"It's just a bad cold. A few IV drips will bring the fever down, and you'll be fine."
"I understand, thank you!"After Dr. Liu left, Gu Yichen walked to the bedside, tucked the blanket in, and sat down in the chair next to her, staring intently at the sleeping Anqi, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The afternoon sun shone warmly on the hospital bed, like a gentle hand caressing Anqi's cheek. Anqi slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and felt a sharp pain in her head. She supported her forehead with one hand, looked around, and realized she was alone in the infirmary. Turning her head, she saw Gu Yichen asleep, one hand supporting his head. Seeing his slightly furrowed brow, she felt a pang of pain in her heart and unconsciously reached out to smooth his furrowed brow. At that moment, Gu Yichen sensed something, opened his eyes, stared at Anqi, and grasped her outstretched hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, nothing." Anqi smiled awkwardly, then said, "I'm a little hungry, I wanted to wake you up so we could eat together."
"Hungry? You lie here and rest, I'll go get some food."
Gu Yichen let go of her hand, picked up his coat, and turned to leave the infirmary.
The autumn air was crisp and clear, with a few white clouds drifting across the sky; it looked like another beautiful day.
The door to the infirmary opened, and Gu Yichen came in carrying a lunchbox. He quickly opened the lunchbox and placed it on the bedside table, took off his coat and draped it over a chair, then pulled the chair over and sat down.
"Eat quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Anqi took the chopsticks, picked up some food from the lunchbox, and put it in her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Is it not good?" Gu Yichen asked worriedly.
"No, it's delicious." Anqi wiped away her tears and smiled. "Thank you for being so kind to me."
Over the next few days, Anqi's severe cold gradually improved, and she practiced piano in the music room every day. Xiao Qing chatted away beside her, and before they knew it, the National Day holiday arrived. In the classroom, Xiao Qing took the lead in suggesting a vacation in Suzhou. The other students had no objections, but a few still wanted to stay in Shanghai, one of whom was Jiang Yan.
"It's just a short holiday. We can have fun in Shanghai too. Why go all the way to Suzhou?"
"Don't you know the saying, 'Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou'? Although Suzhou is a small town, it is known as 'Jiangnan in the misty rain.' It's a wonderful place. You definitely won't regret going there."
"No matter how eloquently you describe it, I'm not going."
"Jiang Yan—"
Sitting by the window, Anqi looked at the falling leaves outside and recalled playing in the suburbs of Suzhou when she was a child. Xiao Yichen's smiling face came into view.
“Anqi…”
Anqi turned around, and Xiao Qing smiled and put her hand on her shoulder.
“Want to go to Suzhou?”
“Suzhou?” Anqi asked back.
“Yes, Suzhou is a great place, let’s go together!”
“Okay!”
Xiao Qing cheered happily and gave Anqi a big hug.
The autumn wind was bleak, and the sycamore leaves fell with the wind. Anqi looked up at the falling leaves and unconsciously walked to the door of the music room. She walked up and looked into the music room and saw that there was no one inside, only a piano. She turned away disappointedly.
“Anqi.”
Hearing a voice calling her, she looked up and saw Gu Yichen standing in the sunlight. He had black, tousled hair, a fair face, and smiling, star-like eyes. He was wearing a navy blue coat and blue jeans, which accentuated his natural elegance. Anqi was a little lost in thought.
Gu Yichen had a bag on his back and the other hand in his pocket. He slowly walked towards her.
“Anqi, what are you doing here? Were you waiting for me?”
Anqi nodded.
"It's almost holiday time, I might not be here for a few days, so don't wait for me here."
"Where are you going?" Anqi asked hurriedly.
"Back to Suzhou."
