「Ah Yuan, that’s all for now! I’m heading back to the dorm, bye! See you tomorrow~ haha laugh.JPG」
“Okay, bye.”
After ending the chat with Li Tang, Lin Xinyuan put down her phone and just lay there, not covering herself with the blanket.
The air conditioner was on in the room, so there was no need to worry about being cold.
She wasn’t able to fall asleep easily now; her mind was a mess…
Yeah… such a serious thing happened.
Although she only fainted briefly and it wasn’t severe enough to require hospitalization.
But this matter was extremely bad.
If the counselor found out, she would definitely tell Lin Xinyuan’s family!
How would they react…
If they came and saw her in this pitiful state now, haha… they probably wouldn’t even recognize her, right?
But… maybe there was no need to worry too much.
They never cared about her before; would they really care now?
Your son has grown up and can handle things on his own now, right?
Hehehe…
Dazed and exhausted all over, Lin Xinyuan’s sleep was restless.
When the morning light shone into the room, the sound of a door opening came from outside.
Hearing this noise, the already uneasy girl quickly woke up.
“Teacher Xue?”
Upon hearing her weak voice, Teacher Xue came into the room and saw that she was already awake.
“Did I wake you up, Xinyuan?”
Lin Xinyuan shook her head, showing a somewhat forced smile on her pale face.
“No, Teacher Xue, I just couldn’t sleep well.”
“I see… how do you feel?” Teacher Xue asked, moving forward to touch Lin Xinyuan’s forehead, then looking at her pale complexion.
“Ah! Your condition has gotten worse!”
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan carefully felt herself.
“Weak all over, stomach uncomfortable, slight headache…”
She hesitated, then pointed to the two areas in front of her… quickly withdrew her hand, embarrassed.
“Also, this place feels a little…”
She didn’t finish, but Teacher Xue already understood.
After a moment of thought, she said, “I see… your menstruation is probably coming soon. You need to be careful these days.”
“No, you don’t know?” Teacher Xue suddenly realized something was wrong and asked worriedly, “This isn’t your first time, right? Have you had it before?”
“No…” The girl lowered her head.
She certainly couldn’t tell Teacher Xue she’d only been a girl for a few days now…
“So it’s like this… but if your period is coming so late… your body is too weak…” Teacher Xue pondered for a while, then carefully examined Lin Xinyuan’s thin figure beneath the sweater, mumbling to herself.
“All right then… Lin, it’s hard to remember all this if I just say it aloud, add me on WeChat! I’ll send you some reminders for your period. You have to read them carefully. Also, try not to eat anything spicy or cold these days, okay?”
“Okay…”
“By the way, your headache, right? Is it a normal pain? No other symptoms?”
“No… just a little pain…”
“All right, got it… I brought you breakfast. Eat first, and I’ll get you some medicine.”
“Thank you, Teacher Xue!”
“Don’t mention it.”
Teacher Xue nodded and went out to bring a bowl of hot porridge, already packed, for Lin Xinyuan.
After finishing the porridge and waiting a bit for digestion, she took the medicine with the warm water that Teacher Xue poured, as instructed.
After doing this, Lin Xinyuan prepared to lie down and rest again.
She hadn’t forgotten what happened last night and planned to leave with Li Tang once she arrived.
Just now, Lin Xinyuan had tried walking.
Although her legs were still weak and her body uncomfortable, she could walk normally.
Not like last night when she didn’t know why she could barely even stand…
A night of rest really helped…
Just as Lin Xinyuan lay on the hospital bed, looking at the message Li Tang sent on her phone, a faint noise came from outside.
“Teacher Qi, you’re here to see Lin again?”
“Yes! Lin is okay, right?” A clear female voice.
“No major issues, just that her period is coming soon, and she’s feeling unwell. For specifics… you should go check.”
“Okay.”
“……”
Hearing the conversation outside, Lin Xinyuan’s heart sank, and she became a bit anxious.
To be honest… she didn’t really know how to face this counselor…
She just stared at her phone, pretending to scroll the screen, but in reality, she read Li Tang’s message over and over again.
She didn’t know how much time had passed before the gentle female voice suddenly came from beside her, soft as flowing water: “Xinyuan?”
A faint floral fragrance filled her nose.
Without looking, Lin Xinyuan knew Counselor Qi Yan was here, standing by her bed…
“Mm… Teacher Qi…”
She replied softly, her voice trembling.
One hand hidden under the blanket clenched into a fist, unwilling to look at the person beside her.
“Does it still hurt here?” The scent grew a little stronger as a soft hand reached out to gently stroke Lin Xinyuan’s neck, but she immediately sensed it and instinctively dodged.
The woman was slightly stunned but said nothing, silently withdrawing her hand.
Lin Xinyuan’s body trembled slightly.
She looked up at the woman.
This was a young and beautiful woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, none other than her counselor, Qi Yan.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore…”
Whispering this, Lin Xinyuan immediately lowered her head again, tightening her grip on the phone.
“I couldn’t get through to your family by phone, so I sent a message explaining what happened.
There was a reply this morning… if possible… they should come to see you in the next few days…”
Qi Yan looked at the delicate girl before her with a pained expression.
When she learned about her student’s accident last night, she felt both worried and angry.
She worried that this incident would affect her own chances of promotion… and was furious that someone dared to harm her student, almost causing a major incident…
Seeing the unconscious girl that night had made her feel heartbroken and guilty.
Especially after learning from Teacher Xue about Lin Xinyuan’s true gender, these feelings intensified.
She recognized this student well — the boy she had called over for a talk.
Lin Xinyuan’s looks were so beautiful that it left a deep impression.
The boy’s feminine appearance had made Qi Yan a bit suspicious back then, but the records said male, so she didn’t think much…
She never expected such a thing to happen to this student so soon!
Considering the reaction of the girl’s family, Qi Yan began to have some suspicions.
And the quiet reminder from Teacher Xue, who also served as the psychology teacher, made her realize that Lin Xinyuan might be suffering from psychological issues…
Recalling her casual talk with Lin Xinyuan before, a wave of guilt, worry, and pain swept through her heart…
“They won’t come…”
Lin Xinyuan’s emotions had been unstable but somewhat controlled.
Hearing Qi Yan’s words now, she couldn’t hold back and her eyes began to moisten.
Memories played like a silent movie…
Thinking about recent events, her heart grew even more fearful.
The girl lowered her head, tears sliding down onto the black screen of her phone.
The oil coating made them roll to the edge before falling off…
Qi Yan quietly watched the bowed figure, the thin shoulders beneath the sweater rising and falling, mirroring the owner’s restless emotions.
“It’s always been like this…”
