"Uncle Qin, once it’s completely healed, I’ll see what it looks like in the end. I can’t decide now without seeing the full picture. I’ll know what to do when that final moment comes."
Bo Qin did not pressure her, "Alright, let me know when you’ve decided, and I’ll contact the hospital, whether it’s domestic or abroad, I’ll find one."
"Hmm, okay, thank you."
Returning home, Jian Dan was a bit fatigued. As she walked upstairs, Bo Qin followed behind her. Their rooms were both upstairs, and it was amusing walking one after the other. Jian Dan glanced at him following behind her, their shadows intertwined, and she smiled.
At the door of her room, she paused, turned around, and looked at Bo Qin, "Uncle Qin, good night."
Bo Qin was taken aback, then smiled. It was quite unexpected that Jian Dan would greet him with a good night. Given that their relationship had reached a freezing point, this good night was hard-won.
He slept well throughout the night, a smile playing on his lips.
On Jian Dan’s first day back at school, she was warmly welcomed by Hai En and Lai Wei. They had already booked a restaurant for lunch later. Hai En gently held Lai Wei’s hand, his demeanor soft, reminding Jian Dan of the first time she met Hai En, when he carried an air of aggression and carelessness. Now he had truly changed, it seemed he genuinely liked Weiwei. Read complete version only at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
She gave a knowing smile, "You don’t have to make it such a big deal!"
Lai Wei released Hai En’s hand and came over to put her arm around Jian Dan’s shoulder. Hai En followed behind them, smiling faintly, keeping pace with them.
In fact, the news of Lai Wei and Hai En dating spread around the school in just three days. Everyone was curious how two people who seemed to have no connection ended up together, especially since they were in different departments and different grades.
Yet, Hai En was often seen shielding Lai Wei, keeping her well-protected and secure. He did much more for her than people could see.
Many of their schoolmates had witnessed firsthand how Hai En treated Lai Wei well. Whenever they talked, it was like opening Pandora’s box, feeling incredulous. The topic always circled back to how Hai En was really good to Lai Wei.
Lai Wei knew this too.
During a class, Jian Dan secretly asked Lai Wei, "Have you taken Hai En home to meet Aunt yet?"
Even while dating, Lai Wei still ranked top in her major. When talented people are together with talented people, it’s a perfect match, and it doesn’t affect grades at all.
Besides, Hai En wanted Lai Wei to become even better, to do what she wanted to do. So he usually quietly accompanied her in her studies, learning alongside her. When Lai Wei had time for a date, he’d take her out to relax. When she wanted to study, he was always with her in the library.
Thinking of their recent mode of interaction, Lai Wei smiled, "It’s not the right time, my mom can’t accept me being in a relationship yet."
"Do Hai En’s family know?"
Lai Wei paused, then nodded, "Hai En’s sister and aunt both know. They’ll probably come over this weekend. I had a meal with Sister Hai En, Hai Ling once before. She’s a really nice person."
Hai Ling, it’s a name Jian Dan hadn’t heard in ages. She smiled as she recalled some past events, gently smiling, "As long as you feel good, Hai Ling is indeed quite nice."
Since it was a lunch date, how could they forget Mi Lu and Zhao Linlin? Zhao Linlin came over in the afternoon with Mi Lu. Seeing Lai Wei sticking close to Hai En, they both felt Lai Wei had changed. Zhao Linlin walked over to Jian Dan, glanced at her hand, "It looks pretty good now."
Jian Dan shook her hand, "Yes, it’s quite alright."
"Will you need a skin graft?" Mi Lu suddenly asked. Jian Dan paused, then shook her head, "I don’t have such plans for now. I’m thinking of waiting until it’s fully recovered to see the scars. If foundation can cover them, I guess there’s no need for it, it’s troublesome."
Zhao Linlin nodded, "Hmm, I agree with you. Although skin grafting now includes artificial cultivated skin, it still feels odd somehow, it’s not quite suitable. If foundation can cover it, there’s no need to waste time."
Lai Wei was led over by Hai En. Hai En looked at the trio and slowly said, "We booked a place for Cantonese food, are you all okay with that? Jian Dan just got out of the hospital, eating light would be better."
"It doesn’t matter, anything is fine."
