20: Chapter 20 You're So Happy

When Liang Yuting woke up, she was in the hospital emergency room.

An IV drip was inserted into her hand, and she was wearing a trench coat over her silk pajamas.

Looking around in a panic, she discovered Shen Weiyue sitting beside her, fast asleep on the hospital bed, and her heart immediately calmed down.

Student Shen must have been exhausted; after all, it is not easy to fall asleep in such a noisy place.

Liang Yuting stared blankly at his profile for a while, feeling an indescribable sense of gratitude, along with something else spreading within her.

Having grown up and taught in this county for over three years, this was the first time she had felt such a sense of security, and it was surprisingly given to her by Shen Weiyue.

This young man actually has a lot of courage at critical moments, unlike his reclusive and silent demeanor of the past two years.

She looked at the remaining half-bottle of liquid in the IV drip; there should still be some time left, so she didn't wake him, just leaned quietly against the pillow.

Liang Yuting touched her forehead and felt that her fever had gone down, and her energy had recovered quite a bit.

Just then, a nurse was changing the IV for the patient next door, so she asked softly, "Hello, may I ask how I got here?"

"You were carried here on his back. You were unconscious from the fever, and the young man was running around drenched in sweat." The nurse pointed to the sleeping Shen Weiyue with an approving expression, "It's clear he was very worried about you; he was frantic. You are so lucky."

"Ah, how much did I spend?" Liang Yuting asked again.

"I didn't notice, usually it's just one or two hundred. You got a fever-reducing shot and then an IV, it's not expensive." The nurse looked at her IV bottle, "You can go back once it's finished."

"Okay, thank you."

Liang Yuting breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was worried about spending too much money, but she knew Shen Weiyue's family background was average, so she figured he wouldn't have much money on him.

She would give him the money when they got home.

The late-night emergency room was like a battlefield without smoke, filled with the wailing of family members and the cries of patients. Liang Yuting felt completely uncomfortable being there.

She focused her attention on what was right in front of her, forcing herself not to listen to the suffering of others, and then remembered an important matter: who helped her put on the coat?

The answer was self-evident.

It was Shen Weiyue.

But this made it even more awkward. She was wearing silk pajamas, and most importantly, a girl couldn't possibly be fully dressed when sleeping at night.

Liang Yuting blushed instantly, turning as red as a pomegranate.

It's over.

This is really over.

As a maiden of over twenty years, she feared she had lost at least some of her purity.

But could she blame Shen Weiyue?

No.

He was eager to save her, and besides, she was the one who took the initiative to call him for help.

Liang Yuting looked at Shen Weiyue with complicated feelings.

How many young male teachers at The First High School had pursued her? None of them had a chance to get close, yet by some twist of fate, this guy had gotten close to her.

Just think about it.

The nurse said he ran over in a hurry while carrying her on his back; she must have been clinging to his back...

Oh my god.

How would she have the nerve to face Shen Weiyue in the future?

Fortunately, he was graduating soon. Not seeing each other in the future meant no awkwardness, which could be considered a silver lining in this misfortune.

Liang Yuting had so much inner dialogue that her expression became incredibly complex, shifting constantly.

She stared blankly at Shen Weiyue's profile and suddenly felt that he was quite good-looking.

This pure-hearted high school boy had thick eyebrows and large eyes, with handsome, refined facial contours and clear skin, lacking the acne scars common in other boys.

The First High School did not require students to wear uniforms at all times. At this moment, Shen Weiyue was wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants.

It was understandable that the nurse hadn't distinguished his age immediately.

Suddenly, a mosquito flew brazenly onto Shen Weiyue's face and landed.

Liang Yuting frowned; it was the end of March, and mosquitoes were already out.

She raised her hand and waved it, wanting to shoo the mosquito away, but it didn't budge.

So Liang Yuting extended her index finger and pressed it toward the mosquito.

This time the mosquito flew away, but Shen Weiyue also woke up.

Her index finger was pressed delicately against his face, and there was a playfulness in her eyes that seemed to say, 'Look how awesome I am,' which left Shen Weiyue stunned.

Their eyes met, and Liang Yuting, as if burned, hurriedly withdrew her finger and explained in a panic, "A mosquito was biting you; I was helping you shoo it away."

Shen Weiyue: "Oh..."

Oh?

If you want to say something, say it, why drag out the ending like that?

Liang Yuting glared at him: "You don't believe me?"

"No, thank you Teacher Liang, do you feel better?" Shen Weiyue asked her with a smile.

"Much better. I'm the one who should thank you; otherwise, I don't know if I would have died at home." Liang Yuting clutched her chest in lingering fear, and Shen Weiyue quickly averted his gaze.

When he went to her house to save her a few hours ago, he was too anxious. By the time he realized what he was seeing, it was already too late.

Now that they both had the most basic understanding of each other, there was no need for a deeper encounter.

"It is really scary. When I went over, your forehead was burning hot. Fortunately, it wasn't far from the hospital, so the treatment wasn't delayed."

Shen Weiyue said to her sincerely: "In the future, if you are not feeling well, you should seek medical attention promptly. You can't put it off; small problems will drag on into big problems."

Liang Yuting felt like she was being lectured by him, but seeing his earnest words and concern overflowing, she couldn't get angry and said with a wry smile: "Are you lecturing your teacher now?"

"In this matter, there is no distinction of age or status; one must learn to care for oneself. Otherwise, if something happens, it will make those who care about you sad and heartbroken. Taking a step back, if you get sick and collapse, what will happen to my English tutoring?"

"Oh my, are you really that pragmatic?"

"Of course, I am a man who is going to get into 985 University!"

"Pfft, hahaha, you really are honest. Actually, your English has already improved. I believe you will get your wish."

Liang Yuting smiled beautifully, possessing the delicate charm of a sickly Xi Shi.

Shen Weiyue also laughed and vowed: "Anyway, if I can achieve my wish, Teacher Liang, you will be the biggest contributor. I will definitely keep it in mind and repay you well in the future."

"Oh, how do you plan to repay me?" Liang Yuting asked curiously.

"A drop of water in need deserves a spring in return. However, if you get married before I start working, I can only give a red envelope as a gift. If you wait until I'm working to get married, then I will definitely give a generous gift!"

Speaking of this, he asked curiously: "Teacher Liang, are you dating anyone, and when do you plan to get married?"

"No!" Liang Yuting glared at him, "Just for that remark, I will definitely wait for you to give me that generous gift!"

"Hahaha, that will be at least four years later. You can't delay your own lifelong happiness just waiting for my big gift; even if I send ten or a hundred gifts then, it won't make up for it."

"Student Shen, you remember this: if I become an old maid, it will all be because of what you said tonight, and you will have to take full responsibility!"

"That's scary. Then when I'm at 985 University, I'll introduce you to a young and promising handsome guy."

Shen Weiyue entered the rhythm of Director Shen and began to chat and laugh freely.
