C170 (1/2)

On the way back, it began to drizzle.

Without bringing an umbrella, Chu Yu tightly held onto the information of the competition, afraid that he would get wet, and quickly quickened his pace, but his mind kept replaying what Chen Yan had told him when he left the academy.

”The results aren't out yet, why did you give up so quickly? Didn't they say that they want to become the greatest designer in China? ” When Chu Yu made clear that he was not looking forward to the outcome, Chen Yan pulled her shoulders, his tone was even a little agitated, and looked at her as if he hated her for not being able to meet expectations.

Strange, she was clearly a competitor for the championship. Without her, wouldn't his obstacles towards winning the championship be much smaller? Why did he care so much about himself? Besides, it was his dream.

Chu Yu sighed, retracting her emotions. In the following days, she only wanted to finish her studies in the academy, graduate successfully, and continue being the chief designer at R2.

She had just returned to the villa when the rain started to fall heavily. She was glad that she had walked quickly, or else she would have been drenched in sweat.

After changing out of his wet clothes, Chu Yu sat on the sofa and flipped through the academy's textbooks. She had missed out on a few lessons in her busy competition. If she did not make up for it in time, she would not be able to keep up with her teacher's progress.

After a while, she felt dizzy and her head felt heavier. She fell asleep on the sofa.

When he woke up, it was already 2 in the morning. The living room was dark and the street lights were lit outside the window. It was quiet everywhere.

However, the dizziness did not lessen in the slightest. Realizing that he had probably gotten a fever from the rain on the way back, he forced himself up to take a fever pill, then lay back down after eating it.

But lying down, he felt sore all over and felt extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, it was clearly a hot day. She remembered that she did not turn on the air conditioner when she came back, but she just felt extremely cold. She casually took a thin blanket from the sofa to cover her body before falling asleep.

”Chu Yu...” She opened her eyes, and under the warm and dark yellow light of the lamp, Xiang Qicheng's face was pressed tightly against her burning hot cheeks, as she anxiously shouted next to her ear.

”Did you take any medicine?” Only after seeing the person in front of him finally open his eyes did Xiang Qicheng relax a little.

By that time, the sky was already slightly white, and the moment he entered the door, he saw the sleeping Chu Yu, wrapped in a thin blanket, lying on the sofa. Just as he wanted to carry her into the room upstairs, the moment he touched her skin, he was shocked. It was as hot as melting wax.

However, the person who opened her eyes just stared at him in a daze without speaking. Could it be that her brain had been burnt out?

Chu Yu pointed to the wrapper on the table and looked at it closely. Only when he saw that it was a box of torn acetaminophen did he relax.

”Go back to sleep. After the fever has subsided, you can get up and eat something. If I don't leave, you can call for me anytime.” As Xiang Qicheng said this, he took out a Fever Paste from the medicine box and stuck it on Chu Yu's forehead. After tucking her in, he sat down on the sofa and opened the documents that the company had recently distributed to him.

Chu Yu nodded, seeing Xiang Qicheng sitting at the side, at a place within his reach, he closed his eyes in relief.

In fact, he had not finished dealing with many of the matters at the branch company yet, but he was still worried about Chu Yu being here alone. After settling a few major issues, he anxiously rushed back.

Fortunately, he came back. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know that she had a fever. She was exactly the same as before, liking to carry everything by herself.

At some point in time, the automatic night sensing light in the living room had been turned off. Chu Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window at the dazzling white field of light outside.
