"Captain Xu, I see you're here." Li Jiaojiao pushed the door open and bumped into Lu Hongming and Xu Meili who were about to go out.
"Didn't you come here yesterday? Don't come again." Xu Lei's face immediately frowned when he saw Li Jiaojiao.
"How do you treat a girl like that, kid?"
"Girl, come in and sit down. You are the girl from yesterday, right?"
Old Mrs. Xu saw the girl's parents. They were dressed well, so their family must be well off.
Besides, she brought so many things to see the third brother, how could we chase her away?
Xu Lei frowned and ignored them.
…
Xu Meili and Lu Hongming walked out, side by side.
Xu Meili thought about it and decided to say it out loud because she didn’t want to regret it.
"Brother Lu, I am especially grateful to you for what happened last time. If you hadn't saved me, I don't know what the consequences would have been."
Every time she thinks of it, a sweet smile appears on Xu Meili's face.
Every girl can't resist the scene of a hero saving a beauty, and Lu Hongming's figure has always been lingering in her mind.
Ever since she met Lu Hongming, Xu Meili has no room for anyone else in her eyes.
Although she knew that her identity did not match his, she wanted to fight for it once.
She has been lucky since she was a child.
Whatever you want, you can achieve.
I believe it will work this time too.
"It's nothing, these are all trivial matters. What's more, you should thank your third brother more for what happened last time. If it weren't for your third brother's decisive action and the tacit cooperation between us, it wouldn't have been so smooth."
Although Lu Hongming had a good impression of Xu Meili and the girl was pretty, they had not yet reached the level of romantic love.
For Lu Hongming, Xu Meili is the biological sister of his good friend Xu Lei, which means she is his half sister, nothing more.
Xu Meili felt a little disappointed when she heard Lu Hongming say this.
She didn't know why, but she felt a little nervous.
"Brother Lu, I...I have something to tell you." Xu Meili looked at Lu Hongming firmly.
What Xu Meili didn't know was that the moment Jiang Yuzhu traveled through time, her halo as the heroine began to disappear.
This world has new vitality and is operating according to its own will. It is no longer just the one-sided world in the book.
Each character is in control of himself.
No longer a bubble constructed virtually.
It became a real world.
Lu Hongming seemed to know something and looked at Xu Meili with a serious face.
"I... I like you." Xu Meili mustered up the courage to say what she had always wanted to say but had not dared to.
"Meili, I know you're a very good girl, and I appreciate your love for me, but... I already have someone I like, and I don't want to hold you back. I'll just pretend you never said these words, and you're still my sister."
Lu Hongming didn't want to end up with Xu Lei no longer being brothers because of this incident. He had to act decisively. Any hesitation would only hurt both of them.
He can understand that a girl who is just beginning to fall in love will develop feelings for the opposite sex who saved her.
But he didn't want Xu Meili to waste her time on him.
"Brother Lu, is this true?"
"You are not lying to me, can you tell me who she is?"
Xu Meili couldn't believe it was true.
She really wanted to know what a girl that Brother Lu liked was like.
"I'm sorry, I can't."
"But I must make it clear to you because of my relationship with your third brother. I hope you can handle your emotions well. Your third brother and I are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. I don't want this incident to affect our relationship."
"You are Xu Lei's sister, which is equivalent to half a sister to me. If you encounter difficulties and come to me, I will definitely do my best to help you. As long as it is within our ability, I will help you, but the only thing is emotional..."
Lu Hongming has made his words very clear.
It is impossible for him to be with Xu Meili.
Xu Meili didn't know why, but she felt like a piece of her heart was missing, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.
"Really... is there no possibility at all?"
"I have to tell you, no." Lu Hongming was very firm.
"I see."
"Brother Lu, I... I won't accompany you anymore. I'll go back first." She had already been rejected, so how could she still have the face to keep pestering Lu Hongming.
Lu Hongming watched Xu Meili run back to the hospital before he left.
Jiang Yuzhu was surprised to see Xu Meili running in crying, "Comrade Lu, are you leaving?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going back to get some clothes for Xu Lei."
"Thank you then, and this morning...thank you for the breakfast." Jiang Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed. She came here by herself and asked someone to bring her breakfast.
"It's okay." Lu Hongming smiled.
"Okay, I'll go back to the ward first. I'll make chicken noodle soup for lunch. Come over and have some."
Jiang Yuzhu has already rented a house for thirteen yuan a month. It is a bit expensive, but the house has an independent stove, so she does not need to share a kitchen with the landlord, which can avoid many problems. Jiang Yuzhu would rather spend more money to rent this expensive house.
The room was spacious enough, with a bed and table, a wardrobe and chairs, and a stove with a chimney extending outside through the window.
With this small stove, cooking is much more convenient.
Jiang Yuzhu was about to go back and ask Xu Lei if he wanted to eat anything.
Then she went shopping for groceries.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You go."
Jiang Yuzhu left with a happy face. She had rented a house very smoothly and was quite satisfied with the location, which was only a few minutes away from the hospital.
Lu Hongming looked back at Jiang Yuzhu's cheerful back, then turned and left.
"Would you like to have some? This is an apple I peeled with great difficulty." A sweet voice came from the ward.
"I don't want to eat." Xu Lei turned his head and refused.
"You are such a jerk, kid! Jiaojiao peeled an apple for you specially, but you don't even appreciate it." Old Mrs. Xu scolded her son.
"Look, Auntie has said that. This is my first time peeling an apple." Li Jiaojiao insisted on giving it to Xu Lei and held the apple for a long time.
But Xu Lei just didn't appreciate it and ignored him.
Li Jiaojiao felt very aggrieved.
"Hey, you knew I was back, so you peeled an apple for me."
Jiang Yuzhu grabbed the peeled apple, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.
"Well, the apple is pretty good, very juicy and sweet. But your apple peeling technique is not very good. I'll just make do with it. I give you a 50. You need to work harder."
Jiang Yuzhu bit the apple with a smug look on her face.
Click, click.
Just eating the apple under everyone's gaze.
