Chapter 65: Lone Wolf
Gao Ting’s house was about half an hour’s bus ride away from Yuya First High School. It was probably at the border between the city and the countryside.
Gao Ting’s family’s financial situation was not good. Ever since her father fell ill, her mother had left them. It had been 12 years since then.
All these years, Gao Ting had been relying on her father. Although her father was sick, he was still working so that Gao Ting could continue to study.
Cheng Ling and Gao Ting met when they were in their first year of high school.
That day, Cheng Ling happened to pick vegetables from her farm and was preparing to deliver to Old Master Ding by taking bus. At the bus stop, she saw Gao Ting squatting beside and crying.
As Gao Ting was wearing the uniform of Yuya First High School, Cheng Ling knew that they were from the same school.
Cheng Ling was not a meddlesome person, but she had the heart of a doctor.
Due to this, she was always benevolent and kind.
She then found out that Gao Ting was crying so hard because her father was too sick to get out of bed.
So Cheng Ling gave the bag of vegetables in her hand to Gao Ting.
After that, they met again in school, and Cheng Ling became Gao Ting’s father’s doctor. She went to Gao Ting’s house every few days.
Gao Ting’s father’s illness was not serious, but because it had been delayed for too long, it could not be completely cured.
The medicine that Cheng Ling prescribed could only make Gao Ting’s father live longer, but it could not prevent him from suffering some pain. However, this already made Gao Ting and her father cry with gratitude.
After getting off the bus, Cheng Ling saw Gao Ting’s familiar little house with red walls and white tiles.
She had already told Gao Ting yesterday that she was coming to her house. As it was inconvenient for her to appear at the same time as Gao Ting in school, the two of them arrived one after the other.
“This is the vegetables that I harvested yesterday. You can try it. It’s very fresh.”
Cheng Ling handed the vegetables in her hand to Gao Ting.
As he knew Cheng Ling was coming today, Gao Ting’s father came home early.
“Thank you so much, Cheng Ling. You always come to treat my illness, and you don’t even charge me.”
Cheng Ling smiled and shook her head. “It’s nothing at all. Have you been well this month? Do you feel uncomfortable when breathing?”
Cheng Ling took out a small pillow to check his pulse and began to check on Gao Ting’s father.
Gao Ting’s father had a lung disease. When he was young, he had inhaled too much dust while working at a construction site. It caused problems with his lungs and respiratory tract, and he often coughed.
However, after Cheng Ling’s treatment, Gao Ting’s father no longer coughed in the middle of the night.
In addition to the vegetables, Cheng Ling also took out a bag of medicinal herbs from her bag.
This medicinal herb was in the prescription, but it was more expensive. Cheng Ling was worried that they couldn’t afford it, so she took some from her home. It should be enough to last for a month.
After the diagnosis, Gao Ting asked Cheng Ling to stay for dinner, but Cheng Ling declined.
Cheng Ling seemed to be born with a natural aversion to friends.
Although her personality was not too strange, she liked to be alone. Moreover, she was too lazy to explain many things, so she never had any friends.
When she was young, Xie Ying was very worried that Cheng Ling might have some kind of autism.
Cheng Ling took her schoolbag and walked out. The country road was peaceful and quiet, with the sound of dogs barking from time to time.
Cheng Ling hadn’t even walked a few meters when she heard Gao Ting’s voice from behind.
She turned around and saw Gao Ting running toward her.
Cheng Ling’s eyes flashed. “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to ask you. The school didn’t pursue the matter of you fighting with Ding Yu, right? I heard from my classmates that it seemed fine, but I still wanted to ask you.”
Cheng Ling was not used to being suddenly cared for like this, but she still felt warmth in her heart.
She shook her head.
The evening wind was very gentle, the hair on her forehead was blown swaying.
“It’s nothing.” Cheng Ling paused for a moment, then added unnaturally, “Thank you for your concern.”
Gao Ting was also a reserved person.
After hearing Cheng Ling’s answer, she nodded. “Don’t be bothered by what the class 10 classmates said to you. In fact, they are all very nice people. Although Ding Yu is a little overbearing, he is also very loyal. You will know after spending more time with them.”
Cheng Ling understood. She could also know this from their attitude towards Chen Min.
Just because people didn’t study well didn’t mean they were bad.
She had never had such prejudice.
