What should I do if I lose my memory after transmigrating into a book?

Chapter 141 Mushroom-Headed Boy

Shen Xi readily accepted Jiang Ci's school uniform. His clothes had the smell of herbs, a faint fragrance. Jiang Ci had suffered a serious illness when he was young, and since he was found after going missing, he often took medicine to take care of his stomach.

From that time on, he basically grew up soaking in medicine.

She had also gotten used to Jiang Ci's scent.

In her stereotype, and for a long time, when she saw Jiang Ci drinking a large bowl of dark Chinese medicine, she would subconsciously think that Jiang Ci was a man who would break at the slightest touch.

The principal on the stage was rambling on and on, only managing to get to the point after a long time.

There are still dozens of key points to cover, and it looks like it will take several hours to talk about them.

Shen Xi pouted, glanced at the stage, leaned back slightly, and whispered, "Look at those leaders sitting under the partitions, they don't get any sun at all. When they get thirsty, they can drink some water and then the next leader can take over. We poor kids can only be steamed in the sun, and we can't even find a substitute to stand in for us."

The girl's delicate, fair face pressed close to his chest. Jiang Ci shifted his position, blocking the sun behind him. His pale skin was almost blinding, a typical porcelain white complexion.

When he heard Shen Xi muttering to himself, he looked up at her with a heavy gaze, then lowered his eyes and said, "This is typical formalism. If this is the case, the company will definitely go bankrupt within three years."

Now that Jiang Ci is in high school, he has started doing business with President Jiang. He can analyze the company's situation independently, and sometimes Jiang Hui will take a few days off and let Jiang Ci chair the meetings on his behalf.

Jiang Ci always manages to pinpoint the flaws incisively.

The efficiency is extremely fast.

Shen Xi glanced at him and thought to herself, "He's definitely got the makings of a business tycoon, treating the school's management like a corporation. He never forgets his business principles, no matter where he goes. Impressive."

Before long, many students couldn't stand it anymore, and they started chattering in pairs, complaining. One person complained, and then many others joined in, and soon, a chorus of complaints rose and fell.

Using Jiang Ci as a shield, Shen Xi secretly peeked behind her to see where Teacher Jiang was. Unfortunately, she ran right into Teacher Jiang, who had a stern face and was staring at her with sharp eyes.

Shen Xi snapped her head back to its original position immediately.

Oh my god, I'm so scared! I'm so scared!

The good times didn't last long. Teacher Jiang walked from back to front and slowly approached Shen Xi's side.

She paused for a long time.

Just as Jiang Ci frowned and Shen Xi was trembling with fear, thinking that Teacher Jiang was about to punish her.

Teacher Jiang slowly began to speak, “This student, please bear with it a little longer. If you feel unwell, just let me know and you can go back to class to rest. This is not a meeting that is absolutely necessary. If you are not feeling well, you can ask for leave and submit a report. I can approve your leave.”

? ? !

Shen Xi's eyes widened. My God, what a conscientious teacher! He's actually taking such a pragmatic approach.

When she realized that the words seemed to be directed at her, she quickly waved her hand and shook her head, saying, "I'm not feeling unwell right now, I'm just a little hot from the sun."

She doesn't want to be treated specially right now. Everyone else is standing tall, and she's not some delicate or frail person.

Teacher Jiang glanced at her with an appreciative look, then walked forward to the other students whose faces didn't look too good, repeating what she had just said to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi watched Teacher Jiang walk away into the distance and couldn't help but admire, "What a good teacher. I'm a little unaccustomed to her normal behavior."

"You may have been exploited for too long, and over time you may have come to believe that this is a normal phenomenon."

Jiang Ci didn't take Shen Xi's words seriously at all.

Shen Xi suspected that even if she said something like "bullshit," Jiang Ci would still respond with a straight face and ask in a serious tone, "Where is it?"

After several hours of torture, the ceremony finally came to an end.

Shen Xi dragged her aching and numb legs and followed the group back.

However, fate is often unpredictable.

Or perhaps the gears of fate have begun to turn.

At the corner on the second floor, a boy rushed down the stairs, his eyes filled with terror, not even noticing the person coming from in front of him. He was going too fast and bumped into Shen Xi, who was going upstairs. Jiang Ci couldn't even block him, and his face instantly darkened. He quickly helped Shen Xi up and looked her over to check if she was injured.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I... I didn't mean to, please take you to the medical room..."

The boy who bumped into someone apologized repeatedly, standing in front with a flushed and embarrassed face. His eyes kept glancing sideways at the building above, as if he was wary of something.

His eyes were red and swollen, as if he would burst into tears at any moment.

"Never mind, it's alright, you can go now."

Shen Xi only felt a burning stinging pain on her arm, but it didn't seem to be a big problem.

But this little boy in front of her, even though she was the one who was bumped into, she had a feeling that if she said she was in trouble the next second, he would really cry in front of her.

Just thinking about it gave Shen Xi goosebumps.

Jiang Ci, however, looked serious as he carefully lifted Shen west's school uniform.

She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath, revealing a pale, bare arm; the upper part of it was bruised and purple.

Shen Xi didn't notice and let Jiang Ci check her over. She didn't think much of it, even though her arm was badly bruised.

Without saying a word, Jiang Ci led her in the opposite direction.

That's the way to the medical room.

Just as Shen Xi was about to say helplessly that it was no big deal, she brushed past the mushroom-headed boy.

Wait a moment! ! !

Shen Xi's gaze suddenly sharpened. She pulled Jiang Ci to a stop and began to look the boy up and down, who was so anxious that he didn't know where to put his hands.

This old-fashioned boy looks kind of familiar.

This...this seems to be Yan Ruo?!

Yes, isn't that Yan Ruo who looked lifeless in that photo?

Shen Xi stopped abruptly, and even Jiang Ci beside her sensed something was wrong. He looked at her with a deep expression.

"Wait a moment, Jiang Ci, I have something to ask him."

Shen Xi quickly grabbed Jiang Ci's hand and turned to look at Yan Ruo.

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

Yan Ruo's face almost shrank into a frown. He stammered, extremely nervous, "I... my name is Yan Ruo."

"Um, which class are you in?"

"Class 10 of Grade 1 is just upstairs around the corner."

Shen Xi found out his class and breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'm fine now, you can go."

Seeing that Jiang Ci's dark expression was becoming increasingly intense, Shen Xi immediately turned around and followed him toward the infirmary.

Jiang Ci didn't say a word until they reached the door of the infirmary.

This shows how angry he was today.

The infirmary was crowded, and the doctor was rather perfunctory. He glanced at Shen Xi's arm and gave her a bottle of oral medication.

"This is ridiculous," Shen Xi thought dejectedly. "Isn't this an external injury?"

Unfortunately, the doctor immediately called the next patient.

Shen Xi then came out carrying the bag of medicine.

Jiang Ci glanced at Shen Xi quickly, then frowned slightly when he saw the medicine bag in Shen Xi's hand.

His voice was cold. "Why didn't the doctor put any medicine on your arm?"

Shen Xi knew she had just angered him, and was now behaving herself. She comforted him, "There are too many people inside. Oh, it's not a big deal. I can still move my arm... Ouch, what are you doing?!"

Shen Xi glared angrily at Jiang Ci's wicked hand. Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ci gently poked her wound.

"This is not a minor injury. Right now it's just a bruise, but it will swell up after a while, and eventually you won't be able to lift your arm or move your hand."

Seeing that she was stubborn and unyielding, Jiang Ci felt a headache coming on. He couldn't help but rub his temples and explain in a deep voice.

Shen Xi clicked her tongue as she looked at the bruise on her arm. Perhaps it was just her imagination, but she felt as if the injured area was really swollen, like a biceps muscle was pressing against her thin arm.

"Let's go to the hospital now." Jiang Ci could also clearly feel that Shen Xi's injury was quite serious.

His eyes were like a black river, unfathomably deep. Shen Xi's wound was too glaring to look at; just one glance at it hurt him more than if he had injured his own arm. It was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

Jiang Ci sent a message and then led Shen Xi toward the school gate.

He glanced at the arm in the hand quickly, avoiding it, and then looked away.

Shen Xi finally calmed down, because she really hadn't expected that a mere bump would cause such a problem.

Your words may harm me!

Jiang Ci was incredibly efficient. The moment he stepped out of the school gate, his driver was already waiting outside. He immediately called his teacher, succinctly explaining what had just happened, and then smoothly requested sick leave. After hanging up, he quickly called the director of a hospital in Yunxiaxiang, explaining the situation and outlining the next steps.

Once outside the school, Jiang Ci made no attempt to avoid physical contact with Shen Xi, and directly... helped her up?

Brother, I hurt my arm, not my leg!

Shen Xi was speechless, but glancing at Jiang Ci's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, she wisely realized that if she spoke up at this moment, she would definitely have no right to speak.

So she remained silent and was helped along like a cripple.

Skipping the tedious registration and order process, Shen Xi was led directly into a spacious ward, which contained only one bed.

The doctor in the white coat examined Shen Xi's arm for a while and then asked her to get a CT scan.

The doctor said, "We can't rule out a fracture; we'll know once the results are in."

That's an understatement. Usually, you can't see any problems on the surface, but when the CT scan comes back, it's usually a serious disease.

Shen Xi gasped softly, her mind reeling. She turned to look at Jiang Ci, who was still pursing his lips, incredulously. "I...I've broken a bone. Am I that fragile?"

She was genuinely confused.

When the results came out, the doctor examined it carefully for a long time before making a definitive diagnosis: "It's a fracture. We need to put a cast on the arm to immobilize it."

Shen Xi is truly devastated now.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt to have a cast on."

Shen Xi stared blankly, but soon heard a voice from behind her. She shook her head a beat later, her face full of vicissitudes, and said with a sigh, "It's not because of the pain. I just can't understand when I became so fragile that my arm broke from the slightest touch. If I were to tell anyone, probably no one would believe me."

After all, this is similar to lying to people in the summer by saying, "Look, there will be snow here soon."

"The human body is complex. Some people may fall from the fifth floor and not break their legs, while others may break their bones while running."

Jiang Ci did offer some comforting words.

But his heart wasn't so clear. It wasn't just a slight touch as Shen Xi said; that clueless boy had suddenly bumped into her.

Collision and bump are not the same.

Finally, the plaster cast was applied.

Jiang Ci listened to the doctor's instructions over and over again. When he finally turned back to look at Shen Xi, Shen Xi looked like a half-disabled person, staring longingly at the several bags of snacks on the table. These were the things that the nurse had taken out of the duty room because she thought Jiang Ci was good-looking.

But her arm is not working properly now, and she can't move it to reach the snack.

Jiang Ci casually stuffed the snacks into her hand. He didn't have time to think about this at the time; he was still thinking about Shen Xi taking a CT scan and listening to the nurses methodically explaining the possible scenarios.

Director Jiang was a little worried about Shen Xi having to ask for leave to go home and rest right after the start of the semester, so she simply asked Jiang Ci to take Shen Xi's important textbooks and homework home so that she could slowly start studying on her own using the computer and mobile phone.

Shen Xi was deeply moved. She never expected that the teachers in this small town would have such confidence in their students, believing that they would not play with their phones but instead focus on studying.

Okay, she likes this teacher.

Shen Xi felt like she had truly become a college student, and she started following along with videos found online, along with her books.

Fortunately, Shen Xi had indeed attended high school, and she started doing her homework in her room using her left hand. Both her hands were very dexterous; she had even tried drawing and writing with her left hand as a form of training.

While she was skipping class, Jiang Ci also asked for leave. At first, Shen Xi thought the teacher would never agree. In the end, she didn't know what Jiang Ci said to Teacher Jiang in the office, but he was actually allowed to skip class.
