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

Director Hu, holding the medical record book, couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the young couple chatting and laughing.

"Hello, Uncle Hu."

Su Qinghe immediately sat up straight and greeted them sweetly.

Director Hu walked to the bedside, first briefly checked Su Qinghe's abdominal wound, and then looked at the recovery of her eyes.

"The recovery is going very well. It's great to be young; you have a good foundation."

Director Hu recorded the examination results in the patient's medical record and nodded in satisfaction. "Observe for another two days. If the eyes can see things clearly and there are no other major problems, the patient can be discharged."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe immediately smiled happily, "Really? That's wonderful!"

She was really fed up with the smell of disinfectant everywhere in the hospital.

Moreover, this hospital bed is not as comfortable as my bed at home.

Most importantly, she also had to consider Uncle Liu and the doctors and nurses here, so she didn't even have a chance to have a sweet interaction with Jiang Che...

Once home, it's just the two of us.

Make it as sticky as you want.

"Thank you, Uncle Hu!"

Thinking of this, Su Qinghe's mood improved significantly, and her eyes crinkled into a wider smile.

"No need to thank me, thank your boyfriend instead."

Director Hu glanced at Jiang Che beside him and sincerely praised him, "This kid is always busy. There aren't many outstanding young people like him these days. We must seize the opportunity."

Su Qinghe immediately understood the meaning behind Director Hu's words, and her cheeks flushed slightly. "Um... I, I will try my best..."

Jiang Che readily accepted Director Hu's praise, then looked at the shy girl beside him and teased with a smile, "I also feel like I've worked quite hard. When I'm discharged, shouldn't someone give me some reward?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly at Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe's face turned even redder. She glanced away in a fluster and muttered softly, "What kind of reward do you want...?"

"Let me think about it—"

Jiang Che deliberately pretended to be deep in thought. After a moment, he suddenly leaned close to Su Qinghe's cheek and whispered in her ear:

"I'll pay you back now, and settle the accounts after the college entrance exam."

After the college entrance examination...

Jiang Che had promised her that they would officially become a couple after the college entrance examination.

So what he meant was...

Realizing what was happening, Su Qinghe was instantly overwhelmed with shame, her face turning completely pink from her ears to the base of her neck.

rogue……

How could you say that in front of Director Hu...?

Director Hu, being an experienced man himself, couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he watched the two young people exchanging glances.

"Alright, alright, you two lovebirds can be all lovey-dovey all you want. I'm not going to be a third wheel."

After saying that, Director Hu waved his hand and quickly left the ward with the nurse.

……

It got completely dark very quickly.

After Uncle Liu brought over dinner, Jiang Che told him to go back and rest, and that he could look after things here himself.

After having dinner together, Jiang Che chatted with Su Qinghe for a while longer.

Su Qinghe did most of the talking, while Jiang Che listened.

She talked about her childhood, about a puppy she used to have, and about her dreams.

Jiang Che didn't find it annoying at all, occasionally chiming in with a few words that made her giggle.

Before we knew it, it was past ten o'clock.

"Alright, it's getting late."

Jiang Che glanced at his phone, stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's go to sleep. I have to go back too."

Upon hearing that Jiang Che was leaving, Su Qinghe's smile vanished instantly.

"Oh... you're leaving so soon?"

She reached out and tugged at Jiang Che's sleeve, looking up at him with eyes full of reluctance. "Can't we stay a little longer?"

"Who was it that refused to let me stay here and keep you company in the first place? Now that it's time to leave, you're starting to feel reluctant?" Jiang Che pinched her little cheek.

Su Qinghe didn't speak, but her aggrieved feelings were written all over her face, making her look pitiful.

Jiang Che's heart softened. "Alright, go to sleep early. After you're discharged from the hospital in a couple of days, we can see each other every day. I'll stay with you as long as I want then."

Su Qinghe nodded obediently, knowing that Jiang Che had been exhausted these past two days.

Because of her situation, I've been running between the police station and the hospital; I definitely haven't had a good rest.

Although she was somewhat tempted to change her mind and ask him to stay, she was more concerned about his health.

Even after letting go, Su Qinghe's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Che, refusing to look away.

"Ah Che, can you lull me to sleep?"

"How do I coax him?"

Jiang Che sat back down on the edge of the bed. "Shall I sing you a lullaby?"

"No way, I'm not a three-year-old." Su Qinghe shook her head and retorted.

"So what do you want?"

Su Qinghe didn't speak. She shrank further into the blankets, only showing her big eyes as she looked at him.

Then he reached out a hand and gently patted his head.

The intention is obvious.

Pat on the head~

After Jiang Che realized what was happening, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"OK."

He walked over and reached out, his broad palm covering the top of her soft hair, stroking it gently and casually.

"Groom the little pig and let him sleep."

Su Xiaozhu Qinghe closed her eyes contentedly, feeling the warmth coming from above her head, and her heart gradually became peaceful and calm.

As long as he is by my side, all my fears and anxieties will vanish.

After a day of ups and downs, Su Qinghe was really exhausted.

Not only were things going up and down, but my emotions were also going up and down, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

Once I completely relaxed, sleepiness instantly washed over me.

Within minutes, Su Qinghe's breathing became steady and long.

Jiang Che did not stop immediately.

He touched her for a while longer, making sure she was really asleep, before carefully withdrawing his hand.

I tucked the blanket around her and turned off the bedside lamp.

After doing all this, Jiang Che quietly grabbed his coat, turned around, and walked out of the ward.

……

It was a bit chilly outside when I came out of the hospital.

Jiang Che tightened his coat, took a deep breath of the cool night air, and his mind cleared up considerably.

I've definitely overdrawn my energy these past few days.

Fortunately, everything was resolved, and the ending was relatively satisfactory.

As long as Su Qinghe is alright, this little bit of fatigue is nothing.

He hailed a taxi on the roadside and gave them the address of his residential compound.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

Jiang Che paid the fare and got out of the car, then slowly walked inside.

It was already late at night, and the neighborhood was quiet. The streetlights cast long shadows of the trees.

Jiang Che walked towards his apartment building with his hands in his pockets, thinking about what to pack for Su Qinghe for lunch tomorrow.

As he approached the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly stopped.

There was a person standing under the streetlight ahead.

A man.
