"Have you passed gas?" Mr. Han’s first question upon entering the hospital room was this.
Zhen Yu lowered her head without saying a word, while Han Mingyue visibly shook her head.
Mr. Han frowned and unhappily glared at the top of Zhen Yu’s head!
Then he turned and instructed, "Zhen Yan, you go! Quickly find a nurse and get her a bottle of glycerin enema!"
"Oh! Okay, I’ll go right away!" Zhen Yan responded and turned to leave.
"Didn’t you move around much during the day?" Mr. Han casually pulled over a chair and sat at the end of the bed, opening his mouth to begin lecturing!
"What did you promise this morning? Didn’t you assure you’d take good care? Yet a whole day has passed and still no gas! Do you even want to eat dinner tonight? If you keep dragging this out, you’ll be hungry from this year into the next!"
"Psh!" Han Jiayang couldn’t help but laugh first, "Hungry for a whole year! Hahaha..."
Mr. Han turned and gave his younger son a cold look! "You can still laugh! Weren’t you supposed to watch over her?"
Han Jiayang imdiately suppressed his laughter but couldn’t help making a funny face! He muttered softly, "Isn’t it all because my brother feels sorry for her and spoils her..."
Having been betrayed by his brother, Han Mingyue’s face turned a shade of dark red, and there was nothing he could do! So he had to admit his mistake voluntarily, "Dad, I’m sorry!"
"You!" To save face for his older son in front of his brother and Zhen Yu, Mr. Han only said two words before stopping.
Yet those two words were filled with disappointnt!
As if saying, "How can you unconditionally spoil your girlfriend!"
Han Mingyue heard the subtext in his father’s words, so he honestly lowered his head.
But he quickly complained in his heart, "Aren’t you the sa..."
——
Without anyone accompanying her, Zhen Yu used a small bottle of glycerin enema in the bathroom and let out everything she could.
Then, Han Mingyue, who was waiting outside, went in to help her wash one complete hand and the other five fingers.
After sitting back on the hospital bed, Zhen Yu looked at the bowl of porridge, then at her brother and the four mbers of the Han family eating a feast together...
The porridge in the spoon suddenly lost its appeal!
But she was very hungry! She had to drink it whether she liked it or not!
Just as she was eating without taste (plain porridge didn’t really have any flavor to begin with), the phone on the bedside charging suddenly rang.
Zhen Yu quickly reached out to pick it up, seeing that it was a landline number, with the area code for Laha.
"It might be Bai Xue." She told Zhen Yan and Han Mingyue her guess, then answered the call.
"Hello? Hi!"
"Zhen Yu! Happy New Year to you in advance! I’m afraid I’ll forget tonight, so I’m calling you early!"
The voice on the other end was Liu Ting’s; Zhen Yu hadn’t contacted her for half a year and was montarily dazed.
"Thanks! Are you at ho now? How have you been these past six months?"
"Oh! Don’t bring it up! It’s been a hellish experience! Senior High School life is just inhumane!" As soon as Liu Ting ntioned First High School, she began to complain, "My grades don’t even rank in the class, let alone the entire year. Studying every day gives a headache! I barely made it to the top twenty in the class! But Qian Duoduo and Qiao Xian, those two guys, are always in the top five for the year!"
"Aren’t they both in the sa class?" Zhen Yu naturally rembered that Qian Duoduo and Qiao Xian were in the sa class in high school.
"Yes! They’re both in the sa class, but I’m only in Class Four!" Liu Ting said unhappily, "Even though there are so of our middle school classmates in my class, I really don’t want to be in the sa class as them!"
"Ha! I’ve almost forgotten who all is in your class."
Zhen Yu joked half-seriously.
——
"Who else! It’s just that damn Lu Wei! And the annoying Wu Qiong! And, the flirtatious Fu Yu!"
With each na, Liu Ting added an adjective.
"Uh, flirtatious? How is Fu Yu flirtatious?"
Zhen Yu really didn’t expect that she would one day hear such words used to describe him.
But hearing Zhen Yu ntion his na, many eyes in the hospital room imdiately looked over at her...
Especially the looks from Zhen Yan and Han Mingyue, which had an indescribable aning.
Liu Ting, being the gossip enthusiast she is, imdiately complained, "Do you know he dated Wang Ping in middle school? I didn’t even know that! I just heard about it now, and he broke up with her as soon as he started high school!"
"Oh, that! I know. So they broke up when they got to high school, and then what?"
"Then Fu Yu sohow got involved with our class president! Hmph! Isn’t it just because that girl is from Qi City!"
Liu Ting’s tone was full of disdain, contempt, and dissatisfaction...
Even while communicating over the phone, Zhen Yu could feel the massive emotional waves from Liu Ting.
Then, a sudden thought popped into Zhen Yu’s mind!
"Do you like Fu Yu?"
Liu Ting: "..."
——
The silence on the other end made Zhen Yu understand.
She just didn’t know what to say to Liu Ting.
Fortunately, Liu Ting was straightforward and soon said, "I originally liked him, but now that I know he has such poor character, I don’t like him anymore!"
Even if this ’tough talk’ was said face-to-face, Zhen Yu wouldn’t be able to tell if it was true or not.
So she just laughed and agreed, "It’s good not to like him, let’s talk about soone else!"
"Uh... by the way! There’s sothing I think I should tell you."
Liu Ting’s tone suddenly beca serious, so Zhen Yu also instinctively followed, "What is it?"
"Old Cao, Teacher Cao, he’s been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer."
"What?!" Zhen Yu nearly dropped her phone! Such a good teacher, how could sothing like this happen to him?!
Ah... Old Cao always had a habit of smoking...
Could it be that in the previous life, he also got this disease around this ti?
Zhen Yu racked her brains trying to rember, but found she couldn’t recall any useful information!
Because in her past life, she was admitted to Second High School! That winter break, she was busy every day working to support herself, having lost touch with all her middle school classmates long ago.
"It happened not long after the winter break, I heard about it from Duoduo. Next year, after school starts, he might not return to First High School to teach anymore..."
"Liu Ting, can you do a favor?"
Tears welled up in Zhen Yu’s eyes, but she felt utterly powerless!
Because she knew! With the current dical ans, there’s no way to save Teacher Cao!
At this mont, Zhen Yu suddenly felt so incompetent! Even though she had been reborn for several years, she still hadn’t achieved anything!
