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

Chapter 122 Nerve
The next day, at the hospital.

Zhang Beifang accompanied Chu Jiuli and Mei Yinglan through the discharge procedures.

The two settled the bill at the window, and Chu Jiuli received a refund of 302 from her bank card.

Her hospitalization cost a total of 1258, of which nearly 1000 was for IV drips and oral medications.

The remaining bed fee and some miscellaneous expenses added up to more than a thousand yuan for two days.

Chu Jiuli looked down at the balance in her WeChat wallet and remained silent.

For her, this amount of money was not a small sum.

He scrimped and saved, only to have it all gone back to him in one illness.

She lowered her eyes, her fingertips tightening slightly.

"Xiao Chu, let me see the invoice and list." Zhang Beifang's warm hand suddenly rested gently on her shoulder.

Chu Jiuli paused for a moment, then silently handed over the receipt in her hand.

Zhang Beifang glanced at it: "My brat said you have medical insurance and can get reimbursed. Keep all these certificates and invoices safe, he'll help you get reimbursed at the school later."

Chu Jiuli was slightly taken aback: "Can it be reimbursed?"

"Of course, the school has enrolled you all in medical insurance, and the government is covering the costs. Take these receipts to that brat; he knows the process."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Chu Jiuli's eyes.

I was so focused on studying that I completely forgot that the school's medical insurance could reimburse a portion of medical expenses.

She quickly and carefully put the receipt into her schoolbag and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle."

"No need to thank me, it was my rascal who told me."

Chu Jiuli hugged her schoolbag, her eyes flashing slightly.

That guy is actually quite reliable.

"Did our son really say he would get reimbursed for Jiu Li?" Mei Yinglan looked at Zhang Beifang suspiciously after finishing the formalities.

"No, I made it up."

"?"

Mei Yinglan frowned and whispered, "Zhang Beifang, you're acting recklessly again."

"Oh, honey, don't worry about it. I'm just helping our son out."

After saying that, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Muchen.

School, classroom.

Zhang Muchen sat in his seat, looking at Zhang Beifang's message.

[Help Xiao Chu with reimbursement!]

He raised an eyebrow and immediately understood.

He and his father always had a tacit understanding; they could know what the other meant with just one message.

"Dude, what's with that smirk on your face?"

Wang Shishi turned around, looked at Zhang Muchen with a slight smile on his lips, and asked curiously.

"Oh, someone assisted me with a pass." Zhang Muchen casually put away his phone.

Wang Shishi tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Assist? What kind of assist?
Never mind, I have more important things to share.

"Dude, my dad called Teacher Liu, and he agreed to let me go to Nanjing!" Wang Shishi's eyes sparkled.

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow: "Didn't your dad increase your credit limit while he was at it?"

"Huh?" Wang Shishi's smile froze. "Uh... no."

Her initial excitement instantly plummeted.

Right, I'm going to Nanjing for fun, how can I do it without money?
"I need to have a serious talk with my dad tonight and ask him to approve a credit line of 100,000 yuan for me," Wang Shishi said earnestly.

"."

Dude, you don't even need to spend this much money to wash your feet.

"As long as my dad approves the quota, we'll fly there."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhang Muchen turned his gaze to the podium and watched as English teacher Li Cuilan walked in.

The first class in the afternoon is English, and the amount of sleep involved goes without saying.

As Li Cuilan began her lecture, most of the students in the classroom entered a semi-dormant mode.

Even though I just finished my afternoon nap, I'm still incredibly sleepy.

Only ten minutes into the class, Wang Shishi was already nodding vigorously.

He scribbled haphazardly on the notebook with his pen, filling half the notebook with a single word.

Despite my best efforts, I still couldn't overcome sleepiness.

In comparison, Zhang Muchen is in much better condition.

Although it didn't matter to him whether he listened to English or not, he still focused on listening to the lessons.

After all, he wants to study hard, and cultivating good listening habits is key.

Keep up the good work, for the Succubus outfit! Zhang Muchen's eyes were fixed on the blackboard.

"Report."

A clear, cool female voice rang out from the classroom doorway.

The drowsy boys looked up and all turned their gazes toward the doorway.

The school beauty is back.

Most of the class's attention was drawn to Chu Jiuli.

Li Cuilan glanced at her, nodded, and gestured for her to return to her seat.

Chu Jiuli carried her schoolbag, her steps were a little slow, and her face was somewhat pale.

"You're back," Zhang Muchen greeted in a low voice.

"Ah."

Chu Jiuli responded softly, glancing at him sideways.

"how do you feel?"

"It's alright." Chu Jiuli lowered her eyes slightly, her voice softening a bit. "I'm very grateful to Uncle and Aunt for taking care of me; the food was delicious."

Zhang Muchen didn't say much, but pushed his notebook onto her desk.

"My English notes, may I borrow them for a look?"

Chu Jiuli looked at the neat notebook, her fingertips gently tracing the cover as she whispered, "Thank you."

"Let's study."

Zhang Muchen propped his head up with one hand and turned his gaze back to the blackboard.

The two did not exchange any further words.

Chu Jiuli looked at the blackboard, her gaze occasionally falling on Zhang Muchen's profile for a few seconds.

This guy……

They studied quite diligently.

The bell rings.

Zhang Muchen stretched, while Wang Shishi lay motionless on the table, completely asleep.

Normally, she would have been excitedly calling out "Jiuli, Jiuli" nonstop.

Zhang Muchen propped her head up and glanced sideways at Chu Jiu, who was still studying.

"Hey, where's the stuff?"

He stretched out his hand.

Chu Jiuli was slightly taken aback.

"Medical record, receipt."

"Oh"

Chu Jiuli silently took it out of her schoolbag and handed it to him.

"I've taken care of it for you."

Zhang Muchen glanced at it and casually slipped it into his notebook.

"Now?"

Chu Jiuli glanced at the time. The break between classes was only ten minutes, and half of it was already over. Did he still have to go get reimbursed?

"It's nothing, it's just an English class. I'll just tell the teacher."

"It's too much trouble, and it will also delay my class," Chu Jiuli shook her head.

“Troublesome? How could it be troublesome?” Zhang Muchen’s lips curled into a smile.

"I'll use my own bank card to get reimbursed. The money will be deposited directly into my account, so it's like I'm getting a free bonus."

"Ok?"

Chu Jiuli was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and reached out to snatch the receipt: "Give it back to me."

Zhang Muchen gently sidestepped her hand, then slammed the notebook containing the receipts onto the table with a loud thud.

"Just kidding, you actually believed that?" He shook his head with a smile. "The bank card for reimbursement must be opened by the person in charge."

He pointed to a blank page in the notebook: "Write down your bank card number."

Chu Jiuli glanced at him, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

She opened her mobile banking app and entered her card number.

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye." Zhang Muchen picked up his notebook and waved to her.

"Remember to treat me to a meal once the money arrives in your account."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared through the back door.

Chu Jiuli stared at the back door for two seconds, then turned around.

"nerve."

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth suddenly curved into a smile.
