Shi Niange immediately saw Qin Siting under the tree. However, he was standing there looking at his phone. She wasn’t sure if it was because his phone suddenly rang when he walked over, that he stood there to take a look, or because he realized that she hadn’t arrived, so he stood there to wait for her.

  But at least he was there.

  “Uncle Qin.” Afraid that this was just an illusion, Shi Niange quickly said, “Help me…… help me.”


  “Let’s go to the hospital first. We’ll talk about the rest when your fever subsides.” As he spoke, Uncle Qin drove away.

  “No, I can go to the hospital. Help me tell the boy standing under that tree that I took leave today. There’s no need to tell him that I’m sick. Just tell him that I had to take leave at the last minute and ask him to take notes for me. I’ll come back tomorrow……”


  Shi Niange felt that it was difficult for her to say so much. After speaking, she closed her eyes and rested for a while.

  Uncle Qin turned to look in the direction she had pointed out. He thought to himself, when he passed by earlier, that good-looking young man seemed to be standing there. Why hasn’t he left?

  He turned to look at Shi Niange as though he had thought of something. “Are you meeting him here?”


  “It’s not really a date……” Shi Niange didn’t have the mood to explain. She just wanted to tell Qin Siting before he entered the school, but she didn’t want to say that she was sick.

  Right now, her mind was very muddled. She subconsciously felt that perhaps he was waiting for her and wanted to tell him not to wait anymore. He had finally waited for her once. She really wanted to see him.

  She felt so wronged.

  Her tears were about to fall.

  She pressed her face against the car window and said weakly and helplessly, “Uncle Qin…… help me…… tell him.”


  Seeing her anxious look, Uncle Qin sighed. “All right, wait.” He then got out of the car.

  Uncle Qin took another look at the time and made a mental note of the time Shi Niange had taken the fever medicine in case the doctor asked him about it. Then, he walked all the way to the tree. He saw that the young man had shifted his gaze away from his phone and walked over. “Hello, I’m the chauffeur of the Shi family.”


  Qin Siting put down his phone and looked at him.

  “Our Miss…… has something on today. She might need to take a day off. She asked me to inform you that there’s no need to wait for her. She also asked you to prepare a copy of the class notes. She can take it when she comes to school tomorrow.” After Uncle Qin finished speaking, he felt that his mission was over and turned to leave.

  Qin Siting did not speak at first. He then glanced at the car parked not far away from Uncle Tai and asked, “There are only about a hundred days left until the college entrance examination. Why did she take leave?”


  Uncle Qin paused for a moment. Although he remembered that this young man seemed to be from the Qin family, Shi Niange was still having a high fever. From his tone, it seemed like it was unreasonable for him to ask for leave. He turned back unhappily and said, “She doesn’t want to ask for leave, but who doesn’t have urgent matters to attend to all year round?”


  “She’s in the car?” Qin Siting had already walked over. His face did not have much expression, but his voice was calm and confident.

  Uncle Qin was startled. “How did you know……”


  Hearing his silent agreement, Qin Siting did not answer. His gaze shifted to the car ahead.

  If she wasn’t in that car, how could she have known that he would be waiting for her here?

  Qin Siting headed straight for the car. Uncle Qin rushed forward in surprise. “I think it’s close to your morning self-study time. You should enter the school.”


  “Is she you ill?” Qin Siting completely ignored his words and asked instead.

  Uncle Qin paused for a moment before saying, “It’s probably the flu. She’s having a high fever.”


  “Open the car door. Let me take a look.” It was a mild, commanding tone, not a negotiation.

  Perhaps because the person in front of him was from the Qin family, Uncle Qin did not feel that there was anything wrong with his tone. However, Shi Niange had just told him not to let him know that she was sick. Now, not only did he knew, but Qin Siting also wanted to see her. If the car door was opened, Shi Niange would probably be very angry. She was already seriously ill.

  “If I remember correctly, you’re the young master of the Qin family, one of the four big families in Hai City. It’s not good for me to offend you, but our Miss doesn’t want to see anyone right now. The young lady isn’t in a good state when she’s sick. It’s understandable that she doesn’t want to see anyone. It’s better for you to enter the school. She originally wanted to force herself to go to school, but now she’s a little dazed from the fever. I’ll send her to the hospital right away. Wait for her to recover first.”


  Uncle Qin’s words were neither servile nor overbearing. Even though he was the young master of the Qin family, the Shi family was not a small character. Even if there were some ambiguous feelings between young people like them, as an elder, he could not let Shi Niange down when she was ill.

  However, Qin Siting remained where he was. His gaze was mild and cold. “I’ll only take one look at her. After confirming that there are no problems, I’ll leave.”


  Seeing Qin Siting’s indifferent yet determined attitude, Uncle Qin hesitated again. He recalled how Shi Niange had been in a hurry to get out of the car and how she had raised her head to look out of the window. Perhaps she really liked this boy, or perhaps she just wanted to take a look to reassure him. It didn’t seem right to stop him.

  After some hesitation, Uncle Qin said, “Wait here.”


  As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Qin turned to open the car door. He looked at Shi Niange, who was leaning against the car door with her face turning redder and redder from the fever. “Nian Nian.”


  No response.

  “Miss?”


  Still no response.

  Uncle Qin was worried that something had happened to her because her fever was too serious. He quickly let go of the car door and leaned close to touch her forehead. He frowned and turned back to see Qin Siting walking over. “Her fever is too serious. I called her twice but she didn’t respond. We have to go to the hospital quickly.”


  Qin Siting stood outside the car door. He leaned down slightly and saw Shi Niange, who was leaning against the car motionlessly. Her neck was slightly red from the fever and she did not react much.

  Uncle Qin was about to close the car door and drive to the hospital.

  At this moment, Qin Siting raised his hand and pressed it against the car door, preventing him from closing it. “The hospital across the school is only a small clinic. There are too many unknown causes for a high fever. Don’t go to a small hospital. Go directly to the city hospital’s emergency room.”


  “Ah? But the city hospital is too far away. Nian Nian is behind……”


  “I’ll drive. You take care of her from behind.” His tone was still cold and commanding.

  Uncle Qin didn’t know what he was thinking. An adult in his forties was actually stunned by the aura of a child who wasn’t even twenty years old. He subconsciously handed the electronic car key to him.

  Qin Siting took the car keys and threw his black shoulder bag into the car. He then indicated for Uncle Qin to get into the car and help Shi Niange up. He walked around the car, opened the door on the driver’s seat, and sat in.
