Chapter 7
The girl in front of me stood with her arms crossed, her slightly upturned lips and gently raised chin demonstrating that she held the initiative in the confrontation.
For Yin Zhihua, who first revealed her hand, she is now on the offensive.
Yin Zhihua looked at it, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed.
"Okay, I said it first."
"Now that we're friends, can you tell me your name?"
The boy was also wearing a hospital gown. His skin seemed even fairer than Jin Chuwan's, but he didn't look like a seriously ill patient.
Jin Chuwan hugged herself and slowly took half a step back. She was a little embarrassed because she wasn't very good at this kind of self-introduction.
"Jin Chuwan, my name is Jin Chuwan."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhihua raised an eyebrow slightly. He felt as if he had heard the name somewhere before, but he quickly dismissed the brief doubt. He put his arm around Jin Chuwan's shoulder and smiled.
"Come on, Wanwan, let's go eat!"
Jin Chuwan froze for a moment after being embraced. Even though she had lived two lives, this was the first time she had encountered such an overly familiar and oblivious person.
We've only just met, doesn't this person feel uncomfortable?
Jin Chuwan resisted as Yin Zhihua cheerfully helped her out of the ward.
"It's only five o'clock, and there's practically nothing in the cafeteria..."
"Don't worry, you'll get it when you get there."
"I don't want to eat—"
"It's okay, you'll want to eat it too if you see me eating it."
...
To Jin Chuwan's surprise, just as Yin Zhihua had said, the hospital cafeteria had already started serving food at this time, and the cafeteria staff seemed to know him very well, with some even greeting him occasionally.
Kim Cho-wan followed behind, finding it all rather novel.
Because of the abundant ingredients, the canteen of Jiangbei Central Hospital is quite famous in the city. When they arrived, long queues had already formed in front of some windows. Yin Zhihua's expression turned serious when he saw this, and he immediately abandoned Jin Chuwan and rushed over.
However, Jin Chuwan didn't care. She found a corner seat, sat down, and rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching Yin Zhihua.
It's not for any other reason than that he's just too conspicuous.
That silver hair was impossible to ignore, and Yin Zhihua seemed to enjoy being the center of attention.
Jin Chuwan couldn't help but sigh; she suddenly had the illusion that her idol worship had backfired.
The Yin Zhihua in the book is completely different from this—
He should be the kind of character who is steady and reserved, yet sensitive and insecure, and needs a warm-hearted female lead to save him.
As the guests at the next table sat down, Jin Chuwan smelled the faint aroma of food and suddenly felt a little hungry.
Fortunately, not long after, Yin Zhihua returned with a tray full of food, and Jin Chuwan was surprised to find that he had chosen mostly her favorites.
"It seems we have similar tastes."
"Really?" Yin Zhihua laughed upon hearing this. "That's great! We can have meals together more often from now on."
Upon hearing this, Jin Chuwan suddenly looked up at Yin Zhihua.
In fact, there are often three empty seats in Haidi's special class.
One is Jiang Chen, one is Ming Jing, and the third is sitting right in front of her.
This guy doesn't seem to have ever been to school.
But how come he always ranks in the top three in the whole school in exams?
This is so unfair!
Perhaps it was Jin Chuwan's gaze that made Yin Zhihua feel a little pressured, so he pushed the tray towards Jin Chuwan and then asked cautiously.
"Why don't you choose first?"
Jin Chuwan didn't stand on ceremony; it was he who insisted on dragging her out in the first place.
She moved the only fish porridge in front of herself, then glanced at Yin Zhihua, whose face was full of heartache and reluctance.
"By the way, how did you find my place?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhihua finally looked away from the fish porridge. He stroked his chin and then gave an ambiguous smile.
"Keep it a secret—"
In fact, Yin Zhihua never went to see Jin Chuwan.
He went to find Jiang Chen.
Because of that chance glance earlier.
In his memory, his friend was always arrogant, aloof, and liked to act cool and stylish. This was the first time he had ever seen such an expression on his face.
Well, how should I put it?
If I had to use an adjective, would it be 'focused' or 'expectant'?
So even though Yin Zhihua isn't usually one to join in the fun, he still made a point of going out.
He was just a little curious.
Who is Jiang Chen here to see?
Unfortunately, Yin Zhihua did not find Jiang Chen, but he unexpectedly found the girl he bumped into during the day.
He had only intended to say hello, but he changed his mind the moment he saw Kim Cho-wan.
He decided to tease her.
Because of his outstanding family background, talent, and appearance, Yin Zhihua is never short of people who like him. Generally speaking, as long as he smiles, the girl opposite him will blush with shyness.
But Kim Cho-wan seemed, perhaps, probably really disliked him.
This is a very novel feeling.
Therefore, Yin Zhihua decided to observe Jin Chuwan closely.
But he didn't intend to tell her.
Fortunately, Jin Chuwan didn't press the matter further, because the fish porridge really tasted good, and she had already begun to forgive Yin Zhihua.
"Listen carefully, although I agree to be friends with you, it's best if this is something only the two of us know."
Jin Chuwan thought about it carefully. Although Yin Zhihua was currently in the hospital, he would return to school after recovering. Generally speaking, especially for online novels from around 2000, girls who got too close to the male protagonist would definitely run into trouble.
Although those are basically the treatment reserved for the female lead, what if?
Yin Zhihua isn't like Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen is aloof and treats everyone equally, so she feels at ease. But Yin Zhihua is clearly the type who has many friends.
"But I don't understand, what do you mean by 'only the two of us know'?"
"That is, if you or my other friends are around, let's pretend we don't know each other."
Jin Chuwan scratched her head. She hadn't drafted many contracts before, so she was still a little embarrassed about signing contracts on the spot.
The boy looked down and tore open the packaging box, then picked up the small spoon on the tray and poked it twice in the air.
"So, if I'm with my friends, you won't greet me, and if you're with your friends, you'll act like you don't know me?"
After circling the pudding twice in the air, Yin Zhihua looked up at Jin Chuwan.
Is that what Wanwan meant?
Jin Chuwan nodded very seriously because Yin Zhihua's understanding was correct.
For some reason, when she met Yin Zhihua's gaze, she felt inexplicably guilty.
"If I don't agree, will Wanwan stop being my friend?"
Jin Chuwan nodded again.
"That……"
The boy rolled up a piece of pudding and placed it on the tip of his tongue, then lazily leaned back in his chair.
"Oh well."
Anyway, it's just an object of observation.
Both of them were thinking the same thing.
Just keep a proper distance; there's no need for them to get too close anyway.
but.
"How about we exchange phone numbers?"
As Yin Zhihua spoke, he took out his phone from his hospital gown. Jin Chuwan was surprised to find that he was using a touchscreen phone. She blinked, a little envious.
"good."
As Jin Chuwan was entering the number, she suddenly heard someone outside the cafeteria angrily shouting Yin Zhihua's name.
Yin Zhihua was clearly startled. He urged Jin Chuwan to hurry up, then grabbed Pudding and ran out.
Jin Chuwan looked back and saw that it was the nurse from earlier that day.
Then she became puzzled again: Had Yin Zhihua not properly treated his illness?
At this moment, the boy who had already escaped to the cafeteria entrance suddenly turned around and waved to her. Jin Chuwan felt a little embarrassed, so she simply turned her head and pretended not to see him.
Then, shortly after, her phone vibrated.
"I am Yin Zhihua!"
You need to reply to my message!
Don't pretend you can't see it!
Jin Chuwan looked at the rows of exclamation marks and suddenly felt a little confused. She didn't know if it was right or wrong to be friends with Yin Zhihua.
