Chapter 56: Forgot to Bring Tissues
Outside the corridor, little Mu Qing, who was getting water, suddenly sneezed. She then frowned and rubbed her nose. Was someone thinking of her?
“Hmm~ Is someone thinking of me?”
After rubbing her nose, it still felt a bit itchy, so little Mu Qing muttered to herself with some confusion.
“Perhaps.”
Ye Ziming, who was beside her, raised an eyebrow, then replied indifferently.
The school was quite well-funded, with water dispensers on every floor that dispensed filtered and boiled warm water.
Theoretically, it wasn’t worse than water boiled at home, so little Mu Qing usually didn’t bring water from home. Wasn’t it better to get it for free from the school?
“I’m going to the restroom.”
After getting water, little Mu Qing didn’t bring her water bottle. There weren’t many people around now, so she could leave it there, and no one would take it.
So she decided to leave the water bottle there for now and take it with her to the classroom after she was done.
Habitually, she greeted her good brother, and with that said, little Mu Qing turned to walk towards the restroom.
“Did you bring tissues?”
Before little Mu Qing could even take her right step, Ye Ziming’s voice suddenly came from behind her, devoid of any emotion.
Hearing this, little Mu Qing froze on the spot and then turned around awkwardly, tilting her head slightly to look at her good brother.
At the same time, she reached into her pocket and was surprised to find that she hadn’t forgotten, but had used up what she had and forgotten to refill.
This was a bit awkward. Without tissues, she couldn’t go to the restroom.
“Here you go.”
Before little Mu Qing could say anything, Ye Ziming took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it directly to her.
He had noticed this just now, so he tentatively asked to confirm, and unexpectedly, she really hadn’t brought any.
Seeing little Mu Qing’s slightly awkward expression, he knew what was going on.
After giving her the tissues and filling his water bottle, Ye Ziming casually picked up little Mu Qing’s cup and turned to walk back to the classroom.
“Ah…”
Holding a pack of freshly opened tissues in her hand, little Mu Qing stood there awkwardly, feeling a bit troubled.
If it weren’t for the perfectly calm expression on her good brother’s face, she would have suspected that he knew something.
Maybe she should pretend that she had just made a big deal out of it? Otherwise, using tissues for urination would be very suspicious, right?
So, what should have been a one-minute task was dragged out to five minutes, and then she slowly returned to the classroom.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but after returning to her seat, little Mu Qing felt like someone was looking at her.
And with a very strange look.
When she raised her head to find the source of the gaze, she noticed that it was mostly girls looking at her, and while looking at her, they also seemed to be looking at her good brother.
The smiles on their faces seemed to be attributable to “aunt smiles.”
“Boss, do you feel that the way those girls are looking at us is very unusual?”
She leaned closer and covered her mouth with her hand, quietly saying to her good brother.
As she spoke, she glanced at the group of girls again, only to find them looking this way, and then at her good brother.
She subtly gave him a wink, letting him know where they were.
“Don’t worry about it. Even if they weren’t looking at you like this, they would be looking at someone else.”
He turned to look at little Mu Qing, a faint smile on his face, and said to her in a low voice as well.
He was accustomed to all sorts of gazes, so he didn’t think there was any problem.
“Emmm, okay then.”
She looked at her good brother’s eyes, then at the girls over there. After thinking for a moment, she sat up straight again, deciding not to bother.
The class bell was about to ring, and little Mu Qing remembered that she hadn’t prepared for class yet, so she quickly started.
As she lowered her head, a few girls not far away covered their mouths with their hands, almost exclaiming.
“Wow, Ye Ziming seems to be smiling.”
“Really? Smiling at Lin Mu Qing?”
“I’m so jealous, Ye Ziming has never smiled at me.”
“Mm-hmm, me too…”
The girls mingled together, feeling sour, while looking at the two of them, they felt even more sour.
In the end, they came to another conclusion: Ye Ziming was very likely still gay.
And the evidence was sufficient. Wherever Ye Ziming could be seen, Lin Mu Qing could also be seen. Didn’t this prove something?
“Achoo!”
“What’s wrong this morning? Do I have a cold?”
Little Mu Qing, sitting in her seat, sneezed again and rubbed her nose, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Saying that, she raised her hand to her forehead and felt like there was nothing wrong, her temperature was normal.
Hearing little Mu Qing complain, Ye Ziming immediately put down his pen, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to look at her.
Without a word, he raised his hand to place it on little Mu Qing’s forehead.
When little Mu Qing saw his hand, she also cooperatively raised her head, knowing what he meant.
“Maybe a bit.”
After lightly testing her forehead, he moved his hand down to also test the temperature of her neck.
Then Ye Ziming said slowly.
“I see, then drink some of this.”
Saying that, he took out two packs of effervescent tablets, preparing to mix them later.
He wouldn’t mix them now because the class bell had already rung, and the students had returned to their seats, waiting for the teacher’s arrival.
“…”
Looking at the two packs of effervescent tablets, Ye Ziming thought about it but still didn’t ask little Mu Qing to go to the school doctor to check her temperature.
Thinking about it, he withdrew his gaze, placed his hands on the desk, and waited for class.
What neither of them knew at this moment was that this action, which they didn’t think was a big deal, was not so simple in the eyes of others.
This touching of the head, and then touching the neck, wasn’t that a sign of intimacy?
Unfortunately, it was class time, and the girls couldn’t chat freely, so they had to hold back and wait for the end of the class.
Soon, the teacher appeared at the classroom door with his textbooks and announced the start of the class.
The students quickly stood up and shouted, “Hello, teacher!”
During class…
“Ah~ Finally, class is over.”
The bell for the end of the fourth class rang. As the teacher on the podium announced the end of the class, Lin Wenbin next to him complained.
Four consecutive classes were a bit too much for him.
halfway through the class, he almost fell asleep.
However, just as he was about to doze off, he caught a glimpse of the director standing outside the window, smiling as he took out his phone, about to take a nice picture of him.
This almost scared him silly. He was wide awake for the rest of the half-class.
“The next class is P.E., right?”
Hearing the voice, he glanced at Lin Wenbin, then withdrew his gaze and looked at his good brother beside him, asking with a hint of confusion.
“Yes.”
He nodded indifferently and put away his books and notebook.
“Oh, oh, so it’s today.”
Hearing this, little Mu Qing became happy. She quickly packed her things, took out her water bottle, took a big gulp of water, and then stood up, ready to go downstairs.
P.E. was scheduled as the last class, which meant they could leave school early. Great!
