Chapter 155: Going to the Hospital

Soon, the class was over and Lin Ling left with Xing Jiuan immediately.

Huo Chulan was about to walk over with a delicate and pretty girl beside her.

The four of them happened to bump into each other.

“Teacher Lin Ling,” the two students greeted.

Lin Ling’s impression of Huo Chulan was average. Now that she was in a hurry to go out with Xing Jiuan, she could only nod casually.

However, Xing Jiuan took another look at Huo Chulan.

After Xing Jiuan had left with Lin Ling, Huo Chulan continued to look in the direction the two of them had disappeared to for a very, very long time.

“Chulan, what’s wrong?” the girl beside her asked curiously.

Huo Chulan shook her head and chuckled. “Nothing. I’m just curious about who that person is…”

“She’s Teacher Lin Ling’s younger sister, right? She’s really pretty. If she could be my model, I would definitely be the champion of this design competition.”

Huo Chulan’s smile was a little forced. “Your design is indeed very good.”

“Design is only part of the reason. It’s not like there isn’t someone who is better than me, but modeling is a big part of it too. If I had such a perfect model, my grades would be better.”

“Those are just external factors. Design is still the foundation,” Huo Chulan said.

The girl smiled. “Chulan, don’t be so serious. I’m just saying it casually. I can’t compare to you either since you’re good-looking. If you wore the clothes you designed, you’ll definitely be the most beautiful.”

“I only want to be a designer,” Huo Chulan said.

“It’s good to be a designer too. You will definitely be an outstanding designer in the future,” the girl said with a smile. Her smile was bright, and there was not a trace of gloominess on her face.

Huo Chulan only smiled back. “Let’s go to the classroom.”

“Sure.”

They then walked away.

Lin Ling and Xing Jiuan walked together for a while before suddenly stopping.

There was no one around at this time.

“What’s wrong, Senior Sister?” Xing Jiuan asked in confusion.

“I suddenly realized…” Lin Ling said, “Jiuan, earlier, you… Do you know Huo Chulan?”

Xing Jiuan’s expression did not change. “No.”

“Why do I feel like you were looking at her more than necessary…” Lin Ling said suspiciously.

“I didn’t, Senior Sister. You’re thinking too much.”

Lin Ling looked at her again. Xing Jiuan looked helpless.

“Maybe I’m overthinking…”

“There is no ‘maybe.’ You are indeed thinking too much. Senior Sister, let’s go.”

“Ah… okay.”

“Oh, right. Senior Sister, I need to go to the hospital first.”

“Ah? What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let me…” Lin Ling spoke in a panic. Before she could finish speaking, Xing Jiuan interrupted her grudgingly.

“Not me.”

“Then who is it?”

“Qi Lei.”

“That subordinate of yours?” Lin Ling did not know much about Qi Lei. She had only heard Xing Jiuan mention him a few times.

“Yes. I’ll go visit him for a while. I’ll go out with you after that.”

“Okay, I’ll take you there. Which hospital is he at?”

After Xing Jiuan told her, Lin Ling drove them over.

University A was not far from the hospital, but it was not close either. Furthermore, there was a traffic jam today, so it took them almost an hour to get there.

Lin Ling did not follow Xing Jiuan to the ward.

“Go ahead. I wouldn’t know him even if I tagged along. Just come back down soon. I’ll be using my phone in the car.”

“Okay..” Xing Jiuan alighted from the car and went off.
