Nian Ueno

Chapter 17 You haven't spoken to me all day!

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.

Ji Xingzhou, wearing a white T-shirt, walked over unhurriedly with his hands in his pockets.

The umbrellas for the finance department are right next to it.

Ji Xingzhou is the president of their college's student union.

Zhao Sisi's expression changed, but she still forced an innocent look: "I...I really didn't mean to. There were too many people just now, and I don't know who bumped into me..."

Ji Xingzhou walked up to Jiang Weixi and stopped beside her, his gaze towards Zhao Sisi unusually cold: "Who bumped into you?"

Zhao Sisi met his eyes, felt a chill run down her spine, and instinctively looked away. "I didn't see clearly..."

"You said you were pushed because you didn't see clearly? That's quite interesting. You can make something you didn't see clearly sound like the truth."

Zhao Sisi's face turned bright red, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Ji Xingzhou's tone was cold and firm, brooking no refusal: "Apologize."

Zhao Sisi bit her lip, her voice barely audible, and said to Ji Xingzhou, "I'm sorry..."

Ji Xingzhou didn't move: "Who are you apologizing to?"

Zhao Sisi lowered her head, a hint of resentment and frustration flashing in her eyes. She knew that Ji Xingzhou had a powerful background and was not someone she could afford to offend.

So, reluctantly, he turned to Jiang Weixi and said, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Jiang Weixi said "Oh," and then added, "I won't forgive."

Who says an apology always means forgiveness?

Zhao Sisi's face turned even redder with anger.

Zhou Meng's face was also red. She secretly glanced at Ji Xingzhou, her heart pounding fiercely.

Although she cursed Jiang Weixi in the group for being a simp who willingly debases himself, she was actually extremely envious. If she had the chance, she would also like to be Ji Xingzhou's simp.

Ji Xingzhou pulled Jiang Weixi to the umbrella under the Finance Department building, opened the first-aid kit, and took out wet wipes, cotton swabs, iodine, and band-aids.

He gently wiped the wound on her palm with a wet wipe, cleaned away the grit, applied iodine with a cotton swab, and finally put on a band-aid.

Jiang Weixi sat on the stool.

Ji Xingzhou bent down and knelt in front of her, gently treating the abrasions on her knees.

A sliver of sunlight filtering through the canopy shone on his profile, and his focused expression gave Jiang Weixi a strange sense of unease.

It seems like he really does...like her?

The sky was high and the clouds were light, and a gentle breeze brushed against my face.

Jiang Weixi lowered her eyelashes, suddenly recalling her first meeting with Ji Xingzhou.

She had just started university and was taken by Gu Wanyi to a friend's birthday party for the first time.

Those attending the banquet were all young people around twenty years old.

They were dressed brightly, exuding confidence. She, on the other hand, was dressed plainly, reserved, and out of place.

Those people were celebrating with champagne by the pool, but she only dared to stand on the outermost edge and watch silently.

Someone pushed her from behind, and she fell into the pool with a "plop".

Fortunately, the pool water wasn't deep.

But she is afraid of water.

She has a phobia of water ever since she was nearly swallowed by a flood when she was 17.

That day, she was wearing a heavy and cumbersome evening gown, struggling to climb out of the water in a disheveled state.

She sat on the ground, her clothes and hair soaked, and she had choked on water, coughing incessantly.

People on the shore were laughing and joking at her.

Only one boy pushed through the crowd, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders.

He asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

She wanted to stand up and leave this embarrassing place, but her calf cramped up.

He helped her to the lounge.

later……

Jiang Weixi heard his name from someone else.

His name is Ji Xingzhou.

……

"Does it hurt?"

Ji Xingzhou's voice pulled her out of her memories.

Jiang Weixi lowered her eyelids and shook her head: "It's alright, it doesn't hurt much anymore."

"Okay, don't get it wet."

He resumed his indifferent tone, as if her previous gentleness was just her illusion.

"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. You can sit here and rest."

"Um."

Jiang Weixi nodded obediently.

Ji Xingzhou is gone.

Jiang Weixi faintly heard several female finance students whispering under umbrellas, trying to avoid the sun.

"Is that Senior Ji's girlfriend?"

Wow, I'm so envious of her.

"Senior Ji is so good to his girlfriend."

"Senior Ji is so handsome and considerate..."

Jiang Weixi looked down at the crookedly pasted bear-shaped band-aid on her palm, and a complex and indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

Weren't you going to break up?

Why should we occasionally show her a little kindness?

Jiang Weixi stared blankly for a while, then got up and left.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Tang Tang.

[Where are you? Are you coming or not?]

[Tang Tang: I'm waiting for a junior student by the chemistry department's umbrella tent, do you want to come over?]

Jiang Weixi glanced into the distance, showing little interest.

[But I just tripped and fell, my leg hurts a bit, I'm going back now.]

[Tang Tang: Okay, then you can go back to your dorm first.]

Jiang Weixi went back.

Tang Tangwan returned an hour later and started screaming excitedly as soon as she opened the door.

"Ahhh... I'm telling you, that junior really looks like Xiao Song! I've never seen an ordinary person who looks so much like Xiao Song before..."

Tang Tang swooned: "I think I've found a replacement for Song Yuchen. I really want to date him."

Suti pulled back the bed curtains and peeked out: "How similar is he? Did you take a picture of him?"

"I took a lot of pictures of him secretly, I'll post them in the group chat for you guys to see."

Tang Tang couldn't hide her excitement. She had been squatting on the playground for over an hour just to take a picture of him.

Cheng Anuo commented, "They really do look alike. Could this be Song Yuchen's biological brother?"

"Impossible, Song Yuchen is an only child, he has no brothers."

Tang Tang is a long-time fan of Song Yuchen, and all of Song Yuchen's information has already been thoroughly investigated.

Tang Tang posted more than twenty photos of boys in the dormitory group chat.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to pursue him!"

Jiang Weixi opened the dormitory group chat.

She was stunned when she saw the boy's photo.

After hesitating for a moment, she said nothing.

The night was deep.

Jiang Weixi went for a one-hour run on the track and then went back to her dorm to sleep.

It's been a whole day, and Mr. Liu Liu still hasn't replied.

The message was still at the point where she greeted everyone with a good morning.

Jiang Weixi lay on the bed, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

My phone vibrated.

[Dr. Chen: This batch of capsules has a limited shipment volume. If you have the money, it's best to buy a few more this time to keep on hand. The next batch may not be available for another six months, and stopping the medication midway will affect its effectiveness.]

[Reeds and Rushes: Okay, Dr. Chen, I understand.]

Jiang Weixi opened her bank card and checked the balance: 48326.6 yuan.

Two capsules are needed per month, and twelve capsules are needed every six months. Each capsule costs eight thousand yuan, so twelve capsules would cost ninety-six thousand yuan.

She only has 48,000 yuan, which is enough to buy 6.

Jiang Weixi had inquired around and found that Dr. Chen was not lying; this batch of medicine was indeed difficult to produce because it required time to cultivate the medicinal materials.

If you buy six pills, you can take one a month.

She thought for a moment and replied to Dr. Chen.

[Reeds and Rushes: Dr. Chen, I'll take six first.]

[Transfer of 48000 yuan]

[Dr. Chen: Okay, I'll apply for six pills for you.]

[Reeds and Rushes: Dr. Chen, when are you coming back to China?]

[Dr. Chen: Probably the month after next, I'll contact you then.]

[蒹葭苍苍: Okay.]

Jiang Weixi glanced at the alternate account one last time before going to sleep.

[Gentle Little Bunny: Brother, you haven't spoken to me all day!~]

[Gentle Little Bunny: (crying)]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Goodnight, brother.]
