Chapter 130: The Goth School Heartthrob 28

 

And this time, Liu Shutong had indeed learned from experience.

He was determined not to stop kissing her until the warning bell rang!

Tang Wan: …

For the sake of curing his fear of dogs, my lips are really paying a huge price!

……

After Liu Shutong finally released her, Tang Wan reached up and touched her swollen, reddened lips, glaring at him.

“Look at me now! Anyone can tell I just did something bad! If I get laughed at later, it’ll all be your fault!”

Hearing this, Liu Shutong hurriedly said, “All right, all right, it’s all my fault. You go into the classroom first, and I’ll come in afterward. That way, no one will suspect anything.”

Tang Wan gave him a sidelong glance but didn’t object.

The two of them then returned to the classroom one after the other.

Once she got back to her seat, Tang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Doing something this improper at school really was embarrassing.

Tang Wan had barely entered when Liu Shutong came in right behind her, looking absolutely radiant. The person who entered after him, meanwhile, was the English teacher.

After returning to his seat, Liu Shutong couldn’t help glancing at Tang Wan whenever he thought about the kisses they had just shared. He had absolutely no mind for listening to the lesson.

The teacher gave him a cold look but didn’t bother with him.

In the teacher’s eyes, someone like Liu Shutong was a hopeless case. As long as he didn’t interfere with the other students’ lessons, that was already a good thing.

……

Tang Wan’s ears turned red from being stared at, and she couldn’t help kicking him lightly under the desk.

“Pay attention in class!”

No wonder people said young romance affected academic performance. Why did he have to keep staring at her?

Only then did Liu Shutong let out an “Oh” and open his math textbook.

He had already taught himself all the way through the ninth-grade curriculum. With a little more effort, he would be able to catch up with the second-year high school curriculum.

When the English teacher came around and saw that he was holding a math textbook, she didn’t bother to say anything either.

That showed just how low the teacher’s expectations of Liu Shutong had fallen.

……

A week passed quickly.

Every night, Liu Shutong stayed up studying until three or four in the morning. Eventually, he could no longer hold out and fell ill.

When Tang Wan didn’t see him come to pick her up that morning, she took out her phone and called him.

But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

Tang Wan’s heart sank.

Could something have happened?

There was no way Liu Shutong would deliberately ignore her calls, nor would he fail to come pick her up in the morning without telling her beforehand.

After thinking it over, Tang Wan picked up her schoolbag, got on her bicycle, and hurried toward Liu Shutong’s house.

If it had been anyone else’s home, it would have been rather difficult to find. But Liu Shutong’s family lived at the fertilizer factory, so their home was relatively easy to locate.

After Tang Wan arrived, she knocked on the door, but no one came out.

At that moment, their neighbor came outside and said, “Little girl, are you here looking for someone? The Liu family went to the market. They’re not home.”

“I understand. Thank you, Uncle,” Tang Wan hurriedly replied.

She frowned, then called Liu Shutong again.

Before long, the ringtone of Liu Shutong’s phone came from a small room nearby.

Tang Wan hurried over.

……

She tried pressing down on the door handle, and the door opened easily.

The next moment, she saw Liu Shutong sprawled sideways on the bed, his face flushed red.

Tang Wan hurried forward.

“Tongtong!”

She reached out and touched his forehead. It was burning hot.

Tang Wan immediately helped him move to the middle of the bed and lie down properly. Then she went to the bathroom, soaked a towel in cool water, and placed it on his forehead.

“Little Cutie, do you have any fever medicine?”

Hearing this, Little Cutie quickly replied, “Host, the system doesn’t provide medication. However, there’s a pharmacy nearby. You can go buy some.”

Tang Wan hurried outside, spent ten minutes buying medicine, then returned and gave it to him. Afterward, she used alcohol to wipe down his body to help bring his temperature down.

Her heart ached terribly.

He was already burning with such a high fever, yet no one had even noticed!

If she hadn’t come looking for him, wouldn’t he have really ended up with his brain boiled into mush?!
