The voice sounded familiar; it was Su Jin's voice.

I wearily looked up at her and shook my head slightly. "I'm fine."

"Then I'm quite disappointed."

Su Jinyun leaned lazily against the bathroom door, looking at me with a mocking expression.

"Jinyun, actually I..."

Before I could finish speaking, Su Jinyun interrupted me sarcastically, "Happy birthday, Ji Nanchen."

"what?"

I stared at her blankly, never expecting her to suddenly wish me a happy birthday.

Su Jinyun turned her head away uncomfortably and explained in a cold voice, "Your health is not good at all right now. If this trend continues, this may be your last birthday."

"Seeing that scumbag get his comeuppance naturally makes me feel good."

Looking at her sharp tongue but kind heart, I smiled helplessly. "For someone like me, every extra day I live is a bonus."

"What you said is true."

Su Jinyun nodded seriously, then couldn't help but get angry when she saw my indifferent expression. "Ji Nanchen, you deserve to die!"

She was such a good person, and she liked him so much back then, but he was so ungrateful that he broke up with her, making her very sad.

Seeing that he wasn't doing well either, she felt much better.

I forced a smile and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's quite meaningless for someone like me to live in this world."

Su Jinyun originally intended to provoke me, but she didn't expect me to agree with her.

After her initial shock, she immediately found it all rather pointless.

"It's good that you have this self-awareness."

After saying this in an annoyed tone, Su Jinyun turned and left.

After she left, I turned around and ran back to the bathroom where I had been, retching violently.

The cream was too sweet and made my stomach uncomfortable.

Perhaps because I had been gagging too much, my stomach cramps were getting worse and worse.

I took out my bag and started looking for the medicine, my hands trembling violently.

Soon, I took out a small bottle of medicine, opened it with trembling hands, poured out two bottles of pills and put them directly into my mouth.

The bitter taste of the pill spread in my mouth, making me involuntarily frown slightly.

The next second, a glass of warm water suddenly appeared in front of me, followed by Teacher Li Jingtao's gentle and loving voice, "Drink water quickly, the pills are bitter, drink some water to moisten them."

"Thank you."

I reached out and took the glass of warm water, and eagerly drank two sips.

The bitter taste spread in my mouth. Although it was still unpleasant, it was much better than before.

After I calmed down, I leaned against the wall outside the bathroom and breathed softly.

My back was already soaked with cold sweat from the recent attack.

"Are you OK?"

After seeing that I had calmed down, Teacher Li Jingtao couldn't help but ask me a question with concern.

I shook my head slightly and waved the medicine bottle at him. "I'm too busy with work and often don't eat on time, so when my stomach hurts, it's really uncomfortable."

"You young people just don't take care of your bodies."

After sighing, Teacher Li Jingtao helped my weak body walk towards a chair not far away.

After I sat down in the chair, he suddenly reached out and handed me a piece of candy.

"You must have had a bitter taste from taking your medicine. Here, have a piece of candy."

I suddenly felt my eyes sting, and I looked up at him with gratitude. I took the candy, unwrapped it, and put it in my mouth.

The fruit candy was very sweet, and the moment I put it in my mouth, my mouth didn't taste so bitter anymore.

The refreshing fruit flavor balanced out the original sweetness of the cream, which surprisingly made me feel quite comfortable.

After a long pause, I turned to Mr. Li Jingtao and said apologetically, "Mr. Jingtao, I'm sorry. If it weren't for us, your loved one might still be alive, and you would have a happy family."

Teacher Li Jingtao was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting me to suddenly bring this up.

His eyes reddened, and he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "It's alright now. I did what she wanted to do, and she's happy to see it from heaven."

"Ah."

After responding softly, I finally couldn't bear the waves of cramping pain in my abdomen and said goodbye, "Teacher Jingtao, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, okay, go back and get some rest. Be sure to take good care of your health. If you still feel unwell, be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Li Jingtao gently gave me his instructions, like an elder who cares about his own child.

I nodded in agreement, and rushed out of the orphanage, step by step, quickly and slowly.

Before I left, I turned around and saw Su Jinyun standing in the orphanage, looking at me with cold eyes.

Actually, Teacher Li Jingtao should hate me, just like Jinyun hates me. That would make me feel much better.

After I came to my senses, I hailed a taxi and headed straight to the hospital.

After I left, Teacher Li Jingtao walked up to Su Jinyun and asked with concern, "Have you kept in touch with Nan Chen all these years?"

"No."

After calmly uttering two words, Su Jinyun reached out and patted the head of the child closest to her.

She hated Ji Nanchen and wished he were dead.

Li Jingtao noticed Su Jinyun's emotional change and handed her a piece of candy. "Nanchen seems to be in poor health. If you have time, try to persuade him to take care of his health and not work so hard."

"Ah."

Su Jinyun responded lightly, then changed the subject, "Teacher, autumn is coming soon, how about we take the children out for a picnic sometime?"

A child standing in front of her heard this and immediately turned to look at her, his big eyes blinking.

When are we going on a picnic?

Seeing the anticipation in the child's eyes, Su Jinyun smiled involuntarily. "In a while, let's bring our tools and go play on the lawn, okay?"

"Okay, okay!"

The child nodded excitedly, his eyes sparkling.

Teacher Li Jingtao said with a smile, "Xiao Hu, you'd better study addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division well, otherwise I won't agree to the picnic."

Little Tiger puffed out his chest and said proudly, "No problem."

Su Jinyun smiled in agreement, and after laughing, she also brought up the matter of leaving.

Li Jingtao didn't try to stop her, but just smiled and told her to come back and visit again next time.

After Su Jinyun left, she drove her car towards the hospital.

This time, when she met Ji Nanchen, she could clearly feel that his health was not as good as it had been before.

He left in a hurry; he must have gone to the hospital for a checkup. She has to follow him and see him make a fool of himself.

She wouldn't be able to sleep at night if she didn't see the tragic end of that scumbag.

Half an hour later, I hurriedly got out of the car and, supporting my weak body, walked step by step to Meng Jinghuai's office and sat down.

"Jinghuai, I'm not feeling well."

Meng Jinghuai immediately got up and helped me to a chair, looking at me with concern, "What's wrong? Did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
