Chapter 326: Let Go Of My Older Brother…

The silhouette in front of her was definitely Qi Xiaoran.

Because it looked familiar.

But this scent of blood…

In the dark, Gu Qingjiu saw the shadow climb into her bed, but she was not as nimble as she usually was.

She felt awfully slow and sluggish.

As if an invisible weight pressed her body down.

When Qi Xiaoran finally laid on the bed, Gu Qingjiu asked softly, “Qi Xiaoran?”

Two seconds later, from the bed came a sound of acknowledgment. “Mm.”

The low tone sounded like a sigh through her nose. It was as if she was holding back something.

Gu Qingjiu could obviously smell the blood when Qi Xiaoran was near her earlier on.

“You… Are you bleeding?”

It was an obvious scent. It wouldn’t be this strong if it was her period…

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qingjiu still asked.

No reply came from her upper bunk.

Since Qi Xiaoran was not replying, Gu Qingjiu could only lay down to rest.

The second morning, when Gu Qian and Chu Lian were was.h.i.+ng up, the shuffling noises they made woke Gu Qingjiu up.

She didn’t have to return to training yet so she simply wormed herself back into her blanket to catch another wink.

When she finally woke up, the sun was already high up the sky. Gu Qingjiu crawled out from her bed and looked towards Qi Xiaoran’s bunk.

She found that Qi Xiaoran was still sleeping on the upper bunk facing the wall.

She was a little shocked.

In the past, Qi Xiaoran was the type to wake earlier than Gu Qingjiu.

Why was she still not awake?

Connecting the dots, with the blood she smelled yesterday, Gu Qingjiu climbed beside Qi Xiaoran’s bed railing and leaned forward.

Qi Xiaoran was facing the wall so all Gu Qingjiu could see was her back.

Looking up, Qi Xiaoran’s pale complexion was reflected in Gu Qingjiu’s irises.

Qi Xiaoran’s skin tone was originally a healthy tan but at the moment, it was sickly pale and her lips were as white as milk.

More importantly, she was sweating profusely.

One look and you could tell that she was having a high fever.

Gu Qingjiu stretched out her hand and placed it on Qi Xiaoran’s forehead, and she actually had no reaction.

Burning hot!

Gu Qingjiu retracted her hand almost immediately and refrained from calling her name.

She probably lost consciousness so she wouldn’t reply even if she called out.

She immediately went down, pulling her hair into a simple ponytail. Without was.h.i.+ng her face, she rushed to quickly get a cold cloth to put on Qi Xiaoran’s forehead.

She had to go to the infirmary first.

It was lucky that both of them didn’t have to partic.i.p.ate in the training. Else, it would probably be much later before anyone discovered Qi Xiaoran’s condition.

With a fever so serious, it definitely should not be dragged any longer.

She went to the infirmary to get some medicine for the fever and observed the situation. If it remained serious, she would report it to the instructor.

There was still a bit of hot water in the bottle so Gu Qingjiu poured some and fed it to Qi Xiaoran who was half-conscious.

She was lucky that she could still swallow water.

Gu Qingjiu used to take care of people with fever, so she was familiar with the procedure.

However, when she was carefully putting Qi Xiaoran’s head back down, Qi Xiaoran who was half-conscious suddenly grabbed Gu Qingjiu’s arm.

Following this action, Gu Qingjiu saw that her waist, which her arm had previously blocked earlier on, had a large patch of blood.

Gu Qingjiu frowned.

“You guys… let go of my older brother… let go of him!”

At the same time, Qi Xiaoran seemed to be crying out in a weak voice.

The content of her words caused Gu Qingjiu to pause.
