465: You’re Really Good at Pretending

You’re Really Good at Pretending

Gu Chen wanted to continue teasing Huo Jinyan, but his phone suddenly rang.1

He glanced at the caller ID on his cell phone but did not pick up; he simply hung up first.

He turned to look at Huo Jinyan.

"Are you here today to look for Ning'ning?"

Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment before answering honestly, "Yes."

"She came an hour before you, and left after I changed her dressing."

Huo Jinyan turned towards him.

"Call her if you want to see her."

It was not difficult for Gu Chen to tell that there was something going on between the two of them. If both of them did not take the initiative to contact each other, there would be problems in their relationship sooner or later.

Huo Jinyan did not say anything else. From the looks of it, Gu Chen must have something on, so he bade farewell.

Gu Chen sent him to the door. As he turned around, he took out his phone to make a call.

Li Nian was frozen for a long time before picking it up.

"Doctor Gu."

Gu Chen sat in his chair and looked at the report on the table with a frown.

"Yes."

"I'd like to ask if the report's out yet."

Gu Chen did not answer directly. He only said, "I'll bring it to school tomorrow. Meet me at the infirmary."

Li Nian nodded. "Okay, thank you."

After hanging up, Li Nian had just put down her phone when she suddenly felt dizzy. All the blood in her body seemed to have turned cold. She hurriedly grabbed the corner of the table to stabilize herself so that she would not fall.

When she felt a little better, she fumbled for the medicine on the table. There were five or six pills of different colors in a transparent medicine box. Li Nian poured the pills into her palm and was about to imbibe them when she was suddenly pushed by a strong force. She fell to the ground on her side, the medicine in her palm spilling out.

She was still in a daze, her mind was a little blank. Only the pain from her fall made her come to her senses.

She heard a mocking voice. "I only pushed you gently. Why are you pretending to be so weak?"

Li Nian's dizziness had yet to completely fade. She slowly stood up with her hand on the ground, patting the dust off her clothes. Her expression was a little numb, as if this had happened more than once or twice.

"What's going on?"

A female voice came from outside.

"Who knows? She fell on her own while standing."

Standing by the table was a boy. He was 1.8 meters tall and looked to be only 16 or 17 years old. He was drinking from a cup as he looked at Li Nian with undisguised mockery.

Li Nian did not say a word. Listening to the footsteps behind her, she silently bent down to pick the pills up on the ground.

"You dropped it again? You dropped it again!? Are you trying to anger me to death? You think this medicine comes cheap?! You can't even hold some medicine properly? Are you made of paper?!"

Her irritable scolding wormed into Li Nian's ears as she picked up all the medicine in silence and slowly got up. The moment she stood up, her body swayed. She hurriedly grabbed the door frame beside her.

Looking at her, a sneer came from behind. "You're really good at pretending."

"Eat them! You'd better eat them! Eat them even if they fall to the ground! See if you won't hold them properly! See if you dare to drop them again next time!"

The woman pinched Li Nian's body multiple times painfully. Then, she even grabbed her hand and forced her to take the medicine she had just picked up.

Li Nian did not speak or resist the entire time until the woman pulled her hand and forced her to take the medicine. However, no matter how hard she struggled, she could not win against the boy beside her.
