Tang Lin was getting anxious. He thought, ‘How could such an unfortunate incident happen at such a crucial moment?’
Tang Lin frowned and asked, “But we’re in the middle of an exam right now. What can 1 do to help you? Would drinking hot water help?”
Rong Feiyu shook her head weakly and said, “I’m afraid not. Can I request to go back to the cla.s.sroom for a rest? It’s really bad, I’m sorry.”
Both Tang Lin and Qiu Yonggen instinctively looked at Jian Yunzhou.
Rong Feiyu also looked at Jian Yunzhou expectantly. She thought if she didn’t have to take the exam now, she could still join He Jinghan and Su Yifan being part of the Academic Research Society without having to take this entrance test.
Rong Feiyu’s mind was running wild with many plans.
Jian Yunzhou nodded and kindly said, “Everyone experiences discomfort from time to time. If Rong Feiyu is feeling unwell, it’s best to rest. Health is more important.”
Everyone in the office, except for Rong Qi and He Jinghan, was pleased to hear that. However, just as Rong Feiyu was about to express her grat.i.tude to Jian Yunzhou, he spoke again, “If you don’t take the entrance test, it will be considered as forfeiting the opportunity to enter the Academic and Research Society. Time waits for no one.”
With a grinding halt, Jian Yunzhou’s words echoed in the room, and Rong Feiyu’s face turned pale.
Rong Feiyu clenched her lips tightly, sat in her seat, and looked like she was trying to endure her grief and humiliation. She was aware of the disappointed look in Tang Lin’s eyes.
Tang Lin said, “Rong Feiyu, can you hold on a little longer? We’ve come this far; it’s a pity to give up now.”
‘1 understood that reasoning perfectly! But if I took the exam and didn’t perform well, it would reveal my incapabilities.’ Rong Feiyu thought.
Rong Feiyu couldn’t help but sit down and gaze at Tang Lin weakly. She said, “Mr. Tang, could you get me some pain relievers? I’d like to continue with the exam and I won’t give up halfway.”
When Rong Feiyu said that, her eyes flashed with determination. In her mind, she thought, ‘If 1 didn’t perform well in the exam, it was not because of my incapabilities but rather the stomachache that caused me unable to focus on the exam. That way, no one would suspect me! After all, who would pretend to be sick and still want to take medicine?’
Tang Lin was indeed deceived and nodded in satisfaction. He said, “Alright, I’ll go get some pain relievers for you. Please hold on a bit longer.”
Rong Feiyu nodded gratefully.
However, before Tang Lin could turn to leave, Rong Qi, who was doing the test nearby, suddenly raised her head and fished out two pills from her pocket. She tossed them over to Rong Feiyu.
“It’s ibuprofen. I happen to have some. You don’t need to trouble Mr. Tang to go fetch them,” Rong Qi said.
Shocked, Rong Feiyu suddenly turned and glared at Rong Qi.
Rong Qi smiled innocently and said, “No need to thank me. These were given to me by He Jinghan last time. Consider it a favor returned to you guys.”
‘Given by He Jinghan?’ Both Rong Feiyu and Tang Lin were shocked.
He Jinghan nodded to confirm that it was true.
If the medicine had been given by Rong Qi, Rong Feiyu could have found reasons to decline. But if it was tied to He Jinghan, a student with an impeccable academic record, Rong Feiyu had nothing to say.
No matter what, He Jinghan had always been liked by various subject teachers for his excellent grades, and he remained low-key, never seeking the limelight. He had always been seen as a model student by everyone.
Tang Lin, unaware of Rong Feiyu’s inner thoughts, immediately went to get a cup of hot water and handed it to her, instructing her to take the medicine.
Rong Feiyu was so frustrated that she felt like cursing. However, in front of everyone, she couldn’t pretend to be sick anymore and could only hold the medicine in her hand, her eyes welling up with tears. Those tears were real this time.
Rong Qi was quite pleased with herself for pulling this off. However, her smile caught the attention of Tang Lin and the others..
