Chapter 790: Chapter 790: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (16)
Grandma Mu didn’t wake up until the fifth day.
After awakening, her recovery went quickly, and with proper care, Grandma Mu’s spirits also bounced back quite well.
“Shenshen, why have you co again?”
“School’s out.”
“Didn’t grandma say you didn’t need to co over?” Grandma Mu worried that Shenshen wouldn’t have enough ti, always asking him not to visit the hospital.
“I’m fine.”
“Ah…”
Grandma Mu shook her head.
“Shenshen, when are we going ho? Staying here is so expensive, not to ntion the person you hired to look after . Grandma is feeling much better now, there’s no need to waste money.”
“Grandma, don’t worry about the money, I’ll figure sothing out. You just focus on getting better.”
“What can you do, child? Tell grandma honestly, where are you getting the money from?”
“…”
Shenshen brushed it off, and sure enough, Grandma Mu, with her poor mory, soon forgot.
For the first ti, Shenshen felt that grandma’s poor mory was a blessing.
Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to explain to her.
Shenshen sat down to do his howork.
Grandma Mu watched him with a warm smile, the scene was incredibly heartwarming.
While holding a pen, Shenshen suddenly looked up, “Grandma, do you rember the little girl who lived next to us before we moved?”
“Little girl?” Grandma Mu thought for a mont, “Did we have a little girl in our family? Don’t I only have one grandson?”
“Not our family, the family next door,” Shenshen corrected.
“Ah…” Grandma Mu shook her head, muttering to herself, “Why can’t I rember? Was there one?”
“I might have rembered wrong,” Shenshen said, “Don’t worry about it, grandma.”
Shenshen gazed out the window.
It was raining outside, drumming against the window with a pit-pat sound.
He took out a candy, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth, the sweetness as if chasing away everything else.
Shenshen pocketed the candy wrapper and resud his howork.
“Is Xiao Shen doing his howork?” The nursing assistant pushed open the door and, seeing the spread-out howork, greeted him with a smile.
“Auntie, you’re here.” Shenshen politely greeted her, the very picture of a good student.
And the nursing assistant indeed liked him.
He was the exemplar of soone else’s child.
“Ah, Xiao Shen’s grades are really good,” the nursing assistant remarked, looking at the test papers laid out, unable to resist complinting, “Not like my no-good son, whose grades can’t even be looked at. How does Grandma Mu teach you?”
Her grandson being praised made Grandma Mu beam with pride, “Shenshen has always done well, I hardly had to oversee him.”
The nursing assistant chatted with Grandma Mu.
“Grandma, I’ll go downstairs for a mont,” Shenshen suddenly stood up.
“Ah… It’s raining outside…”
Before Grandma Mu could finish her sentence, Shenshen had already left the room.
Shenshen went downstairs; the rain was pouring heavily. Chuzheng stood outside with an umbrella.
He ran over quickly.
The boy, slightly out of breath, carried his own distinct scent amid the rain.
Chuzheng lifted the umbrella over his head, “Do you have ti?”
“…Yes.”
“Join for a al.”
“…” Shenshen fell silent, “Is this the reason you were looking for ?”
He had assud she had co about the money issue.
“Not willing?” I ran here in the pouring rain to find you, and you’re not willing?!
“…” Shenshen glanced toward the direction of the hospital, subconsciously clenching his pocket; he hadn’t brought much money. He took a shallow breath, “No, I’m not unwilling.”
“Then let’s go.”
Chuzheng didn’t drive, after all, she was underage. The last ti was a special situation; she didn’t want to be caught and scolded.
Shenshen being a boy, and taller, ant lifting the umbrella much higher when Chuzheng held it.
He took the umbrella from Chuzheng’s hand, “I’ll hold it.”
Chuzheng gladly freed up her hands.
“Why did you co to eat with today?” Shenshen’s voice was sowhat fragnted by the rain.
“Can’t I co eat with you?” Chuzheng retorted.
Do I need a reason to have a al with you?
“…”
–
There was a food street next to the hospital, where Chuzheng took Mu Shen.
The prices here weren’t high, although of course if you wanted to, you could certainly spend a fortune.
Chuzheng picked a restaurant at random and, while ordering, handed the nu to Mu Shen.
Mu Shen shook his head, “You order. I’m going to the restroom.”
Mu Shen asked for the restroom’s location and hurried off.
Once inside the restroom, Mu Shen imdiately took out his phone and opened their group chat.
[Mu Shen: Who has so money? Transfer so to .]
Even though Chuzheng had said she would take him out to eat,
Mu Shen had never intended to let Chuzheng pay.
How to put it…
After all, she had lent him so much money.
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: Brother Shen, you need money?]
[Farr·Bitter Pumpkin·Business: I have a thousand, transferred it to you, Brother Shen.]
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: Two thousand, transfer done.]
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: Transferred.]
One or two thousand, for students like them, was quite a large sum of money.
But they still had quite a bit left from the money Chuzheng gave last ti.
Originally, they had prepared a portion for Mu Shen.
But Mu Shen didn’t take it.
[Farr·Bitter Pumpkin·Business: What’s going on, Brother Shen?]
[Mu Shen: Thanks.]
Mu Shen didn’t say what he was going to do, just accepted the money, and noted it down in his mo.
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: I’m really curious.]
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: too, really curious.]
[Farr·Bitter Pumpkin·Business: Sa.]
But Mu Shen didn’t respond to them anymore.
Several people in the group speculated and wondered if sothing had happened to Grandma Mu.
But when they called to ask, Grandma Mu cheerfully said that Mu Shen had gone out.
The ti was neither early nor late…
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: Why do I feel like sothing is strange?]
[Farr·Bitter Pumpkin·Business: Brother Shen rarely asks us for money.]
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: I just rembered sothing.]
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: What?]
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: Speak!]
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: Today’s June 24… It’s Brother Shen’s birthday.]
[Farr·Bitter Pumpkin·Business: …]
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: …]
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: …]
[Farr·Bitter Pumpkin·Business: Shit! Grandma Mu was recently hospitalized, I totally forgot about this. Where’s Brother Shen? Can we still call him now? Was Brother Shen hinting at us just now?!]
[Geng Hao the Gen Hao: Impossible, Brother Shen isn’t that type of person. If he borrows money, he definitely has a use for it.]
[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: So what do we do now?]
–
Mu Shen returned to his seat.
Chuzheng was resting her chin in one hand, looking out at the rain through the window.
Several appetizers, exquisitely made, were already on the table.
And Mu Shen noticed… they were all things he liked to eat.
Mu Shen glanced at Chuzheng, who just then turned away from the window, “That took a while. Are you constipated?!”
“Sorry,” Mu Shen apologized instinctively.
“…” The Good Person Card was behaving so nicely, how could it be so duplicitous!!
Chuzheng pushed so of the appetizers towards him, “Start with these; the main course will take a while longer.”
“Thank you.”
