Chapter 36: Disillusionment, Visiting the Illness Leads to a Slap in the Face [Please add to your fa
"Look, the most beautiful girl from Suzhou University has really arrived!"
A boy next to Chen Junrong spoke first, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Normally, Su Da's campus belle rarely participates in our class activities, but now that Young Master Chen is in the hospital, she comes right away."
"Doesn't that prove anything?"
"Exactly!" another boy chimed in, "Maybe the campus belle from Suzhou rejected Chen Shao at the karaoke bar because she was too embarrassed to do it in front of everyone."
"Now that Young Master Chen is injured, School Beauty Su must be worried, which is why she came right away."
A girl nearby, unaware of the situation, leaned over and whispered, "Is Su Qianqian really interested in Chen Junrong?"
"How could that be fake?" someone else chimed in. "Think about it, what kind of personality does Su Qianqian usually have? She's always been a loner and doesn't even attend class gatherings."
"Now that Chen Junrong is hospitalized, she personally came over. What else could this be but concern?"
"Maybe she came today to agree to be with Chen Junrong."
Most of the students in the ward didn't know what had happened at the KTV that night; they had only heard bits and pieces of rumors.
Now that they saw Su Qianqian herself standing at the ward door, and with people talking about her in a very detailed way, they all started whispering among themselves.
Some people say that Su Qianqian had been secretly in love with Chen Junrong all along.
Some people say they were together before, but just didn't make it public.
Some people say that Chen Junrong was beaten this time because Su Qianqian's suitor was jealous.
Chen Junrong listened to these words and found them increasingly reasonable.
He didn't know why Su Qianqian had come today.
But since we're here, we must care about him.
As for the incident at the KTV that day, when Su Qianqian rejected him to his face, it was probably really because he was too proud.
Chen Junrong leaned against the pillow, a smile slowly creeping onto his lips.
A few seconds later.
Lin Bei pushed open the ward door and went in, followed by Lao Gao, Su Qianqian, and Song Qingning.
The students who had been gathered at the door earlier also rushed in.
The already cram-in ward suddenly became stuffy with nearly twenty people.
The once noisy ward became much quieter in an instant.
The students who were standing automatically moved aside to make way for Su Qianqian.
Chen Junrong leaned against the pillow, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Su Qianqian walk in.
His gaze traveled from Su Qianqian's light blue dress to her white flat sandals, and then back to her face.
The words his classmates had just said kept replaying in his mind.
The campus belle of Suzhou University was just saying one thing and meaning another when she rejected Chen Shao. Now that she knows he's injured, she immediately comes to see him...
The more Chen Junrong looked at Su Qianqian, the more he felt that her words made sense. The corners of his mouth turned up higher and higher, and he even forgot the pain in his waist wound.
He had already mentally pictured everything that was about to happen.
Later, Su Qianqian walked to the bedside and told the whole class that she was worried about him.
Then, he took Su Qianqian's hand.
After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Junrong first took Su Qianqian to the newly opened Western restaurant for dinner, and then to see a movie.
He even had a plan in mind where he would go during the summer vacation.
We'll go to the beach then; Su Qianqian will definitely look beautiful in her swimsuit.
Standing next to Lin Bei, Song Qingning could clearly see the smug expression on Chen Junrong's face.
She saw Chen Junrong's eyes staring straight at Su Qianqian, with that kind of smile that gave her goosebumps.
Especially when her fingers were outside the blanket, unconsciously tapping the edge of the bed.
He looked like a fool who had just won the lottery and was waiting to claim his prize.
Song Qingning put her hands into the pockets of her denim shorts and held them tightly.
She didn't say anything, and her expression was very calm.
But when he looked at Chen Junrong, his eyes were so cold they could freeze.
Lin Bei stood at the doorway, his view of the entire ward and Chen Junrong's expression perfectly visible.
Chen Junrong's soaring higher and higher was exactly as he had imagined.
Lin Bei's lips curled up slightly, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending to adjust his sleeves, almost bursting out laughing.
He bit his lower lip hard, trying to suppress the laughter that was welling up inside him, until his eyes started to sting.
Fortunately, the lights in the ward were dim, and no one noticed his expression.
Lin Bei put his hand down and walked naturally to the bedside table.
There was a fruit basket on the cabinet, still wrapped in plastic, containing apples, bananas, and a few bunches of grapes.
Lin Bei reached out and tore open the plastic film, took out an apple, picked up the unopened fruit knife next to the fruit basket, and began to peel the apple while sitting on the empty chair next to him.
He peeled it very carefully, the blade slowly rotating along the apple peel, the peeling skin thin and intact, hanging down in a long spiral.
Old Gao glanced at Lin Bei, then went over and took an apple, sitting down to peel it.
Old Gao's shaving method is completely different from Lin Bei's.
He held the knife like a kitchen knife, and with one stroke, he peeled off the skin and flesh, removing half a centimeter of the apple. The surface of the apple was pitted and cratered, and juice dripped down his fingers.
Chen Junrong did not notice the two people peeling apples in the corner.
His entire attention was focused on Su Qianqian at that moment.
Chen Junrong cleared his throat and moved the cushion up a bit to make his posture look more natural.
Then, in what he considered a very gentlemanly tone, he began:
"Qianqian, I didn't expect you to come see me."
In an instant, everyone in the room turned to look at Su Qianqian.
The students who had been discussing things in the hallway held their breath, waiting for Su Qianqian to speak.
Let's see if those guesses from earlier are true or not.
Lin Bei was peeling an apple with his head down, not even looking up, and muttered under his breath, "You peeled it so badly."
Old Gao glanced at the apple in his hand, which looked like it had been chewed by a dog, and chuckled, "It really is ugly."
Chen Junrong heard the conversation between Lin Bei and the other person, but he just gritted his teeth and didn't get angry.
He recognized the voice; it belonged to Gao Da from his class.
But Su Qianqian was standing right in front of him, and he didn't want to be distracted at this moment.
So Chen Junrong held back, fixing his gaze on Su Qianqian's face, waiting for her to speak.
Su Qianqian's expression remained unchanged.
She didn't move forward or find a chair to sit down; she just stood there aloofly.
"Chen, please don't misunderstand."
"I came here today simply from the perspective of a classmate, and there is no other intention."
She glanced at Chen Junrong on the hospital bed, her tone carrying that familiar coldness:
"And one last time."
"Don't call me that so affectionately, we're not that close."
