To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

It's okay, she doesn't need him to say it.

"Have you eaten?" he asked her after a while.

"I ate it." She said in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

"There's no share for me again?" His tone became strange now.

“Yes…” She opened the tin lunchbox, which was full of food.

His gaze, which had been fixed on her, finally relaxed. "That's more like it!"

When Lin Qingping handed him the food, she was certain that the Lu family's food was terrible. What would he do in the future? What would he eat?

Thinking about this, she felt incredibly foolish. Even in this state, she was still worrying about him. It wouldn't taste good if he stayed at someone else's house…

“These books are practice books that Xiaomei did last year when she took the college entrance exam. You can use them to practice; they should be helpful,” he said while eating.

"I don't want to." She said in a flat tone.

She constantly reminded herself that he was wounded, he was wounded, and she shouldn't argue with him. However, she felt a physical aversion to the name Lu Meizhi, and besides, he called her Xiao Mei...

Although they are about to become a family, there's nothing wrong with calling someone by their nickname, but she still felt uncomfortable hearing it.

What did he call her?

Full name: Lin Qingping.

Therefore, the fact that she could maintain a calm tone was a result of constantly reminding herself: since these are the last days anyway, she should do a good deed every day.

"You..." Gu Juncheng said patiently, "They brought this especially for you, and you're still being childish!"

"I wasn't being petty!" Lin Qingping felt waves of grievance welling up inside her.

"You're still being stubborn. I know you too well." Gu Juncheng saw right through her expression.

"I don't need it! You can look at it yourself! I can pass the exam! I can pass the exam without these books!" Lin Qingping flipped through her books, her tone smug.

He was amused by her words, "You're quite something!"

"I'm capable! You have no idea how capable I am!" Lin Qingping thought about the amount of money in her savings account, and then recalled her glorious life in her previous life. Everyone knew she was capable.

"Fine, I know you're capable! Very capable!" He finally stopped forcing her to accept the books.

Lin Qingping pursed her lips and shook her head. "You're much more capable than that Xiao Mei who tried to fob me off with 2000 yuan!"

After finishing his meal, Gu Juncheng placed the lunchbox on the bedside table.

Soon the bedside table was full of things, and I'll have to tell the nurse when she comes.

Lin Qingping put down her book and started packing her things. First, she put the books that Lu Meizhi had brought into the cabinet. She didn't want to see these books, but she also didn't want to be scolded by the nurse.

When I picked up the book, the pages inside opened inadvertently and were filled with notes written in neat handwriting, clearly all in Lu Meizhi's handwriting.

Gu Juncheng actually wants her to use such a book to review?

What was he thinking?!

I opened the cabinet and threw the books inside. They weren't placed properly, and one of the books fell out, spilling a piece of paper out.

Lin Qingping picked up the paper, and at a glance, it was clear that the handwriting was not Lu Meizhi's.

The calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, characteristic of a man.

The most eye-catching thing on this piece of paper, something you can't help but see at a glance, is the signature on the last line: Juncheng.

Lin Qingping loosened her grip, and the paper fell again.

"What is that?" Gu Juncheng's voice rang out from behind him.

Lin Qingping picked it up again. "It's nothing, just a notebook."

With her back to him, out of his sight, she carefully read the words on the paper: "To my beloved Xiaomei, the little girl from before has grown up. Looking back, I only regret that we met too late. Could you give me some time to settle things at home? Please wait for me?"

Every word caught my eye.

You can't read each word a second time.

Lin Qingping tucked the paper back into the book, hurriedly took the lunchbox away, and used the time to wash the lunchbox to let the tears in her eyes slowly recede.

I washed my face thoroughly in the washroom, scrubbing until it was red and sore, before finally squeezing those words out of my mind.

She spent half an hour washing the lunchbox before returning to her ward as if nothing had happened.

Gu Juncheng had been watching her ever since she entered the ward. "Why did you take so long?"

"Oh, I ran into a fellow patient's family member and we exchanged a few words." She put the lunchbox away.

"come here."

Lin Qingping thought he needed to relieve himself, so she drew the curtain, walked up to him, and was about to bend down to help him when he put his arm around her waist and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"What are you doing? Be careful of the needle!" Lin Qingping struggled to move.

"It's alright, this hand is fine!" He held her tightly.

"Let's talk this out. I'm reading!" She turned her head to look out the window.

Gu Juncheng frowned. "Have I become much uglier since I got injured this time?"

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? What do you mean?

“I’ve never looked in a mirror, so I can’t see myself.” He looked thoughtful.

"Do you want to look in the mirror?" Lin Qingping could get it for him! But he had to let go of her!

He shook his head, pointing to his face, "Have I really become ugly?"

Lin Qingping shook her head.

"If I'm not ugly, why haven't you looked at me properly even once this time?"

Lin Qingping: ...

What do you mean?

"Lin Qingping, are you still angry with me?"

Actually, there really isn't.

She was indeed in a bad mood, but she was only sad herself and not angry with him. On the contrary, she sincerely wished him well.

“Lin Qingping, Xiaomei isn’t what you think. She’s just a young girl, still immature. Although she’s 20, she’s not as capable as you. She’s just been spoiled by her family, which has made her like this…”

Lin Qingping listened to his words, her mind filled with questions: ???

So why tell her all this? Do you expect her to like Lu Meizhi too?

How can this be?

Gu Juncheng, are you perhaps still dreaming of having two wives?!

"I'm not interested in her or her family. I have a lot of things to do. I'm going back to my seat!" Lin Qingping quickly cut him off, she really didn't want to hear it.

Gu Juncheng didn't let her go, and the two remained locked in a stalemate for a while. Suddenly, Lin Qingping's face flushed as he kissed her.

Why is this necessary?

Then Gu Juncheng said, "Tomorrow is Aunt Lu's birthday, I can't go, can you go for me?"

Ha ha!

After going through a huge detour, we found ourselves waiting here!

"Why don't you go? Wu Tianping should also arrange for Mei Li to go, so you can go together and keep each other company." He continued to persuade her in her ear.

Lin Qingping thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay!"

Let us do one good deed every day, as if these were our final days.

Since even one good deed is fine, let's do more good deeds!

Once you've done it, you've paid it off!

The next day, Lu Meizhi didn't come, so Lin Qingping went to the Lu family's house with the address Gu Juncheng had given her.

Because she came to the provincial capital to take care of a patient, she was dressed very plainly, in clothes that made it easy for her to sit or lie down while taking care of the patient. When she arrived at the Lu family's house, she felt out of place with the people inside.
