586: Chapter 586 Fishing 586: Chapter 586 Fishing Seeing Xiaoxiao in such a state of panic, Ye Haochuan frowned.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t be afraid, I’m your classmate Yingxue, and this is our school’s doctor, Doctor Ye Haochuan, whom you know,”
Su Yingxue reassured her.
Once Xiaoxiao saw clearly that it was the two of them, her tense expression began to relax.
She nodded slightly and choked out, “It’s you…”
Su Yingxue nodded and said, “I know you haven’t been feeling well since you came back last night, so I brought Doctor Ye.
Why don’t you let him check you out, how about it?”
“No, I don’t want to, I’m not sick…” Xiaoxiao suddenly started to scream, her overreaction catching everyone by surprise.
Ye Haochuan’s brow furrowed deeply.
He had often seen Xiaoxiao when he used to live in this dormitory building; she was a lively and cheerful girl, but her current reaction was completely at odds with her usual self.
“Xiaoxiao, you’re certainly not sick, but you seem to be feeling unwell.
Since I’ve already brought Doctor Ye, why not let him have a look at you?
Health is a crucial asset…” Su Yingxue urged.
“No, I don’t want to,” Xiaoxiao screamed again.
Su Yingxue was about to persuade her further when Ye Haochuan held her back, giving her a look: “Don’t bother, I can already tell her physical condition…”
“Oh?” Su Yingxue asked, “What’s her condition then?”
“Her physical health seems normal, but her mental state is not optimistic.
It appears she has suffered a great shock.
However, as to what exactly happened, we still don’t know.
We need to ask her,” Ye Haochuan said gravely.
“But with Xiaoxiao’s current mood, even as a classmate, I feel a bit rejected by her.
It’s probably difficult to find out the reason,” Su Yingxue said with a headache.
“We have to ask, regardless,” Ye Haochuan insisted.
“This is a psychological issue, falling within the realm of mental health.
Even if my medical skills were divine, without knowing the specifics, how could I prescribe the right remedy?”
“Oh,” Su Yingxue nodded, then turned to Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, although I don’t know what’s going on with you, no matter what happens, I’m on your side.
The way you are now is really concerning.
Can you try to perk up a bit?”
Xiaoxiao kept her head down in silence.
“Xiaoxiao, why don’t you tell me what happened when you went to contact the merchants for our charity event yesterday?
Can you talk to me about it?”
Su Yingxue repeated the question several times, but Xiaoxiao remained silent, like a wooden statue.
Seeing that no answer was forthcoming, Ye Haochuan shook his head and couldn’t help saying, “Classmate Xiaoxiao, I don’t know what you have experienced, but since it’s all in the past, don’t carry that burden in your heart.
Life is a long journey, and I hope you can gather your strength…”
As he was speaking, a phone started ringing, but it wasn’t Su Yingxue’s or Ye Haochuan’s—it was Xiaoxiao’s.
However, upon seeing the caller ID on her phone, Xiaoxiao’s face went pale, and her whole body began to tremble.
Ye Haochuan found this odd and glanced at her phone, but it was just a phone number with no saved name.
How strange that Xiaoxiao had such a strong reaction to an unknown number, Ye Haochuan thought, puzzled.
Meanwhile, Su Yingxue, seeing Xiaoxiao staring at her phone without any intention of answering it, couldn’t help asking, “Xiaoxiao, why aren’t you answering your phone?
Alright, if you don’t want to answer, then let me do it for you.”
“No—” Xiaoxiao screamed, suddenly grabbed her phone and threw it away.
With a loud crash, the phone fell to the ground, its casing and components scattering all over the place.
This scene, seen by Ye Haochuan and Su Yingxue, both felt a little unbelievable.
Su Yingxue wanted to get to the bottom of it, but was stopped by Ye Haochuan, who said in a low voice, “Xiaoxiao is very emotionally unstable, it’s better to let her rest alone for a bit.”
“But…” Su Yingxue hesitated slightly, but seeing Xiaoxiao’s state, she had to comply.
Once outside and after closing the door, Ye Haochuan began to speak in a mysterious undertone, “The number that called just now, I’ve secretly memorized it.
I think since Xiaoxiao is so sensitive about this phone number, it might be the clue to solving the problem.
As long as we get in touch with this person, maybe we can understand the cause of Xiaoxiao’s emotional upheaval, don’t you think?”
Su Yingxue’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she joyfully said, “Brother Ye is smart to have thought of this.”
Ye Haochuan chuckled, “If I weren’t smart, how could I be your Brother Ye?”
“Smug.” Su Yingxue giggled, then urged him, “Brother Ye, quick, quick, quick, hurry up and note down that phone number before you forget it.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got the number memorized perfectly.”
As he spoke, Ye Haochuan took out his phone, entered the number into it, and saved it.
“Brother Ye, what do you plan to do next?” Su Yingxue asked urgently.
Naturally, we go fishing,” Ye Haochuan chuckled, “But, I might need your collaboration when the time comes.”
“You need my collaboration?” Su Yingxue was taken aback, “Brother Ye, how can I help?”
“You need to imitate Xiaoxiao’s voice and fish for information,” Ye Haochuan explained with a smile.
“Oh,” Su Yingxue realized, “Then go ahead and make the call, and I’ll ask.”
“What’s the rush?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, “We don’t have a clear picture of the situation yet.
If we call rashly and spook them, wouldn’t we end up with no information at all?”
“Smart, smart, smart!” Su Yingxue giggled.
Ye Haochuan heard the sarcasm in her words but didn’t care to respond, saying, “This isn’t a good place.
Come on, let’s go to your dormitory and fish properly…
“Alright.” Su Yingxue nodded her head.
Once in Su Yingxue’s dormitory, they sat in the living room, and Ye Haochuan thought up the wording for a text message, composed it, and sent it.
The gist was that his phone had fallen into water, the SIM card was damaged, and he was using a classmate’s phone.
After reading his sent message, Su Yingxue smiled and gave a thumbs-up, “Brother Ye, I find you’re pretty cunning…”
“All’s fair in love and war,” Ye Haochuan laughed.
Just then, the phone rang with a text message from the other party, “What’s it going to be?
Xiaoxiao, I’m warning you, if you try any tricks, I’ll upload all those photos of you onto the internet, and ruin your reputation.
“Photos?” Ye Haochuan and Su Yingxue looked at each other, feeling that there might be more to the situation than what meets the eye.
PS: I was planning four chapters for today, but an unexpected hospital visit to a relative came up, hence the delay…
