Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Su School Beauty: Stop dawdling and get in here!

It seemed Su Qianqian had endured a lot of hardship over the years.

But she was always so optimistic that you could never tell anything was different about her.

If he hadn’t happened to stumble upon this today, she probably wouldn’t have told him about it so easily.

Out of friendship, his heart ached for the strong-willed, proud girl before him.

However, since it was her family’s private affair, Gu Yizhou didn’t know what to say for a moment.

After some thought, he said, "Classmate Su, if there’s anything I can help with, you can come to me anytime. If you’re short on money, I have some..."

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou had barely finished speaking when Su Qianqian cut him off.

Her eyes dimmed slightly as she said, "Yizhou, I’m not telling you this because I want your pity."

"Classmate Su, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not saying this out of pity. Aren’t we friends? As a friend, I just want to help you. Don’t overthink it."

Gu Yizhou felt a bit helpless. He shook his head and explained.

’Of course!’

’There was definitely some pity involved, but he couldn’t say that.’

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Su Qianqian’s gaze still dimmed considerably.

Because Gu Yizhou had said "friends," not "boyfriend and girlfriend."

Fortunately, she was used to it and quickly adjusted her mood.

"By the way, Yizhou, how did you know I was hospitalized?"

Su Qianqian suddenly remembered that she hadn’t told Gu Yizhou she was in the hospital. ’How did he know I was here, in this specific room?’

"Oh, someone sent me a text."

Gu Yizhou said.

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Su Qianqian’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Besides my roommates, no one else knew I was in the hospital!’

’Could one of my roommates have told Gu Yizhou?’ she wondered.

Perhaps sensing her confusion, Gu Yizhou took out his phone, opened his messages, and handed it to Su Qianqian.

"Here, it was this number. I don’t know who it is either!"

Su Qianqian took the phone and glanced at the number. She understood immediately.

"It’s Xiaomeng..."

She looked up at Gu Yizhou, a little embarrassed. "This number belongs to my best friend, Guo Xiaomeng."

"Guo Xiaomeng?"

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "Is that the girl who was always with you at school?"

"Yes, that’s her."

Su Qianqian’s pretty face flushed slightly as she said softly, "She must have seen that I wasn’t feeling well, so she... I’m sorry, Yizhou. I’ve troubled you."

"It’s already very late. Why don’t you hurry back and get some sleep? You have work tomorrow!"

she added after a moment’s thought.

As for Gu Yizhou’s offer to stay and keep her company tonight, she really wanted him to, but she was afraid he would be too tired.

"It’s fine. You’re a girl, all alone in the hospital at this hour. I should stay with you tonight."

"As for work, I can just go back tomorrow morning. They’re not too strict at the company, so I can be a little late."

Gu Yizhou said, waving his hand dismissively.

"But..."

Since Gu Yizhou insisted, Su Qianqian didn’t say anything more.

She was indeed a bit scared being in the hospital by herself, and she also wanted to spend more time with Gu Yizhou.

Even though Gu Yizhou kept rejecting her confessions, she really, really liked him!

「...」

After that, the two chatted casually for a while longer.

Gu Yizhou glanced at the time on his phone and saw it was already around one in the morning. He said, "Um, Classmate Su, it’s getting late. You should get some sleep!"

"Huh?"

"What time is it now?"

Su Qianqian asked.

"It’s a little after one in the morning."

"Hurry up and sleep!"

Gu Yizhou replied.

"Ah... It’s that late?"

Su Qianqian looked at the room, which only had one hospital bed, and asked, "If I go to sleep, what about you?"

"I’ll just rest in the chair for a bit."

"It’s fine. Hurry and get some sleep!"

Gu Yizhou said casually.

"In the chair... That won’t do!"

"That’s not okay! You have to go to work tomorrow!"

Su Qianqian said.

"It’s fine... I can pull an all-nighter without any problem!"

"You should sleep!"

Gu Yizhou said, glancing at Su Qianqian’s face.

The color had mostly returned to her face. After she finished these IV drips, her test results would be back tomorrow. If there was no inflammation or lesions in her rectum and colon, she could be discharged.

Then she would just need to eat a bland diet, avoid spicy food, and rest for a few days to recover.

Gu Yizhou had already looked at her medical chart. He’d had acute gastroenteritis in his previous life, so he had some understanding of the condition.

"Yizhou..."

Just as Gu Yizhou’s mind was wandering, Su Qianqian’s voice, as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, suddenly reached him. "Why don’t you... come up on the bed... and we can sleep together?"

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou hadn’t quite heard what she said. He snapped back to his senses and looked at Su Qianqian, a little lost.

Seeing her face bright red and her expression incredibly shy, Gu Yizhou grew even more confused. "Classmate Su, what did you just say?"

Su Qianqian: "...-_-||"

She bit her pink lip and finally mustered her courage to say softly, "The chair is too hard. Yizhou, why don’t you come up on the bed? We can sleep together."

"Huh???"

After hearing what Su Qianqian said, Gu Yizhou froze.

’This...’

’Get on the bed... and sleep together?’

’Am I going to give up my first blood here, on a hospital bed?’

The thought suddenly flashed through Gu Yizhou’s mind.

’Hospital play???’

’Is there a nurse’s uniform?’

’Are we really getting that wild?!’

’This doesn’t seem like a good idea, does it?’

Although it sounded exciting, Gu Yizhou still felt it was a bit inappropriate.

"Ahem~"

Gu Yizhou faked a cough and said awkwardly, "Um, Classmate Su, that’s not necessary. I’ll just do... uh, I’ll just sit in the chair for a while. You’re not feeling well right now. Go to sleep, don’t worry about me."

"But... if you sit in a chair all night, how will your body handle it?"

Su Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "It’s okay. The bed is small, but if we lie on our sides, there’s room for two people. You should come up and sleep here!"

With that, she reached out her right hand and pulled Gu Yizhou up.

"Uh..."

For a moment, Gu Yizhou was at a loss for words.

"Alright, are you afraid I’m going to eat you up or something?"

"Hurry up~"

"Stop dawdling!"

"Get in, quick!"

Su Qianqian’s mood had returned to its usual state. She shot Gu Yizhou a look, chiding him playfully.

Gu Yizhou: "..."
