She panicked. It was as if there was a muffled thunder in her head, a buzzing sound in the white, and her breathing became rapid and dull. Her chest seemed to be pressed down by something. Her bones became heavy, and the beating of her heart slowed down. A chill seeped into her flesh and blood, and as the temperature dropped, they seemed to gradually stagnate. However, it seemed that it was not them that slowed down, but time that slowed down.
At this moment, every second feels like a year.
But her consciousness had gradually peeled away and floated in a dead silence. She thought of nothing and stopped thinking in this moment which was also eternity.
until……
“Su Yao? Su Yao, what’s wrong with you?”
The shouting reached Su Yao’s ears, and she felt someone pushing her shoulder. The subtle quasi-death mental state was broken. The next moment, Su Yao’s consciousness returned to reality, and her heart began to beat wildly at this moment.
The blood pumping speed increased and the metabolic rate reached a peak. At the same time, the demand for oxygen continued to increase. She had to breathe heavily and broke out in a sweat.
Zhang Li was frightened by Su Yao’s condition, but after a brief moment of confusion, she quickly reacted and went over to support Su Yao, who was sitting precariously on a wooden stool.
“Are you okay? I’ll take you to the infirmary!”
“I’m fine…”
Without the intentional low tone, Su Yao’s voice was completely the crisp voice of a girl. She rejected Zhang Li’s kindness out of instinct, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with her.
But Zhang Li didn’t think so. She didn’t look like he was okay just now. She insisted on sending Su Yao to the infirmary. Su Yao had no choice but to agree.
Arrived at the infirmary.
Su Yao sat alone on a soft chair, with his head down and silent. A few steps away, Zhang Lizheng was talking to the doctor on duty about what had just happened.
The school’s infirmary can only treat some simple illnesses. A more in-depth diagnosis still requires going to a large hospital. For a case like Su Yao’s, where he suddenly lost consciousness for a few seconds, it is likely that this is a case that requires brain or neurology work, and the doctor on duty cannot take it.
Su Yao couldn’t sit still when she heard that she had to go to a big hospital. Her gender had changed, so her DNA must have changed as well. She was now a real illegal immigrant…
So she said hurriedly.
“I’m not going!”
The doctor on duty and Zhang Li were both stunned. The doctor looked at Su Yao and then at Zhang Li, meaning that he should handle it on his own and that it was none of his business.
Seeing Su Yao’s resistance, Zhang Li wanted to persuade her again, but she swallowed the words back because she found that Su Yao’s body was shaking.
Thinking that her persuasion seemed tantamount to coercion, she gave up the idea of asking Su Yao to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up and turned to the doctor on duty.
“Let me check if some basic signs are normal.”
The doctor paused, then nodded and went to get the tools.
In fact, there was no high-end equipment, just a stethoscope. The doctor on duty grabbed the stethoscope head and handed it to Su Yao, asking Su Yao to put it on his chest.
Su Yao unzipped her coat, revealing a small part of her chest. Although it was covered by a thick sweater, one could still see that her chest was tall and straight. She silently inserted the cold stethoscope head through her collar and placed it on her chest.
The zipper of the clothes was unzipped, and the hat inevitably fell off, leaving the messy long hair scattered.
Zhang Li looked at the girl in front of him, feeling both surprised and feeling that it made sense. The two A4 papers she had held in her hand were exactly Su Yao’s information and a copy of her ID card, which clearly stated that she was a male.
No matter how you look at it, Su Yao at the moment is still a girl.
She had had her suspicions before, but she just thought that he had a delicate appearance and looked like a girl, but his breasts and voice didn’t sound fake.
and……
After completing some minor checks, Su Yao looked at Zhang Li, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
“Teacher, I feel a little unwell and would like to ask for leave…”
“ah?”
Zhang Li almost jumped up. She thought Su Yao was upset after her secret was discovered and was ready to refuse. However, the Su Yao she saw looked very calm. She didn’t look nervous at all, as if nothing had happened.
But being too calm makes people more suspicious!
Su Yao’s request to go back was ultimately rejected. After being rejected, she lowered her head and looked very lost, but Su Yao did not feel lost. Instead, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness. When faced with this unblockable sense of insecurity, she instinctively wanted to run back home.
A pair of hands were clutching at clothes, and his face was full of panic and helplessness.
Her already pretty face looked very pale during that special period, and she looked as if she had encountered a problem that she couldn’t solve and had no idea what to do. She was biting her lower lip to suppress the fear in her heart, which made people feel pity for her.
Zhang Li took Su Yao out of the infirmary. On the way back to the office, she spoke to Su Yao, who kept his head down beside her.
“The teacher won’t tell anyone.”
“…”
Su Yao was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at the thing Zhang Li handed to her. After hesitating for half a second, she reached out and took the pack of small pads.
It was this small package that landed in Zhang Li’s office, causing Zhang Li to have many thoughts in his mind, which eventually led to what happened just now.
If only it hadn’t been dropped in the office.
But what happened has already happened and it cannot be changed no matter what. Even if Zhang Li’s acting skills are comparable to those of a movie queen, pretending not to know is just pretending… If possible, just keep pretending.
“Thank you, teacher.”
“Need not.”
Zhang Li looked at Su Yao, who was hunched over with her head down and had no image at all, and sighed. She obviously had a very beautiful face and a good figure, but why didn’t she show her best side?
People can never understand each other.
Don’t think about it. As long as Su Yao is fine and nothing happens, Zhang Li will be thankful.
Zhang Li asked Su Yao to go directly to the study room, while she went back to the office to collect the two pieces of materials that fell on the ground. Then she went to the study room to arrange things about the New Year’s Day art performance.
Compared to high school, the art performances in university are fuller and freer, but I was a freshman after all, and I couldn’t adapt to this kind of freedom all of a sudden. I completely let go of the constraints of my thoughts, and after brainstorming for a long time, it seemed like the same old tricks, singing, dancing… um, it was so boring!
However, what Zhang Li needs is not a performance on stage on New Year’s Day. It is difficult for them to compete with large clubs in terms of creativity and professionalism. What she wants is for the children to participate in the process of doing it seriously.
Finally it was decided to perform a fairy tale, with the emphasis on costumes and props, and everyone involved.
Su Yao was assigned the job of clothing production. Although she was not very willing, she had to participate in this collective activity.
