Zhou Wei quit her tutoring job because of her injury. Fortunately, the parents of the tutors understood the reason and settled her part-time fees for that period of time.
It's not acceptable to misunderstand; we can't expect Zhou Wei to teach her students while injured.
However, finding a reliable tutor on short notice wasn't easy, so after some discussion, Zhou Weiwei introduced the tutor to a female classmate.
That girl was one of the few Zhou Wei got along well with in the class. She was gentle and patient, and was hired after trying out one class.
When the female classmate heard that Zhou Wei was injured, she specially brought fruit to her home to visit her.
Looking at Zhou Wei, whose face was wrapped in gauze and whose hand was in a cast, Ye Ling couldn't help but show a hint of worry: "Weiwei, how are your injuries?"
"Well, it's not too serious. It should be almost completely healed by the time school starts," Zhou Wei said with a smile.
Fortunately, it was her left hand that was fractured, so it won't affect her eating or writing. It would have been more troublesome if her right hand had been injured.
Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to go to school when the semester starts."
Zhou Wei looked at the several large bags of fruit she was carrying and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Lingdang, why did you buy so much fruit? This is too extravagant."
These past two days, Zhou's mother has bought a lot of fruit for the house. The weather is hot now, and the fruit spoils quickly. There are only two people in their family, so they probably can't finish all the fruit even if they eat it as a meal.
Ye Ling said nonchalantly, "I have a cousin who runs a fruit wholesale business. I buy fruit from him at cost price. Although this fruit looks like a lot, it didn't actually cost me much."
It was only because Ye Ling insisted on giving the money that her Uncle Ye was willing to give it away for free.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei's eyes lit up: "Really? I happen to know someone who needs to buy a batch of fruit. Could you give me your uncle's contact information?"
What a coincidence! She was planning to take some time these next couple of days to go to the fruit wholesale market to buy fruit for Xia Qingqing. Since Ye Ling's uncle is in the fruit wholesale business, it's even more convenient. With Ye Ling's connection, she doesn't need to worry about the quality of the fruit.
"Of course! I introduced some business to my uncle, and he'll give me a red envelope later, hahaha," Ye Ling said with a smile, handing Zhou Wei her contact information.
Ye Ling's uncle is her father's cousin. The two have been close since childhood and have maintained contact even after they grew up and got married. Her uncle often sends her family various fruits, so she is happy to help him get business.
Zhou Wei added Ye Ling's uncle's contact information. When the uncle heard that Ye Ling had introduced her, he was very enthusiastic and offered a very reasonable price.
Zhou Wei ordered dozens of boxes of fruit directly from Uncle Ye Lingtang, including apples, pears, pineapples, cherries, mangosteens, grapes, dragon fruit, and 2,000 jin of watermelons.
Zhou Wei had Uncle Ye deliver all the items to the warehouse she rented, and then took some time to go and send all the fruit to Xia Qingqing.
After taking care of the fruit for Xia Qingqing, Zhou Wei finally had one less thing on her mind and could now stay home and recuperate.
These past two days, Feng Yu has been inexplicably thinking about Zhou Wei's injury, especially after he learned from the doctor that Zhou Wei's face had just scraped against a piece of gravel, and the wound was quite deep and likely to leave a scar, which made him even more depressed.
Chen Jie didn't quite understand and looked at him suspiciously, saying, "It's just a scar, right? You can just have a surgery to remove it, can't you? You don't have a crush on that junior schoolgirl, do you?"
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. After graduating from university, this guy was assigned to a company by his family and hasn't dated anyone. Maybe he's been single for too long and is feeling lonely.
Feng Yu was taken aback by what he said, but quickly retorted, "This is just a normal person's feeling of guilt, okay? I caused a beautiful young girl to be disfigured, isn't it normal to feel a little guilty?"
"It's normal, it's normal, okay? If you feel guilty, just give her more money. These days, money can erase any scar," Chen Jie secretly rolled his eyes. He was willing to bet that Feng Yu definitely had a thing for that junior school girl.
We've been brothers for over ten years, everyone knows each other, right? If he didn't have feelings for her, why would he be so hung up on her? Whether others believe it or not, he certainly doesn't.
“You’re right,” Feng Yu said. He didn’t know how much a scar removal surgery would cost, but he figured it must be expensive. His cousin had told him that a simple set of skincare products could cost tens of thousands of yuan. Worried that the 100,000 yuan he had transferred earlier wouldn’t be enough, he quietly transferred another 200,000 yuan to Zhou Wei.
Shortly after the money was transferred, I received a message on my phone.
Zhou Wei: [Senior? This money is...]
Feng Yu: [I heard from the doctor that the injury on your face will likely leave a scar. This money is for your scar removal surgery.]
Zhou Wei felt that Feng Yu was being a bit strange. Hadn't he already given compensation last time? Even if she needed scar removal surgery, 100,000 yuan would be enough.
Besides, Xia Qingqing gave her beauty potion for the injury on her face, so she wasn't worried about scarring at all.
Zhou Wei: [No need, what you gave me last time was enough.]
When Feng Yu saw that Zhou Wei had rejected him, he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart. He just thought this junior was adorably naive, turning away money when she had it.
This was completely different from the girls he had met before, who only knew how to get benefits from him.
Feng Yu: [Junior, please accept this. I'll feel really guilty if you don't.]
Now that things have come to this point, Zhou Wei felt it would be impolite of her not to accept the money. Feng Yu might even think she was being pretentious and trying to get his attention by refusing it.
That's outrageous! They actually dared to use money to lure college students. Which college student could resist such a temptation?
Zhou Wei: [Okay then, this money is more than enough for my treatment, senior, you really don't need to transfer any more money to me.]
When Feng Yu saw that Zhou Wei was willing to accept his transfer, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"What are you talking about? You're laughing like a complete idiot," Chen Jie suddenly leaned over, wanting to look at Feng Yu's phone.
Feng Yu quickly turned off his phone screen: "It's nothing."
Chen Jie gave him a disbelieving look: "You're laughing so happily, are you chatting with a junior from junior school? If you're really worried, why don't you go and visit her?"
"She doesn't seem to want me to visit her. She didn't agree to give her scar removal cream last time I offered," Feng Yu said, somewhat frustrated.
"Oh ho, so that junior girl probably didn't like you. Well, that makes sense, considering how much of a womanizer you were back in school, changing girlfriends one after another," Chen Jie said gloatingly.
Feng Yu wanted to refute, but what Chen Jie said was true.
He suddenly realized a problem: he was actually worried about his image in Zhou Wei's eyes. Could it be that, as Chen Jie said, he had taken a liking to a junior school girl?
