Chapter 157: Let Me Teach You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After learning from Murong Zheng that Nan Jin’s problem had been resolved, Murong Qiao’s mood became a little lighter.

She thought of the person from the Nan family who had given her the snacks and thought of Nan Jin. A guess immediately appeared in her heart.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the ward door, and the soft sound woke Nan Jin up from his light sleep.

It was the nurse who came in to put on a new bottle of drip for him.

“You look quite energetic,” the nurse greeted as usual.

Murong Qiao bribed a nurse to chat more with Nan Jin. This nurse had been talking to Nan Jin for the past two days, and the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

“Kek.” Nan Jin was about to answer when a heavy cough reached his mouth first.

The nurse was not surprised by such a scene and thoughtfully handed Nan Jin a handkerchief.

“Thank you.” Nan Jin thanked her politely and took the handkerchief.

“Why doesn’t anyone come to see you?” the nurse asked him.

Nan Jin shook his head. It seemed like he didn’t want to say anything else.

“Then does your family not know about your situation?” The nurse pretended to be curious and asked, immediately bringing out Nan Jin’s past memories.

He smiled bitterly, neither nodding or shaking his head.

“More or less.” Nan Jin sighed. “I felt that I had made a mistake, so I came out alone.

1 used to treat my sister very badly. I didn’t care about her at all as her elder brother. 1 was muddle-headed and didn’t know what I was doing,” Nan Jin said word by word. His eyes were blank, and he subconsciously fell into his memories.

In the past, in the Nan family, Nan Jin was also one of the people who bullied Nan Qiao. Nan Zhi even used his love towards her to do many things to Nan Qiao.

Nan Jin didn’t care about this at that time.

“Once, 1 saw that Little Sister didn’t eat, so I secretly hung some snacks at her door.” Nan Jin thought of that time and felt guilty. “But 1 didn’t notice that the snacks were actually expired. In the end, she ran to the toilet the entire day and had diarrhea. Her body suffered greatly.”

At that time, he didn’t expect there to be a problem with the snacks. In the end, his kindness caused Nan Qiao to suffer.

Even now that he thought about it, Nan Jin still felt that it was his fault.

If he had been more careful back then, how could his Little Sister have suffered so much?

The nurse didn’t say anything and quietly listened to Nan Jin recount his past.

Murong Qiao, who was standing outside the ward, also heard Nan Jin’s words.

When she heard that Nan Jin was the person who hung the snacks at her door, Murong Qiao vaguely felt her heart ache.

She didn’t expect it to be Nan Jin, but she did not feel very surprised.

Murong Qiao finally resolved the doubts in her heart, so she did not stay at the door of the ward any longer and returned home.

However, because of this, Murong Qiao’s impression of Nan Jin changed a little.

The day after returning home, Murong Qiao went to the hospital again, but this time, she also brought a bowl of chicken soup for Nan Jin.

“Aren’t you going to hand it to him personally?” The nurse looked at the chicken soup that was placed in her hand.

She originally thought that after she finished asking the questions yesterday, there would be nothing else for her to do. She didn’t expect Murong Qiao to look for her again today and ask her to help bring chicken soup to the patient.

“Don’t say that 1 asked you to give it to him.” Murong Qiao shook her head.

Ever since she found out yesterday that Nan Jin was the person who treated her well, Murong Qiao’s emotions had been indescribably complicated. She had yet to organize her thoughts.

“I understand.” The nurse didn’t ask further and entered the ward with the chicken soup.

Nan Jin looked at the chicken soup in the nurse’s hand and thought that it was given to him by the nurse, so he didn’t ask further and slowly drank the chicken soup.

Murong Qiao didn’t continue to stay in the hospital, nor did she want to go home. She casually found an exit and walked along the street outside.

She only felt that there were many things in her head, but her thoughts were empty and she couldn’t think of anything. Her melancholy was like a gust of wind that led her aimlessly along the street.

Murong Qiao leaned against the side of the street and looked down at the bricks under his feet. Suddenly, she b.u.mped into someone.

“Sorry—”

She subconsciously looked up to apologize and met Huo Yichen’s gaze.

The two of them looked at each other and suddenly recalled the scene of them promising to enter university together in their third year of high school. When they saw each other’s surprised gazes, they suddenly laughed in unison.

“What a coincidence. I b.u.mped into you just by walking around.” Murong Qiao greeted him first.

She didn’t expect to meet Huo Yichen while walking around. While she felt that it was fate, she also felt a little strange.

The matter of Huo Yichen confessing in cla.s.s was still vivid in Murong Qiao’s mind. She thought that if she saw Huo Yichen again, she would more or less feel awkward, but this time, she didn’t feel this way.

She looked at Huo Yichen standing in front of her and didn’t feel awkward and embarra.s.sed. She even felt an indescribable sense of relaxation.

Murong Qiao was a little uncertain, but she felt that she might like Huo Yichen a little, which was why she had such a feeling.

There was no such thing as a coincidence in this world. He had definitely been following her.

Huo Yichen ignored the fact that he had deliberately b.u.mped into her and only chuckled.

He didn’t hide his feelings. He looked at Murong Qiao with obvious joy.

Hearing him say this, Murong Qiao smiled as a response. However, her condition was clearly not as good as before.

Huo Yichen sensed that Murong Qiao didn’t seem to be in a good mood. He guessed that she had encountered something unhappy and thoughtfully didn’t ask further.

“Shall we walk together?” He suggested.

Murong Qiao had nothing else to do, so she nodded and agreed.

The one-man journey became two people. Seeing that Murong Qiao had nowhere to go, Huo Yichen directly took her to the arcade in the nearby mall.

There was a crashing sound in her ears. Murong Qiao looked at the two large bags of game coins that Huo Yichen had just exchanged for and was pulled to the basketball machine in the next second.

“Let’s see who can score more?” Huo Yichen picked up a basketball and weighed it in his hand twice. He turned to look at Murong Qiao beside him, his tone a little provocative.

Murong Qiao’s originally depressed mood gradually disappeared after entering the arcade. Now that she had Huo Yichen competing with her, she couldn’t help but smile and agree.

However, before the compet.i.tion, Murong Qiao had to learn how to shoot first.

“I’ll teach you.” Huo Yichen stood behind Murong Qiao, his hands overlapping with her position, helping to adjust Murong Qiao’s shooting posture.

Their bodies were almost touching each other, and the heat spread from Huo Yichen’s chest to her back. Murong Qiao’s attention was also distracted, and she made several mistakes.

“Arrange your wrists.” Huo Yichen didn’t seem to notice Murong Qiao’s abnormality at all. He looked very focused on his teaching.

Murong Qiao felt the heat spraying into her ears as he spoke. She felt her waist itch terribly and her body went limp.

She felt that something was wrong, but when she looked up and met Huo Yichen’s straight gaze, she felt that she was being paranoid.

Murong Qiao tried her best to focus on the backboard in front of her, but the physical contact made her face turn even redder.

“I’ve learned it.” In the end, she really couldn’t take this “torture” anymore and took the initiative to suggest an end. She didn’t notice the flash of regret on Huo Yichen’s face at all..
