Chapter 41 - Love can cure all illnesses.

"XiangXiang!"

Jun screamed as he rushed into the room in a panic. He quickly approached XiangXiang who was still lying unconscious.

"What has happened to XiangXiang?"

Jun asked in a panic. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

"Like I told you in the message. This."

Mr. Ruirui said while showing the red box on the table to Jun. Jun peered into the contents of the red box on the table that Mr. Ruirui showed him with a feeling of nervousness mixed with anger. Angry at the culprits who had disturbed the happiness of his greatest treasure.

"Uwek.."

He almost vomited after seeing what was inside. Jun swallowed his bitter saliva. He got goosebumps.

"Who would do such an immoral thing like this?"

Jun asked in a gloomy tone. He held Mr. Ruirui's hand tightly. His heart was literally torn. He didn't know how long his younger brother had been suffering from the bullying. He really couldn't accept that his younger brother, who was so cheerful and spoiled, had to suffer this fate. First Yee Yen. And now who else was jealous of his younger brother.Why can't they let his younger brother live happily? What sin did XiangXiang commit to make them treat him like this? Jun kicked the table, releasing the anger and disappointment that was bolting in his heart.

Everyone was shocked by Jun's actions. But everyone was silent. Only Mr. Ruirui was ready to comfort Jun by his side. They knew how Jun felt at that moment because they were also similar. The feeling of wanting to kill the culprits who bullied their XiangXiang.

"I will investigate. I will not let this slip. Trust me."

Su Ruan said suddenly. All of Pei's siblings also came with him. Including XinXin and Wu Ya.

"Are there any suspects?"

Mei Lin asked as she walked closer to XiangXiang's bed. Mei Lin stared deeply at XiangXiang's face. "Urghhh....I won't let anyone hurt a child as cute and pure as this just like that. I will find them to the pit of hell" Mei Lin's heart snapped angrily.

JiaJia and XinXin peered at the contents of the red box on the table.

"Urghhhh....disgusting. Kids these days are getting bolder in their actions."

JiaJia said while trying to hold back the nausea in his throat. The musty smell from the box really pierced his nose cruelly. Seeing JiaJia's face that had turned green while holding back his vomiting, XinXin quickly took a towel and covered the red box whose smell became even more piercing with the warmer air in the infirmary room.

XinXin gently caressed JiaJia's back. Trying to calm JiaJia's discomfort. JiaJia's nose is indeed sensitive. So is his throat. There must be no unpleasant smell, he will definitely vomit. That's why he is so strict in maintaining the cleanliness of their dorm.

"Would you like some warm water?"

XinXin asked worriedly. JiaJia shook his head.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. Just sit next to me."

JiaJia said while carving a bitter smile. The musty smell was still stuck in his throat. XinXin agreed. JiaJia leaned his head on XinXin's shoulder. "Urghhhh...I really feel like I'm going to die...when I find out who did this crazy thing, I'll feed them lots of rotten fish until they die. Urghhhh..." JiaJia muttered in his heart.

Mei Lin and Su Ruan could only shake their heads at JiaJia who was already limp like a pregnant woman because of the fishy smell. Mei Lin looked at Su Ruan. "Is it our fault that JiaJia is so weak?" Su Ruan shook his head. "Even if it's true, we will still protect him." Mei Lin nodded. "Of course."

"Ahem! It's impossible that there are no suspects at all. Have you seen anyone suspicious? Especially...a woman.."

Mei Lin asked the boys again. Everyone was silent. They didn't know whether to keep their suspicions a secret or tell Mei Lin who behaved like a mafia boss. Mei Lin glared at Jun. When Jun caught her eye, Mei Lin raised her eyebrows several times.

"Her? No way..."

Jun insists that no matter how much Yee Yen hates XiangXiang, it is impossible for Yee Yen to do something this immoral. He knows Yee Yen's nature very well.

"Who can guarantee that she wasn't involved? You?"

Mei Lin asked sarcastically. Jun was silent. Admitting the truth of Mei Lin's words. But in the tension that gripped him, Jun carved a smile. He was grateful, Mei Lin still loved XiangXiang. He still remember how the three-year-old child who once cried non-stop after waking up from a coma and only stopped crying after being held by ten years old Mei Lin.

"Where did you find this?"

Su Ruan asked after a long silence.

"In XiangXiang's locker."

WenWen said. He looked blankly at the red box. The box was as red as his angry heart. He held XiangXiang's hand tightly. The hand that he didn't let go of even for a moment.

"What? Locker?"

Mei Lin shouted in disbelief. How can this happen. As far as she knows, all students have their own lockers and the locker keys are kept by the owner of the locker themselves. Mei Lin looked at the faces of the boys in front of her. They shook their heads in unison. As long as this case is not solved, everyone is a suspect to Mei Lin.

"Are there surveillance cameras in the locker area?"

Su Ruan asked. All the boys breathed a sigh of relief. Finally they were saved from becoming the main suspect in this case.

"Oh! There is. How could I forget about that. Let me take you to the surveillance room."

Mr. Ruirui said. In the panic just now, they had completely forgotten about it. Su Ruan followed Mr. Ruirui to check the surveillance room.

"We will protect him together. Don't worry."

Mei Lin said softly to Jun who was sitting quietly next to XiangXiang's bed. Jun nodded weakly.

Slowly, XiangXiang opened his eyes. In the blurriness he could see WenWen's worried face. XiangXiang smiled faintly. Now he really felt safe with WenWen. And he forgot that there was a person who was almost crying next to him.

"XiangXiang!"

Call Jun on the verge of tears.

"Any pain?"

Jun asked anxiously as he rummaged through XiangXiang's body. Xiangxiang chuckled as his fingers returned to WenWen's tight grip.

"I'm fine. You're overreacting."

XiangXiang answered while his eyes stared at the red box. WenWen who knew it quickly changed his seat right in front of XiangXiang. Stopping XiangXiang continued to stare at the red box. Now in front of XiangXiang there was only WenWen. XiangXiang smiled. And they forgot that there were many other people who had to look at them with annoyance.

Mei Lin and Jun looked at each other before they smiled too. "He'll definitely be fine. Love can cure all illnesses. This is proof." Mei Lin patted Jun's shoulder and Jun quickly grabbed her hand tightly. Slowly their faces turned red.
