Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

“Tell her it’s okay…no, I’ll tell her myself. This is my own problem.”

“China…” Su Shi felt a mix of emotions. “Then I’ll contact you again after you’ve finished communicating with Aine.”

"Um……"

China immediately dialed Aine's number again, and the other party answered after only one ring.

"Little Aiyin!"

"China-chan!"

The two shouted almost simultaneously.

Then China called out first:

"I was just rambling before, please don't take it to heart!"

"I..." Ai Yin's mouth was half open, suppressing the words she wanted to say.

She suddenly spoke in an unusually calm tone,

"It's alright, we can talk to each other separately when we meet later. China should get some rest first."

"Um...ok."

China put her phone down and picked it up again, feeling somewhat lost. Finally, after the other party hung up, she slowly put the phone into her pocket.

While China stood there in a daze, Shoko took her arm and reminded her.

"Don't overthink it. If you don't go to the hospital soon, your body will get sick from the cold."

…………

At the entrance of the inpatient department, a girl with flaxen hair sat on a chair in the lobby, her hands clenched tightly together, her heart pounding wildly.

Even after talking to China on the phone, she still couldn't put her mind at ease.

So she rushed over, asked the receptionist about China's condition, and requested permission to visit China's ward during the current non-visiting hours.

However, she was told that China was not at the hospital.

In her anxiety, Su Shi decided to make another call to confirm where China was.

However, almost simultaneously after dialing the number, another ringtone sounded behind me.

She looked back.

It's China.

Her hair was wet, and she was wearing the school uniform of Tsukimori Junior High School.

Chapter 129 You Can't Fall

"Little...Little Chinatsu?!"

Upon seeing the beauty mark under the other person's right eye, Su Shi stood up in utter surprise. The ringing of the phone she was dialing kept echoing in her ears, but she stood there, stunned, forgetting to hang up.

After that, China hung up the phone. She was also shocked by Su Shi's decision to rush to the hospital at night. When she realized that all of this was because of her, her expression became serious.

Su Shixiao quickly approached, her gaze lingering on Qian Nai's expression and clothes, and for a moment she was speechless.

There are slight differences between the school uniforms of Tsukimori Junior High and Senior High School.

Junior high students wear slightly shorter neck scarves and plaid skirts, while senior high students wear solid-color skirts.

Chika had only attended high school before.

Seeing China in her junior high school uniform and her wet hair filled Su Shi with many questions, but she didn't know where to begin.

Another factor that unsettled her was... China's current appearance was like a shadow of the past, stirring up many memories of her past.

Su Shi had no choice but to first soothe the other party's emotions.

She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, intending to wipe the water droplets from China's hair, but China instinctively blocked her with one hand.

Because she caught a chill, China felt a persistent headache, as if even the slightest touch would worsen the condition.

However, her unintentional refusal caused Su Shi's pupils to tremble slightly.

It seems that the same thing that happened with Xiangzi in the past is about to happen to Qianna.

If things have cooled off between you and Xiangzi, will things turn out the same way with Qianna?

This idea terrified Su Shi, and she asked hurriedly and anxiously.

"China... what happened? Why are you soaked like this? And why are you still wearing your junior high school uniform?"

"I..." China opened her mouth, but no words came out.

She dared not answer any of the questions.

He told Aine that he wasn't good at relieving worries and suggested that she see a psychologist.

The incident involved Xiangzi rushing to the rented room in the rain and beating up her father. Regardless of how crazy it was, this was definitely something Xiangzi wouldn't want to be mentioned.

Therefore, China could only vaguely reply, "It's my problem..."

This familiar avoidance was all too familiar to Su Shi, and she no longer dared to ask any further questions.

"I'm going back to my ward now. Xiao Su Shi, you should go home and rest too," Qian Nai said, looking up.

Su Shi nodded. Even though she was extremely worried, she still wanted to give China some privacy.

Otherwise, if it makes China feel resistant... No, we absolutely can't let that happen!

But, doesn't Chika need me?

If it weren't for the fact that visiting hours have already passed, I could have stayed with China in the ward and slowly helped her resolve her inner conflicts... and achieved a different outcome than before, even with the same outfit.

At that moment, Su Shi saw another figure running in from the doorway.

It was Xiangzi, wearing the Haneoka uniform and with his hair also wet.

She looked very nervous; she had come here right after registering at the outpatient clinic.

She exchanged a glance with Su Shi, but didn't slow down. Instead, she looked a little troubled and continued running towards the front desk nurse.

"How is my dad doing now?" Xiangzi asked anxiously.

She no longer had time to worry about how to lower her voice so that the nurse could hear her but Su Shi couldn't.

"He's having his stomach pumped in the operating room right now," the nurse replied. "Please calm down. We'll let you know when the surgery is over."

"Thank you so much for your help!" Xiangzi bowed deeply.

Upon hearing the conversation, Su Shi's eyes widened, and a look of astonishment froze on her face.

She suddenly understood why the two sisters' hair was wet.

They were told that their father had an accident during a heavy rainstorm, so they rushed home in the rain.

Therefore, when Aine called Chinatsu, Chinatsu was not in the mood to chat with her, which made Aine think that she had upset Chinatsu.

Su Shi never imagined this would be the case.

But just a moment ago, she was only worried about whether China would distance herself from her, and even thought about doing something to make up for her regrets on China, who was wearing the Tsuki no Mori junior high school uniform.

My mind is filled with thoughts of myself...

Just as she was lost in a daze and self-blame, Xiangzi walked between her and Qiannai and said seriously:

"This is a family matter, please don't interfere."

Su Shi nodded silently, leaving behind the blessing, "I hope your father recovers soon," before slowly leaving with unsteady steps.

……

"Xiao Xiang..."

After seeing Xiangzi pick up her medicine at the clinic, Qiannai sat on a chair in the lobby with her head down and remained silent.

She wanted to remind Xiangzi to go through the hospital admission procedures so that after taking a shower and resting in the ward, his fever would subside faster and wouldn't prevent her from visiting her father.

However, such a plan that takes into account both herself and others probably requires a great deal of rationality to support her in doing it.

Otherwise, why would someone pay extra attention to their own "nothing serious" fever when their loved ones' lives are at stake?

But China was really worried that Shoko wouldn't be able to hold on if he kept sitting like that.

She has been holding on for a long time, for more than a year.

For someone whose body has been under immense pressure for a long time, a fever is by no means a minor illness.

China didn't want her to collapse on the day before dawn.

"You go back to your room first, I'll be fine by myself... cough cough."

When Xiangzi coughed, he realized that he hadn't taken the few boxes of medicine he was carrying.

She noticed that the cough medicine among the pills was the same brand her father had overdosed on before, which made her feel resistant.

However, she knew in her heart that this was for treating an illness, and if she took it according to the doctor's instructions, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Whether it cures or causes disease depends on the dosage.

There was a water dispenser near the lobby, but Xiangzi didn't go to get it; instead, he swallowed the medicine directly.

After that, she sat silently, just like before, until China sat down next to her, and then she asked:

Why haven't you gone back to your ward yet?

"I'm afraid my agent won't be able to give me work anymore."

"Stop fooling around, go back now...cough cough."

China got up, but instead of going straight back to her ward, she went to the front desk and asked the nurse for help.

"Could you please make an exception and allow my sister to stay in my hospital room? She caught a fever after being caught in the rain, and I'd like her to rest."

The nurse called her superior to make the request and received an affirmative reply.

"Thank you!" China bowed deeply.

Then he went over to Xiangzi and helped her up.

"leave me alone!"

Xiangzi tried to shake off Qiannai's hand, but she held on tightly.

"At least dry your hair, okay? After that, you can do whatever you want with it."

"I..." Xiangzi opened his mouth, but then felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but hold his head.

It seems that her current physical condition, weakened by stress, makes her even more susceptible to this fever.

If she continues to push herself, she'll probably be forced to be hospitalized.

She could only reluctantly agree.

"Okay...okay, I do need to take a shower first, dry my hair, and then lie down for a bit...you too..."

"Anyway... you go ahead and wash."

However, China shook her head.

"I do want to shower as soon as possible, but there's no need to prioritize."

"Let's do it together."

After saying that, Chinai pulled Shoko into her hospital room.

Chapter 130 Honesty

"drop??"

After pulling Xiangzi into the bathroom, Qiannai pressed the ventilation button and turned on the exhaust fan.

This allows moisture and heat to escape quickly during showering, while also adjusting the water temperature to a relatively comfortable level.

Otherwise, if the room is too stuffy, they might faint from their fevers.

"Okay, hurry up and wash."

As she spoke, China immediately took off her clothes and crawled under the shower.

She couldn't stand the rain on her for so long, especially when she thought about how the rain in big cities was slightly acidic and carried all sorts of bacteria.

As she showered under the showerhead, she felt as if she had escaped from purgatory and been reborn.
