Chapter 49: A Confession
Bai Cha didn’t know how to describe her feelings.
To be honest, it was very complicated.
Of course, she wouldn’t let go of the fact that Yu Zhenzhen had set her up.
But the other person seemed to have been truly destroyed and erased, no longer existing.
Yu Zhenzhen was guilty, but not deserving of death, at least in Bai Cha’s opinion. People would always do some things when they were afraid.
Pulling those around them down was something many people would instinctively do.
Oh, of course, that didn’t mean she would forgive Yu Zhenzhen.
But Yu Zhenzhen’s previous level definitely wouldn’t have been high. Perhaps she should find Wang Xuming and ask about his real level, so she could deduce Yu Zhenzhen’s real level.
But it definitely wouldn’t be high, she was sure of it.
So where did she get the high-level item?
Did she just happen to get lucky and obtain an item that could make someone else enter the game for her?
Even though she had only played this game once, Bai Cha’s feeling of powerlessness from beginning to end made her clearly realize that behind the game was an extremely powerful behemoth, perhaps a truly god-like existence.
Perhaps even the so-called real world they lived in was just a dungeon in the game, a safe dungeon.
That’s why Yu Zhenzhen could be so easily erased, completely cleared from this world like data.
Then what level would an item that could deceive the game be?
Could Yu Zhenzhen have obtained it?
And the missing package.
Bai Cha lowered her head and carefully looked at the sender’s address, taking a picture of the address with her phone.
She didn’t know if the other party’s information was true or false, but she could go and take a look if she had the chance.
The doctor came in at this time and asked some questions that were exactly the same as in the illusion.
“She’s fine, she can be discharged. She was just malnourished and had low blood sugar, and then she had a fever. That’s why she fainted. Just pay attention to rest and nutrition.”
Li Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.
“We were shocked when we received the call. A boy brought you here. I told you, don’t go get packages when you’re sick. Just tell us, and we’ll go for you,” Li Mengyao said reproachfully.
Bai Cha smiled helplessly.
“I didn’t expect I would faint either. It was my first time fainting.”
“That’s true… During your freshman year, you had a fever of 41 degrees, and you were still directing us to get towels and medicine for you, scaring A Zhao to tears. She kept holding her phone, saying she was going to call 120 for you. We’ve never seen anyone have such a high fever.”
Li Mengyao shook her head.
“Oh right, A Zhao went to get you food. We’ll go through the discharge procedures after we eat.”
Bai Cha nodded, her fingers gently stroking her phone.
During her freshman year, when school had just started, she probably had a high fever due to acclimatization.
She was quite young, having entered university at 16, and her roommates took good care of her.
That night, the dormitory was in chaos in the middle of the night.
She was dizzy with fever, comforting them not to worry. She wiped her body with warm water, and her temperature quickly came down.
Of course, she also remembered that one roommate cried very sadly that day, constantly asking if they should call 120, very scared, and constantly searching on Baidu (a.k.a Chinese google) about what to do for a fever of 41 degrees.
But it wasn’t A Zhao.
It was Yu Zhenzhen.
Yu Zhenzhen even ran to the dormitory supervisor to ask for a kettle to boil hot water and brought it up for her to soak her feet.
A Zhao and Mengyao stayed with her, both silent as if facing a great enemy, while also comforting the frightened Yu Zhenzhen.
It wasn’t until her temperature actually dropped to 38 degrees and she took medicine and fell asleep that Yu Zhenzhen finally rested.
But A Zhao and Mengyao took turns resting, constantly checking her temperature.
They were very good to her.
Bai Cha had explained to them that she was used to having high fevers often and that it was usually nothing serious. She wouldn’t fall into a coma like in novels or TV shows, and she didn’t need to go to the hospital.
But they still took very careful care of her afterward.
Bai Cha’s emotions uncontrollably sank.
She had thought about asking Yu Zhenzhen after surviving, considering whether her body could survive in the game.
But Yu Zhenzhen was gone.
An unnamed anger rose in her heart.
She couldn’t quite explain it.
But she felt that things shouldn’t have ended like this.
“Your body really needs someone to take care of you. That boy who brought you here seems pretty good. He seemed to be interested in you before. Oh right, do you know who brought you here?”
Li Mengyao was still shaking her head and sighing. As she spoke, the hospital room door was pushed open.
A Zhao and a boy walked in.
“Oh, speak of the devil,” Li Mengyao winked at Bai Cha.
Bai Cha looked at the boy. He was a very handsome and sunny type, also tall.
She knew him.
He was from the class next door, named Lin Zhenyang.
“Did you bring me here?” Bai Cha asked.
Li Mengyao and Li A Zhao exchanged glances.
“You guys chat. We’re going out to eat.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhenyang’s face turned slightly red. He scratched his head and stood there a bit awkwardly.
The door closed, and he nodded.
“I happened to be going to get a package and saw you faint, so I brought you to the hospital. Then I contacted your roommates. I originally wanted to contact your family, but your roommates said… it wasn’t very convenient.”
“It’s good that you’re okay. You scared me.”
Lin Zhenyang said, then suddenly stopped, hesitating to speak.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Cha looked at him. She actually wanted to ask if he had seen the contents of the package.
Lin Zhenyang mustered his courage and said, “Can you give me a chance to take care of you? I mean… I’ve actually liked you since freshman year, but… you were quite young then, and I felt… anyway, can I?”
After he finished speaking, his heart was pounding like thunder, his ears were red, and he didn’t even dare to look at Bai Cha.
Bai Cha sighed silently. It was quite annoying, not that she disliked Lin Zhenyang.
She just disliked this so-called liking.
What protection and care…
“Sure,” Bai Cha smiled at him, and when he looked over in surprise, she said, “Then do you know how to take care of a patient with a high fever?”
Lin Zhenyang was stunned.
“If I get sick in the middle of the night and have a high fever of 40 degrees, and it’s too late to go to the hospital, in that situation, with a persistent high fever, there might be a series of problems like febrile seizures. Do you know how to quickly bring down a fever?”
Lin Zhenyang opened his mouth.
“How many times have you had a cold? Do you take medicine on time when you have a cold? Do you know which medications are for wind-heat colds and which are for wind-cold colds? Which ones don’t make you sleepy? Which ones do?”
The redness on Lin Zhenyang’s face had faded.
Bai Cha’s tone was still very gentle, as if she wasn’t questioning him.
She sighed helplessly again.
“You said you’ve liked me since freshman year, and you want a chance to take care of me, but from freshman to senior year, you should know that my health hasn’t been good, and you’ve never learned how to take care of a patient, have you?”
Lin Zhenyang said somewhat anxiously, “I’m sorry, but I can learn these things…”
“Learn for me?” Bai Cha felt that perhaps because of Yu Zhenzhen’s matter, her patience was really bad now, so she interrupted him.
“Today you can learn how to take care of a patient for me. Tomorrow, will you tell me that if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t need to learn these tiring things?”
“I…”
“You want to say you wouldn’t, but have you ever taken care of a patient? Do you take good care of yourself? Do you know to add clothes when it’s cold, to pay attention to the weather forecast, to always carry an umbrella, to eat on time every day, to go to bed early and wake up early, to not stay up late, not smoke, not drink? Can you do that?”
Bai Cha’s voice carried a hint of aggression, her gaze sharply fixed on him.
“You can’t even take care of yourself. Who do you think you can take care of?”
