However, she couldn"t control herself. Her heart was really in pain. It was so painful!
She didn"t blame anyone, she just felt her heart clench in pain, and a kind of inexplicable despair and sadness gripped her whole body, making her want to cry.
That night, Duan Shuxian lost sleep. She closed her eyes, and the scene of her meeting Xi Jingchen appeared on the bookshelf, where he kissed her. She didn"t even have time to think about what kind of kiss it was. But now, she didn"t even need to think about it.
That kiss would not have any meaning. Perhaps it was just for that moment, he wanted to kiss a girl, she was by his side.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips as she sobbed. She was so tired from crying that she fell into a deep slumber. However, her sleep was extremely unstable.
Early in the morning, when she opened her eyes, they were so dry and swollen that her vision seemed to blur. She thought vaguely that today was Tuesday, and she also thought that she hadn"t used her vacation since then.
Duan Shu Xian caressed her slightly burning forehead. It seemed as though she had a fever. She suddenly wanted to take a day off from work to rest at home.
She pushed the door open and came out. Li Yu was packing her bag as he prepared to leave.
"Shu Xian, your dad is waiting for you downstairs, hurry up and go down!"
"Mom, can you tell dad that I"m not going to work today?"
"What"s wrong? Is there something wrong with you? " Li Yu immediately looked over with concern.
Duan Shu Xian shook her head. "No, it"s just that I haven"t had a leave of absence for too long. I want to give myself a day off."
Li Yu didn"t notice that her daughter was having a low fever. Duan Shu Xian looked like she didn"t sleep well, and asked with a pained heart, "Was it because I was too tired from reading the doc.u.ments last night? "You can"t stay up late like this next time, your eyes are already red."
"Hm!" I know, Mom, you tell Dad! I"ll take care of myself when I"m alone at home, so you don"t have to worry about me. " Duan Shu Xian wanted a quiet day.
"Alright, rest and drink more water. I"ll bring you breakfast later."
"Thank you, Mom."
After a while, Li Yu brought her breakfast, and she went back down. She told her husband that she wanted to take a leave of absence, and Li Desming probably knew the reason behind it. He hoped that she would rest at home for a while.
Duan Shu Xian looked at her breakfast but didn"t have much appet.i.te. She touched her forehead with her hand and felt a slight fever. She drank two cups of hot water and didn"t know what to do.
She made a call to Auntie Huang. In order to ask for leave, she could only say that she was feeling unwell and wanted to take a day off.
Auntie Huang also understood her. From work until now, she had never taken a day off from work, so even if she was feeling unwell, she would not mind.
Duan Shu Xian walked to the sofa and continued sleeping with a thin blanket in her arms.
Around 8: 30 AM in the morning in school, a tall and slender figure walked out from the entrance of the library as usual. It was as if his appearance had become inevitable at this moment.
Auntie Huang looked at Teacher Xi who was walking over and couldn"t help but take a few extra glances. Even though he was very old, he felt that his mood was very good seeing such a handsome young man. Auntie Huang, is Shu Xian here? " Xi Jingchen immediately asked.
"Oh!" "Shu Xian didn"t come today, she applied for leave."
Xi Jingchen"s beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed, "Why did she ask for leave?"
"She said she wasn"t feeling well and wanted to rest at home for the day."
"What"s wrong with her?" Xi Jingchen could not help but ask worriedly.
The Auntie Huang heard Duan Shu Xian"s voice on the phone just now and felt weak. She thought about it and said, "He must be sick! I think there"s been flu lately. "
Xi Jingchen had already investigated Duan Shu Xian"s family background and at the same time, had found out about her mother"s occupation. She was the boss of florist, so at this time, was she taking care of her daughter?
"Is she alone?" Xi Jingchen asked the Auntie Huang.
Although Auntie Huang was a little strange, she just happened to ask Duan Shu Xian about it. She said that she would rest at home alone, so she answered, "Yes, she"s at home alone! Teacher Xi, do you want to visit her? "
Xi Jingchen pursed his lips and smiled, but did not reply. He turned around and walked out of the library, towards his office.
He adjusted the time for the cla.s.s. Originally, it was 10: 30, but he would be able to finish the one hour cla.s.s at 10: 30 at most.
Around 10: 30, Xi Jingchen walked out from the side door of the cla.s.sroom with a bunch of female students admiring his elegance.
"Have you guys noticed that Teacher Xi seems to have been distracted several times today? Does he have something on his mind?" A female cla.s.smate had discovered it very keenly.
All of Xi Jingchen"s words and actions had been noticed by these girls, and even if there was a change in his expression, it was still engraved in his heart.
"That"s right!" I noticed it too. "
"Could it be that he"s thinking of the one he loves?!"
While the few girls were gossiping, Xi Jingchen"s figure had already disappeared to the other side of the corridor.
He put down the book, glanced at the wrist watch, then picked it up and went out.
When Xi Jingchen"s figure appeared in the car park, his bodyguards immediately rushed over from all directions. Xi Jingchen sat in the car and dialed Chief Bodyguard"s number, "I want to go to a place."
"Young Master, where are you going?" Chief Bodyguard immediately asked.
"I want to go to Duan Shu Xian"s house, let"s go now." Xi Jingchen wanted to see her. If she was sick and was at home alone, he wouldn"t be at ease.
"Young Master, you need to keep your distance from Miss Duan." The bodyguard reminded.
Xi Jingchen"s gentle face instantly darkened, "All you need to do is do your job, I know what I"m doing."
With that, Xi Jingchen"s car drove away from his position, and the bodyguard"s car immediately followed closely behind. In the direction of a red and green light at the entrance of the school, Xi Jingchen"s convoy would drive towards the left, and at another intersection not far away, Duan Shumin"s car was driving towards the school entrance.
She knew that Xi Jingchen"s cla.s.s was at ten o"clock, and she had specially come here to witness his teaching style, and also to create an encounter after he finished his cla.s.s, to interact more with him and increase their relations.h.i.+p.
However, what she didn"t know was that the man she was looking for had already left the school.
Xi Jingchen entered the location of Duan Shu Xian"s home. He knew everything about her like the back of his hand, it would be easy to find her.
Duan Shu Xian"s fever was also gradually rising to a boiling hot temperature. However, while she was sleeping, she didn"t know how she had burnt herself. She only slept unstably, her face red like cooked shrimp, giving off a warm feeling.
At that moment, a black car, under the protection of four different cars, quickly drove to the car park beside the residential area. Since Xi Jingchen did not want to enter the residential area, he pushed open the door and got out.
