Li Yang's expression changed slightly, and he growled, "Is she still at school? Taking a shower? Is she stupid?"
“If you don’t come soon, she really won’t make it. Jiao Hua and I can’t do anything about it. She’s not using an umbrella and just standing there in the rain for hours…” Before she could finish speaking, Li Yang slammed down the phone.
"Don't hesitate, go ahead," Sister Xin said magnanimously, without getting angry.
"Then I'm going." Li Yang didn't dare look Xin Jie in the eye, afraid of revealing his true feelings. He rushed into the bathroom to change his clothes, rushed out of Xin Jie's apartment, and took a taxi straight to school.
When she arrived at the school, it was already four or five in the afternoon. That means Zhao Lihua had been waiting on the playground since the afternoon. If it had rained at two or three o'clock, Zhao Lihua would have been standing in the rain for two or three hours.
How can a delicate girl like a flower endure for two or three hours?
Li Yang rushed into the rain without a care, letting the rain soak his clothes. He ran wildly into the playground and saw three girls huddled together in a corner, shivering, with an umbrella helplessly held up.
Li Yang felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickened his pace. He recalled how, every time he saw Zhao Lihua over the past week, he had simply turned his head and walked past. Several times, he had seen Zhao Lihua looking at him with a hesitant expression, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.
However, he stubbornly believed that Zhao Lihua was using him and that she didn't like him at all, so he didn't give her a chance to speak and turned to leave.
Zhao Lihua, a proud and aloof second-generation official, was a well-known ice queen at school, maintaining her pride. Seeing Li Yang's demeanor, she naturally wouldn't chase after him to say anything.
But she couldn't take it anymore and finally decided to swallow her pride and negotiate with him, only to have Li Yang stand her up.
The stubborn Zhao Lihua vowed that if Li Yang didn't come, she would stand there and die on the playground.
"You, you've finally arrived." Zhao Lihua smiled bitterly when she saw Li Yang rushing over, and collapsed.
The rain poured down, soaking everyone to the bone, their figures gleaming, but no one had time to appreciate it.
"You bitch, you dead man, don't come here! Why are you here? Let Lihua get soaked to death..." Jiao Hua yelled at Li Yang.
"Hurry up and take her to the hospital!" Liang Chunyun, being more rational, shouted.
Li Yang was filled with remorse. He shouldn't have been so heartless towards Zhao Lihua because of a few words from those two wretched women. He had let this beautiful flower suffer such hardship for his sake.
Li Yang glared at the two of them, picked up Zhao Lihua, and rushed into the rain. He rushed to the school clinic, only to find it closed. "Damn it, what kind of rest are you guys doing? You have no professional ethics at all!"
Li Yang had no choice but to carry her to the school gate and take a taxi straight to a major hospital.
"Doctor, doctor, emergency room..."
Li Yang was yelling and shouting in the hospital, which scared the child so much that he started crying loudly. The parent should have scolded Li Yang, but seeing his disheveled appearance and the pitiful look of the girl in his arms, he didn't say anything more.
Zhao Lihua was wheeled into the emergency room, and Li Yang sat down on the side, waiting quietly.
"Go pay the bill!" a nurse yelled at him.
"Damn it, my money!" Li Yang hurriedly pulled out the RMB in his pocket. Damn, most of it was soaked, but luckily some wasn't completely wet.
I hurriedly laid it out to dry on a chair to the side, silently waiting for it to dry. Damn it, I hope the hospital won't be too bothered; laundering money will lower their reputation.
When Li Yang went to pay, the nurse looked at the wet money with a blank expression. Li Yang said weakly, "The money is all wet."
"We don't want it if it's wet. No treatment without payment!" the nurse said coldly.
Holy crap, you call this a white-clad angel? You're more like a ghost!
"Can I pay by card?" Li Yang asked, taking out his bank card.
"Okay." The nurse still had no expression. Damn, she didn't even remind me; I almost forgot.
Finally, the medical bills were paid. Li Yang turned and walked back.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Lihua was wheeled out, with a water bottle hanging from her arm, her face deathly pale.
"What happened? A severe cold. She needs to be hospitalized for observation to prevent it from worsening or developing into pneumonia." The doctor glanced at Li Yang, then, without further ado, Zhao Lihua was wheeled into the ward.
Li Yang followed her into the ward. Looking at Zhao Lihua in her blue striped uniform, Li Yang felt a pang of guilt.
Chapter 137: Intimate and Close
"I'm sorry, Lihua. I shouldn't have been jealous and angry." Li Yang realized that he had been jealous and doubting Zhao Lihua's feelings for him all week.
Now it seems all those previous actions were meaningless. I shouldn't have doubted her. But who wouldn't be jealous in that situation?
Zhao Lihua is proud, damn it, isn't Li Yang proud too? He's proud to the core, otherwise he wouldn't have cut ties with Zhao Lihua without even asking her a question.
If it were an ordinary person, faced with a beauty like Zhao Lihua, they would have already begged and pleaded like a mangy dog, begging for her forgiveness and not to abandon them. Or they would have preferred to be played with and have sex with her.
However, Li Yang would never do such a thing.
However, looking back today, it was all caused by pride!
"It's not your fault, Li Yang. What I said that day really hurt you. I've been wanting to apologize to you, but I just couldn't muster the courage! I'm sorry, please forgive me?" Zhao Lihua looked at Li Yang with sincere remorse.
Li Yang was taken aback. Uh, it seems so. It seems that she hurt him first. He can't forgive her just because she put on a show of suffering.
But seeing Zhao Lihua's pitiful appearance, Li Yang really couldn't stay angry. Oh well, what can he do? She's a woman, and it seems she really likes him.
"Do you really like me?" Li Yang pressed.
"Yes!" Zhao Lihua nodded seriously. From her initial curiosity and attraction to his talent, to the many things they experienced later, she had fallen hopelessly in love with Li Yang.
The reason she said that that day was partly because she was too proud and didn't want those two gossipy girls to know, and partly because she didn't want to make their affair public knowledge. After all, she was the ice queen of the school in the eyes of teachers and students, how could she be allowed to fall from grace and mess around with boys? Besides, Li Yang didn't like that either.
"Okay, then I forgive you," Li Yang said, no longer pursuing the matter.
"Thank you, Li Yang! I was a little wrong about what happened that day, but I know those two gossipy women have no guts, so I didn't dare tell them. Otherwise, everyone would know by the next day. You didn't want that either, did you?" Zhao Lihua said softly.
"I understand. I believe you. Actually, I like you too. Otherwise, I wouldn't care so much about what you said." Li Yang also frankly admitted his feelings. Yes, if he didn't really like this girl, why would he get so angry?
