Chapter 135 The genius student in Grade 2 fainted?
In the school bathroom.
"Just got a piece of gossip. I heard that the genius in the second year of high school fainted."
"Ah? Which academic genius?"
"Have you lost your mind? How many geniuses can there be in our school? Besides, he's the god-level one from the second year of high school." The girl was obviously worried about her companion's dull brain.
The girl also reacted: "Ah? Ji Xun?"
"Well, when he was in gym class..."
The door to the bathroom stall slammed open. The two girls were startled and looked towards the open door to see Shang Qing, who looked anxious.
"Mr. Jing!" The two girls covered their mouths in shock. They realized that Ji Xun was Shang Qing's younger brother. Wasn't the person they were discussing the case in question?
"What's going on? How much do you know? What happened to Xiaoxun?" Shang Qing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand. She wanted to know more information.
"I, I only know that the last class was physical education. Ji Xun fainted while running. Fortunately, he was supported by his classmates and did not fall. Later, he was carried to the infirmary by his classmates. Many classmates saw this." The girl hurriedly told Shang Qing everything she knew.
When Shang Qing heard that she did not fall and was helped up by her classmates in time, she felt a little relieved. She bowed in gratitude and ran to the infirmary as fast as she could.
Along the way, she ignored the surprised looks from others. She only knew that Ji Xun had fainted and was in the infirmary, and she had to hurry.
She pushed open the door of the infirmary and ran in panting. There was only one doctor in the infirmary, and no one else was there. It seemed that Ji Xun's classmates had already gone back to class.
She peered into the inner room and saw Ji Xun, still unconscious, lying on the hospital bed. His thin, tall figure, dressed in his school uniform, slumped on the bed, seemed enveloped by a sense of boundless loneliness. Shang Qing couldn't describe her feelings, only a dull, agonizing pain in her heart.
Ji Xun's slender neck tilted to one side, revealing a haggard but extraordinarily handsome face. His brows were furrowed, his pale lips were tightly pursed, his complexion was pale and almost transparent, his thick and long eyelashes covered his beautiful eyes, casting a shadow, and his slightly bluish eyes showed how tired he was.
He just lay there alone, his face as pale as paper. The liquid in the bottle flowed into his body drop by drop, but he lay there quietly as if he was unconscious.
"Doctor, doctor, how is he?" Shang Qing quickly squatted in front of the bed and placed her hand on his forehead. His forehead was cold, and a layer of sweat soaked Shang Qing's palm.
When the doctor saw that it was Shang Qing, he stood up and said soothingly, "Student Shang Qing, it's okay. Ji Xun fainted because of mental weakness."
Who in this school doesn't know the godlike academic genius Ji Xun? And of course, how many don't know the beautiful girl Shang Qing? She used to be known for her terrible deeds, but now, she's also seen other kinds of incidents that have rocked the school, including beating and saving people. She's probably the only one who's managed to escape unscathed!
"Doctor, what is the cause of this?"
"It's possible he's been under long-term stress, or he's been sleep deprived for days, or he's overly tired. Judging from his current mental state, it's probably both."
The doctor sighed. "So, there's no such thing as a genius prodigy. It's all thanks to hard work that they receive so many honors." "Alas, it's so hard for children these days."
"Thank you." Shang Qing moved a chair over and sat down in front of Ji Xun's bed. She took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Her fingers stroked his forehead and hair. With her other hand, she lifted his fingers and intertwined them.
Looking closely at him from this distance, Ji Xun seemed thinner and more haggard. His heartbeat was slow and heavy, and his breathing was slow and light, as if he was trying to conserve every bit of energy to relieve the pain of his overly heavy body.
Ji Xun, in his coma, seemed to sense a familiar presence. His eyelids trembled slightly, as if in a final struggle against the darkness. Gradually, his pupils began to focus, and through his blurred vision, he seemed to see Shang Qing's face.
This must be a dream. In the dream, his sister's figure was always blurry. No matter how he rubbed his eyes, the figure was still blurry.
Shang Qing saw this scene. He opened his eyes with fatigue, and the red bloodshot in his eyes showed how much pain and unbearable it was for him.
"Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun, how do you feel now?" Shang Qing stood up and leaned in front of Ji Xun, a little anxious.
Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar face approaching, Ji Xun's whole body trembled. His pupils suddenly shrank after he saw his current location clearly.
His mind was clamoring frantically: Why was he in the infirmary? Why was Shang Qing here? Did he just faint? So, Shang Qing is here! Will he find out...
Ji Xun supported himself with his arms and sat up. He felt dizzy and fell backwards. Shang Qing held him tightly in her arms. The fresh scent of flowers and fruits filled his nose, and he heard a distressed scolding in his ears: "What's the rush? Lie down! Your health is important!"
Ji Xun lay back on the hospital bed, feeling a little guilty, and didn't dare to look at her beautiful face that was filled with anxiety and worry.
"Sister, I..." Ji Xun didn't know how to explain his fainting. Presumably, his sister had asked the school doctor the reason, but he couldn't open his mouth, or he didn't want to tell her.
There was a moment of silence in the air, and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside could be clearly heard.
The moment this pitiful and hoarse voice sounded, Shang Qing felt distressed. Shang Qing recalled what the school doctor had said and came to the conclusion: This child must be under too much pressure from studying!
"Xiao Xun, the doctor said you're not getting enough sleep. Are you studying too late every day? Don't be stressed. You're already very good. Studying is just a part of our lives. Don't worry."
Her soft and gentle voice brought Ji Xun's heart back to its place. My sister doesn't know, fortunately she doesn't know!
Shang Qing analyzed and concluded: "He always tops every exam and regularly represents the school in competitions. Who could possibly do that?" It shows how hard he works. How could such honors come so easily? They must require an effort beyond the reach of ordinary people. Why does this kid push himself so hard? He's already incredibly talented.
"Xiao Xun, don't participate in some competitions. I'm a wealthy woman now, so it will be no problem for me to support you in the future. You don't have to work so hard!"
Ji Xun didn't hear anything else. He only heard: "Xiao Xun, I'll support you! I'll support you!"
Even if his sister liked a boy, he was on her list and he was not kicked out. His heart was no longer wandering.
His heartbeat quickened again, and his pale cheeks turned red, making him look even more handsome.
"Sister, I'm fine." Ji Xun wanted to say that studying and participating in competitions didn't affect him, and he was at ease with both. But he found it difficult to speak. If he could speak, then why did he faint? Why was he sleep deprived?
He could only accept the weak reason that he was under too much pressure from studying. He had to admit that although he was a top student, he was also an ordinary student who worked very hard in private, an ordinary student who fainted because of too much pressure and fatigue.
