After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning heard his voice and a mocking look appeared in her eyes.

She spoke, her voice still hoarse and sarcastic.

She said, "You've been lying to me for so long, is it fun?"

Ji Chiqian lowered his eyelids, not daring to look into her eyes at all. He swallowed slightly and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you."

"But you still did it, didn't you?"

Lu Ning looked up, her gaze cold: "You were in that car belonging to the Mo family, weren't you?"

"Yes."

Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?

Lu Ning felt like she was being played like a fool. After all, she had only discussed the matter with Ji Chiqian at the beginning, and only he knew what had happened back then.

But he never said it.

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips: "I'm too guilty to say it."

Guilty?

Lu Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Just as I thought."

She asked the question she had been wanting to ask, looking at Ji Chiqian: "Then I'll ask you one last question: Was the Ji family involved in this?"

“I was involved, but my mother was unaware of it.”

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Ning closed her eyes with difficulty, her chest heaving up and down, revealing her emotions.

After a long pause, she finally spoke: "So, you became the school doctor because of me?"

"Correct."

"Are you getting close to me to see if I know anything about what happened back then?"

Ji Chiqian pursed his lips: "I wanted to see how you were doing, and I wanted to make it up to you."

Lu Ning felt it was ironic; it was indeed an attempt to make amends to her.

Therefore, Ji Chiqian's kindness towards her was merely out of sympathy and guilt.

How much does he like her?

Lu Ning turned her head to look to the side: "I've finished asking, you can leave now."

Ji Chiqian looked at her with longing: "Let's talk again after the Mo family matter is settled."

"There's nothing more to talk about. Let's pretend nothing ever happened between us."

Lu Ning didn't want to see him again.

When Ji Chiqian heard these words, he almost lost his balance.

Although he had long anticipated that the day Lu Ning found out would mark the complete end of their relationship.

But when that day finally came, he felt unbearable pain.

Ji Chiqian stood there, and said with difficulty, "I disagree."

He didn't want to break up.

Lu Ning grabbed a pillow and threw it at him: "Get out of here!"

Ji Chiqian felt a jolt on his back. He bent down to pick up the pillow and said, "I'll leave after you finish your IV drip."

"Get out of here now, or I'm not going to lose."

Lu Ning was so angry that her face turned red and her eyes were also red.

Why shouldn't he agree to break up?

She's always been the one chasing after him, the one who takes the initiative to like him.

But it turned out that this was just wishful thinking on her part.

If Ji Chiqian hadn't felt guilty towards her, she would never have had any interaction with him in her life.

He couldn't possibly be that good to himself.

Their relationship was conditional from the very beginning.

Ji Chiqian turned around: "I'll wait outside."

After he finished speaking, he left the master bedroom.

As Lu Ning watched his departing figure, her face fell instantly, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: Bastard, you son of a bitch!

How shameless.

Ji Chiqian leaned against the wall outside the door and heard her cursing in the bedroom. His thin lips curled slightly.

The fact that he still has the energy to curse shows that his mental state isn't that bad.

Ji Chiqian felt an itchy sensation in his throat. He forced himself to go to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of cold water, and drank it to suppress the cough.

He sat alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the cushion next to him. It was a gift given by Liyuan during an event when he went to eat there.

Ji Chiqian poked the face of the plush pillow, and the soft touch from his palm was just like her face.

He lay on the sofa, his face unusually hot.

He would wake up every now and then to check the time, afraid of missing Lu Ning's IV drip time.

Compared to the agony of last night, this time is much better.

Lu Ning lay alone in bed, not hearing any sound from Ji Chiqian, and didn't know whether he had left or not.

She felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

He admitted that he had deliberately approached her, feeling guilty and wanting to make amends by treating her well.

Lu Ning's mind was in a daze, but she really wanted to ask him how much he liked her.

She also wanted to ask him if he wanted her to go easy on Aunt Ji.

But when she faced Ji Chiqian, her heart was filled with grievances and anger.

But what's the point of that?

Lu Ning stared at the ceiling, feeling her mind go completely blank.

She fell asleep thinking about it.

After a long while, Ji Chiqian walked in slowly. Seeing that there was only a little medicine left, he left it beside her and didn't leave.

After he sat down, he reached out to touch her face several times, but ultimately withdrew his hand each time.

When the time came, Ji Chiqian helped her remove the IV needle and pressed a cotton swab against the injection site.

At this moment, Lu Ning woke up.

She instinctively pulled her hand away, but blood beads oozed from the injection site.

Ji Chiqian pressed down on her wrist: "Don't move."

Looking at the needle marks on her wrist, Lu Ning recalled their first meeting, which was also in the school's infirmary.

At that time, she had just been reborn and was suffering from a high fever.

Lu Ning suddenly remembered that Ji Chiqian had appeared in her previous life as well.

She looked up at the man in front of her. In her past life, this man had also gone to the school clinic, but she had no interaction with him.

Because in her past life, she was only focused on making a good impression on her brothers and didn't care about the people around her at all.

So, given how tragic her fate was in her past life, did Ji Chiqian never even appear?

Lu Ning thought of the person she had met in a game in her previous life, whose online name was exactly the same as Ji Chiqian's, and who had even taught her how to play games.

If Ji Chiqian has been trying to get close to her and make amends to her, then all of this makes sense.

Ji Chiqian also appeared in her previous life; after she was kicked out of her home, he gave her a sum of money.

He had advised himself to leave the Lu family and live his own life back then.

But Lu Ning didn't listen, and in the end, her older brother locked her up in a mental hospital.

In her past life, she brought this upon herself.

Ji Chiqian felt a little awkward facing her gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He has never cared about what others think.

But she is different.

Lu Ning looked away: "If I stay in the Lu family and continue to contribute to the Lu family as before, what will you do?"

Ji Chiqian frowned: "I'll try to remind you."

"But I wasn't familiar with you back then, how could you have reminded me?"

Ji Chiqian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll figure something out."

"For example, by becoming my online friend and giving me reminders?"

Lu Ning thought of the method he used in her previous life. Wasn't it to team up with her to play games, get to know each other, and then tell her not to foolishly give to the Lu family?

Ji Chiqian considered the possibility for a moment, then nodded: "Probably."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Ning instantly knew the answer in her heart.

It turns out that the person who appeared in my past life really was him.

Lu Ning glanced at the back of her hand: "It's not bleeding anymore, and I feel much better now. You can go."

Ji Chiqian looked at the back of her hand without moving.

He finally looked up at her, a bleak expression on his face.
