With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"What's wrong?" Meng Xuan, who had gotten up early, heard the noise while sitting down and saw Lian Yang looking unwell and leaning against the bed.

Before Lian Yang could answer, he quickly went over and helped the person to a chair, his eyes filled with concern: "Are you sick?"

Lian Yang has always been healthy and rarely even caught a cold during his freshman and sophomore years of college. This is the first time he has seen the other person look so unwell.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, and I played basketball yesterday and sweated a lot, it's not surprising that I suddenly caught a cold.

"Maybe I've caught a cold." Lian Yang felt dizzy in waves, and it didn't feel good. It did seem like he had a cold.

But he has always been in good health. He hasn't experienced a cold like this, which can make people dizzy and lightheaded, and almost made him collapse just now, for many years. Those were things from when he was a child.

"I guess it's because of the changing seasons, and I did some strenuous exercise yesterday and caught a chill," Meng Xuan said. "I'll go to the infirmary later and get some medicine."

"I'm going to the cafeteria later. What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you." Meng Xuan said, walking to Wu Jie's bed and shaking him awake. "What do you want to eat?"

Wu Jie mumbled in a daze: "Whatever."

Meng Xuan seemed used to it, and just smiled before looking at Lian Yang: "Luckily, there's no early class this morning, only one later. You can rest for a while after lunch. If you can't, just ask for leave. Can you go to the infirmary by yourself?"

Lian Yang tried to get up and found that apart from feeling a little dizzy, he was fine: "No problem."

It's probably just a minor cold.

"Okay, I'll go buy food. You can go to the infirmary to get your medicine. You can come back for dinner after you've had your check-up. Call me if you need anything."

"By the way, you're up so early, you must be planning to eat at the cafeteria with Xia Zhen, right? Should we tell her?" Meng Xuan reminded him.

Ever since Lian Yang and Xia Zhen got together, they have been eating all three meals together every day, unless there is something else going on.

"I'll call her," Lian Yang said.

Seeing this, Meng Xuan said no more, opened the door and left the dormitory.

As for why I didn't ask Cao Zhicheng if he wanted to eat, it's because Cao Zhicheng didn't go back to the dormitory yesterday; he always stays out all night.

Azhen received a call from Lian Yang, who said he wouldn't be having breakfast with her this morning, citing some other things to do.

Azhen knew exactly what was going on and wasn't going to be fooled by that excuse.

She had already gone downstairs and was heading towards Cafeteria No. 1 when she saw Meng Xuan coming from the boys' dormitory.

"Meng Xuan, what happened to Lian Yang?" She asked Meng Xuan without hanging up the phone.

Meng Xuan walked over in a few steps and quickly recounted what had happened that morning. Noticing that Azhen and Lian Yang were on the phone, he added into the phone, "Second brother, don't hide it anymore. We're in the same school. If your cold doesn't get better immediately, you can't hide it from us."

Lian Yang feigned helplessness and honestly told Azhen what he wanted to eat after she asked him.

Then Azhen bought food for Lianyang and asked Mengxuan to take it upstairs.

At noon, A-Lan and her roommates ate lunch together. Not seeing Lian Yang and A-Lan together, Qiao Jiajia couldn't help but ask, "Where's Lian Yang? Why didn't he come? Doesn't he usually ask where you are right on time? You're in college now, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go over time, right?"

A-Zhen then told me that Lian Yang hadn't been feeling well that morning, and that he should be sleeping in his dorm right now.

are you sick?

Qin Yin couldn't help but worry, but she didn't show it.

She needed to maintain boundaries with Lian Yang; any premature concern would only lead to misunderstandings and awkwardness. However, Qin Yin truly had lost her appetite.

Liking someone is not something you can easily let go of; she can only try to keep it in her heart so as not to cause trouble for others.

A-Zhuang sensed Qin Yin's emotions, but this kind of thing was quite troublesome in itself.

The client died young, so there's no way of knowing what happened to Lian Yang and Qin Yin after her death. But given Qin Yin's personality, the relationship between the client and Lian Yang will likely remain a thorn in their side, and things will definitely not go smoothly for them.

If Lian Yang were to tell Qin Yin the truth—that he had no affection for the client and was merely using her—as a normal person, it would be difficult for her to accept. She would survive at the cost of another person's family being destroyed, and she would likely live with guilt for the rest of her life.

Judging from Qin Yin's various behaviors, it's undeniable that she's not a malicious person, and even somewhat prone to internal strife. People who are internally strife are often unwilling to hurt others.

If Lian Yang doesn't reveal the truth but still wants to be with Qin Yin, things won't go smoothly.

Therefore, Lian Yang's desire for the best of both worlds is unlikely to be fulfilled.

But he's a man who'll stop at nothing. If Qin Yin isn't happy about it, do you think he'll just let it go?

Unless Qin Yin and Lian Yang are the same kind of people, and you can go along with him.

A peaceful day passed, and Lian Yang took some cold medicine from the infirmary. Feeling dizzy and unwell, he took the day off from class, thinking that a day of sleep would be enough to cure his cold.

He's quite healthy; he shouldn't be so badly affected by a minor cold for several days.

To his surprise, when he woke up the next day, he was still feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

However, having prepared, I didn't nearly fall like I did yesterday.

"Second Brother, are you feeling better?" Meng Xuan, who had gotten up very early as usual and was looking at his phone in his seat, saw Lian Yang and asked. After seeing Lian Yang's face, he put down his phone. "You still don't look well. Could it be the flu?"

It is indeed flu season right now, and he didn't find anything strange about it. Even if Lian Yang is in good health, he can't withstand some severe flu cases.

"Perhaps," Lian Yang rubbed his temples. "It might drag on for a few days."

"Then why don't you go back and lie down for a while?" Meng Xuan asked.

Lian Yang declined: "I'm just a little dizzy, no other symptoms, it's not a big deal. I felt uncomfortable lying down all day yesterday, and I don't want to lie down anymore."

"It's good to get up and move around."

After Lian Yang finished washing up, Meng Xuan patted the still-sleeping Wu Jie as usual and asked him what he wanted to eat. As always, he only received the word "anything," which made Meng Xuan laugh.

On the way to Cafeteria No. 1, there is an intersection that is the only way for both the boys' and girls' dormitories to pass.

When Lian Yang arrived, Azhen was already waiting.

Seeing that Lian Yang looked tired, she asked, "Are you still not better? You look terrible."

"It might be a severe case of the flu; it probably won't get better in a day," Lian Yang said. "Don't get too close to me, or you might catch it." Even though he was wearing a mask, he still gave this thoughtful reminder.

Before the client died, Lian Yang was truly gentle and considerate, befitting a perfect boyfriend in both his words and actions.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Lian Yang found that he still had an appetite.

Meng Xuan smiled and said, "As long as I can eat, that's fine. The real problem is if I don't have an appetite; that would be a big deal." (End of Chapter)
