Chapter 157: Wang Ying's First Kiss

Seeing this, Ye Qiong felt rather puzzled and quickly asked, "What is wrong with you?"

Naturally knowing that Ye Qiong had caught her acting strangely, Wang Ying replied, "Are you foolish? How could I possibly have the principal's phone number? You are talking absolute nonsense."

Hearing this, Ye Qiong tapped Wang Ying none too gently on the forehead and then said with a cheeky smile, "I must say, you have truly lost your mind out of worry for Zhang Shen! You do not have the principal's number, and neither do I, so tell me, who does?"

"Who does?" Wang Ying naturally asked Ye Qiong.

"Hao Lei, of course! How could our head teacher possibly not have the principal's number?"

Only then did Wang Ying realize that this little girl had beaten around the bush for so long simply to get her to seek the principal's help through Hao Lei.

Both Ye Qiong and Wang Ying knew Hao Lei quite well. Not only had she been their head teacher for four years, but more importantly, they both knew that the romance between Hao Lei and Lu Ming had blossomed precisely thanks to Zhang Shen, resulting in such a happy ending.

Thinking of this, Wang Ying hesitated no longer and dialed Hao Lei's number.

However, the connection took significantly longer this time.

After a dozen seconds or so, a sleepy voice finally came from the other end of the line.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Hao, this is Wang Ying. I am so sorry to disturb you!"

Calling someone in the middle of the night was not only annoying, but at the very least disrupted their normal rest schedule. As a student, Wang Ying naturally had to offer an apology first.

Fortunately, Hao Lei was not a petty person. She knew that given Wang Ying's personality, calling so late at night must mean there was a reason.

"It is fine. Go ahead."

Upon receiving Hao Lei's response, Wang Ying said, "It seems something has happened to Zhang Shen. He still has not woken up yet! I..."

Mid-sentence, Wang Ying clearly did not know how to describe the unimaginable scene to Hao Lei. However, Hao Lei on the other end of the line had taught medical textbooks for so many years and naturally possessed some basic knowledge, yet listening to Wang Ying's vague and unclear words left her feeling entirely uncertain.

Nevertheless, remembering how formidable Zhang Shen's medical skills were, Hao Lei figured this must be something beyond her own ability to resolve. A "savior" quickly flashed through her mind.

"Wang Ying, wait a moment. Go straight to Zhang Shen's dorm right now, and we will be right there!"

With that, Hao Lei hung up the phone immediately because she now had to call Lu Ming and Chen Rong with the utmost speed. After all, as a woman, she might encounter various inconveniences when judging certain situations.

Therefore, the very first thing Hao Lei did after hanging up was to call Lu Ming.

"Hello! Xiao Lei..."

Receiving a call from Hao Lei in the middle of the night naturally left Lu Ming feeling puzzled, but the moment he saw Hao Lei's name, his heart blossomed with joy.

However, Hao Lei quickly cut off whatever Lu Ming was about to say.

"Stop fooling around. Go downstairs right now and meet Wang Ying to head to Zhang Shen's dorm."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Hao Lei hung up abruptly, as she still needed to seek help from a heavyweight figure.

Lu Ming was clearly still dazed by Hao Lei's words, but he would never dare to disobey her instructions. Although he had numerous lingering questions, since Hao Lei had put it that way, it could hardly be a trivial matter.

Consequently, Lu Ming ran downstairs at top speed.

Meanwhile, Hao Lei began dialing the principal's number.

"Hello!"

Actually, before calling Chen Rong, Hao Lei had considered that it might be somewhat inappropriate, but right now, aside from seeking help from the principal, relying solely on herself seemed completely useless.

When the call went through and she heard Chen Rong's aged voice, Hao Lei hurriedly said, "Principal, I am truly sorry to disturb your rest so late. One of the students in our class has suffered a sudden emergency, and I must ask you to come take a look!"

Hao Lei's voice was extremely gentle, as she had no way of knowing whether Chen Rong would be pleased or angered at this hour.

To Hao Lei's surprise, upon hearing the news, Chen Rong immediately asked, "Are you talking about Zhang Shen?"

Hao Lei had not expected the principal to guess it in one shot, but under such a crisis, she had no leisure to explain to Chen Rong and simply replied hastily, "Yes, Principal!"

A shadow flashed across Chen Rong's face. He had never imagined that something could happen to Zhang Shen, let alone a life-threatening situation like this.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Chen Rong's brain was already spinning rapidly to find a solution, while Hao Lei on the other end remained completely in the dark. Knowing that saving a life was as urgent as putting out a fire, and with the principal remaining silent for so long, her heart grew anxious.

"Principal, what on earth..."

Before Hao Lei could finish, her words were "strangled" by Chen Rong's imposing tone.

"Ms. Hao, go directly to Zhang Shen's dorm now. I will be there shortly."

With that, Chen Rong hung up the phone. Having received a definitive reply from the principal, Hao Lei felt somewhat reassured. She quickly dressed and ran all the way toward Zhang Shen's dormitory.

Meanwhile, Wang Ying, who had just hung up the phone in her own dorm, quickly got up and started dressing after receiving Hao Lei's message.

"Xiaoying, where are you going this late at night?"

Watching Wang Ying dress by the dim light of her cell phone, Ye Qiong naturally failed to understand and quickly asked, "Ms. Hao told me to go to Zhang Shen's dormitory."

"What? Asking you to go to the boys' dormitory right now? Are you kidding me?"

Ye Qiong clearly had not expected Wang Ying to rush over to the boys' dormitory at this hour, nor did she have any idea what Hao Lei was thinking. But seeing that Wang Ying was almost fully dressed, Ye Qiong felt a rising sense of foreboding.

"Xiaoying, let me go with you!"

Hearing Ye Qiong's words, Wang Ying immediately turned around, threw her arms around her, and exclaimed cheerfully, "I knew Miss Ye would never abandon me!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Wang Ying planted a kiss right on Ye Qiong's rosy cheek. This caught Ye Qiong entirely by surprise.

"Wang Ying, what are you doing?"

"What is wrong, Miss Ye? Surely this is not enough to repay the deep friendship between us."

Ye Qiong was instantly rendered speechless by this retort.

"Hmph! Don't you dare look down on it—that was my first kiss!"
