Duan Jiaxu walked to Zhou Shengchen's side and looked at him expectantly.

Zhou Shengchen said, "Auntie's illness should be fine now. She'll wake up in about ten minutes. You can have the hospital do another check-up then. As for what I did earlier, I won't say more."

"I understand, I understand!" Duan Jiaxu said excitedly, holding Zhou Shengchen's hand. "As long as my mother gets better, that's all that matters."

"I have to go now. Remember not to reveal what happened earlier, or the relevant departments might want to talk to you," Zhou Shengchen said, turning to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey," Duan Jiaxu suddenly stopped him, then looked embarrassed. "I know I'm being a bit presumptuous, but could you please save one more person?"

Chapter 150: When I Run Towards You—Su Zaizai

"Who?" Zhou Shengchen asked succinctly.

"My Father!"

"Didn't your dad commit suicide by jumping off a building?"

"He didn't die, but he became a vegetable."

"Auntie, I've asked my uncle, who's a doctor here, to look after things here. Can you take me there now?" Zhou Shengchen said.

Duan Jiaxu glanced at his mother reluctantly and said, "I'll take you there now."

Afterwards, Zhou Shengchen went out to find Uncle Gu Yanfeng and asked him to help look after Duan's mother. Then he went to the sanatorium with Duan Jiaxu.

Yes, Duan Jiaxu's father is not here, but in a sanatorium, the kind that costs tens of thousands a month.

Repeating the previous steps, Zhou Shengchen cured Duan's father, prescribed a remedy for Duan's parents, and left them a stainless steel thermos containing the life-giving water. Zhou Shengchen then left amidst Duan Jiaxu's profuse thanks.

Duan Jiaxu was a friend he respected, so Zhou Shengchen was naturally willing to help him for free.

After leaving the sanatorium, Zhou Shengchen hailed a taxi and headed towards Chenyang Residential Area.

Zhou Shengchen's father's hometown was there, and he had been there many times before, so Zhou Shengchen was quite familiar with everything in Chenyang Community.

By the time we arrived near Chenyang Residential Area, it was already past 1 p.m.

Realizing he hadn't had lunch yet, Zhou Shengchen decided to go to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

However, the weather in Jiangyi is like a child's face, changing in an instant. When we got off the bus, the sun was shining brightly, but as we passed a three-way intersection, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and then large raindrops began to fall.

The rain came suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, the world was shrouded in a misty fog. Even Zhou Shengchen could barely open his eyes, and he was soaked to the bone.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Shengchen then quickly ran towards the noodle shop ten meters away.

When he arrived at the noodle shop, Zhou Shengchen's body suddenly trembled, and then all the rainwater on his body disappeared.

"Boss, a bowl of tomato and egg noodle soup, please." Zhou Shengchen shouted as he entered the noodle shop.

"Okay, coming right away!"

Zhou Shengchen went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of drink that wasn't too cold, then drank it while looking at the rain outside.

There were many pedestrians on the road, all walking quickly with colorful umbrellas in hand.

A few minutes later, the owner came over with a bowl of noodles.

"Young man, it's the dead of winter, getting caught in the rain can make you sick. If you're not in a hurry, sit here a little longer. If you are, you'd better go to the small supermarket across the street and buy an umbrella," the noodle shop owner kindly advised.

"Thank you!" Zhou Shengchen smiled and nodded, then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat with relish.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Shengchen paid and left the noodle shop, by which time the rain had subsided considerably.

As soon as he stepped out of the intersection, Zhou Shengchen saw the supermarket across the street and slowly walked towards the supermarket entrance.

"It's raining, why aren't you running? Why are you walking in the rain? Idiot!!" Su Zaizai couldn't help but complain when she saw a man strolling in the rain without even seeking shelter.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Shengchen looked up and saw only a girl drinking yogurt.

Her fair complexion, delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, and large eyes revealed her inner world, while her small nose and mouth were also quite striking.

After glancing at it, Zhou Shengchen stepped into the supermarket and bought an umbrella.

After getting the umbrella, Zhou Shengchen went straight out the door.

Standing under the eaves at the supermarket entrance, I couldn't help but glance at that lovely girl.

Their eyes met, and only then did Su Zaizai get a clear look at the person in front of her.

I was too far away to see clearly before.

Now that I'm closer, I realize I just insulted a super handsome guy.

His eyes were unreadable, his pupils were deep black, carrying a hint of intimidation, cool and aloof, yet sparkling like stars.

"Su Zaizai, Su Zaizai, why can't you control your mouth? Do you know that because of your mouth, you've missed the chance to make friends with a handsome guy?" Su Zaizai thought in despair.

"Oh no, oh no, I can't watch anymore, my heart is about to jump out of my chest." Su Zaizai immediately lowered her head and sipped the yogurt in her hand, her cheeks puffed out.

Zhou Shengchen looked at the pretty little girl in front of him who looked like a hamster eating, and a smile slowly spread across his eyes, his lips curving upwards.

Unexpectedly, this girl was quite cute, and he couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart.

"Why haven't you left yet? Did you forget something?"

After waiting for a long time without seeing Zhou Shengchen leave, Su Zaizai finally couldn't help but look up to see what Zhou Shengchen was doing.

But as soon as I looked up, I saw the smiling boy in front of me.

Many years later, Su Zaizai is still amazed by the boy she was at that moment.

Zhou Shengchen looked at the girl with yogurt on her face and handed her a tissue from his pocket.

She then pointed to her cheek, indicating that there was something stuck to her face.

Su Zaizai was completely bewildered when the boy handed her a tissue and then pointed to his own face.

"So, does he want me to wipe his face?" Su Zaizai thought to herself, and then she did just that.

Zhou Shengchen knew from the outstretched hand that the girl in front of him had misunderstood him, so he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist that was reaching towards him.

With a helpless smile, Zhou Shengchen took the tissue from the girl's hand, wiped the yogurt off her face, and then threw the tissue into the trash can.

·· ········Requesting flowers···· ··

Su Zaizai's face was flushed, and her heart was pounding.

Zhou Shengchen took out his phone, opened the photo album, found the photo of his college entrance examination results, and then handed it to the girl in front of him, gesturing for her to look.

? ? ? ?

Su Zaizai thought to herself, "What does this mean?"

Seemingly noticing her confusion, Zhou Shengchen explained, "Although I missed the Chinese exam in my college entrance exam, I got full marks in all the other subjects! I'm not the idiot you're talking about."

Upon hearing this, Su Zaizai recalled her complaints about the other person a few minutes earlier, and immediately lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes, somewhat at a loss.

Looking at the sky, Zhou Shengchen said, "The rain is about to stop, aren't we leaving?"

"Huh? The rain has stopped?" Su Zaizai was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that the rain really seemed to be stopping.

After giving Zhou Shengchen a reluctant look, Su Zaizai raised her umbrella and walked towards home.

.... .. ...

Zhou Shengchen shook his head and walked in the direction she had gone.

After walking about thirty meters, Su Zaizai suddenly turned around and stammered, "Why are you following me? My home is nearby."

Zhou Shengchen looked at her strangely: "My home is in Chenyang Community. Is there any other way to get home besides this road?"

Su Zaizai blushed deeply with embarrassment.

What was she thinking just now?

How could someone as handsome as him be a delinquent who stalks girls?

"What a coincidence! My home is right next to Chenyang Residential Area." Su Zaizai composed herself and said with an awkward smile, "Brother, my name is Su Zaizai, you can just call me Zaizai. What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Shengchen, Zhou as in the Zhou emperor and Shengchen as in the birthday tribute."

"Brother, you live in Chenyang Residential Area? But I've never seen you before."

“This is my dad’s hometown. He moved to Jiangzhou after he and my mom got married. I only come here to stay for a few days occasionally during holidays.”

"Oh!"

Su Zaizai nodded, turned around and walked slowly forward, with Zhou Shengchen quickly following.

"Brother, what grade are you in?"

"You're a freshman now, what about you? What year are you?"

"I'm in my final year of junior high."

"Yes, I can go to university in a few years."

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the entrance of Chenyang Residential Area, and it was time to part ways.

"Um...brother, would you mind leaving your WeChat? You get such good grades, I...I'd like to ask you for help in the future!" Su Zaizai's beautiful face was slightly flushed.

"Okay!"

Zhou Shengchen nodded, took out his phone, and added Su Zaizai on WeChat.

Back home, Zhou Shengchen lit incense for his grandparents and then began cleaning the house.

Chapter 151: The Beautiful Girl's First Kiss

Meanwhile, back home, Su Zaizai covered her face with her hands, thinking about the handsome older brother she had just seen, and couldn't help but giggle foolishly.

"I think I'm in love... no, it was love at first sight," Su Zaizai thought to herself.

I wish I could relive those rainy days that have disappeared.

.........

By the time Zhou Shengchen finished cleaning the house, it was already four o'clock.

Knowing he was going to the Gu family's house that evening, he quickly went to a nearby shopping mall to buy some gifts and then headed straight for his Uncle Gu's house.

Gu Yanfeng, also known as Zhou Shengchen's Uncle Gu, is the father of Gu Ran, the second male lead in the TV series "When I Run Towards You".

He and Zhou Shengchen's father were high school classmates, college classmates and roommates, and had an extremely good relationship.
