Chapter 136: Chance Encounter/Losing Face

  Luoye returned to Mary's hospital after nine o'clock in the evening. The nurse, Liu, was persuading Sang Qingqing to rest early. Seeing Luoye come in, Sang Qingqing's lips curled up with a happy smile: "Ye'er, didn't I tell you not to come? With Liu here, it's enough."

  Lu Ye smiled slyly, "Lying isn't good for kids, Qingqing jie, you're not sleeping yet, aren't you waiting for me?"

  "Can't you just keep it from me?" Qing's face flushed with a faint red glow.

  Lu Ye sincerely praised: "Qing Qing Jie, you are so beautiful!" In the past few days, Sang Qingqing's complexion had recovered to a rosy glow. Her pale and slender face, wrapped in a large hospital gown, exuded an endearing charm that made one want to cherish her from the bottom of their heart.

  Sang Qingqing's face turned red as she shook her head: "Yexi, can you please not say such cheesy things?"

  Luoye nodded: "Qingqing sister, you're really ugly!"

  Sang Qingqing: "......"

  Liu's aunt smiled with her mouth corners almost reaching her ears, having been a caregiver for over five years. This time taking care of Sang Qingqing was the most relaxing and happiest experience.

  "Yèr, can I come in now?" A helpless voice came from the doorway of Luo Feng.

  "Come on in, come on in."

  "Hello, Qingqing." Luo Feng greeted her and then suspiciously stared at his treasured little sister: "I'm saying, have you forgotten about me?"

  "No, I was just about to let you in. You spoke up at the right time." Luo Ye smiled and grasped her brother's arm: "It's getting late, why don't you hurry back? I'll see you out."

  Luofeng waved his hand: "Qingqing sister, I'm leaving now. I just sent Ye over and said hello to you on the way."

  The green looked at the time on the wall: "Indeed it's late, then I won't keep you, Luofeng goodbye."

  After the siblings left, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but say: "Miss Luo has a great personality, and her brother's personality is also good. Having such a pair of children is truly a blessing for their parents!"

  "Yes. Their character is indeed good." Qing Qing let out a light sigh: "I've seen countless children of high officials, but her siblings are truly one of a kind."

  "High-ranking official's children?" After speaking, Liu's sister covered her mouth with a embarrassed expression: "Miss Sang, I just had some unexpected thoughts. Don't worry, I won't speak out of turn."

  Cang Qingqing, realizing her mistake, smiled awkwardly: "It's okay. Let's just forget what we said."

  "Right, right, right..."

  ……

  Lu Ye pulled Lu Feng, who was rushing forward: "Brother, don't rush like the wind, Liu Ying is on the early shift today and got off work early."

  "Didn't you say it earlier? You bad girl, I was so nervous standing outside just now."

  "Haha...... Brother, you scared the little nurse so much, you really have skills. Don't you think that if she were here, I would make you wait outside?"

  "You obviously forgot about me, what does this have to do with anything!" Luo Feng tapped his sister's forehead: "How come I feel like you care more about Qian Mei than about me?"

  "Jealous?" Luo Ye said, pinching Luo Feng: "I've told you so many times, now there's only Sang Qingqing, and yet you're making mistakes again."

  "Have mercy, have mercy! I was wrong, isn't that enough?!" Luo Feng's face was filled with gloom, he really felt that Little Sister was being too kind to that woman, it didn't suit Little Sister's personality at all.

  Luo Ye grasped her brother's arm tightly: "Brother, she is so pitiful. Now is the time when she is most vulnerable. The only thing that supports her to live on is this familial affection I give her. She is willing to accept it because what she has been longing for since growing up is the familial affection she experienced in childhood."

  She is afraid that after death she may never feel again, so she is willing to choose to live on. If I give her a slightly distant feeling, she may immediately go to the end of the road.

  The road she walked was the one we almost took. What she went through was what we almost had to go through, and after all that, she can still accept this affection from me, which is already a rare thing.

  Today when I came in, the expectation in her eyes really pained me. Brother, from now on let's treat her as our own sister and be a little kinder to her, it's also redemption for us.

  "Alright, I'll listen to Ye'er." Luo Feng didn't feel as deeply about this matter as Luo Ye did. But he acknowledged his sister's words, Sang Qingqing was indeed too pitiful, having multiple sisters wouldn't be bad either.

  As soon as they arrived at the hospital entrance, Luo Feng touched his sister's head: "Okay, let's go back. Originally, there was no need to send it, I just wanted to chat with Ye Er for a few more words. This period of time has been busy, and Ye Er is also busy. It feels like we haven't chatted in a long time."

  "It's been a lot better in the past, bro..." Luo Ye's expression suddenly turned serious: "I won't interfere with who you like, but if you have someone you like, you must tell me. I don't want Nono to get hurt."

  "Think about it, the student union has to help with the school's 10th anniversary dinner party. As the vice president of the student union, I'm even busier now. At that time, Ye Er must go and support me, see how my organizational skills are."

  "Brother, you're getting better and better. Don't worry, I'll definitely go. And what I said earlier, don't take it as a joke."

  Brother is getting more and more excellent, the girls who like brother will naturally become more and more, maybe one day I'll meet the one that suits my heart, this is me taking preventive measures in advance.

  "Brother, remember, if you dare to deceive me, be careful of severe punishment. By the way, tomorrow you need to accompany Da Bai and Da Huang for a run, and also inform Yang Ma that from now on, give more vegetarian food to Da Bai and Da Huang, as a balanced diet is the key to longevity."

  Luofeng's face fell: "Alright, Ye'er hurry back. I'm leaving."

  "Brother, you know both things now, right?" Luo Ye asked again, still worried.

  "Got it, got it!" Luo Feng replied hastily and left quickly, afraid that his sister would continue to pester him about this issue. The thing was, his sister had actually hit the nail on the head - recently, he had been running into more and more female classmates who were trying to flirt with him.

  Tired of coping, he thought of Jiang Zheng saying that Ye Xuan's cold face made many girls dare not get close to him, so he also pretended to be cool. This matter must not be known to his sister, or she would tease him in some way.

  Luoye's smile at the corner of her mouth suddenly disappeared, and the distance between Xingnuo and his brother, which had just been shortened, seemed to have grown farther apart again. Alas, such things are beyond human control, let's just follow the will of heaven.

  Just two steps back, someone shouted in doubt: "Luoye?"

  Following the sound, a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was standing in the hall looking at her, with surprise and slight hesitation in his eyes. Luo Ye's lips curled up into a faint smile: "Zhu Jiangyu, hello."

  "Hello Luo Ye. I really didn't expect to run into you here." Zhu Jiang's sunny and handsome face suddenly showed concern: "Is someone in your family ill?"

  "Yes, one of my distant sisters is ill, and you, why are you here?" Reuniting with this boy again, Luo Ye felt no strangeness in her heart. Last time at Song Meng's wedding banquet, the regret in his eyes was clear, but he didn't greet her after all, which indeed matched his proud personality.

  "Hey, wasn't it raining a few days ago? My dad's injured wound got rained on and now it's infected. His arm and half of his body are all swollen."

  "Really? Then take good care of yourself. Wishing you a speedy recovery, uncle."

  "Thank you."

  The two fell silent for a moment before Luo Ye coughed softly: "Zhu Jiangyu, I'm going back to the infirmary. See you later!"

  "Goodbye." Zhu Jiangyu suddenly reacted and hastily shouted: "Luo Ye, wait!"

  "What's up?"

  "Uh, what was that just now..."

  "My brother, how. Do you know him?"

  "I don't know him." Zhu Jiangyu visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought he was your boyfriend all along."

  Boyfriend? Luo Ye was taken aback, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was also normal. Nowadays, many girls call their boyfriends "ge", and she and Luo Feng looked similar, so being misunderstood was also normal.

  "Are you yelling at me just to ask about this?" Luo Ye looked at him with a smile all over her face, and seeing his awkward and stiff expression again, she suddenly felt a sense of closeness.

  Zhu Jiangyu looked at Luo Ye seriously: "Not that, Luo Ye, I want to know which university you plan to take the entrance exam for."

  "How about that? Want to take the entrance exam for the same school as me?" Luo Ye looked at him in surprise: "Don't tell me you're planning to take the entrance exam for the same university as me."

  "Yes, that's what I think. I want to go to the same school as you, let you get to know me, and then you can decide whether to reject me or not, give me another chance, okay?"

  "Little Zhu, I'm telling you, my mock exam this time ranked 16th in the class." Luo Ye covered her forehead with a flushed face. Her state had been really poor those few days, and this score was truly embarrassing. She let out a light cough and continued: "You're a top student at Number One High School; if we were to attend the same university, wouldn't everyone laugh at us? You say?"

  "If you're willing, I'll help you with your studies, okay?" Zhu Jiangyu looked at Luo Ye expectantly.

  "No need, I will rely on my own ability to fight for a year. It doesn't matter if I tell you which school I want to take the exam for. GF University is a top-notch military academy. Do you think I'm a bit crazy? But that's my goal. If I don't get in, I'll go straight into the army. Hmm, or maybe you can conclude now that I might just go straight into the army."

  Looking at Zhu Jiang's O-shaped mouth, Luo Ye particularly wanted to help him close it. Considering the action was a bit ambiguous, she restrained herself and didn't move her hand, turning back to return to Sang Qingqing's ward.

  Jiang Yu slowly came back to his senses and returned to the ward, Zhu Guo Hong looked at her son with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong, you look unhappy? And where is the midnight snack you bought?"

  "I'm not hungry anymore, so I didn't buy any." Zhu Jiangyu forced a smile: "Dad, I'm happy."

  "You haven't even smiled yet, and your face is already like that?" Zhu Guohong chuckled: "What's on your mind, tell Dad about it. Men should speak out when they have something to say, bottling it up in their hearts and getting angry is what women do."

  "Dad, Mom is going to scold you again." Zhu Jiangyu thought for a moment, this matter was not suitable for discussion with others, his old man was experienced and knowledgeable, maybe he could even give him some advice. So he simply told his dad everything that had happened between him and Luo Ye, and finally let out a light sigh: "Dad, I really don't understand, is she overconfident or doesn't know what's important?"

  "Aren't you saying the same thing over and over again?" Zhu Guohong patted his son's head: "Son, from childhood to adulthood, you've always been smooth sailing. The matter with Luo Ye has just given you a wake-up call - when looking at people, don't just look at surface appearances."

  The mayor's daughter is absolutely not ordinary, just from the fact that she single-handedly saved Wen Village, it's not ordinary. As for her previous behavior, whether it was intentional or whatever, we won't pursue it, anyway, her current performance is absolutely stunning.

  Besides, if you really want to catch up with her, it's not an easy task. Rumor has it that she is the fiancée of Ye Xuan, the son of the Night family, who saved your dad this time. Your dad said you're no match for Ye Xuan, and you must feel resentful, thinking that at his age, you shouldn't be inferior to him. But at least for now, you're not on par with him, right?

  Zhu Jiang's eyes widened in shock as he stared at his old man, and after a while, he came back to himself: "Dad, you actually knew about Luo Ye, and that night with Xuan, it was all true?"

  "Yes, it's all true. You've always been considerate of your parents, studying well and having your own ideas. Dad has always given you the freedom to develop on your own, hoping that you can live a happy life."

  As for early love, I and your mother have the same view, as long as it doesn't affect your studies, we won't interfere with you too much, so I've never asked you about these things.

  "Unexpectedly, my son is quite good at picking people, and he picked the mayor's... oh no, the secretary's daughter! Son, this is a tough battle, and Dad doesn't think you can handle it!"

  Zhu Jiangyu couldn't help but smile wryly: "Dad, you're still joking with me at a time like this. Do you think Luo Ye's plan to take the military academy exam is reliable?"

  Zhu Guohong shook his head: "Dad doesn't dare to make a conclusion, but feels that the child is not an idealist."

  "Should I give up on QH and apply for GF?"

  "No need to rush to a conclusion, there's still plenty of time, and you'd better figure out whether you really like Luo Ye or just find her attractive again."

  Only when you have figured yourself out can you decide what to do next. To be honest, the fact that you are struggling with this today just goes to show that your feelings for her aren't that deep.

  "Or maybe what you call 'liking' is just a superficial phenomenon. Dad isn't intentionally trying to strike you down, but hopes that you can understand what it is that you really want."

  Zhu Jiangyu's expression relaxed: "Dad, I understand what you mean. Do you want me to help you turn over?"

  "Alright, this numbness is really uncomfortable. Hurry up and finish translating, then you can leave. Don't worry, I have Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang to keep me company."

  ……

  "The little lazy worm hasn't gotten up yet, hehe......" Luo Ye was sleeping dazedly, feeling that her head had been touched, and reflexively grabbed over to bite, then quickly woke up, sat up straight, "Uncle Jiang you're here?"

  "Come on, little lazy worm... which direction are you looking at?"

  Lu Ye rubbed her eyes and finally woke up completely. Her face turned red, she was actually facing away from Jiang Zheng, facing the wall and shouting "Uncle".

  She quickly turned around, feeling a sudden darkness in front of her eyes. She looked up to see Ye Xuan staring at her with a smile in his eyes. Thinking about her embarrassing behavior just now, her face became even redder. In a fit of anger and embarrassment, she shouted: "Why did you all come in without knocking?"
