Chapter 92: Trouble on the Bridge

Chapter 93: Turbulence on the Bridge
  Wang Xiaoyan watched the students in the square marching in unison, each one looking so heroic and dignified. She turned to the instructor beside her and said, "Teacher Wang, I'm much better now. Can I go back soon?"

  Teacher Wang, a graduate of the school who had stayed on to teach the first year, shook her head responsibly. "You have heatstroke and just woken up. You should rest here a little longer."

  But Wang Xiaoyan was anxious. She had heard that every class would have to participate in military training in the next few days. If she was not allowed to participate because she was not good at kicking, wouldn't all her suffering be in vain?
  But no matter how much she begged, the instructor would not allow her to participate, insisting on seeing how she performed in the morning. Wang Xiaoyan had no choice but to squat against the wall, watching others learn the new moves, secretly wondering what to do.

  After the afternoon break, Wang Xiaoyan ran to the school clinic to buy a few boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, but was told that they were sold out and she could only buy them at an off-campus pharmacy. Wang Xiaoyan thought about the price of medicine outside the school and curled her lips in displeasure. Suddenly, she thought of the two packets of summer-cooling tea Fang Qing had given her.

  Seeing that those people showed no signs of heatstroke today, it seemed that the summer-cooling tea had some effect. Wang Xiaoyan bit her lip and quickly ran back to the dormitory.

  But upon entering the dormitory, she was stunned. The trash can next to the table had been emptied. Wang Xiaoyan was anxious, "Where is the trash can? Who emptied it?"

  Wang Nan poked her head out from the mosquito net, "I emptied it, what's wrong? Your trash can is full of all kinds of things, it's all rotten. If you don't empty it, our dormitory will become a fly nest!"

  Wang Xiaoyan was so angry that she stomped her feet, "How can you be like this? How can you touch other people's things? I dropped something in the trash can!"

  Wang Nan was also stunned when she heard it, and hurriedly got up and walked over, "What did you drop? I didn't see anything valuable when I took out the trash..."

  Wang Xiaoyan was about to say it was a tea bag, but remembered what she said in the afternoon and paused, shaking her head awkwardly, "Forget it, it's dropped..."

  After dinner, Fang Qing finished her meal and came back with water. Seeing that the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little strange, she didn't say anything, just glanced at Wang Nan. Wang Nan gave her a look, pointed her chin in Wang Xiaoyan's direction, and made the shape of "tea bag" with her mouth.

  Fang Qing instantly understood. The tea bag she'd given Wang Xiaoyan at noon had been thrown away during lunch break. They'd all known about it, but they'd kept it to themselves. She'd unexpectedly changed her attitude that evening. Could it be because she'd fainted from heatstroke that afternoon?
  Fang Qing sighed. No matter how unhappy things had been, they all lived in the same dorm, and it wouldn't be easy to isolate Wang Xiaoyan like that. It was just a bag of tea, not worth much. So she pulled another one from the cabinet and placed it on Wang Xiaoyan's desk.

  Wang Xiaoyan lay in bed for a while, then stood up to see the other three people had left. A fresh tea bag sat on the table, startling her. She reached for the bag and sniffed it deeply. The light, fruity aroma, tinged with a hint of coolness, refreshed her breathing.

  Glancing at the position of Fang Qing's bed, Wang Xiaoyan lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

  At night, the campus was filled with willow trees swaying in the wind, a sky filled with stars, and a couple in love in the corner.

  Fang Qing, Wang Nan and Zhang Jiaqi went to the bathhouse together to take a shower. When they came out, they passed by the school store and bought a few popsicles. The three of them walked while letting the evening breeze dry their hair.

  When they passed the Half Moon Bridge, Wang Nan suddenly grabbed the two of them, "Oh, another confession, let's take another way!"

  Zhang Jiaqi followed Wang Nan's hand and saw two figures on the bridge, covering their mouths and laughing. She pulled Fang Qing to leave, but saw that Fang Qing's face was not very good, "Fang Qing, what's wrong with you? The popsicles are too cold?"

  Wang Nan saw Fang Qing staring at the bridge in the distance in a daze, and looked at the bridge carefully. This glance was terrible. The person on the bridge looked more and more like Fang Qing's boyfriend. He thought something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled Fang Qing away, "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, let's go, Fang Qing, there are too many mosquitoes outside, let's go back..."

  But Fang Qing changed his usual gentleness, calmly put down the things in his hand and handed them to Wang Nan, "Help me hold it, I'll go over and take a look." Then, without waiting for the two to react, he quickly ran to the bridge.

  Before Zhang Jiaqi knew what was going on, she saw Fang Qing suddenly running towards the bridge. Wang Nan, who was standing beside her, slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no! What are you still standing there for? Chase him!"

  Zhang Jiaqi didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Wang Nan's anxious look, she knew it was definitely not a good thing. She grabbed her things and ran after him in her slippers.

  On the bridge, Wen Ning looked at Li Xin in front of him with a cold expression.

  "Li Xin, I told you, if it's business, please talk to me in the activity room. If it's personal, I have nothing to say to you."

  Wen Ning was about to turn around and leave when Li Xin reached out to stop him. She looked at Wen Ning with a puzzled look on her face, "Sister Sisi just wants to have a good talk with you, why don't you give her a chance? Or are you afraid to see her because you're afraid you'll fall in love with her?"

  Wen Ning didn't want to listen to her nonsense, and was about to go around with his schoolbag, but Li Xin suddenly opened her arms and hugged Wen Ning, "No, you have to come with me. Sister Sisi likes you so much, I have to take you there today!"

  Wen Ning didn't expect her to be so bold. Although it was night, there were many students coming and going in this area. If her action fell into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, various versions of the story would spread around the school tomorrow. He didn't care, but he was afraid that Fang Qing would be sad when he heard it.

  Wen Ning was about to break free with his arms, but suddenly a delicate hand reached out, grabbed one of Li Xin's wrists and squeezed it hard. Li Xin screamed, frowned, and immediately let go of Wen Ning.

  Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he was free. He turned around and saw Fang Qing with a calm face.

  He was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, "Qingqing..." But Fang Qing didn't look at him.

  He grabbed Li Xin's wrist and pulled her away from Wen Ning. Li Xin had actually seen Fang Qing a long time ago. She hugged Wen Ning on purpose. She thought that when she saw another woman hugging her boyfriend, she would be so angry that she would run away. But she didn't expect that this woman would separate herself and Wen Ning in one hand.

  Feeling the pain in her wrist, Li Xin was about to cry. She looked at Wen Ning with a sobbing voice, "It hurts! President, please help me. She is so rude, don't you do anything about it?"

  Wen Ning was about to step forward when he caught Fang Qing's gaze. He realized that his precious child wanted to vent her anger on her own, so how could he possibly interfere? Wen Ning shrugged, "Our Qingqing has the final say, you're on your own."

  Li Xin was dumbfounded. How could this be different from what she thought?
  She gritted her teeth and glared at Fang Qing in front of her, "Let go! Humph, you're so rude, I really don't know what President Wen likes about you!"

  But Fang Qing remained unmoved. She squeezed her wrist hard and forced her to the edge of the bridge, "When is it your turn to butt in on me and him? Who do you think you are?"

  Seeing that Li Xin was still unconvinced, Fang Qing suddenly laughed.

  Li Xin felt a chill on the back of her head. Was she going to throw her overboard?
