Chapter 7 Sickness

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Chi Tang sat on her bed, pressed his forehead hard, and then slugged for a while before saying in a hoarse voice: "No, just have a sleep."

After saying that, she went to the bathroom, and when she came out again, her face was wet, and she crawled back to the upper bunk and lay down.

You Yu was already packing up and ready to go out. She looked at Chi Tang's back, hesitated for a while, but still got up and left and brought it to the door.

There is a community near No. 1 Middle School where many teachers live, and their head teacher Lao Fang also lives there. Lao Fang has both children, his wife is very capable, and his family is happy. You Yu feels envious every time he sees it. She entered the community and came to the door of the head teacher's house with familiarity.

"You Yu is here. Have you had breakfast? Come in and have a meal together." The teacher's wife opened the door for her and greeted her with a smile, "It's the same as before. Today, you can help with the two demon kings in my family. Have lunch at home. What do you want to eat? Master's wife will buy it later."

You Yu stood at the door and didn't go in. He pursed his lips and felt embarrassed: "Master's wife, I can't make up for Yangyang and the others today. There's something wrong... I'm here to say to you, sorry."

The teacher's wife was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's not a big deal, so I'm sorry." She originally wanted to say that she would just call and say something. But she remembered that this child was different from other children in her husband's class. She was so difficult and almost struggled to study in class. When she came, she had almost nothing, and she didn't have a cell phone.

She sighed in her heart and asked again: "What's wrong? Have you encountered something? If you have any difficulties, tell your teacher's wife."

Seeing her worried expression, You Yu shook his head, "No, it's my deskmate Chi Tang. She is resting in the dormitory and has a fever. I'll stay in the dormitory to take care of her."

The teacher's wife was surprised: "Is she sick with a fever? Why don't I notify my family to pick her up? I'll ask Lao Fang about her family's contact information."

"Master's wife." You Yu stopped her: "Chi Tang came over in the rain last night. She was beaten on the face. It should be because she had a fight with her family. If she wanted to go home, she wouldn't stay in the dormitory."

If she could go home, she would want to go home when she was feeling uncomfortable. Not going back only means that she would feel even more uncomfortable when she went back. You Yu could understand this feeling.

"I'm watching in the dormitory. If she hasn't recovered in the afternoon, I'll take her to the hospital."

When she heard You Yu say organizedly that the teacher's wife had nothing to say. Seeing You Yu leaving, she thought of something and hurriedly said, "Wait, you haven't eaten either. You cooked porridge and steamed buns at home. Take some back."

Seeing You Yu subconsciously refused, she said, "Chi Tang is sick, and he has to eat even when he is sick. It is best to drink some porridge."

You Yu then stopped, "...Okay, thank you, my wife."

Carrying the porridge, buns and two bottles of milk from the teacher's wife, You Yu walked to the dormitory. When he opened the door, he found that Chi Tang on the upper bunk was missing. She stood there for a while before putting the still hot food in her hand on the table, pulled open the chair and sat down.

She put her hands on her back and thought, is Chi Tang going home? It's pretty good, just as long as she can go home.

It rained so heavily yesterday, but today it was a sunny day. The bright sunlight shone in from outside the window and shone on the table, which was a bit dazzling.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and her hair was covered in pitch black and messy. Chi Tang, wearing a sweatshirt, walked in with a small bag. She was also a little surprised to see You Yu sitting there. She just got up and was about to go out to buy medicine, but she didn't see You Yu. She thought she had something to do when she went out, but she didn't expect to come back in a while.

You Yu saw clearly that the bag in Chi Tang's hand had a red "xx clinic" printed on it. It was the name of the clinic outside the school. She probably went to buy antipyretics.

Sure enough, Chi Tang opened the bag, took out the pills, put them directly into his mouth, ready to swallow them dryly. You Yu got up, took the thermos bottle, poured a glass of water, and silently pushed it to Chi Tang's hand.

Chi Tang had a unique skill, swallowing pills, but this time he didn't know why, maybe his throat was too dry and he overturned the car and couldn't swallow it. He almost choked up and could only pick up the glass of water that he didn't plan to pay attention to and drank it in a big gulp.

You Yu had already opened the packaged porridge, "Drink some porridge before resting."

When Chi Tang was feeling uncomfortable, he felt very bad. When he was in a bad mood, he had a very bad temper and didn't want to pay attention to others. However, due to the situation, he just drank the water he poured by others. Now he is embarrassed to turn against him, so he just pinched the cup with his face and didn't respond.

She looked at the porridge and thought it was bought by You Yu in a breakfast shop outside. Thinking of her usual way of eating white rice and eating steamed buns, Chi Tang, who never knew what was wasted, endured the discomfort and drank half a bowl.

Perhaps it was to repay her for the inexplicable gift last night. Thinking of this, if she didn't drink it, wouldn't this matter be over?

Chi Tang, the lone wolf who had already broken his grudges, climbed up the upper bunk and lay down, leaving a cold back for his deskmate.

You Yu: It’s so depressed, it seems that it’s really uncomfortable.

She packed up the porridge box and sat on the table to continue studying. However, compared to her previous addiction, she would now look up at Chi Tang from time to time.

Chi Tang was feverish and sweated in her sleep. She often rolled the quilt into a ball and squeezed it aside with annoyance. You Yu stepped on the edge of the bed and covered her again and again. Once Chi Tang was awakened by her, and her whole body exuded a irritable aura, "I won't cover it."

You Yu grabbed the railing and asked her seriously: "Then do you drink hot water?"

Chi Tang hammered the bed angrily.

You Yu put his hand on her forehead: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Chi Tang rolled up the quilt to cover his head and ignored others.

You Yu went back to write the test paper. As he was writing, a laughing smile appeared on his face, and he covered it with his hands without making a sound.

In the end, she didn't go to the hospital. The next morning, Chi Tang's fever subsided. She swept away the depressed and gloomy disease before, and became the girl who didn't care much and looked cool. She moved a chair to sit on the balcony, with her back facing the sun, played games with one leg hanging, and her headphones hung on her ears.

When she was fascinated by playing with her mobile phone, she would relax and unconsciously hummed with the song in her headphones. You Yu's idea of ​​solving the problem and listened quietly to the humming. She didn't know what song this was, but this song was very nice. Chi Tang sang it very well and his voice was clear and singing.

The phone vibrated for a moment, Chi Tang's singing stopped. She clicked on WeChat and saw her father transferring her a thousand yuan and asking her to buy food outside.

It was always like this. Her father scolded her and beat her. She left the house and wandered around. When her father felt that she should have reflected outside, he gave her some money. This was a disguised way of giving her the explanation of the two slaps.

They had an argument, and her father said with confidence: "What's wrong with me hitting you? I've given you the money. Are you still not satisfied? What else do you want?!"

What did she want? When she was younger, she wanted her dad to say to her: "It's dad who was wrong. Dad didn't consider your idea. Dad shouldn't hit you, there won't be another time."

But now, she no longer wants to grow up faster and get faster. When she becomes an adult, she leaves that home as far away as possible.

A few days after the holiday, Chi Tang didn't go back. She stayed in the dormitory and sometimes went to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet. You Yu left regularly in the morning and in the afternoon. Chi Tang saw that she brought math books with her every day when she went out. Once, she saw her walking to the teacher's community, and guessed that she was either going to be a student or a teacher for others.

The two of them would talk occasionally, and Chi Tang asked her one night: "Do you really have no money to buy a bra?"

You Yu did not shy away and said, "It's not a very necessary thing now, I won't buy it."

Chi Tang: "Then how much does your living expenses per week?"

You Yu: "Ten yuan."

Chi Tang: "????"

When this bottle of mineral water is sold for two yuan, how can you spend a week of ten yuan? Chi Tang couldn't believe it, but You Yu was not lying.

She never took the initiative to talk about her family in the class. No matter how others talked about it or joked, she remained silent, but on this night, she took the initiative to speak something.

She said: "My family is not allowed to continue to go to school. I got here. The school used to give me a bonus of 1,200 yuan, and my teacher. She knew that my family would definitely not give me money, so she gave me 800 yuan, but all of this money was stolen by my family in the end."

"When I ran here, I only had ten dollars on it, which I secretly saved. I borrowed two hundred dollars from my teacher's wife. When the holiday came, I would go find some job to make money."

Chi Tang didn't know what to say. She had never encountered such a dilemma. She should be sympathetic when facing a tragic classmate. However, when You Yu said this, the calmness and seriousness conveyed from the bottom of his heart could not make people feel pity, but only felt awe.

She was silent for too long, and You Yu comforted her: "Actually, I am very lucky. I can still study here, and it will only get better and better in the future."

Chi Tang thought that she was not the same person as herself, she was the same person as her. You Yu had something firm in his heart, but she didn't.

The bunk was up and down, across a bed, and through a layer of moonlight. Chi Tang suddenly felt that she was so cowardly, and she almost became bored with such herself.

"Actually, I have never seen someone like you." You Yu suddenly said.

"The love letter that time... many people know that I didn't write it, but you alone will tell it. You are different from them."

Chi Tang opened his mouth and felt that the onion in his heart had been peeled off a layer of rotten skin. She wanted to say something, but in the end she just hummed softly and turned over to end the topic.

The author has something to say:

It's a story of mutual healing
