Chapter 23: Girl With Fiery Spirit
The girl Jiang Qi liked, it turned out, was only superficial…
As for the matter of red bean bubble tea, it was actually Zhi Qi’s unreasonable request when she was sixteen.
It was another rainy day at Lin Lan, and Zhi Qi always found rainy days romantic when she was in a good mood. But when his mood wasn’t great, it just made her irritable.
For example, girls experiencing menstrual cramps would feel particularly irritable. During lunch break, when most of the classmates had gone to eat, Zhi Qi was lying on her desk, pale-faced. Unconsciously biting her lips due to cramps, she pressed her small hands against her abdomen, trying not to whimper in pain.
Until most of the classmates had left the classroom, Jiang Qi returned from the restroom and noticed the girl’s abnormal condition. Seeing Zhi Qi’s face so pale and her breathing so weak, Jiang Qi’s eyebrows immediately furrowed with concern as he walked quickly over. He thought the girl had a fever, so he touched Zhi Qi’s forehead with his hand, which was still cold from washing, causing her to shiver.
“Hey.” Most girls on their periods were in a bad mood. Zhi Qi angrily swatted Jiang Qi’s hand away, weakly scolding, “Don’t touch me.”
Frowning, Jiang Qi asked, “Are you running a fever?”
Zhi Qi remained silent.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Qi took off his school jacket and draped it over Zhi Qi, as if he was about to bend down and carry her on his back. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
