Chapter 39 Will spoiling him spoil him?
In fact, thanks to Jiang Hui's meticulous care these past few days, she has recovered considerably. She is not the kind of heartless ingrate; she has seen how attentive Jiang Hui is to her care.
Often, even when she was asleep, he would still be watching her IV drip like a hawk, busy with everything so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything at the hospital. He arranged everything perfectly, from when to change the needle to what to eat and when she needed to go to the bathroom.
Otherwise, Yu Lingling wouldn't have left feeling at ease.
Yu Lingling wanted to stay longer, but Cheng Sijie told her to leave. If she lingered any longer, her school would object, and her advisor would be in a difficult position. It was better for her to go back quickly. Actually, Cheng Sijie was very clear about this in her heart—
The one who should be kicked out the most is Jiang Hui, who flew in from overseas.
But every time she brought it up, Jiang Hui would ignore her.
When are you going back?
Jiang Hui said, "Don't worry about that."
Seeing his confident demeanor, Cheng Sijie wondered if his family had donated money to a prestigious school. These days, money talks; who knows what this guy has been up to…
She crossed her arms, still unable to get over the hurdle in her heart, and angrily retorted to Jiang Hui, "Who do you think you are, some kind of eavesdropping drama hero?"
Jiang Hui looked at her slowly, then smiled, "No, I wasn't really listening to you. It's just an app that's still under development. It will automatically give me a warning if a user enters a hospital or other emergency location."
Cheng Sijie: "..."
Jiang Hui's gaze could almost be described as direct and provocative.
He was just gambling that Cheng Sijie would treat him lightly because she liked him.
Cheng Sijie was puzzled, and then said with great doubt, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Jiang Hui said, "No."
Cheng Sijie said, "Are you really crazy? Using something like this to test our feelings, you might as well just confess and beg for my forgiveness."
Jiang Hui only answered the first question, saying, "Really? But I've been actively seeking treatment, but so far the results have been minimal."
Cheng Sijie's eyes were sharp as knives as she stared at him for several minutes. Jiang Hui didn't blink and calmly looked back. In fact, after calming down the initial chaos, panic and anger, Cheng Sijie found that he had become handsome again.
Exhausted, she finally laughed in exasperation: "Have you lost your mind?"
Jiang Hui retorted, "You toyed with my feelings, so why aren't you taking responsibility?"
Cheng Sijie: "..."
Forget it, you can't argue with a dog.
That scoundrel.
She didn't want to talk to him.
Jiang Hui stayed by Cheng Sijie's side until she was discharged from the hospital.
Cheng Sijie was completely baffled, wondering if he didn't have to attend classes, but she was in the middle of a cold war with Jiang Hui and was too lazy to talk about it or ask.
But it has to be said that Jiang Hui is lucky; Cheng Sijie's counselor came to visit her.
This provides a new plot line for "Overheard" and also brings a turning point to the fate of the protagonist, Jiang Hui.
Cheng Sijie's counselor is a very kind and approachable middle-aged female teacher. She used to work as a teacher, but later changed jobs due to health reasons. Her student was taken away by an ambulance, and she was also a class leader who had always worked for her. She had wanted to come earlier, but with the school's assessment approaching, she couldn't leave. She could only call Cheng Sijie, ask about the situation with concern, and generously gave her several days off, telling her not to worry about the final exams and that she would come to the hospital to see her after she finished her work.
Cheng Sijie naturally declined repeatedly.
Later, when the counselor learned that the child was from her old classmate's family, she felt a special connection and couldn't delay any longer, so she brought milk and fruit with her.
Cheng Sijie naturally had no time to settle scores with Jiang Hui—
When the counselor appeared with fruit and milk, Cheng Sijie was already on high alert. She was too embarrassed to show her energy and vitality. The counselor wasn't her mother. If she went to get a sick note and caused trouble, and then acted like nothing was wrong, wouldn't that be deliberately making things difficult for the counselor?
So the counselor saw Cheng Sijie with a slightly pale face and was genuinely worried. "Are you alright, Sijie?"
Cheng Sijie quickly tried to sit up. "Teacher, I'm really fine. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."
The counselor quickly asked her to sit down. "Oh my, I never would have guessed that your mother and I were old classmates. When I went to the north to pursue my master's degree, I had trouble adjusting to the new environment, and she took care of me. I heard that an ambulance even went to the dormitory building, and they carried me down on a stretcher."
Cheng Sijie was a little embarrassed. "Haha... Haha, it really was quite embarrassing. I was vomiting and had diarrhea, and I was dehydrated. I had no strength at all. My roommate, Gu Meng, was so scared that she immediately called 120. Otherwise, I would have been dead."
The counselor was amused by her words, "This child, how can she be so humorous?"
Jiang Hui was sent out to buy food by her. When she came back in, she saw her counselor and smiled gently and harmlessly, saying, "Hello, Teacher Li."
Cheng Sijie: "..."
She smiled awkwardly, not expecting Jiang Hui to return so quickly. She said, "Uh, this is my boyfriend, teacher."
She blinked. "Don't worry, my parents know we're dating. We were high school classmates."
The counselor seemed a little surprised that he was of mixed race. Of course, she was even more shocked when Jiang Hui debuted later, but that's a story for another time.
"Wow, your boyfriend is quite handsome."
Jiang Hui smiled warmly and gently: "You are the one. I heard that my girlfriend's mother and you were classmates. Are you single and childless? You look so young. I thought you were a newly hired teacher. You are so kind and even came to see Sijie."
Teacher Li waved her hand, "Oh...oh, this, hahaha, no way, I'm over forty."
Jiang Hui said, "Maybe it's because I'm a guy that I can't tell a girl's age very well. I thought you were in your early thirties."
Teacher Li laughed even harder, "My children are about to go to college, oh my, these two kids, how can they be so good at talking, oh my, hahaha."
Jiang Hui touched his head sheepishly, looking shy.
Cheng Sijie was completely shocked by his shamelessness. She thought that although Teacher Li looked young, at most she looked five or six years younger than her actual age. But he went and directly offered a 45-15 discount coupon, was it a huge Meituan coupon?
That's incredible!
She also responded with "Uh ha ha ha".
The room immediately filled with a harmonious atmosphere, and thankfully there were no other patients in the room, otherwise it would have been too joyful.
Cheng Sijie specifically asked Jiang Hui to bring out the local specialties that He Hongmei had instructed her to send out. Although He Hongmei was a female PhD, she was not only intelligent but also shrewd. She had already planned to invite people to dinner with her husband so that she could do them a favor.
Teacher Li knew Cheng Sijie's character and would definitely come to see her again out of friendship. She brought a lot of local specialties, leaving the gift boxes for Cheng Sijie so that her daughter could deliver them again.
She understood: her parents' trip was a gesture of goodwill, entrusting someone to take care of their child; Cheng Sijie's trip was a small token of his appreciation for the trouble he had caused the teacher.
They don't have family traditions or precepts, but not taking advantage of others is their family's principle.
Finally, after some polite refusals from Ms. Li, Cheng Sijie gave Jiang Hui a wink, and Jiang Hui took the local specialties out to give them to her. He eventually put them in her car. Ms. Li was very happy to see such a handsome and polite young man and left in high spirits. Cheng Sijie breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Hui: "Okay, I've put it in the car for her."
She was very satisfied with Jiang Hui's performance. "Yoshi!"
If you dwell on something for too long, getting caught up in the details, it becomes pointless. She can't keep harping on this matter; otherwise, life becomes unbearable.
She looked around, then cleared her throat and said, "There are advantages to dating you, huh?"
Jiang Hui: "Yes, dear. Can you give me a five-star review? Mwah!"
Cheng Sijie: "No."
Jiang Hui: "Then I'll just give you a forceful kiss."
Cheng Sijie: "..."
This person, how come he is so... um, so unreliable?
This is purely flirting, so there's no need to elaborate.
When she was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Hui was busy taking care of her. He packed a big bag of clothes and daily necessities, as well as snacks he had bought over the past few days. Jiang Hui said that he had emailed the school to ask for leave, and since he had almost completed his credits, it was easy for the school to grant him leave.
Cheng Sijie didn't have the energy to find out about his family situation. Generally speaking, when two people are too different, most things are just irrelevant. The extremely intelligent Cheng Sijie simply stopped asking.
You're talking about this and I'm talking about that, let's just talk about something practical that everyone can understand.
For example, houses.
"What?! When did you buy a house in my university town?"
Jiang Hui said innocently, "I use the money I make from stocks to invest, baby."
Cheng Sijie stared in disbelief, his chest heaving.
Jiang Hui said, "I want to have a place to stay when I come to see you. I hate staying in hotels."
Jiang Hui had clearly studied "On Protracted War." He had previously said that if Cheng Sijie didn't like him, he would disappear abroad. This was obviously a lie. He's a complete liar.
Jiang Hui said, "Besides, you've already told your aunt and uncle that I'm your boyfriend, so why won't you admit it?"
Cheng Sijie sneered: "Because you're mentally ill."
Jiang Hui politely replied, "You don't like children, and even if I have a mental illness, it won't be passed on to my children. I can get a vasectomy and remain childless."
Cheng Sijie's forehead throbbed with pain: "I hereby announce that we've broken up."
She went into a convenience store to buy daily necessities.
Jiang Hui, standing at 1.87 meters tall, followed closely behind her, making him particularly conspicuous. The older he got, the more pronounced his mixed-race features became; his gray-green pupils resembled a deep sea. Seeing Cheng Sijie roll her eyes at him, Jiang Hui almost blurted out his innermost thoughts—
Her eyes were so bright, almost like two stars, that he felt an irresistible urge to pinch her and hold her in his hand.
So he dragged her behind the convenience store shelf and kissed her forcefully.
Being so close, Cheng Sijie could see the dark circles under his eyes and the inexplicable excitement in them. If people can have a telepathic connection, then there must be some electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields, energy, hormones, smells... that modern science has not yet proven, which can use a thousand languages to express how someone feels about you, and vice versa.
Cheng Sijie's heart pounded. She grabbed the handsome man by the collar and stared at him: "That's enough, no more of this, you hear me?"
Jiang Hui's breathing became rapid as she squeezed him, and he stared at her, mesmerized, without speaking, breathing softly.
Cheng Sijie blushed, bit him angrily, leaving a clear tooth mark on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Let's go."
In this special situation of "meeting the parents", the unspoken understanding has been broken, and there is no need to be reserved anymore.
It was only natural that something happened between the two of them. In the end, after much deliberation, Cheng Sijie went along with it and gave Jiang Hui a formal status.
江洄此妖妃一得到程帝给予的名分，马上开始兴风作浪，非常欠揍地说他们的恋爱多亏他的聪明才智，不然肯定要完蛋。
Cheng Sijie ignored him, so he pretended to be nonchalant and insisted that she tell him if he felt inferior because she was much less intelligent and capable than him. Cheng Sijie was speechless and said, "Okay, you're crazy. Have I looked down on you because of your madness?"
Jiang Hui said, "But, Chengcheng, the yandere attribute is really popular now."
Cheng Sijie crossed her arms, tilted her head to look at him, and had an unusually proud look on her face, like a bird with feathers as smooth as satin. "Alright, be realistic, young master!"
Jiang Hui was extremely happy because of this coquettish sarcasm.
Jiang Hui said, "I'm afraid someone might say something to you, like that our relationship won't last."
When he pretends to be gentle, his voice is very deep, with the texture of a string instrument.
Cheng Sijie muttered, "Tch, I'm not afraid. I'm frighteningly confident, okay? You should be worried about whether I'll dump you, instead of pretending to be gentle..."
Cheng Sijie was held by the waist by the other person. He was very heavy. After all, he was 1.9 meters tall and a big man. He was really heavy. She punched his arms, which were holding her tightly. Finally, she closed her eyes as if she was giving up and was pulled onto the bed.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
She was very tired, her eyelashes fluttering. Jiang Hui propped himself up on his elbows and looked at her, feeling that he was truly blessed by God. Although he had a neurotic and painful life and a neurotic and painful self, he had met someone like an angel who made him fall in love at first sight.
His heart was filled with sweet, cheesy emotions because of these sentiments. "Chengcheng, I love you."
Cheng Sijie was finally disgusted and said, "Shut up, isn't that cheesy?"
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "I don't have any skin disease, so why is my flesh numb?"
Cheng Sijie stared at him expressionlessly, then suddenly laughed, "What? What are you talking about, in your sleep?"
That focus made him ecstatic.
His thoughts suddenly drifted far away, as if returning to the Bach Prelude in C major that he had heard in his childhood, and the aroma of incense that filled the room at that time. Research shows that olfactory memories last longer; a picture or a scent can be the key to a memory.
But at this moment, he felt as if nothing else existed, as his nasal cavity and brain nerves were completely focused on the elegant fragrance of the girl's skin in front of him.
It smells so good.
He kissed Cheng Sijie passionately, and in that instant he became very small, humbly small, even intentionally wanting to become very small, preferably as small as Alice on the rabbit hole, forever in Cheng Sijie's heart.
In that instant, Cheng Sijie sensed something and froze, only her hand still gently stroking the back of his head as if by muscle memory.
Jiang Hui stared at her intently, with a kind of non-dangerous aggression.
Are a lover's eyes deeper and wider than the four oceans? Why can they hold so much love?
She trembled for a moment as the other person's lips covered hers.
It's very soft.
She hugged Jiang Hui's neck back. In that instant, she could forgive and tolerate everything about him. It was almost a selfless love that she had been inspired by him.
Deep down, she silently attributed the previous hospital incident to the romance between the two of them.
If I forgive him so easily, won't I spoil him?
Is this what you call being love-struck? If one is fully aware of the situation and is still fascinated by this kind of madness, then perhaps it's just another case of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive.
So they started dating.
Blessed by parents.
Mutual affection.
Of course, he didn't care much about Jiang Hui's parents, so he left it at that.
