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

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Su Qinghe would have such a way of thinking.

After realizing what he had said, he couldn't help but chuckle and poked Su Qinghe's head: "At such a young age, you're already thinking about all this love and romance."

Su Qinghe pouted, unconvinced: "Who's little? I'm an adult! I'm almost 19, okay!"

"Well, you're a high school student too. Since you're a student, you should obediently put away these unhealthy thoughts, understand?"

After reprimanding Su Qinghe, Jiang Che paused for a moment, then changed his approach and asked, "Judging from your expression, do you really want a gift?"

"It's alright, I don't really want it."

Su Qinghe turned her head away haughtily, pretending to be completely indifferent, but in reality, she was dying to see it.

She would like anything Jiang Che gave her, even if it was just a stone.

Jiang Che naturally noticed the girl's arrogant demeanor. He didn't even need to think much to know that she was definitely saying one thing and meaning another.

So he deliberately drew out his "Oh," and said, "Oh, I see. Then who should I give this gift to?"

As he spoke, he pulled a long velvet box from another pocket and opened it with a "click".

Su Qinghe heard the sound of the box opening and finally couldn't help but turn her head back, very curious about what was inside.

Jiang Che glanced at the little head that was quietly peeking over, smiled slightly, then stood up and leaned closer to her fair and slender neck.

The boy's cool, refreshing aura instantly enveloped her, and Su Qinghe subconsciously held her breath, not daring to move an inch.

Immediately afterwards, a cool and delicate touch came from my neck.

Jiang Che's slender fingers threaded through the hair at the back of her neck and deftly fastened the clasp.

"This is a necklace made from a very high-quality saltwater pearl. I secretly bought it when I took you to the mall last time."

As Jiang Che helped Su Qinghe fasten the necklace, he slowly explained the origin of the gift.

Su Qinghe was a little confused upon hearing this. Was it something she bought when she went to the mall last time? But she didn't remember it at all...

But she quickly remembered that Jiang Che had made an excuse to go to the restroom during their shopping trip. Could it be that he bought it at that time?

So, he already had feelings for her back then... otherwise, why would he have thought of preparing a gift for her?

Su Qinghe was overwhelmed with thoughts. She raised her hand and gently touched the round pearl on her neck, reluctant to let go for a long time.

The smooth, warm feel and substantial weight of this pearl speak to its superior quality and high value.

Su Qinghe bit her lip with some concern. "Should we take it off first? I'm wearing a hospital gown right now, and it doesn't match the necklace at all. It'll look really bad."

Jiang Che shook his head and said, "You look good in anything, and what's ugly about you? You're beautiful every day."

After saying that, he sat back down in his chair, admiring his masterpiece, becoming more and more satisfied with it.

When he bought this necklace at the mall, he originally planned to use it when he confessed his feelings to Su Qinghe.

However, he didn't have the necklace with him on the day he confessed his feelings, so he thought he would find an opportunity to give it to her later.

Today is the first day that Su Qinghe has regained her sight, so it's a perfect day to celebrate as a "restored sight gift".

When Su Qinghe heard Jiang Che praise her, she unconsciously tightened her grip on the necklace, and her lips naturally curved into a beautiful smile, revealing two shallow dimples.

"It's because your love nourishes me that I have the right to continue being beautiful," she teased boldly.

After speaking, the girl leaned forward slightly, her face facing Jiang Che's direction.

"Jiang Che, tell me secretly, do you like me a lot?"

Jiang Che looked at the pretty face so close to his face, his heart suddenly raced, and his breathing became erratic.

The two stood facing each other for a few seconds, then the boy looked away and deliberately said stubbornly, "Um... I don't think so."

He leaned back a little, creating some distance between himself and the crowd. "Even if I really do like someone, well... I like a lot of other people too. My dad, my mom, my sister, all the comrades who are fighting for the great communist society, I like them all."

Jiang Che has a very obvious characteristic when he lies: he talks nonsense with a straight face.

But Su Qinghe was obviously unaware of this characteristic; all she could think about at that moment was "He doesn't like me."

She pouted sadly, stopped touching the necklace, and curled up into a small ball under the covers.

"You turned your back on me right after giving me a gift." A muffled voice came from under the covers.

Jiang Che is a scoundrel, a heartless bastard, he deserves a beating!

"What do you mean I'm turning my back on you?"

Jiang Che found it extremely amusing to see her looking like such a wronged person.

He reached out, pinched her cheek with two fingers, and gently pulled it outwards. "Trying to turn your back on me, huh?"

"They turn on you like this, they suddenly recognize you as someone else."

As he spoke, he controlled her face to turn left and right.

Su Qinghe was forced to shake her head, and her lips were pinched into a pout.

"Waaah... Stop pinching me! My face is getting so big!"

Su Qinghe turned her head away, breaking free from Jiang Che's clutches. She reached out and rubbed her cheeks, which had been pinched red, and huffed angrily.

Like an angry little hamster, its chubby cheeks are very cute.

Jiang Che was almost overwhelmed by Su Qinghe's cuteness, and he couldn't resist leaning over to ruffle her hair.

Then, he quickly returned to his chair, pretended nothing had happened, and solemnly picked up a piece of green vegetable and handed it over.

"Uh, well, let's continue eating."

Su Qinghe trembled slightly when her head was touched. She raised her hand to smooth the stray hairs on her forehead and tucked them behind her ears, perfectly concealing her already pink ear tips.

……

"I'm full, I really can't eat anymore."

Su Qinghe touched her slightly bulging belly, her brows furrowed into a frown, and she looked resistant as Jiang Che offered her food again.

"The last bite."

Jiang Che kept his chopsticks hovering near her lips, patiently advising, "You're still a patient; how can you recover if you don't get enough nutrition?"

Su Qinghe pouted somewhat reluctantly, but in the end she obediently opened her mouth and ate the vegetables.

"Good girl."

Jiang Che then put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and took out a tissue to wipe the oil stains around her little mouth clean.

After clearing away the dishes, Jiang Che glanced at the bright sun outside the window and suggested, "You've been lying down all morning, why don't you get up and walk around a bit? Director Hu said that some activity can help with recovery."
