Chapter 102 Easing
  As soon as Fang Qing returned to the dormitory, he was cornered by Wang Nan and Zhang Jiaqi.

  Wang Nan looked Fang Qing up and down with a sly smile on his face, "Tsk tsk tsk, I say, aren't you two too impatient? It's only been one day since we last met, are you so reluctant to part?

  You even went to..." The rest of Wang Nan's words were suppressed by Zhang Jiaqi, who glared at Wang Nan, then looked at Fang Qing and laughed, "Fang Qing, don't listen to her nonsense. The president said last night that you were not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?"

  Fang Qing knew that what happened last night would definitely cause misunderstandings, so it was better to explain it clearly, so he calmly sat down on the chair and explained while changing his slippers.

  "I felt a little unwell yesterday and had a fever at night. Wen Ning took care of me all night. Don't think too much."

  Wang Nan pried open Zhang Jiaqi's hand that was covering her mouth, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Fang Qing's calm explanation, he was still a little unconvinced, "Hey, you two...didn't do anything? What a good opportunity!"

  Fang Qing held his forehead and sighed, "Classmate Wang Nan, what are you disappointed about?"

  Wang Nan chuckled, sat over and leaned against Fang Qing's eyes and muttered, "Hey, we are so familiar with each other, there is nothing we can't say, hey, you two are in love every day, it makes us feel amorous, we are also curious, how far have you two gone?"

  At the same time, Wen Ning drooped his eyelids when he looked at the glowing eyes of his roommate in front of him, and rolled up his sleeves calmly, "The step of holding hands."

  The group of boys were immediately disappointed, but some of them didn't believe it.

  "Wen Ning, we're all buddies. This kind of thing is well known to everyone. Your girlfriend is so beautiful, how could you hold back?"

  Wen Ning gave him a serious look. "I like her, but I respect her even more. So, there's no need to speculate. Nothing happened between us."

  The roommates on both sides were a little disappointed at this explanation, but they also secretly made bets on when this seemingly perfect couple would finally come to blows.

  At noon, Tang Xiaoyu finally rested up and came to settle the score with Wen Ning.

  "Brother Ning, I came to the dorm looking for you yesterday, but they said you were out and hadn't come back all night. Where were you fooling around?"

  Seeing Tang Xiaoyu's accusatory expression, Wen Ning's face darkened. "How dare you ask? Let me ask you, did you know about Qingqing's allergy to peach hairs? You dragged her out picking peaches even though you knew she was feeling unwell? Tang Xiaoyu, I had no idea you'd stooped to this level. She had a high fever last night, and I watched her all night. What else do you want to ask?"

  Seeing Wen Ning's unprecedented seriousness, Tang Xiaoyu reflected on yesterday's events. No wonder Fang Qing, despite wanting to buy peaches, kept covering her mouth and nose and standing far away. She hesitated for a long time after I suggested she pick them, soaked her hands in cold water after leaving the peach orchard, and even had those unusual reactions in the car...

  Tang Xiaoyu still disliked Fang Qing, but she honestly didn't know she was allergic to peach fuzz and thought she was just pretending to be allergic to her. Thinking back to her actions yesterday, she felt a little guilty.

  "Brother Ning, is... is she feeling better?"

  Wen Ning sighed. "Whether she's better or not, why don't you go and see for yourself?" Wen Ning paused, thinking about the recent unpleasantness between them, and felt that a proper talk with her was necessary.

  So, he took his lunch box and headed to the cafeteria, talking to Tang Xiaoyu as he walked.

  "Xiaoyu, when you first came to our house at the age of five, you were very obedient and well-behaved. Although I don't like children, I started to treat you as my own sister after getting to know you better. After so many years, you have always been that well-behaved and sensible little girl in my heart. You were, you are, and I hope you will be in the future."

  Wen Ning paused and glanced at the girl beside him. "You have grown up. There are many things you should understand even if I don't explain them. There is no possibility between us."

  Tang Xiaoyu followed with her head down. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Wen Ning. "Why is it impossible? What's wrong with me? Tell me and I will change!"

  Wen Ning sighed. "You are very good, but to me, you are just a sister, not my future lover. The partner you're looking for. Besides, you're fine the way you are now, Xiaoyu. Don't change yourself for anyone. Being yourself is the best."

  Tang Xiaoyu shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. "So, Fang Qing is the one you're looking for? I don't understand. What's wrong with me being inferior to her?"

  Wen Ning sighed. "You still don't understand. You can't force love. Xiaoyu, people are different. Even if you try to imitate Qingqing's personality and change yourself, I still won't like you. That's not you. You'll only come across as fake and unhappy. You belong in another happy world. So, don't change yourself for anyone, do you understand?"

  Tang Xiaoyu sighed. This was the first time in her life that Brother Ning had said so much to her, and he was actually advising her to let go.

  "Brother Ning, you're so cruel."

  After saying this, Tang Xiaoyu stared at Wen Ning for a moment, realizing that staying any longer would lead to nothing, and turned to leave.

  Wen Ning watched her leave in silence, sighed, and went to the cafeteria to get his food.

  It was already noon when Fang Qing woke up. She got up to wash her face and change clothes. When she was combing her hair, Li Yuehong from the next dormitory knocked on the door and called her downstairs, "Fang Qing, your boyfriend is looking for you!"

  Fang Qing answered, combed her hair and ran downstairs quickly.

  After Wen Ning's scolding last time, all the female students who came and went now knew that Wen Ning was Fang Qing's boyfriend. They just looked at him curiously but no longer came forward to disturb him.

  Sitting in the small garden, Wen Ning opened the lunch box. Today's dishes were relatively light. Wen Ning took out a spoon and asked Fang Qing to dig in and eat. Fang Qing was a little surprised to see that there was only one box of rice, "Why is there only one meal? Where's yours?"

  Wen Ning rubbed his fingers, looked at the scenery in the distance and answered calmly, "I've eaten, you can eat it."

  Fang Qing did not doubt him, and discussed with him how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival while eating.

  "Are you going home for Mid-Autumn Festival? I bought a basket of peaches yesterday. If you go home, I can give half of it to your family."

  Wen Ning smiled and shook his head. "There's a lot to do at the hospital, and it's hard to get a seat right now. I'd have to come back after just a few days of rest. It's really troublesome."

  Fang Qing nodded. "That's right. After all, trains are still very slow these days." After saying this, Fang Qing was stunned. She had relaxed for a moment and actually said such a thing.

  Wen Ning, who was standing beside her, smiled at her words. "You talk as if you've seen a fast train, but compared to other countries, our current speed is indeed not fast. I heard that the country is vigorously building new railways. Perhaps in the near future, it is not impossible for trains to speed up..."

  Fang Qing looked at Wen Ning's profile and sighed. A man's intuition is really accurate. In the past ten years, the development and construction of the motherland has indeed achieved a qualitative leap. Whether in the economy or infrastructure, it has achieved breakthroughs and gradually stood at the forefront of the world.
