"Knowing you're injured, you still fooled around with your older brother. You deserve a beating from your older brother, but since you're injured right now, I'll remember this for now. Wait until you're healed and see how I deal with you."
As Jiang Yue spoke, she took out the breakfast she had brought.
"Go wash your hands quickly. Mom and I made your favorite lotus root filling buns. I also cooked you some porridge with osmanthus and sugar in it. It's so sweet."
Mom also stewed pork ribs for you, and made your favorite brown sugar potstickers..."
The things Jiang Yue brought filled the small table next to the hospital bed.
After taking out the items, Jiang Yue took out a coat and put it on Lu Jingnian. Lu Jingnian was only wearing a hospital gown, and the ward was cold because there was no heating or air conditioning.
Lu Jingnian obediently put on the coat Jiang Yue gave him, pointed to the food on the table and asked Jiang Yue, "Did you and Mom make all of this this morning?"
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, "Yes, most of them are made by Mom, and they're all your favorite dishes."
"You've done so much work, and you're here so early. What time did you and Mom get up?"
They must have stayed up all night, right?
"I got up at five o'clock, but my mom got up earlier than me. When I went downstairs, she had already almost finished stewing the ribs."
Lu Jingnian smiled at Jiang Yue, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. "When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll definitely thank Mom properly." As he spoke, he leaned closer to Jiang Yue and kissed her on the cheek. "Thank you to my wife too."
...
Outside.
Jiang Zheng looked at Duan Suyao with a tense and worried expression.
"You look terrible. Didn't you sleep well?"
Duan Suyao nodded, handed the coat in her hand to Jiang Zheng and told him to put it on, before continuing, "I don't know what's wrong with me these past two days, I keep having dreams."
Upon hearing the word "dream," Jiang Zheng nearly dropped the clothes he was holding.
What did you dream about?
Jiang Zheng tried his best to suppress the tension in his voice, looked at Duan Suyao, and asked softly.
"I don't remember."
Duan Suyao frowned and shook her head. "I know I'm dreaming, but I completely forget what I dreamed about after I wake up. I can't remember it no matter how hard I try."
But I felt incredibly sad inside, like something was pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe.
Every time she woke up, the more uncomfortable she felt, the more she thought of Jiang Zheng and longed to see him, yet she was also afraid and terrified of seeing him...
Duan Suyao didn't notice that Jiang Zheng's hands were trembling when she finished speaking.
"Jiang Zheng, what's wrong with me?" Duan Suyao looked at Jiang Zheng's face. She had liked him the first time she met him. Jiang Zheng's face was just like the male protagonist in the comics she used to read, fulfilling all her fantasies.
"fine."
Jiang Zheng stepped forward and, without caring whether anyone was around, hugged Duan Suyao tightly. "You must have been under too much pressure lately, that's why you're like this."
I happen to have some vacation time. I'll ask for a few days off when I get back, and we'll travel around together for a few days until you relax.
"Yueyue also said that I might be under too much pressure." Duan Suyao leaned against Jiang Zheng's chest, her voice a little muffled. "But I haven't had any work lately, so how could I be under pressure?"
Yueyue told me to go to the doctor and get some sleeping pills, and I think I should listen to her.
Taking some sleeping pills might help me sleep better.
"You're not sick, why are you taking medicine?"
Jiang Zheng tried his best to make his voice sound normal. "How about this, I'll go with you to relax for a few days first. If you keep having dreams, then we'll see a doctor, okay?"
In Duan Suyao's case, sleeping pills are ineffective.
They consulted so many doctors and tried so many methods, but in the end, only that one method worked for her.
Duan Suyao looked up at Jiang Zheng, then suddenly smiled and said, "I have nightmares at night and can't sleep well."
"You can be with me during the day, but can you be with me at night too?"
Why not?
Jiang Zheng forced a smile, a slightly mischievous one, "Just say the word, and I can be with you 24/7. I'll be with you however you want."
Anyway, it's not like I haven't accompanied others before.
Duan Suyao's face flushed red instantly.
"You bastard, are you looking for a beating?"
Jiang Zheng was very serious this time. "I'm not joking with you. I've already written the marriage application. Just say the word and I'll submit it immediately."
Duan Suyao: "..."
"Little landmine, I've been waiting for this day for many years. You can't abandon me after you've taken advantage of me."
...
In the hospital ward!
Jiang Yue also told Lu Jingnian about Duan Suyao.
"I don't know if Yaoyao asked her older brother to go to the doctor with her. On the way here, I noticed that she looked very unwell. She said that she has been having dreams these past few days and has not been sleeping well."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingnian paused in peeling the orange for Jiang Yue, looked up at her, and asked with a puzzled expression, "She didn't tell you what dream she had that kept her up at night?"
Jiang Yue didn't see anything wrong with what Lu Jingnian said, and shook her head, saying, "Yaoyao said she doesn't remember anything after she woke up."
Lu Jingnian handed the peeled orange to Jiang Yue and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your older brother will definitely take good care of her. Didn't you just say that you have to take an exam before going to night school?"
"Go study now. I happen to be free right now, and I can teach you the questions you don't understand."
Jiang Yue nodded and took out the book Shen Min had given her. Lu Jingnian was right; if she went to see Yao Yao now, she might become a third wheel for her older brother. It was better to let them be alone.
She'll ask about Yao Yao's situation when her older brother comes over tonight.
Shen Min prepared junior high school textbooks for Jiang Yue. The original Jiang Yue hadn't even finished junior high school before she started making a fuss about not going anymore. Jiang's family disagreed at the time, and her father beat her for the first time. As a result, Jiang Yue made an even bigger fuss and almost committed suicide because she didn't want to go to school.
The Jiang family was terrified and stopped insisting that she go to school from then on.
Jiang Yue dropped out of school.
Jiang Yue had long forgotten most of the content in her junior high school textbooks, but when she opened them and saw the questions, she knew all of them.
So she didn't look at the books for the first and second years of junior high school, and just left them aside.
He took out his ninth-grade books and pretended to be studying them seriously.
It had started raining outside, so Lu Jingnian couldn't go for a walk and quietly kept Jiang Yue company while she read.
Jiang Yue flipped through the book very quickly, which made Lu Jingnian frown slightly.
"You understood all of this?"
He remembered Jiang Zheng saying that Jiang Yue would stop attending school after finishing the second year of junior high.
This is a textbook for the third year of junior high school.
"I don't understand!"
Jiang Yue answered without looking up as she flipped through the book.
"Then how come you flipped through it so fast?"
Lu Jingnian looked at her suspiciously. He felt that Jiang Yue understood, and that she was very impatient with it.
Jiang Yue didn't care what Lu Jingnian thought. She turned to look at Lu Jingnian seriously and said in a serious tone, "It's because I don't understand it that I flipped through it faster. I did this to get familiar with it first. Once I'm familiar with it, it will be easier for me to learn it later."
