Hospital.

Jiang Fei sat by the hospital bed, resting her chin on her hand, lazily tapping her cheek with her fingers, looking out the dark window where rainwater meandered down the windowpane.

His other hand was tightly gripped by Luo Shi on the hospital bed, and he hadn't let go of it since Luo Shi fell into a coma in the car.

It was as if... she was his only support.

"Mr. Luo has a slight fever, but there's nothing dangerous," the doctor whispered to the driver. "It's just that Mr. Luo's legs always ache terribly on rainy days, so we still need to be careful. This is the most vulnerable time for the patient, so it's best to have someone close to him by his side."

“Okay.” The driver nodded hurriedly, then turned to look at Jiang Fei. “Miss Jiang, this is the young master of the Chen family. He’s an old acquaintance of the Xie family. What do you think…”

Jiang Fei glanced at Luo Shi's hand holding hers and smiled, "I'll stay here and watch over things."

The driver breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Only two people remained in the ward.

When Jiang Fei looked at Luo Shi, she was finally able to see his face clearly.

He had a very deceptive face, as obedient as a delicate and fragile beautiful young man, with a sickly porcelain white cheek, peach-red lips, and slightly upturned corners of his eyes, which were always tightly closed.

He's her type.

Jiang Fei chuckled to himself.

[System: What are you laughing at, host?]

"The acting is really good," Jiang Fei thought to herself.

This "porcelain doll," in a "coma," grasped the original owner's hand as if it were her only salvation, making the lonely and helpless original owner believe that she had met a kindred spirit from afar.

He probably even knows exactly how long he'll hold onto it; it won't be so short that people won't have time to savor it, nor so long that people will become impatient.

Judging by the time, it's time to wake up.

Just as I thought that, I gently moved her fingers slightly.

Jiang Fei looked at Luo Shi.

His long, fine eyelashes trembled slightly, then slowly opened. At first, he was confused, then surprised. He quickly shook off her hand and tried to sit up: "How come it's you..."

The excruciating pain in his legs made it extremely difficult for him to get up, and he collapsed back onto the bed in a disheveled state, which didn't seem like an act.

Jiang Fei got up and helped him up: "The doctor said that your legs are unable to bear weight on rainy days and you need to rest..."

Before she could utter the last word, her hand was brushed away: "It's none of your business."

As he spoke, Luo Shi propped himself up and sat up.

Jiang Fei stared at her hand that had been slapped away, pretending to be injured for a moment before taking the medicine left by the doctor and walking to his side.

Because of the leg pain, Luo Shi broke out in a cold sweat, but his favorability rating remained unchanged.

Jiang Fei walked to his legs, lifted the blanket, and was about to roll up his trouser legs.

"What are you doing?" Luo Shi's calm voice came, tinged with coldness.

Jiang Fei looked at him; his favorability rating was fluctuating rapidly, having already dropped to -60.

It's good that it's moving.

At least let her know that although this little cripple was injured because of his dear sister, he still cares about his legs and is... insecure.

Jiang Fei looked at the medicine, then at him: "The doctor said that if you are in a lot of pain, you can use this medicine to relieve the pain."

Luo Shi had already recovered and said in a cold, hard voice, "I'm fine."

As he spoke, he glanced at the sky outside the window, which was already turning a pale white, reached out and grabbed the wheelchair beside the bed, and prepared to get out of bed by himself.

Jiang Fei was about to reach out.

“I can do it myself,” Luo Shi said firmly.

Jiang Fei raised her eyebrows slightly and stood aside watching him struggle to sit on the edge of the bed, supporting himself with his arms as he slowly moved toward the wheelchair.

Her gaze also fell on Luo Shi's legs.

His left leg was run over by a car and amputated above the ankle, leaving his left trouser leg empty, with only his right leg barely providing support. Due to the rainy weather, he couldn't exert much force.

Apart from the private doctor who fitted him with the prosthesis, no one had ever seen Luo Shi's legs.

Including Luo Wan.

The wheelchair made a soft sound.

Luo Shi was already seated firmly in the wheelchair. His arms were trembling slightly from the exertion he had just exerted. His porcelain-white cheeks were flushed, and his eyes held a calculated smugness and amusement as he looked at her.

But when he met Jiang Fei's gaze, he quickly hid his emotions, grasped his trembling hand, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Please help me push my wheelchair."

The stubborn, handsome young man took the initiative to soften his stance.

It's really touching.

Jiang Fei glanced at his unwavering -60 favorability rating above his head, chuckled inwardly, but still showed a hint of surprise on her face. She walked behind him, pushed the wheelchair, and headed outside.

Just as I reached the door, I heard footsteps approaching from afar in the corridor.

Jiang Fei looked ahead and saw a woman in a light yellow dress walking towards her. She was petite and lovely, but her face was a little pale.

She recognized him almost immediately.

Luo Wan.

She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she was pretty. She was a little weak because of her pregnancy.

"Luo Shi, are you alright?" Luo Wan quickly walked up to Luo Shi and asked.

Compared to her previous precise control of her emotions, Luo Shi's tone was much more sincere when facing Luo Wan Shi: "Sister, take care of your health."

A tall figure appeared around the corner ahead, dressed in a black suit and walking towards them. He was handsome, but the menacing look in his eyes detracted from his good looks.

It looks familiar.

Jiang Fei narrowed her eyes, glanced at Luo Shi, took two steps forward, grabbed the newcomer's arm, and said with feigned surprise, "Brother Xie Chi?"

Xie Chi, her "fiancé".

His melodramatic love affair with Luo Wan ruined another girl's life.

Fortunately, his head was empty, not her target. She had absolutely no interest in the child's father.

Luo Wan's expression changed almost instantly.

Xie Chi frowned, and said unfriendly, "You are..."

Jiang Fei smiled and said, "I am Jiang Fei. Grandpa Xie gave me your photo. We..." As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, feigning shyness.

[System: Host, Luo Shi's favorability towards you is decreasing.]

Luo Wan straightened up and looked at Xie Chi, then glanced at Jiang Fei holding his hand. Her eyes reddened, and she suddenly ran towards the exit.

Luo Shi watched Luo Wan's retreating figure, his pale, translucent fingertips trembling slightly.

He was always the one she would abandon at any time, even when he was sick.

"Wanwan!" Xie Chi shook off Jiang Fei's hand and quickly chased after the direction where Luo Wan had disappeared.

Jiang Fei stared blankly at his back for a while before looking away, only to be met with Luo Shi's cold gaze.

The favorability rating dropped to -65.

The next second, Luo Shi was as usual: "So, you are Xie Chi's fiancée." He murmured, as if he were feeling melancholy.

Jiang Fei couldn't help but sneer. He was acting as if he cared about her a lot.

At the same time, the driver came over and looked at Jiang Fei with anxious eyes: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Xie's old illness has relapsed and he was taken to the sanatorium this morning. I have to go there now."

Jiang Fei pondered for a moment.

It seems that this is true. When Grandpa Xie went to the sanatorium, Luo Shi took the opportunity to invite her to stay at his place for a while.

The original owner also chose to leave with Luo Shi. Besides feeling lonely and helpless in Jincheng, and having a slight familiarity and pity for Luo Shi, she also saw the relationship between Xie Chi and Luo Wan and originally intended to let them be together.

However, Xie Chi and Luo Wan's protagonist aura completely turned her into cannon fodder.

As expected.

Luo Shi looked at her and said, "Miss Jiang saved me last night. If you don't mind, I have a spare room where you can stay for a few days."

Jiang Fei frowned: "But..."

Luo Shi seemed not to wait for her response at all, and walked forward with his wheelchair.

His favorability rating kept decreasing by 1, -1...

[System: Host, if the favorability rating drops to -100, the mission will fail.]

Jiang Fei watched Luo Shi's retreating figure for a long time before letting out a faint smile.

From his initial combination of soft and hard tactics to his current strategy of playing hard to get, he has truly put his heart into Luo Wan.

Jiang Fei said softly, "I want to leave with you."

The wheelchair stopped, and the favorability rating didn't decrease further; in fact, it even increased slightly.

Luo Shi paused slightly as he held the wheelchair.

Xie Chi and him.

The first person chosen was him, a disabled person.

It feels pretty good.

He likes obedient people.

It would be even better if it weren't for this woman.

Luo Shi's favorability rating: -60.

...

The Wen family's study.

Wen Yishu was only wearing casual home clothes. The white sweater made his aura even more gentle. His eyebrows and eyes were gentle and without any blunt angles. He was looking at the documents in his hand.

"Knock knock," someone knocked lightly twice on the door.

Sister Li's voice came through: "Mr. Wen?"

Wen Yishu put down the documents, her expression showing no impatience, and said in a clear, gentle voice, "I'm busy."

“I’m sorry, Mr. Wen,” Sister Li said hurriedly. Having been in the Wen family for so long, she naturally knew that Mr. Wen didn’t like to be disturbed when he was busy. “...But, Miss Luo is here.”

Wen Yishu paused in her hand holding the document, then put it down and took a sip of coffee: "Let her in."

The door was gently opened and closed, and Luo Wan stood in the doorway with red-rimmed eyes.

Wen Yishu stood up, walked to her side, and casually protected her, shaking her head helplessly: "You're pregnant, how can you run around like this?"

Upon hearing his gentle words, Luo Wan's eyes reddened even more: "Yi Shu, I... I don't know where to go..." As she spoke, she stepped forward and looked at him earnestly, "We're friends, right?"

Wen Yishu paused slightly, her fingers gently supporting his, and nodded with a quiet smile: "Of course." This was the only way she could continue to interact with him.

Luo Wan pursed her pale lips: "Miss Jiang came to Jincheng. I saw her today. She's so beautiful..." As she spoke, she lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Wen Yishu frowned slightly: "Miss Jiang?"

Luo Wan's voice choked slightly: "The fiancée that Grandpa Xie arranged for Xie Chi back then."

Wen Yishu understood. Looking at the woman in front of her, whose nose was red from crying, she took a tissue and handed it to her: "It's just the older generation being stubborn. Xie Chi likes you, doesn't he?"

“I want to tell myself that too,” Luo Wan looked up, her eyes filled with panic. “I’m so jealous of Miss Jiang. I know I shouldn’t be, but she’s been Xie Chi’s rightful fiancée since birth, and Miss Jiang was personally invited by Xie Chi. I… I like him so much, how could he do this to me…”

I like him that much.

Wen Yishu looked down at the woman's delicate features and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

He had expressed his feelings to her in the same way.

She was different from the girls around him. The girls around him were like delicate crystal dolls carefully protected in a shop window, while she was like a girl outside the shop window, full of vitality.

Now, that vitality has been replaced by sorrow.

"...Yi Shu, Miss Jiang is so beautiful, and she's Xie Chi's rightful fiancée, as acknowledged by Grandpa Xie. I don't know, what am I compared to Miss Jiang?" Her tone was tinged with deep inferiority.

"Wanwan," Wen Yishu said gently.

Luo Wan looked at him.

Wen Yishu didn't say anything more, but just smiled gently and shook her head: "Don't be sad, it's bad for your health."

I will help you.
