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

Chapter 113 It feels so good to touch

In the ward, warm light softly shone down.

The young nurse, dressed in a pink uniform and wearing a white mask, focused intently on giving the patient an injection.

The man in the hospital bed was in his fifties, his head tilted to the side, his eyes slightly narrowed.

His gaze fell on the other side of the ward, and he muttered to himself, "Sweet, so sweet."

His wife, who was standing nearby, gave him a strange look, and then followed his gaze.

Next to the hospital bed, a handsome young man sat in a chair, almost touching the girl in the bed.

The girl's face was pale, but her features were delicate. Her long black hair cascaded over her soft shoulders, lying straight against her hoodie.

Two people share one pair of headphones.

The white headphone wires hung down from both sides of the earlobes, looking exceptionally clean under the warm light.

Even the air seemed to soften.

The nurse finished applying the medical tape and turned around to see this scene.

Her movements paused for a moment, then her eyes brightened slightly.

They're handsome men and beautiful women!
The man's wife glanced at the nurse's expression, then looked at her husband eating candy, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're so old, why are you acting like a little girl watching the excitement?"

The man smacked his lips and sighed wistfully, "I'm just reminiscing about my youth."

The nurse chuckled and covered her mouth.

On the hospital bed, the glow of the screen reflected in Chu Jiuli's pupils. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were completely absorbed in the story.

Just one more step and I'll be the furthest I've ever been from home.

In Lord of the Rings, Sam, the most powerful support character, uttered this line when he left the Shire.

After watching the trilogy and then seeing this part of the story, one can't help but feel moved by their subsequent hardships and wanderings.

Little Bitmen either never leave home, or once they do, it's a long and arduous adventure.

Zhang Muchen turned his head and glanced at Chu Jiuli beside him.

The girl leaned against the pillow, quietly watching the screen.

She had a faint fragrance, more delicate than lilies, like a flower just opening in the morning.

Zhang Muchen subtly moved his chair a few steps closer to her.

He had deliberately positioned his phone so that the screen faced Chu Jiuli. This way, he could naturally get close to her without seeming abrupt.

A little daily trick can make life more fun.

The movie had been playing for an hour. Chu Jiuli suddenly tapped the screen twice with her fingertip, pausing the video.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"Oh, I'll go with you."

"No need," Chu Jiuli said instinctively.

She tried to move her body slightly to get out of bed, but she was still a little weak.

Chu Jiuli gritted her teeth, stretched out her arms, and struggled to get off the bed while supporting herself on the edge of the bed.

Zhang Muchen stood up to give her his seat, but his eyes remained fixed on her every move.

She gently stepped onto her slippers with her white socks and slowly stood up.

But the next second—

A wave of dizziness washed over me.

Chu Jiuli's legs went weak, and she fell forward instantly.

Zhang Muchen reacted quickly, reaching out to pull her into his arms.

A soft body crashed into his arms, and their warm breaths instantly filled the air between them.

The light from the hospital room illuminated Chu Jiuli's pale yet delicate profile.

They were so close they could hear each other breathing.

Chu Jiuli's eyelashes trembled slightly as she raised her eyes to meet Zhang Muchen's gaze.

In an instant, an image flashed through her mind.

The scene where he tripped over a chair in room 703 and Zhang Muchen pulled him into his arms.

Different scenes, same posture, same temperature.

The bed next door.

The young nurse was skillfully refilling the IV drip for the patient. Just as she finished changing a bottle of cephalosporin, her eyes caught a glimpse of something happening beside her.

The handsome boy had one arm around the beautiful girl, as if he were holding a fragile snowflake.

what?
They're hugging now?

Suddenly showering us with sweetness?

The young nurse unconsciously stopped what she was doing, and the uncle on the hospital bed also secretly craned his neck to look in their direction.

For a moment, the ward fell silent.

"Help me up." Chu Jiuli lowered her eyes.

Zhang Muchen gently supported her arm, his gaze unconsciously falling on her slightly trembling eyelashes. If it were Xiaoyouzi, she would have already blushed and taken several steps back, stammering incoherently.

But the school beauty in his arms remained calm.

but
Zhang Muchen stared at her slightly lowered eyelashes and suddenly paused for a moment.

That gesture of lowering her eyes is so similar to Chu Youting's; the two are almost identical.

The selfie Chu Youting had mistakenly sent him flashed through Zhang Muchen's mind—

The two sisters were wearing black and white sports bras, showing off their beautiful backs.

Zhang Muchen's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his gaze deepened.

No wonder they're sisters.

That's so exciting. No, it's so realistic.

Chu Jiuli leaned against the table next to the hospital bed, her legs still feeling weak.

“I’ll help you, hold on tight,” Zhang Muchen said.

Chu Jiuli did not refuse, and gently held his waist with one hand, while placing her other hand on his broad palm.

Soft fingertips gently pressed against the palm, warm and soft.

Zhang Muchen's fingertips curled slightly.

Such soft hands, so nice to touch.

He glanced sideways at the girl beside him.

Chu Jiuli lowered her eyelashes slightly, her face still somewhat pale. But her eyes and brows lacked their usual coldness, and instead possessed a touch of gentleness.

Zhang Muchen helped her walk slowly toward the restroom.

With each step the girl took, a faint fragrance wafted over.

It smells so enticing.

Unfortunately, the private bathroom in the ward is not far away, just a few steps away.

Frodo escorts the One Ring.

I escorted the school beauty.

I could walk this road for a year.

Cough
He looked down at his clenched, pale hands.

Damn, it feels so good.

No, it's just too beautiful.

The two people walked to the toilet door.

"We're here. Go in by yourself," Zhang Muchen said.

Chu Jiuli nodded slightly and, supporting herself on the door frame, slowly made her way into the restroom.

Zhang Muchen stood outside, listening to the door close softly. At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the ward.

Chu Youting appeared at the door of the ward carrying a bag.

Little grapefruit?
Zhang Muchen stared at her in astonishment.

Chu Youting looked around the ward but didn't see her sister.

"Where's my older sister?" she asked softly.

Zhang Muchen waved his thumb toward the toilet: "Going to the toilet."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm bringing my sister some pajamas," Chu Youting said softly, lifting the bag with both hands.

Zhang Muchen glanced at the bag and thought to himself, "How thoughtful."

"Come in and sit for a while."

"No, I need to go home and wash my sister's clothes." Chu Youting shook her head.

She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhang Muchen: "You...you're not allowed to bully your sister."

"Don't worry, she's a patient."

Chu Youting blinked: "You mean what you say?"

Zhang Muchen smiled.

"I'm leaving now. Bye-bye."

Chu Youting glanced at the closed toilet door, then waved to Zhang Muchen.

Goodbye, little pomelo.

Zhang Muchen waved with a smile.

As Chu Youting's figure disappeared down the corridor, Zhang Muchen squinted at the bag in his hand.

Chu Jiuli's pajamas
I don't know what style it is?

He touched his chin, a sudden curiosity stirring within him.
