Tang Lin was getting anxious. He thought, âHow could such an unfortunate incident happen at such a crucial moment?â
Tang Lin frowned and asked, âBut weâre in the middle of an exam right now. What can 1 do to help you? Would drinking hot water help?â
Rong Feiyu shook her head weakly and said, âIâm afraid not. Can I request to go back to the classroom for a rest? Itâs really bad, Iâm sorry.â
Both Tang Lin and Qiu Yonggen instinctively looked at Jian Yunzhou.
Rong Feiyu also looked at Jian Yunzhou expectantly. She thought if she didnât have to take the exam now, she could still join He Jinghan and Su Yifan being part of the Academic Research Society without having to take this entrance test.
Rong Feiyuâs mind was running wild with many plans.
Jian Yunzhou nodded and kindly said, âEveryone experiences discomfort from time to time. If Rong Feiyu is feeling unwell, itâs best to rest. Health is more important.â
Everyone in the office, except for Rong Qi and He Jinghan, was pleased to hear that. However, just as Rong Feiyu was about to express her gratitude to Jian Yunzhou, he spoke again, âIf you donât take the entrance test, it will be considered as forfeiting the opportunity to enter the Academic and Research Society. Time waits for no one.â
With a grinding halt, Jian Yunzhouâs words echoed in the room, and Rong Feiyuâs face turned pale.
Rong Feiyu clenched her lips tightly, sat in her seat, and looked like she was trying to endure her grief and humiliation. She was aware of the disappointed look in Tang Linâs eyes.
Tang Lin said, âRong Feiyu, can you hold on a little longer? Weâve come this far; itâs a pity to give up now.â
â1 understood that reasoning perfectly! But if I took the exam and didnât perform well, it would reveal my incapabilities.â Rong Feiyu thought.
Rong Feiyu couldnât help but sit down and gaze at Tang Lin weakly. She said, âMr. Tang, could you get me some pain relievers? Iâd like to continue with the exam and I wonât give up halfway.â
When Rong Feiyu said that, her eyes flashed with determination. In her mind, she thought, âIf 1 didnât perform well in the exam, it was not because of my incapabilities but rather the stomachache that caused me unable to focus on the exam. That way, no one would suspect me! After all, who would pretend to be sick and still want to take medicine?â
Tang Lin was indeed deceived and nodded in satisfaction. He said, âAlright, Iâll go get some pain relievers for you. Please hold on a bit longer.â
Rong Feiyu nodded gratefully.
However, before Tang Lin could turn to leave, Rong Qi, who was doing the test nearby, suddenly raised her head and fished out two pills from her pocket. She tossed them over to Rong Feiyu.
âItâs ibuprofen. I happen to have some. You donât need to trouble Mr. Tang to go fetch them,â Rong Qi said. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shocked, Rong Feiyu suddenly turned and glared at Rong Qi.
Rong Qi smiled innocently and said, âNo need to thank me. These were given to me by He Jinghan last time. Consider it a favor returned to you guys.â
âGiven by He Jinghan?â Both Rong Feiyu and Tang Lin were shocked.
He Jinghan nodded to confirm that it was true.
If the medicine had been given by Rong Qi, Rong Feiyu could have found reasons to decline. But if it was tied to He Jinghan, a student with an impeccable academic record, Rong Feiyu had nothing to say.
No matter what, He Jinghan had always been liked by various subject teachers for his excellent grades, and he remained low-key, never seeking the limelight. He had always been seen as a model student by everyone.
Tang Lin, unaware of Rong Feiyuâs inner thoughts, immediately went to get a cup of hot water and handed it to her, instructing her to take the medicine.
Rong Feiyu was so frustrated that she felt like cursing. However, in front of everyone, she couldnât pretend to be sick anymore and could only hold the medicine in her hand, her eyes welling up with tears. Those tears were real this time.
Rong Qi was quite pleased with herself for pulling this off. However, her smile caught the attention of Tang Lin and the others..
