The old Chinese doctor's medical skills were indeed good. Xiang Jin only took a meal of Chinese medicine and a meal of Western medicine, and the high fever slowly came down.
Moreover, Yan Chen was always monitoring her. After she took the second dose of medicine at night, she never had repeated attacks until the morning self-study time the next morning. Yan Chen finally felt relieved.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Go and study in the morning," Xiang Jin said, looking at the two boys standing in front of the bed.
Then Yan Chen looked at Yang Hui and said, "Go quickly."
Yang Hui asked, "Aren't you going?"
Yan Chen said, "I asked for two days' leave."
Yang Hui felt a little ashamed. His cousin was sick, and as a cousin, he didn't take much care of her. He still relied on Yan Chen. It was really inappropriate, right?
"Yan Chen, why don't you let me stay and take care of Xiang Jin today, and you go back to the classroom?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was protested by two people at the same time.
"Can't!"
"no!"
Yang Hui looked at them both strangely.
Xiang Jin first explained, "What I mean is that I no longer have a high fever. Don't worry so much and don't waste time for me. Can you all go back to class?"
Yan Chen said, "What I mean is that since you have already asked for leave, you don't need to ask for it again. Besides, my grades are better than yours. Even if I don't go back to the classroom for a few days or a week, my grades will not be affected."
His words were a bit heartbreaking, and Yang Hui was immediately speechless.
After a while, Yang Hui said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Yan Chen's lips curled up slightly, "You're welcome."
Yang Hui left and went to study in the morning. Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "Actually, there is no need for you to stay."
Yan Chen said, "Don't think so wildly. In fact, I took two days off not all because of you. I just wanted to be lazy for two days."
"No, a student like you would want to be lazy," Xiang Jin looked at him with an incredulous expression.
Yan Chen just laughed, "What kind of student am I? What kind of student am I?"
Xiang Jin said, "Very well-behaved, very sensible, and a student who loves to learn."
The smile on Yan Chen's lips widened a little, "Then you are wrong, I am not that kind of well-behaved student."
Xiang Jin looked at him blankly, and Yan Chen said, "The main reason is that their lectures are very boring, and I don't have the pleasure of self-study."
Xiang Jin thought about it. Most of those teachers just followed the textbook and their teaching skills were really not that good. Sometimes she felt like dozing off after listening to some teachers' classes.
"Okay, you have a good rest, I'll make some medicine for you," Yan Chen said and turned around and left the room.
Seeing his leaving figure and the closed door, Xiang Jin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
After a while, Yan Chen came in with a bowl of ginger brown sugar water and asked her to drink it.
Looking at the bowl of ginger brown sugar water, Xiang Jin was surprised, "Did you buy this yesterday?"
Yan Chen said, "I bought it when I went to buy a medicine jar."
Xiang Jin held the bowl and took a sip, "The vegetable market had long been closed at that time. You bought brown sugar along the way. Did you go to the canteen specifically to ask for the ginger?"
Yan Chen felt a little uncomfortable and said, "It's also a way. When I asked him for vegetables, I asked for two pieces of ginger."
Xiang Jin looked at him and smiled, and then asked, "Then the boss didn't ask you what you wanted the ginger for, right?"
Yan Chen said, "I asked, and I answered that it is used to introduce medicine to you."
The smile on Xiang Jin's lips widened further, "That's good!"
Yan Chen took the bowl from her hand, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." After saying that, he bent down slightly, leaned a little closer to her, and looked at her teasingly, "This is between the two of us.
I will never allow a third person to know my secret!"
The sudden handsome face and the slightly hot gas spraying on her cheeks made Xiang Jin's face suddenly turn red. She pulled the quilt and lay on the bed, "I, I, I will sleep a little longer.
Son."
"Go to sleep!" Yan Chen straightened up, turned around and walked out of the room.
But the moment he turned around, the beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth turned up.
At noon the next day, when Xiang Jin had just drank the medicine and was reading a book, Zeng Qing and Luo Qiuyan came.
As soon as he saw her, Zeng Qing couldn't help but hold her hand and said worriedly, "Xiang Jin, what did you do? Why did you catch a cold on yourself?"
Xiang Jin smiled at her, "I don't know what happened but I caught a cold. Why are you here? Don't you have to go home today for a holiday?"
"If I hadn't heard a few of them say you were sick, I wouldn't have known about it. I'll be back later," Zeng Qing said.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, by the way, don't tell my mother and others about this when you go back. They are just anxious if you tell me, and I'm almost healed now."
"Oh, I know!"
Then Xiang Jin turned his attention to the other female classmates in the class, "Why are you here too?"
Luo Qiuyan and the other girls said, "You've been on leave for two days, so we're here to see you. However, Xiang Jin, your illness is quite serious. It's only been two days, and you've already lost a lot of weight."
It’s a circle, and the people look languid and don’t have much energy.”
Xiang Jin reached out and touched his cheek, "Have you lost weight? Why can't I feel it?"
Everyone nodded in unison, "Yeah, I've lost weight. I've obviously lost weight."
He Guizhi said, "Your face is only so big now," and she showed her palm.
Liu Ying nodded and said, "Well, the most eye-catching thing on your face now is your big eyes."
Xiang Jin smiled, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Several people said it was not an exaggeration, not at all.
Luo Qiuyan also said, "If you don't believe me, just ask Yan Chen!"
Then everyone turned sideways and looked behind them, but Yan Chen was nowhere to be seen.
Then Luo Qiuyan said again, "Xiang Jin, when can you go back to the classroom and continue the class?"
Xiang Jin said, "Tomorrow, probably tomorrow."
She no longer has a high fever, her voice is no longer hoarse, and her energy has recovered a lot. She should be able to go back to class tomorrow. Besides, it is very uncomfortable for her to lie down at home every day, and it also delays Yan Chen.
Although he didn't mind the time, she still felt a little sorry.
A few people nodded, and then Liu Ying said, "You go back to the classroom tomorrow, just in time for our joint entrance exam this time."
"The joint entrance examination? The joint entrance examination is coming again?" Xiang Jin was surprised.
A few people nodded, "Well, Teacher Hu said during the self-study last night that it would be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Xiang Jin nodded and Yang Hui didn't even tell them when he came back.
Several female classmates in the class left after staying for a while, but Zeng Qing was still there. She said that she would stay with her for a while to talk and then go back.
Then she took out a scarf from her backpack and handed it to her, "Xiang Jin, this is for you!"
Looking at the water-red knitted scarf, Xiang Jin was surprised, and then refused, "No, no, no, Zeng Qing, I have a scarf. I bought one when I went to see a doctor two days ago. You can wear this yourself."
.”
Zeng Qing thrust the knitted scarf into her hand, "Here, you can wear the two scarves interchangeably, and I knitted one for myself, eh?!" She took it out of her bag again.
I brought out a yellow scarf to show her.
"So fast? How long did it take for you to knit two scarves?"
Zeng Qing said, "It doesn't take long to knit a scarf. I can knit one in two nights."
Xiang Jin reminded, "Don't keep thinking about knitting scarves and delay your studies!"
Zeng Qing said, "Don't worry, there is no delay. Our coursework is not as heavy as yours. Our main subjects are only Chinese and mathematics."
Xiang Jin nodded.
Then Zeng Qing asked, "Oh, by the way, do you have anything you need to bring? I will bring it to you when the time comes."
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "There is nothing I need to bring. Oh, by the way, can you bring some drawings for me and Dengwei's father? Let him help me make some folding tables for beds."
"What little girl?"
Xiang Jin said, "Wait a moment, I'll draw it for you."
Zeng Qing nodded, then Xiang Jin took out a pen and a white notebook, placed two thick books underneath, and then began to draw seriously.
While she was drawing, she explained to her, "Well, it's this kind of simple folding device that's easy to carry. The board doesn't need to be thick or long. It only needs to be able to hold a book and a notebook. It's about a few millimeters."
It's almost as thick as one centimeter.
Isn't it the beginning of winter? I sit in front of the window and do my homework. After a long time, my body gets cold easily.
But with this folding table, I can just sit on the bed while doing my homework. You can ask him to make six or seven for me, and I will go back and get the money for him next week."
Zeng Qing nodded after understanding, "Well, okay, I will definitely bring it to you, but why do you want so many folding small tables?"
Xiang Jin said, "When the time comes, you will be alone, I will be alone, and Yan Chen, Yang Hui, Yang Zhao, and Xiang Lan will also be alone. Oh, of course, the premise is that he must be free. If he is not, then forget it."
Zeng Qing nodded again, "Okay, I understand, but forget it about me. I'll buy it from him myself when the time comes."
Xiang Jin said, "Are you polite to me? Yan Chen and Yang Zhao are not polite to me every time. We are friends, and it is appropriate to give each other gifts."
Zeng Qing felt a little embarrassed when he heard what she said, "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance?"
Xiang Jin said, "Thank you for what you have to do. If he doesn't have time to do it, your thanks will be in vain."
Zeng Qing smiled and said, "Then I still want to thank you. You helped me a lot."
Xiang Jin said, "As I said, we are friends. Friends don't need to be so polite when helping each other. Okay, it's getting late. You should go back early so that your family doesn't have to worry."
Zeng Qing took the drawing from her hand and stood up, "Okay, then you have a good rest. I will come see you tomorrow."
"Um!"
After Zeng Qing left, Yan Chen came in and asked, "What were you talking about? We talked for so long?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's nothing. I just asked her to bring me a drawing for Dengwei's dad and ask him to help us make a folding table that is easy to carry."
"Folding small table?"
"Well, it's that kind of folding table that can be used on the bed. If we have that in the future, when we come back to read our homework at night, we no longer have to sit in front of the desk and get cold. We can just sit on the bed and do it.
These things.”
Yan Chen sighed and said, "Why don't you know how to stop your brain? You are either thinking about this or that every day."
Xiang Jin said, "Why stop? You'll get rusty if you stop. The more you use your brain, the more flexible it becomes."
Yan Chen was so amused that he directly handed her a cup of ginger brown sugar water.
Xiang Jin was no longer as embarrassed and embarrassed as before when facing this matter. She reached out to take it and took a sip, "Just boiled?"
"Yeah! I boiled water just now and boiled it for a while."
Xiang Jin asked, "How about you drink some too to keep yourself warm?"
Yan Chen said, "I don't want to drink, I'm not cold!"
Xiang Jin curled his lips and said, "Oh, pretend!"
Yan Chen directly held her hand, "How about it?"
Xiang Jin was surprised, "Oh, it's true, why are your hands so warm?" Then she turned her head to look at the clothes he was wearing, "You don't wear much thickness at all?"
Yan Chen said, "Because I am a man, and men are full of yang energy, don't you know?"
Xiang Jin curled her lips again and thought to herself, a young man is the only one who can do shit, okay? But she didn't say this out loud, so as not to hurt his self-esteem.
Seeing that she remained silent, Yan Chen urged her, "Drink quickly. If you want to read and study after drinking, just read and study. If you don't read and study, you will just lie in bed."
Xiang Jin said, "Domineering!"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "For your own good!"
Xiang Jin drank the brown sugar water in the cup in one breath, and Yan Chen took the jar and turned around and walked out of the room.
When Xiang Jin returned to the classroom the next day, she found that several people in the class looked at her and Yan Chen strangely, especially monitor Liu Changxing, study committee member Liao Yihong, Zhang Xiaoxia and other students with higher grades.
of.
Well, how should I put it, a bit provocative and a bit gloating!
Xiang Jin felt baffled, so Luo Qiuyan whispered to her, "You have been sick for two days, and Yan Chen took leave to take care of you at home for two days. People think you have delayed two days of classes. This time
You will definitely not get good grades in the test."
Xiang Jin snorted, "Who cares?!"
Luo Qiuyan said, "You don't care, but others do. You don't know that in the past two days when you were not in class, they have learned a lot from their recent studies, and the teacher was very high-spirited when he whipped them up to answer questions in class.
If you don’t get good grades this time, won’t others have a chance?”
Xiang Jin was speechless, "Is the ranking that important?"
Luo Qiuyan nodded, "Yes, you two have rounded up the top one and two in our entire third grade, beating those who thought they were the proud ones many times, it was not easy.
It's your turn to be sick, and Yan Chen also took two days off to take care of you, so why don't they seize the opportunity to climb over your two mountains and trample you under their feet?"
Xiang Jin looked at her sideways, "Are you exaggerating?"
Luo Qiuyan said, "It's really not an exaggeration. That's why I'm telling you. Someone in our class has secretly set up a bet to see if you can continue to be among the top one or two in your grade this time."
Xiang Jin asked, "What is the lottery?"
Luo Qiuyan said, "Each person pays two homework books, plus five yuan. Let me tell you that the three people in our dormitory are all because of you and Yan Chen. Do you have to give us a fight?"
At this point, she winked at Xiang Jin and said, "You will get half of what you get then."
Xiang Jin was dumbfounded, but when he heard about the money, he asked, "Who in your dormitory is involved?"
Luo Qiuyan said, "Who else? Just me and Liu Ying, and He Guizhi."
Xiang Jin asked again, "How many people are participating in the class?"
Luo Qiuyan said, "About fifty or sixty percent of the people, right?"
Xiang Jin thought to himself, with only half of the people, the chances of winning were not very high. At most, it would only be a hundred or two hundred yuan.
Luo Qiuyan grabbed her arm and said, "Let me tell you, you must not lose. I took half of my pocket money to buy you a win. Can't you let us down?"
Xiang Jin said, "We'll try our best!"
Luo Qiuyan said, "It's not that you have to try your best, but that you have to be certain. You must control one or two."
Xiang Jin said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, let's fight for it!"
Luo Qiuyan then said, "Hey, Xiang Jin, why don't you all come and participate?"
"Are we participating?" Xiang Jin frowned and looked at her.
Luo Qiuyan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, you also participate. If you win, you can also get a share of the books and money."
Xiang Jin groped her chin and considered the feasibility of this plan. While she was still weighing whether it was worth it to make another bet for such a small amount of money, she heard a few boys in the back row.
He shouted, "Oh oh oh, come on, come on, Yan Chen bets twenty yuan to stop him and Xiang Jin from winning!"
She looked towards the source of the sound and saw someone saying "Wow", "What a big deal!"
"Isn't that right? Others invested five yuan, but he actually invested twenty yuan. How confident are you?!"
Then I heard Fan Wenlong look at Liu Changxing and Liao Yihong with a sarcastic look on his face and say, "I say squad leader, study committee member, do you want to increase your bets? Look at how confident they are!"
When Liu Changxing and Liao Yihong heard this, their faces darkened immediately. Just as they were hesitating, Xiang Jin also said, "I'll bet twenty too, so that Yan Chen and I can win." After that, they took out two coins from their pockets.
I asked my classmates to give the money to Fan Wenlong for ten yuan.
Then Fan Wenlong screamed "Ouch", "Xiang Jin also bet twenty?! Oh, this is indeed a confident person. Look how confident he is with this bet!"
Many people looked at Liu Changxing and Liao Yihong at the same time. The two were not convinced, and finally took out another fifteen yuan and said that they would also bet twenty.
Seeing that they had increased their bets, many people also followed suit, including Zhang Xiaoxia, who also gritted her teeth and tied the score by twenty yuan.
Then Fan Wenlong said, "Everyone, please take your time and come one by one. Luo Guangyang, have you remembered it? Don't forget to remember it?"
Then Luo Guangyang said, "I'm remembering it, I'm remembering it, don't worry, I won't miss it!"
After a while, Wan Wenlong received a lot of money in his hand. Seeing this, Xiang Jin showed a playful smile, and then took out thirty yuan from his pocket again, "I
Add another thirty, making a total of fifty bets. If I win, I will receive ten times my bet back."
"Wow, this is such a big deal!" Someone followed and exclaimed.
Then some people did not dare to place bets anymore, but some people became excited again, and some who had not yet placed bets started to place bets.
Wan Wenlong said, "Then I'll add twenty more!" Then he took out twenty yuan from his pocket and came forward. In front of everyone, he said to Luo Guangyang, "Look, remember,
Remember, I bet a total of twenty-five yuan!"
The expressions on the faces of Liu Changxing and Liao Yihong suddenly became so dark that they were almost as dark as the bottom of the pot.
When Yan Chen saw it, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth. Then he took out another thirty dollars from his pocket and said, "Okay, I'll bet fifty dollars in total too."
Everyone was in an uproar again, but no one dared to be as equal as the two of them. Liu Changxing, Liao Yihong and other people who were usually dissatisfied with Xiang Jin and Yan Chen also tried their best to express their dissatisfaction with Xiang Jin and Yan Chen.
I gave up after the land was increased to thirty yuan.
After Wan Wenlong quickly counted the money in his hand, he said to everyone in the class, "No one is betting anymore. If no one is betting, then I will announce what I have collected here."
Haha, I have received a total of 735 yuan here. When the time comes, the money will be returned to the winning students in proportion to the bets?"
Everyone just said yes.
A few minutes later, the class bell rang, several invigilators came in one after another with a stack of test papers, and then the exam began.
Two days later, Luo Qiuyan took Xiang Jin's hand and said with joy, "Xiang Jin, Xiang Jin, you are so awesome, we won, we won!"
Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Well, I won!"
Luo Qiuyan took her hand and kept saying, "Oh, I'm so happy. Let me tell you, if I didn't have a lot of money at the time, I would have added more bets."
Xiang Jin asked, "How much did you win this time?"
Then Luo Qiuyan said, "Six big books, twenty yuan."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Very good, very good!"
Luo Qiuyan said with joy on her face, "Well, I feel quite satisfied too. In two days, I gained an extra twenty yuan in pocket money. Oh, by the way, you and Yan Chen have several hundred dollars, right?"
"Yeah," Xiang Jin didn't hide anything and nodded directly. After all, this was something that could be calculated.
Luo Qiuyan sighed with envy, "It would be better if you injected more capital back then."
Xiang Jin said, "This is all the credit of Fan Wenlong and the others." If he hadn't later invited someone from Class 1 and Class 2 to bet together, she and Yan Chen wouldn't have earned four hundred each.
Many dollars.
I have to say that although these guys are not very good at reading, their brains are still very active at critical times. Xiang Jin thought to himself that if these guys are serious about doing business in the future, they should be pretty good.
Luo Qiuyan nodded, "Well, yes, he has a share of the credit, but more importantly, it's all thanks to yourselves. If you two weren't so good, how could we have won?"
Xiang Jin nodded immodestly, "That's true," if the two of them didn't do their best, then the two of them would lose fifty yuan.
At this moment, He Guizhi ran over to them and winked at them to tell them to look over there. Then the two of them followed her eyes and saw that Liu Changxing, Liao Yihong and others were all
A dark and unhappy look on his face.
Then Luo Qiuyan said angrily, "What's wrong with positioning yourself too high and not being as skilled as others?"
Then He Guizhi also said, "It's just that in normal exams, you have beaten them by a lot, and you don't know it? You are so self-righteous that you can catch up with you after just two days of leave and two days of classes. It's simply blind."
Arrogant, this is really a slap in the face, you have lost your wife and lost your troops!"
Xiang Jin smiled coquettishly and said, "You can't say that. Nothing is absolute, and learning is no exception. It is normal for us to be overtaken by others."
Zhang Xiaoxia turned around and gave them a look, then said sarcastically, "Hypocrisy!"
There was a touch of sarcasm on Xiang Jin's lips, and he looked at her and said, "Don't bet if you can't afford to lose. Since you've lost, you should admit it!"
The students in the classroom all looked at them again.
"You?" Zhang Xiaoxia glared at her angrily.
Xiang Jin said, "What are you doing? I know you are willing to accept it. Even though I was sick and delayed two days of study, my final exam results were still ahead of yours. If you are not willing to accept it, I will accidentally lose it."
I made a few hundred yuan, and then almost a few months of living expenses were paid again, but so what? You made this bet, not me, and now you are acting so hypocritically, and you are so bitter towards me.
What does it mean?"
"You? Xiang Jin, don't be so proud!" Xiaoxia's face suddenly turned ferocious.
Xiang Jin glanced at her lazily, "Proud? I've never been proud of my studies, but I'm really proud of the money I made today. There's nothing more proud in the world than making money. When I make money, I feel proud.
You can buy delicious food, drink, and beautiful clothes. Since you are not willing to give in, you can bet again next time. I am optimistic about you, so there is no need for you not to be optimistic about yourself, right?"
"You? Xiang Jin, why are you so annoying?!" Zhang Xiaoxia was so angry at Xiang Jin that she was gnashing her teeth, wishing to poke holes in her body.
Xiang Jin said, "To each other, each other, but I definitely have more good popularity cards than you."
"That's right, Zhang Xiaoxia, don't you dare to gamble and lose? Let me make it clear first, the money I earned this time will not be refunded to you," at this moment, Fan Wenlong continued.
"That's right, that's right, no retreat, no retreat! I'm willing to admit defeat!" Several other students who also placed large bets and won this time also shouted.
After Zhang Xiaoxia glared at Xiang Jin, she then looked at the other people around her. When she saw the expressions of disdain or gloating in everyone's eyes, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her hair suddenly turned red.
With a sudden shake, he turned around and lay on the desk, crying sadly.
"Tch," Xiang Jin curled his lips, then gave her a cold side glance without bothering to speak any more.
Yan Chen saw her looking lively and high-spirited again, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
