Chapter 27 A Crazy Game

  I got up very early in the morning, quietly made some porridge for Qin Ke Yi in the kitchen, and then went to knock on Qin Ke Yi's door. It was strange that I knocked for a long time, but there was no reaction inside. When I pushed open the door, I found that Qin Ke Yi's bed was neatly arranged, and she had already left early. Yesterday, Qin Ke Yi was still in a daze, but today she surprisingly got up very early, making me worry if her brain was damaged. So, after hastily eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, I rushed to school.

  This morning's class was advanced math, and just as I had walked into the classroom, a male teacher with a build like a large toilet followed closely behind, living up to the saying "enemies meet on a narrow road". Due to my deep-seated opinions about his teaching attitude and character, I adopted a non-violent non-cooperative attitude, consistently refusing to attend his class. As a result, unfortunately, I failed his class last semester. So, I finally understood that one's arm cannot twist the other's leg, and very reluctantly returned to his classroom this semester.

  This man has a characteristic of being enthusiastic and passionate about his work. Every time there are five or six minutes left before class, he would walk into the classroom and start chatting enthusiastically with the girls in the front row, especially when talking about his new book. Sometimes, even after two or three minutes of class had started, he still couldn't bear to part with them. Whenever a girl asked him questions about advanced math, his first sentence was always "Have you read my book?" This made us think that his book might be a specialized tool for solving higher math problems, but later on, during a whole-class introduction, we found out that his book mainly explores university students' ethics and moral character, as well as lifestyle issues. He even warned the boys in class that if they didn't have a high level of ideological awareness, they shouldn't casually flip through his book, or else they would treat it like a yellowed sex education manual. This naturally made me associate his book with Li Hongzhi's "Zhuan Falun". Both books can make men with low moral character become infatuated.

  I don't know what necessary connection there is between his book and the math problem the girl asked, but I deeply felt the difference between intellectuals and the rich from his behavior. The rich seduce female college students with copper-smelling banknotes, while knowledgeable university teachers seduce female college students with fragrant books to deceive them.

  According to his boasts, one of the main selling points of his book is its avant-garde thinking, with many views that are difficult for young people like us to accept, which has also affected the sales of his book. However, just a few minutes after saying this, when he and we were discussing university students' love affairs, he confidently and solemnly assured us that he was suggesting to the relevant departments that universities should ban university students from falling in love, because it would affect their studies and be detrimental to our ideological growth. As a scholar who cares about the country and the people, he has the right and duty to create a "pure" ivory tower for us, and claimed that this issue had troubled him so much that he had been unable to sleep for several nights. After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for this teacher who cared so deeply about our university life, wondering if he would be shocked and turn white-haired overnight if he were to hear the widely-circulated regulation allowing in-school marriage one day.

  As I walked out of the teaching building after class, I was just about to call Qin Ke to ask if her condition had improved when I saw her and another girl walking towards me. When she saw me appear in front of her, she looked very surprised.

  "Has your cough gotten better?" I asked with concern, at which point the girl next to her tactfully walked away, leaving just me and Qin Ke Yi. But when Qin Ke Yi heard my words, she didn't say anything, only nodded slightly with a red face, which made me feel suspicious in my heart.

  "Has the fever gone down?" Qin Ke'er still didn't speak, only nodded, but I noticed her face seemed even redder. Suddenly I realized she was holding her breath to cover up her coughing, so I deliberately chatted with her about this and that, watching as her face slowly changed from deep red to a purplish color. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and bent over, letting out a loud cough.

  "Come on! Why aren't you coming? Your lung capacity isn't small!" I said, while gently patting Qin Ke Yi's back.

  "You!... Cough, cough... Bastard!... Cough, cough!" Qin Kaiyi cursed me while coughing. I took the opportunity to touch his forehead and found it was still as hot as last night. So I pulled up his wrist, "Let's go! Come with me to the hospital for an IV drip!"

  "No! I'm not going! Let me go! I hate getting shots! I'm not going!" Qin Ke yelled, trying to wriggle free from my grasp.

  "Hurry up! Who gets sick and doesn't go see a doctor?! Be honest!!" I pulled Qin Ke harder.

  "Ah! Not so hard! It hurts!" Qin Ke cried out in pain after I used more force, and she struggled even harder, finally forcing me to use my killer move, biting her hard. I subconsciously let go of her hand.

  "Don't be so ungrateful! I'm doing this for your own good, and you're still biting back at me!!" I yelled at Qin Ke, disregarding the people rushing to and fro after class had just ended. At that moment, she stood opposite me, her face red with anger as we glared at each other, before turning around to leave.

  "Stop right there!!" I took a step forward, grabbing Qin Ke Yi's arm again, but she shook me off violently. She stood still with her back to me.

  "Are you going or not!?"

  "Don't go!" Qin Ke turned around and said to me very firmly.

  "I'm asking you again! Are you going or not?! Young people tend to act impulsively and often don't consider the consequences, I hope you think it through carefully!"

  "Oh no! You're threatening me? I'm not going, no matter what! Ask me a hundred times, and the answer is still no!" Qin Ke raised his voice again, responding to me with determination.

  "Alright! You asked for it! Don't blame me!" I flashed Qin Ke Yi a sly smile, and just as she was bewildered, I suddenly bent down, wrapped my arms around her waist, and hoisted her onto my shoulder. Then, I headed towards the school's side gate. At this point, we quickly became the center of attention in the campus, with everyone who passed by stopping in their tracks to stare at us in shock. Qin Ke Yi was going crazy on my shoulder, shouting and screaming, her two hands pounding against my back non-stop, while her two legs were kicking wildly, causing one of her shoes to fly off. So, I had no choice but to awkwardly squat down to help her pick it up.

  At this time, a foreign teacher from our school was walking towards me, saw the farce of Qin Ke Yi and I, a pair of deep blue eyes with piercing green light. I nodded my head in friendship, smiled and said "oh......she......is......mygirlfriend!yingagame!" The foreign teacher's eyes widened even more after hearing my awkward English, seemingly muttering to himself "oh......name！socrazy!" Then he looked at us again with a surprised gaze, turned around and walked towards the teaching building.

  Qin Keyi was getting more and more out of control on my shoulder, and I was gradually feeling exhausted. Although Qin Keyi, who is 1.72 meters tall and weighs only 102 pounds, was being carried by me with one shoulder, she was still struggling wildly, which was quite a workout. After walking for over a dozen steps, I decided to put her down and take a break at the same time. I also thought that Qin Keyi would agree to go get vaccinated with me out of consideration for her image as a campus beauty queen. After all, it's not very glorious for a beautiful girl like her to be carried on someone's shoulder and wandering around campus.

  Maybe it was the physical exhaustion, and when I put Qin Ke Yi down, my movements weren't standard enough. Plus, Qin Ke Yi's mood was urgent when she got off my shoulders. The two reasons caused Qin Ke Yi to sit directly on the ground with a thud after jumping off my shoulders without standing steadily.

  So I hurried forward, wanting to help Qin Ke Yi up, but unexpectedly Qin Ke Yi once again roughly shook off my arm, sat on the ground with her hands around her knees, and slowly tears flowed out of her eyes.

  "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I asked with a concerned tone, and Qin Ke Yi's tears were like a catalyst that made the warm elements in my heart rush to the top. Seeing Qin Ke Yi's tears, I really wanted to go up and give her a hug. Qin Ke Yi stubbornly turned her head to one side and roughly wiped away her tears with her hand.

  "Don't cry, get up first. What's the point of sitting on the ground?" I tried to help Qin Kei up again, but just as my hand touched her arm, she suddenly raised her fist and punched me.

  "Get out! You always bully me! Every day you bully me! Even when I'm sick, you still bully me!" Qin Ke Yi shouted at me while crying and punching my body with her fists. In this era that advocates for "abstinence education", the students' minds are prone to spreading obscene thoughts, as if "those who are benevolent see benevolence, those who are licentious see licentiousness". When many students in the past heard Qin Ke Yi's word "bully", their first reaction was to look at us with surprised eyes and then whisper to each other, often with a sly smile on their faces. Although I could understand Qin Ke Yi's original intention, the passersby's understanding ability is limited after all. Thinking that one day while strolling in the campus, suddenly a figure flashes before my eyes and points at my nose, saying "beast" would make my heart tremble. So I decided it was necessary to end this scene as soon as possible.

  "Alright, stop crying. Do you want everyone in school to be talking about us tomorrow?" I grabbed Qin Ke Yi's hands that were hitting me randomly and whispered to her ear. After hearing my words, Qin Ke Yi calmed down a lot, wiped away her tears, looked around and found that there were indeed many passersby staring at us. She then said to me, "Give me back my shoe!" So I handed over the shoe she dropped, but Qin Ke Yi snatched it from me fiercely, ready to put it on.

  "Ah! It hurts!" Qin Ke suddenly cried out softly as he was putting on his shoes.

  "What's wrong?!"

  "What's wrong! It's all your fault! My foot seems to have twisted just now!" Qin Ke said harshly to me.

  "Let me take a look!" I said, lifting up Qin Ke Yi's injured foot and taking off the shoes and socks she had just put on. Having been in contact with basketball since primary school, I have accumulated some experience with ankle sprains, a typical case of "long illness makes a good doctor". Qin Ke Yi's foot was indeed sprained, with a large swelling at the ankle, and based on my experience, although it wasn't too serious, it wasn't too optimistic either.

  "It seems like not going to the hospital is no longer an option!" I said with a smile, helping Qin Ke Yi put on her shoes and socks, which earned me a white eye from her. I slowly helped Qin Ke Yi up, patted the dust off her skirt, and supported her as she tried to take a few steps. As soon as her injured foot touched the ground, her whole body began to fall, and I quickly wrapped my arms around her, at which point the perverted thoughts in my head also started to spread.

  "No, it hurts!" Qin Ke said with a strained voice, and sweat had already begun to trickle down her forehead. I then put Qin Ke's arm around my neck, and used my other hand to support her waist, accompanying her as we carefully made our way towards the side gate of the school.
