Chapter 13: Has a Fever
After stopping, Ji Yunqi gasped for breath. The scene just now had truly terrified her.
She had lived for decades, and almost got insulted!
If not for Wang Mengyao’s rescue, she probably would have suffered abuse…
From what happened just now, Ji Yunqi knew that this man should be Wang Mengyao’s guest. Although it was unintentional, he had still harmed her.
Ji Yunqi was a little scared for a moment, and she didn’t know if she should continue to live there.
Before, she always thought that as long as she was careful, there would be no problem, but now it seemed her thoughts were too naive.
If it’s not bad luck, it’s unavoidable.
She had no choice. Facing these thugs, she had almost no power to resist. Now she had one more pressing matter to solve.
That is to find another place to live, and now, going home is obviously the best choice.
But Ji Yunqi was very scared. She was afraid that her son would not believe her words. If she went to his house and said she was his mother, he probably wouldn’t believe her.
“Sigh… what should I do?”
Suddenly, Ji Yunqi remembered that the class group had said that the day after tomorrow, which is the day after military training ends, and precisely the day her son was giving a speech.
She could use her son then.
After all, she was now nominally his junior… junior sister. She could interact with him a little then, get to know his face, and then find a way to contact him again.
As long as she handled it properly, she could find an excuse to live at his home, and then she could legitimately take care of his food and daily life. Her son was a kind person.
Her current background could be easily investigated. As long as she acted well and pretended to be pitiful, he would very likely take her in out of kindness.
Thinking of these plans, Ji Yunqi’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. Indeed, although she was old, her brain was still very sharp.
“Yes, yes, that’s how we’ll do it!”
………..
Now, Ji Yunqi had also given up the idea of going to her son’s house to cook. If she went to cook now, her son would inevitably become suspicious. She couldn’t help herself last time she went back, but she couldn’t this time.
She checked the time. That guy should not be guarding her at the doorstep. She should be fine as long as she was careful.
As for Wang Mengyao, to be honest, Ji Yunqi no longer trusted her much. Even though she had helped her out of trouble just now, in the final analysis, this matter had originated because of her.
There was still a small bundle of instant noodles left at home, which she could boil to fill her stomach. As for anything else, she couldn’t hope for it for now.
When she got downstairs, Ji Yunqi cautiously peeked her small head out and glanced at the floor where she lived. After confirming that no one was there, she pushed open the door and returned home in one go.
As soon as she entered, she collapsed on the ground as if she had lost all her strength. She was already uncomfortable today, plus the intense mental tension.
At this moment, Ji Yunqi could feel that her physical strength was almost depleted.
At this moment, the thing she wanted to do most was to escape this place. She really didn’t dare to think about what would happen if the incident from before happened again.
………
After resting for a while, Ji Yunqi ate something and lay on the bed, weak and exhausted. Her son’s speech was the day after tomorrow, so she could rest for a day tomorrow.
Ji Yunqi had a clear understanding of her own body. Her current physique would not allow her to recover completely after just one sleep.
She would definitely need to rest tomorrow, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to make it home.
……..
Time flew by, and Ji Yunqi stood unsteadily at the entrance of the venue.
Perhaps due to various reasons, Ji Yunqi developed a fever…
But because she didn’t have much money left, she really didn’t dare to spend it randomly. She thought she could endure it for a while, but who would have thought that it would get worse within just one day yesterday.
But even so, she still didn’t want to go to the hospital to see a doctor. After all, she could still walk and move, and she wasn’t dead yet.
Seeing the crowd, Ji Yunqi followed along. She didn’t expect that attending a lecture could also earn academic credits?
What kind of operation is this? Shouldn’t there be a quota limit, and everyone would want to come? This earning academic credits seemed deliberate.
After finding a seat, Ji Yunqi felt even more uncomfortable. In the enclosed space, the air was not circulating, her cheeks turned red, and her eyes gradually became blurry.
“Are you alright?” Ye Mingkong saw Ji Yunqi looking like a little dazed, and he felt a little worried, but he was currently a man, so it might not be appropriate to touch her.
“I’m okay, I’ll be fine if I rest more…”
Ye Mingkong said no more. He began to ponder something in his heart. Since he had sent this little loli to the infirmary the day before yesterday, he had known about her severe malnutrition.
When she fainted, it was considered severe physical depletion, and a fever was normal. But why did this girl still come here even though she was practically delirious from the fever?
This was something Ye Mingkong couldn’t understand. He came here… naturally for his own reasons, but this little dazed girl was still pushing herself to this extent when she wasn’t even clear-headed.
Ye Mingkong said nothing, just silently paid attention to Ji Yunqi’s condition. When this little dazed girl couldn’t hold on anymore, he would take her home.
After all, he was… quite lonely now…
……..
Suddenly, the entire venue fell silent. All around was quiet, and a familiar figure walked onto the stage.
When her blurry gaze caught sight of that figure, Ji Yunqi’s consciousness quickly returned, and she sat up with a jolt, startling Ye Mingkong beside her.
He really wanted to take this little loli away now. He was truly afraid that this little loli was experiencing a last burst of energy. She was listless one moment and refreshed the next.
“Hello everyone! My name is Ji Chengyun, and I am your senior. Today I am honored to be here to share some experience with my junior brothers and sisters…”
At this moment, half of the students in the venue had blank eyes, clearly not very interested in this. They had come purely for the academic credits, or they had been forced to come by the class monitor.
The remaining half were listening attentively, but only Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong’s eyes were shining, unwilling to miss any movement of the “senior” on stage.
Feeling the eager gaze of the students, although Ji Chengyun was a little nervous, he still performed very well, sharing almost all the secrets of how he became a senior executive in the company without any reservations.
Ji Yunqi placed her hand on her chest. At this moment, she could truly feel what the phrase “hoping one’s son becomes a dragon” represented.
Look, that’s her son!
A genius standing on stage, proving himself through his own abilities. Her son had truly grown up.
At this moment, Ji Yunqi even had the thought that even if she fell into eternal sleep now, her wish would be fulfilled.
However, she still wanted to approach her son after the event. She didn’t want her son to leave her again like this, and she wanted to look at him properly.
