Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

"Ah Yuan, I need some peace and quiet."

After replying to this message, Xiang Mingche stopped responding to any more messages Si Yuan sent.

He looked heartbroken.

He didn't reply to Si Yuan or take the initiative to look for her; instead, he went to the hospital.

Since Si Yingying was hospitalized, as her older sister, she naturally had to go and visit her.

In the afternoon, Si Yuan bought a bouquet of lilies and went to the hospital.

"What's wrong with that patient in VIP room 618? She's clearly recovered, and the doctor said she could be discharged, but she keeps complaining of aches and pains and insists on staying a few more days. I think she's just faking it."

"Is she rich because she wears and uses designer brands? The people who come to see her are all obviously not ordinary."

"If you have money, go stay in a hotel! Hospital beds are for other patients!"

"Not everyone can afford a VIP ward. The doctor didn't say anything afterward, so let's not worry about it."

The two nurses walked and complained to each other, and Si Yuan overheard their conversation.

Si Yingying's hospital room is the 618 VIP room.

As soon as she arrived at the ward door, she heard Si Yingying happily making a phone call.

"You said it yourself, you'd take me out for something delicious after I'm discharged from the hospital."

She smiled shyly, not knowing what the other person had said.

"Will you come keep me company tonight?"

"I've gotten used to sleeping with my head on your arm. I won't be able to sleep well if you don't come."

"If you don't sleep well, your surgical wound will heal more slowly."

"Okay, I'll wait for you then~~~"

After hanging up the phone, Si Yingying smiled even more sweetly and even kissed the phone twice.

She looked like a little girl deeply in love.

The only person who could elicit such an expression from Si Yingying is Xiang Mingche.

Xiang Mingche didn't have time to reply to her WeChat messages, but he did have time to chat on the phone with Si Yingying.

Si Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she knew why Si Yingying was unwilling to be discharged from the hospital.

"Knock knock knock—"

Si Yingying was having a good time, but when she saw it was Si Yuan, her smile vanished instantly. "What are you doing here?"

Si Yuan placed the flowers on the bedside table. "I came to see you."

"I'm almost ready to be discharged from the hospital, and you're only now coming to see me. Isn't that a bit insincere?"

Si Yuan smiled. "You're still in the hospital, aren't you?"

"..."

Si Yingying couldn't argue with Si Yuan, but the thought that Xiang Mingche and Si Yuan had broken up made her incredibly happy.

Although she missed a great show the night before the school anniversary celebration due to appendicitis, the outcome was good.

"Why are you the only one here? Where's Brother Mingche?"

Si Yingying asked the question knowing the answer already. After asking, she got out of bed and went into the bathroom to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror.

Si Yuan stood at the bathroom door looking at her. "There's been some misunderstanding between us. He's angry with me."

Si Yingying almost burst out laughing, but she managed to hold it in.

"What misunderstanding could make Brother Mingche so angry?"

"He mistakenly thought I was having an affair with Li Jiale."

Si Yingying glanced at Si Yuan sideways.

"That young master Li, he seems to really like you. I didn't expect your face to be so popular."

Si Yuan remained calm. "Why don't you ask me how he misunderstood that I was having an affair with Li Jiale?"

Si Yingying finished applying her lipstick and looked at her, "Then tell me."

Si Yuan entered the room and locked the bathroom door.

Si Yingying was stunned by her actions, then frowned instantly. "What are you doing?"

Si Yuan took out her phone and smiled, "I recently discovered a really nice song, I'll play it for you."

After she finished speaking, she turned on the music.

A massive symphony orchestra instantly filled the bathroom.

Si Yingying couldn't understand Si Yuan, but she felt that the current Si Yuan was terrifying. "I don't want to listen, I want to leave."

She was about to leave when Si Yuan grabbed her hair and pressed her face against the washbasin.

Si Yingying struggled, and Si Yuan struck her wound with her elbow.

Although the wound had almost healed, it was not completely healed. This blow caused Si Yingying to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Si Yuan, how dare you hit me—"

"Li Jiale held the jade pendant that Xiang Mingche had given me, saying that it was a gift from me to him."

Si Yuan's voice was calm, as if she were stating something that had nothing to do with her.

Si Yingying listened with trepidation.

"It's understandable that you like Xiang Mingche and want to have him, but you shouldn't have stolen the jade pendant and conspired with Li Jiale to scheme against me."

Water is flowing from the tap and is almost filling the pool.

Si Yuan slowly turned off the water.

"You're framing me!"

Si Yingying remembered that Si Yuan was holding her down tightly.

That damned Si Yuan, she looks so delicate and weak, where does she get such strength?

"You and Li Jiale have an ambiguous relationship, and your embarrassing photos have even been leaked on the campus network. Not only do you not reflect on your actions, but you actually— um…"

Si Yuan grabbed Si Yingying's hair and pressed her face into the pool.

"Waaaaah—"

Si Yingying shook her head and struggled, like a drowning dog.

Si Yuan stared at her coldly, her pale and aloof face devoid of any expression.

Si Yingying is usually very demanding and acts like a princess, ordering the nurses around in the hospital.

Before Si Yuan arrived, she asked the nurse to buy her some roasted sweet potatoes.

The nurse bought it, but didn't see Si Yingying in the ward. She heard music coming from the bathroom.

This young lady is playing music loudly again; she really thinks the hospital is her own home.

"Knock knock knock—"

The nurse knocked on the bathroom door.

When Si Yingying heard the knocking, it was as if she had heard the voice of a savior, and she struggled even more fiercely.

Si Yuan scooped Si Yingying up, and Si Yingying opened her mouth in a disheveled state, about to shout...

Si Yuan's words caused her face to change drastically, and she felt as if a large stone was stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to make a sound.

"There are security cameras in my room."

Si Yingying looked at Si Yuan in disbelief.

Si Yuan smiled brightly at her, "How did you get into my room that day? How did you steal the jade pendant? The security camera captured it all clearly."

"you……"

For the first time, Si Yingying realized how terrifying Si Yuan was.

"I didn't tell my mother about you because I didn't want to upset her. I thought it was just a jade pendant, so I could just steal it. I never expected you would give it to Li Jiale."

"You wanted to ruin my reputation, but alas, your hopes have been dashed."

Si Yuan lied to Si Yingying; there were actually no surveillance cameras in her room.

But that's not important. A guilty conscience always fears being exposed. As long as Si Yingying is afraid, that's enough.

The music was too loud, and Si Yuan was speaking in a low voice, so the nurse had no idea there were two people in the restroom.

"Miss Si, the sweet potatoes have arrived."

The nurse's voice drifted into the bathroom, and Si Yuan gestured with her chin toward Si Yingying.

Si Yingying gritted her teeth, thinking about what would happen if Si Yuan handed the surveillance footage over to her mother.

My mother will definitely be angry. It's a small matter if she punishes her, but what if she thinks that she has ruined the reputation of the Si family and sends her back to the countryside?

"Okay, just put it on the table for me."

"OK."

The nurse, worried that Si Yingying would ask her to buy more if it got cold, kindly reminded her, "Then remember to eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"……knew."

After the nurse left, Si Yingying looked at Si Yuan warily, "What exactly do you want?"

Si Yuan ignored Si Yingying, who was soaked to the bone, and washed and dried herself off.

"If you want to compete with Mingche, I can give you a fair chance to compete with me."

Si Yingying was stunned. "You...are you serious?"

"The Si family and the Xiang family have discussed that I will marry Mingche as soon as I graduate. There are still six months left before I graduate. If you can make Xiang Mingche fall in love with you within six months, I will withdraw automatically."

Si Yingying still didn't believe it, "Don't you love Brother Mingche? Why...?"

Si Yuan smiled at Si Yingying, "Because I believe Ming Che loves me too. Giving you a chance is just to make you give up."

Si Yingying felt humiliated, and in a fit of anger, she boasted, "Really? But during the days I was hospitalized, Brother Mingche came to keep me company every night..."

Si Yingying smiled smugly, "We hug and kiss, and he holds me at night and tells me fairy tales to lull me to sleep."

fairy tales……

Oh--

Is this the only tactic Xiang Mingche uses to woo someone?

Si Yuan used to have trouble falling asleep. After Xiang Mingche found out, he called her every night to tell her fairy tales.

Strangely enough, Si Yuan disliked fairy tales, but she enjoyed them when Xiang Mingche told them to her.

Xiang Mingche would only hang up the phone after she fell asleep each time.

At the time, Xiang Mingche said, "A Yuan, I am your personal sleep lullaby. I am willing to tell you fairy tales to lull you to sleep for the rest of my life."

Personal sleep therapist, how ironic.
