Chapter 41: Hypoglycemia Attack

“Next, run three laps around the drill ground.
After that, you can rest.
Those not feeling well can run slower, but be careful.”
“Attention, everyone!
Left turn!
Ready… go!”
At the drill sergeant’s command, everyone in the formation uniformly turned and began to run.
Su Cheng, at the very back of the line, looked up at the high-hanging morning sun, felt slightly dizzy, and pulled down the brim of her cap.
Even though she couldn’t see the sun in her line of sight, Su Cheng still felt lightheaded.
Thinking it might be due to lack of sleep, she patted her head, forcing herself to wake up.

“Orange, why are you hitting your head?
What’s wrong?”
Lin Shiyue didn’t understand Su Cheng’s action.
She moved closer to Su Cheng, asking in a low voice.
Su Cheng quickly shook her head, glancing at Lin Shiyue: “Nothing, just a little dizzy in the head, so I’m patting it to clear my mind.”

“Ha… Is that so?”
Lin Shiyue thought for a moment, then spoke again.
“If you’re really uncomfortable, you can tell the drill sergeant.”
Su Cheng waved her hand, her tone firm: “Don’t worry, I’m fine.
Running three laps is no problem, I’ll just be a bit slow.”
Lin Shiyue smiled faintly, seeing the earnestness on Su Cheng’s face.
Indeed, she couldn’t see anything abnormal, so she relaxed a little.
Although Lin Shiyue could run faster, she deliberately slowed her pace to match Su Cheng’s.
The air echoed with wave after wave of footsteps.
More and more people were running on the track, including Gu Xiya.

“Hello, Classmate Su, we meet again.”
Gu Xiya’s voice came from the other side.
Su Cheng turned her head and met Gu Xiya’s gaze.
“Classmate Gu, you run quite fast!”
Su Cheng said with a surprised tone.
She had been half a lap ahead of Gu Xiya just moments ago, but in no time, Gu Xiya caught up to her, which was beyond Su Cheng’s expectation.
Gu Xiya glanced at Su Cheng, then at Lin Shiyue beside her, and finally her gaze returned to Su Cheng.

“I usually have a habit of running in the morning to maintain my figure.”
Su Cheng nodded understandingly: “So that’s it, no wonder Classmate Gu has such a good figure.”
As she said this, Su Cheng’s eyes secretly glanced at Gu Xiya’s rising and falling chest.
Even loose clothing couldn’t hide her figure.

“Hehe, it’s all from practice.
I’ll go ahead.
You take your time, and don’t forget to have breakfast together later!”

“Okay.”
Receiving Su Cheng’s response, Gu Xiya immediately picked up speed, running three to five meters away in the blink of an eye.
This speed was no less than that of an average boy.
Su Cheng hadn’t even had time to sigh when the sharp gaze beside her pierced her skin, causing a faint pain.

“What’s wrong, my dear class monitor?”
Su Cheng turned her head, smiling wryly to meet Lin Shiyue’s slightly displeased gaze.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
‘Who told Gu Xiya to specifically mention having breakfast with her?’

“When did you two arrange to have breakfast together?
Tell me honestly.”
Lin Shiyue’s tone was calm, yet carried a coercive meaning.
She wouldn’t let Su Cheng off the hook until she explained clearly.
Su Cheng wiped the sweat from her forehead, cleared her throat, and said: “Just when we parted ways earlier.
You can come along too, it’s fine.”
Lin Shiyue felt surprised, letting out a light hum: “No, I’m not going.
I don’t want to be a third wheel.”
Su Cheng gave a wry smile, not knowing what to say.
After running a few meters, she finally spoke.

“Everyone’s classmates, there’s nothing wrong with having breakfast together.
Why would you be a third wheel?
Relax.”
Lin Shiyue’s calm eyes turned strange: “Then I ask you, am I just your classmate?”
The first thought that came to Su Cheng’s mind was: ‘You’re not allowed to ask!’
But she didn’t dare to say it out loud, for fear of being relentlessly pursued by Lin Shiyue again.
‘Since you asked, I’ll answer truthfully, and at the same time, end your hopes.’

“Of course, isn’t that right?”

“Shouldn’t I be your best friend?”
Lin Shiyue pressed.
Su Cheng scratched her head.

“Is there a big difference?”

“Of course there is.”
Lin Shiyue answered decisively, giving Su Cheng no time to think.

“Emmm, I don’t know.”

“Hmph, playing dumb.”
Lin Shiyue snorted lightly, speeding up her pace in displeasure.

“Hey, don’t run so fast, clarify what you mean!”
Su Cheng was about to accelerate to catch up, but a sudden wave of dizziness made her unable to pick up any speed.
Her legs felt weak and soft.
Su Cheng’s steps gradually became heavy, and the scene before her began to blur.
She stopped, trying to steady herself, but the dizziness and weakness came in waves, one after another.
Su Cheng opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Lin Shiyue, but found her voice too weak to be heard.

“Shiyue…”
She painstakingly uttered two words, but Lin Shiyue had already run far away, her figure gradually shrinking in the morning light.
At this moment, a blurry figure in front of her seemed to turn around, looking at her.
Su Cheng’s vision grew increasingly blurred.
She felt the world spin, and her legs could no longer support her body’s weight, collapsing uncontrollably forward.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Su Cheng seemed to hear the exclamations of classmates around her, and a hurried sound of footsteps rushing towards her.
‘Is it BBQ time already…’
Su Cheng, losing consciousness, was caught by Lin Shiyue in the last second before hitting the ground, falling straight into Lin Shiyue’s arms.

“Orange… Orange…”
Lin Shiyue, her eyes filled with anxiety and unease, gently shook Su Cheng’s delicate body, trying to wake her.
But no matter how Lin Shiyue called out to Su Cheng, she didn’t respond, her tender hand ice-cold in Lin Shiyue’s palm.

“Calm down, calm down…”
Lin Shiyue calmed herself, analyzing the situation.
The drill sergeant, not far away, also ran over to check on Su Cheng.
Finally, he determined it was fainting caused by hypoglycemia.
At the same time, a similar situation occurred on the other side.

Afterward, Lin Shiyue, escorted by Chen Xi and Sun Xiaochen, successfully carried Su Cheng to the infirmary.
With Lin Shiyue looking after Su Cheng, Chen Xi and Sun Xiaochen naturally had no need to stay.
Su Cheng also didn’t have any major problems, just simple hypoglycemia.
In the resting room, after the infirmary teacher gave Su Cheng an IV drip, she looked at Lin Shiyue, who was sitting by the bed with a worried expression, and showed a faint smile.

“Classmate, don’t worry, she’ll wake up soon.”
Lin Shiyue nodded, her tone heavy and uneasy: “I understand, thank you, teacher.”
The teacher gazed at Lin Shiyue’s uneasy expression, said nothing more, and left, closing the door to the resting room.

In the quiet resting room, only Lin Shiyue and Su Cheng remained.
Lin Shiyue, full of anxiety, stared at Su Cheng’s pale face.
Her originally rosy and alluring lips had also become dull and lifeless, as if covered with white snow.
As the IV fluid was injected, the paleness gradually receded, which was good news for Lin Shiyue.
Watching Su Cheng’s complexion gradually recover, her furrowed brows also relaxed a little.

Lin Shiyue clasped her hands together, silently praying by the bedside: ‘Wake up soon, my Orange.’
A few girls’ voices came from outside the resting room door, attracting Lin Shiyue’s attention.
Finally, the door to the resting room opened again, interrupting Lin Shiyue’s prayer.
Lin Shiyue’s calm eyes held a hidden surprise as she stared at the girl who appeared at the doorway, silently chanting her name…
‘Isn’t she…?’
‘Classmate Gu, as Su Cheng called her?’
