The next evening, Yuan Yuan came to the hospital to take care of her. Ye Wenyu told Yuan Yuan to go home, but she seemed to be Lin Tingfeng's yes-man, obeying his words as if they were sacred decrees. No matter what, she resolutely refused to leave. Ye Wenyu had no choice but to give up.

At first, Ye Wenyu couldn't sleep, feeling uneasy and worried that Lin Tingfeng would break his promise and come again. But he was very trustworthy and didn't come when he said he wouldn't. So Ye Wenyu was relieved and fell into a deep sleep.

On the fifth day of her hospitalization, the test results came back. Ye Wenyu had not contracted tetanus, and her high fever had subsided. In addition, the X-ray results showed that although her leg had become infected with bacteria again, there was no bone damage. The doctor smiled and said, "Stay for two more days for observation, and you can be discharged."

Ye Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, and Yuanyuan was also very happy for her.

After the doctor left for rounds, a fragrance of flowers wafted over, and she heard a familiar voice calling her name: "Wenyu—" Ye Wenyu looked up from the textbook she was reading and saw that Jiang Zhiming had entered the ward at some point. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and carrying a basket of fruit, with his beautiful girlfriend Lin Tingyue by his side.

Ye Wenyu was stunned. She never expected that Jiang Zhiming would find out about her leg injury.

Lin Tingyue wore a shimmering gold dress that reached only to her upper thighs, revealing her long, straight, and fair legs, which were quite stunning.

No matter the occasion, she is always beautiful and stands out in any crowd.

A girlfriend who's like a celebrity.

Jiang Zhiming walked up to Ye Wenyu and handed her the flowers. Ye Wenyu glanced at them. Although it was a collection of various bouquets, including sunflowers, lilies, and lavender, there were also bright red roses, and roses made up the majority. Her heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She didn't look at Lin Tingyue, but she wondered what Lin Tingyue, as his girlfriend, thought about Jiang Zhiming sending her such a bouquet. Her life was already troublesome and complicated enough; she really hoped that Jiang Zhiming wouldn't cause her any more trouble or make any enemies.

After thinking it over, Ye Wenyu politely said thank you and handed the bouquet to Yuanyuan, asking her to put it in the vase on the bedside table.

Yuan Yuan chuckled softly, glanced at Lin Tingyue, and said sarcastically, "Oh, and the red roses are so pretty." Her expression was clearly one of provocation.

Lin Tingyue, who was already in a bad mood, turned pale and opened her eyes to look at Ye Wenyu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed recovering from her injuries. Her pretty face, which had been as radiant as the morning sun, was now much paler.

Ye Wenyu blushed, thinking, "Is Yuanyuan courting death? Does she think things aren't bad enough already?"

Jiang Zhiming's face flushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. However, he didn't take it to heart, and smiled generously, saying cheerfully, "Wenyu and I are good friends. We've known each other since the first day of university. Wenyu, I'm sorry, so when I heard you injured your foot, I came to see you right away."

Ye Wenyu had no choice but to say thank you again.

Lin Tingyue had also controlled her emotions at this time. She smiled slightly and said, "Wenyu, my older brother is so good to you. If I hadn't gone to my older brother's office and seen him sleeping instead of working, which is unprecedented in his life, I wouldn't have known that you were hospitalized with your foot injury."

What? Workaholic Lin Tingfeng is sleeping in his CEO's office? Is it because he took care of her in the hospital room all night the night before last?

Ye Wenyu's heart was beating a little fast.

Lin Tingyue smiled brightly, glanced at Jiang Zhiming, and said to Ye Wenyu, "Wenyu, my older brother has never been so nice to a girl before. He said that you injured your foot and he stayed with you at the hospital all night, so he was too tired to work during the day. When I found out about this, I thought I would come and see you. It just so happens that Zhiming is your classmate, so I invited him along."

Ye Wenyu was stunned, thinking that Lin Tingyue had been so tired from taking care of her. What was Lin Tingyue's true intention in coming to see her after hearing that she had injured her foot? Whether in the previous life or this life, Lin Tingyue had always been enthusiastic in trying to match her with Lin Tingfeng.

Jiang Zhiming was stunned by Lin Tingyue's words, his heart filled with a bitter taste, as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned. He never expected that Lin Tingyue's elder brother, Lin Tingfeng, the president and chairman of the Lin Group, would also care so much about Ye Wenyu. A pang of sadness pierced his heart, and he began to worry, though this worry was indescribable.

He glanced anxiously at Ye Wenyu, thinking that he had to find Ye Wenyu and ask her how she met Lin Tingfeng.

Lin Tingfeng, as far as he knew, was not a good person, and most importantly—

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiming felt a surge of anxiety, as if his heart were being burned by a raging fire.

Lin Tingfeng was still chattering away like a sparrow, saying in rapid succession, "Wenyu, my older brother likes you very much. My older brother is very handsome, and countless women in S City want to throw themselves at him, but he has never been interested in any other woman."

Jiang Zhiming couldn't stand it anymore. His face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Tingyue, why don't you go for a walk? I have something I want to say to Ye Wenyu."

Lin Tingyue froze, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at Jiang Zhiming. She was green with envy; for the first time in her life, she felt dissatisfied with her boyfriend. She slowly said, "But I don't want to go out for a walk. Besides, my older brother and Wenyu are so close, and Wenyu and I are very close." The implication was clear: Jiang Zhiming, watch your words!

Jiang Zhiming's face darkened, and he said coldly to her, "Wenyu has been in the hospital for several days and has fallen behind in her studies. I'm tutoring her in calculus. Do you want to listen too? Do you even understand it?"

Lin Tingyue was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red. She felt like a huge jar of jealousy had been overturned. She pouted and stood there, showing no intention of leaving.

Yuan Yuan laughed. She didn't want the two of them to start arguing in the ward, so she stood up and said, "Oh dear, it's lunchtime. How about this, Jiang Zhiming, you tutor Ye Wenyu, and Tingyue and I will go buy lunch for you. Come on, Tingyue, I don't know what dishes are good right now. You're really good at that." With that, she took Lin Tingyue's hand and walked outside.

Lin Tingyue left reluctantly, and the ward fell silent, leaving only Ye Wenyu and Jiang Zhiming.

Jiang Zhiming glanced at the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping. The ward was as quiet as a mountain valley. He immediately looked anxiously at Ye Wenyu and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you last time, and your foot injury flared up again."
