Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

Zhou Chiye pushed open the door and turned back to give her a deep look.

His eyes were sticky and burning, like he was staring at prey on his plate.

The door closed.

Jiang Li leaned against the kitchen counter and looked down at her palms.

The spot where it was licked is still numb.

"Tongzi, my palms are still warm."

Honey, I suggest you wash your hands to cool down, and also to lower your heart rate.

This kid's getting less and less pretentious; next time he probably won't just lick his palm.

Jiang Li put her hands behind her back, deciding not to think about it.

She asked the system to retrieve data from popular novel platforms in this world and began researching which genres would bring in money quickly.

After all, making money is the priority.

If you want to run away, you need to have the money for the trip first.

What she didn't know was that Zhou Chiye didn't head towards the sports field at all after leaving the residential area.

The boy stood in the morning light, but his face showed no trace of sunshine or cheerfulness.

He touched his wrist below the wristband, rubbing it back and forth with his fingertips a couple of times.

Just let my brother rest for a few days.

It won't be too serious.

He assured himself.

An hour later.

Jiang Li's phone rang, and Xu Qingyu's name appeared on the screen.

She answered the phone, and the voice on the other end sounded visibly flustered.

"Jiang Li, Yan Chuan had a bit of an accident. He injured his foot and needs to be hospitalized."

Could you please get him some clean clothes to bring to the hospital?

Jiang Li gripped her phone, her voice filled with barely concealed panic.

"How could this happen? Is Yan Chuan seriously injured? I'm coming right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Li's panic completely disappeared.

She frowned, stood by the kitchen island, and mentally went over the phone call.

Zhou Chiye went out to play ball, and Zhou Yanchuan was injured and hospitalized shortly after.

What a coincidence!

It was such a coincidence that the way Zhou Chiye stared at the master bedroom door last night immediately popped into her mind.

And just now, when my nose was bleeding, that kid snuggled up to my neck and acted all innocent.

[System, check quickly, could Zhou Yanchuan really be missing an arm or a leg?]

Jiang Li frantically called for the system in her mind.

【Honey, I've checked.】

The system's electronic voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.

[He's out of danger, his life is saved.]

He broke his leg and will probably be in a wheelchair for about a month.

[It really wasn't Zhou Chiye who did it?]

Jiang Li was skeptical.

This kid is very guarded; even if he moves, he'll probably avoid the cameras. There's nothing I can do about it.

The system sighed.

However, knowing how cunning this kid is, there's an 80% chance he won't escape.

Jiang Li rolled her eyes inwardly.

We cannot draw conclusions without evidence.

But her intuition told her that this was not a simple matter.

Without thinking further, she quickly found Zhou Yanchuan's change of clothes, put them in a bag, and went out.

However, if this kid really manages to get his own brother hospitalized in his quest for favor, it might be a mistake.

That's really ruthless.

she likes.

When I arrived at the hospital, the ward door was half open.

Jiang Li stood at the door and saw Xu Qingyu bending down to help Zhou Yanchuan straighten the collar of his hospital gown.

The two were very close, and Xu Qingyu's movements were excessively gentle.

Zhou Yanchuan even whispered something, and Xu Qingyu's ears visibly turned red.

This scene looks exactly like a young couple flirting.

Jiang Li deliberately made her footsteps louder.

Xu Qingyu immediately straightened up, took a half step back, and resumed his proper and aloof demeanor as "Assistant Xu".

"Xiaoli is here."

He stepped aside to make way, his tone calm.

Jiang Li smiled at him and quickly walked to the bedside:

"Yanchuan-ge! How are you? Is it serious?"

Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes were red-rimmed, and her fingers gripping the bag of clothes were shaking.

A typical "frightened little wife".

Zhou Yanchuan leaned against the headboard, his right leg was in a brace, his face was a little pale, but he was in good spirits.

Seeing Jiang Li so flustered, he reached out and patted the back of her hand.

"Don't worry, he just missed a step going down the stairs and broke his leg."

The doctor said it will be fine after a month of rest, so there's no need to be too worried.

"A month?"

Jiang Li opened her eyes wide.

"Yes, it'll be about this month. I guess I'll have to trouble you to take care of me."

Zhou Yanchuan sighed.

"We're family, what's all this trouble?"

Jiang Li wiped away her tears and spoke in a sweet tone.

Xu Qingyu stood at the back, and his face turned pale when he heard the words "family".

He lowered his head and twisted his hands together.

Jiang Li sat on the chair by the bed, her mind already having a little meeting with the system.

[In other words, Zhou Yanchuan will be basically unable to move normally for a month.]

Yes, treasure.

This means he can't go home, or if he does, he'll need someone to take care of him.

In either case, you'll spend significantly more time alone with Zhou Chiye.

What a coincidence!

【It is indeed a coincidence, but as I said, there is no evidence.】

Jiang Li didn't press the matter further. On the surface, she quietly poured water for Zhou Yanchuan and tidied up his things, appearing as a virtuous little wife.

The ward door was pushed open again.

Zhou Chiye appeared at the door, covered in sweat.

The collar of his basketball jersey was soaked, and stray hairs clung to his sweaty forehead.

He was panting heavily, as if he had run all the way here.

"elder brother!"

He rushed to the bedside, his face full of worry.

"How are you? Is it serious?"

"I just went to play some ball, how did you end up in the hospital?"

He was breathing rapidly, his brows were furrowed, and his voice carried the panic and self-reproach typical of a young man.

Zhou Yanchuan looked at his younger brother, who was covered in sweat, and laughed instead.

"Why did you run? It's not a big deal. You just missed a step on the stairs. You'll be fine after a month of rest."

"That's an injury too!"

Zhou Chiye grabbed a tissue from the side and wiped his face haphazardly before squatting down by the bed.

"Brother, have you been working too hard lately? You're even missing a step when you go down the stairs."

"Maybe."

Zhou Yanchuan ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Zhou Chiye lowered his eyes.

Long eyelashes cast a shadow, obscuring the complex emotions churning in his eyes.

He just wanted his brother to rest at home for a few days, he didn't expect it to be this serious.

"So, what are you going to do these days, bro?"

He looked up, his voice very soft.

"You need someone to take care of you, right? I'm free after the college entrance exam anyway, I'll take care of it."

"No need, you should have fun and socialize..."

"I want to come."

Zhou Chiye interrupted him, his tone serious.

"You're my brother, isn't it only right that I take care of you?"

Zhou Yanchuan looked into his younger brother's eyes and patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Chiye smiled but didn't say anything.

That smile was fleeting, carrying something Jiang Li couldn't quite understand.

Forty minutes later, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou arrived at the ward.

Not long after, there was another commotion outside the ward.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou rushed over.

Zhou's mother was already in poor health, and now her face was deathly pale. She was helped in by Zhou's father.

"Yanchuan!"

As soon as Zhou's mother saw her son on the hospital bed, tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Li quickly went to meet her and supported Zhou's mother's other arm.

"Mom, don't worry, the doctor said it's just a fracture, and it will be fine after a month of rest."

Jiang Li gently persuaded her.

"How could I have missed a step on the stairs out of nowhere!"

Mr. Zhou's stern gaze swept over everyone in the ward.

Finally, it stopped on Xu Qingyu.

(Here's a picture of the darlings without them smiling; they look a lot like Pei the Green Tea (#^.^#))
