Chapter 34: I'm at Your School Gate

 Chapter 34: I'm at Your School Gate

On the side, Tao Qiuyue shook her head, a gentle smile of helplessness appearing in her eyes.

The little guy has always been obsessed with looks. When he meets a pretty girl, his sweet words are as sticky as honey, sickeningly sweet.

She reached out and pinched the little guy's chubby cheek, saying, "Hengheng, is the pretty sister even better than Xixi and Xinxin?"

Unable to see Gu Qingning's figure anymore, the little guy withdrew his gaze.

He tilted his head back and smiled, his eyes and eyebrows curved, "The pretty sister is prettier than all of them."

Tao Qiuyue teased him, "Is she prettier than Mommy?"

Who knew.

The little guy hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded his little head. "The pretty sister is the prettiest."

Tao Qiuyue couldn't help but cry and laugh. She couldn't help but pinch his smooth cheek again. "Hengheng, do you really like the pretty sister so much?"

Even Qi Xuan would be surpassed by her, and if she heard this, his mother's heart would probably break.

The little guy pursed his lips, his smile deepening on his face. "The pretty sister is so beautiful. Hengheng has decided that I'm going to marry the pretty sister in the future."

His bright little eyes made Tao Qiuyue feel speechless.

...

With Gu Zhao's signature, Gu Qingning successfully moved into the school dormitory.

According to her request, it was a single room, about ten square meters in size.

After tidying up the dormitory briefly, Gu Qingning was covered in sweat. She had been wearing the same clothes for two days, and they were starting to smell.

She casually grabbed a set of clothes, put on slippers, and walked towards the bathroom.

After a while, the phone that was left on the table rang, and the lit screen displayed a string of numbers.

The phone buzzed, easily drowned out by the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Unable to reach anyone after waiting for a long time, Fu Juncheng furrowed his brows.

He glanced at the darkening sky outside, thinking that it was already so late, the exams should be over by now.

He hung up the call and dialed again.

However, after calling four or five times, the result was the same. The call went through, but no one answered.

Fu Juncheng's deep gaze darkened slightly, and he stood up and walked outside.

On the other side.

After coming out of the shower, the twilight outside gradually faded away.

Her messy long hair was steaming with water vapor, but Gu Qingning didn't have time to care about it. A burning sensation dulled her mind, as if there was a ball of fire burning in her stomach, robbing her of her senses.

She had eaten too much spicy hot pot for lunch, and her stomach had started hurting while she was showering.

She grabbed a cup of hot water and took a few sips.

With more than half of the cup of water in her stomach, that stubborn dull pain still didn't improve.

The school infirmary was already closed at this hour.

She furrowed her brows and placed the cup on the table, then grabbed her cap and put it on her head.

Wearing slippers, she picked up her phone and quickly left the dormitory.

At night, the streetlights in the school were lit up.

Many students in No. 1 Middle School were day students, so the school was much quieter at this time compared to during the day.

The cool breeze blew, making her already uncomfortable stomach even more uncomfortable.

Gu Qingning pursed her lips, and her phone in her pocket kept vibrating.

She slowed her pace and took out her phone.

The incoming call displayed only a string of numbers.

She was stunned for a moment, and then belatedly remembered aboutthe dinner appointment tonight.

She had forgotten about it.

She slid to answer the call and put the phone to her ear.

"Where are you?" A low magnetic voice, as gentle as a played cello.

Gu Qingning's eyes and eyebrows drooped slightly. She cleared her throat. "Sorry, I forgot about the dinner appointment tonight."

With her usual tone, Fu Juncheng still sensed something was off. "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Gu Qingning licked her lips, her throat feeling dry. "I had something come up suddenly. I'll make it up another day..."

Fu Juncheng interrupted her and asked, "Are you still at school?"

Gu Qingning hesitated. "Um..."

Immediately after, his next sentence surprised her, "I'm at your school gate."

Gu Qingning's face showed astonishment, and in her mind, the overly dazzling handsome face appeared.

He had come?

She realized it and said, "Wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, she quickened her pace towards the main entrance.

Just as she stepped out of the school gate, still at a distance, Gu Qingning saw Fu Juncheng's car.

Before she could approach, the person in the car got out first.

Under the moonlight, the tall figure of the man walked towards her.

Gu Qingning was stunned. He really came.

In a daze, that clear and refined figure had already walked up to her.

In the dim light of the street lamp, the girl's pale face came into his view.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fever again?"

As he spoke, his long, jade-like hand covered her forehead.

Not hot.

Gu Qingning's eyes trembled slightly. She took a step back, cleared her dry throat, and her voice became hoarse. "No."

Fu Juncheng frowned, a hint of worry surfacing in his eyes. "Did you hurt yourself again?"

He kept asking, and Gu Qingning had no choice but to tell him the truth. In a hoarse voice tinged with helplessness, she said, "I had too much spicy hot pot for lunch, and my stomach hurts."

Upon hearing this, Fu Juncheng's dark eyes slightly darkened. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I..."

Before she could say anything, her wrist was held by a warm large hand, and Gu Qingning passively followed along as he took a step forward.

"Where are we going?"

Concerned about her discomfort, Fu Juncheng slowed his pace. "To the hospital."

Until she sat in the car, Gu Qingning was still in a daze.

She didn't know how she ended up being stuffed into his car. Tilting her head, she looked at the man driving beside her.

"Why did you come to my school?"

Fu Juncheng said, "You didn't answer your phone."

Gu Qingning was surprised. She took out her phone from her pocket and opened it, only to see several missed calls.

All of them were from him.

She explained, "I was taking a shower and didn't notice."

Putting her phone away, she reached out to open the window.

Just as she opened it slightly, the man's magnetic voice came through. "Don't open it."

Then, he explained, "You have a stomachache, it's not good to let in cold air."

Feeling sweaty from the stomachache, Gu Qingning felt dizzy and her voice became hoarse as she said, "It's stuffy in the car."

Keeping an eye on her, Fu Juncheng noticed her pale face, which revealed an unusual vulnerability. He couldn't help but soften his heart.

Taking advantage of a red light, he turned around, reached out to pick up his jacket from the back seat, and placed it in her arms.

"Put it on before opening the window."

Knowing that she would refuse, he added, "Be good, it's windy outside."

His gentle and low voice was impossible to refuse.

Her clever mind was momentarily stuck, unable to function. Gu Qingning stared blankly at the jacket in her arms.

It was close enough that she could still faintly smell the cool fragrance.

She didn't put it on, and Fu Juncheng didn't force her. After all, the car window was closed, so she wouldn't catch a cold.

The car drove quickly and arrived at the hospital in no time.

When she got out of the car, the stomachache worsened, and Gu Qingning felt weak all over.

She leaned against the car, using it for support to steady her steps.

Fu Juncheng walked around

 from the other side and his gaze swept over the cold sweat on her forehead, his eyes slightly darkening.

"I apologize, little friend," he said, his teasing words lacking the usual ease.

Gu Qingning still didn't understand why he suddenly said that, and the next second, he scooped her up horizontally.

A standard princess carry.

Caught off guard, she was startled. "What are you doing?"

"You're walking too slowly like this." Fu Juncheng explained as he walked straight into the hospital.

A touch of embarrassment flashed through Gu Qingning's eyes, and in a hoarse voice, she said, "I can manage on my own. Please put me down."

She really had no face.
