At the train station, just after picking up Zhao Jingmiao, Gu Lingling suddenly felt a chill on her back. Why did it feel like she was being manipulated?
"Whatās wrong?" Zhao Jingmiao asked.
"Itās nothing." Gu Lingling shook her head and looked at a somewhat simple-looking boy who came with Zhao Jingmiao and asked, "Is this your colleague?"
"Yes, he is called Liu Guozhu from our factory, and heās here with me for further training." Zhao Jingmiao introduced Liu Guozhu to Gu Lingling and Zhao Xuefei.
Liu Guozhu chuckled naively, rubbed the back of his head, and said, "Iāve long heard that Xiao Jingās two siblings are studying at universities in the Capital City, you guys are really amazing."
Zhao Xuefei frowned, having some opinion about this nickname.
Xiao Jing?
However, Zhao Jingmiao didnāt seem to mind. As they chatted, they left the station, took a bus to report to the place where the two were being trained, and then Liu Guozhu found an excuse to leave.
"Sis, are you very familiar with this person?" Zhao Xuefei asked.
"Heās alright, heās an orphan who helps me a lot at the factory." Zhao Jingmiao nodded, "Donāt worry, I know what Iām doing."
"I donāt mean it that way." Zhao Xuefei said, blushing, "If youāre going to date someone, I think that previous guy was quite good, but this person... seems honest, yet..."
He couldnāt quite say how, just instinctively felt something strange, unlike the clear eyes of Dong Zhiming.
"Alright, brother, just focus on your studies. Donāt worry about your sisterās matters." Zhao Jingmiao said with a smile, "Whether Liu Guozhu is good or not, it has nothing to do with us, weāre just ordinary friends."
"Thatās not what I meant." Zhao Xuefei said anxiously.
He just felt that his sister, being such a good girl, deserved a better man to cherish her.
"I know." Zhao Jingmiao said with a smile, "Werenāt you going to treat me to a welcome meal? Letās go quickly."
Zhao Xuefei still wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Gu Lingling.
The place for the meal was naturally a hot pot restaurant. When they arrived there, Hao Lianlian was already seated and had ordered for them, "Sister Xiao Jing, I missed you so much."
Upon seeing Zhao Jingmiao, Hao Lianlian said with a smile, "I originally wanted to pick you up, but we happened to have a class at that time."
Before she finished speaking, a girl emerged from behind. The girl smiled sweetly, "Hello, sister, Iām Loli, a friend of Zhao Xuefei."
Zhao Xuefei, "... How are you here?"
"When I was going out, I just happened to run into her, so..." Hao Lianlian explained.
She didnāt intend to bring her along, but couldnāt stop her from following.
"Hello." Zhao Jingmiao didnāt know what was going on, but seeing her brotherās usually composed face finally show another expression, she was a bit surprised and greeted Loli with a smile.
During this meal, because they hadnāt seen each other for a long time, there was initially a lot to talk about. Add a witty and amusing Loli to the mix, and the atmosphere improved even more.
Meanwhile at the hospital, Zhou Mei and Su Rumei practically felt a sense of regret for meeting so late.
Zhou Mei was keen to get close to Su Rumei, and Su Rumei seemed equally interested in Zhou Mei, who was Yang Yunhaiās second aunt. For whatever reason, they found the conversation hard to stop once it started.
"Letās talk outside." Su Rumei glanced at Mr. Su lying on the hospital bed and said to Zhou Mei.
She was cautious by nature, and some things were better left unheard by Mr. Su, even though he was currently comatose and couldnāt hear them at all.
After they left, the hand of Mr. Su on the hospital bed suddenly moved twice. Although his eyes were closed, his eyeballs were moving as if he were about to wake up.
The moment the hospital room door closed, Mr. Suās eyes opened briefly, and then... closed again.
