Chapter 38: Getting Sick and Running into Shen Wanwan

Ning’s Mother sent her a message, asking why she wasn’t home yet and why Chen’s son was coming to get her things.

Ning Qiutang vaguely said she would stay at Jiang’s house for another day, and she didn’t dare to say she was sick.

According to her family’s overprotective nature, her parents would be nagging her endlessly at the hospital. Besides, she didn’t want to worry them.

She leaned against the hard, cold chair, feeling uncomfortable. She tentatively leaned against the person beside her.

Before, she wouldn’t have dared to do this, but now she really needed someone to care for her, someone she could rely on. She had always been a clingy person.

Especially when she was sick, she would cling to whoever was around her, treating them like a lifeline. She felt a sense of security only when she was close to someone.

Fortunately, Jiang Sheng didn’t stop her from leaning on him. He lowered his gaze slightly, looking at her messy hair, her thick, curled eyelashes fluttering like tiny brushes, and her exquisite, beautiful nose, which looked like a work of art. Her nose tip was even slightly pink.

Ning Qiutang closed her eyes, feeling safe. She grabbed the young man’s arm tightly, afraid he would run away.

After half an hour, Chen Jinshi found them.

Seeing Jiang Sheng, he quickly went over to them. He wanted to say something, but the young master gave him a cold stare. He noticed the girl sleeping against Jiang Sheng.

He lowered his voice, trying to be discreet: “Auntie Ning really spoils her daughter. I just wanted to ask a few questions about something I was taking, and I almost couldn’t keep up the act of being a sincere kid.”

Jiang Sheng pulled out a blanket from his bag and covered Ning Qiutang’s legs.

“She’s perfectly fine, how come she’s sick? You have a lot of patience.”

Chen Jinshi was shocked to see their closeness. Was this the same ruthless, heartless, and evil young master he knew?

Besides, Jiang Sheng had always been cold and even disliked those who desperately pursued him.

What had happened in the past few days? Their relationship had developed like a rocket, advancing at an incredible pace.

Did they get married without him noticing?

Jiang Sheng found him annoying: “It’s none of your business, go play outside.”

Chen Jinshi immediately zipped his mouth shut and silently played on his phone.

“Third Brother… thirsty…” Ning Qiutang mumbled in her sleep, her nails lightly scratching the young man’s arm.

Jiang Sheng held her restless hand. How could someone be so clingy when they were sick? He glanced at his idle friend.

Chen Jinshi nodded obediently and went to get water for the young lady.

“Hot water,” Jiang Sheng reminded him.

Chen Jinshi almost stumbled, his face full of fear.

What had this little girl done to Third Brother? The cold, heartless Jiang Sheng was now considerate and caring.

When he went out to get water, he saw someone familiar.

Shen Wanwan?

Oh right, her brother was in the hospital, so it was normal for her to come and see him.

But her identity was so complex, she was also Miss Xu. It was a happy ending for her.

But there was someone behind her, Zhou Mu.

They came over with medicine.

Chen Jinshi felt a little guilty as he went back with the water.

How could this be happening?

He ran over and sat next to Jiang Sheng, saying: “Third Brother, Shen Wanwan seems to be sick too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wanwan came in, with a fever patch on her forehead.

She seemed to be looking for a seat and saw Chen Jinshi hiding. She walked over and saw Jiang Sheng and the woman sleeping against him.

“Is Classmate Ning sick too?” Shen Wanwan chose to sit opposite them.

Zhou Mu was the class monitor. Although he wasn’t as rich as these wealthy young masters, he was still the top student in his grade, participating in various competitions and winning awards.

“I’ll go get your test report for you,” he said gently and patiently.

Shen Wanwan smiled politely: “Thank you, class monitor.”

After Zhou Mu left, Chen Jinshi stared at her with wide eyes.

Jiang Sheng fed Ning Qiutang water from the cup.

Ning Qiutang opened her eyes slightly, took a sip, and looked up to see Shen Wanwan opposite her.

Her muddled mind suddenly cleared.

Their eyes met, a battle without smoke was being waged.

The feverish heat in her body gradually subsided, Ning Qiutang instinctively pulled away from Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng frowned slightly, who was it that could come and go as they pleased?

“Ning Qiutang, am I invisible to you?”

Ning Qiutang looked at him, feeling that her previous fragile and clingy behavior was spineless, yet he had taken care of her tirelessly: “I’m not sleepy anymore.”

She argued, her mouth dry.

Shen Wanwan couldn’t bear it anymore, did he treat her like air? “Jiang Sheng, the teacher has been asking us to review together, you have some kind of misunderstanding about me, refusing to listen to me.”

“Since it’s such a coincidence today, let’s get this done officially.”

She actually took out a test paper from her bag and handed it to him.

Jiang Sheng didn’t take the test paper, with the suppression of the Buddhist beads, he finally felt complete control over his body, facing this Shen Wanwan, there were no more layers of filters.

He could completely ignore her: “Not in the mood.”

“If you really like doing problems, why don’t you go to the printing factory.”

Shen Wanwan’s expression froze, before the male lead’s feelings towards her could still be considered a little bit of liking, now it was completely full of malice.

She immediately said: “It’s okay, I was just asking.”

Ning Qiutang felt the stiff and cold atmosphere, the situation between these two people was completely the opposite of the last life, as if she and Shen Wanwan had switched roles.

The nurse came to give her an injection.

Ning Qiutang had her second bottle of medicine changed, she took her temperature again, and it had already gone down.

She immediately felt relieved.

Zhou Mu also came back and got her medicine.

Then he sat beside Shen Wanwan and took care of her meticulously.

Ning Qiutang took an extra look at Zhou Mu, to be honest, Shen Wanwan really had a lot of suitors, it seemed like every guy liked her.

Even Chen Jinshi…

But now Chen Jinshi was staring intently at his phone, playing games with all his heart, ignoring Shen Wanwan as well.

For a while, no one spoke.

Suddenly, several people rushed in from outside.

The leading girl slapped Shen Wanwan as soon as she came in.

“Why are you competing with me for my parents’ love, I’m clearly the only daughter of the Xu family, why did you appear, why don’t you just die already!”

Xu Wei’s eyes were filled with resentment, she glared at the woman who had taken everything from her, cursing loudly, losing all her composure and attacking her.

No one could stop her.

Shen Wanwan stubbornly raised her head: “What is what, you’ve lived a good life as an adopted daughter in the Xu family for all these years, please understand that if I hadn’t disappeared, why would you be a adopted daughter in the Xu family, you should thank me, understand?”

“I’ll tear your mouth apart!” Xu Wei went crazy, hitting and scolding, her face full of hatred and unwillingness.

Ning Qiutang was originally watching the show, suddenly that uncontrollable feeling came again, she was about to say something absurd again.

Without thinking, she grabbed the armrest with force, biting her tongue hard, refusing to say that sentence even if she died.

Her mouth was completely disobedient, she almost bit her tongue until it bled.

Jiang Sheng immediately noticed something was wrong with her, he directly grabbed her hand: “Ningning, what’s wrong?”

The hand wearing the Buddhist beads touched the girl’s wrist, Ning Qiutang felt her freedom restored, that desperate feeling of being controlled slowly retreated from her body.

She was sweating profusely, looking at him in shock: “I… I’m fine.”

She didn’t know how to explain the outlandish things, she also didn’t notice that her sudden freedom was due to what, she took a deep breath.

Jiang Sheng directly picked her up and walked out.

He asked Chen Jinshi to get her medicine bottle.

Shen Wanwan couldn’t believe her eyes as she watched Jiang Sheng carry Ning Qiutang out, why didn’t she trigger the plot?
