Chapter 328 Lu Mingfei's Straight Ball
Although Chen Wenwen was only preliminarily diagnosed with lupus erythematosus, the school's routine procedures were immediately initiated.

Most people have encountered this situation when they were in school: a student in the class or school had a major change in their family, and the school would call on everyone to raise funds.

In fact, there is a paradox here. For families who can afford to send their children to Shilan Middle School, they certainly don’t need this little bit of donation.

But usually, such private aristocratic schools would raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single fundraising event. And the students were often willing to donate a few hundred dollars. There were even many people who donated over a thousand dollars to Chen Wenwen.

For ordinary public schools, if a student gets seriously ill, it may be a huge hurdle for the family, which may require all their savings to overcome.

But the donations that public schools can raise are often just a drop in the bucket because most of the students who study in public schools do not come from wealthy families. They do not lack love, but only ability.

This is a social phenomenon caused by the imbalance of resources.

However, Chen Wenwen's family returned all the donations. As mentioned before, those who can afford to attend Shilan Middle School are at least middle-class families. Chen Wenwen's father said that he is a Christian and would feel guilty about accepting donations when it is not necessary.

Then the school called on everyone to take turns visiting Chen Wenwen in the hospital to make her feel better so that she could get better faster.

But Lu Mingfei knew that lupus erythematosus was an autoimmune disease that could not be completely cured but could be controlled.

Things like visiting the sick don't actually require any arrangements; it all depends on everyone's spontaneous organization.

After all, Chen Wenwen was a little famous in the school. She was not only the school beauty, but also the head of the literature department. There were many people she interacted with. So in the first few days, Chen Wenwen's ward was quite lively. There was a circle of people around the bed.

Lu Mingfei had no way to move, so he just put the bouquet and fruit basket aside and left with Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao.

But as time went by, fewer and fewer people came to visit Chen Wenwen, even Zhao Menghua rarely came. Liu Miaomiao also had to prepare for the Christmas party performance, so she could only come occasionally when she was free.

……

Chen Wenwen stared out the window in a daze.

The heavy snow was drifting down and piling up on the roof of the building like ice. The snow scene outside the window was as bright as day.

The snow on the road was like a brocade, and the paths walked on the snow were winding. This year's winter came very early. It has been snowing for many days. Today was the heaviest. Even the weather forecast gave a yellow warning. The wind made the windows rumble, making it difficult for people to sleep. The heavy snow was spread on the road like white flocs.

Now the wind has stopped and the night has slowly darkened. Only snowflakes are still falling quietly, just like the quiet hospital ward at this moment.

She pulled the white quilt with her hands, wanting to take a nap when the wind stopped. Before she lay down, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open with a creak.

"It's snowing so heavily today that my coat is almost soaked."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself as he shook off the snow at the door. When he pushed the door open, he saw Chen Wenwen lifting the quilt and preparing to lie down.

"Hey, Chen Wenwen, do you want to rest?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Then I'll put my things down and leave."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just sat for too long and wanted to lie down for a while... Lu Mingfei, you sit down."

Chen Wenwen propped herself up and sat up again. Lu Mingfei gently closed the door of the ward, skillfully took out some withered flowers from the vase on the bedside, replaced the water and put in new flowers.

During this time, Chen Wenwen just tilted her head, her eyes drooping like drizzling rain, and watched Lu Mingfei's every move quietly.

Only after changing the flowers did Lu Mingfei sit down beside Chen Wenwen's bed.

"Why are you here today when it's snowing so heavily?" Chen Wenwen asked softly.

"Don't I come here every day?"

Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Why, President Chen doesn't welcome me? Should I leave now?"

Seeing that Chen Wenwen was not in high spirits, Lu Mingfei wanted to make a little joke to liven up the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wenwen thought he was unhappy, and immediately became anxious. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing Chen Wenwen waving her hands in front of her chest in her hospital gown, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that Chen Wenwen was easier to tease than Liu Miaomiao today, and she took a joke seriously. Maybe patients are more sensitive?
He was just about to say that he was just joking and asked Chen Wenwen not to take it so seriously.

But I saw Chen Wenwen had lowered her head, her slender fingers tightly grasping the back of her face, and she pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm actually very happy that you can come to see me."

Chen Wenwen's words made Lu Mingfei stunned for a moment. This sentence was actually quite ambiguous. Generally, if a girl says to a boy, "I'm very happy that you can come to see me," there is often a little bit of affection behind this sentence.

But Lu Mingfei knew that there was no messy ambiguity in Chen Wenwen's words. She just wanted to tell Lu Mingfei:

I'm actually very happy that you come to see me, so I don't mean to unwelcome you.

"Actually, Miaomiao wanted to come see you today, too."

Lu Mingfei calmly changed the subject: "But the Christmas party is coming soon, and Miaomiao has to practice hard during this period and can't get away, so let me apologize to you on her behalf. The bouquet of flowers just now was given to you by Miaomiao."

Lu Mingfei pointed to the flowers in the vase.

Chen Wenwen looked in the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger, then nodded and smiled:
"You don't have to be so polite. It's almost the end of the semester, and everyone has a lot of homework to do. Plus, it's snowing heavily these days, so it's a hassle to come here. Lu Mingfei, you don't have to come to see me every day."

"Really? Then I really won't come tomorrow?" Lu Mingfei said jokingly again.

"what?"

Chen Wenwen was stunned when she heard this, and her heart suddenly wavered.

What she said just now was actually just a subconscious politeness.

Of course, she did feel embarrassed that Lu Mingfei came to see her every day. After all, she and Lu Mingfei didn't have any special relationship, they were just friends.

But friendships can also wear out. For example, she is very happy that Deng Zhuoyin can visit her once or twice a week.

And the school was so far from the hospital. Even if Lu Mingfei didn't come to see her, she could understand.

But in her heart... she actually looked forward to Lu Mingfei's arrival every day, because this was one of the few times she could chat with her friends.

Chen Wenwen's eyes flickered and her expression became a little depressed for a moment. Lu Mingfei knew that Chen Wenwen was a little sad.

She has always been this kind of girl. Although she is sensitive, her emotions are easily revealed on the surface. Sometimes you can tell what she is thinking just by looking at her face. But when she expresses herself, she likes to be roundabout and has never learned to refuse directly.

"Chen Wenwen, do you want me to come and see you tomorrow?" Lu Mingfei sighed, determined to correct Chen Wenwen's awkward personality.

Pitcher Lu Mingfei threw a straight ball to Chen Wenwen.

"What...what..."

Chen Wenwen froze, startled by Lu Mingfei's sudden question. She was stunned for a long time and didn't swing the bat at this straight ball.

"Why hesitate so long?"

Lu Mingfei stared at the girl's panicked almond eyes: "Just tell me what you think. If you want me to come to see you, I will come tomorrow. If you don't want me to come to see you, then I won't come tomorrow. You should have a good rest for a day."

"me……"

"Answer quickly, three, two, one..."

"miss you!"

Chen Wenwen bit her lip, her pretty face flushed red, and nodded slightly, answering in a voice as tinny as a mosquito's buzz, "Yes."
