He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

The school doctor listened to Butler Lin’s complaints and gave his opinion based on his life experiences. “It’s normal for young people to have their own worries. However, neglecting self-care because of others is a foolish act.”

Xi Ning pondered over the school doctor’s words. Did he mean that I refuse to eat because of a love relationship problem? Xi Ning’s mouth twitched and he said, “I didn’t neglect self-care because of others.”

The school doctor was prescribing medicine for him. He was writing in his notebook while asking Xi Ning, “Then why don’t you eat well?”

Xi Ning’s voice became quieter. “I have no appetite……”

Butler Lin had a helpless expression on his face after hearing Xi Ning’s words. The school doctor suddenly gave a “Huh” and carefully rechecked the results of Xi Ning’s examination.

“How long has this situation persisted?”

Butler Lin replied, “It’s been more than half a month.”

“Xi Ning’s pheromones are normal, his weight has not dropped significantly and he looks fine……” The school doctor thought for a while and asked Xi Ning, “Do you feel sick every time you finish eating?”

The school doctor was obviously thinking about anorexia, Xi Ning said cautiously, “No. I know I was wrong and I promise to eat on time in the future.”

If he was suspected of having anorexia, the Xiao family would definitely treat his illness. However, his illness could not be cured and this would only be a waste of time and energy.

After hearing this, the school doctor felt that other symptoms were not obvious, so he nodded and did not ask further. He prescribed some medicine to Xi Ning and said, “I have limited equipment here. If you still feel unwell, you can go to the hospital to do an examination. You can go home and have a good rest.”

Butler Lin thanked the school doctor and went to pay the medical bills. He then asked Xi Ning when he returned, “Second young master, do you want to go back now?”

Xi Ning hesitated, but agreed. “Okay.”

Song Zhou came back late with a glass of warm water. Butler Lin saw him and said, “Are you the one who sent the second young master to the infirmary? Thank you.”

“You are welcome.”

Song Zhou handed the glass of water to Xi Ning. He pulled a stool and sat down. “Are you feeling better now?”

Xi Ning nodded and whispered, “Thank you.”

“Second young master, I will go and pack your things first.” The driver was still waiting outside. Butler Lin glanced down to look at his watch and left the cubicle.

After he left, Song Zhou asked Xi Ning, “Why don’t you eat well?”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. Xi Ning didn’t know how much he had heard and hoped it was not much. “…I just….I just don’t like eating.”

Song Zhou took the glass from Xi Ning and turned it gently in the palm of his hand. “What about breakfast and dinner? Besides, whatever that you want to eat you can just ask your servant to make it.”

Song Zhou lowered his head. Xi Ning felt nervous since he couldn’t see Song Zhou’s expression.

He barely convinced Song Zhou to exchange lunches with him with an excuse. Now that Song Zhou found out that he basically does not eat breakfast and dinner, maybe Song Zhou was thinking how strange he was.

Xi Ning didn’t know why he felt a bit guilty. Perhaps because he had just eaten the cake that Song Zhou bought for him in the morning.

Xi Ning did not answer. Song Zhou raised his head to meet Xi Ning’s gaze. “But the food I give to you, you have eaten it.”

The food that was exchanged during lunchtime at noon, the egg fried rice and fried potatoes that he made last time as well as the small cakes that he bought in the morning.

Other than that, Xi Ning has never eaten the lunch he brought himself and he didn’t even take a sip of the soup.

Song Zhou’s voice was soft and it sounded like he was muttering to himself. It seems like he is guessing and inferring Xi Ning’s words and actions during all this time.

Xi Ning felt more guilty. Although Song Zhou could not have guessed the real reason for his actions, it was true that he approached and used Song Zhou so that he could eat well.

Song Zhou looked at Xi Ning for a while and suddenly said, “You can only eat the food that I give to you?”

Xi Ning was so shocked that he almost couldn’t maintain his expression. He pretended to be puzzled. “What?”

Song Zhou got up and put the glass in his hand on the cupboard next to the bed. He then bent over towards the bed and approached Xi Ning. He gently brushed Xi Ning’s forehead with his other hand and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, I will help you…..”
