Chapter 199: This Illness Can Only Be Cured When I See You
Regardless of whether anyone was on the other end of the telephone, Ye Chuxiao said urgently, “I’m rushing over now!”
Ye Chuxiao immediately stood up and said apologetically to Lin Chusheng, “I’m sorry, Brother Chusheng, Senior Student Ziyi is also sick, I’m going to see him!”
“I’ll go with you,” Lin Chusheng said.
“No need, Brother Chusheng,” Ye Chuxiao replied. “You’ve just recovered a little from your illness, don’t go out in the wind. It looks like it’s going to rain. You should stay home and rest. Brother Congrui and Brother Hou Chun are also there, so you don’t need to worry.”
Ye Chuxiao grabbed her mobile phone and backpack, changed into her canvas shoes at the entryway, and hurried out.
Lin Chusheng stood by the dining table, his expression dazed. The anxious and worried look on Xiaoxiao’s face when she heard Lu Ziyi was sick was still vivid in his mind. She… cared about him a lot, was very concerned about him, right?
On the dining table, two white porcelain bowls were placed opposite each other, but Xiaoxiao’s bowl had barely been touched.
Although the bowls were a pair, they looked very lonely at this moment.
The small, off-white gypsophila in the pot on the dining table was quietly blooming on its own.
——
Lin Chusheng’s house and Lu Ziyi’s design studio were both near the south gate of the school, not far away. Ye Chuxiao ran all the way there.
“Senior Student Ziyi!” Ye Chuxiao called out anxiously as soon as she entered. The scent of congee greeted her.
“Xiaoxiao, you’re here so quickly!” Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun were sitting on the sofa in the hall, idle and relaxed.
“Where is Senior Student Ziyi?” Ye Chuxiao’s heart was still in her throat.
“Ziyi is cooking congee in the kitchen, it’ll be ready soon. Xiaoxiao, come sit down, we’ll wait together,” Zhao Congrui said with a smile, beckoning Ye Chuxiao over.
“What kind of illness does Senior Student Ziyi have?” Ye Chuxiao pressed.
“Uh…” Lin Houchun scratched his head.
Zhao Congrui said mysteriously, “It’s a… neurological disease. The symptoms are an abnormal heart rate when seeing a certain person, sometimes speeding up, sometimes slowing down, depending on whether that person is good to them or not! But when they can’t see a certain person, they become restless and irritable…”
“Zhao Congrui!” someone shouted from the kitchen, “Stop talking nonsense!”
“See!” Zhao Congrui said, presenting his evidence. “It’s exactly like this. Xiaoxiao, you can see it too. He’s currently in a state of irritability. He probably needs to see someone to get better.”
“What kind of illness is this?” Ye Chuxiao was confused. She walked to the kitchen and saw Lu Ziyi busy cooking the congee.
Meanwhile, Lin Houchun asked in a low voice, “Congrui, what illness did you tell Ziyi he has?”
“Uh,” Zhao Congrui stroked his chin where he had no beard, adopting a profound demeanor like a quack doctor. “This… is commonly known as… lovesickness!”
“Pfft!” Lin Houchun burst out laughing, and Zhao Congrui also chuckled.
Of course, what made Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun happiest was that their breakfast was almost ready, and its fragrant aroma had already filled the hall.
Lu Ziyi had nothing to be proud of. They had plenty of ways to control him in the future, as long as Xiaoxiao was around!
“It smells so good,” Ye Chuxiao said as she walked over to Lu Ziyi, seeing that he was cooking preserved egg and lean meat congee.
Ye Chuxiao’s compliment caused the soft lines of Lu Ziyi’s lips to curve slightly upwards.
“Let me cook,” Ye Chuxiao said. “Brother Congrui said you were sick.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Lu Ziyi said. “He’s possessed by a drama queen. He called you over for breakfast and put on a show first.”
