Chapter 6, Hidden Illness

As usual, Sui Yi asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Ziyuan cast a faint glance at the two individuals, appearing unremarkable yet exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure

Do you not recognize the great figures of the School of Mechanical Engineering

This is the first time they have been so close to each other

I am truly envious

Sanbao felt anxious, "Ayi, are you feeling unwell?"

At the time when the sky was gradually darkening and the lights in the room were not turned on, the indoor lighting was somewhat dim. With just a glance, Yi felt that Xiao Ziyuan possessed an enchanting quality. Perhaps it was his always indifferent expression; at this moment, his narrow eyes, filled with a hint of laughter, slanted towards his temples. The clear and beautiful lines of his entire face left her momentarily stunned and somewhat moved.

A few days later, when attending the meeting again, Sui Yi still appeared disinterested, sitting in her seat in an unusually silent manner

Xiao Ziyuan nodded slightly, his tone softened a bit, "Please take a seat, we will begin shortly"

Falling onto the bed in a daze, I replied sullenly, "No, not at all."

As the darkness before me gradually fades away, I finally lift my head, feeling somewhat lost, "Thank you, senior brother."

Nodding in understanding, he looked in the direction of Sanbao and said, "Corruption is indeed contagious"

On the way, Xiao Ziyuan bought her a cup of hot milk, which Suiyi held in her hands, sipping it intermittently.

Oh, congratulations!" Suiyi seemed to respond quickly with great joy.

She frowned, "Today was supposed to be fine, but Sanbao insisted on telling me a joke, and after hearing it... it felt so strange"

During a free discussion, I overheard two boys chatting quietly beside me

Then, Senior Brother, we will take our leave first

Then you should also consider who is borrowing it

We are sorry, we were wrong, and it will not happen again

Xiao Ziyuan looked at her for a few seconds, and although he found her strange, he did not ask further

"You all go ahead, I still need to find some information," Xiao Ziyuan looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around to speak to the others

After shouting slogans, he gathered in front of the computer to continue playing games, mumbling to himself, "Liang Qichao ended up damaging his kidneys because he was with Kang Youwei. As a result, during the kidney removal surgery, a healthy kidney was mistakenly cut out, leading to his demise. This shows that Liang Qichao's life was extremely unreliable... The internet is right, the wind is bleak and the waters of the Yi River are cold, it is difficult to find a straight man in life..."

As I reminisce, I touch my own face, "Did I smile?"

She sat still, afraid to move, and sent a text message to Sanbao. Halfway through composing it, she remembered that the three of them had gone to the city center to watch a movie. By the time they returned, it would be dark, so it would be better for her to run back by herself when it got dark.

He Ge and the enchantress were stifling their laughter in front of the computer, while San Bao immediately sat up straight and said, "A Yi, I was wrong!"

Then we will take our leave, goodbye

The group members arrived one after another, and as the time approached, they entered the conference room on the second floor

She hesitated for a moment, and when she left, it was just her and Xiao Ziyuan.

Isn't it said that this conference room cannot be borrowed? Last time our department wanted to borrow it for use, but it was not allowed

A moment of nostalgia in my writing, you are going abroad, how enviable

Ah, who exactly is Brother Xiao?

As she passed by, she glanced at him and replied absentmindedly, "Alright, just hit the enter key."

Xiao Ziyuan retracted his arm and naturally took her hand, "Let's go"

When parting downstairs, Xiao Ziyuan said something that left Sui Yi in a state of distraction for the entire evening thereafter

Sanbao is writing a medical report, typing away on the keyboard while complaining, "Darn it, studying medicine is so tough! If I had known, I would have chosen to study agriculture! Is it possible to switch fields?!"

Well, I have obtained a full scholarship from a prestigious foreign university, and I will go abroad after graduation

Upon leaving the library, a breeze arose in the evening. Xiao Ziyuan was only wearing a shirt, and Sui Yi felt a twinge of conscience. "Xiao Shixiong... are you cold?"

Ah, isn't he about to graduate soon

Xiao Ziyuan said, you are too thin, eat more in the future, it should feel better to hold you.

Good

In the eyes of the three individuals, Suiyi is the kind of open-minded girl who is rarely seen. She calmly smiles and resolves any situation she encounters, and even in silence, her smile remains radiant.

Immediately, someone approached and asked, "Who borrowed it?"

After that, the two individuals remained silent all the way.

I do not like people who are not punctual

Little did they know that within a few minutes, a warm current flowed from the lower abdomen, and in an instant, they felt as if they were on the brink of death

Senior Brother Xiao

She had always thought that boys did not need to be particularly good-looking, and that even good-looking boys were nothing special. Now, she unexpectedly felt her heart race and her cheeks flush at the sight of Xiao Ziyuan. She and Xiao Ziyuan were not strangers; they had known each other for some time, and she always felt that his presence was overwhelming, something she could not handle, which made her hesitant to look at him closely. However, a casual glance now left her astonished, and she regretted looking at him in the first place.

Sitting upright, I said, "I... I will wait a little longer."

Xiao Ziyuan smiled slightly and responded with a hint of mockery, "It's cold, are you going to return my clothes to me?"

Do not be envious, there is no comparison. I heard he has published several papers in SCI, and the impact factors are quite high

People nearby were calling her one after another, "Suiyi, are you not leaving yet?"

After taking attendance, it was discovered that two individuals were missing. Xiao Ziyuan sat at the center of the conference table, expressionless, watching the hands of the clock point to that number. It was not until another ten minutes had passed that those two individuals finally arrived.

He stopped and asked, "What happened?"

Upon raising my gaze, I met those deep-set eyes, the corners of the lips slightly upturned as if holding a hint of a smile

She was wearing his clothes, and the familiar scent of mint lingered around her, causing her heart to suddenly stir

As he spoke, He Ge walked in from outside with a conflicted expression, seemingly deep in thought

I don't know

It turns out that men can be quite gossipy as well

The morning passed quickly, with an extremely high level of efficiency. Although Yi originally thought that it would be difficult to collaborate with so many people, at this moment she had to admit that under Xiao Ziyuan's outstanding appearance and demeanor, his abilities were equally remarkable

I have never seen her looking so troubled and frowning like this before

Startled by the memory, "It's nothing, Senior Brother, please continue."

Caught in reminiscence, "Hehe..."

The enchantress and Sanbao both shook their heads

The enchantress poked her head out from the bed and remarked, "He Ge, you can no longer associate with San Bao, she has led you astray."

On an autumn evening, as the cold wind suddenly arose, he held her hand and walked together through the campus covered with fallen leaves. The warm and sweet milk he remembered seemed to flow into his heart, and that feeling lingered in his mind for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Sui Yi finally spoke after leaving the library, "I will return home to work after graduation, which has been decided a long time ago"

Xiao Ziyuan glanced at her and said, "What about you? Do you have any plans? If you want to go abroad, you can contact me."

In the mechanical turn of her body, stiff as she ascended the stairs, she seemed to have forgotten even to say goodbye, lost in the smile of Xiao Ziyuan

When she realized what had happened, her face turned even redder. In a fluster, she hurriedly put on her long coat and stood up abruptly. The sudden movement caused insufficient blood flow, and her vision darkened for a moment. The next second, she fell into Xiao Ziyuan's embrace

Xiao Ziyuan went out to take a phone call. When he returned, he saw that she was still there, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiao Ziyuan nodded, "Yes, it was decided a long time ago"

She only felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, which gave her a bad premonition. After some thought, she felt that something was amiss and could only hope that her premonition was wrong

Her fingers gently touched his palm, while his fingertips rested on the back of her hand; his fingertips were slightly cool, yet the palm was warm

Returning to the dormitory with a sense of contemplation, I felt a certain indescribable frustration

With a bittersweet smile, I cannot tell you that my stomach hurts

You fool, why are you talking so much for no reason

What did Sanbao say? Su Yi asked

Her face flushed with embarrassment, as it turned out he had noticed it

Suiyi tightly grasped Xiao Ziyuan's arm, and everything before her was pitch black. She could only feel the solid and strong support of his arm beneath her hand, with the clear and refreshing scent of mint in her nose

Everyone was once again taken aback

Xiao Ziyuan, halfway through his speech, noticed Sui Yi suddenly widen his eyes, followed by a frown, and then he began to move slightly with a look of unease on his face

How could he know about the hidden ailment of Suiyi

Returning to the dormitory, Sanbao, who was busy playing games, looked up at her and said, "Ayi, your smile is so strange!"

When only the two of them were left in the meeting room, Xiao Ziyuan took off his trench coat and handed it to Sui Yi, saying, "Put this on, I will take you home"

With a smile, Sui Yi responded, "You all go ahead, I will leave shortly, goodbye!"

As I was going downstairs, I casually asked, "Will Brother Xiao go abroad after graduation?"

Xiao Ziyuan looked at her originally rosy face, which had turned somewhat pale, and walked over to ask, "Are you feeling unwell? Why does your complexion look so bad?"

Xiao Ziyuan seemed to have the intention of taking care of her and ended things early, but Sui Yi still felt that her pants were already stained with blood, damp and cold.

He Ge lowered his voice and asked, "What happened to her?"

Sanbao suddenly stood up, raised his arm high, and shouted, "Revolution is innocent, rebellion is justified, and love is in the act of being gay"

A casually spoken remark made the two latecomers blush, prompting them to stand up and apologize to everyone

"Good." Xiao Ziyuan replied淡淡.

Reflecting on memories in the heart

Indeed, Brother Xiao is usually quite low-key

She said that after Liang Qichao married at the age of 17, he once thought that the years would pass by peacefully, until he met Kang Youwei... She laughed so hard that she rolled on the ground before finishing her story... I didn't hear the rest, and she didn't tell me anymore, but I felt something was off.

With a smile and eyes lowered, applying both grace and severity, it is indeed remarkable

Xiao Ziyuan did not call her, his thin lips slightly pursed as he patiently waited for her to regain her composure

I really have no issues, Senior Brother, you all can go ahead first. " Su Yi smiled and replied upon seeing that someone was still waiting at the door for Xiao Ziyuan.

With a bewildered expression, "What happened?"

Sui Yi felt that this man's aura was exceptionally powerful; even as an observer, she felt a chill, let alone the person involved.
