Shen Weiyi rose to open the door and saw the girl from the afternoon standing at the entrance, her hands full of a bunch of fruit, and two boxed meals. As soon as she entered, she focused on Shen Weiyi’s hand and asked, "How’s your hand feeling now?"
"I brought you some food. I asked your roommates, but they didn’t know what you like to eat. Next time you can tell me in advance so I won’t buy something you don’t like."
The girl unpacked the two meals and pushed them towards her, saying, "You choose first."
Shen Weiyi looked at the slightly chubby girl with a round face, who was staring at her with a pair of shiny black eyes, and said, "You don’t need to do this; it’s just a wrist injury, and it doesn’t stop me from eating in the cafeteria."
The girl in front of her shook her head, her face set with determination, and said, "No, it’s because of me that you’re injured. Until you’re better, I’ll take care of getting your meals. And I can do other things for you, like laundry, running errands, and cleaning. Oh, and I live in the dorm next door, so call me if you need anything. Also, my name is He Huan."
"He Huan, I really am fine, and you doing all this makes me feel embarrassed." It was just an accident, and Shen Weiyi didn’t blame her. If anything, she felt somewhat indebted because of the girl’s excessive concern.
He Huan patted her chest and said, "You don’t need to feel embarrassed; these are things I should do. If you don’t let me do them, I’ll be the one feeling embarrassed."
Shen Weiyi was at a loss.
Girls as earnest and straightforward as her were quite rare these days.
After eating, He Huan inquired about her medical expenses. Shen Weiyi indicated that since He Huan was going to run errands and get meals for her, there was no need to worry about the medical fees. Otherwise, she would have to pay He Huan a service fee.
"That’s fine then. Just call me if you need anything, and don’t be polite with me."
When He Huan left, she didn’t forget to tidy up the table for her and even took the trash with her.
Not long after, Fang Jing and Yan Xiaoyue came back, each carrying a milk tea in one hand and a piece of cake in the other, and placed them in front of Shen Weiyi, saying, "They say sweets can relieve pain, so we brought these for you."
"Thank you." Shen Weiyi hadn’t expected that a minor wrist injury would cause so many people to worry about her.
"Huh? Where’s Qin Ruo?" By evening, everyone noticed that Qin Ruo hadn’t returned yet.
It was almost time for lights-out in the dormitory.
Although they didn’t always get along, they were still living together in one dormitory, and it wouldn’t be right for them to ignore the fact that a young girl hadn’t returned home late at night.
Shen Weiyi also felt puzzled; she hadn’t seen Qin Ruo since she returned to the dorm that afternoon.
"Could she have gone to see Senior Sheng again?" Fang Jing speculated.
"Unlikely," Shen Weiyi shook her head.
Fang Jing and Yan Xiaoyue involuntarily looked at her together.
"Sheng Ting accompanied me to the hospital this afternoon, so he’s probably still in the lab right now. Qin Ruo wouldn’t have had the chance to see him." Given his personality, having been delayed for so long in the afternoon, he would undoubtedly make up for the time at night.
Unless Qin Ruo had been waiting outside the lab all this time, which, considering her personality, seemed quite unlikely.
Yan Xiaoyue: "Could she have gone home to stay?" As far as they knew, Qin Ruo was a local. Since she wasn’t required to attend military training, going home to stay was a possibility.
"Should we ask her?" Fang Jing asked, holding her phone.
Shen Weiyi: "Let’s ask." After all, they were dorm mates, and if anything really happened, it would be troubling for them too.
