Chapter 191 - 185 Sick
The piercing screech of the brakes was eerily similar to the sound marking the end of a dream in the dead of night.
Yet that lone blurred silhouette remained indistinct and unrecognizable to Qingran.
With a hand, she silenced the alarm clock only to feel a fatigue that intensified rather than subsided after a night’s sleep.
The temperature in the room was somewhat low, indicating that she had forgotten to set a timer for the air conditioning again last night.
Her throat was dry and sore, like she hadn’t drank water in ages, and as she sat up in bed, her head started to throb with pain.
Qingran turned off the humidifier, its red light indicating a lack of water, and also switched off the air conditioner, enduring the discomfort as she walked to the bathroom.
Qingran thought washing her face might ease the discomfort, but after rinsing, she felt even worse, especially her head, which throbbed as if it would split open.
She knew she was catching a cold; people who seldom get sick can be greatly affected when illness suddenly strikes.
As the headache persisted, dizziness followed suit. Qingran felt light-headed and limp, unable to muster any strength throughout her body, and ultimately slumped back onto the bed.
Looking like this, she simply couldn’t attend class today. Fumbling for her cell phone on the nightstand, she thought of texting Old Wu to excuse herself.
After groping around for a while, she remembered her phone was still on the desk. Struggling to get up and retrieve it, she managed to grab the phone but soon forgot whether she actually sent a message or not.
