I really like your sand sculpture group friends

Catching fish strips.

I got back late, overslept, and after sitting up for a while, my mind was a mess; I really couldn't come up with anything. I think I'll just go back to sleep... Anyway, touching things today is better than touching things on Qixi Festival, right?

If you want to update, try to do so as soon as you get up.

Chapter 168 Go to Sleep Well

Su Mengli looked at him strangely, wondering what he was up to, what he was discussing, and why he was trying to avoid Mengyao.

“I think she’s probably asleep.” Su Mengli raised her delicate chin, pretending to think. “I woke her up to take a shower, and she went straight to sleep after she finished showering.”

"So what do you want to talk about?" Su Mengli frowned slightly. "Why are you being so mysterious?"

"It's nothing." Mo Xiangwen gave a faint smile.

If Noah were sitting across from him, seeing his smile and tone of voice, she would immediately realize that this wicked guy was trying to trick someone again.

"How is your foot injury healing?" Mo Xiangwen glanced at her foot, then stared into her eyes and said softly, "It's been two or three days, is it any better?"

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a sprain or bone. While a mild ligament sprain may not take that long, it still won't heal in just a day or two.

However, some people might not understand this principle, right?

Su Mengli was slightly taken aback, then shook her head with a laugh and said, "You're suddenly acting all crazy. I thought you were going to tell me something, but it turns out it's this."

She lowered her head and tried to move her ankle, frowning almost imperceptibly, then raised her face and smiled, "It feels almost better. It should be back to normal in another two days."

"Is that so?" Mo Xiangwen nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes." Su Mengli gave a somewhat helpless smile and said softly, "I don't think you need to worry about me so much. Mengyao and Nuoya often ask me about it too."

Noah? Mo Xiangwen was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear Noah's name here.

It's not that Noah doesn't care about his friends, but from what he knows, Noah's concern has never been very obvious.

If even Noah asked directly... then Noah's meaning was probably a reminder, a reminder to Su Mengli that she should be more careful.

Mo Xiangwen gave her a deep look. He had originally wanted to trick Su Mengli into confirming other things, but he didn't expect to hear Nuoya's name.

This way, it can be confirmed directly, saving him the trouble of trying to get information out of Su Mengli herself.

Thank you, dear Yan Nuoya.

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Su Mengli asked, somewhat fidgeting, "What's wrong?"

"Tomorrow's the weekend," Mo Xiangwen said softly. "How about you leave Mengyao a message tomorrow, and I'll go to the hospital with you?"

Su Mengli was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to say that.

“I’ve already told you you’re overthinking it.” She shook her head and refused, “If needed, I’ll go myself.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you’ll go to the hospital,” Mo Xiangwen said, “but it wouldn’t be convenient for you to go to the hospital alone in your current condition.”

Su Mengli was stunned when her thoughts were guessed. She couldn't figure out how she had been seen through and fell silent.

Mo Xiangwen wasn't in a hurry and let her think it over slowly.

Just then, the two seemed to hear the faint sound of the door opening. They subconsciously looked behind them and saw Su Mengyao, who was also wearing bunny pajamas, rubbing her eyes and swaying as she walked into the living room.

"...Hmm?" Su Mengyao glanced at the two people in the living room in a daze, wondering why they were sitting on the sofa in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.

"You guys..." Su Mengyao blinked, "Don't you need to sleep?"

Mo Xiangwen opened his mouth, about to say something, when suddenly he thought of a solution.

“Mengli said she’s going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I offered to go with her, but she wasn’t willing.” Mo Xiangwen sighed, “I’m trying to figure out how to persuade her.”

Su Mengyao glanced suspiciously at the two people with strange expressions. She felt that something was wrong, but her sister was indeed like that.

"...Why did you go out to buy groceries when your foot is injured?" Su Mengyao frowned. "Why not just order takeout?"

“Yes, I also want to know why.” Mo Xiangwen nodded repeatedly, indicating that he fully agreed with Su Mengyao’s words.

Su Mengli looked at him silently, finally understanding why her sister kept saying how wicked this person was.

The problem is, even if Mo Xiangwen didn't say anything, she did intend to go to the hospital by herself tomorrow, but she hadn't thought of a reason yet.

Now the reason has come knocking on my door, but I'm not going there alone.

If she doesn't agree, wouldn't Xiang Wen be more straightforward and directly express his suspicions about her injuries?

“...I understand.” Su Mengli rolled her eyes at him helplessly. “Could you please come to the supermarket with me tomorrow, Mo?”

“That’s right.” Mo Xiangwen smiled and winked at her. “I’m happy to serve Su.”

"No, wait a minute." Su Mengyao interrupted them, asking in confusion, "But why do we have to go grocery shopping? It's not like we can't eat takeout."

Su Mengli glanced at him but didn't say anything.

It means that since you came up with the reason, you should take responsibility and persuade Su Mengyao.

Mo Xiangwen looked embarrassed. He had just said it on a whim, but he didn't expect Su Mengyao to press for details.

Su Mengyao looked suspiciously at the two people with strange expressions, who both fell silent. She felt more and more that the two of them were hiding something from her.

Mo Xiangwen thought to himself that he was in trouble. He only wanted to accompany Su Mengli to check on her injuries, but he didn't expect to expose what she was trying to hide.

"Well, although it's not necessary, I mentioned to Mengli earlier that we could buy a cane." He quickly started making up a story: "It could help reduce the stress on her ankle and help it heal faster."

"Then she said she would take a look when she went out to buy groceries tomorrow."

"I figured her feet were still a bit sore, and it wouldn't be convenient for her to go out alone to get so many things, so I told her I'd go with her."

Su Mengyao frowned and thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed some truth to it.

"I'll just be your older sister's crutch," Su Mengyao said. "Why go to all that trouble?"

Su Mengli chimed in, "I can't very well wake you up while you're sleeping at night, can I? We don't need the money to buy a cane. Besides, I've already promised Xiang Wen I'd go with you, so there shouldn't be any problems with him around."

Su Mengyao thought about it carefully several more times and it seemed that there was no problem. So she reminded her, "If you are going out, you must call me or Xiang Wen."

“Yes, Mengli, you must invite me or Mengyao.” Mo Xiangwen echoed.

Su Mengli nodded helplessly: "You should get some sleep. I'll call Xiang Wen."

P.S.: One more chapter will be a little later.

Chapter 169 Am I not a good person?

The next day, to avoid being caught by Su Mengyao, Mo Xiangwen and Su Mengli went to the hospital early in the morning.

Because Su Mengli had made an appointment in advance, she was able to watch it very quickly.

The two had already walked out of the hospital less than three hours after it opened.

"Miss Mengli."

As soon as he got into the car, Mo Xiangwen let out a heavy sigh.

"Do you have any objections to what you told the doctor: to avoid further injury, you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks and rest as much as possible?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Mengli pursed her lips and said softly, "I didn't plan on doing any strenuous exercise. I haven't gone for a morning run lately."

"And the second half?" Mo Xiangwen glanced at her and asked casually, "Rest as much as possible, did you hear that?"

“…I heard you.” Su Mengli nodded somewhat reluctantly.

Mo Xiangwen smiled with satisfaction, started the engine, and prepared to drive back.

Of course, the doctor also mentioned the importance of taking the medication on time, but given Su Mengli's personality, she naturally didn't need him to remind her.

He only reminded her of this to tease Su Mengli.

"Oh right, let's go to the supermarket and pharmacy." Su Mengli watched the scenery flash by on the street, afraid that they would be back in the apartment in the next moment, and quickly reminded her, "Let's also buy some groceries, otherwise Mengyao will get suspicious."

Mo Xiangwen obediently changed direction and started driving towards the shopping mall.

If the supermarket doesn't have a cane, you might have to go to a larger pharmacy to look for one.

Who knew that using crutches to avoid stress and movement, which was originally just a casual excuse he made up, would now become a doctor's order?

As he drove, he casually asked, "By the way, Mengli, I have two questions I'd like to ask. You don't have to answer them if you don't want to."

"What's the problem?" Su Mengli asked softly, looking out the window.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about it. Although I haven’t been with you the whole time these past two days,” Mo Xiangwen said, “your activities have been limited to the house, and you also went camping for a day.”

"Although there was a lot of walking, it wasn't strenuous exercise, so it shouldn't have gotten to the point where the injury worsened."

“I wasn’t in the school clinic when you looked at your foot injury. But I think if the school doctor had given the same instructions as a hospital doctor, Mengyao’s reaction would have been more obvious.”

"I don't know if the school doctor is incompetent or if Miss Mengli didn't tell me the truth."

Actually, he wouldn't have made such a deduction if he hadn't secretly gone out for barbecue with Su Mengyao.

But Su Mengyao said that night that she couldn't bring herself to dislike her sister, which clearly shows that the two have a very good relationship.

Su Mengyao's reaction clearly indicated that she thought Su Mengli would be better in a couple of days.

Su Mengli was too embarrassed to shift the blame to the school doctor, and muttered, "It's my fault for not explaining the situation clearly to the school doctor; it has nothing to do with the school doctor."

“I think so too.” Mo Xiangwen nodded knowingly.

Su Mengli was speechless for a moment after hearing his words, and was immediately annoyed.

"Then why did you hide it from the school doctor?" Mo Xiangwen asked, oblivious to the danger. "Is it because of Mengyao?"

"...Xiang Wen, you asked quite directly today."

"Yeah, you told me not to be so formal."

Is this the same thing? Su Mengli was speechless.

"Of course it's because I'm the older sister." Su Mengli shook her head and said softly, "I'm the older sister, how can I let my younger sister rely on me?"

However, this does show that he is trying to live up to his desire to "not be so distant".

"Well, and it seems like my uncle and aunt don't know either." Mo Xiangwen smiled and added insult to injury.

“...That's enough, you know.” Su Mengli gave him a helpless look.

Speaking of which, Yan Nuoya had asked her about her foot injury a couple of days ago, but she had just smiled and dodged the question.

"Did Noah tell you?" Su Mengli asked curiously. "I shouldn't have given myself away in front of Noah, right?"

"Hmm?" Mo Xiangwen looked at her in surprise and shook his head: "You have to trust Nuoya. She won't do such a thing unless it's absolutely necessary."

As for the matter of being exposed, well, Noah has been observing and understanding them all along, so he'd better not say anything.

“You’re right.” Su Mengli nodded. “Indeed, I should trust Nuoya more. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I can just doubt you.”

"Am I not a good person?"

"Hmm? Even Shishi says you're a bad person."

"..."

Oh no, it seems there really is such a thing.

During the conversation, the vehicle had already driven into the shopping mall's parking lot.

Mo Xiangwen parked the car in a temporary parking space and tossed the car keys to Su Mengli.

Su Mengli stared at the car keys, slightly taken aback.

"Okay, now the bad guys are going to lock you in the car." Mo Xiangwen smiled. "Since you're a patient, just wait in the car. I'll be right back."

"Wait, I want to go too."

"Didn't the doctor just say you need to rest well?"

Su Mengli pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and insisted, "Since I'm the one cooking, of course I have to choose the ingredients myself. Although you can cook, you don't know how to judge the quality of the ingredients."

She paused for a moment, then added, "And if I can find a cane, I'll have to try it out to see if it's comfortable for me."

Well, he's always been reasonable.

He genuinely didn't know how to judge the freshness and quality of meat and vegetables, and had never even touched a cane before.

Mo Xiangwen thought for a moment, then stretched out his arm in front of Su Mengli.

Su Mengli understood what he meant, so she looked up at him and shook her head: "I can walk by myself."
