food poisoning

food poisoning

Shen Muwei ultimately won the badminton match, taking first place, although she struggled somewhat in the latter half of the competition.

Because at the time, she was facing a girl from a sports academy whose specialty was badminton.

The two were evenly matched in terms of strength. During the match, Shen Muwei could clearly feel an invisible pressure, which forced her to concentrate and devote herself wholeheartedly to the game.

She did win in the end, but she couldn't guarantee she would win again next time, because her opponent's ability was not to be underestimated.

On the day the competition ended, Shen Muwei was greeted with cheers as she received her certificate and gold medal from the school.

With the midterms approaching, Xiang Zhixing became busy and couldn't find time to watch her match. It wasn't until after the match that Shen Muwei checked her phone and discovered that Xiang Zhixing had sent her a congratulatory message after the game.

Shen Muwei smiled and replied with a thank you, then asked him how he knew he had won the award.

He replied: "I watched the live stream on campus."

So despite the delay in the live stream, he became the first person to send her a congratulatory message when he learned that she had won in the end.

As the weather gradually cooled down, Zhao Ranzhu went to work part-time, and Qian Eryun accompanied her to the competition. The two ate something casually in the cafeteria and then returned to their dormitory.

Shen Muwei put her phone on the table and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Zhao Ranzhu shouted in the group: "No matter what, we have to celebrate Xiaowei's championship. When I get off work, we'll order barbecue to celebrate!"

When Shen Muwei came out of the bathroom, her skin still damp, Qian Eryun was already asking her what she wanted to eat.

She dried her hair and said, "Order whatever you like. My taste is similar to yours. It's on me today."

Qian Eryun immediately sent the message to the group chat, and Zhao Ranzhu said that she had to come back quickly after class so she could catch this hot meal.

Shen Muwei's hair was short. She didn't use a hairdryer. After drying her hair for a long time, it was almost dry, but still damp. One side of her hair was attached to her face, and the other side was tucked behind her ear, revealing a fair and rosy face.

She remembered that Xiang Zhixing had always been her sparring partner, which was both commendable and hard-working, so she felt that he should also get a share of the late-night snack. Considering that he also had a roommate, she sent Xiang Zhixing a message to ask if anyone was in his dorm.

Xiang Zhixing replied that she would be going back to her dormitory soon.

Shen Muwei opened the food delivery app, ordered everything in the store, and bought enough for four people based on the boys' appetites. She left Xiang Zhixing's phone number and address.

The takeout arrived first in the girls' dormitory. Qian Eryun went downstairs to get it, and less than five minutes after arriving at the dormitory, the two of them were unpacking the boxes and taking out all the meat skewers, placing them on the table.

Cumin played its biggest role, while chili powder and chopped green onions were responsible for enhancing the appearance of various meats. The whole house was filled with a wonderful aroma, so fragrant that Qian Eryun couldn't resist picking up a skewer of grilled gluten to enjoy.

"It's so delicious!"

After saying that, she took out her phone and started taking pictures. She planned to send the pictures to Zhao Ranzhu separately to make her envious.

After taking ten photos and sending only two, I received a voice message from Zhao Ranzhu: "Wait for me! I'm downstairs!"

Qian Eryun smiled and prepared to share the news with Shen Muwei, but when she looked up, she found Shen Muwei in the corridor, holding up her phone and making a call.

She figured he was with his family, so she didn't disturb him.

However, Shen Muwei on the balcony was not on the phone with her family.

Shortly after her dorm food delivery arrived, she saw on the app that Xiang Zhixing's food delivery had also arrived.

Xiang Zhixing imagined that she would ask him in a surprised tone why he ordered takeout for himself.

But the truth is, he fell silent after learning the reason why Shen Muwei ordered takeout for him.

The atmosphere on the phone wasn't very friendly.

That's all.

For some reason, the call channel became awkward, and Shen Muwei felt a tightness in her chest.

"Then throw it away." She said this defiantly and then blocked Xiang Zhixing.

She stood on the balcony, breathing heavily, realizing she couldn't continue like this. After taking a deep breath to calm her anger, she turned and went back into her dormitory.

She wasn't going to let someone like that affect her mood or the mood of the people who were important to her; today was a good day to begin with.

They ate heartily and sang occasionally. Even acquaintances from the next dormitory came to congratulate Shen Muwei on her victory.

Dorm 604 was like another world of happiness.

However, the next day, the three of them were admitted to the school hospital due to food poisoning.

When the doctor asked what everyone had eaten, they all knew there was something wrong with the squid from the night before. It tasted very different from usual, but at the time, they believed that a little dirt won't hurt, so they still ate it.

The result was that the three of them sat in a row receiving intravenous drips.

Shen Muwei felt a little dizzy, as if she were hallucinating. She turned her head to Qian Eryun, who was also feeling dizzy, and said:

"Am I hallucinating? It looks like I'm seeing Xiang Zhixing."

Qian Eryun said, "That should be true, because I also had hallucinations and saw him."

Zhao Ranzhu, who was standing to the side, had the mildest symptoms. She hadn't eaten much since she noticed something was wrong last night. She patted the two of them on the head and said, "What nonsense! It's just Xiang Zhixing... and his roommate... Xiaowei, they didn't eat from the same takeout place as us, did they?"

Shen Muwei: "..."

Shen Mu felt a little guilty.

Xiang Zhixing was pale, his thick eyelashes pressing down on his eyes. He didn't look at Shen Muwei, but sat down next to her. His three roommates followed him and sat down.

Shen Muwei gently and slowly moved her left finger, which was still attached to an IV drip, to the very edge of the small table. She silently turned her head to the side.

Didn't I tell him to throw it away...?

His roommates knew Shen Muwei, but they didn't know that this was what Shen Muwei called it. Seeing them there, they whispered among themselves:

Shen Muwei silently turned her head to Qian Eryun, pretending that nothing had happened.

Zhou Chengming was probably still a bit dizzy when he saw Shen Muwei there. They weren't that close, and they hadn't exchanged more than a few words. He suddenly called out to her, "Hey, did your dorm get food poisoning from that barbecue place too?"

Shen Muwei had no choice but to face it.

"Yeah, haha..."

“We all need to be more careful from now on. That place isn’t clean, so we shouldn’t keep eating there. Whoever ordered from there should go and give it a bad review, or we can go to the owner’s place together.”

Feeling increasingly guilty, Shen Muwei reached up to scratch her chin, instinctively using her left hand. The moment she raised her hand, a shocking red stain appeared in the otherwise clear IV tubing.

Xiang Zhixing was quick; he grabbed her hand, which was already some distance from the table, and pressed it down without making a sound. His warm palm did not withdraw in time.

The temperature suddenly dropped sharply today, bringing a chill to the air, like early winter. My hands got colder and colder as I put them outside while receiving the IV drip.

Shen Muwei was taken aback. Before she could ask anything, she heard him frown slightly, but there was no impatience in his voice. His tone was clearly reassuring.

"Don't move."

She blinked her big eyes, looking somewhat bewildered. Her heart seemed to skip a few beats, but it wasn't obvious and was quickly masked by the normal rhythm of her heartbeat.

It was clear he was feeling very unwell; his lips were dry, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was leaning back in his seat, making his frail appearance even more apparent.

I guess he was also suffering from the effects of late-night drug addiction, and probably didn't sleep well last night.

He withdrew his hand without making a sound and put it back in his pocket.

Shen Muwei felt a little dizzy again. Ignoring everything else, she leaned back in her chair to relieve the discomfort and fell asleep in less than two seconds.

When I woke up again, there were many more people coming for IV drips. The small infusion room was so crowded that there wasn't enough room to sit down. A nurse asked curiously, "What did you all eat? How did you all get food poisoning?"

Shen Muwei stared blankly at the bright incandescent light tube on the ceiling. The nurse turned on the air conditioner, and the room was a bit hot. Shen Muwei felt a thin layer of sweat on her back.

She sat up a little, her head still heavy with sleep. Her black coat slipped down, and she instinctively reached out to catch it.

Upon recognizing Xiang Zhixing, Shen Muwei froze for a moment. She saw that Xiang Zhixing was indeed no longer wearing a coat, but only a gray pullover hoodie underneath, asleep with his eyes closed.

She gently unfolded the clothes with one hand and covered him with them before sitting back down.

Zhou Chengming wasn't asleep; he was just resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the rustling of clothes next to him, he immediately opened his eyes. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Shen Muwei was quietly covering Xiang Zhixing with a coat.

He immediately stopped moving and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep. He only opened his eyes again after Shen Muwei sat back down.

A piece of clothing being used to cover up everything, it's all so cheesy, the stench of being in love! A stench!

The school hospital was very busy today, because it wasn't just the students from Shen Muwei and Xiang Zhixing's dorm who suffered from food poisoning. Many other students also suffered from food poisoning after eating at this barbecue restaurant and ended up in the hospital one after another. Some of the more temperamental students even called the food hygiene supervision hotline to protect their rights.

It was already afternoon when the IV drip was finished. The group walked out of the hospital weakly, intending to obediently go to the cafeteria for a light meal.

The boys walked faster, leaving Xiang Zhixing behind them, occasionally glancing back at the girls behind him.

Shen Muwei has a persistent sense of guilt.

Zhao Ranzhu whispered, "Well, why don't you apologize to them first?"

Shen Muwei sniffed, unwillingly.

We'll see.

Someone was yelling at me last night. I told him to throw it away, but he insisted on eating it. Whose fault is it? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I ordered takeout for him and he even ordered the wrong thing?

I ate a bowl of porridge at the cafeteria and ordered a few simple stir-fried side dishes that were as vegetarian as they could possibly be.

Nobody had much of an appetite, so they just ate whatever was available.

Just as he was about to leave, Xiang Zhixing walked over from the table next to him.

The others in his dorm ate quickly and left first, leaving only Xiang Zhixing waiting for the girls to eat slowly.

"May I speak with Shen Muwei for a few minutes?"

Zhao Ranzhu and Qian Eryun exchanged a glance and said, "Yes, yes, why not?"

"Xiaowei, let's go back first."

Shen Muwei held the plate without moving. Xiang Zhixing took it from her, but fearing she would leave first, he only said weakly, "Let's go."

Shen Muwei had no choice but to follow.

Xiang Zhixing put the plate in the recycling bin and waited for a while for Shen Muwei to slowly approach from behind.

Tomorrow will likely be a sunny day; the air will be cool, and the deep blue night sky will be filled with stars.

The two walked aimlessly around the campus, neither of them saying they wanted to go back first.

Xiang Zhixing: "I apologize for what happened yesterday."

His sudden remark snapped Shen Muwei out of her reverie.

Although he felt much better, his apology came a little too late. Why didn't he apologize to him last night?

She asked with a hint of anger, "Why didn't you apologize last night? I ordered takeout for you and even ordered the wrong thing! And I didn't know it would cause food poisoning, but I ate it myself anyway. Isn't it too late to apologize now?"

Xiang Zhixing was speechless at her words. After a long pause, he finally said, "Because you blocked me."
