149: Chapter 149: Can’t Sleep 149: Chapter 149: Can’t Sleep Su Luoluo had already closed her eyes, thinking Ye Qiu would kiss her. But when she opened her eyes, she found that Ye Qiu was already preparing to leave the rooftop. Just now, Ye Qiu had absorbed the accumulated frustration in her body, and Su Luoluo felt much better because of it. How did he do it? Su Luoluo didn’t know. However, last time, when Ye Qiu was treating Zhou Bao, his cancer cells completely disappeared. As Su Luoluo followed him downstairs, Ye Qiu locked the iron door and returned the key to Li Shen. Su Luoluo recalled the earlier scene, feeling both warm and shy. She knew she had misunderstood his intentions. Liu Lingxiu was reading a book at her seat. She didn’t know what Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo had just gone out to do, but thinking of their past relationship, she still felt a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis was even stronger than when Ye Qiu was with Li Qianqian. During the third class in the afternoon, Su Luoluo sat there cradling her chin, looking at Ye Qiu like a girl experiencing her first love. Ye Qiu knew Su Luoluo was watching him, but he ignored her. Halfway through the third class, the homeroom teacher, Li Molian, came in with the Chinese test papers from this month’s exam. The difficulty of this month’s exam was the lowest, designed to help those students who had failed the joint exam regain some confidence. So the overall results of this month’s exam were the best ever. However, Ye Qiu, Zhang Wei, and his four followers did not take the exam. When Li Molian entered the classroom and saw Ye Qiu sitting there, she was finally relieved. As for Zhang Wei, who had taken a leave of absence just after arriving at school, Li Molian was not as concerned about him as she used to be. “Class, these are the Chinese test papers from this month’s exam. Overall, the results are the best so far. I’ll call out the names; come up and get your paper yourself.” “Liu Lingxiu, 143 points.” Li Molian called out. Liu Lingxiu was surprised; it was the first time her Chinese score had surpassed 140 points. Of course, she knew this test was not difficult, and losing a few points must have been because of the reading and composition sections. As Liu Lingxiu went up to get her paper, Li Molian called out again, “Su Luoluo, 137 points.” Su Luoluo hadn’t expected that her score would be much higher than Liu Lingxiu’s this time. She was surprised that even in her strongest subject, Chinese, she fell a few points behind Liu Lingxiu. If it were other subjects, except for English, it would be even more difficult to surpass her. Liu Lingxiu smiled at Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu smiled back at her. Su Luoluo, feeling a bit dejected as she walked to the platform, heard Li Molian say, “Su Luoluo, you did well this time, but your composition wasn’t strong enough. Spend more time on writing compositions.” Su Luoluo nodded, realizing that her composition had been docked ten points. No wonder Liu Lingxiu outperformed her this time. She decided she really needed to read more perfect-score compositions and write more practice ones. As the other students received their papers, it turned out that 80% of them had passed, with only Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming scoring around 40 or 50 points. However, Ye Qiu didn’t take the exam, and the other students weren’t sure of his situation. If compared to the joint exams, Ye Qiu would likely still be the top scorer in this month’s exam. “Overall, the results are good. If you perform like this in the college entrance exam, many of you should get into your desired universities. Now, let’s go over the exam questions.” As Li Molian started discussing the questions, Ye Qiu continued with his own tasks. Su Luoluo leaned closer to him, asking quietly, “Can you help me see where I went wrong?” She was doing it intentionally. Ye Qiu glanced at her but didn’t respond. Seeing Su Luoluo’s hopeful gaze again, Ye Qiu looked toward Liu Lingxiu, which made Su Luoluo furious. She could only sit there, bored, listening to Li Molian’s explanations. By the end of the third class in the afternoon, Li Molian had almost finished going over the small questions, leaving only the reading and composition sections. Whether or not these were covered didn’t matter much, since each exam differed. The key was to improve their own learning abilities. After class, when Li Molian left the room, Liu Lingxiu happily ran over to stand beside Ye Qiu. “Lingxiu, looks like your results were pretty good this time!” Ye Qiu said. “The difficulty was much lower than the joint exam, so that’s why I did well.” Liu Lingxiu replied with a smile. Su Luoluo didn’t say anything. When she got up to leave the classroom, Liu Lingxiu sat in Su Luoluo’s seat and asked, “Where did you go during the last class?” “To the rooftop. She wasn’t feeling well, so I helped treat her.” “What was wrong with her?” Liu Lingxiu asked curiously. “She had a lot of pent-up frustration inside, so I just extracted it for her.” Hearing this, Liu Lingxiu finally understood. Thinking it over, she somewhat understood Su Luoluo’s feelings, but who could blame her for not valuing what she had? When the fourth class started, Liu Lingxiu returned to her seat. Su Luoluo came in from the hallway, saw that her seat was still warm, and knew that Liu Lingxiu had just been sitting there. Su Luoluo picked up two books to put on the seat before sitting down again. Zhang Wei, who had taken a leave of absence, returned to his room at home. He thought it would be peaceful there and that he would fall asleep once he lay down. But he found that even though it was quiet inside and outside his room, he couldn’t sleep. He lay there for a long time with his eyes closed but couldn’t fall asleep. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. The excitement from taking drugs had worn off after a day and a night. Now he just wanted his brain to rest and to get a good sleep, but he couldn’t fall asleep at all. Tossing and turning without being able to sleep, Zhang Wei got up to find something to eat and drink, then lay back down but still couldn’t sleep. His eyes felt dry, his head hurt, and he felt like he was losing his mind. If this continued, Zhang Wei felt he would go mad! Since his parents weren’t home yet, and he knew he couldn’t sleep, he decided to go to the pharmacy to see what medication might help. Outside, he found a pharmacy and explained his condition to the pharmacist, who suggested he visit the hospital first and then come back for the medication. After all, sleeping pills and similar medications required a doctor’s prescription. The pharmacy couldn’t sell them without a signed prescription, to avoid being held accountable if a customer overdosed and committed suicide. Zhang Wei had no choice but to call his mother, Liu Ying. Over the phone, he told her that he was in great distress because he wanted to sleep but couldn’t, and that he wanted to go to the hospital to see a doctor.
