Chapter 101 Buying Snacks

  Fang Qing felt much better after taking the medicine. Except for the redness and swelling on her face, her body didn’t itch or hurt as much.

  As soon as she got off the car, Fang Qing heard this and felt embarrassed, “Xiaoyu, it’s already this late and many stores are closed. Why don’t we go tomorrow?”

  But Tang Xiaoyu pouted and said with tears in her eyes, “But I haven’t eaten the cakes from that store for a long time, and that store is only open in the afternoon. It’s useless to go at other times…”

  Fang Qing looked at the two baskets of peaches at her feet and felt a little embarrassed. She was struggling to decide what to do when several classmates took the initiative to help her send the peaches back to the dormitory.

  Fang Qing looked at her watch. It was already past seven o’clock. The street lights had been on for a long time, but there were still people coming and going on the street. It was relatively safe.

  Finally, she couldn’t resist Tang Xiaoyu’s nagging and agreed to go with her to buy cakes.

  The store was not far away. It was just hidden in a residential area and had to go through several alleys.

  But when they got there, Tang Xiaoyu started complaining about being tired and wanted to rest at a noodle shop nearby, asking Fang Qing to help her queue up.

  Fang Qing endured her hunger, memorized the name of the pastries, entered the shop and started queuing up.

  The pastries in the shop were indeed famous, and many people in the surrounding area were buying them to give as Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to relatives and friends. Fang Qing thought of her father's love for these pastries, so she bought two boxes as well.

  But just as she was leaving the shop with three boxes of pastries, she heard a familiar scream.

  It was Tang Xiaoyu!

  Fang Qing immediately ran towards the sound and found Tang Xiaoyu kneeling on the ground, with the beautiful shoulder bag on her body missing!

  "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

  Tang Xiaoyu cried, pointing at the figure that was flying in the distance, "Quick! My bag!"

  Fang Qing threw down her things and chased after him!

  Fortunately, in order to go out and play today, Fang Qing changed into comfortable and loose clothes, and wore white sneakers on her feet. She ran exceptionally fast, and soon caught up with the robber in a crowded area.

  The robber didn't expect that someone was chasing him. He pushed aside the person next to him and ran out again.

  Fang Qing was tired after all after a day's work. Seeing that he was about to run away again, she immediately grabbed the scattered goods on the stall and threw them out like a shot put.

  "Ouch! Fuck you!" The robber was hit on the back of the head and fell to the ground. Although he was not seriously injured, his mind was still a little confused.

  Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps forward and pinned the man down. Then, with the help of the people around him, she sent him to the nearby police station.

  Fang Qing thought of the long transcript that she had quietly slipped away. When she ran back to the pastry shop with her bag, she saw Tang Xiaoyu squatting on the roadside waiting for her pitifully. Her heart softened immediately.

  "Xiaoyu, the bag is back. Check to see if anything is missing."

  But Tang Xiaoyu suddenly stood up, hugged Fang Qing and started crying, "Qingqing, I was so scared. That man was holding a knife just now. I almost got disfigured..."

  Fang Qing didn't expect there would be such a thing. He immediately got angry and dragged Tang Xiaoyu to the police station to file a complaint. But Tang Xiaoyu was already scared. She held Fang Qing tightly and insisted on going back to school.

  "Forget it, let's go back. I don't want to stay here anymore."

  Fang Qing had been tossing and turning for a long time. Now he felt a little tired when he relaxed. The main thing was that he had run too hard just now and his feet were a little sore.

  "Okay, let's go back to school first."

  The two of them didn't have any unpleasantness on the way. They returned to school safely with their things. Fang Qing ran into Wen Ning just after arriving downstairs of the dormitory.

  Wen Ning's face was a little gloomy. He clenched his fists and walked over slowly. "Why are you back so late?"

  Fang Qing sighed and was about to explain what happened today when Tang Xiaoyu suddenly ran over from behind and threw herself into Wen Ning's arms when Wen Ning was not paying attention.

  "Brother Ning, I'm so scared. I just met a bad guy..."

  Wen Ning frowned and pushed Tang Xiaoyu away. Seeing that she was crying loudly and her hands clutching her sleeves were still shaking, he was sure that she was not acting and looked at Fang Qing quietly.

  Fang Qing briefly explained what happened just now. He felt more and more exhausted. He handed all the things to Wen Ning and said weakly, "These are the cakes I bought. Please help me take them back to my hometown tomorrow. I'm a little tired today. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

  "What's wrong with you? You don't look well. I'll take you to see a doctor." Wen Ning stopped Fang Qing and pulled her to the infirmary. However, Tang Xiaoyu beside her was not happy.

  "Brother Ning, I was the one who was frightened. Why didn't you comfort me? What could have happened to her that she needed to go to the infirmary?"

  Wen Ning, hugging Fang Qing, could clearly feel her weakness. He was already frowning anxiously, but when he heard Tang Xiaoyu's complaints, his heart surged with anger. He turned his head with a sullen face, his eyes narrowed slightly.

  Thinking of the call he had received from Uncle Tang today, Wen Ning swallowed the rebuke on the tip of his tongue, but his words still lingered with anger.

  "Although you've been wronged by what happened today, you're also responsible. Go back to the hotel and reflect on it. Come back to me when you've made up your mind."

  With that, Wen Ning ignored Tang Xiaoyu and rushed straight to the school infirmary, carrying Fang Qing, who was feeling a bit feverish.

  After examining Fang Qing, the teacher on duty at the school clinic confirmed that nothing serious was happening and gave Wen Ning a few bottles of medicine. "Your girlfriend has some allergic symptoms and has probably been feeling a bit tired and anxious lately. Plus, the weather has turned cooler recently, and the cold air has entered her body, causing a fever. Go back and have a good rest, stay warm and nutritious, and stay away from allergens, and you'll be fine."

  Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that it would be inconvenient to take care of Fang Qing in the dormitory, he simply carried her to the school guesthouse, booked a room, said hello to the dormitory, packed up a bunch of things, and took care of Fang Qing all night.

  In the middle of the night, Fang Qing had indeed developed a fever and was completely disoriented. Wen Ning gave Fang Qing some antipyretics, but seeing no effect, he blindfolded him and carefully removed his coat, leaving only his vest and shorts underneath. He then used a towel soaked in white wine to physically cool him down, which quickly brought Fang Qing's fever down.

  In the morning, Fang Qing woke up in a daze. He was startled by the unfamiliar surroundings. He was covered in a quilt, only wearing a vest and shorts. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Why was he here?
  The door opened with a click.

  Fang Qing, clutching the quilt, watched Wen Ning walk in with a lunch box. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then a thought occurred to him, and his face flushed.

  "I... why am I here?"

  Wen Ning had been guarding her all night, his handsome face now full of fatigue. Seeing her wake up, he smiled. "You weren't in good condition yesterday, and you were a little confused when you got to the infirmary. I was worried that you would have a high fever like last time tonight, and the people in your dormitory wouldn't be able to take good care of you, so I brought you here."

  As he said that, Wen Ning put down his lunch box, sat down and touched Fang Qing's forehead. "Well, the fever is gone. Come, eat something, and I'll take you back later."

  Fang Qing looked at the dark circles under Wen Ning's eyes and felt a little distressed. "Don't do this in the future. I'll just take some medicine. You have dark circles under your eyes after staying up all night."

  Wen Ning scooped a spoonful of white porridge and handed it to her, smiling sweetly. "Okay, I'll do as you say. Open your mouth."
