"What?! Wounded and hospitalized?!" Shen Fengyue exclaimed, a bit louder than intended.
The teacher at the teacher's desk heard him and nodded, "Yes, it seems that he was slashed by a psychopath. Fortunately, someone was passing by at the time, so when the psychopath saw someone coming, they ran away. Wei Tianze was rescued in time and is now in the hospital recuperating."
Then he reminded everyone, "Lately, it hasn't been very safe in our society. Students, try to let your parents pick you up and take you home from school, and pay more attention to your safety."
Shen Fengyue was distracted the entire time in class as if he hasn't gotten over the news that Wei Tianze had been slashed and hospitalized.
Why was Wei Tianze slashed by the psychopath? Could it be that the murderer kills randomly, without any purpose? Shen Fengyue scratched his head irritably. He decided to request leave from his teacher after class to go see Wei Tianze in the hospital.
When the class ended, he told his teacher what he had in mind. The teacher knew that he and Wei Tianze were good friends, so he understood his concern and granted him a leave of absence.
When Shen Fengyue was leaving the office with his leave slip, he bumped into Qin Yuan, who was rushing towards him like a mini submachine gun, and grunted in pain.
Qin Yuan ricocheted after hitting someone and took two steps back. After standing firm, he found that the person he hit was Shen Fengyue and immediately apologized.
Shen Fengyue saw his backward movement.
The system also saw it, and it praised him, "Not bad, his small body frame is quite stable."
Shen Fengyue, "…"
Shen Fengyue pretended not to hear and asked Qin Yuan, "Is there anything urgent, why are you running so fast?"
Qin Yuan said, "I heard, I heard that Wei Tianze was hospitalized. I was a little worried about him, so I wanted to, wanted to go see him."
Qin Yuan was truly a little angel, Wei Tianze was bullying him so much, and he could still think like this. Shen Fengyue smiled happily, couldn't help but ruffle his hair. He said softly, "I'm very happy for your thoughtfulness, let's go together after asking for leave from the teacher."
The hospital that Wei Tianze was in was a largely-known hospital in the city. It was well equipped with medical facilities, good sanitation, a serene environment, and a pond was built for the patients who like to take walks downstairs. Shen Fengyue wasn't interested in admiring the beautiful scenery inside the hospital and was preoccupied with thoughts of Wei Tianze.
He bought a bunch of carnations on the way there and put them in a vase when he arrived inside the hospital room.
The hospital had the most monotonous color in the world – white, an overwhelmingly amount of white: white walls, white sheets, white bedding, appearing both cold and deserted. People in this boundless white will be more vulnerable.
Now there's a bouquet of pink carnations in the vase, and the playful pink in the middle of a large amount of white added a touch of life.
Wei Tianze was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and his eyes closed. The white bedding covering his body also covered the wound, but Shen Fengyue guessed that he was seriously injured. Wei Tianze still had an IV drip in his hand, and several bottles of medicine that were to be infused were hanging on the stent. His brows were furrowed, making him look restless in his sleep.
Shen Fengyue dragged two benches near the bed. Wei Tianze was sleeping lightly, and even the smallest sound could wake him up. When Shen Fengyue pulled Qin Yuan down, he found that Wei Tianze was awake, as he faced his half-opened eyes.
"Tianze, Qin Yuan and I came to see you."
Wei Tianze blinked with his half-opened eyes before they opened completely. Wei Tianze looked at him, opened his mouth slightly, and said with difficulty: "Mm."
"Do you want to drink water?" He noticed that Wei Tianze's lips were a little dry, and he might not have drunk water for a long time. "You can't drink it directly now. I will put a cotton swab on your lips."
"Ok."
Shen Fengyue went to pick up a glass of water, flipped out a medical cotton swab from the cabinet, and dabbed some water onto his lips.
Shen Fengyue was a very patient person. This matter was so monotonous and boring, yet he was not at all impatient. He was very careful as he dabbed Wei Tianze's lips with water, again and again, dripping it into Wei Tianze's mouth through the gap between his lips. Although it was a little he was satisfied.
Shen Fengyue stopped when he saw that the water was almost done, and he put the paper cup aside.
"You…" He tucked the quilt for Wei Tianze and sighed, "Why are you so careless?"
Wei Tianze blinked with light in his eyes.
Shen Fengyue thought that it would be boring to be lying down like this, so he proposed, "I'll tell you a story to pass the time."
"Mm." Wei Tianze agreed.
So Shen Fengyue began to talk. He spoke colorfully, and the story was lifelike and very pleasant. Wei Tianze enjoyed listening to it, with a smile on his face, but he dared not laugh too much for he feared that the wound would break open.
For a while, the entire ward was filled with a feeling of relaxation and pleasure. Wei Tianze was happy because Shen Fengyue came to see him, and Shen Fengyue was happy to see him get better, but only one person was the opposite.
Qin Yuan felt that this scene was so dazzling, and he was like an outsider who couldn't enter their world and was blocked outside.
He began to think viciously, complaining about why that person didn't cut off the root of the problem last night, complaining that why someone passed by and obstructed that person last night…
He was really, really jealous, so jealous, he felt like he was going crazy with jealousy; he was jealous to death.
"Tianze, Qin Yuan also came to see you." After being mentioned suddenly, Qin Yuan looked at Shen Fengyue and then at Wei Tianze, who was lying on the bed.
Wei Tianze nodded slightly, as he was not interested in him.
Shen Fengyue knew that he was still angry and upset, so he stopped mentioning Qin Yuan and only talked to him about other things, and the atmosphere became warm again.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Fengyue and Qin Yuan said their goodbyes to Wei Tianze. Although Wei Tianze seemed to want him to stay, thinking that he shouldn't disturb his rest, Shen Fengyue insisted on leaving.
"Remember to visit me more often."
Shen Fengyue nodded and said that he would definitely visit him often.
Walking out of the hospital, on the road, Shen Fengyue spoke to Qin Yuan who was beside him, "Why do you think Wei Tianze was so unlucky to run into this kind of thing?"
As soon as Qin Yuan wanted to answer, he felt that his body began to be out of control, followed by another personality taking control of his body.
[You've fronted for so long, it's my turn.]
"Yes, he was really unlucky." He followed with a sigh.
"Ugh." Shen Fengyue didn't have much desire to speak and sighed again.
Once he became silent, Qin Yuan didn't know what to say either, so the two went back to school silently.
The murderer was lurking in the dark. Even if he couldn't be caught, life would still go on as usual. The days after Shen Fengyue's arrival went smoothly except for receiving the usual love letters from the murderer.
He studied daily, and on weekends, he went to the hospital to visit Wei Tianze
But today, it was destined to be an unusual day.
Among the students, good-looking boys will certainly be very popular with girls, but most of the girls were very shy and introverted. They usually only write love letters to confess their love. Very few people had the courage to confess in person
——But today Shen Fengyue encountered one.
This girl can be said to be very courageous.
Shen Fengyue was answering Qi Yuan's questions at the time. Just when he drew a few auxiliary lines to explain, he heard a crisp female voice outside the door. She shouted, "Jian!"
Shen Fengyue looked up curiously. The girl had also brought a few of her friends, and when she saw that he actually responded, she screamed excitedly.
The girl blushed, but she said boldly, "Jian, come out, I have something to tell you."
As soon as his classmates heard this, they knew that something was up, so they immediately stopped what they were doing and began to cheer.
Shen Fengyue felt that he shouldn't embarrass the girl, as he figured that she wanted to confess to him. He put down his pen and asked Qin Yuan to look over the remaining questions on his own first, and told him he would help after he returned.
Qin Yuan clenched the pen tightly and kept poking small black dots on the question and then furiously, he drew a big cross on the paper, the tip of the pen cutting through it.
The noise from the crowd outside was so loud that he couldn't even pretend that he couldn't hear it, so he got up and followed.
The girl's name was Shen Yao, she was the beauty of another class. She was petite with long, smooth black hair. She wore her hair loose and had pinned a small hairpin on the side. In order to meet her sweetheart, she also put on some bright red lipstick.
She called Shen Fengyue to a shady place inside the playground, made up of tall tree branches. She stared at him without blinking, and after staring at him for a while, she felt it was rude so she turned her head.
Today's weather was just right, the sun wasn't too bright and shining warmly on the person, just right.
Maybe God was helping her with this confession. She thought so optimistically.
Jian Yan was born fair. When he was in the sun, his white skin looked very dazzling.
Sunlight shone on him through the gaps in the leaves, reflecting spots of light, making his whole person seem to be shining.
He stood upright in front of her at this moment.
It was a sight to behold, hence Shen Yao's heart thumped, her cheeks began to heat up, her hands and feet were cold with tension. She covered her cheeks with her cold hands and cooled her face. She was afraid that she might explode if she didn't cool down.
After Shen Yao calmed down a bit, she became nervous again when she met Shen Fengyue's sincere eyes.
Oh, why is she so useless! After stomping her feet, she didn't care about anything and directly began to express her feelings to her sweetheart.
"Jian, I like you!"
Shen Fengyue listened and motioned for her to continue.
Shen Yao seemed to be greatly encouraged and continued to say excitedly: "I have followed you since I entered the first year of high school!"
"At that time, when you spoke on the podium on behalf of the freshmen, you were elegant and talented. It was really attractive."
"Since then, I have been paying attention to you, just wondering, what would such a wonderful person be like?"
The wind blew and messed up the girl's hair. She raised her hand and pinned one of her hair locks behind her ear. This action made her look very charming and lovely. She bit her lip, then let it go, speaking softly, "Then I realized, ah, I like this wonderful person."
"The so-called love at first sight is probably being attracted to a person the first you see them, and then you can't help but look at that person for the second and third time. Your attention strays to that person again and again. Then your feelings sink deeper and deeper…"
She laughed, "I don't know how to say it nicely, and I am very nervous right now, but I hope you can feel my heartfelt confession."
"My name is Shen Yao, an ordinary girl who has liked you and paid attention to you for a long time."
Finally, she stretched out a hand to Shen Fengyue, stating her ultimate goal:
"So, would you, would you like to go out with me?"
As soon as the girl stopped talking, the air seemed to stand still. She was afraid of such silence and raised her eyes to look at Shen Fengyue nervously.
System, "Young man, not bad, this is quite rare."
Shen Fengyue didn't have time to deal with that string of data. For a while, he had been thinking about how to reject this girl without hurting her.
Yes, falling in love is impossible, absolutely impossible. Shen Fengyue can distinguish between reality and virtuality. This is a virtual world. No matter how real it looked, it was still fake.
He will never place emotions in these false worlds.
He opened his mouth.
Everyone was nervous about his reply; the system was nervous, the girl was nervous, and the people around him were nervous.
Qin Yuan was also nervous. He stood in an unobtrusive place, watching all this, and frowned when he heard what the girl said.
His eyes flashed, as he stared at them dead on.
Shen Fengyue gently put his hand on Shen Yao's wrist and held it, returning her hand to its original position.
Shen Yao immediately felt lost. From this action, she knew that she was being rejected, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to listen to Shen Fengyue's words.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept this request." Shen Fengyue withdrew her hand, refusing simply and neatly, "I don't have any thoughts of falling in love yet."
The system asked him, "Is this really okay? Refusing so cruelly and heartlessly."
Shen Fengyue said, "This is good. The so-called long-term pain is worse than the short-term one. The most tormenting thing is to not accept someone and still giving them false hope."
System, "Young man, your three views are right, I like it!"
Shen Fengyue looked at the girl's lost expression, and said, "I am new to your feelings. Thank you for liking me for so long. You are also an excellent girl and I sincerely wish you happiness when you find someone who will love you from the bottom of their heart."
Shen Yao smiled bitterly, but still thanked him, "Thank you."
"Do you need me to take you back?"
"No." Shen Yao shook her head, rejecting his kindness, "I want to stay here alone for a while."
So Shen Fengyue went back alone. When the crowd saw him walking out alone, they knew that it didn't work out so they no longer said anything.
Shen Yao leaned against the tree trunk, her eyes red.
Qin Yuan looked at her twice and went back.
