189: Chapter 190: Controlling the Virus 189: Chapter 190: Controlling the Virus Acute upper respiratory tract infection refers to acute inflammation of the nasal cavity, pharynx, or larynx, and is the most common infectious disease of the respiratory tract. The common cause is a viral infection, with a few cases caused by bacteria, and it can be transmitted through droplets containing the virus or contaminated utensils. Most cases are sporadic, often becoming prevalent when the weather changes suddenly. The human body is easily susceptible to it when chilled, rained on, or excessively fatigued, especially in the elderly, the young, or those with chronic respiratory illnesses. Clinically, the main symptoms are coughing and expectoration. The condition is generally not severe but often leads to secondary bronchitis, pneumonia, myocarditis, and other complications. It can also trigger acute attacks of existing conditions, such as chronic bronchitis or pulmonary heart disease. This disease is known as a “cold” in traditional Chinese medicine, which believes it is caused by the body being invaded by wind evil or epidemic toxins, leading to disharmony of the lung and defense system. The main symptoms are nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache, coughing, chills, fever, and general discomfort. Depending on the severity of the condition, a mild case is generally referred to as a “cold,” while a severe case is called a “strong cold.” If the condition is severe and widespread within a short period, affecting people of all ages with similar symptoms, it is called an “epidemic cold.” Zhang Wei had previously suffered from severe insomnia and then narcolepsy, and before he had recovered, he suddenly caught a cold, and it seemed quite serious. However, to say that Zhang Wei’s physique was poor was definitely impossible. Previously, Zhang Wei often played basketball and soccer. He ran every morning. His physique was quite good, except for showing symptoms of kidney deficiency due to frequenting hotels for women. In other respects, he had no issues. “Doctor, my son is about to take the college entrance exam. I hope you can cure him as soon as possible,” Liu Ying said. Because of the recent incidents and how poorly Zhang Wei did in the mock exam, Liu Ying was really worried about her son’s future in the college entrance exam. “I understand, I will try my best. This disease is not difficult to treat, just take the medicine on time,” To help Zhang Wei recover quickly, the attending physician decided to have him stay in the hospital for treatment. After Liu Ying handled Zhang Wei’s admission procedures, a female nurse began administering intravenous treatment for his cold. While Zhang Wei was in the hospital ward, Liu Ying picked up her mobile phone and called Li Molian. When the call connected quickly, she asked, “Miss Liu, how is Zhang Wei’s condition?” Last night when they were in study hall, she had seen Zhang Wei, but she was disappointed to find that he only came to the classroom to sleep. She no longer had much hope for Zhang Wei. “Ms. Li, it’s like this: Xiao Wei has suddenly caught a cold and fever, and he’s now hospitalized at Jinling People’s Hospital to recuperate. He might need to take some time off,” When Li Molian heard that Zhang Wei had caught a cold, she immediately thought of the other students in the class, and since this disease was highly contagious, she felt it was best for Zhang Wei to stay in the hospital to recuperate and return to school for revision once fully recovered. “Miss Liu, just let Zhang Wei recuperate in the hospital in peace. He can come back to review whenever he has fully recovered.” When Liu Ying finished her phone call with Li Molian, she sensed a noticeable difference in her tone. This tone made Liu Ying feel that Li Molian was treating Zhang Wei like an ordinary student. It was obvious that in the past, Li Molian had used this tone to deal with ordinary students and their parents. Liu Ying sighed, unable to comprehend why her son had been encountering a series of misfortunes recently. Moreover, these incidents started happening after he had beaten up Ye Qiu. Could this be retribution? Liu Ying didn’t believe it. She thought it was just childish behavior. After finishing the phone call, Li Molian hurried back to the classroom, went up to the podium, and said to the students, “Just now, Zhang Wei’s mother called to say that Zhang Wei suddenly caught a cold and is hospitalized, so I hope everyone takes care of their health during this time. Don’t end up like Zhang Wei. If anyone feels unwell, go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to prevent spreading the illness to other classmates.” When Li Molian briefly explained the situation, the classmates felt that Zhang Wei had been acting strange lately, constantly appearing unwell, and either sleeping or looking lethargic when he came to school. Now, Zhang Wei’s four followers and his deskmate were somewhat concerned. They were in close contact with Zhang Wei; could they have been infected? Ye Qiu sat there, looking at Zhang Wei’s empty seat, seemingly deep in thought. From this point on, he knew he could validate his control over medical skills and diseases. Because Zhang Wei’s sudden cold was caused by Ye Qiu. And aside from himself, no one else knew this. Su Luoluo noticed Ye Qiu glancing at Zhang Wei’s seat, then looked at him and asked, “What are you thinking about?” “Nothing,” Ye Qiu replied coldly. “Are you gloating over his misfortune?” “No need.” Ye Qiu was clear that Zhang Wei’s situation was caused by him. Su Luoluo didn’t know what Ye Qiu was thinking, but she felt that Ye Qiu didn’t take Zhang Wei seriously anymore. Previously, Ye Qiu had beaten Zhang Wei in the boys’ restroom and forced him to eat feces. Now, it was the same. Su Luoluo felt that Ye Qiu had changed a lot, but she couldn’t understand how a person could change so much in such a short time. After Li Molian left the classroom, when Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming looked over, Ye Qiu didn’t stay any longer. Su Luoluo had initially wanted to ask Ye Qiu about math and general studies, but now Ye Qiu had already gone out to play with those two. This time, in the joint mock exam, Ye Qiu scored full marks in all subjects except for losing one point in the Chinese composition. Thus, his total score was only short by one point. Then there was Liu Lingxiu, who also did very well this time, improving by fifty or sixty points compared to the previous joint exam. Based on her current scores, she had a good chance of getting into one of the top ten universities in the country. As for Su Luoluo, her scores were actually not bad, similar to the joint exam, but compared to Ye Qiu and even Liu Lingxiu, she seemed much less impressive. Su Luoluo looked at Liu Lingxiu, who was sitting at the front quietly reading a book, and thought that she wasn’t as outstanding as she had imagined. Ye Qiu and Li Shen left the classroom and headed to the Sina Internet Café. After entering the Sina Internet Café, the three found three adjacent computers, logged into the website, and opened the “Monster Continent” client. Just as they logged in, Ye Qiu found that the “Angry Little Loli” was not online, indicating that she was probably either in class or doing something else.
