Su Lanxu suddenly smacked the desk, frightening Xu Youyou. Then, she said, “Let’s not think so much! Let’s have hotpot!”
“Hah?” Xu Youyou was dumbfounded by the sudden change in topic.
Su Lanxu lowered her head to look at Xu Youyou and said, filled with conviction, “There’s nothing hotpot can’t solve! If it doesn’t work, having hotpot twice will definitely solve the problem!”
Xu Youyou was amused. Su Lanxu had successfully cheered her up.
“Let’s go, let’s go! Don’t I still owe you a meal?” Su Lanxu said as she pulled Xu Youyou out of the classroom, “I’ll book a private room. Let’s order a king crab as well! We need to celebrate!”
“Celebrate what?” Xu Youyou looked at Su Lanxu suspiciously.
“Celebrate your love for Mo Shenbai! Celebrate the rise of your standard in choosing a partner! Who cares? Let’s just celebrate!”
Xu Youyou: “…”
‘Actually, you’re just looking for an excuse to have a big meal, right?’
…
Ever since they returned from Ireland, Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai did not see each other much.
After realizing her feelings for Mo Shenbai, Xu Youyou did not know how to face him. Moreover, every time she saw him, she would be reminded of her spring dream that made her cheeks flush and her heart race.
Mo Shenbai was smart. How could he not know that Xu Youyou was deliberately avoiding him? She came up with all kinds of excuses not to make breakfast, leaving the house early, and returning late. He had thought it carefully, but he could not figure out when or how he had angered her. He had been busy with work over the past two days so he decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He knew he could not be too anxious. Otherwise, he would risk scaring her away.
......
…
In the morning.
The weather had turned cold. It was already late autumn, and winter was approaching.
Xu Youyou sneezed as soon as she woke up. When she felt a gust of cold wind, she looked up and discovered the window was open. She was the maple leaves falling to the ground slowly.
Xu Youyou got out of bed to close the window, sneezing twice during the process.
When she went downstairs, Mo Shenbai had already left for the company. When she sat down, she began to sneeze again.
When the butler saw that Xu Youyou’s face was pale and that she was sneezing frequently, he asked worriedly, “Madam, did you catch a cold?”
“I think so. I forgot to close the window last night,” Xu Youyou replied. She touched her forehead and found that it was not too hot. However, her throat was a little sore.
“The days are getting colder, especially at night. You have to close the window before you sleep. Should I invite the doctor over?” the butler asked with a concerned expression.
Since Mo Shenbai had employed a family doctor, it was not troublesome to invite the doctor over.
Xu Youyou shook her head. “No need. I have classes after this. If I feel really uncomfortable, I’ll just go to the university’s infirmary.”
…
Xu Youyou felt dizzy the entire day. It was not easy for her to make it to the end of her class. When she went to the infirmary, she discovered the university’s doctor was on leave.
‘Forget it. Let’s go back first.’
When Xu Youyou was drawing close to the university’s entrance, she was about to call Cang Ming when she saw an old acquaintance.
Lin Yin walked over and saw Xu Youyou’s haggard appearance. He could not help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Xu Youyou sniffled before she replied, “Why are you looking for me?”
‘Don’t tell me it’s about my brother hitting him again.’
Lin Yin sneered. “Xu Youyou, you did that on purpose, right?”
“Huh?” Xu Youyou was puzzled. However, when she saw the sour expression on Lin Yin’s face, she suddenly remembered something.
