I woke up instantly and found Chu Rui sitting next to me, and I was covered with one of his sports jackets.

"Chu Rui? How did you get here?" I couldn't believe it. I wondered if he had installed a locator on me to find me so accurately.

Chu Rui frowned and said, "I heard that you missed today's performance. I asked your team and found out that you had a fever and were sick."

"Then how did you find me?" I wondered.

Chu Rui shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Your address is on record with the society. I'll find out where you live after asking around."

"But I'm not at home." I asked.

Chu Rui looked down, with a trace of heartache in his eyes: "I know you are sick, and you must be getting an injection at a nearby clinic, so I came here one by one."

When I heard his words, I felt a little warm in my heart. Perhaps when people are at their most vulnerable and in need of care the most, the spark of a star can also bring warmth to people.

"Thank you." I said sincerely.

"What are you thanking me for? I didn't do anything." Chu Rui had a blush on his face.

"This dress is yours. I feel cold and aloof right now and I really need it." I whispered.

Chu Rui then smiled: "You are sick, where is your family? Why is there no one to accompany you?"

I was stunned. Maybe in Chu Rui's eyes, I might be the daughter of a middle-class family, and my family might also live here. It was really a beautiful misunderstanding.

"My family isn't here." I could only tell the truth.

"How can they let you live here alone?" Chu Rui seemed to be speaking up for me.

After hearing this, I felt a bitterness in my heart. There are some things that I really can't talk about in detail. My family, apart from asking me for money every month, how can they take care of me?

I also have underage brothers and sisters who need to be taken care of, and my mother puts all her focus on my brother. Not long ago, my sister asked me if I could help her find a job because she had graduated from junior high school and didn't want to study anymore.

That day, I scolded my sister, feeling a bit of frustration. I scolded her for not being ambitious at such a young age, for not focusing more on her studies. I scolded her for not considering that in the future, if a woman lacked ability, her only option would be marriage. If she suffered injustice in her husband's family, she wouldn't even be able to resist.

My sister cried that day and said, "Sister, you are too harsh. Weren't you like that before? Why does she have to be scolded when it's her turn?"

I also cried my heart out on the phone. Yes, as an older sister, I didn’t set a good example back then, so what right do I have to scold others?

In the end, I could only comfort her and ask her to make one last effort to see if she could get into high school. If she could go to college in the future, I would be willing to pay for her education.

A few days ago, the junior high school entrance examination was over, and my sister secretly told me that she didn’t get into high school, and she still wanted to find a job to make money.

"Why don't you speak?"

My sad thoughts were pulled back by Chu Rui, and I found that my eyes were red without me noticing.

"My family doesn't have time to come over, and I can live well on my own." I said, trying hard to be strong.

Chu Rui shook his head: "I think you are not feeling well now. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll buy you some."

After saying that, Chu Rui stood up and left. I looked at his tall and thin back, and the bitterness in my heart seemed to overflow, but I forced it back.

Not every girl can become a princess and be loved and cherished by her parents. Some girls need to put on armor and fight like men. Even if they bleed and cry, they can only swallow it silently.

Chu Rui came over with a packed breakfast. The nurse ran over and said, "Your boyfriend is so handsome and has a great temperament. He even bought breakfast for you."

After hearing this, I just smiled and didn't dare to admit it.

Chu Rui also heard it, his face flushed again, and he came over to help me open the breakfast: "Eat it, you should eat well when you are sick."

"Thank you." At this moment, his behavior really warmed my heart.

Chu Rui lazily leaned back in his chair, his voice revealing some mockery: "You still have a few words to say thank you to me? Everyone thinks I'm your boyfriend. You're making it difficult for me."

"You're not," I whispered.

"Can't you just pretend?" Chu Rui was a little unhappy.

"No." I said firmly, "When it comes to relationships, you can't mess around. If you mess around, problems will arise."

Chu Rui didn't know whether he was amused by me or angry. Anyway, he laughed for a long time before looking at me with burning eyes: "Okay, fake it won't work, it has to be real."

I looked at him with a confused look on my face, shook my head and didn't say anything else.

After eating something and receiving an IV drip, I gradually felt better.

Then, I looked at Chu Rui and asked, "Why did you come here to watch the show so early this morning? Aren't you on vacation? Why didn't you go out to play?"

I know that most of the rich kids in school are looking forward to summer vacation, and then their parents will arrange various trips for them, and many of them will even travel abroad. I secretly listened to them discussing which country is more fun, and I felt envious in my heart. I secretly vowed that when I made money, I would also go abroad to see the world.

Chu Rui looked a little uncomfortable and said lightly: "What's fun? I'm tired of playing. It's better to listen to the performance to cultivate my mood."

I knew right away that he was lying. He might have come here early in the morning just to see me.

Alas, my luck in love is really too good, and the few men I meet all want to be sincere with me, but where can I get so much sincerity?

Seeing that I was silent again, Chu Rui thought that his words had dulled the conversation, so he tried to find a topic to talk about.

"Jingjing, are you annoyed with me?" Chu Rui looked at me innocently and asked, "Am I a little clingy?"

I looked at him and laughed, "You finally admit that you came to the show because of me?"

"Okay, even if I don't tell you, you already know it. Will you hate my behavior?" Chu Rui looked at me with the innocent look of a big puppy.

I shook my head. "No, I'm grateful that you came to support me."

"Really?" Chu Rui seemed to be cheered up by my words. He lowered his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Originally, I was planning to invite your team out for lunch at noon, but I didn't expect you to not come."

When I heard this, I instantly felt that things were getting out of control.

Did Chu Rui misunderstand something? He didn't think that he could be with me by buying off my friends, right?

No, I can't let him have this idea, otherwise, this will be the beginning of ambiguity.

So, in order to make Chu Rui give up on me completely, I suddenly said, "Chu Rui, don't spend your time on me anymore. I have a boyfriend."
