The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 111 Accompanying the beautiful girl in bed

Inside the ward, the faint scent of lilies filled the air.

Chu Jiuli leaned quietly against the hospital bed, her face still somewhat pale.

Four figures surrounded the hospital bed—Zhang Muchen, Wang Shishi, Chu Youting, and Liu Wuyang.

Looking at the sickly Chu Jiuli, Wang Shishi asked worriedly, "Jiuli, who will be with you tonight?"

Chu Jiuli said softly, "I can do it myself."

"That won't do. It's so inconvenient for you to be alone in the hospital."

Wang Shishi frowned, looking worried.

Liu Wuyang stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over Chu Jiuli, then looking at Chu Youting, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

That's strange, aren't they sisters?

Logically, the younger sister should have stayed with her at the bedside, but Chu Jiuli directly said, "I can do it myself."

Just as Liu Wuyang was about to ask a question, she suddenly felt someone tug at the corner of her clothes.

"Sister Yang, come out for a moment."

Zhang Muchen gestured with his chin toward the door, indicating that she should come out with him.

Liu Wuyang raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Although she said that, she still followed him out of the ward.

In the hallway outside the door, Liu Wuyang leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and looked at Zhang Muchen: "Speak, what is it?"

Zhang Muchen glanced in the direction of the ward and lowered his voice, "Sister Yang, don't reveal that Chu Youting is Chu Jiuli's sister."

Liu Wuyang was slightly taken aback: "Why is it called 'exposing'?"

"Because Wang Shishi doesn't know. And Chu Jiuli doesn't want others to know that Chu Youting is her sister."

Liu Wuyang glanced back at the ward.

Wang Shishi sat by the hospital bed, chatting and laughing with Chu Jiuli.

Chu Youting stood quietly to the side, listening obediently, nodding occasionally, but hardly speaking.

"Jiuli is protecting her younger sister, isn't she? Youting is so well-behaved, she's easily bullied."

After she finished speaking, she stared at Zhang Muchen meaningfully for a few seconds.

"."

Why are you looking at me?
I'm a damn gentleman.

Even if you crawl into my bed, I haven't done anything wrong, okay?

Zhang Muchen increasingly wanted to give Liu Wuyang a good beating.

"You brat, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Wuyang frowned as she looked at Zhang Muchen's suddenly flickering eyes.

"It's nothing." Zhang Muchen glanced at her indifferently.

Woman, you just wait. You'll regret it when I get 100 on my math test.

Inside the ward, Wang Shishi looked at Chu Jiuli, who seemed rather listless, and her playful expression became much less cheerful.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, clearly showing some worry.

"Jiuli, he's a strong and healthy guy. Why don't you let him stay and take care of you?"

"No need, I can manage on my own." Chu Jiuli shook her head weakly.

"Sigh, my dad has been keeping a close eye on me these past few days, so I don't dare stay out all night. Otherwise, I would have stayed." Wang Shishi sighed.

"I'll stay and take care of Sister Jiuli," Chu Youting suddenly said softly.

Wang Shishi was taken aback: "Youting, is it okay if you don't go home tonight?"

"It's okay," Chu Youting whispered.

Wang Shishi tilted her head to look at Chu Youting, then at Chu Jiuli.

Youting is so kind, but can such a well-behaved and gentle girl really take care of people?

"Youting, you should go back too. There's only one small bed here, and you won't be comfortable sleeping there."

Chu Jiuli glanced at the accompanying bed set up in the ward next to her.

It's just a bare, hard board.

Sleeping in that place for one night will leave you aching all over.

Wang Shishi also saw the small wooden bed. She nodded, "Yeah, sleeping in this place for a night must be really uncomfortable. Why don't we let my buddy come over? He's tough." "?"

Zhang Muchen walked in from outside.

As soon as I entered, I heard Wang Shishi promoting herself, saying that she was thick-skinned and tough.

He paused, raised an eyebrow at Wang Shishi, and asked, "Are you going to make me do your hard labor?"

Wang Shishi chuckled and leaned closer, saying, "Isn't this for Jiu Li's own good? How can delicate girls like us sleep on those hard beds? Dude, you're in good shape, so consider it exercise."

Zhang Muchen followed her gaze to the simple cot in the corner of the ward—a bare, hard wooden board without even a decent mattress.

Indeed, he felt it was unfair to make Chu Youting sleep in such a place, considering it a disservice to this delicate young girl.

"I think I'll stay," Chu Youting said softly.

“Youting, let Zhang Muchen stay,” Liu Wuyang suddenly said, crossing her arms. “He’s tough and resilient, more suited to that tough guy.”

"?"

Zhang Muchen's forehead twitched.

Damn it, do you all want to make me a laborer?
Chu Jiuli frowned slightly on the hospital bed, wanting to refuse. But when her gaze fell on the hard bed beside her, she paused for a moment.

It would be unfair for a young child to sleep in such a place.

But let Zhang Muchen stay.
That doesn't seem quite right.
Just as Chu Jiuli was struggling with her thoughts, Zhang Muchen's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Alright, I'll stay. Chu Youting, you can go back now," Zhang Muchen said calmly.

"Oh, but..."

Chu Youting raised her eyes, still wanting to insist on staying.

"No buts. If you want to stay, that's fine too. We can squeeze into that bed together; we should be able to fit." Zhang Muchen glanced at her and smiled.

After he finished speaking, neither Wang Shishi nor Liu Wuyang showed any particular reaction.

To them, Zhang Muchen's words were exactly his usual carefree and joking style, something they were all too familiar with.

But when Chu Youting heard these words, she couldn't help but take a half step back.

She genuinely believed that Zhang Muchen would squeeze onto that hard bed with her to sleep.

"me."

Chu Youting blushed, somewhat flustered, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

"Are you going to stay?" Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow and asked her deliberately.

Chu Youting's eyes darted away, her voice barely a whisper: "I...I..."

"Youting, go home and rest early."

Chu Jiuli spoke softly, making the decision for her younger sister.

The hospital cots were hard and cold; it would be better for Chu Youting to go home and get a good night's sleep than to suffer there.

Chu Youting opened her mouth slightly, wanting to hold on a little longer. But when she met Zhang Muchen's mischievous gaze, she immediately lowered her head.

"Okay," Chu Youting replied softly.

"Then it's settled. My buddy will stay with me at the hospital. Jiu Li, you can just order my buddy around as much as you want."

Wang Shishi walked forward with a smile.

Chu Jiuli's gaze lingered on Zhang Muchen for a moment.

We hadn't originally planned for him to stay. But if he doesn't stay, Xiaoyou will definitely insist on staying to keep him company.

Fine, let this guy stay and sleep on the hard bed.

As punishment for his usual witty remarks.

Thus, as everyone expected, Zhang Muchen became the bedside companion.

Everyone, including Chu Jiuli, thought Zhang Muchen was a laborer and would suffer sleeping on a cold, hard wooden bed.

However, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Zhang Muchen's lips.

Please.

This is supposed to be a beautiful girl's bedmate, okay?
