Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Jin was clearly chatting happily with the taxi driver when he came, but now that he was standing at the school gate of Hui University and looking at the students coming and going, he wanted to retreat.
… Nan Jin stared at the gate, but his hands subconsciously clenched.
He couldn’t explain his current mood.
He wanted to see her, but he was afraid to.
He looked around at the walking students and stood rooted to the ground, not moving forward or back. His eyes were fixed on the school gate, as if he was afraid that he would miss something.
But if he really saw Murong Qiao and the other party saw him… she probably wouldn’t be happy, right?
Nan Jin smiled helplessly, but his smile was filled with bitterness.
“What are we eating later? Why don’t we go to the shop in the west? I still want to eat noodles!”
“Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat.”
“It’s human nature to have desires. Do you understand…”
The students were talking and laughing happily, but it didn’t cause any commotion in Nan Jin’s ears.
He only thought that even if Murong Qiao might not like him or not want to see him, he should at least go and see her for the sake of his Little Sister coming to see him during this period of time.
He stood steadily beside the school gate and saw the pet.i.te figure he was all too familiar with at a glance.
But that figure was not the only one. Before Nan Jin could see Murong Qiao clearly, his vision was blocked by Murong Chuan, who was wearing a trench coat beside her.
“Third Brother…”
The familiar voice and address were not directed at him.
Nan Jm watched as Murong Chuan and Murong Qiao walked together and he stopped in his tracks.
It was not easy for her to gather his courage to go forward and talk to his Little Sister, but when he saw this scene in front of him, that courage suddenly disappeared.
He was like a telephone pole that had fused into the street. The abnormal silence made it difficult to notice his existence.
Not to mention Murong Qiao, who was still talking to her Third Brother.
She looked at Murong Chuan with a smile. “Then I’ll have to trouble Third Brother to help me take a look at the thesis when you’re free.”
Murong Qiao had been busy with this matter for the past few days. She had other arrangements in the future, so she had to prepare the thesis in advance.
“Alright, I’ll reply to you tonight,” Murong Chuan agreed.
He approved of Murong Qiao’s active learning att.i.tude and preparation in advance.
Coincidentally, Murong Chuan was free today, so he looked for Murong Qiao and planned to send her home.
Murong Qiao was in a good mood. When she went to the road with her Big Brother, she even hummed a little.
That song was a new single released by the Qu siblings. She felt that it was especially good.
Nan Jin also felt that it sounded good.
When Murong Qiao pa.s.sed by him just now, Nan Jin vaguely heard something. It was melodious and sweet. With a few twists and turns, it made people subconsciously focus.
He didn’t know what song it was, nor did he know how popular it was. He simply felt that his Little Sister’s humming was good.
He stared fixedly at his Little Sister’s figure standing opposite the street, her face filled with joy as she chatted and laughed with Murong Chuan.
Nan Jin suddenly felt that he shouldn’t disturb Murong Qiao.
He looked at his Little Sister’s smiling face in silence. His intuition told him that he didn’t want her happy life to disappear because of his appearance.
“Actually, it’s quite good this way,” Nan Jin suddenly said to himself. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t.
It was good like this.
As long as his Little Sister was happy and he didn’t appear or disturb her, he should be satisfied with just secretly watching.
With this thought in mind, Nan Jin took a deep look at Murong Qiao’s figure and turned to leave without looking back.
No one knew that Nan Jin had come to Hui University.
Nan Hao, who had separated from his Second Brother at the beginning didn’t suspect Nan Jin’s excuse. After bidding farewell to him, he turned around and went to the window of the hospital.
Nan Xuan was still at work. Nan Jin said that he wanted to go back to work, so the matter at the hospital fell into Nan Hao’s hands.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m here to pay the surgery fees,” Nan Hao said.
He remembered that his Second Brother had undergone surgery previously, but he was too anxious at that time. Nan Hao didn’t think of this and only rushed to the operating theater.
The nurse at the front desk asked, “Patient information.”
Nan Hao gave it truthfully and waited for the records to be checked.
However, the nurse gave the opposite answer. She even looked a little surprised and told Nan Hao if he remembered wrongly.
“The surgery was already paid for on that day.” The young nurse showed him
the records. “Did you remember wrongly?”
Nan Hao was stunned. “How can that be?”
He looked at the record in surprise, but the system would never make a mistake. It clearly stated that someone had immediately paid the fee after the surgery began.
Was it Big Brother?
But he was not at work at that time… Moreover, he had called him back then It was impossible for his Big Brother to arrive earlier than him.
Nan Hao’s guess stopped abruptly, but he couldn’t think of a second person who would pay for it.
“I remember very clearly. At that time, an especially beautiful young lady came to pay,” the front desk nurse said.
To be honest, if it were an ordinary nurse, she might have forgotten about it in the blink of an eye. However, when Murong Qiao came to pay the money that day, her appearance was so outstanding that it was difficult to forget.
The nurse even praised, “She’s like a celebrity. I even wanted her to sign an autograph back then.”
However, this description reminded Nan Hao of Murong Qiao and the procedure for the surgery.
“■■?Who signed the surgery consent form?” Nan Hao asked.
But when he asked, he had an answer in his heart.
When it came to the patient’s family, the nurse naturally answered the truth.
She took out the contract that was signed that day and handed it to Nan Hao.
“The name is… Murong Qiao?”
When she saw that it was not the same surname as the patient, the nurse was stunned.
However, Nan Hao had a feeling that this was indeed the case.
He pursed his lips and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn’t expect Murong Qiao to pay for the surgery.
In that case, she was in the hospital at that time and might even be by Nan Jin’s side. Otherwise, how could she be so timely, even faster than him?
Regarding this kindness from his Little Sister, all Nan Hao could do was take a photo of the surgery consent form with his phone and go home to tell Big Brother Nan Xuan about it.
It was ultimately a considerable fee. Nan Hao didn’t think that they could enjoy their Little Sister’s kindness like this.
In the house rented by Nan Jin, Nan Xuan, who had just returned from work, stared at the photo his brother had given him and sighed softly.
“I’ll return this money.” Nan Xuan made a decision without thinking.
It was understandable that their Little Sister didn’t owe them anything and didn’t even have to help them. However, in the face of this surgery fee, Nan Xuan could clearly feel the warmth flowing in his heart.
Nan Hao naturally agreed with Nan Xuan’s decision.
However, he looked hesitant because the surgery fees were not something they could easily fork out now. It might even be a salary that their Big Brother could only earn after working for a few months.
“It’s fine.” Nan Xuan saw his younger brother’s worry and reached out to rub Nan Hao’s hair.
He smiled, wanting to lighten the atmosphere. “No matter how we’re doing, we
still have to return the money.”
Nan Xuan felt that he had owed a lot of money to Murong Qiao. Now that they had received their Little Sister’s kindness, they couldn’t accept it no matter what.
“I know,” Nan Hao said gloomily.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he returned to his room and walked out a few seconds later. He held a bank card in his hand and handed it to Nan Xuan.
“This is the 10,000 yuan I earned working part-time during this period of time.” Nan Hao explained the source of the money. “…I know this might not be enough, but—”
The last few words were unclear in his closed mouth. Nan Hao turned his head and awkwardly handed the bank card to Nan Xuan to express his intentions..
