"Nianhua, if it weren’t for the teacher telling us, we wouldn’t have known!" Fei Jiayi entered the hospital room, and when she saw Xu Nianhua, she thought she had seen wrong.
Her head was wrapped up, and her foot was in a cast, making her look immobile.
"Nianhua, such a big deal, how could you not tell us? Aren’t we roommates?" Ding Guo placed the fruits they brought on the table beside them.
The advantage of a private room is that it is spacious and quiet; there’s no need to worry about disturbing others, or being disturbed.
"Yes, Nianhua, although we might not be able to help much, we’ll always do whatever little we can," the usually shy Chang Hui also spoke up. In the dorm, the person she admired and felt closest to was Xu Nianhua. It was Xu Nianhua who encouraged her to bravely speak foreign languages.
"Exactly." Liao Jinling also joined in. When she was sick last time, it was Xu Nianhua who carried her down to the infirmary.
Without Xu Nianhua, without the people in the dorm, she would have suffered in pain unnoticed that day.
"Nianhua, we are roommates."
Zhou Wanwan presented some pastries, saying, "This is a little token from all of us."
"Thank you guys." Xu Nianhua listened to everyone’s comments, and couldn’t be happier. She smiled and said, "I’m fine, just bad luck, nothing serious."
"You call this nothing serious?" Fei Jiayi stared at her injuries, incredulously looking at her, injured like that and still saying it’s nothing serious.
"I’m really fine, just need some rest," Xu Nianhua earnestly nodded.
"This person is beautiful, truly blessed by nature." Ding Guo immediately continued, saying, "Nianhua has been in the hospital for a few days, except for looking a bit pale, appearing pitiable, she doesn’t look bad at all, even... there’s a delicate beauty to her."
"Absolutely," Chang Hui nodded in agreement.
Zhou Wanwan looked carefully before saying, "Indeed, it’s true."
She hadn’t washed her hair in days, and it almost stank, and her face, only wiped with a cloth, wearing hospital clothes, how could she look good?
The people from the dorm stayed until two in the afternoon, and since they had classes, everyone left.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xu Nianhua, while eating an apple, noticed that Pei Yining was continuously watching her.
"I think your roommate is absolutely right," Pei Yining earnestly said. "You possess a delicate beauty that makes you even more endearing."
Pei Yining rubbed her forehead, feeling aggrieved; she hadn’t said anything wrong.
"You should go to school tomorrow, no need to come see me," Xu Nianhua reminded. "All three of you are now at the hospital, I’m fine alone, there’s no need for you all to stay with me."
The three of them had been with her almost every day since the incident, and it felt... too troublesome.
It was alright with her second brother, but having Pei Yicheng and Pei Yining around made her feel guilty.
"No way," Pei Yining firmly said. "What if you need to go to the bathroom?"
"My brother carries me to the bathroom, I can manage myself," Xu Nianhua felt that having them all here was putting too much pressure on her!
They were all students and needed to attend classes. Hanging IVs in the morning and chatting idly, mornings would pass, but come afternoon, the hospital room seemed to turn into a small classroom.
