After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Shen Man's eyes were red. "Jiang Chengzhou, if you hate me that much, I can apply to have a different doctor take care of you. You don't need to avoid me like this."

His attitude has suddenly changed these past few days; he's always avoiding her. Sometimes when Shen Man brings him food, he says he's already eaten.

It was as if Shen Man was some kind of monstrous flood.

Jiang Chengzhou's smile froze, and after a long while, he said, "How could I possibly hate you? I just find the hospital too boring..."

"Really?" Shen Man smiled, somewhat reluctantly. "Then you have to listen to the doctor. If the doctor says you can't be discharged now, then you can't be discharged."

"Okay," Jiang Chengzhou surrendered, "I'll listen to our Dr. Shen."

He tried to gloss over the situation by making jokes.

Shen Man, however, was not in the mood to smile. She nodded to him and walked out.

As soon as the door closed, Jiang Chengzhou slapped himself. "What a jerk! I have such a sharp tongue!"

The two of them inexplicably fell into a cold war.

For some reason, the situation suddenly turned in Shen Man's favor.

Previously, it was Jiang Chengzhou who was causing trouble, but now it's her who's causing trouble.

Shen Man made her rounds as usual, checking his wounds and changing his dressings, and reminding him to eat on time.

She would try to appear in front of Jiang Chengzhou as little as possible.

Every time Jiang Chengzhou looked at her with pleading or earnest eyes, she knew it was him, but she still avoided him.

"Shen Man..."

"Rest now," Shen Man said coldly as she put away the dressing tray. "The stitches on your arm can be removed tomorrow, and you won't need to change the dressing anymore. You can be discharged tomorrow and come back in ten days to have the cast removed."

"I... Shen Man, please let me explain."

Jiang Chengzhou can accept that Shen Man doesn't like him, but he can't accept that Shen Man hates him.

Shen Man stopped in her tracks. "Go on, I'm listening."

Jiang Chengzhou opened his mouth, "Shen Man..."

Shen Man stood there for a while, her temper flaring. She turned and walked to the bedside, grabbing Jiang Chengzhou's collar. "Jiang Chengzhou, are you even a man? I like you, what are you going to say?!"

"Yes……"

Shen Man's palms were sweating. "What is it?"

"...It's a man."

Shen Man angrily loosened his collar. "Stop joking with me. Just tell me what to do now? Give me an answer. If you don't like me, I'll leave. I'm not going to keep bothering you."

Jiang Chengzhou sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Why did you like me out of the blue?"

"That's my business," Shen Man said stubbornly. "I can like whoever I want. What about you? Do you like me?"

Jiang Chengzhou laughed, "Shen Man, how can you be so reckless?"

He had never seen a girl grab a man by the collar and ask him that kind of question.

Like a mountain bandit king.

"Don't try to change the subject!" Shen Man said urgently.

Jiang Chengzhou sighed, "We're not a good match."

Shen Man can find someone better than him; there's no need for her to worry about him.

Shen Man frowned, took a step back, and said, "Okay, I understand. You like me."

"What?" Jiang Chengzhou was taken aback, somewhat unable to follow her train of thought.

Shen Man pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him. "You only said it wasn't suitable, not that you didn't like me, so now we're mutually attracted. Now tell me, what's wrong with us?"

Jiang Chengzhou was speechless.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Man began to analyze point by point, "My family background may not be as good as yours, but my family has many houses and land deeds, and we are not short of money."

As for looks, you're good-looking, and I'm very beautiful; we're more than a match for each other.

Regarding education, I have a master's degree, while you have a bachelor's degree, but I don't look down on you.

As for our jobs, I'm a doctor and you're a soldier; we're both serving the people, so we're a good match.

I think it's a good fit, don't you think?

Jiang Chengzhou rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, "That's not what you said."

"Then tell me." Shen Man crossed her arms, adopting a posture that indicated she wanted to listen to his detailed explanation.

"I'm not good enough for you in any way," Jiang Chengzhou sighed. "Shen Man, you're excellent, you can definitely find someone better than me."

Shen Man sneered, "Jiang Chengzhou, don't put on this noble act. You think the person I like isn't good enough, so you want me to settle for someone I don't like?"

Jiang Chengzhou was speechless after being asked that question.

Shen Man continued, "Can't I be with the person I like? I think the person I like is the best, is that not allowed?"

Jiang Chengzhou was speechless.

Shen Man covered her face, somewhat defeated. "So, give me a straight answer: do you like me or not?"

Jiang Chengzhou's Adam's apple bobbed twice, his voice hoarse, "Shen Man, I haven't thought about these things. I'm not ready to be in a relationship right now."

Shen Man looked up at him, her heart aching and throbbing, something flowing from her heart to her eyes, hot and burning.

"Jiang Chengzhou, you are not brave at all."

Jiang Chengzhou lowered his eyelashes, tacitly agreeing with those words.

Shen Man was absolutely right. He thought he was great and noble, but in matters of the heart, he was a complete coward.

Jiang Chengzhou had never experienced love before, but when he tasted it now, he only felt bitterness. His entire throat was bitter, and the bitterness went straight to his bones.

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later."

Not receiving a response from him, Shen Man's eyes dimmed slightly, and she got up to leave.

Jiang Chengzhou grabbed her hand. "Shen Man, can you wait for me? Until the war is over?"

Shen Man turned around, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Jiang Chengzhou, time is very precious."

Jiang Chengzhou knew she was soft-hearted, so he took her hand and pleaded, "If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day?"

Shen Man threw herself into his arms, her voice trembling, "Jiang Chengzhou, all I want is to be with you day and night."

Jiang Chengzhou was knocked back by the bump, and chuckled hoarsely, "Dr. Shen, you're pressing on my arm."

Shen Man didn't move, and said sullenly, "It's okay, I can reconnect it if it breaks."

Jiang Chengzhou paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

After this conversation, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward between the two.

No one continued the previous topic.

Jiang Chengzhou understood Shen Man; she was stubborn, sometimes comparable to Li Xuan's stubbornness, or rather, his obsession.

When she was little, she had to do rehabilitation training every day. Even Liu Feng, a grown man, would sometimes cry out in pain. Shen Man would cry out in pain, but she never uttered a sound.

She wanted to recover as soon as possible, so she trained even harder.

It wasn't until Lin Zhilan told her that rehabilitation training had to be done gradually, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

From then on, Lin Zhilan made her train for only half an hour each time, and she would not train for a minute more or less.

Jiang Chengzhou "watched" Shen Man grow up, and he didn't know when Shen Man had entered his heart.

Before today, he had never imagined that the two of them would be together in the future.

However, Shen Man was much braver than him.

The next day, Jiang Chengzhou had his stitches removed and was discharged from the hospital.
