"You are a very kind girl."

Xia Che shook the washed vegetables, placed them on the cutting board, then looked around and picked up a knife to chop them.

"I'm nowhere near as good as you say..."

Jiang Yu's pretty face flushed slightly, and she even burned her hand.

That's really strange...

Jiang Yu never reacts this way when others praise her.

But Xia Che was the only exception.

His mouth seems to possess some kind of magic, easily stirring up his emotions.

but……

Jiang Yu looked up. She was very perceptive, so she immediately noticed the deep weariness on Xia Che's brow.

It seems that Xia Che arrived so late because he had indeed encountered trouble.

Even though she was so tired, she was still willing to cook for herself without uttering a single complaint.

"You have never claimed to be gentle, but your every word and action inadvertently interprets what gentleness is. You are gentleness itself."

Jiang Yu cupped her face in her hands and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"By the way, what's the deal with that weird guy you mentioned?"

Xia Che thought for a moment. Jiang Yu's home had now been transformed into a planned development zone with his help, so the person who came to inform her of this must be a staff member, right?

Since they are staff members... why would they act strangely?

"A guy named Li Junyang came to find me. He even said he went to the same school as us. But I don't like this guy. He's so arrogant, his eyes practically stick up to his forehead. What a show-off!"

Jiang Yu spat. Li Junyang had really messed with her, and now Jiang Yu genuinely hated him.

"However, this show-off guy's grades are actually pretty good; he's in Class 1. Although my grades have improved thanks to your tutoring, I'm not sure if I can get into Class 1 in the upcoming tests..."

Mentioning grades, Jiang Yu's face immediately turned sour again. Even with her improved grades, she wasn't confident she could get into the top class.

Moreover, Xia Che's grades are so good, what if the two of them break up?

Jiang Yu secretly observed Xia Che. Although he couldn't change anything, Jiang Yu had already unconsciously come to regard Xia Che as his pillar of support.

It's as if no problem in the world can stump Xia Che.

"Don't worry about your grades. As long as you perform normally, you can get into Class 1. I guarantee it."

Xia Che paused slightly as he chopped vegetables, then forced a smile.

His heart sank.

Li Junyang actually came here...

This scumbag is truly omnipresent.

Although Xia Che already knew the hidden rules of the comic world and couldn't prevent the male and female protagonists from meeting, hearing Li Junyang's name from Jiang Yu's mouth still made Xia Che feel disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.

It has nothing to do with Jiang Yu; it's purely because Xia Che himself dislikes Li Junyang.

But with his own intervention, he has already taken the lead over Li Junyang and completed those things that were quite important to Jiang Yu. He is so far behind in coming now.

Xia Che didn't believe he could cause any more trouble.

"Really?"

Jiang Yu's eyes sparkled; her initial worries vanished the moment Xia Che confirmed them.

Since Xia Che said he could definitely do it, then I really can!

"Really, when we get to Class 1, we'll still be deskmates."

Xia Che smiled and put the chopped vegetables into the pot one by one.

"Yay!"

Jiang Yu had no objections, and her previously uneasy heart immediately calmed down.

She is actually someone who is very afraid of changing her environment.

But as long as Xia Che is around, the shift change, which was nothing short of a deadly poison to Jiang Yu before, becomes acceptable.

Anyway, she doesn't care about anyone else.

As long as Xia Che is by my side, that's enough.

...

Xia Che moved very quickly, perhaps because he had done it many times, which increased his speed.

As dish after dish was served, Jiang Yu, who was already starving, didn't care about anything else and ate with gusto, her chopsticks moving like a whirlwind.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

Xia Che took a few bites and then put them down. He was still thinking about how to deal with Li Junyang. With his mind preoccupied, he couldn't eat.

Although he had confidence in Jiang Yu, Li Junyang had already set his sights on her. In a situation where someone was scheming against someone who wasn't, even he could fall into their trap.

One must be wary of such a despicable person.

"tasty!"

Jiang Yu didn't hold back her praise: "You could be a chef, open a restaurant, and crush Seattle!"

"That's ridiculous..."

Xia Che was amused and shook his head with a smile.

"That's all the truth."

Jiang Yu patted her round belly and sighed contentedly. Indeed, being able to eat her fill is the happiest thing in the world, bar none.

With her stomach full, Jiang Yu's mind started to clear. She suddenly remembered the strange situation that had occurred when she woke up. She pursed her cherry lips, looked at Xia Che, and asked cautiously, "Actually... there's something else, but I don't know how to say it."

"What?"

Xia Che paused for a moment, then snapped out of his reverie. Seeing Jiang Yu's hesitant expression, his heart leaped into his throat.

Could it be that this scumbag Li Junyang has gotten into some kind of trouble again?

"It's just... I feel like I've regained feeling in my legs."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yu decided to tell him everything that had happened to her.

"So that's what it was... I thought... Never mind."

Seeing that the matter had nothing to do with Li Junyang, Xia Che breathed a sigh of relief, touched his nose, and then smiled, "So what about you? What are your thoughts?"

"Of course I'd be happy! If my leg could really recover, that would be wonderful. I'd give anything for it, but... is that really possible?"

Jiang Yu was so nervous that even her eyelashes were trembling.

What people fear most is having hope only to be disappointed.

Over the years, Jiang Yu has visited many hospitals with her family and met many so-called medical experts for her leg, but without exception, none of them could do anything about it.

After so many disappointments, hope has returned, but Jiang Yu is like someone who has been bitten by a snake once and is now afraid of ropes for ten years, finding it hard to believe.

Why is it impossible?

Xia Che smiled at Jiang Yu, then paused, carefully choosing his words before continuing, "I know what happened to you might be a little hard for you to accept, but..."

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that your leg is about to recover."

"From now on, you are a normal person, and you can say goodbye to those days."
