Chapter 77: Mother's Only Gentle Moment

  Hearing the commotion, her mother turned around, with tears in her eyes, and rushed over to hug her: "It's okay, it's okay. Mom was so scared."

  Qiao Anyu lay in her mother's arms, reluctant to part. How long had it been since her mother had held her like this? When she was a child, every time she saw Qiao Anyu Nuan snuggled up in their mother's arms, cooing and being fawned over, she too had yearned to throw herself into her mother's arms without restraint. But her mother always pushed her away, saying she had things to do in the kitchen. To her, her mother was forever busy, too busy to spend quality time with her; but for Qiao Anyu Nuan, no matter how busy their mother was, she would always put aside her work to be with her. It was a rare treat to be able to bask in her mother's warmth like this.

  "Mom..." Qiao Anyu called out sweetly and gently.

  "Mom already knows, you just rest well and don't worry about anything else." An Yan stroked Qiao Anyu's cool head with a soft voice for the first time. In the past, Mom's voice was always cold and clear.

  Maybe it's just this once, but at least, Qiao An Yu Liang has a warm memory.

  As expected, after she fully recovered physically, her mother resumed her indifferent and distant attitude towards her, leaving her perplexed: What did I do that is unforgivable to make my mother treat me like this? Even so, my mother still loves me. These few days of meticulous care, aren't they a manifestation of love? Although her tenderness was only shown in the hospital room that one time.

  Perhaps it's because I lacked my mother's gentle love when I was young, that I long for a gentle boy to take care of me. That's why I fell in love with Su Yu Zhe and not Shu Zi Mo.

  Later, Qiao Anyu learned from Gu Sichen that it was Shu Zimo who carried her to the infirmary. When he and the director of the supervisory department almost got into a fight, she fainted. Everyone else was at a loss for what to do, but he immediately picked her up and ran to the infirmary, barely saving her life in time. The doctor in the infirmary said that if low blood sugar coma wasn't treated promptly, either you'd become a vegetable or it would be too late to save you. Regardless of whether the doctor was being alarmist, the fact remained that Shu Zimo had saved her.

  Shu Zimo actually still had such a good heart? This was Qiao Anyu's first reaction.

  It seems I was narrow-minded and misunderstood him. Although Shu Zimo looks like a rascal, he also has his heroic moments. She still remembers how he helped her with the wind so she wouldn't have to work so hard squatting in the horse stance; she still remembers how he spoke up for her, scolding the director of the guidance department; and she still remembers the warm image of his back as she fell unconscious.

  However, Shu Zimo, if you come to provoke me again, I will still ignore our past friendship and continue to fight with you to the end. Just thinking about this, Qiao Anyu was frightened by herself, does she really hate Shu Zimo that much?

  Due to Qiao An Yu Liang's coma, the head of the Discipline Inspection Office was severely criticized by the school leaders, and he himself felt that his dignity had been lost, so he resigned and jumped ship. Shu Zi Mo made up for his mistake, and the school no longer pursued the dispute between him and the head of the Discipline Inspection Office.

  Qiao Anyu Liang rested at home for a few days and then came to school.

  Shu Zimo ran into her, his face was slightly uncomfortable for a moment, but he quickly regained his usual arrogant and overbearing demeanor, saying: "Woman, you're still alive?"

  Qiao Anyu didn't argue with him for once: "Xie Zimo, thanks the other day." He considered Xie his lifesaver, and even though they had argued before, showing some gratitude was necessary.

  Shu Zimo snorted coldly, "It's not that I'm afraid you'll die and there won't be anyone to fight with me, how boring. Besides, I've always been a heroic good fellow who draws his sword to help those in need when he sees injustice. I'm not helping you, I'm helping the weak."

  You've watched too many martial arts dramas. Qiao Anyu was speechless, and indeed, Shu Zimo lived up to his reputation - his mouth was still so sharp.

  Qiao Anyu was worried that there would be more rumors, Gu Sichen explained: "You are cousins, you know."

  "Shouldn't Su Yu Zhe know about it? She was thinking, when Gu Si Cai saw through her thoughts and ruthlessly struck: "The news of you fainting from being punished to stand has already spread far and wide, how could Su Yu Zhe not know? Unless he's deaf.""

  As expected, he still found out. Qiao Anyu was extremely disheartened. Fortunately, Su Yuzhe didn't see the awkwardness and humiliation of being scolded by Director Wang, nor did he see her fainting, which must have been quite unsightly as well.

  Her eyes flashed with Su Yu Zhe's gentle gaze, followed by Shu Zi Mo's furious face.

  Go away, Shu Zimo, don't disturb my thoughts of Su Yuzhe! Qiao Anyu Lian tried to shoo Shu Zimo out of her mind, but he kept barging in and causing trouble. After three or four attempts, Qiao Anyu Lian had no choice but to give up, letting Shu Zimo's face flash back and forth in her mind.

  This incident did not ease the relationship between Qiao Anyu and Shu Zimo, they still quarreled as usual, you don't let me, I don't let you, the two of them were still arguing incessantly.
