On that Monday morning, there was an early study session, a time when teachers rarely came to supervise. It was during this session that a conflict erupted once again.
As usual, Xu Nancheng and Lin Menghan entered the classroom hand in hand, chatting and laughing, everything appearing quite normal. However, during the early study period, Shen Yaoqi couldn't help but feel that if it weren't for Lin Menghan meddling, Chen Yi wouldn't have discovered her presence here. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Menghan and Xu Nancheng were engrossed in conversation, Shen Yaoqi suddenly poured some hot water onto Lin Menghan. Of course, the water wasn't hot enough to cause serious burns; it would only sting and redden her skin. After all, Shen Yaoqi wasn't foolish—if Lin Menghan got severely burned, her family would surely hold her responsible for the damages.
Lin Menghan felt a sharp pain on her arm and quickly withdrew her hand, leaning towards Xu Nancheng while frantically patting her burned arm with her other hand. Xu Nancheng reacted swiftly, catching Lin Menghan to prevent her from falling over. Seeing her in pain made him anxious, and he hurriedly asked, "Lin Menghan, what's wrong?"
"It's so hot!" Lin Menghan exclaimed as she rubbed her arm, her face paling in distress.
Shen Yaoqi smirked mischievously, resembling a scheming character from a television drama. Then she feigned concern and rushed over, "Oh no! Lin Menghan, are you okay? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!"
But Lin Menghan and Xu Nancheng had no time to deal with her. One was in pain while the other was focused on his girlfriend's well-being. They quickly asked Xu Dong for leave and took Lin Menghan to the infirmary.
In the school infirmary, the attending doctor was treating Lin Menghan's burn. It wasn't serious—just a minor burn—but Xu Nancheng refused to leave her side. He looked concerned as he squatted down to take Lin Menghan's hand but hesitated when he noticed the doctor nearby, fearing he might get reported.
Just as he reached out halfway, he pulled his hand back upon seeing the doctor smile at them. "If you want to hold hands, go ahead; I'm not a teacher," the doctor said casually.
Hearing this made Xu Nancheng less apprehensive. He boldly took Lin Menghan's small hand in his own without hesitation. Lin Menghan didn't pull away; instead, she naturally let him hold her.
"Does it still hurt?" Xu Nancheng asked with genuine concern on his face, making Lin Menghan smile. "Silly Nancheng! I'm not that fragile!"
"I'm sorry," Xu Nancheng said suddenly, shifting the topic from their playful banter to an apology.
Lin Menghan looked puzzled. "Nancheng, what are you apologizing for? It wasn't you who did it!" She genuinely couldn't understand why he felt the need to apologize.
Xu Nancheng held her hand tightly and shook his head with guilt written all over his face. "I promised to protect you that day and not let you get hurt..."
At that moment, the school doctor looked particularly uncomfortable; if only she had known earlier that they would act like this! How was she supposed to handle it now?
Lin Menghan was completely focused on Xu Nancheng and didn't even think about the doctor treating her injury. She freed her uninjured hand and gently ruffled Xu Nancheng's hair with a smile. "It's not as serious as you think! Besides, you're always so good to me."
The doctor beside them felt quite uncomfortable. If it weren't for her strong professionalism, she would have really wanted to kick them out at that moment.
But there was no point in dwelling on that. Xu Nancheng wanted to say something, but he was abruptly interrupted by Lin Menghan.
"Mm!" Xu Nancheng merely nodded, yet inside, he felt an even stronger urge to protect her, and his guilt intensified.
How should he respond to Lin Menghan? He couldn't understand how his Lin Menghan had ended up injured for no apparent reason.
Lin Menghan rested her chin on her hand, pondering for a moment. "It was Shen Yaoqi who did it. She splashed water on me from her cup."
She was certain that no one else could have done such a thing from her position except Shen Yaoqi. Moreover, she was convinced that Shen Yaoqi had done it on purpose; if it had been an accident, there was no way she could have splashed that much water on her.
At that moment, the doctor spoke up, "Alright, you can go now. Just be careful in the future! I don’t want to see you suffering like this again."
"Okay! Thank you, doctor!"
"Thank you so much!" The last words were spoken by Xu Nancheng, filled with gratitude.
With that, the two of them left the doctor's office.
When they arrived at the classroom, it was still not time for class to end. Xu Nancheng helped Lin Menghan sit down and then glanced over at Shen Yaoqi with eyes full of anger and hatred.
He would not forgive her just because she was Chen Yi's girlfriend—especially since she was his ex-girlfriend.
