Chapter 74 - 75: Illness (3)
Lou Xi used to have an amazingly strong body; she never had any major illnesses and caught a cold just once a year, which would always be gone within two days.
But for some unknown reason, this time she hadn’t gotten better after a whole week; she was coughing and had a runny nose every day, and the medicine didn’t seem to help.
She used up heaps of tissues, and Bai Lu said if she didn’t see a doctor soon, she might be on her way to meet God.
Lou Xi called her a jinx, but still thought she should go to the hospital, since the school doctor wasn’t reliable.
Today, it was still Qin Mobai’s class.
A whole week had passed since she last spoke to Qin Mobai; oh, and Qin Mobai hadn’t paid her any attention then.
Her mood seemed a bit gloomy.
Throughout the class, Lou Xi was somewhat distracted and kept blowing her nose.
Qin Mobai remained composed and steady at the podium, occasionally glancing up at the sound of Lou Xi blowing her nose; when the bell rang, he said class was over and left with his teaching materials.
Bai Lu originally invited Lou Xi to eat together, but she ran off as soon as class ended, leaving Bai Lu to walk alone.
Lou Xi was going to block Qin Mobai and ask him what he really meant.
On the wisteria-lined path between the teaching building and the administration building, Lou Xi successfully stopped Qin Mobai.
"Young Master Qin!" Lou Xi’s eyes gleamed with enthusiasm.
"You’re blocking the way," Qin Mobai said coldly.
Qin Mobai’s indifference wasn’t something ordinary people could endure, but Lou Xi had the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, so Qin Mobai’s icy aura couldn’t harm her!
"Young Master Qin, are you mad at me?" Even though Lou Xi didn’t know why Qin Mobai was ignoring her, not talking to her probably meant he was mad.
Anyway, if Young Master Qin is mad, it means she did something wrong!
"Classmate, I’m in a hurry, please step aside," Qin Mobai’s tone grew even more distant, and he even used the word "classmate."
"Young Master Qin, if I did something wrong, please let me know. My personality is carefree, so I might have accidentally offended you without realizing it, so you have to tell me!"
"Are you saying I’m petty and sensitive?" Qin Mobai snorted coldly.
"Could it be..." isn’t it?
Faced with Qin Mobai’s dark gaze, Lou Xi swallowed back the rest of her sentence.
"Young Master Qin is the most generous; if I did anything wrong, Young Master Qin would surely be merciful enough to forgive me, right?" Lou Xi didn’t know why it hurt to see Young Master Qin angry at her, and it hurt even more when he treated her like just another schoolmate.
"You’re such a sycophant; do your parents know?" Seeing Lou Xi’s flattering manner, Qin Mobai’s long-suppressed mood seemed to ease a bit.
Lou Xi immediately smiled; if Qin Mobai spoke like that, he probably forgave her.
"I don’t know if my parents know, but as long as Young Master Qin knows, that’s good enough!"
"Hmm!" Qin Mobai continued to gaze at Lou Xi with a detached look, giving no hint of emotion.
"By the way, Young Master Qin, this is what you left at my place last time—" Lou Xi took a black paper bag out of her backpack.
Qin Mobai’s face suddenly darkened; did this girl bring his personal belongings to school in her backpack!?
But inexplicably, Qin Mobai’s heart skipped a beat; this was at school, what if it were somewhere else...
"A tie, you forgot it, so I brought it for you!" Lou Xi offered the bag to Qin Mobai like a treasure.
A tie? A tie! A tie...
