Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo was taken aback. Although she had said that, she hadn't figured out how to thank him, so she asked hesitantly,

"...Then how do you want me to thank you?"

Lu Tingnian thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "Then make me some midnight snacks."

he said.

Qiao Luo was taken aback. "Making a midnight snack? It's... that simple?"

Lu Tingnian asked, puzzled, "How complicated do you want it to be?"

Qiao Luo: "..."

I felt it was a bit too childish, but considering that this was probably all I could do for him at the moment, I didn't say anything more.

So she quickly went to the kitchen to make a late-night snack for Lu Tingnian.

Because it was so late, I could only make a simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

However, by the time she brought the bowl of noodles to Lu Tingnian, he had already fallen asleep.

Looking at his sleeping face, Qiao Luo couldn't help but sigh. Just as she was about to leave with the bowl of noodles, her stomach suddenly rumbled.

In the dead of night, the shout was too abrupt, and Qiao Luo was extremely embarrassed. Although Lu Tingnian was already asleep and couldn't hear it, she was still a little ashamed.

However, since Lu Tingnian was already asleep, she could only have the bowl of noodles. With that thought, she quickly took the bowl of noodles and left.

Little did she know that no sooner had she left than Lu Tingnian opened his eyes.

He wasn't asleep at all; he was just pretending.

After all, if he hadn't pretended to be asleep, how could Qiao Luo have eaten that bowl of noodles? Thinking this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and then closed his eyes again.

The next morning, Qiao Luo was woken up by the phone ringing. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and answered it.

"Luo Luo, how is your brother?"

Qiao Dahai's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Thinking back, they had called her many times last night.

But given how badly Qiao Yuanzhe was injured, Yu Huili would surely be devastated if she saw him, so she didn't want them to bother him.

At least not last night.

So she brushed it off.

But today is different. After a night's rest, Qiao Yuanzhe should be much better.

Moreover, they are Qiao Yuanzhe's parents, and she cannot stop them from visiting Qiao Yuanzhe, neither morally nor logically.

So she replied to Qiao Dahai, "Yuanzhe is in the hospital now. I'll send you the address later."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, but when she turned around, she found that Lu Tingnian had woken up, and she felt a little guilty.

"Sorry, I woke you up."

Lu Tingnian frowned, then glanced at the time. "It's time to get up."

As he was about to get up, Qiao Luo stopped him.

“You went to bed late last night, why don’t you sleep a little longer?” she suggested.

Lu Tingnian stared into her eyes,

"If you need to go to the hospital, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo quickly stopped her, "No need, I can go by myself."

After all, with Qiao Dahai and Yu Huili around, she didn't want him to run into them again.

Seeing her insistence, Lu Tingnian did not force her, as he also had other things to attend to.

So, after breakfast, Qiao Luo rushed to the hospital. When she arrived, Yu Huili and Qiao Dahai were already inside.

Yu Huili couldn't help but cry when she saw her son like this.

Qiao Yuanzhe was annoyed when she cried, but he didn't kick her out because they were in the hospital.

Yu Huili kept crying, and Qiao Yuanzhe finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Alright, if you want to cry, go outside and cry."

He yelled impatiently.

Yu Huili stopped crying, but she still couldn't accept that her son had been beaten like this because of a loan shark's loan. So, with a sob in her voice, she asked Qiao Yuanzhe,

“Yuanzhe, tell your mother the truth. Why did you borrow that 20,000 yuan? Did something happen to you? If something happened to you, you must tell your parents. You can’t bear it all by yourself.”
