The all-round academic master's girlfriend

Chapter 139 Don’t get involved

Feeling dizzy.

Xia Jinxi vaguely realized that she might be sick, and tried her best to use her remaining strength to wake herself up.

The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to check the environment. It was the familiar ceiling.

Xia Jinxi slowly moved her body, which seemed to be much heavier than usual, and barely managed to stand up. A wet towel fell from her head.

Although she was dizzy, Xia Jinxi still spotted Tang Yuze sleeping on her desk at a glance.

"elder brother..."

It was just a very faint cry, but Tang Yuze woke up.

"Xiao Xi? Are you awake?"

"Well, brother, am I sick?"

"Yeah, you were confused the whole day yesterday."

"Have I slept for so long?"

"Yes, wait a moment, I'll get a thermometer to take your temperature."

Tang Yuze handed the thermometer to Xia Jinxi and asked her to measure the temperature herself and return it to him.

"37.6, still very feverish."

"Take another day off today and don't get out of bed."

Tang Yuze said softly.

"No, I haven't finished my homework yet."

After saying that, Xia Jinxi slowly adjusted her posture and prepared to get out of bed. Seeing this, Tang Yuze hurriedly stopped her.

"The patient should just stay still and don't think too much."

"The body is the capital of revolution. Which is more important, homework or your health?"

"You can read books anytime, but if your body breaks down, you really break down."

"Be good, go back and lie down. I'll help you with your homework. I have nothing to do anyway."

In order to let Xia Jinxi rest in peace, Tang Yuze spoke a lot of truths in one breath.

"Um..."

"Can you write in my room? I feel more at ease watching you..."

Xia Jinxi covered half of her face with the quilt and spoke in a low voice.

"Of course, otherwise how can I take care of you? What homework do you have left?"

"Chinese, English, and biology."

"Three subjects with the most words, right? You really know how to torment your brother."

"sorry..."

"Just kidding, forget about Chinese and English, today I'll write all your Japanese, French and Spanish homework for you."

Tang Yuze opened the curtains. It was still grey outside and the sun had not yet fully risen.

At this time, Xia Jinxi got out of bed and walked out with unsteady steps, which scared Tang Yuze so much that he quickly helped her to steady herself.

"Didn't you say not to get out of bed?"

"I need to go to the bathroom..."

"..."

Briefly embarrassed.

"I go with you."

After helping his sister to the bathroom and changing her wet towel, Tang Yuze took out three exercise books from Xia Jinxi's schoolbag and started working on them.

"Xiao Xi, the doctor told me that the reason you had a fever was because you were under too much stress these days. I guess you were just forcing yourself."

During this month, my sister had to undergo intensive dance training every night and also complete her school homework, which was obviously too much for her petite body.

Looking back now, the pressure of being the center of the stage was enormous.

"Ah."

"why?"

"When I was performing in a small town before, I envied the girls who stood in the center position. It was a rare opportunity to be on stage again, so I wanted to try a little harder..."

Although her voice was low, she was quite firm when she said this.

Another point is that Xia Jinxi wanted to gain some confidence for herself through this performance so that she could make up her mind to convey her feelings to Tang Yuze.

Unexpectedly, she got off to a bad start. She fell ill with a fever just the day after the performance.

"Yeah..."

Tang Yuze stopped talking and did his homework quietly.

There wasn't much homework, but Tang Yuze kept talking to Xia Jinxi while he was doing it, and time slowly passed until the evening.

"See if you have missed anything."

"No, hey brother, your handwriting is really beautiful."

"Really? I just wrote it casually."

"Yeah, it feels so great. I'm sure my brother will win the special prize in this calligraphy competition."

"It's OK. It's just a provincial competition. It won't be that easy if I really want to take my calligraphy to a national competition."

"Will the teacher be able to tell that this was written by you?"

"No, it won't matter even if he finds out."

Tang Yuze will explain it himself when the time comes.

"It's almost time to go to bed. If you recover well tomorrow we'll go to school."

Tang Yuze took off his coat and got directly into the quilt, then hugged Xia Jinxi.

"I'll stay here and take care of you tonight. I'll leave after you fall asleep. Do you mind?"

"Ok!"

Of course, not only did Xia Jinxi not mind, she was actually very happy. She felt quite comfortable resting her little head on Tang Yuze's arm.

"I turned off the lights."

Tang Yuze turned off the main light in his sister's room, turned on a small desk lamp for eye protection for himself, and picked up an online novel to read to pass the time.

Half an hour later, the sound of Xia Jinxi's steady breathing finally came from her bed.

--------

The next morning, Tang Yuze took Xia Jinxi's temperature and allowed her to go to school only after he was sure that his sister's fever had subsided.

The two walked into the classroom as usual.

"Good morning, Xiaoxi. Are you well now?"

As soon as she arrived at school, Gao Xiaowen came over to ask about Xia Jinxi's condition.

"Hey, Xiaowen, how did you know I had a fever over the weekend?"

"I called you on WeChat, but your brother answered the phone."

Xia Jinxi looked at Tang Yuze.

"You were still sleeping at the time, so I told her you had a fever."

Tang Yuze explained simply.

"So, Xiaoxi, your fever should have gone away by now. Don't come to school when you're sick."

"Well, everything's fine."

"I didn't expect to have a fever right after the performance. Xiaoxi, you should take care of yourself."

After Gao Xiaowen finished caring about Xia Jinxi, she returned to her seat and started handing in her weekend homework.

"Did you hear what those people from No. 1 Middle School said?"

"I heard that Tang Yuze used to date the school beauty and cheated on her."

"He doesn't look like that kind of person..."

"Isn't it said that geniuses tend to have eccentric personalities? Maybe this is the case."

After Tang Yuze returned to class today, there were obviously more discordant noises in the classroom.

However, this kind of voice is only expressed by a minority of people who like gossip, and most people still hold a belief or wait-and-see attitude.

He still has a good reputation in the class.

Compared to those people from other schools who messed around at the art performance, everyone still trusted Tang Yuze, who they spent more time with on a daily basis.

Moreover, after this incident, Xia Jinxi didn’t care, so why should a group of ordinary classmates like them care?

Tang Yuze also told himself not to care about the rhythm, and then took out the books he would use for morning reading.

The rumors showed no sign of evolving, so his criticism of Yi Jingjing on stage was not in vain.

As long as you treat it coldly, no one will care about it soon.

He originally planned to just deal with it coldly...

"Um, Yuze-san, I have something I want to ask you, is that okay?"

When the class representative was collecting homework, Yang Ya came to Tang Yuze.

"what's up?"

"It's just... I just heard from people in No. 1 Middle School that something seemed to have happened between you and Yi Jingjing from their school, so I wanted to come and ask."

Yang Ya hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke without hesitation.

She spoke without lowering her voice, and several students around her held their breath after hearing her question.

"Monitor, am I obliged to answer this question?"

Tang Yuze pretended to yawn and then asked Yang Ya in return.

"No...but now that everyone wants to know, I think it's better for you to explain."

Although Tang Yuze's face looked unhappy, Yang Ya still insisted on asking him to explain.

Tang Yuze was of course aware that everyone around him wanted to know the whole story from him.

But Yang Ya chose to ask him this point because she was the only one who wanted to know.

"Then I choose to remain silent. If you believe me, then believe me. If you don't believe me, then believe the rumors."

As I said before, there is no need for Tang Yuze to make close friends with someone who would easily believe rumors of this magnitude.

Xia Jinxi felt like laughing when she saw Yang Ya's embarrassed expression after being firmly rejected by Tang Yuze.

Before, Gao Xiaowen always told Xia Jinxi to be careful about Tang Yuze being stolen away by a vixen, and especially to be careful about Yang Ya.

Now it seems that this woman only has this much ability.

Not enough to be afraid of.

"Are you really not going to explain? This rumor is very serious and will have a great impact on your reputation."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about that reputation."

Yang Ya has not given up questioning him, but Tang Yuze still looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Yang Ya returned to her seat only when the morning reading bell rang.

"Tang Yuze, Xia Jinxi, come here for a moment."

After the morning reading get out of class, Feng Gang ran into the classroom to call people, and the expression on his face looked particularly... nervous?

"But class is about to start, Mr. Feng, and the next class is yours..."

"I'll assign the tasks, and the whole class will have a self-study session, and the class representative will go to the podium to enforce discipline."

However, Feng Gang was determined to take the two of them away even if he asked the whole class to attend the next class.

What the hell is going on?
