The teacher was not seen in the medical office, probably because he had left after school,

But Zhiye's condition was worrying, so I had to borrow the bed in the medical office,

I put Zhiye down and helped her onto the bed, covering her with a blanket,

"The teacher is not in the medical office, this is really distressing,"

In this sudden situation, as someone who knows nothing about it, I have no idea how to handle it,

"Jie..."

Just as I was anxiously wringing my hands, Zhiye called me softly,

"Has the pain gotten worse?" My heart suddenly leaped into my throat,

"No... it's much better than before..."

Hearing Zhiye say this, I finally felt relieved. If it had worsened, I would have had to call for help from the hospital,

"Then just lie down and rest..." I had planned to go get some hot water for Zhiye to drink, but before I reached the exit,

Zhiye asked, "Jie, where are you going?"

"I'm going to get you some hot water... It's cold outside, drinking hot water can warm up your body a bit,"

"No need, I'm already warm enough..." Zhiye gestured to the blanket covering her,

"Is that so? But it's still better to drink hot water..."

"No need... Jie, can you come over here for a moment?"

Hearing Zhiye say this, I had no choice but to dismiss the idea of getting hot water and instead walked towards the bedside,

"There's a chair over there..." Zhiye pointed to a chair beside them, I was a little confused but still followed her instruction,

"Move it over here,"

I moved the chair to the position she specified,

"Please sit down..."

And so I sat down... there didn't seem to be anything wrong, but is this really okay?

I felt a bit uneasy,

"Jie, do you remember what happened when we were children, when we were together?"

Just when I didn't know how to start the conversation, Zhiye asked,

"Oh... this... " I thought for a moment, and smiled bitterly. I had completely forgotten about my childhood memories,

"I can't remember, I'm sorry..." Forgetting something so important made me feel ashamed,

"No... it's okay, Jie doesn't need to apologize," Zhiye shook her head with a gentle tone. She wasn't angry because I forgot about our childhood memories,

"Then was I playing with Zhiye when I was a child?"

"Yes... Jie was a very lively and cheerful little boy, always approaching me proactively," Zhiye remembered and smiled with nostalgia on her face,

"Really? I feel like that's not really the case," From some vague memories, I felt like I was not talkative and had some mild delusions. I wasted over ten years, from elementary school to junior high and high school, without having any close friends,

But I vaguely felt that I had done something that made me proud, but I couldn't remember what it was,

"I'm not lying about this, Jie was like that when we were children..." "Maybe I became a different person after we separated," I joked,

"Why did we separate... If we had stayed together, maybe..." A trace of gloom appeared on Zhiye's face,

"Aren't we still together now?" In order to dispel the gloom on her face, I said this,

"You're right..." But Zhiye didn't seem very happy,

"Am I not as outstanding as I was when I was a child?"

I tried to dig out my flaws,

"No... Whether it's when you were a child or now, Jie is the same," Zhiye denied, but why didn't she seem too happy about it,

"Compared to when you were a child, I prefer the current Jie..." "This..." "Not that the Jie from when you were a child wasn't likable, it's just that I prefer the current Jie," "Why?" I didn't quite understand what Zhiye meant,

"When Jie was a child, you treated me like a sister and relied on me. Now that Jie has grown up, I want to rely on Jie. I don't want to be seen as just a sister. I want to be loved by Jie...""Do I like the current me just because of this reason?"

"Not entirely..."

"Then..."

"It's just a childish crush, kind of far-fetched, right? But Jie is everything to me, my love. No one else has the right or qualification to receive my love, only Jie..."

Zhiye said affectionately, and I was surprised, feeling like I was being put on a high pedestal.

"It's an honor to be liked by Zhiye like this. I may not be good with words, but I won't let Zhiye bear everything alone. Love is something that involves two people, liking each other... and it will have a good outcome, right?"

That's my own opinion. Zhiye asked me seriously after hearing it, "Then, does Jie like me?"

"..." I hesitated for some reason when being asked like this. I don't know why I hesitated. I should have answered without any hesitation that I do like him, but for some reason...

"Of course... I like you," my reply was not said in a very serious tone, it was more like a casual response.

Even though I actually wanted to say it seriously, I don't know why it came out like this.

"Um... Zhiye... I..."

In the next moment, I saw Zhiye look a bit gloomy, making me panic a little.

"I'm feeling better now, I think we can go back home,"

Zhiye said with a smile, dispelling the gloominess.

"Then let's go home..."

Since Zhiye said so, I couldn't keep letting her lie down all the time, and I wanted to know about the little girl's situation. Did she meet her brother?

With these doubts in mind, Zhiye and I returned to the school gate. At this time, the sky was slightly dark, and the little girl had already disappeared, it seemed like we missed her. Although I really wanted to understand the situation, it was futile without her address, and I felt like I had meddled too much.

Zhiye's body hadn't fully recovered, so it would be better to go home. Thinking like this, I dismissed the thought of looking for the little girl and went home with Zhiye.
