I arrived at the bottom of my building.
Gaoyuan: "I'll just take you here."
Me: "Okay."
Gaoyuan: "You can go up now."
Me: "Mm."
I turned to leave.
Gaoyuan: "Li Wan."
Me: "Hmm?"
Gaoyuan: "What did you call me when you were little?"
Me: "..."
Gaoyuan: "You called me Brother Yuan."
Me: "..."
Gaoyuan: "Why don't you try calling me that again?"
Me: "..."
I shook my head: "No."
Gaoyuan: "Why not?"
Me: "It's kind of embarrassing."
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan: "Then give me a kiss."
Me: "..."
I stood on my tiptoes and gently kissed his cheek.
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan was stunned.
Me: "Can I go now?"
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan pressed his lips together and nodded gently.
Me: "Goodbye."
Gaoyuan: "Goodbye."
After I went upstairs, I saw Gaoyuan still standing in the same spot through the window.
I sighed and turned to go inside.
That night, Gaoyuan lay in bed, tossing and turning unable to sleep.
Images of Li Wan kissing his cheek kept flashing through his mind.
Gaoyuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
"I just haven't been with a girl for too long," he thought.
"Yeah, that's definitely it."
"I'll just take a cold shower."
Gaoyuan got out of bed and walked toward the bathroom.
After finishing his shower, a sudden sharp pain shot through his stomach.
Gaoyuan's expression darkened.
He had been overmedicating recently, causing side effects in his body.
He worried that Li Wan would discover his health issues.
He didn't want her to see his vulnerable side.
Lu Ruo came out after her shower, wearing a bathrobe.
"I'm going out to buy something. Do you need anything?" she asked.
"Just bring the room card," Gaoyuan replied.
"Got it," Lu Ruo said before leaving.
Once she was gone, the pain in Gaoyuan's stomach intensified.
He could barely stand and had to lean against the wall for support.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips were pale.
He looked extremely weak.
Gaoyuan: "......"
Gaoyuan tried to stand up, but the intense dizziness nearly made him fall.
Gaoyuan: "......"
He bit down hard on his arm, the pain keeping him awake.
Gaoyuan: "......"
He walked step by step to the bedside, trying to find medicine to alleviate his suffering.
Gaoyuan remembered that the medicine was in the bedside drawer.
He opened the paper package, and due to the physical exhaustion earlier, his hands were trembling.
Gaoyuan: "......"
Gaoyuan swallowed a white pill.
Gaoyuan: "......"
After a few minutes, the pain did not ease; instead, he vomited and expelled the medicine.
Gaoyuan: "......"
Gaoyuan's body began to feel cold, his clothes soaked in a large patch, and his hands were icy.
Gaoyuan: "......"
This situation could not continue.
……
When it was time to gather, everyone went to the hall to prepare for dinner.
Li Wan stood among the crowd, looking around.
Li Wan: "......"
Li Wan walked over to Zhang Qian, quietly asking, "Where's Gaoyuan?"
Zhang Qian: "I don't know."
Li Wan: "......"
Li Wan took out her phone and called Gaoyuan.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered.
Li Wan: "Where are you?"
Gaoyuan: "In my room."
Li Wan: "Why aren't you coming to eat?"
Gaoyuan: "I'm tired, I don't want to go."
Li Wan: "......"
Gaoyuan: "Please tell the teacher for me."
Li Wan: "..."
Li Wan pressed her lips together and said, "Okay."
Li Wan hung up the phone and continued with the group to the dining location.
...
Gaoyuan tossed his phone aside and closed his eyes.
The pain blurred his consciousness, and breathing became difficult.
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan bit his lip hard, trying to stay awake.
He couldn't die here.
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan fumbled to pick up his phone and called Zhou Shu.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered.
Zhou Shu: "Yuan?"
Gaoyuan: "I'm having an episode."
Zhou Shu: "What?"
Gaoyuan: "I'm having an episode."
Zhou Shu: "Where are you right now?"
Gaoyuan: "At the hotel."
Zhou Shu: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan hung up the phone and curled up on the bed.
