After dinner, Shen Ci gazed deeply into Meng Chuyue’s eyes and said, "I’ve promised you that I’ll let you join me in taking revenge on my mother and I’ve also agreed not to use extreme measures, but the Shen Family people are too shameless. To avoid bringing you danger, when we’re outside, we can only pretend to be strangers."
Was this the reason why he had been hesitant to confess his feelings for her?
But it seemed that because of this, she liked him even more.
However, although she had a good impression of him, she wasn’t to the point of not being able to live without him, and what he said was right. If the Shen Family knew that she was someone he cared about, not only would she be in danger, but she would also become a weakness and a tool for the Shen Family to use to harm him.
So, they should just let their relationship take its natural course.
If they were truly meant to be, they would definitely be together in the future, but if not... it was better to be indifferent for everyone’s sake.
She nodded gently, "I understand. We’ll call more often and meet less."
"Mm. Also, the Lin family might not let you off easily, so go to First Hospital tomorrow and find Su Jinnian. He’s agreed to make a fake medical record for you, showing that you have chronic nephritis."
Meng Chuyue had also been thinking along those lines and nodded happily, "Thank you, Ah Ci."
Shen Ci frowned slightly, "Remember to call me ’Brother’ from now on."
Call ’Brother’ if you want, why are your ears red?
She teasingly called out, "Brother... then I’ll head back first."
That "Brother" was incredibly soft and lingering...
His ears turned even redder.
The next morning, just after nine o’clock, Meng Chuyue drove her newly bought Jetta to First Hospital.
After parking the car and slinging a small backpack over her shoulder, she carried over ten pounds of space fruit in a combo-pack and asked around until she found Su Jinnian.
Su Jinnian appeared even more aloof than Shen Ci.
However, after a few days of interaction, Meng Chuyue realized he was just not talkative. In fact, his thoughts were generous and tender.
If Shen Ci was a little sun encased in ice, then he was a vast ocean also encased in ice, but still of the warm variety.
She gently knocked and opened the door softly, "Brother Su."
Su Jinnian happened to be free at the moment and stood up calmly, "Hello, please take a seat first, I’ll write you a medical record, and then take you to do the lab tests."
"Thank you, these are the fruits from my store, they taste particularly good, you should keep them and try."
If Meng Chuyue had offered anything else, Su Jinnian would have refused, but he had tried the fruit given to him by Shen Ci, and not only did it taste good, but he had also secretly taken it for testing and discovered that the nutritional content was exceptionally rich and its nutritional value was very high. Selling it for twenty yuan per pound... was actually too cheap.
He nodded, his voice gentle, "The nutritional value of these fruits is very high, if there’s a shortage of supply, I suggest you sell it for a bit more."
Meng Chuyue laughed awkwardly, "This year’s stock is almost gone, would you like me to save some for you if you like it?"
"Such a good thing, no one would dislike it. If possible, please save more for me."
Both of them were quite reserved at first, but as they talked, they discovered that they surprisingly got along very well, and became increasingly comfortable with each other.
After writing the medical record for Meng Chuyue, Su Jinnian took out a test tube from the inside room, "This is the blood of a chronic nephritis patient. We’ll use this for the lab tests now."
"Mm, Brother Su, could you also make another set to take to another hospital for testing? One fake medical record isn’t as convincing as having two."
"Okay, but not today. The day after tomorrow then, come over in the morning to collect it."
Meng Chuyue requested this from Su Jinnian not to produce a second fake medical record for another hospital but to keep it in her space for an emergency.
If one day the Lin family forced her to undergo an immediate check, she could swap it out with the original.
