The girl who had stood up for Jiaojiao yesterday rebutted, “Xu Jiaojiao’s drawings are a hundred times better than yours could ever be. You’re a grown man, yet you pick fights with a little girl every day. Don’t you have anything better to do?”

The two of them bickered as they walked. Xu Jiaojiao followed at the back of the line, neither explaining nor speaking up for herself.

Mr. Sun turned around to look at her a few times. He had a lot of things to say, but in the end, he gave up.

Xu Jiaojiao was unwell the entire day. There was not a single part of her body that was not in pain. Even her eyes were starting to hurt.

She held on until the sun set. Finally, Mr. Sun could not bear to watch anymore and tried to persuade her. “If you aren’t feeling well, go back. Nothing is more important than your health.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Xu Jiaojiao covered her mouth with her hand and coughed a few times. She shook her head stubbornly. “I’m fine, sir.”

Mr. Sun frowned and took the paintbrush from her hand. “Stop drawing. Your complexion is even worse than it was this morning.”

Xu Jiaojiao did not say anything. She no longer had the strength to retort.

“You must have a fever. I’ll bring you back to town for an IV.” Mr. Sun immediately helped her pack her painting tools.

Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to say, “Please just help me buy some cold medicine. I’ll be fine tomorrow after taking the medicine.”

She did not like needles, and she hate the smell of disinfectant in the clinic.

“Alright, then.”

Mr. Sun instructed the rest of the students to focus on their drawings before leading Xu Jiaojiao back.

He first sent Xu Jiaojiao back to her room and urged her to lie down under the covers. Then, he borrowed a thermometer from the inn owner. He was shocked to see that Xu Jiaojiao’s temperature had already reached 38.5 degrees Celsius.

Mr. Sun hurriedly went to the town’s pharmacy to buy fever medicine and boiled hot water for Xu Jiaojiao to take the medicine.

Xu Jiaojiao was persuaded to drink a full cup of hot water, but she still felt groggy. She whispered, “I’ll be fine after a nap, sir. You don’t have to stay here with me.”

True, it was not appropriate for a teacher to stay in a student’s room for too long. Mr. Sun stood up. “Then you should rest. If you need anything, feel free to contact me.”

Xu Jiaojiao had a splitting headache, but she still thanked him politely.

Mr. Sun walked to the door and grabbed the doorknob to pull it open, but he could not open it no matter how hard she tried.

Xu Jiaojiao curled up in her sleeping bag, her eyes filled with confusion.

“There seems to be a problem with the door. I called the innkeeper to open the door.” Mr. Sun took out his phone, but the calls would not go through. He wondered out loud, “Why is there no signal? It was full just now.”

When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she took out her phone and took a look. Her phone was also out of service, and there was no public landline in the room.

In other words, she and Mr. Sun were trapped here in the room. She could not help but frown slightly.

Mr. Sun turned around and comforted her. “Don’t be anxious. When they find out that we’re gone later, they’ll probably come looking for us.”

Xu Jiaojiao replied calmly, “Alright.” However, she knew that if her classmates found Mr. Sun was locked in her room, their reputation would be dragged through the mud forever.

Mr. Sun did not wait idly, either. He tried to knock on the door while shouting for help, but no one answered for more than ten minutes.

Xu Jiaojiao could not help but cough twice. She said in a low and hoarse voice, “Let’s just rest for a bit, sir.”

Mr. Sun sighed helplessly and walked over to the chair to sit down. Perhaps he was worried that Xu Jiaojiao would be afraid of him, or that anyone who discovered them later would misunderstand. Either way, Mr. Sun quietly wrapped his jacket around his body tightly.

Xu Jiaojiao forced herself to sit up. As she looked at the diligent and responsible Mr. Sun, her heart felt warm.

“Teacher, I heard that you’re getting married soon. What does your fiancee do?”

Mr. Sun was holding the glass of water, and he paused for a moment before nodding. “She’s a dance teacher.”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled. “I have a friend who’s also a dance student.” She supposed she would call that person a ‘friend’ for the time being.

“What a coincidence.” Mr. Sun smiled casually. “Luo City is not that big. Perhaps my fiancee even taught your friend.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded. She pressed her hand against her lips and coughed a few times.

Mr.Sun frowned slightly. He wanted to get up and go to the bed, but after hesitating for a moment, he dismissed the thought. “If you’re not feeling well, don’t talk. Close your eyes and rest.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and crawled back under the covers. Her gaze fell on her teacher. “Thank you, sir.

“Thank you for everything you said to me.”

Xu Jiaojiao could not keep her eyes open. Perhaps the cold medicine had taken effect, and she could not fight the drowsiness.

In less than five minutes, she was already sound asleep..
