AAISBMEBF Chapter 21: You Take Care of Him
| Previous | Table of Contents | Next |
“I heard that the army is already eliminating zombies and rescuing people. As long as we stay here, we can wait for them to save us.
When the time comes, if you join the army, as an ability user, you’ll definitely be highly valued. The people you care about will also receive better living supplies.
Look at your classmate in your arms—he's studying traditional Chinese medicine. His pale face isn’t just from throwing up after seeing zombies.
If you leave now, are you confident you can cure him?
Meng Jiangtian, we need you. These rescued classmates need you too. I’m not trying to order you—I just want you to stay and help us.”
The student council president spoke earnestly, full of emotion, with a sincere and persuasive tone.
No wonder he was used to giving speeches—his words were quick, and his reasons flowed one after another.
Meng Jiangtian had initially remained indifferent, but when the student council president mentioned Cui Xisheng’s illness, he hesitated.
Cui Xisheng had refused to let him take his pulse and wouldn’t say what was wrong. His abilities couldn’t heal illnesses, and even though he was trained in traditional Chinese medicine, he was helpless without medicine.
Meng Jiangtian glanced toward the hospital in the distance. He had no idea what was happening there. The zombies probably wouldn’t eat medicinal herbs.
Maybe, like in books, someone had awakened a healing ability. If he went to those so-called major factions, perhaps he could find someone capable of treating Cui Xisheng.
After considering his options, Meng Jiangtian finally withdrew the tornado surrounding him. He coldly looked at the student council president and said, “I can stay and help, but I’ll only save people. Don’t expect me to do anything else.”
“Of course! I’m already grateful that you’re willing to help save lives. We’ll take care of them ourselves.”
“Meng Jiangtian, I apologize. I was too anxious earlier. I absolutely wasn’t trying to order you.” The student council president was overjoyed and bowed deeply at a full ninety degrees.
Cui Xisheng watched the student council president’s delighted expression and couldn't help but find it strange.
In these dangerous times, when everyone feared for their own survival, there was still someone this selfless, dedicated to helping others? That was… odd.
Meng Jiangtian laid his coat on the ground and gently placed Cui Xisheng on it with an unusual tenderness.
Cui Xisheng narrowed his eyes at him.
Being unusually considerate for no reason? This guy must be up to something.
“Stay put. I’m not a zombie—I won’t eat you,” Meng Jiangtian said coldly, frowning at Cui Xisheng’s wary gaze.
Cui Xisheng lowered his head. The dizziness surged again, making him too tired to argue. Leaning against the wall, he wobbled before trying to lie down and sleep.
After watching Cui Xisheng for a moment, Meng Jiangtian turned to Liu Anna and said, “I’m going out for a bit. Take care of him.”
“Me? Take care of him?!” Liu Anna’s eyes widened in shock as she pointed at Cui Xisheng.
This guy was probably her love rival! And Meng Jiangtian wanted her to take care of him? Was this some kind of cruel joke?!
Meng Jiangtian’s icy gaze immediately shot over. Liu Anna instantly realized she had overreacted and quickly adjusted her expression, forcing a smile. “I mean… Cui Xisheng seems sick. I’m not a doctor—I don’t know how to take care of him.”
“You just need to watch him. You don’t have to treat him. I expect him to be in the same condition when I return.” Meng Jiangtian’s expression remained blank as he looked at Liu Anna. Without waiting for her response, he disappeared with a gust of wind.
“Hey, wait—” Liu Anna’s voice was carried away by the wind.
She turned back to look at Cui Xisheng. Cui Xisheng also looked at her.
