Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

Shang Qing looked up at the IV drip that still had more than half of the liquid in it. She took his hand and patted it gently: "Xiao Xun, sleep a little longer. Be good. Yeah, there's still more than half a bottle left. After the infusion, I'll take you home."

"Sister, I'm fine." Ji Xun didn't want to make Shang Qing worry.

"Whether there's anything wrong or not, I have the final say." Shang Qing did not accept any rebuttal. How could she feel at ease in his current state?

Just as she was about to make a call, Teacher Yang Yi called. Shang Qing pressed the answer button: "Hello, Teacher Yang, you are talking about Xiao Xun fainting, right? I'm here now, yes, don't worry. You don't have to come, he woke up, I was just about to ask you for leave. Yes, I'll take him back, I want to take a day off tomorrow, is that okay with you? Yes, yes, thank you, you've worked hard."

"Okay, Teacher Yang is really a great homeroom teacher. She contacted me right after she found out you fainted." Shang Qing praised with a smile, smoothing back Ji Xun's hair. "Come on, close your eyes. I'll be right here. When you wake up, the IV will be finished. Then, we'll go home."

Ji Xun felt Shang Qing's tenderness and accurately caught the faint fragrance of her in the disinfectant water. His eyelids drooped heavily, as if carrying too much sleepiness and helplessness.

With Shang Qing's gentle comfort and patting, Ji Xun fell asleep, and was no longer like before, where even though he was unconscious, he was still trapped in a painful, tense and depressing dream.

Shang Qing held her phone in one hand. Luckily, she had called Yao Pangpang on the way here. Looking at the caring message from Yao Pangpang on WeChat, her lips curled up slightly as she replied.

What Shang Qing didn't know was that her two best friends, Xue Xuelin and Su Zhaozhao, were frantically worried in the classroom. Shang Qing had been there during the previous class, but during break, she'd gone to the bathroom. They'd both been called away by different teachers, so they weren't together.

The class had already started, so why hadn't she returned yet? Where had she been? What had happened? They were in class, and they were trying to pick up their phones. Did they really want to die? This was a class taught by the famous Yan Wang Dao Fa teacher. They didn't think they had the courage.

After the IV and a good night's sleep, Ji Xun felt much better. Shang Qing peeled a piece of White Rabbit and placed it in his mouth, then helped him sit on the steps. He'd considered taking a taxi back, but Ji Xun repeatedly insisted he was fine. Then, considering the considerable distance to the school gate, and seeing that Ji Xun was in good spirits, despite still looking a little pale, he decided to ride back.

Shang Qing ran to the carport and rode the electric bike to the door of the infirmary.

Ji Xun was helped by Shang Qing to sit in the back seat. He put his arm around Shang Qing's waist and pressed against her warm back. Shang Qing turned the handlebars and drove steadily out of the school. When the guard saw them, the gate slowly opened before Shang Qing arrived.

Fortunately, more than half an hour ago, Yao Pangpang and Yang Yi called the school guard respectively. Shang Qing could only sigh how lucky she was to have such a good class teacher.

Back in the courtyard, because they came back early, and most importantly, Ji Xun's face and lips were a little pale, it scared Grandma Kang and several elderly people working there. They thought something had happened and came forward to ask about it.

"Grandma, don't worry. Xiao Xun just has a little hypoglycemia." Shang Qing explained with a smile. Ji Xun wanted to go in by himself, but she was not willing to agree. She still helped him walk into the house.

Grandma Kang hurriedly followed her in and poured a glass of honey water, which Shang Qing took.

Ji Xun supported himself with his arms, sat up, took the honey water from Shang Qing's hand, and smiled at Grandma Kang, who looked worried: "Grandma, I'm fine. The doctor also said that I just didn't get enough sleep."

"You child...you go to bed so late, and you still say it's okay...don't do that in the future. Okay, drink some honey water and take a nap. I'll call you after dinner." Grandma Kang urged, she was really worried. Since you said you didn't get enough sleep, you must make up for it.

During this time, she found Ji Xun's light on twice, even though it was very late. She went in to persuade him, but he said he would go to bed soon. After that, she didn't see the light on in that room anymore. Why was he still not getting enough sleep?

What Grandma Kang didn't know was that since she discovered that he slept late at night, he no longer turned on the light in the bedroom, but used a dim small table lamp, and successfully deceived Grandma Kang.

At this time, Ji Xun was very well behaved. He drank the honey water, smiled at the two of them and said, "Grandma, sister, you guys go and do your work. I'll just take a nap."

Grandma Kang had already placed his pajamas at the head of his bed. Shang Qing took the empty cup, and the two of them left quietly.

After the two of them left, the room fell into complete silence. Ji Xun took off his school uniform with great effort, changed into dry pajamas, and lay back on the bed exhausted.

He had been completely exhausted just now, but he was still too tired and sleepy. His head was dizzy and painful, but at this moment, his exhausted thoughts completely calmed down. He smelled a familiar scent, and sleep pulled him into a deep dream.

After an unknown amount of time, his cell phone vibrated wildly. Ji Xun opened his still bloodshot eyes, closed them with great effort, and then opened them again. He stood up, leaned weakly against the headboard of the bed, took out his cell phone, opened it, and there were three missed calls, all from one person: her!

Yes, there is only one word "she" in the note.

Ji Xun frowned and closed his eyes lightly to ease his emotions, but his furrowed brows and eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings showed how uneasy he was inside.

He knew that in his current physical condition, Shang Qing and Grandma Kang would never let him go out. If he went out, it would mean that all the efforts he had made during this period would be meaningless.

He didn't want to call back, so he opened the text message: It's not convenient for me to go out today. Let's meet at the usual place at 5:50 tomorrow evening. Bring your proof. I won't pay less than the agreed amount.

He needed to create a time difference. Their school dismissal time was 5:50. Shang Qing wouldn't be able to make it back in time. So, he told Grandma Kang that a classmate had given him something, and he was going to go get it. Grandma Kang wouldn't suspect anything. And his secret wouldn't be discovered. It was a secret he was trying so hard to keep.

There was no return call or reply. He knew the woman had agreed.

"Oh! She didn't even bother to reply, yet she brazenly claimed that everything was for my own good? She doesn't even want to pretend, so why would she care if it looks like that?"

Ji Xun's lips curled into a mocking, sorrowful smile. His breath caught in his chest, his face pale, and his spirit, which had improved somewhat from catching up on sleep, waned again. A sudden itch in his throat overtook him, and he couldn't help but cough violently. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't stop, and instead, the coughing only intensified. It felt like he was coughing up his heart and lungs.

Shang Qing was in the living room. He ran in upon hearing the noise and saw Ji Xun half-lying over the bed, hunched over, coughing and trembling in agony, his lips clutched. His buttocks rose and fell. The choking, painful coughs irritated Shang Qing's nerves.

"Xiao Xun!" Shang Qing was so frightened that she fell flat on the bed. She turned his body over and grabbed his palm. She pressed her fingers on the thenar acupoint and pressed hard. Her fingers trembled, but she still refused to let go.

While helping Ji Xun with massage at the hospital, she learned a lot about acupuncture points from an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner and the nurses. One quick way to stop a cough was to press the Yuji acupoint. She had never tried it before, and this was her first time. She didn't know if it would work, but she had no other options.
