After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor Chapter 76 - 77: Illness (5)

Continuing to talk with Lou Xi like this was getting nowhere, and Qin Mobai had a terrible headache. Students and teachers were passing by around them.

He gave Lou Xi a faint glance and walked past her, leaving.

Lou Xi was stubborn, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if she didn’t clear things up with Qin Mobai.

She turned around and chased after him, but for so reason, the stone path was so slippery. As soon as she turned, she couldn’t keep her balance and fell to the ground.

"Ouch—" Lou Xi landed on her butt, and it really hurt! It felt like her butt was going to split open!

Hearing the call from behind, Qin Mobai stopped and turned around, seeing Lou Xi on the ground, looking like she was in pain.

He frowned. How could this girl trip on flat ground?

He had already started walking towards Lou Xi, but in an instant, he saw the triumphant smile on her face.

Did she do it on purpose?

Qin Mobai paused his steps, but this ti, without stopping for even half a second, he decisively turned around and left.

Lou Xi watched as Qin Mobai’s steps grew faster and faster, completely bewildered. Did he not see her fall down? It really hurt!

"Young Master Qin—so painful—I can’t get up—" Lou Xi shouted a few tis, but found that Qin Mobai didn’t turn back, and was walking even faster!

Lou Xi sat on the ground, dejected, because it really did hurt!

She realized she was truly in a ss this ti, her butt hurt so much, and her hands were scraped from when she supported herself on the ground. Yet, Qin Mobai had no intention of helping her.

What was that supposed to an? Was all the kindness before just a lie, and now that he finds her boring, he just leaves her like that?

Suddenly, Lou Xi saw a pair of leather shoes stop in front of her, looking very classy, like...

Lou Xi looked up and found that it wasn’t Qin Mobai standing in front of her, but—

Rong Zhi.

"Brother Rong!" Lou Xi said in surprise, staring at Rong Zhi. Why was he here?

Because she was surprised, when Lou Xi got up, she forgot to hold onto Rong Zhi’s hand and got up by supporting herself off the ground instead.

Rong Zhi looked at Lou Xi’s awkward state and took out a handkerchief, offering it to her. "Wipe it off, I’ll take you to the infirmary."

Lou Xi eyed the handkerchief, which looked very expensive, and dared not take it, fearing she’d dirty it.

"It’s fine, I can go on my own." Lou Xi quickly waved her hand.

Rong Zhi’s handso face showed a hint of concern. He took Lou Xi’s hand and carefully wiped off the dirt on her hand.

Lou Xi was completely stunned, feeling as if the air around them had frozen.

Only the movent of wiping the palm with the handkerchief continued.

She slightly raised her head and saw Rong Zhi’s careful expression as he lowered his head, intently cleaning the dirt from her hand.

Her heart seed to skip a beat.

Suddenly, Lou Xi withdrew her hand and hid it behind her back.

The place where Rong Zhi had touched felt burning hot!

Rong Zhi raised his head and saw Lou Xi’s flushed face. He stepped forward and placed his hand on her forehead.

"No fever." He touched her forehead with his hand, then checked his own, finding no difference.

Lou Xi just felt her heart about to jump out of her chest; she didn’t dare to look directly into Rong Zhi’s eyes.

"I... I can... go to the infirmary... myself..."

"Why be so polite with ? If I don’t take good care of you, my parents definitely won’t let off the hook."

Since they were neighbors, Rong Zhi’s parents liked Lou Xi quite a lot, and since Lou Xi was attending university in Rong Zhi’s city, they asked him to look after her.

Though they hadn’t crossed paths before, now that they had...
