“Wanwan, I don’t want to force you, but I feel that this is a step we have to take sooner or later. It’s better to take it sooner rather than later. Be brave and get through this so you can let go of it sooner, understand?”
Qiao Wanwan nodded gently.
"Let's give it a try. The bed is big, and I promise I'll keep it far away from you."
"good."
When Zhan Jingting came out of the bathroom, Qiao Wanwan was already lying on the bed, covered up completely except for her head.
Zhan Jingting lay down on the other side, the distance between the two of them was enough for two or three more people to lie down.
He could sense her nervousness and said gently, "Wanwan, relax, let's chat."
"Um."
Are you going to school?
“I have to go,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Your headache hasn’t been cured yet, so I have to go to school.”
"As long as you're happy, I'll take you to and from school from now on."
"No need, you have your own things to do. I can manage on my own, I'm not a child anymore."
"I want to stay with you as long as possible, even just one more minute."
Qiao Wanwan turned over to look at him. Under the dim light of the night lamp, the man's face looked even more three-dimensional and handsome.
"Zhan Jingting, why do you like me so much? Since you said that night wasn't your first time, you shouldn't have any feelings for me."
"I don't know either," the man countered. "And you? When did you start liking me?"
Qiao Wanwan looked at him and said, "I feel very secure and comfortable with you. I can be myself."
"Wasn't it because I saved you that you were moved?"
"No, of course I am extremely grateful for your saving me, but gratitude is not the same as liking. It is because I liked you first that this gratitude became even more profound. Zhan Jingting, I will spend my whole life repaying you."
"I don't want your repayment." Zhan Jingting held out his hand to her. "Wanwan, I want your affection and deep love, okay?"
Qiao Wanwan blushed slightly, and after a long while, she slowly reached out and placed her hand in his palm.
Zhan Jingting immediately gripped her hand tightly.
"Sweetie, go to sleep."
"Mmm." Qiao Wanwan slowly closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
......
Monday arrived in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Wanwan returned to school.
"Qiao Wanwan!" Zhan Yin ran over as soon as he saw her. "You're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
Qiao Wanwan had prepared herself mentally, but she still felt very uncomfortable thinking about what happened that night. "You can laugh if you want, but I hope you won't spread this around, since it concerns Zhan Jingting's reputation."
"Why would I laugh at you?" Zhan Yin cracked sunflower seeds. "You don't actually think I'd make fun of you about what happened that day, do you? What a joke! I'm a man of principle; I wouldn't use something like that to poke at a girl's sore spot!"
I appreciate this favor.
"Judging from your expression, you still don't know, do you?"
"Know what?"
“My uncle had someone find all the guests who attended the birthday party that day and warned them one by one that he was the one who slept with you and that you were pregnant with his child. This is to keep them quiet. With all the rabble in the capital, they have no choice but to accept it. So no one will dare to talk about you in the future. If they do, they are going against my uncle and will not have a good ending.”
Qiao Wanwan was stunned. She had thought this matter would become the talk of the town, but she never expected that Zhan Jingting had done so much for her behind the scenes.
"Qiao Wanwan, you're amazing! What kind of soul-capturing technique did you use to win over my uncle's heart so firmly?"
"That's right, I know soul-capturing magic. Would you like to try it out?"
"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare." Zhan Yin shrank back in fright. "My uncle specifically called me over to warn me to respect you, or he'll kill me."
Qiao Wanwan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. "People at school don't know who we are, so don't go around telling everyone."
Zhan Yin's lips twitched. "I don't want to know that you're a generation older than me."
“Wait a minute, Zhan Yin,” Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something, “You and Zhan Jingting seem to be enemies, right? Shouldn’t we also be irreconcilable enemies?”
"Qiao Wanwan, you're underestimating the Zhan family." Zhan Yin patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "What I'm doing is just a drop in the ocean for the Zhan family. The truly formidable ones haven't even appeared yet."
"So I don't need to take you seriously at all?"
"You could say that. I have no great ambitions. I just want to eat, drink, and have fun for the rest of my life. I won't compete with my uncle."
Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "If you want to compete, you'd better have the ability, right?"
"Who told you I'm incompetent?" Zhan Yin looked at her suspiciously. "You don't know, do you?"
"Know what?"
Zhan Yin shrank back, "It's nothing, I wouldn't dare say anything about it!"
"That's all very mysterious," Qiao Wanwan said, not taking it to heart. "Let's go to class."
"Um."
During lunch break, Yu Hui called Qiao Wanwan to his office.
"Wanwan, as I told you last time, my prized student has recently returned to China. Here's his business card. Go find him and we can discuss your friend's condition together."
"Thank you, Professor Yu!" Qiao Wanwan happily accepted it, but the next second, her brow furrowed. "Lin Mo?"
"Yes, Lin Mo is your senior, just like you, an all-around medical genius." Yu Hui asked curiously, "Judging from your reaction, you know him?"
"Yes." Qiao Wanwan replied truthfully, "He's the one who treated my leg. One more surgery and it will be back to normal."
"That's wonderful. Since you two know each other, I don't need to introduce you. Lin Mo is a good kid. Go find him, and he will do his best to help you."
