Chapter 94: Thank You, Sir

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The girl who had stood up for Jiaojiao yesterday rebutted, “Xu Jiaojiao’s drawings are a hundred times better than yours could ever be. You’re a grown man, yet you pick fights with a little girl every day. Don’t you have anything better to do?”

The two of them bickered as they walked. Xu Jiaojiao followed at the back of the line, neither explaining nor speaking up for herself.

Mr. Sun turned around to look at her a few times. He had a lot of things to say, but in the end, he gave up.

Xu Jiaojiao was unwell the entire day. There was not a single part of her body that was not in pain. Even her eyes were starting to hurt.

She held on until the sun set. Finally, Mr. Sun could not bear to watch anymore and tried to persuade her. “If you aren’t feeling well, go back. Nothing is more important than your health.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Xu Jiaojiao covered her mouth with her hand and coughed a few times. She shook her head stubbornly. “I’m fine, sir.”

Mr. Sun frowned and took the paintbrush from her hand. “Stop drawing. Your complexion is even worse than it was this morning.”

Xu Jiaojiao did not say anything. She no longer had the strength to retort.

“You must have a fever. I’ll bring you back to town for an IV.” Mr. Sun immediately helped her pack her painting tools.

Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to say, “Please just help me buy some cold medicine. I’ll be fine tomorrow after taking the medicine.”

She did not like needles, and she hate the smell of disinfectant in the clinic.

“Alright, then.”

Mr. Sun instructed the rest of the students to focus on their drawings before leading Xu Jiaojiao back.

He first sent Xu Jiaojiao back to her room and urged her to lie down under the covers. Then, he borrowed a thermometer from the inn owner. He was shocked to see that Xu Jiaojiao’s temperature had already reached 38.5 degrees Celsius.

Mr. Sun hurriedly went to the town’s pharmacy to buy fever medicine and boiled hot water for Xu Jiaojiao to take the medicine.

Xu Jiaojiao was persuaded to drink a full cup of hot water, but she still felt groggy. She whispered, “I’ll be fine after a nap, sir. You don’t have to stay here with me.”

True, it was not appropriate for a teacher to stay in a student’s room for too long. Mr. Sun stood up. “Then you should rest. If you need anything, feel free to contact me.”

Xu Jiaojiao had a splitting headache, but she still thanked him politely.

Mr. Sun walked to the door and grabbed the doorknob to pull it open, but he could not open it no matter how hard she tried.
