Red Balloon, Chapter 6: Fever
Li Xiang Wan thought when his seeing Xu Chu Qing delivering a
letter to Xia Zhi Chen in the daytime today. He knew it was a love letter so he
nodded his head casually. He was a little concerned and asked casually, "Does
Xu Chu Qing like you?"
"No, you think too much." Xia Zhi Chen was
embarrassed. He doesn't know why he lied. He's afraid of being misunderstood by
Li Xiang Wan.
"Really?" Li Xiang Wan didn't believe it very much,
"but I saw that she gave a letter to you today, so you can show it to
me."
Li Xiang Wan was so distressing. Xia Zhi Chen still didn't
show him, "It's strange to show others' things to you."
"Why are you so stingy?" the more Xia Zhi Chen is
like this, the more Li Xiang Wan wanted to see it. He tried to find it on Xia
Zhi Chen and pat his pocket tries to find it out. He keeps shouting: "Look
for it."
But Xia Zhi Chen has been pushing his hands around, and he
was not angry. Li Xiang Wan couldn't find it, so he had to stop.
The Dean looked at the suggestion letter which was almost
handed over to the headmaster, and he was very angry. He didn't expect Xu Yang
to be so bold and complain to the headmaster about those students bullying him.
It says:
Dear Principal:
I must tell you something. I know that maybe I'm different
from others, but this can't be a reason for others to bully me. I'm helpless,
and the teacher can't help me. Only you the principal can help me.
Xu Yang
However, the assistant of the principal didn't give the
letter to the principal at the first time, but gave it to the dean.
The Dean thinks that Xu Yang is shameless. He was not
satisfied with his punishment before. If this letter is handed in, he would
surely lose his job. He must teach Xu Yang a good lesson.
At the moment, Xu Yang didn't know that, he was helping the
female students in the class to analyze their emotional problems. His usual
role was as a girly friend. Even when the female students came with a stomachache,
he would enthusiastically give them chocolate.
At this time, Xu Yang was told to go to the office of the
director of discipline, and was scolded immediately after entering the door.
“You feel your conscience and feel the need to say, didn't I
help you? Do you think I didn't see what you look like now and what your school
uniform is like? I don't mean I'm blind! I remembered you. "
The dean of discipline raised the letter and warned, "Letter,
you didn't think I saw it. Now get out of here."
Xu Yang didn't know what blood mold he had poured. He had
just been scolded by the director. When he came back to the classroom, his desk
was filled with insulting words written by the boys. Xu Yang ran out of the
classroom crying.
He really can't stand it anymore. He really felt that he
didn't do anything wrong. He bravely admitted that his sexual orientation so
why should be tortured like this. He is really losing the courage to live.
Tai Shan asked for leave to go home due to his grandmother's
illness, so Li Xiang Wan and Xia Zhi Chen were left in the dormitory alone. Li
Xiang Wan joked that they started living together.
Xu Chu Qing was in a state of confusion all the time, waiting
for the reply from Xia Zhi Chen. She looked at the phone for a few minutes,
even doubted whether the phone at home was broken, but there was still no news
from Xia Zhi Chen.
At the moment, Xia Zhi Chen was immersed in a happy sharing a
room life, which make it all the fun to feed turtles with Li Xiang Wan. Li
Xiang Wan is not serious sometimes. He is shy when he pinches his abs
occasionally.
Xia Zhi Chen has never been so close to others. Every day, he
works out with Li Xiang Wan, they walked together, and click photos together.
At this time, Xu Chu Qing could not calm down any more. She
decided to take the initiative and ask Xia Zhi Chen.
In PE class, Xia Zhi Chen caught a cold, so the teacher
authorized Xia Zhi Chen to have a rest without going into the water.
"People who can't swim 50 meters today are qualified to leave
class!" The PE teacher ordered. Xu Chu Qing took a breath of cool air. She
can't swim very well. Today's task is estimated to be terrible for her.
As expected, Xu Chu Qing seemed to be drowning, but there are
too many students. The teacher didn't notice, but Xia Zhi Chen noticed. He
couldn't care much about his cold and jumped into the pool.
Xu Chu Qing was rescued and landed smoothly, but Xia Zhi
Chen's cold got more serious. He slept in his bedroom at night and coughed
constantly. Li Xiang Wan was particularly worried about him. He got up and
climbed to Xia Zhi Chen's bed, "Xia Zhi Chen, are you ok?"
"[Cough], [cough], nothing." Xia Zhi Chen felt
uncomfortable, but he didn't want to bother Li Xiang Wan.
Li Xiang Wan touched Xia Zhi Chen's forehead with his hand.
It was freaking hot! He was ready to pick up Xia Zhi Chen, "No, you have a
fever. I'll take you to the hospital."
But Xia Zhi Chen didn't want to, he was lying on the bed and
refused to move, and the pulled Li Xiang Wan down. Li Xiang Wan was lying on
Xia Zhi Chen's body at this time, with two faces close to each other. With a
painful expression on his face, Li Xiang Wan felt the breath coming out of him,
and his heart beat hard, then he quickly stood up.
"I'm ok. [Cough] Just sweat, [cough]... "
"It's all right." Li Xiang Wan was angry. Xia Zhi
Chen doesn't take his body fever seriously. He has a fever and is still holding
on not going to the hospital.
But even if Xia Zhi Chen was weak, he still refused to go to
the hospital. Li Xiang Wan could not force him. He had to look for ice
everywhere, but only found a few boxes of iced black tea. He immediately put
them to Xia Zhi Chen's forehead, hoping to cool him down.
"How is it? Is it better?" Li Xiang Wan held the
iced black tea and asked Xia Zhi Chen.
It was cool on the forehead. It felt very comfortable. Seeing
Li Xiang Wan's hard work, Xia Zhi Chen insisted, "Don’t mind me. Go to
sleep."
"Look at yourself, how can I sleep?" Li Xiang Wan
thought Xia Zhi Chen is too stupid. If he doesn't care about him, is he still
human? Seeing Xia Zhi Chen sweating, he took a towel to dry him again.
"I'm cold!" Xia Zhi Chen said vaguely, as if he was
more uncomfortable, Li Xiang Wan immediately covered his quilt, but the
situation did not alleviate much.
Li Xiang Wan thought about it. No matter what, he got into of
Xia Zhi Chen’s quilt and warmed him with his own body temperature. Xia Zhi
Chen's body was really cold. Li Xiang Wan rubbed Xia Zhi Chen's body with his
own hands and feet. Slowly, Xia Zhi Chen's body gradually warmed and he fell
asleep.
Li Xiang Wan was so close to him for the first time. It's a
bit immoral to say it, but he is grateful for this cold fever, so that he can
have this opportunity to do something for Xia Zhi Chen.
On the second morning, Li Xiang Wan was awakened by the alarm
clock. He didn't feel a person around him, jumped up immediately and shouted:
"Xia Zhi Chen..."
He didn't see him everywhere, just a note he left - Thank
you, I'm much better.
Xia Zhi Chen didn't expect that someone would be waiting for
him anxiously on the first day when he came back with the cold.
Xu Yang looked around for a long time and finally saw Xia Zhi
Chen coming.
Xu Yang rushed to Xia Zhi Chen, "Hello, my name is Xu
Yang. I want to ask you to help me."
Xia Zhi Chen felt a little surprised and acted like he hadn’t
seen him. He asked tentatively, "Schoolmate, do I know you?"
Xu Yang looked at him seriously. "I know your father is
the president of the school. Could you please give this letter to him?" The
crumpled letter was in his hand.
Xia Zhi Chen didn't think it was a big deal. He declined: “The
school should have relevant programs for you to have the letter reach him."
He pointed to the mailbox over there.
Xu Yang insisted, "If the rules can save me, why would I
look for you?" Xia Zhi Chen took a look at the letter, handed it back, and
hesitated for a moment, "I still don't think it's very proper."
Xu Yang gave his a dead fish look and slapped himself
severely. Xia Zhi Chen can't ignore the sound. It's too harsh for him to just
he turn around and leave.
Xia Zhi Chen stopped his slapping hand and said, “You don't
need to do this, do you?"
"If you saw me being beaten like this, would you want to
stop it? If you will, you will give this letter to your father. "
Xia Zhi Chen was not the kind of person who would not save
someone life if he can, so he took the letter back in silence. At this time, Xu
Yang took a sigh of relief, thanked him and left.
Xia Zhi Chen didn't know how bad things had happened to him,
but decided to help him.
