One day at the end of October, Xiang Nan and Lin Leier finished breakfast and went to school together.
Before leaving, he sent a WeChat message to Yingzi and asked her to meet downstairs.
A moment later, Qiao Yingzi replied to WeChat, "Fang Hou'er, I caught a cold, so I won't go to the first class. If the teacher asks, please remember to ask for leave for me."
When Xiang Nan saw the news, he was immediately worried.
No wonder Yingzi didn't do morning exercises today. It turned out to be sick.
"Why did you catch a cold? Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say? Should you take medicine or get an injection..." He quickly asked with concern.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's not serious. I'll just drink more hot water and brew some isatis root." Qiao Yingzi replied.
"You still can't be careless. It's best to see a doctor." Xiang Nan replied, "Isatis root can only relieve symptoms and treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
"I understand." Qiao Yingzi didn't want to talk more about her condition and replied concisely, "Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the first class. If the teacher asks, please remember to ask for leave for me."
"OK." Xiang Nan replied, then put away his phone, "Let's go, Lei'er, let's go to school."
"Aren't you waiting for Yingzi?" Lei'er asked doubtfully.
"No wait, she caught a cold and won't go to the first class." Xiang Nan waved his hand and explained.
"Oh, that's it. Let's go then." Lin Lei'er nodded, and then reminded, "Cousin, the weather has been cold recently, so you should really keep warm. Otherwise, if you catch a cold, your studies will be delayed."
"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
When I came to school, during the first class, the biology teacher saw that Qiao Yingzi was not there, so she asked.
Xiang Nan followed Yingzi's instructions and told the truth.
The teacher nodded and mentioned that it was getting cold and everyone should keep warm? Then the class continued.
After the first get out of class, Qiao Yingzi came to the classroom.
"Yingzi, how are you? Are you okay?" Xiang Nan leaned over and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Qiao Yingzi waved her hand and said, "Right? What is the first class about?"
"It's about chromosomal inheritance." Xiang Nan explained, "I took special notes? Can you take a look at it yourself first? If you don't understand, ask me again."
He doesn't need to take notes at all during class. All the knowledge points are in his mind, and he can remember them more firmly than he can write them down. For Yingzi, this was the first time he took notes.
"Huh? Thank you." Qiao Yingzi nodded and took the note and read it.
Lin Leier and Huang Zhitao also came over at this time to express their condolences to the sick Yingzi.
"Yingzi, you are so good, why did you catch a cold?" Huang Zhitao asked with concern.
"I don't know." Qiao Yingzi blushed and explained coyly, "Maybe I kicked the quilt while I was sleeping last night, so I caught a cold."
"Oh? My poor little Yingzi." Upon hearing this, Huang Zhitao hugged her lovingly. "You have to be more careful when sleeping in the future."
"Yes." Qiao Yingzi leaned into her arms and nodded obediently.
…
"Huh? Pretending!" At this time, Wang Yidi, who was behind Xiang Nan, curled his lips.
"What?" When Xiang Nan heard what she said, he immediately turned his head and looked at her angrily and said,
"Why, I'm right." Wang Yidi straightened his back and faced Xiang Nan, "I saw Qiao Yingzi when I was at school this morning. I saw her run away to the 14th Building No., there’s no sign of a cold at all.”
"Building No. 14?!" Xiang Nan blinked and suddenly thought that Building No. 14 was Qiao Yingzi's previous home.
Six years ago, after her parents divorced, Song Qian took her to move to Building 6. The original home was left to Qiao Weidong.
"Oh!" Xiang Nan suddenly realized that Qiao Yingzi was pretending to be ill. Nominally I was resting at home because I had a cold, but in fact I was going to my dad's house to play Lego.
She did something like this in the play, but it was exposed within a few days, causing an uproar.
"Okay, Wang Yidi, you also know that Yingzi is not a bad student. She must have her own reasons for lying. Please stop talking bad about her behind her back." Xiang Nan said seriously.
With a mother like Song Qian who is strict and controlling, Qiao Yingzi is considered strong even if she is not crazy. If she couldn't hold it any longer, why would she choose to skip class to relieve stress.
"Hmph, you're so kind to Qiao Yingzi." Seeing Xiang Nan defending Qiao Yingzi so much, Wang Yidi couldn't help but said sourly.
"I'm good to everyone." Xiang Nan was stunned and smiled. Then he turned his head and stopped talking to her about such an ambiguous topic.
"Hmph!" Wang Yidi pouted his mouth in annoyance upon seeing this.
…
Xiang Nan turned around and thought about Yingzi.
He was not going to report Yingzi for pretending to be sick and skipping class.
First of all, the loyal words are hard to hear. Everyone likes to listen to words that are pleasant to their ears, but not many people are willing to listen to words that are unpleasant to their ears, even if they are honest advice.
Although he and Qiao Yingzi are lovers and have a deep relationship, if he always tells unfaithful words, they will break up sooner or later.
Secondly, there is no shortage of people around Qiao Yingzi to take care of her. Song Qian, Qiao Weidong, Li Meng... these people all care about her under the guise of "for her own good", and there are really not many people like him.
On the contrary, if they control and he condones, Qiao Yingzi will naturally like him more.
Thirdly, he actually sympathized with Yingzi. Song Qian's requirements for her were too strict. She had to do seven or eight sets of papers a day. If she couldn't finish them during the day, she would have to do them at night. She often stayed up until past twelve o'clock.
Apart from eating and sleeping, I have almost no free time and study at least fourteen hours a day. Not to mention that Qiao Yingzi is still underage, even an adult can't stand it.
So she avoided studying and went to her father's house to play Lego. Although her behavior was inappropriate, it was actually worthy of forgiveness.
But her approach was too hasty.
Being absent from class every day is too easy to be discovered. In a few days, the secret will be revealed.
Moreover, Song Qian hates Qiao Weidong the most, but she prefers to run to Qiao Weidong. Once she is bumped into by Song Qian, it will naturally be a double blow.
If she bumps into Xiao Meng again, it will be a triple critical hit. It would be strange if Song Qian is not popular anymore.
In the play, the main reason why Song Qian beat Yingzi was because she thought she had betrayed her and formed another family with Qiao Weidong and Xiaomeng.
In comparison, it didn't matter that she skipped school to play with Lego.
Therefore, he planned to persuade Yingzi to arrange a new way for her to reduce stress.
…
At noon, after lunch, Xiang Nan and Qiao Yingzi went home to rest.
"Well, today's chicken legs taste good." Qiao Yingzi said with a smile on the way.
She skipped a class today without being discovered, and also played with Lego for a while. Although she didn't have all the fun, it made her very happy.
"Yingzi, to be honest, are you really sick today?" Xiang Nan looked at her and asked with a smile.
"..." Qiao Yingzi's expression froze and she escaped unnaturally, "What do you mean, Fang Hou'er?"
