SWNOVELS Chapter 1617
Zhang Xiaolu did not think of any alternatives until she heard Yuan Yuehan’s idea, which she thought was feasible. She flashed a sly smile as she looked at Yuan Yuehan.
“Yuehan, why haven’t I ever noticed how smart you are? This idea is much better than asking Yuanyuan to deliver the gift for us. Besides, if we deliver it ourselves, Yishu will then know who the gift is from. It makes it easier for him to make a choice later, doesn’t it?” Zhang Xiaolu ran her hand through her long hair as she finished the sentence. Then, she continued connivingly, “But I have to say this—if Yuchi Yishu ends up choosing me over you, please don’t try to steal him away from me. We’ve already made a promise with each other that there’ll be no competition and envy no matter who he chooses in the end.”
Yuan Yuehan was disgusted by Zhang Xiaolu’s arrogance and she rolled her eyes silently at her while maintaining a smiley face. “Xiaolu, don’t worry. If this happens between me and someone else, I’ll never give up the man I love to that person. But it’s different with you—you will be my forever be my bestie.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“So, about this plan—when should we do it?”
“We need to first come up with a good excuse; otherwise, all our effort will go to waste if Tang Yuanyuan refuses to invite Yishu out.”
“You’re right. Are there any special occasions coming up?”
All of a sudden, Yuan Yuehan beamed as an idea came to her. “Oh, Xiaolu, isn’t your birthday around the corner?”
Zhang Xiaolu was puzzled. “My birthday?”
“Yes. Your birthday is coming up on the 5th of next month. How could you forget about your birthday?”
Zhang Xiaolu had a tinge of emotion as she looked Yuan Yuehan in the eye; she looked down and softly said, “Had you not reminded me, I would’ve really forgotten about it. Thank you for remembering my birthday.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re besties after all.” Yuan Yuehan came up to Zhang Xiaolu and hugged her. “I guess we’ll wait until your birthday next month to ask him out then?”
“Yes. We can even invite him to celebrate my birthday. It would be better if we could also get a picture together.”
Zhang Xiaolu began to daydream.
After running a few laps on the field, Tang Yuanyuan was sweating profusely. Strangely, she felt that something was not right as she had not been feeling well while she was running. It was as if she could hardly catch her breath.
No. I have to push myself.
She then clenched her teeth and began to speed up.
One last lap. After this, I’ll grab a bite in the kitchen and get some rest.
Just a little more.
Push yourself a little more. Just a few more minutes. You’re almost there. These were things Tang Yuanyuan would tell herself every time she felt like giving up. And it worked all the time, including today.
All of a sudden, she felt that her surroundings had become quiet and turned dark. Before she realized it, she had passed out.
Bang!
Just like that, Tang Yuanyuan passed out on the field.
Just a couple of minutes ago, a few boys who were playing basketball on the field were still talking about her.
“Look; that fat girl is here running again.”
“She’s so determined. We play basketball here every day and we see her here every day. I suppose she should’ve lost a lot of weight by now, right? If everyone who wants to lose weight is as determined as her, obesity will soon cease to exist.”
“What do you guys think—do you think she’s just trying to lose weight, or is she trying to catch our attention? Is there someone from our team that she’s attracted to?”
“Hahahaha.”
They broke out into laughter.
Suddenly, one of them yelled, “What’s going on?”
The rest of them turned to the direction where Tang Yuanyuan was—the determined girl had just passed out on the tracks.
“What the f*ck? Did she pass out?”
These boys had been paying attention to Tang Yuanyuan because of her fair complexion, pretty looks, and her determination.
So, upon discovering that she had passed out, they quickly ditched the basketballs in their hands and ran toward Tang Yuanyuan.
“Do you know what’s wrong?”
“I suppose she overexerted herself. Low blood sugar level.”
“And this hot weather certainly doesn’t help. Let’s send her to the school clinic.”
The tallest guy in the group helped her up right away by carrying her in his arms while the others followed him. Together, they quickly sent her to the school clinic.
“Is she heavy?”
“You son of a b*tch. This is an emergency. How can you still be asking this dumb question? I’ll whack you.”
“Ha. It’s low blood sugar. She will wake up in no time after getting some rest.”
At the school clinic, the doctor was startled when this group of boys rushed into the clinic.
“Doctor, this girl passed out all of a sudden on the field when we were playing basketball,” one of the boys commented.
“Bring her over and let me have a look,” the doctor responded.
At this point, while unconscious, Tang Yuanyuan’s face and lips turned extremely pale and she was drenched in a cold sweat.
After a checkup, the doctor remarked, “She has probably had a heatstroke and her blood sugar level is low. You guys can wait outside; there’s not enough air circulation with all of you in here.”
Just like that, this group of boys was chased out of the school clinic.
“Let’s leave her here and get back to basketball.”
Smack!
Someone smacked him on his back the moment he finished his sentence. “Are you a moron? We have just saved her life. We should at least wait until she wakes up and tell her who we are so that she can get to know us.”
“What for?”
“Now I know why you are still single. Girls like her who are so pure and simple-minded are hard to come by these days. Getting to know one means getting a chance to date one. Do you understand?”
“He’s right. Even though she’s alone right now, she definitely has roommates. They are all young girls.”
Tang Yuanyuan found herself in the school clinic when she woke up, and it was already dark outside.
She saw a doctor, who was a gentle lady.
“Little girl, you are finally awake.”
Feeling somewhat confused, Tang Yuanyuan sat up with the support of her arms.
“Hello. May I know what happened to me?”
“The boys from the basketball court brought you here. They said you passed out on the running tracks. I did some checkups and found that you had a heatstroke and your blood sugar level is low.”
Heatstroke and low blood sugar level?
Could it be because of the hot weather and the overexertion?
“Please remember that losing weight is a gradual process, and there is no quick solution when it comes to it. Don’t try too hard that you end up harming yourself.”
Tang Yuanyuan thought she was not trying to find a quick solution, and there had not been any problems in the past when she exercised. It was probably the hot weather and the overexertion that caused her to pass out today.
At this juncture, Tang Yuanyuan let out a smile. “Thank you, miss. I feel okay now.”
“Get some more rest and drink this glass of glucose before you head back,” the doctor recommended.
“By the way, miss, where are those people who sent me here?”
“They waited for you outside for a long time, but you weren’t awake yet. In the end, they left.”
In Tang Yuanyuan’s heart, she decided that she had to thank them tomorrow.
