Affected by Siberian Cold Air, the Electron Cloud Was Negligible
Ou Ye had a dream, probably a sweet dream.
The images in the dream were blurry; I only felt a warm sensation on my body, as if I were enveloped in the gentle autumn sunshine.
When Ou Ye opened her eyes, she found Shen Qi sitting beside her, watching over her, with sunlight streaming into the office through the glass.
"Hmm... you're back." Ou Ye said, lying on the table, seemingly wanting to sleep a little longer and dream a few more minutes.
Shen Qi took a glass of warm water and placed it on the table. "Drink some warm water, don't work too hard."
"It's nothing." Ou Ye sat up straight, took a sip of water, and was still wearing Shen Qi's coat.
"I'll finish the rest of the SOS research paper; you can take a few days off," Shen Qi said.
"When are you taking the TOEFL?" Ou Ye asked.
"The day after tomorrow."
"After you finish the TOEFL, you'll be in charge of the paper," Ou Ye said. "I can still write a little bit these next couple of days."
"A couple more days won't make a difference." Shen Qi shook his head. "Come on, I'll take you back to your dorm to rest. You need some sleep."
"I'm really fine." Ou Ye didn't leave. "I just got sleepy while writing, and took a nap."
"You have something to say." Shen Qi grabbed Ou Ye's hand and forcibly pulled her out of the office.
This is the second time Ou Ye has held hands with Shen Qi. The first time was in the library when she was a freshman in college, also in autumn.
This autumn, influenced by cold air from Siberia, Electron Cloud were so thin as to be negligible, making the skin-to-skin contact more noticeable.
Shen Qi's warm and strong hand gave Ou Ye a sense of security. She stopped resisting and obediently let Shen Qi lead her away, smiling foolishly.
Downstairs in the girls' dormitory building.
"Mathematics is something we all pursue, but it's not everything in life," Shen Qi said. "Promise me you'll forget about math for the next few days and go to bed before 10 p. m. every night."
Ou Ye: "Oh, then you should focus on taking the TOEFL and GRE."
Shen Qi smiled and said, "I know how. I'm best at taking exams."
"Get a higher score." Ou Ye was conflicted. She didn't want to see Shen Qi fail the exam, but the higher his TOEFL and GRE scores, the greater the chance that Shen Qi would leave China.
"Absolutely, bye-bye, take care of yourself."
There are two TOEFL exams in November, one at the beginning of the month and one at the end.
Shen Qi participated in the exam held at the beginning of the month, and the exam venue was at Yenching University.
Each candidate has a separate cubicle inside the examination center, with a computer and headphones in front of them.
Shen Qi put on his headphones and the exam began.
The new TOEFL uses the iBT (Internet-based Test) format, meaning test takers answer all their questions on a computer.
The test consists of four parts: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, each worth 30 points, for a total of 120 points.
Shen Qi came prepared and completed all the questions relatively smoothly.
TOEFL scores will be released in 8-10 business days. Test takers can check the results on the Ministry of Education's website.
"It's not difficult."
Shen Qi walked out of the examination room with ease, in a rather pleasant mood.
Just then, Shen Qi's phone rang. The caller was Yu Man, a sophomore majoring in the Mathematics Department and Ou Ye's roommate.
"Hello, Yu Man." Shen Qi answered the call, a vague sense of unease creeping in.
Yu Man shouted anxiously into the phone, "Shen Qi! Come to our dorm quickly! Ou Ye is dying! I don't know what to do, it's just the two of us in the dorm!"
"Stay in your dorm and don't move, I'm coming right away!" Shen Qi hung up the phone and ran towards the girls' dormitory.
Fortunately, the journey was short, and Shen Qi arrived at Ou Ye's dormitory building within two minutes.
"Boys are not allowed upstairs!" The building manager, an older woman, blocked Shen Qi's way.
"Someone has died!" Shen Qi didn't have time to explain. He forced his way up to the 6th floor and into Ou Ye's bedroom.
Ou Ye was lying unconscious on the ground, her face pale and motionless.
Yu Man burst into tears, "Ou Ye... she... she... suddenly collapsed. I don't know first aid, I didn't dare touch her, so I could only call you."
"You did very well!" Shen Qi knelt down beside Ou Ye, put his finger to Ou Ye's nostrils, and found that she was still breathing, albeit weakly.
Shen Qi's cheek was pressed against Ou Ye's chest; thankfully, her heart was still beating.
Shen Qi immediately picked up Ou Ye and quickly scanned the dormitory. He saw that Ou Ye's laptop was open on her computer desk, with several pages of white paper next to it filled with mathematical symbols.
"I told you to rest, why aren't you resting!" Shen Qi shouted anxiously and with heartache, carrying Ou Ye out of the dormitory. Suddenly, he turned back and shouted to Yu Man, "Find Ou Ye's medical records and bring them, along with all her medications, to Yanda Hospital!"
The nearest hospital to the dormitory building is Yenching University Hospital, which is located on the Yenching University campus.
Shen Qi initially determined that Ou Ye was overworked, so he took Ou Ye to the emergency room of Yanda Hospital and handed her over to the emergency room doctor.
"She won't die, will she?" Shen Qi asked nervously.
"He was brought in just in time, and his life is not in danger." The emergency room doctor gave Ou Ye emergency treatment. "This male student, please leave the emergency room and wait outside. Don't interfere with our work."
Shen Qi was restless outside the emergency room. After a while, Yu Man rushed to the hospital and met up with Shen Qi.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Shen Qi asked.
"Ou Ye went to bed very late last night, no, it should be early this morning. This day, after I finished class and returned to the dormitory, I found Ou Ye asleep on the computer desk, so I gently nudged her, wanting her to go to bed so she wouldn't catch a cold. But as soon as I pushed her, she fell over like a piece of paper..." Yu Man recalled the incident with lingering fear.
"I knew it..." Shen Qi Conjecture it too; Ou Ye had stayed up all night writing her research paper and collapsed from exhaustion.
"Where is Ou Ye's medical record?" Shen Qi asked again.
"The medical records weren't found; she probably didn't even bring them to the dorm." Yu Man shook her head, unzipped her bag, which was stuffed with various medications. "I brought all the medicine from Ou Ye's desk and drawers; it's all here. Who could be so heartless as to force Ou Ye to stay up all night to finish her thesis?"
"It was me who unknowingly put pressure on her." Shen Qi felt extremely guilty. He took Yu Man's bag and took out Ou Ye's medicine bottle by bottle and strip by strip.
Shen Qi categorized Ou Ye's medicines into two types: those he recognized and those he did not.
Amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are common antibiotics.
Motherwort granules and spleen peptide oral solution are medications that regulate the endocrine and Immune System, combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Shen Qi's Mom is an internist, and he recognizes common medications even if he hasn't taken them before.
However, there is one type of drug that Shen Qi cannot determine which type treats which disease.
This unknown drug, Ou Ye in an unlabeled small vial, appeared as a white pill.
Shen Qi took two small white pills as samples, wrapped them in a tissue, and put them in his pocket.
He also has connections in the medical field; identifying the specific ingredients of the small white pill requires the assistance of medical professionals.
At this moment, the emergency room doctor came out and said to Shen Qi, "The female student inside is suffering from neurasthenia due to overwork. Her body is also very weak, and she has insufficient qi and blood. Our task as emergency room doctors is to save her life. Specific treatment requires a specialist. I suggest sending her to the internal medicine department for a comprehensive physical examination."
