You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"If I wanted to eat you, would you still be standing here talking to me?"

Jiang Che was speechless after Bai Yuning's sarcastic remarks. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and lost all interest in arguing with her anymore.

He reached out and shoved Bai Yuning aside, his gesture full of disgust, as if Bai Yuning were some kind of obstacle in his way.

"Move aside, move aside, don't block the way. I'm taking her inside to see Director Hu."

After saying this to Bai Yuning, Jiang Shuangbiao Che turned to look at Su Qinghe, and the impatience he had shown towards Bai Yuning just now vanished without a trace.

"Let's go, Director Hu is waiting inside."

Jiang Che naturally took Su Qinghe's wrist and led her to the room at the end of the corridor.

Su Qinghe followed obediently behind him, her head bowed low, her face as red as a ripe apple.

Protective parent...

Was Jiang Che protecting her just now?

Although she knew that this might just be Jiang Che protecting her out of a sense of friendship, Su Qinghe still felt sweet inside, as if she had drunk a whole jar of honey.

Bai Yuning stood there, watching the two figures leave, and clicked her tongue twice.

"So you're complaining that I'm in your way? You've really forgotten your sister now that you have a wife."

She shook her head, knowing that Jiang Che was just teasing her, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she had a silly, doting smile on her face and slowly followed after him.

She wouldn't miss a good show.

……

Director Hu's consultation room is at the very end of the corridor.

When Bai Yuning first told Director Hu that she wanted to go through the back door, there were still quite a few patients. But half an hour later, it was lunchtime, and all the patients who had registered in the morning had been seen.

Jiang Che was unaware of this, so he knocked twice on the door before entering, and a strong voice came from inside saying "Come in."

Pushing open the door, I saw an elderly man with gray hair and reading glasses sitting behind his desk reading a newspaper.

Seeing Jiang Che enter, Director Hu put down his newspaper and greeted him cheerfully, "Long time no see, Xiao Che! Is this the patient your sister was talking about?"

"Hello, Grandpa Hu."

Director Hu is the senior of Bai Yuning's graduate advisor and has a good relationship with Bai Yuning. Jiang Che had met him many times when he visited Bai Yuning at the hospital before, so the two are quite familiar with each other.

He greeted Director Hu with a smile, then pulled Su Qinghe to sit down on the chair in front of him. "Yes, that's her. Could you please take a look?"

Director Hu adjusted his glasses and looked Su Qinghe up and down.

"Little girl, don't be nervous, hold out your hand so I can see it."

Su Qinghe was a little confused. Why did she have to reach out to look at her eyes?

But she still obediently reached out her hand.

Director Hu glanced briefly at the color of her fingernails and palms before getting to the point.

"How long have you been blind?"

Su Qinghe answered truthfully, "It's been over a month."

"Can't you see anything at all? Or can you sense the light?"

"I can sense a tiny bit of light, but it's very blurry... it's practically the same as not being able to see anything."

Director Hu nodded, picked up the flashlight on the table, and said, "Raise your head and open your eyes wide."

Su Qinghe did as instructed.

A beam of bright light shone directly into Su Qinghe's eyes, but Su Qinghe felt nothing. She kept her empty eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Director Hu shone the flashlight on his left eye for a while, then on his right, his brows furrowing and relaxing intermittently, making Jiang Che feel uneasy.

"Grandpa Hu, how's it going?"

Jiang Che couldn't help but ask, "Can her eyes be cured?"

Director Hu turned off the flashlight, sighed, and then turned around to type on the computer.

"Don't worry, the girl's situation is a bit complicated."

He asked a few more questions about the time of the injury, such as what hit him, where he was hit, and whether he vomited or lost consciousness afterwards.

Every time Su Qinghe answered a question, her body would involuntarily tremble.

Those memories were too painful for her; each recollection was like a scabbed wound being forcibly ripped open, leaving her bleeding profusely.

Jiang Che noticed her fear and immediately placed his hand gently on her shoulder.

Although it was just a small, insignificant movement, Su Qinghe felt as if a small boat adrift at sea had suddenly found its anchor, and the fear in her heart slowly dissipated.

After asking the questions, Director Hu took out several examination forms from the drawer and handed them to Jiang Che.

"Let's take her to get these tests done first: fundus photography, OCT, and a head CT scan."

"I've already spoken to them over there, so I can just go straight there without having to queue."

Jiang Che took the form, thanked him, and left the consultation room with Su Qinghe.

Bai Yuning leaned against the doorway, watching the two of them walk out like conjoined twins, and couldn't help but tease, "So fast? I thought we'd be all lovey-dovey for a while longer."

Jiang Che ignored her and went to get checked out.

It has to be said, this is the benefit of having connections.

Normally, the waiting lists for these tests would be incredibly long, but Jiang Che and Su Qinghe had a smooth ride, and they finished everything in less than half an hour.

However, since it would take a while for the results to come out, Jiang Che had Su Qinghe sit on the bench outside the examination room and wait while he went to buy water from the vending machine.

Su Qinghe sat there alone, surrounded by the noise of people and footsteps.

Although she was holding the new phone Jiang Che had just bought for her, a sense of unease that arose from the bottom of her heart still clung to her like vines.

She couldn't see, didn't know where Jiang Che had gone, or whether he would ever come back.

Just as she was about to call his name, something warm suddenly touched her cheek.

"what!"

Su Qinghe was startled and shrank back to the side.

"So timid?"

Jiang Che's cheerful voice rang out above her head, "I bought you some hot milk, hold it to warm your hands."

Su Qinghe then realized what was happening, reached out and took the can of hot milk, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks……"

"Why are you thanking me again?"

Jiang Che sat down next to her, opened a can of cola and took a sip. "Didn't I tell you? There's no need to be so polite between friends."

Holding the warm milk in her hands, Su Qinghe whispered, "But... you're so good to me, I don't know how to repay you..."

Jiang Che felt a little helpless looking at her cautious appearance.

This girl is so starved for love. If someone is even slightly nice to her, she'll want to give them her whole heart.

"You want to repay me?"

Jiang Che leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said lazily, "Then take good care of your health, heal your eyes, study hard, get into a good university, and repay me when you make a lot of money in the future."
