she could exert psychological pressure on them and reap unexpected results.

Xiaoya: "I contact them when I go back home. My friends understand too. Besides, everyone's in high school so they're all pretty swamped."

Xiaoya smiled as she replied: "My mom and dad would never send me to stay at Jia-mu's."

Near the end of Xiaoya's second year, an incident that was neither big nor small had occurred. A boy from her class fell sick for a few days, and after being sent to the hospital he was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Lu Xiaobei waited for Xiaoya's rant of possibilities to come to an end before bluntly replying, "Right now your main concern should be your studies. You won't just be a year late for the college entrance exams, there's also the chance that everything you learned in your second year might be forgotten."

"Whatever you're thinking, just tell me. I'll have you back." Lu Xiaobei then added, "But you don't need to worry, alright? If you really can't attend school, you can just come stay with me."

When they arrived at the entrance, Xiaoya handed the guard the note. Liu Xiangyu wore a name badge on his shirt so he didn't need to show a note, and simply waited beside Xiaoya.

Xiaoya didn't know whether the students from other grades were given examinations, but she would soon find herself in no position to care about other people's business. At the injection site on her arm, a small hard bump had appeared. Even though other in her dorm had bumps where they were injected, too, theirs were a lot smaller than hers.

Xiaoya stormed off in huff.

Xiaoya: I'm never discussing something like this with Captain again QAQ

Xiaoya vaguely heard Cheng Kexin mention in passing that the boy was someone obsessed with League of Legends and would frequently jump the wall at night to go play games. Internet cafe's were easy and cheap to play in at night, and he during his day classes her would make up for the lost sleep. It was assumed he had contracted it at that place.

Xiaoya even mentioned the matter to Lu Xiaobei, who replied with the lesson: "If you can do it yourself, why not do it yourself?"

As the to walked out the hospital, Liu Xiangyu asked, "Because of what happened today, it wouldn't matter if we're a bit late for the evening self study session. So do you want to hang out for a bit?"

Having yet to return the money to Xiaoya, Liu Xiangyu asked her, "Did you not bring any money for yourself? Don't you want to eat outside the school later?"

When they arrived at the entrance, Xiaoya handed the guard the note. Liu Xiangyu wore a name badge on his shirt so he didn't need to show a note, and simply waited beside Xiaoya.

Xiaoya: "There's no need. If I try something new outside and go back to eating the food in the school cafeteria, I won't get used to eating the tasteless food hey serve there again. It's not like I can just come out to buy food everyday."

Cheng Kexin: "...I don't think there's a chance you're sick, it's just a routine examination. So don;t forget, okay? Two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles, with eggs and sausage."

Xiaoya: "Huh? No. I didn't bring back here."

Two doctors arrived at the school to give Xiaoya as well as her classmates an injection on their arm. Xiaoya didn't know whether the students from other grades were given examinations, but she would soon find herself in no position to care about other people's business. At the injection site on her arm, a small hard bump had appeared. Even though other in her dorm had bumps where they were injected, too, theirs were a lot smaller than hers.

Before, Lu Xiaobei had taught her that if she faced someone who possessed a guilty heart without saying a word, she could exert psychological pressure on them and reap unexpected results.

Cheng Kexin then handed Xiaoya some money, two five dollar bills and four coins. "Can you do me a favour and buy me two bowls of 'crossing the bridge' (rice) noodles—with eggs and sausage."

Liu Xiangyu: "I can just bring it for you."

Liu Xiangyu nodded, not denying her words at all.

Xiaoya stared directly at Liu Xiangyu, her eyes shining, as if they were able to see a person right through.

The infected boy not only had to take the school year off, but Xiaoya's entire class also had to take a PPDT/N: A purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test is a test that determines if you have tuberculosis (TB). test to determine if they were infected.

Hearing his words, Xiaoya froze.

Later that afternoon, the doctor who came to perform the injections had returned. Taking a ruler, she measured the bumps on the arms of a few students which were obviously swollen. Afterwards, she called out Xiaoya and one other boy from her class to head to the town hospital to get x-rays.

When transferred Yunta High during her second year, she had asked Liu Xiangyu too bring her breakfast as well as charging her phone.

Xiaoya was a little nervous.

Liu Xiangyu nodded, not denying her words at all.

Lu Xiaobei: "Am I Jia-mu?"

But, afterwards, she heard that he never liked bring things for others previously. She also heard that day-students had a harder time than the students boarding at the school. When she got closer to the girls in her room, they all went to eat together, and since her phone was also confiscated, she had no need to again bother Liu Xiangyu.

Xiaoya: "You don't understand the hardships of a boarding student."

"I thought it was just photos from your life before, and I wanted to know a bit more about you—to have a bit more things to talk to you about... so I looked. In the album, there were pictures of you with another girl, and I didn't think much of it then." Liu Xiangyu then continued, "But after you went back home on break, and your phone was confiscated, you used a computer to chat with her so the chat was also shared on my phone. I really never meant to..."

Xiaoya left school without her bag, so in her pockets was a mess of change along with the note, she was in a hurry at that time.

When they arrived at the entrance, Xiaoya handed the guard the note. Liu Xiangyu wore a name badge on his shirt so he didn't need to show a note, and simply waited beside Xiaoya.

Later that afternoon, the doctor who came to perform the injections had returned. Taking a ruler, she measured the bumps on the arms of a few students which were obviously swollen. Afterwards, she called out Xiaoya and one other boy from her class to head to the town hospital to get x-rays.

What's more, without being sure if it was her being mistaken or not, Xiaoya got the feeling Liu Xiangyu had intended to avoid her. For example, when they had to choose a sports elective back then, Liu Xiangyu had signed up for table tennis, and so did she. But because she signed up for it late, she was the last to fill in the form. The sports committee member for their class had asked Xiaoya if she had learned to play it before, and everyone got to talking.

Believing Cheng Kexin was worried about her, she hurried told he panting girl, "It's just a check up, everything will be fine."

When Liu Xiangyu heard Xiaoya had sighed up, he immediately pulled his name from the table tennis list ans switched to basketball. Xiaoya didn't think anything of it in the beginning, until Cheng Kexin asked from beside her, "Did you two have a falling out?"

The results were good, as both Xiaoya and Liu Xiangyu were alright.

Near the end of Xiaoya's second year, an incident that was neither big nor small had occurred. A boy from her class fell sick for a few days, and after being sent to the hospital he was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Xiaoya turned around, and as if he was absorbed in thought, Liu Xiangyu stared at the money in Xiaoya's hands. Coincidentally, the other student with significant swelling on their arm was Liu Xiangyu. They would be going the the town hospital together. As for the class monitor, that was in reference of Cheng Kexin. When she re-ran for the post of class monitor, she had won eighty percent of the votes.

Only then did Xiaoya realise something was wrong. Could it have been that her asking him to bring her stuff before had led to him avoiding her?

Xiaoya stared directly at Liu Xiangyu, her eyes shining, as if they were able to see a person right through.

Xiaoya felt a little sick, so when she heard the doctor in the white lab coat say those words, a part of her was somewhat pleased.

Two doctors arrived at the school to give Xiaoya as well as her classmates an injection on their arm. Xiaoya didn't know whether the students from other grades were given examinations, but she would soon find herself in no position to care about other people's business.

Believing Cheng Kexin was worried about her, she hurried told he panting girl, "It's just a check up, everything will be fine."

Xiaoya smiled as she replied: "My mom and dad would never send me to stay at Jia-mu's."

Xiaoya even mentioned the matter to Lu Xiaobei, who replied with the lesson: "If you can do it yourself, why not do it yourself?"

Liu Xiangyu sat frustratedly in his seat, "Even though I didn't mean toI still found out. I'm really sorry. I know you and she are in a relationship."

Xiaoya felt a little sick, so when she heard the doctor in the white lab coat say those words, a part of her was somewhat pleased.

However, the doctor still urged them, "It would be wise to get yourselves x-rayed again in six months time, understood?" She then went on to ask them, "Would you like me to give you guys a lift back to the school?"

Hearing this, Xiaoya then replied, "Yes, I do have a friend who's going to Nancheng University." Then without much thought, she went on to add, "In the future, I want to attend college there too."

The infected boy not only had to take the school year off, but Xiaoya's entire class also had to take a PPDT/N: A purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test is a test that determines if you have tuberculosis (TB). test to determine if they were infected.

Xiaoya: I'm never discussing something like this with Captain again QAQ

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

Near the end of Xiaoya's second year, an incident that was neither big nor small had occurred. A boy from her class fell sick for a few days, and after being sent to the hospital he was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Liu Xiangyu then blurted out, "Because of her?"

But, afterwards, she heard that he never liked bring things for others previously. She also heard that day-students had a harder time than the students boarding at the school. When she got closer to the girls in her room, they all went to eat together, and since her phone was also confiscated, she had no need to again bother Liu Xiangyu.

Xiaoya left school without her bag, so in her pockets was a mess of change along with the note, she was in a hurry at that time.

Xiaoya: "Huh? No. I didn't bring back here."

Currently, Xiaoya who listened to Liu Xiangyu's words replied, "You can only bring them for me every so often, so if I want to make it through this, it would be best to only rely on myself."

Liu Xiangyu hurriedly refused, saying, "The town is only this big, and the road doesn't branch off either. It's not like we're six years old or something, so we can get back on our own." He also promising they wouldn't run all over the place and would quickly make their way back to the school.

Hearing this, Xiaoya then replied, "Yes, I do have a friend who's going to Nancheng University." Then without much thought, she went on to add, "In the future, I want to attend college there too."

For the next two months, Yunta High strictly targeted the nearby internet cafes. At irregular intervals, male teachers were asked to go out and capture any students they found. The owners of the internet cafes were also furious at this circumstance but didn't dare voice it. After all, many high school students were still minors, and only because the town had no one monitoring them did they dare allow the kids to enter their cafes.

Check Up

At the restaurant near the school's gate, while Xiaoya waited for the crossing the bridge noodles, Liu Xiangyu took out his phone to play with. Seeing Xiaoya sitting across from his absentmindedly, he asked her, "Did you leave your phone back at your dorm?"

Xiaoya stared directly at Liu Xiangyu, her eyes shining, as if they were able to see a person right through.

Liu Xiangyu nodded, not denying her words at all.

Liu Xiangyu remained silent, then the doctor from the town hospital stood before them and waved. The two were then led into a small room on the first floor by her, then their x-rays were taken one after the other.

Xiaoya turned around, and as if he was absorbed in thought, Liu Xiangyu stared at the money in Xiaoya's hands. Coincidentally, the other student with significant swelling on their arm was Liu Xiangyu. They would be going the the town hospital together. As for the class monitor, that was in reference of Cheng Kexin. When she re-ran for the post of class monitor, she had won eighty percent of the votes.

Xiaoya: "How can I stay with you?"

Xiaoya stared directly at Liu Xiangyu, her eyes shining, as if they were able to see a person right through.

The results were good, as both Xiaoya and Liu Xiangyu were alright.

As the to walked out the hospital, Liu Xiangyu asked, "Because of what happened today, it wouldn't matter if we're a bit late for the evening self study session. So do you want to hang out for a bit?"

However, the doctor still urged them, "It would be wise to get yourselves x-rayed again in six months time, understood?" She then went on to ask them, "Would you like me to give you guys a lift back to the school?"

Liu Xiangyu then casually asked, "Then how do you contact your friends?"

Liu Xiangyu hurriedly refused, saying, "The town is only this big, and the road doesn't branch off either. It's not like we're six years old or something, so we can get back on our own." He also promising they wouldn't run all over the place and would quickly make their way back to the school.

"Oh. But I heard you also have a fiend who goes to Nancheng University who calls you quite often." Having received a suspicious glare from Xiaoya, Liu Xiangyu quickly explained, "Cheng Kexin is from this town too, she's just not a day-student. We're next door neighbours too, so our families know one another and get together sometimes. Anyhow, I just heard her mention it in passing."

Liu Xiangyu hurriedly refused, saying, "The town is only this big, and the road doesn't branch off either. It's not like we're six years old or something, so we can get back on our own." He also promising they wouldn't run all over the place and would quickly make their way back to the school.

Lu Xiaobei: "Am I Jia-mu?"

Check Up

"What am I going to do if I got tuberculosis? If I have to stay at home for ten months there's no guarantee I'll be able to find a phone to call you." Xiaoya was on the phone with Lu Xiaobei. "I'm so sad and worried and depressed—and you're going to be at Nancheng University surrounded by a flock of girls. By then, the tears I couldn't shed will turn into a thousand."

Xiaoya thought it was unnecessary as well, so the doctor let them both go.

Xiaoya: "I contact them when I go back home. My friends understand too. Besides, everyone's in high school so they're all pretty swamped."

Pouting, Xiaoya said, "There's always time to study, but you won't be there. I'm not saying you'll cheat, but I know the distance between us is just going to grow bigger and bigger, the topics we have in common will become more scarce, and that can never be a good thing. I want us to stand side by side, together."

Xiaoya left school without her bag, so in her pockets was a mess of change along with the note, she was in a hurry at that time.

When they arrived at the entrance, Xiaoya handed the guard the note. Liu Xiangyu wore a name badge on his shirt so he didn't need to show a note, and simply waited beside Xiaoya.

"What am I going to do if I got tuberculosis? If I have to stay at home for ten months there's no guarantee I'll be able to find a phone to call you." Xiaoya was on the phone with Lu Xiaobei.

Xiaoya smiled as she replied: "My mom and dad would never send me to stay at Jia-mu's."

Xiaoya: "Why don't you go home in the meantime?"

Liu Xiangyu: "I can't. If I'm later than you it would be obvious."

The waiters in the restaurant came and went past them as they served the food, continually streaming back and forth, filling the space around them with noise, while only an awkward silence overtook both Liu Xiangyu and Xiaoya.

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

Xiaoya left school without her bag, so in her pockets was a mess of change along with the note, she was in a hurry at that time.

"I never thought our class monitor would act like this." Suddenly, the other student walking quietly behind the doctor spoke out.

Her first reaction upon hearing his words was anger, but only somewhat. The sight of Liu Xiangyu looking like a defeated rooster made a sputter leave her before she burst out in laughter. "It was wrong for you to read out chats, but you knowing about the Captain and me isn't something to be sorry about. She and I are together, and we're together openly. I never planned on deliberately hiding that from anyone."

At the restaurant near the school's gate, while Xiaoya waited for the crossing the bridge noodles, Liu Xiangyu took out his phone to play with. Seeing Xiaoya sitting across from his absentmindedly, he asked her, "Did you leave your phone back at your dorm?"

Cheng Kexin then handed Xiaoya some money, two five dollar bills and four coins. "Can you do me a favour and buy me two bowls of 'crossing the bridge' (rice) noodles—with eggs and sausage."

Mr. Li gave Xiaoya a note and told her to show it to the guard at entrance when the time came.

Believing Cheng Kexin was worried about her, she hurried told he panting girl, "It's just a check up, everything will be fine."

Liu Xiangyu: "Let me help you hold them." Before waiting for Xiaoya to respond, he took the change from Xiaoya's hand.

Xiaoya: "I contact them when I go back home. My friends understand too. Besides, everyone's in high school so they're all pretty swamped."

Xiaoya smiled as she replied: "My mom and dad would never send me to stay at Jia-mu's."

Xiaoya: "Why don't you go home in the meantime?"

As for the class monitor, that was in reference of Cheng Kexin. When she re-ran for the post of class monitor, she had won eighty percent of the votes.

The two burst out in laughter at the words, ans Xiaoya was easily cheered up by Lu Xiaobei. During her afternoon nap that day, Xiaoya had a dream. She dreamt she really was Sister Lin, and Xue BaochaiShe is Lin Daiyu's cousin and friend when they stayed at Jia-mu's. I believe the author swapped Xue Baochai with Jia Baoyu (the male love interest) since this is GL had come over every day to find her and play.

Liu Xiangyu then blurted out, "Because of her?"

"Oh. But I heard you also have a fiend who goes to Nancheng University who calls you quite often." Having received a suspicious glare from Xiaoya, Liu Xiangyu quickly explained, "Cheng Kexin is from this town too, she's just not a day-student.

"Whatever you're thinking, just tell me. I'll have you back." Lu Xiaobei then added, "But you don't need to worry, alright? If you really can't attend school, you can just come stay with me."

Hearing this, Xiaoya then replied, "Yes, I do have a friend who's going to Nancheng University." Then without much thought, she went on to add, "In the future, I want to attend college there too."

Two doctors arrived at the school to give Xiaoya as well as her classmates an injection on their arm. Xiaoya didn't know whether the students from other grades were given examinations, but she would soon find herself in no position to care about other people's business. At the injection site on her arm, a small hard bump had appeared. Even though other in her dorm had bumps where they were injected, too, theirs were a lot smaller than hers.

"What am I going to do if I got tuberculosis? If I have to stay at home for ten months there's no guarantee I'll be able to find a phone to call you." Xiaoya was on the phone with Lu Xiaobei.

Liu Xiangyu probably never anticipated he would've asked Xiaoya so directly. So, as a result, he then stammered out, "T-that time w-when you used my phone to go on QQ, you hadn't logged out. I didn't do it deliberately, but a few albums from your Qzone photo gallery were always locked, so I... I got really curious.

However, the doctor still urged them, "It would be wise to get yourselves x-rayed again in six months time, understood?" She then went on to ask them, "Would you like me to give you guys a lift back to the school?"

Xiaoya stared at Cheng Kexin with reproach.
