Chapter 61 61 They argued and neither wanted to make up.
-
Wen Yining knew her cousin had misunderstood, so she immediately explained, "We're not..."
Shen Yueze's voice drowned out hers, "It's been less than a month, we're not from the same school, we met outside of school."
Ji Yao gave a meaningful "Ah," and said, "I thought you two were classmates."
This person looks just like a celebrity, the kind you rarely see in real life.
I glanced at this handsome guy a few more times. Even though he's been out of school for several years and is 26 years old, he still knows what kind of boys girls like the most. He looks experienced and has had a lot of interactions with girls.
He had the air of a young master, with a tall and straight figure. He wasn't wearing any clothes with logos, and the watch on his wrist looked to be worth hundreds of thousands...
Ji Yao had a rough idea of what was going on; he was probably another rich young master, but she didn't know how he compared to Chen Jiabai.
Ji Yao smiled meaningfully at her cousin, wanting to remark that Shen Yueze was quite a catch. Wen Yining, however, didn't look at her and didn't want to explain for the time being, slowly eating her fruit.
After listening to them talk for a while about her injuries, Wen Yiran said she wanted to stay here that night, but there was nowhere else to stay.
"The hospital only allows one person to stay. My sister is enough here. You two can go back."
Their gaze returned to Shen Yueze, observing his expression. This time, it was relatively calm, without any extra emotions.
Ji Yao agreed, "Just come during the day, there's no need for several people to stay with me. I've taken a week off and I'm not going to the company anymore."
Wen Yiran: "You need to find a caregiver, or have someone stay with you for one night, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well."
Ji Yao felt fine and looked at the IV drip. "Is this the last bag? But I definitely won't fall asleep. We can take turns during the day and night."
Shen Yueze called a nurse to remove the needle. The nurse saw the snacks she was eating and gave her some advice on what to avoid. Wen Yining sighed. When she was in a bad mood, she wanted to eat something with strong flavors, but unfortunately she had to avoid them.
Wen Yiran: "Okay, see if there's anything else you need, I'll bring it over tomorrow."

That night, Shen Yueze didn't try to keep her. Before leaving, he exchanged a glance with her, but said nothing, and she said nothing either.
Wen Yining didn't sleep well that night. She had a dream about a talent show. In the dream, someone stole her debut spot. Her ranking should have been hers, but it was taken by another girl with powerful connections. The other girl was backed by a big company and was a relative of a high-ranking executive. She was so anxious and angry that she cried uncontrollably. When she woke up, tears from the corners of her eyes slid down her side to her ears and the pillow. Her heart was beating strangely fast. She felt very uneasy. The dream was too real and too frustrating.
The phone was brought over. It was only four in the morning. She sat up and drank half a cup of water. The thermos had been filled with boiling water by Shen Yueze beforehand, and it was very heavy.
He even asked her if she liked the taste, and if not, he'd buy her some.
There were also several unopened bottles of mineral water on the table.
When I was at his house, I never drank tap water.
But there's no way to get water up at school; it's several floors high, and even if you buy water, you can't carry it up. Geng Chutong is the richest one, so he buys bottled water to drink every day.
I drifted off to sleep again, and when I woke up again it was already seven o'clock. The ward was very quiet, with the occasional sound of nurses pushing carts in the corridor.
You shouldn't turn over randomly at night. If you stay in one position for too long, your muscles will go numb, and you'll feel more and more tired the longer you lie down.
She complained, "No wonder they have to keep turning and changing the position of a person in a vegetative state. I've never felt so uncomfortable before. After lying down for so long, I couldn't even feel my butt anymore..."
Ji Yao woke up early and rushed over from the bathroom. "Don't move around, don't get out of bed. I woke up several times last night, I was so worried about you."
Wen Yining turned slightly to the side, sensing something was wrong, and frowned, "Sis, I think I've started my period..."
I reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there was blood. But not much; it was just a little on my underwear and hadn't flowed onto the hospital bed yet.
Ji Yao washed her face and came out. "What bad luck! Was the bleeding heavy? Let me check my bag to see if I brought any sanitary napkins."
I brought a large tote bag with me when I came, and I only brought some daily necessities. I forgot the sanitary napkins. After searching through them, I couldn't find them. "I just finished my period this month. Ugh, you can use paper for now. I'll go buy some for you right away." "Wait for me. I'll also buy breakfast while I'm at it."
"Okay, buy two more packs, and also a pair of overnight pants and some wet wipes."
"Chen Yueze bought the wet wipes; they're in the drawer."
Ji Yao helped her take it out.
Wen Yining's phone was fully charged, with many unread messages, including one from Chen Jiabai.
But I haven't been in touch with him for a long time. I bet he has a new love now.
Shih Yu-heng, the art-house film director, even called her twice.
The WeChat message he sent was out of concern for her.
She thought about it for a moment and then called back.
Shi Yuheng was still awake, having stayed up all night. He immediately answered the phone, "Hey, I heard from your senior Qiao Yin that you got injured during the talent show, right? You fractured a bone?"
"Avulsion fracture, right foot, from the fall."
How long will it take to recover?
"It takes about a month, but some people can walk in the second week."
The three orthopedic doctors that Shen Yueze consulted for her all had different opinions and several treatment options, such as whether to have surgery, whether to use a cast, and whether to opt for conservative treatment.
"That takes a bit too long..."
Shi Yuheng sighed regretfully, "Which hospital are you at? I can show you my script."
She hesitated, "It's very far here. You can come to me when I'm better."
"It's okay, we need to book in advance. I'll drive over."
"I didn't want you to go to the talent show, but you insisted on going, and you ended up getting injured."
"You'll definitely regret it if you don't try."
Shen Yueze previously said that this was the last time he would hold a talent show, as it would be banned from the authorities afterward. Although it's not 100% certain, he had to at least try it once.
Shi Yuheng added, "Don't overthink it. It's okay. There are many paths to success, not just the talent show."
She hummed in agreement, "If you've done your best, you'll have no regrets."
These words were clearly meant to comfort himself.
Then I sent the location to Shi Yuheng.
Opening her WeChat Moments, Geng Chutong posted a new update: several photos of herself with Shi Yingmeng, wearing a cool short skirt, makeup, and carrying a designer bag.
They went out and had some fun; here are some photos of the attractions and restaurants.
After adding her, Shi Yingmeng didn't say much. She was very beautiful, the sexy and glamorous type. Even if she broke up with Shen Yueze, she wouldn't lack admirers.
Geng Chutong had originally planned to participate in the talent show, but she dropped out because the competition was too fierce.
The smile in the photo makes her seem to be having a great time.
Clicking in, the first few posts included a profile of her boyfriend. He looked rather ordinary, but judging from his luxury brand clothes and Richard's watch, he was clearly a rich kid.
Geng Chutong said she met the boy in Fantasy Westward Journey. There are many rich people in this game who spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan at a time. She likes playing games, and their relationship developed from online friends to offline friends.
The photo was of the guy taking her to buy Hermes, and the caption was also showing off their affection.
The boy seemed to spoil her a lot; he not only spent money on her, but also tried to coax her when they argued.
Sure enough, people from well-off families can live the life that others can only dream of, even without doing anything.
Geng Chutong isn't actually that pretty, maybe just average. She's also a bit mean and meddlesome, doesn't get along with the three people in her dorm, and always gossips outside.
Lou Xinyue once smugly watched the show and said that very few boys would be interested in this person.
But she was proven wrong; the guy was not only rich, but he also liked her.
Wen Yining took a picture of the ward and posted it online. Soon after, more than a dozen people asked her why she was hospitalized, where she was injured, how serious it was, and that they wanted to visit her. There were both men and women among them…
I only replied to Feng Yan and sent him my address.
The messages of concern kept coming in, which seemed to indicate that many people cared about her, but she still felt empty inside.
A few minutes later, Geng Chutong couldn't help but tease her, "So you can't participate in the talent show? I remember you practiced until dawn every day, you didn't even date, and you dreamed of debuting. How come you're so unlucky?"
I really dream of debuting...
She felt a tightness in her chest when she saw the post, hoping that someone who cared about her would offer some words of comfort and perhaps make her feel better. However, it was like rubbing salt into a wound, so she deleted the photo from her Moments.
Feng Yan made a video call, and just as he was about to answer, Shen Yueze came in, carrying a shopping bag and a restaurant takeout bag in each hand.
She blinked twice, thinking to herself, "It's only a little past seven, why are we here so early?"
"My cousin went to buy food."
Shen Yueze put it on the table. "I told her she didn't need to buy it."
What time did you arrive?
It takes at least four hours to drive here from his house.
He explained calmly, "I didn't go back; I stayed at a nearby hotel."
At the same time, Feng Yan made a second video call to her, eager to see her current condition. She subconsciously looked up and met Shen Yueze's calm and composed gaze.
She hesitated between hanging up and answering; if Shen Yueze wasn't there, it didn't matter.
He snatched the phone and answered it.
Feng Yan, who was sitting opposite her, was still in the dormitory without any clothes on. His first words were an anxious greeting: "How did you break your leg, Wen Yining?"
Shen Yueze raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at the man's bare upper body. "Put your clothes on first."
Feng Yan hadn't expected it to be him either, and his tone immediately turned sour, "Who are you? Wen Yining is right there, isn't she?"
The problem is, she can't stand up, so how can she grab the phone? "Are you bullying a disabled person? Give me back my phone!"
Shen Yueze glanced at her, then patiently leaned back in his chair, deliberately keeping a distance from her hospital bed.
His tone was flippant as he slowly said, "Is this the level of intimacy you two usually have when you video chat? He doesn't even wear clothes?"
“…”
She thought it was perfectly normal for boys to do that in the summer; it wasn't like they weren't wearing pants.
When I was in high school at home, my dad and older brother often went shirtless, so I was used to it.
Shen Yueze stared at her. "Don't you tell the truth at all? What did you say a few days ago?"
Wen Yining almost immediately realized what he meant. On the day of the dinner, he asked her if she had ever had a nude chat with someone.
Feng Yan's current state is quite easy for people to misunderstand.
She looked embarrassed for a moment, then squeezed out, "It's not like we're dating, do you really need to ask so many questions?"

Author's Note: It's getting really melodramatic coming up. I remember saying at the beginning that this book would be extremely melodramatic.

Shi Yuheng appeared three times earlier, which is very important.
