"Xiao Jiu, you're awake," Jing Long looked forward towards Nine, "Are you okay?" Nine eyes fluttered open.

Slowly sat up, Nine sent a glare towards which contrasted Jing Long's soft gaze, "Did I ruin my image again?"

Jing Long brought a hand and slapped Nine at the back of the head, causing him to wince, "Hey what did you do that for?" Nine whined while rubbing the back of his head. Jing Long sighed, before bringing his hand to aggressively pat Gao Qingchen's hair, ruffling the strands up.

"Sorry Xiao Jiu," Jing Long gave a small smirk while his hands ran through the strands of Gao Qingchen's hair, "You must have been so scared seeing that dead body... at least you didn't scream as loud and high pitched as last time when we were watching that horror movie with our class-"

This time it was Nine to slap Jing Long on the arm and back away from his friend in disgust, "That's not the point here, why did the school bully, Shi Kai die?"

"Those teachers are really something," Jing Long furrowed his eyebrows, slamming the bed, "One of their students died and they don't even freaking care. Even if it is Shi Kai, people still need to care!"

Nine looks at Jing Long with a raised eyebrow, "I have two questions," he sat up in the comfy blankets of the infirmary and turned left to face Jing Long. Nine put up his index finger, "One, since when did you care so much about other people?"

Jing Long was slightly taken aback, but Gao Qingchen was right. Even when one of Jing Long's classmate disappeared, he didn't show much reaction - now it was some person he hasn't even talked to and was infamous for being a delinquent but Jing Long was talking trash about the teachers - which he usually did - but implied that he did care about Shi Kai's death.

"Uhm... it's because the teachers are stupid and..." Jing Long faded off in his words.

Nine coolly tilted his head, his hair slightly following his actions and brought up his second finger, his fingers creating a peace sign like he was posing for a picture, "Two, who carried me here?"

"Oh, that top student who's really good at dancing rushed over," Jing Long successfully diverted the attention of his unexplained care for the troublemaker of the school, "I tried to carry my bestie myself however this top dancer student insisted on carrying you... his name was Fu Xinbo or something? He kept on saying that you were heavy from too much muscle or something and you were-"

"IN WHAT WAY DID FU LONGFEI CARRY ME?" Nine vigorously grabbed Jing Long by the shoulders, surprising the poor guy.

"Uhm... bridal styl- Hey, Xiao Jiu! Are you okay?" Jing Long looked at a Nine, who buried himself in the comfy blankets, making small high pitched screams. The blankets rustled as Nine flailed his arms around. Ok then...
