Chapter 57 I'm just taking advantage of your kindness.

"Okay!" Shen Luo's mouth didn't keep up with his brain. When he realized what Qu Jie had said, he froze, "You... what did you just say?"

Mo Chi looked up at the two of them, feeling that he was being too bright, so he got up and left the ward, leaving the space to Shen Luo and Qu Jie.

Mo Chi walked out of the ward and saw Chu Rou and Huang Shan whispering in the ward corridor. He suddenly felt superfluous.

He slowly moved closer, trying to hear what the two were talking about, and vaguely heard the name Shen Yan.

Mo Chi stroked his chin, thinking about Huang Shan's reaction when she saw Shen Yan yesterday. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Could it be that Huang Shan has taken a liking to Shen Yan again?

He has to help with this!

Mo Chi walked up behind Chu Rou and heard Chu Rou say, "I don't know what Brother Shen Yan likes to eat, nor do I know his hobbies. He has only been back in the country for two days, so I don't know him very well."

“None of that matters,” Mo Chi suddenly said, startling Chu Rou and Huang Shan.

Seeing that it was Mo Chi, Huang Shan patted her chest, glared at him, and asked, "Then what's the most important thing?"

"As far as I know, Brother Shen Yan is not married, has no girlfriend, and has never even been in a relationship!"

Huang Shan's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Really?"

Chu Rou nodded, "It's true, Brother Shen Yan said it himself."

"That's great!" Huang Shan gripped Chu Rou's hand tightly. "Sister Chu Rou, how about I go after Brother Shen Yan?"

"Huh?" Chu Rou's expression was complicated. "You don't like Shen Luo anymore? You're going to find someone else to pursue?"

“Hehe,” Huang Shan chuckled dryly, “It’s Qu Jie who likes Shen Luo. I was with her when she was pursuing Shen Luo.”

"I'm serious about Shen Yan this time," Huang Shan said, making a vowing gesture. "I swear if I'm not serious, may I get hit by a car as soon as I step outside..."

Chu Rou quickly covered Huang Shan's mouth, "Shan Shan, don't make promises you can't keep."

Shen Luo had just been in a car accident, and Chu Rou couldn't bear to hear such vows.

Mo Chi crossed his arms and carefully examined Huang Shan. Actually, Huang Shan was quite good-looking, a little taller than Chu Rou, with big eyes, a small nose, and two dimples when she smiled. She was a lively and sweet girl.

She and Shen Yan are quite a good match; he's determined to be the matchmaker.

“Huang Shan, Shen Yan is a lawyer, and your current profession is a bit far from his.”

Huang Shan and Qu Jie are both from the School of Economics and Management at the University of Science and Technology of China. Qu Jie is an only child and she plans to go back to take over her own company after graduation.

Huang Shan has an older brother. She didn't feel any pressure or have any particular ideas. She just wanted to be closer to her good friend, so she applied to the University of Science and Technology of China's finance program along with Qu Jie.

Huang Shan lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Then I'll switch to law. I can still make it in my second year."

"No way?" Chu Rou exclaimed in surprise, "It's not easy to switch majors at USTC, and studying law is very tough. Shanshan, are you serious?"

“I can help you change your major,” Mo Chi assured Huang Shan before she could speak. “I have connections at the school. Once you’ve made a decision, don’t give up halfway.”

Huang Shan nodded, "I'll go back today and cram on my legal fundamentals."

“Sister Chu Rou,” Huang Shan said with a warm gaze, “when I’m studying hard, you must keep an eye on Brother Shen Yan for me. If there are any unusual signs around him, you must let me know.”

“Okay…” Chu Rou was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Huang Shan to make such a big decision in order to pursue Shen Yan.

The three returned to the room and saw Qu Jie sitting next to Shen Luo, their hands clasped together. One side of Shen Luo's face was swollen, while the other side was as red as a monkey's bottom.

Chu Rou shook her head in disgust. So ugly!

Mo Chi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that the two of them had confirmed their relationship quite quickly.

Huang Shan was shocked. She stared at their clasped hands. "Holy crap, Qu Jie, you're fast! You didn't force me, did you?!"

Qu Jie frowned. "It's not really that; it's just taking advantage of someone's kindness."

Chu Rou: "..."

Huang Shan: "..."

Mo Chi chuckled softly, pushing up his glasses. He felt that Shen Luo really needed a girlfriend like Qu Jie.

Shen Luo is like a fool when it comes to relationships; only a strong girlfriend like Qu Jie can tame him.

Shen Luo kept her lips tightly pursed and didn't say a word, like a shy young wife.

Mo Chi cleared his throat. "Rou Rou, since Shen Luo has a girlfriend to take care of him, let's go back to the company. We still have a lot of work to do."

Chu Rou glanced at Shen Luo, then at Qu Jie. She was quite satisfied with this sister-in-law. "Alright, then we'll be going now."

"Xiao Jie, call me if anything happens."

Qu Jie coolly agreed.

Huang Shan didn't want to stay and be a third wheel, and besides, she was in a hurry to go back to study law. "Then I'll go first. Qu Jie, let's keep in touch by phone."

Only Qu Jie and Shen Luo remained in the ward.

Shen Luo glanced at Qu Jie discreetly. Qu Jie had short hair, was peeling an apple with her head down, revealing her slender neck, high nose bridge, and indifferent expression, making it impossible to discern her emotions.

"Qu...Qu Jie," Shen Luotian said, her lips slightly dry, "what do you like about me?"

Qu Jie stopped what she was doing, looked up at Shen Luo, and said, "You're handsome, have good character, and are obedient."

What are your plans after graduation?

"Huh?" Shen Luo was taken aback by the question; the topic changed too quickly. "I'm preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, and I want to do research and development work after I graduate with my master's degree."

Qu Jie hummed in agreement. "I'll be returning to D City after graduation, so you should apply for a university in D City for your postgraduate studies. I'll try to graduate a year early so we can go back to D City together."

“City D?” Shen Luo hadn’t considered leaving City C; his parents and sister were there. “I need to discuss this with my parents.”

Qu Jie narrowed her phoenix eyes, "Do you want to break up with me?"

Seeing that Qu Jie's expression was off, Shen Luo quickly shook her head, "No, no, I'm applying to the D City University of Technology. Their computer science program is pretty good too."

"Hmm," Qu Jie said, satisfied, and continued peeling the apple.

She cut off a small piece of apple and held it to Chen Luo's lips. "Open your mouth."

Shen Luo obediently opened his mouth, and Qu Jie fed him an apple, which was a little sweet!

Qu Jie fed Shen Luo half a meal, then ate the other half herself. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands, found a towel, wet it, and returned to Shen Luo's side.

She gently wiped Shen Luo's face with a towel, and Shen Luo blushed again.

Qu Jie covered her swollen half of her face with a towel; the other half was still quite pretty. She touched Chen Luo's lips with her index finger; they were soft. She wondered what it would feel like to kiss him.

She acted on her impulse, bending down to kiss Shen Luo's lips.

The feeling of being electrocuted!

Qu Jie nodded lightly and left. Shen Luo's eyes widened, his Adam's apple bobbing. He grabbed Qu Jie's arm, "You...you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Qu Jie looked at him, her expression still cold, but a blush had crept onto her cheeks. "We're a couple, what's wrong with a kiss!"

“No,” Shen Luo said, holding onto Qu Jie tightly, “why did you kiss me so perfunctorily? You just touched her.”

Qu Jie: "..."

Qu Jie wasn't one to hold back. Hearing Shen Luo's words, she bent down again, placed her hands on the hospital bed, and kissed Shen Luo's lips.

It was their first kiss, and they explored each other, the sweet taste of apples lingering on their lips.

"Xiao Luo, Mom made you some bone broth." Shi Jingman, who left in the morning, rushed over again at noon.
