Quick Wear: Why did the male protagonist fall in love with the vicious villain again?

the next day.

Xie Shubo went to the hospital again.

When he arrived at the ward, his cousin was talking to his grandfather by the bedside.

"Cousin." The younger cousin greeted Xie Shubo.

Xie Shubai nodded slightly.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling?"

Grandfather smiled and said, "It's fine. The doctor said I'm recovering well and I can be discharged in a few days."

My cousin pestered my grandfather, saying, "Grandpa, please get well soon. I'm still waiting for you to write me a piece of calligraphy."

Xie Shubai's grandfather was a renowned calligrapher, and any of his works was priceless, yet many people still flocked to acquire them.

"You little rascal, I was wondering why you've been so attentive these past few days, always thinking about my calligraphy." Grandfather chuckled and patted his cousin's head.

My cousin joked, "Haha, Grandpa's health is the most important thing. If you can't write, I'll ask my cousin for it. His handwriting is just as good as yours, Grandpa."

Grandfather said proudly, "The students I teach must surpass me, of course."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xie Shubo sat down next to the hospital bed: "Has Aunt Zhang not brought over the bone broth yet?"

My cousin said, "It was delivered a long time ago, but Grandpa didn't want to drink it."

Xie Shubo looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa?"

Grandfather coughed and said, "Your Aunt Zhang doesn't add any salt at all. It's really too much for this old man like me."

"Aunt Zhang is doing this for your health."

"Sigh, I know, I know," Grandfather sighed.

My cousin laughed loudly: "Grandpa had to hold his nose and finish drinking it in the end, hahaha."

My grandfather just had his last surgery yesterday, and he's still not in good spirits today, so Xie Shubo and the others left the ward after a short while.

While walking down the hospital corridor, Xie Shubai suddenly asked his cousin a question.

"Wen Shi, do you know why someone might dislike a stranger?"

My cousin didn't even hesitate: "That person must have done something annoying, right?"

"No, he didn't do anything."

My cousin was a little confused: "Huh? Maybe it's because our zodiac signs don't match? Or maybe it's just that we don't like each other's faces?"

"Facial features?" Xie Shubai frowned.

My cousin started giving examples: "Yeah, I hate seeing my dog, Dahuang, but it's because it bit me when it was a puppy. I also hate the tree in our yard; it's weirdly shaped and you just can't stand it."

Xie Shubo: "..."

My cousin shrugged: "Anyway, there must be something about that person that makes them annoying. I don't think someone would dislike another person for no reason."

"..."

Xie Shubai recalled the sound he had overheard last night.

That person said several times, "Why should I?"

Could it be... just because he's a member of the Xie family?

But as fellow students in the etiquette class, they shouldn't be so driven by family background...

"Cousin, cousin?"

Xie Shubai snapped out of his daze: "What's wrong?"

"Are you still going to class? Since you're already out, why don't you come with me to the theater to watch a play?"

"no need."

They had already walked out of the hospital gate during their conversation.

The driver had already opened the car door for Xie Shubai.

Xie Shubo walked to his car and said, "I won't be coming here anymore. Remember to take good care of Grandfather's health."

My cousin nodded: "Don't worry, I will."

Xie Shubo took a car back to school.

He glanced at his pocket watch; it was lunchtime.

After getting off the bus, Xie Shubo paused for a moment on his way to the classroom and dormitory.

He recalled the unfriendly look in that person's eyes yesterday.

That's it.

I'd better not disturb that person and just be alone.

However, Xie Shubo realized he was wrong as soon as he returned to his dormitory.

That person didn't go to the classroom.

He could hear the person complaining as soon as he got close to the balcony door.

"What does this mean? Futures? Options?"

"Why did I miscalculate the exchange rate again...?"

"How do I learn this? Why is it so difficult...?"

Xie Shubai paused, and he seemed to detect a hint of a sob in the voice.

Xie Shubai lifted the curtain and saw the person on the balcony clutching a book, head down, motionless.

In the silence, he heard a suppressed sob.

"..."

Xie Shubo couldn't help but take a step toward the balcony, but he accidentally stepped on a fallen leaf that had drifted onto the balcony, which startled the people on the other side.

Xie Shubai met a pair of reddened eyes.

The owner of the eyes had moist eyelashes, and there was still some lingering moisture in the eyes.

Their eyes met, and Bai Chao blinked blankly.

"..."

Xie Shubai suddenly felt as if something had gently touched the tip of his heart.

After Bai Chao saw the person on the opposite balcony, he finally realized what was happening and hurriedly ran back to his room with his books in his arms.

Xie Shubai stood still for a long time.
