I'm Done Playing the Lovesick Supporting Role - Chapter 305.2

He looked dazed at first, seemingly unaware of where he was. His gaze wandered around in confusion until he noticed Gu Jingyu sitting nearby.

“Professor Gu… why are you here? Where am I?”

Once the boy regained his senses, he looked around and realized he was in a hospital. As he recalled the events leading up to this moment, a thought seemed to strike him.

Suddenly panicked, he tried to get up and leave.

But he hadn’t eaten anything and lacked the strength. Sitting up was already a struggle.

Gu Jingyu placed a firm hand on the boy’s shoulder, gently pressing him back down. “Your body is in terrible condition. The doctor recommends that you stay under observation for two days.”

The boy opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but hesitated when he remembered Gu Jingyu’s position as his professor. For a moment, he was utterly at a loss for words.

Gu Jingyu seemed to notice the boy’s reluctance to speak but didn’t probe further.

Instead, he raised the adjustable table next to the bed and placed a bowl of thick rice broth in front of the boy. After checking the temperature with his hand, he determined it was just right for eating.

“Here, eat. The doctor said you should stick to light foods for the next few days.”

The boy nodded and shakily picked up the spoon. Slowly, he began eating, taking one spoonful at a time.

As he ate, tears began streaming down his face, falling in large droplets.

He managed to eat about half the bowl before putting it down, unable to finish.

Gu Jingyu frowned slightly. This wasn’t a normal appetite for someone his age.

“Professor… can I repay you for the medical bills next month?”

The boy raised his head, his tears already wiped away. He looked at Gu Jingyu with a hint of apprehension.

Gu Jingyu didn’t mind the money at all. It was clear the boy was dealing with something difficult. Not wanting to press him, Gu Jingyu nodded in agreement.

“Oh, by the way, why don’t you add me on WeChat? That way, you can contact me if anything comes up. I have a class tomorrow, but I’ll come back to check on you afterward.”

He took out his phone and displayed his QR code for the boy to scan.

🌟 Kliraz’s Tidbit

Sharing food reflects deep care in Chinese culture, even today. Offer kindness through small acts. Try saying “I noticed you’re not feeling well. Let me help!” Practical and meaningful!

Imagine a young person ignored at school. Bring them a snack or say “Want to join me?”. Picture a coworker stressed over deadlines. Gently ask “Had lunch yet? Let’s grab a bite”. Thoughtful actions bridge gaps, strengthening bonds with those around us! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) 💕
