"Le Baiqing had already been arrested by the police at the beginning, on the day of your exam. Lao Jiang handled this matter and reported it to the police," Rong Jingshuo said.

"I never expected my sister to be this kind of person. Why is that?" Wen Zhining felt downcast.

"It must have been Jiang Jihe who broke up with her, and she's taking her anger out on you because you're so close to him," her roommate said angrily. "That person is too much. It would be best if she were locked up in there for life."

"Alright." Wen Yuesheng, having paid the fee, came in and stopped them from continuing their conversation. "Let her rest."

Everyone then shut up and left the ward, no longer wanting to say anything more that might affect Wen Zhining.

"Ningning, I'll go back and cook for you. You rest first. Call me if anything happens, okay?" Wen Yuesheng instructed.

"it is good."

After Wen Yuesheng left, the ward quieted down, and Wen Zhining slowly took out her phone to look at the school forum.

[Holy crap, did you guys know that freshman Wen Zhining got into trouble and ended up in the hospital?]

【Huh? What happened?】

Hey, don't worry, this girl is so pretty, I haven't added her on social media yet!

[I know what happened. Her brother is Wen Yuesheng, and he's quite close to Jiang Jihe. Jiang Jihe's girlfriend is jealous of him, so she specially ordered takeout with food that he's allergic to and hired someone to deliver it. Twice, and last time when he had a crucial exam, she also arranged for someone to deliver it. As a result, there were police nearby, and they arrested the person Le Baiqing hired on the spot.]

[Not only that, she also sent her abusive messages on her social media platform. All she did was get a little close to Jiang Jihe and take a few photos with him, and she accused him of stealing her boyfriend.]

[Since that's the case, I'll say this too: I'm Yue Baiqing's roommate. She said last time that I liked her boyfriend, but told me to give up, saying that Jiang Jihe was her man.]

[She's quite possessive, haha. Has she even considered that Jiang Jihe isn't good enough for her?]

Only the older students knew that back then, Le Baiqing had been relentlessly pursuing Jiang Jihe, constantly bothering him until he finally agreed to be with her because of his kind nature.

Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known, I would have pestered you relentlessly.

【No, no, no, I'm Jiang Jihe's brother. It's one thing for this woman to be persistent and clingy, but she keeps telling Jiang Jihe that she likes expensive brands but can't afford them. It's because Jiang Jihe is rich that he can buy those things as easily as drinking water that I buy them for her.】

[It turns out he was attracted to both looks and money. Not wanting any girl to appear in Jiang Jihe's life, he started to ruthlessly target Wen Zhining. Truly vicious.]

[Last time, a junior girl who didn't know the truth confessed to Jiang Jihe. After Le Baiqing found out, she went to Jiang Jihe's classroom and made sarcastic remarks to Jiang Jihe's friends, causing the junior girl to take several days off and be ashamed to face anyone.]

[My only concern is that Yue Baiqing escaped from there just to deliver takeout to Wen Zhining, causing her to have an allergic reaction. Is she really that strong? According to the novel's plot, she should have grabbed a knife by now.]

[With her intelligence, how could she possibly have thought of this? The worst thing is someone who is both stupid and malicious.]

Wen Zhining was engrossed in reading gossip on the forum when the door to her hospital room was opened.

"Ningning." Jiang Jihe opened the door.

He walked to the chair by the bed and sat down, carrying a bowl of porridge. "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Wen Zhining put away her phone, shook her head, and didn't say anything.

"Ningning, I'm sorry," he whispered.

"It's okay, your sister just cares about you," Wen Zhining said understandingly. "Don't blame her."

"I was too stupid. I thought it was you who ordered the takeout for me. She took advantage of my concern and trust in you to hurt me. I couldn't protect myself."

"But..." Wen Zhining's voice trembled with tears, "in order to avoid my sister misunderstanding, we should have less contact."

"From now on, when I travel alone, I'll order takeout by myself, and I won't hold hands when we go up the stairs..."

Despite her reluctance, she stubbornly tried to break free from him and these habits.

A tear slid down her cheek and was precisely wiped away by Jiang Jihe. It was hot, so hot that it made Jiang Jihe feel a silent bitterness, as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

Looking at the girl with teary eyes, Jiang Jihe couldn't help but sit down on the edge of the bed, hug her, and gently comfort her.

He gently wiped away her tears, his voice low and soothing.

But she still felt very wronged.

"A netizen kept sending me private messages to scold me and tell me to stay away from you. I know it's my older sister, but I don't dare to say anything. When I saw you bringing her to the barbecue, I pretended not to know. I didn't dare to tell you."

"I want to stay away from you, I want you and my sister to be happy, but I also want to get closer to you."

"I...I don't know what to do..." She sobbed uncontrollably, clutching his clothes pitifully.

"I'm sorry, Ningning..." Jiang Jihe's voice was filled with regret. He closed his eyes and recalled the details from before.

No wonder I didn't contact him first, no wonder he seemed aloof.

She wanted to get closer to him, but she was afraid of disturbing him and Le Baiqing, so she was very conflicted and in a dilemma. She didn't dare to tell him when he asked.

If he hadn't offered to accompany her on the trip, she wouldn't have dared to contact him.

Wen Zhining's shoulders trembled slightly as she shook her head in his arms. "I know you're outstanding, brother. It's only natural that I'm worried about you."

"But I'm just so sad, I don't know what to do."

She tilted her head slightly, looking at him with teary eyes.

Jiang Jihe looked down at the girl in his arms and gently wiped away her tears.

As he looked up at her with eyes full of tenderness, she tilted her head back and kissed the corner of his mouth.

He paused, his mind went blank, and his body tensed and stiffened. He couldn't hear anything except his own rapidly beating heart and his erratic breathing.

At this moment, their breaths mingled.

The touch on his lips was fleeting, yet the warm sensation wouldn't fade, blatantly telling him.

Ningning kissed him.

"Ning..." he began with difficulty, "Ningning..."

Wen Zhining had already wrapped her arms around his neck, her hair entwined around his neck and collarbone, clearly showing him the distance between them at that moment.

It was even closer and more nerve-wracking than a kiss using a camera angle.

"Brother, can you comfort me?" Her sad and soft voice rang in his ear.

Her breath touched his ear, and the tips of his ear turned red.

He pursed his lips. Her arms around his neck were very light, and if he wanted to push her away, she could easily distance them.

He looked down at her, watching her lean on him so tenderly, tears welling in her eyes, reflecting his restrained demeanor.

Her Adam's apple bobbed as she wiped away the single tear that had fallen from her eye and lowered her head.

When their lips touched, both of them trembled.

This wasn't a camera trick; they really kissed.
