107 Where is she?
Han Nanxian squinted his eyes as he saw the boy standing before him. For a moment, he thought that he was imagining Han Zixin standing before him but when his image didn’t blur, he realized it was really his brother standing before him.
He didn’t know why Han Zixin was there but as long as the latter was there for him, he was more than happy.
“Where is my desk mate?”Han Zixin questioned.
“Ah?” Han Nanxian was perplexed.
“Where is my deskmate and the student you tutor?” Han Zixin said those words once again.
“I don’t know,” Han Nanxian shrugged. Now that he thought about An Xiulan, he realized he hadn’t talked to her for more than four days. The reason why he could forget about her was that Song Xueyun had asked him to help her in completing her science project and when it came to Song Xueyun, he forgot every other thing.
“Did she leave school?” Han Zixin asked after a while.
“How would I know?” Han Nanxian asked.
Han Zixin sighed as he found all the doors before him were closed. He didn’t know what he should do now or how he did contact his Little Blockhead. As long as she came back, he would apologize to her. He was mad at her but it didn’t mean she would leave him or the school…
How could she be so silly?
“She is your student, you are tutoring,” Han Zixin coldly said. “You should know everything about her. What an unreliable teacher she has!”
Han Nanxian’s eyes widened when he heard the accusations directed at him. “Han, I’m her tutor not friend. We aren’t close. We have a professional relationship. You are her friend. Should you know about her?”
Han Zixin pursed his lips. If he knew where she was, would he come to him? Absolutely not!
Seeing how sad his brother looked, Han Nanxian couldn’t bear this. Therefore, he softened his tone and said, “Why don’t you call her number? Oh, if she picked your call, you wouldn’t come to me? . Umm, do you want me to contact her house number?”
Han Zixin looked at him for a brief moment and then nodded his head.
Han Nanxian contacted An Xiulan’s house number but the staff told him that she wouldn’t be able to take calls for a while and she wouldn’t be attending any classes either. They weren’t able to know anything other than this. As he told Han Zixin about what he found out, the latter’s expressions deteriorated.
Han Zixin looked as if he was about to cry any moment.
Now both of them were worried. Han Zixin was worried about An Xiulan and Han Nanxian was worried about Han Zixin.
Han Nanxian began racking his brain as to how he could find any information on An Xiulan when Song Xueyun entered the class with a bundle of notebooks. Today, Gu Shangyan was absent and she had to perform his duties. Seeing her, an idea struck him. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Where is Shangyan?” Han Nanxian asked.
“Umm, he is participating in the maths contest, remember? He is in City B currently,” Song Xueyun informed. “Why are you suddenly asking about him?”
Han Zixin sighed sadly when he realised that he had to leave without any information. He was about to leave when he heard something that shocked him.
“Yunyun, do you know anything about An Xiulan?” Han Nanxian asked. “Can you ask Lu Xuan about his twin? Where is she? Can you ask him about her whereabouts? It’s urgent.”
Han Zixin’s eyes widened as he stared at both of them in bewilderment.
“You don’t know?” Song Xueyun asked in a soft voice.
“What?” Han Nanxian asked with a frown.
“Xiulan is in hospital,” Song Xueyun replied and Han Zixin felt as if he had stopped breathing. “She has been in hospital for around 4 days now. I heard from my aunt and uncle that she was in a coma for two days and she woke up for a while before falling unconscious again. I heard she hasn’t woken up until now.”
“Can you take me to meet her?” Han Zixin asked in a whisper.
Song Xueyun looked at him in surprise. She knew that An Xiulan and Han Zixin were close but she didn’t know the extent of their relationship until now. Her eyes met Han Nanxian’s that were begging her to say yes.
In the end, she could ask him to wait for a while before she asked Song Yifei who would ask An Qinyan about their visit.
When An Qinyan heard that it was Han Zixin she agreed. She hoped that her baby girl would wake up on seeing her friends.
At this moment, Gu Shangyan had no idea about the happenings back home. He had to stay in another city for two days for the contest and Lu Xuan was accompanying him because the latter wanted to try out the cuisine of that city and asked An Qinyan for permission who just nodded her head because she didn’t want to cause children any worry.
After school, Han Zixin, Song Xueyun and Han Nanxian went to hospital. When Grandpa You saw Han Zixin, he smiled at him and asked all of them to follow them if they wished to meet An Xiulan.
They watched her from the glass where she was lying on the hospital bed. Her delicate face was so small and weak that it appeared as if she didn’t have any layer of skin on her face. She was a petite girl to begin with but after surviving on IV for days, she had lost so much weight.
Han Zixin wished that he could go back to the past and apologize to her. There were so many questions running in his head but the most prominent of them was how he shouldn’t have said those hurtful words to her if he knew she was going to fall sick. He silently urged her to wake up. He had been praying for her since the time he had heard about her. He promised that as long as she woke up, he would not get mad at her, no matter how silly or infuriating she was being. He would never fight with anyone. If she wished, he would be a good boy…
As long as she wakes up…
