C16 What?

In the senior year at Dicheng High School, there are always some diligent students who stay at school during lunch to continue studying. When they get tired, they just rest their heads on their desks for a quick nap.

Having neglected her studies before, Lin Qianqian knew she had to work harder than others to catch up. Starting this week, she decided to stay at school during lunch, eat in the cafeteria, and keep reviewing her lessons. She had already informed the driver not to pick her up at noon.

At eighteen, even without a midday break, she was still full of energy by evening. Lin Qianqian studied until nine at night, feeling a bit sleepy. She left her room to take a walk and wake herself up, as nine o'clock was still quite early.

Her room was on the same floor as Lu Yuchen's room and study. As she walked down the hallway and passed his study, she noticed the door was slightly ajar. She paused for a moment.

"...Hurry up... it hurts a lot this time, it's quite serious..." Lu Yuchen's voice faintly came through.

What hurts? Quite serious?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qianqian remembered that in the past, Lu Yuchen had stomach issues. Before their divorce, his condition had worsened to the point of bleeding, hospitalization, and even a perforated stomach.

Her actions were faster than her thoughts. By the time she realized it, she had already pushed open the door to the study.

The study was spacious, with a hidden alcove and a bathroom. At that moment, Lu Yuchen was half-reclined on the sofa, his handsome face pale under the light, clutching his stomach in pain. When he saw her open the door, he looked up but said nothing.

Lin Qianqian hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. "Are you having stomach pains again?"

His brows furrowed, and he looked at her, pressing his lips tightly together. "It's nothing..."

She walked closer, glancing around. "Don't you have medicine? Where is it? I'll get it for you."

Yuchen raised his hand slightly. "I think it's in... the desk drawer..."

Qianqian walked over and started opening each drawer to search. When she opened the middle drawer, she found a company document. She glanced at it, noting that it was about next week's corporate meeting where they would decide on the new general manager for the construction company branch.

Next to it, there was a bottle of medicine. She picked it up and showed it to Yuchen. "Is this the one?"

"Yeah."

She went to get some water, brought it over, and helped him take the medicine. However, she noticed he was in so much pain that he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and the medicine didn't seem to be working fast enough. "This isn't good. I'll get Chen to take you to the hospital." She stood up, ready to leave.

"No need..." Yuchen reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back with a strong but slightly uncontrolled grip.

Qianqian stumbled forward, falling onto him! She quickly braced herself on the nearby sofa, got up, and stepped back, nervously saying, "Sorry, I didn't mean to!"

She lowered her head, afraid to look at him, terrified of seeing the same look of disdain he had in the past.

Yuchen glanced up. In the light, the girl wore a light blue, loose-fitting dress, her long, smooth hair naturally draped over her shoulders, gently tucked behind her ear, revealing her small, oval face. At that moment, with her head down, she seemed a bit uneasy and anxious...
