The Clever Second Male Lead in a Melodramatic Novel: A Lucky Charm (15)
Mu Wenxi excitedly grabbed Huo Jiangliu's arm immediately: "Eighty percent!"
The doctor adjusted his glasses, smiled, and said, "That's right."
Huo Jiangliu was much calmer than the other two: "When do we start?"
Doctor: "Hmm?"
Huo Jiangliu: "When can we start rehabilitation training?"
Doctor: "Come back for another check-up next week, and we'll create a rehabilitation training plan for you so you can start gradually."
Outside the hospital, Huo Jiangliu felt for the first time that the sky was azure; in his memory, the sky should have been gray and hazy.
On the grass nearby, several little girls and boys in hospital gowns were making flower wreaths. A little girl put a flower wreath on her head and asked a little boy, "Does it look pretty?"
Little boy: "It's beautiful!"
Mu Wenxi: "That's great, Huo Jiangliu, aren't you happy?"
Huo Jiangliu looked away: "I'm very happy to have the opportunity to stand up again."
Mu Wenxi pushed Huo Jiangliu, saying, "I told you you could stand up."
The two people slowly walked away.
The little boy on the grass said to the little girl, "When you get old, I'll push you around like this too."
Little girl: "Okay."
At the Huo residence, Huo's parents were already waiting at home, eager to share the good news with Huo Jiangliu.
Mrs. Huo: "Really eighty percent?"
Mu Wenxi: "Auntie is true."
Mrs. Huo: "That's wonderful, this is absolutely wonderful."
Huo Jiangliu: "I am very grateful to Wen Xi for taking care of me during this time."
Mrs. Huo: "Yes, Xiao Mu is simply our family's lucky star."
Mu Wenxi smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Mr. Huo glanced at Huo Jiangliu, and his usually stern face suddenly softened considerably.
Before the start of the semester, Huo Jiangliu contacted a doctor and began rehabilitation. As his bodyguard, Mu Wenxi was naturally supposed to go, but Huo Jiangliu hesitated for a night and arranged other tasks for Mu Wenxi. He knew that the rehabilitation process would be very difficult and arduous, and he didn't want her to see him in such a disheveled state.
Mu Wenxi: "What mission?"
Huo Jiangliu pointed to the pile of study materials already prepared in the room: "You'll surpass me this semester, and you'll also take the college entrance exam and get into the same university as me."
Mu Wenxi: "Isn't your goal a bit too difficult?"
Heaven knows that Huo Jiangliu's goal was to get into the top university in the country, while the original owner of this body did not have this wish. As for her, she only hoped to get into an ordinary university.
Even if she gets second place in her grade this semester, there's still a year and a half left. Who knows how her grades will be when all three years of knowledge are combined?
Huo Jiangliu tapped the table with his finger. The girl in front of him frowned, looking somewhat resistant, but there was still room for negotiation. He pulled out his trump card: "If you can get into the same university as me, I'll give you a scholarship."
Mu Wenxi: "How much?"
Huo Jiangliu gestured with one hand.
Mu Wenxi thought to herself: Five thousand is good. Five thousand is one or two months' salary for others. Although she is now a little rich, she doesn't mind that it's a small amount. Besides, she still has the original owner's memories of not having enough to eat or wear. She really can't bear to give up this money. Five thousand is not a loss.
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, it's settled then. If I pass the exam, you'll give me five thousand. Let's put it in writing as proof."
She pulled out two sheets of white paper and immediately wrote, "If Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu get into the same university, Huo Jiangliu will have to reward Mu Wenxi with 5,000 RMB. Signature: Mu Wenxi."
But Huo Jiangliu actually said 50,000. He took the receipt, signed his name, and said, "5,000 it is. I can pay the rest later."
Mu Wenxi carefully folded the receipt and put it in his pocket. At this moment, the stack of homework and test papers all turned into money in Mu Wenxi's eyes.
Mu Wenxi: "Don't worry, young master. During your rehabilitation, I will study hard and try my best not to let you down."
Huo Jiangliu: "Okay, then I'll come back and see the results."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Mu Wenxi was diligently writing her exam papers at the Huo residence, while Huo Jiangliu was undergoing rehabilitation at the hospital, falling repeatedly and sweating profusely.
The doctor hesitated, saying, "Let's stop here for today. We can't rush things."
Exhausted, Huo Jiangliu returned home and opened the door to find Mu Wenxi's smiling face.
Mu Wenxi: "Young Master, you're back?"
Huo Jiangliu's fatigue from the day vanished instantly: "I'm back."
Mu Wenxi began to mutter to himself, "Look, this is what I wrote today."
Huo Jiangliu: "Really good."
Mu Wenxi suggested, "Then I'll go with you to your rehabilitation tomorrow."
Huo Jiangliu: "No."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay then, can I give you a massage later?"
Huo Jiangliu looked at her pleading eyes and couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay."
Before going to bed, Mu Wenxi checked the time and, wearing cartoon pajamas, went to Huo Jiangliu's room and knocked on the door: "Young Master? May I come in?"
When Mu Wenxi heard no response, she spoke again: "Huo Jiangliu, I'm coming in."
She entered the room only to find Huo Jiangliu taking a shower in the bathroom, which was why she hadn't heard the knocking. Just as she was about to leave, the bathroom door opened, and the boy, shirtless, was maneuvering his wheelchair to get out.
Upon seeing Mu Wenxi, he exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
Mu Wenxi immediately covered her eyes, left the room without saying a word, and Huo Jiangliu then realized that he hadn't put on his shirt yet and hurriedly put it on.
After he finished dressing, he spoke again: "Come in."
Mu Wenxi opened the door and peeked out. Seeing that Huo Jiangliu was dressed neatly, she walked in and said, "Sorry about earlier."
Huo Jiangliu: "It's nothing."
Mu Wenxi: "Let me give you a massage."
Huo Jiangliu: "Okay."
He lay on the bed with his legs exposed, the blanket covering his upper body as before.
While massaging her, Mu Wenxi asked, "How was your rehabilitation today?"
Huo Jiangliu naturally wouldn't tell her about the difficult process, and could only say perfunctorily, "It's alright."
Mu Wenxi: "Do you feel anything?"
Huo Jiangliu felt his legs getting warm: "Mmm."
Just like the first time Mu Wenxi massaged his legs, he lowered his head to look at Mu Wenxi. She was using her hands forcefully, looking serious and earnest. Suddenly, the image of Mu Wenxi rolling out dough appeared in Huo Jiangliu's mind.
He laughed out loud without realizing it.
Mu Wenxi: "What are you laughing at?"
Huo Jiangliu: "Don't you think you were rolling out dough just now?"
Mu Wenxi: "What did you say? Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore. You actually said I was rolling out dough."
Huo Jiangliu's lips curled into a smile: "Alright, alright, I'm not laughing anymore."
Mu Wenxi turned her head and saw that his lips had fallen, but his eyes were still smiling. However, she was not annoyed and teased, "I didn't expect that there would be people who think their legs are skin."
As Huo Jiangliu watched her fight back, he felt that she had become even more vibrant.
