Two days later, Meng Chuyue carrying a box of Space fruit that weighed over thirty pounds, visited First Hospital again to find Su Jinnian.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ci was also there.
Shen Ci had come to borrow money from Su Jinnian.
Su Jinnian had been wanting to use all his assets to support his startup, but he had always refused. Now, because of Qin Weilan’s death and due to Meng Chuyue, he changed his mind.
When Meng Chuyue reached the door, she happened to overhear Su Jinnian telling Shen Ci, "I have over two hundred thousand on hand, and I can also borrow some from friends..."
Meng Chuyue quickly stepped back; she didn’t want to embarrass Shen Ci.
She stood outside quietly, waiting for them to finish discussing the loan before pretending to have just arrived at the doorway.
Seeing her, Shen Ci was quite surprised, "Why are you here? Didn’t you say that the fake medical record was already done?"
"I came to bring Brother Su some fruit," Meng Chuyue naturally handed the fruit she was carrying to Su Jinnian.
Su Jinnian naturally accepted it, pointing to a chair on the side, "Sit for a while." Then he returned to his desk and continued writing something.
Shen Ci’s gaze darkened: When had their relationship become so good?
Could it be love at first sight?
Objectively speaking, both of them were attractive, so the possibility of mutual love at first sight was considerable.
As Shen Ci was lost in wild thoughts, Meng Chuyue suddenly said, "Will you be home tonight? I need to see you about something."
Shen Ci was short of money, she had plenty; she decided to lend him some to help him get rich sooner.
Shen Ci’s gloomy heart brightened instantly because of her words.
Regardless of whether Su Jinnian had feelings for Meng Chuyue, she must have no feelings for Su Jinnian; otherwise, she wouldn’t say such misleading things in front of him.
His lips curved warmly, "I’m home. These days, I’m always home at night."
"Mhm, I’ll come over at eight o’clock."
After a while, Su Jinnian put down his pen and kindly asked, "Are you two dating?"
His question stunned them both.
They both wanted to see the other’s expression but didn’t dare to look. After a moment, Meng Chuyue laughed, "I plan to continue studying, and I won’t date until I get into a university."
Now it was Su Jinnian and Shen Ci who were simultaneously taken aback.
Su Jinnian’s lips formed a rare smile, "What grade are you in this year?"
Meng Chuyue smiled with pursed lips, "I just took the middle school exams this year."
Shen Ci and Su Jinnian stared in disbelief, "..."
Had they heard wrong?
Meng Chuyue knew they would react and explained how she had failed the middle school exams two years prior and dropped out and how Shen Mei, valuing her academic potential, had kept her school record active.
After listening, Su Jinnian pondered for a moment, "I know some people in the education bureau, if you want to skip grades after entering high school, I can help you."
Meng Chuyue, who had decided to take the college entrance exams directly after her middle school exam results were out, bit her lip, "Hmm, we’ll see when the time comes, but thank you in advance."
Su Jinnian then went into the inner room to fetch the thing he had promised Meng Chuyue the day before.
Meng Chuyue thanked him, said goodbye to Su Jinnian and Shen Ci, and left.
Just now, except for that "goodbye," Shen Ci hadn’t spoken at all.
After Meng Chuyue left, Shen Ci clenched his fist and said to Su Jinnian, "Let’s postpone the loan for a few days; I feel like I need to think some more."
Su Jinnian, puzzled, asked, "Your idea just now was very good; I think it’s very feasible, what is there to reconsider?"
Shen Ci, "... I just had a flash of inspiration and felt there were many flaws; give me a few more days to think about it."
"That’s fine, just remember, don’t be shy with me."
Shen Ci’s face softened, but his heart seemed overgrown with weeds.
If Su Jinnian also liked Meng Chuyue, what should he do?
