Chapter 159: Let Me Help Apply for Leave

Wang Yunmei looked at her daughter’s serious expression and nodded. “Alright, Mom will wait for you at the hospital at noon.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t forget to reveal a comforting smile.

At that moment, Wang Yunmei did not have much hope that doctors would treat her illness. Even the doctor said that with the current medical technology in the country, they would at most extend her lifespan with chemotherapy for some time.

However, facing her daughter, Wang Yunmei knew that she had to be strong and optimistic. She could lose hope in her heart, but she had to let her daughter see that she had not given up. If the day came that she left, then she would not have any regrets.

The smart Jian Ai could tell that her mother was forcing a smile. No one could still talk and laugh after knowing that they had cancer. Her mother’s optimism was just to make her feel better.

Her heart ached slightly, but Jian Ai did not show it. Instead, she could only secretly rejoice that she had Xiao Zhen.

As soon as she entered the class, Jian Ai saw Lin Yi’s empty seat. She should have taken time to visit him at the hospital yesterday afternoon, but she had no choice as she had scheduled a meeting with the company beforehand.

Seeing that Lin Yi was not here, she thought to herself, “It seems like he hasn’t recovered yet.”

“Jian Ai, how are you?” Then, just as she returned to her seat and before she could sit down, Xia Qinghuan, who was at the side, had a concerned look on her face. “Are you feeling unwell?”

Jian Ai took out her Mathematics book and shook her head with a smile. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Seeing that Jian Ai’s expression and condition seemed to be good, Xia Qinghuan was relieved. However, she remembered that Jian Ai had also rushed to the fourth floor when the fire broke out, but she was already okay now. On the other hand, Lin Yi, a boy, was still lying in the hospital. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Lin Yi is too lousy. You turned out fine, but he still has a tube stuck to him in the hospital. So all this playing of basketball was for nothing.”

As he spoke, Sun Dasheng pushed open the door and entered. He was stunned when he saw Lin Yi’s seat. “Isn’t Student Lin Yi here?”

The other students didn’t know that Lin Yi was hospitalized. They thought he was just late.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Jian Yiyi’s gentle voice sounded in the classroom. “Teacher Sun, Lin Yi is sick and hospitalized. He asked me to help you apply for leave.”

Jian Yiyi’s expression was natural, but her words were full of hints. It was evident that others would misunderstand her relationship with Lin Yi.

As expected, the moment she finished speaking, the students in the class started discussing.

“Huh? Jian Yiyi asked for leave for Lin Yi?”

“Didn’t you hear her? Lin Yi asked Jian Yiyi to help.”

“What’s going on? Even if he wants to apply for leave, it should be Yan Tian or Gao Yang to do so, right?”

“Jian Yiyi just transferred over for a few days, but she’s already so close to Lin Yi?”

“A waterfront pavilion gets the moonlight first. Besides, Jian Yiyi is so pretty, and her temperament and family background is good. So it’s not surprising that Lin Yi likes her, right?”

The whisperings rose and fell. In the end, everyone believed that Lin Yi and Jian Yiyi were together.

Li Yunmei, who was sitting in the backseat, had the worst expression on her face. How could she accept that her best friend had a rumor with her crush?

She could tell that Jian Yiyi liked Lin Yi, but she didn’t expect Lin Yi to like Jian Yiyi as well.

Sun Dasheng immediately asked, “Hospitalized? Is it serious?”

Lin Yi’s grades were outstanding, and he was a sports specialty student. Since Sun Dasheng had always had a good impression of him, his tone was filled with concern.

“Don’t worry, Teacher. I went to see him yesterday afternoon. Although he’s still a little weak, he’s fine. He should be back for class soon,” Jian Yiyi quickly said.
