Chapter 209

The class bell rang.

At the same time, Xiao Qi heard a familiar mechanical voice next to her ear: "The host has selflessly donated to build schoolhouses for poor mountain villages and contributed to bringing positive energy to classmates around, gaining 37 admirations from classmates. The host is rewarded with a Learning Progress Diamond Card. This card can only be used for one course. After studying long enough or reaching a certain level, it can be upgraded on its own."

Hearing this voice, Xiao Qi was still a bit surprised.

She didn't expect to gain so much admiration from so many classmates just like this. She actually got a Learning Progress Diamond Card. The Diamond Card can be upgraded. Xiao Qi's calligraphy was like this. Although she had always practiced hard, this card was really amazing. There was always room for improvement, spurring her to keep working hard.

At this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly felt grateful for those two inexplicable rumors. If it wasn't for the rumors as a foundation, even with this donation certificate, her classmates probably wouldn't have reacted so strongly and given so much admiration. It was just right that there were those rumors. As a result, as soon as this certificate came out, it directly refuted the rumors and the contrast was stark, reversing opinions directly. This made the donation seem even more precious and admirable.

Sometimes a blessing in disguise.

But which course should she use this Diamond Card on?

Xiao Qi thought back to her own courses. They all seemed quite important. Xiao Qi couldn't decide for the moment and decided to think about it some more.

This class was Introduction to Computers. The teacher's surname was Wu. She was a young woman, very capable, with her hair in a ponytail, oval face, some pimples on her face making her look a little oily. She was probably a recent graduate. She wore pants and a shirt, trying to dress mature.

Teacher Wu spoke quickly in class, and it was a bit dull, but she looked quite nice when she smiled.

She seemed to have a very cheerful personality.

Xiao Qi paid close attention because she really had no computer skills at all, a complete newbie.

But halfway through class, the classroom suddenly erupted in noise. Xiao Qi looked back and saw Chu Yu's face was pale white, breathing with difficulty, giving everyone a scare.

Her deskmate Lin Dongqing raised her hand, so the teacher had to stop teaching.

She walked over and asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Chu Yu shook her head weakly, "It's just my chronic illness acting up. I'll be fine after going back to rest. I forgot to bring my medication."

Young Teacher Wu looked frightened seeing her like this. She was very worried. Seeing her clutching her chest and breathing with such difficulty, it seemed like a heart problem. If it really was a heart issue, it was no small matter. She told her deskmate to take her to the infirmary.

The class leader volunteered to go along.

Chen Hanhe also wanted to stand up and say he'd go too, but didn't have the courage, so he remained seated.

And so three people left the classroom.

Originally everyone in class was secretly talking about Xiao Qi's donation. Now their attention was immediately shifted to Chu Yu's illness. The topic changed to all things Chu Yu.

Some girls thought Chu Yu was just pretending to be unwell. After all, she usually seemed quite lively and healthy.

They didn't expect her to look so frightening when she had an attack. Was it a heart condition?

Maybe congenital heart disease?

Everyone whispered.

Even Chen Mier was very curious.

Xiao Qi also felt quite curious. Because she had thought Chu Yu was probably faking illness. And it seemed those recent rumors about her were somehow related to Chu Yu.

Xiao Qi just didn't want to pay her any attention.

She didn't expect Chu Yu to really be sick.

But Xiao Qi didn't think more about it. She and Chu Yu weren't close. If it was her roommate who was sick, she might be more worried, but for someone she didn't know well, at most she felt curious, not really concerned or worried. Even if she tried to pretend to care, it would be hard to fake. At most she just wanted to watch the commotion. Xiao Qi didn't consider herself a saint. She felt this was human nature.

With this distraction, the teacher didn't seem to have the heart to continue teaching, and the students had no heart to keep listening.

There was less than ten minutes left of class, so the teacher simply let everyone read on their own.

Meanwhile, Chen Hanhe in front of Xiao Qi kept turning around to talk to Chen Mier. He looked very anxious.

Chen Mier usually looked down on her country bumpkin deskmate. She always felt he lacked backbone as a guy.

Seeing him with such a worried look now, she couldn't help poking fun, "Don't tell me you like Chu Yu. If you like her, why didn't you go with her to see her?"

Chen Hanhe's face immediately turned red as he explained, "No, it's just that she's the labor committee member and I'm the deputy labor committee member. We interact a lot usually. And we're classmates after all. It's normal to be concerned when a classmate has something happen to them."

Seeing Chen Mier's disbelief, he added another sentence, "Chu Yu has poor health, but she's a very nice person. She's usually very helpful. We only have an ordinary classmate relationship."

Chen Hanhe's words made Chen Mier scoff to herself. What helpful. She had only ever seen other people helping Chu Yu, bringing her this and that. Then Chu Yu just moved her mouth to get others to help more people, while she took credit in the end. There was a workshop supervisor like this at Chen Mier's family factory too. Clearly others did the work but she took credit for herself. Chen Mier had told her dad about it once when she saw it and got angry. But her dad just said she didn't understand and told her not to worry about such things as a child.

Whether she understood or not, she just felt unhappy about it. A truly helpful person, like her roommate Wei Cheng, was always striving to do everything first, wishing she could take care of every matter. Like Xiao Qi, if you asked her a question, she would certainly teach you very patiently and carefully until you understood.

She had never seen someone do nothing yet spread a reputation of being very helpful. Chen Mier loved gossip and was straightforward. She didn't like talking in convoluted ways and didn't like people like Chu Yu either.

When class ended, Chen Hanhe couldn't help asking the class leader Cai Yu in the class group about what happened.

The class leader Cai Yu was also confused. The school doctor had examined Chu Yu and said nothing was wrong. Just advised her not to overthink and drink more water... Then he and Lin Dongqing sent Chu Yu back to her dorm.

What would make someone their age overthink that much? As a guy, Cai Yu didn't understand at all. Seeing how pale Chu Yu's face was, breathing with such difficulty, it had frightened even him as class leader.

Chu Yu herself also said it was a chronic condition.

So he could only send her back to the dorm and tell her to drink more water...

People in the group chat asked, but Cai Yu didn't know what to say. He still felt uneasy about it. Should he say the doctor just told her to drink more water...

As class leader, Cai Yu felt he should be more responsible.

So he turned around and went back to the infirmary.

He wanted to ask clearly what exactly was going on, so he could properly answer the group chat.

But before he went in, he heard the female doctor who had just examined Chu Yu chatting with someone else.

She seemed to be talking about Chu Yu.

"Just now a young girl came to see me with a ghastly pale face, breathing haltingly. It frightened even me as a doctor. I thought it was heart disease at first, but when I took her pulse, it was very healthy and her physical condition was well-nurtured. Her heartbeat sounded normal too. Yet the young lady still said weakly that it was a chronic condition, that she had taken medicine since she was little, pretending so realistically. Can you imagine, girls nowadays pretending to be sick to skip class but acting so convincingly they almost fooled me as a doctor. With that acting skill, it'd be a waste not to become an actress. Why even attend class? She could probably become a celebrity if she went into acting instead."

At the door, class leader Cai Yu...

He had originally wanted to go in and ask what illness it was, but now didn't dare after overhearing this.

He quietly left.

He also didn't know how to answer the questions in the group chat.

As class leader he didn't want to skip class, so he returned to the classroom.

The teacher also came to ask how the female student was.

Cai Yu vaguely said, "She should be fine. She said it was a chronic condition and went back to the dorm to rest."

How could he repeat what the doctor said about just drinking more water...

The doctor didn't even prescribe any medication...

As a sunny, upright boy, Class Leader Cai Yu realized for the first time that girls were such frightening creatures... He had been so nervous sending Chu Yu out earlier that he kept his phone in hand, ready to call 120 at any time.
