Shen Yue, who was being carried in Lin Chen's arms, was in a daze. She wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck and blushed shyly in his embrace.
Lin Chen carried Shen Yue all the way to the school gate, attracting the attention of college students along the way.
A girl exclaimed, "Wow, this guy is so handsome, he's got amazing boyfriend potential!" Then she looked at the guy next to her who was about to pursue her, but he avoided her gaze, pretended not to see her, and said disappointedly, "Sorry, we don't seem to be a good match." Then he turned and left, muttering "Little Dog" under his breath.
The boy was devastated. The last word, "slender dog," completely shattered his confidence. He shouted, "He may be handsome, but he's definitely not as rich as me. Look, this is my new iPhone."
The girl turned around and saw Lin Chen carrying Shen Yue into a Cayenne outside the school gate. She sighed and turned to leave.
They took Shen Yue to the hospital for an X-ray, and the doctor examined it carefully under the incandescent light.
"You've fallen quite badly. You have a slight fracture and need a cast. Young man, go pay the bill first, then go to the pharmacy to get the cast materials."
Lin Chen responded and left. An hour later, Shen Yue's right foot was put in a thick cast.
Shen Yue looked miserable: "Lin Chen, what should I do? I can't even walk. Our dormitory is on the fifth floor. How am I going to get back?"
Lin Chen thought about it. Shen Yue was already in this state, so he couldn't just send her back to school and leave her alone. After all, he had promised Shen Yue's mother that he would take care of her.
"The doctor said the fracture isn't serious, and the cast should be removed in about a week. How about we stay at a hotel outside the school this week? The hotel has an elevator."
"Huh? I'll be scared staying in a hotel alone for a week, and how will I go to class?"
Indeed, it's pitiful to go to class on crutches, especially since university classes aren't all in one classroom. One class might be in Building A, and the next class might be in Building B, so it's really inconvenient to go on crutches.
"Then I'll take the week off to spend time with you."
"Hehe, Lin Chen, you're the best."
The doctor couldn't stand it anymore: "Ahem, young man, you should restrain yourself a little at times like this, and be more careful with your movements."
Shen Yue didn't understand what the doctor was saying, but Lin Chen, being an experienced doctor, quickly thanked the doctor and helped Shen Yue out of the examination room.
The doctor watched the two figures disappear into the distance and shook his head: "Young people these days really know how to have fun."
Back in the car, Lin Chen took out his phone and called his counselor, Qian Ming: "Teacher Qian, this is Lin Chen."
Qian Ming still remembered Lin Chen, the student. "Oh? Lin Chen, is there something you need?"
"Teacher Qian, I just applied for a student entrepreneurship program and started a company. I have some urgent matters to attend to this week, so I would like to ask for a leave of absence."
"Starting a business? Hey, not bad, Lin Chen. You're probably the first freshman in our class to start a business so far. Okay, the school encourages college students to start businesses. Just don't fail your courses."
"Okay, Teacher Qian, I definitely won't fail the course."
Student counselors really appreciate students who start their own businesses while still in school, because one student's entrepreneurship can potentially solve the employment problems of many classmates. The graduation employment rate accounts for a large part of the evaluation of student counselors. Moreover, various types of college student entrepreneurship competitions are held nationwide every year, and if a student wins an award, the school will give the counselor a large bonus.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen smiled and said to Shen Yue, "It's all taken care of."
Shen Yue asked curiously, "Lin Chen, you started a company?"
"Yeah, I just got it done today. I heard that college students can take leave frequently when starting a business, so I applied for one. I didn't expect my first leave to go so smoothly."
"Haha, that's pretty fun. How many people are in your company?"
There are only two, one is the boss and the other is an employee.
Shen Yue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Your company is too shabby, Mr. Lin. Do you need a secretary to run errands and buy coffee?"
Lin Chen glanced at Shen Yue's feet: "Running errands?"
Shen Yue huffed, "I've never always been like this, hmph!"
"Haha, I'll definitely contact you first whenever I need a secretary. Can I not pay you a salary?"
"Wow, Lin Chen, you've already revealed your capitalist side so quickly."
Lin Chen took Shen Yue to the hotel closest to Fudan University and booked a business suite, which had two rooms and a living room. Then he took Shen Yue upstairs.
Shen Yue sat on the living room sofa and said pitifully, "Lin Chen, I'm hungry."
Lin Chen then remembered that he had originally gone to find Shen Yue for dinner, but after all the trouble at the hospital, neither of them had eaten yet. Lin Chen took out his phone to order takeout, but suddenly remembered that Meituan didn't exist in 2009. The famous group-buying war in the Chinese internet industry wouldn't officially start until next year.
There was no other way, so I put it on my phone and called the hotel to have the food delivered.
After dinner, Shen Yue said to Lin Chen shyly, "Lin Chen, I didn't bring any change of clothes. Could you go and buy me a set?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment. He also needed to buy some clean clothes, but he was too lazy to go back to school to get them. He nodded and stood up. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "What size should I buy?"
"Huh?" Shen Yue didn't react at first, then blushed and whispered, "32C."
Ah... Lin Chen thought to himself, "Who can resist this?" He touched his nose and hurried downstairs to buy clothes.
Arriving at a nearby shopping mall, Lin Chen first bought himself underwear and a few sets of clothes. Then he went into a women's clothing store. However, the keyword "32C" kept echoing in his mind, so he subconsciously chose clothes and skirts that accentuated his figure, including underwear.
The lingerie shop owner was clearly a shrewd businesswoman. She understood the style Lin Chen had chosen and recommended a few of the most expensive ones. Lin Chen bought them all without hesitation. Actually, Lin Chen didn't know much about these things and thought that the more expensive ones would probably be more comfortable to wear. After paying, the shop owner kindly slipped a box of Lan Jingling (a type of lingerie) into the bag.
"Come again next time, young man."
When Lin Chen returned to the hotel, he found Shen Yue with her head buried on the sofa, looking very anxious.
"Chen Yue, what's wrong? Is your foot starting to hurt? Should we go to the hospital?"
Shen Yue raised her head, blushing, and said, "Lin Chen, I...I need to go to the toilet."
Uh… Lin Chen suddenly remembered that he hadn’t bought a cane for Shen Yue yet; he had completely forgotten about it.
After helping Chen Yue to the restroom, Lin Chen said, "Call me when you're done." Then he walked out and closed the door behind him.
