“Feeling better?” Chi Ming walked up to her and asked softly.

Shen Qingyue nodded, though her lips were still a bit pale. “Did you bring me to the hospital?”

“Yeah.” Chi Ming tucked in her blankets and asked, “Do you want something to eat?”

Shen Qingyue felt a slight hunger pang. “I’d like some porridge.”

Chi Ming made a phone call to arrange for it, then looked at Shen Qingyue. “The doctor said your fainting was due to anemia. Have you been eating your meals regularly?” 𝚋𝚎ｄ𝚗ｏｖ𝚎𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

Shen Qingyue did not hide the truth. “It’s probably not about meals. Qin Zhen had a car accident and needed a blood transfusion. I donated blood for him and didn’t eat much at the time.”

Chi Ming’s tone could not stay calm any longer. “You again…”

“What?” Shen Qingyue looked up at him.

Chi Ming took a deep breath. “Never mind.”

The two of them remained silent for a while, and it was only when Zhang Jianci

brought the takeout that they began to talk.

Seeing that the porridge was placed by the bedside and Shen Qingyue was on a drip, she could not reach it herself. She wanted to ask Chi Ming to pass it to her, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard Chi Ming’s dry voice, “You can eat it yourself.”

Shen Qingyue said, “…I just wanted you to help me hand it over. I can’t reach it. ”

Only then did Chi Ming turn around, silently placing the porridge in front of her. After doing so, he sat down on the sofa beside the bed.

Shen Qingyue picked up the spoon with her left hand and was about to eat when she heard the person on the sofa remind her, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

She followed the voice and looked up, seeing that Chi Ming had picked up his laptop again. There was no expression on his face, making it difficult for her to discern his emotions. So, was he angry or not? Probably not, right? After all, why would he be mad? She hadn’t done anything wrong. Besides, he had always been a very gentle person.

She ate the porridge slowly, and the drip was almost finished. She looked at her phone and finally called Wei Jiuer. She wanted to know if Qin Zhen had survived. If he had died, wouldn’t that be a waste of so much of her blood?

When the call connected, Shen Qingyue asked directly, “Is Qin Zhen out of danger?”

Hearing her words, Chi Ming’s fingers froze over the keyboard, and he glanced over.

“He’s out of danger,” Wei Jiu’er replied, moving away from Madam Qin’s line of sight and speaking unkindly. “You care about him so much, could it be that you can’t forget your old feelings?”

“You’re thinking too much.” Shen Qingyue’s voice also turned cold. “I just don’t want my blood to go to waste. If it had been anyone else today, I would have done the same thing.”

“Well, I guess you’re not trying to repay a debt of gratitude, are you?” Wei Jiu’er asked, feeling a bit uneasy.

“What does Qin Zhen have that I would be interested in? It’s only you who treasures him. If it weren’t for a life hanging in the balance, I wouldn’t bother,” Shen Qingyue replied, her tone dismissive.

Satisfied with this answer, Wei Jiu’er relaxed. She knew Shen Qingyue’s pride well, and some matters were best left unmentioned. Otherwise, the events of six years ago might come to light. As long as Shen Qingyue remained silent, Qin Zhen would never find out.

Unaware of Wei Jiu’er’s thoughts, Shen Qingyue hung up the phone. Her condition had improved considerably, and she was preparing to get up.

However, as soon as she raised her head, she noticed Chi Ming staring at her. “Is there something on my face?” she asked.

Chi Ming averted his gaze. “No.”

“In that case, I’ll be on my way…” Shen Qingyue thought about how to refuse Chi Ming’s offer to escort her home. If he insisted, she might just accept. After all, she was quite familiar with him. But what surprised her was that Chi Ming simply nodded.

This time, Shen Qingyue was certain that Chi Ming was acting strangely today. He had never been this distant with her before. Yet, as she realized what she was thinking, she froze. She quickly pushed the inappropriate emotions away. She did not want Chi Ming to be so good to her, and she could not respond to it either. She was genuinely afraid of emotions.

Now that Chi Ming was being distant, wasn’t that what she wanted? Shen Qingyue tried her best to ignore the strange feelings within her, got up, and bid her farewell.

Zhang Jianci had been waiting at the door all this time. When he saw Shen Qingyue coming out alone, he greeted her. Then, seeing that his boss hadn’t come out, he peeked inside the room. “What’s going on? Miss Shen is leaving, and you’re not seeing her off?”

“She wants to leave on her own,” Chi Ming replied casually as he packed his laptop into his bag.

Zhang Jianci was taken aback.. “In the past, when she wanted to leave on her own, you’d practically beg to escort her home, wouldn’t you?”
