Shang Jin immediately pushed open the door and entered. He just so happened to see Jian Ning, who was caught unprepared, sitting on the bed and crying softly, as though his heart was blocked by something.
Jian Ning held onto the blanket with both hands and pursed her lips, unwilling to answer such a question.
"Nope."
Seeing that she wasn't willing to say anything, Shang Jin didn't continue asking. He just looked at her very deeply, making Jian Ning at a loss of what to say.
"Knock —"
A knock on the door interrupted their awkwardness.
Uncle Liu knew that Shang Jin was inside right now, so he very politely waited for Shang Jin to let him in before bringing the people behind him in with a smile.
"Young Master, the food is here. Should we call for someone to feed us?" Uncle Liu asked after they had put down the dishes.
"Allow me."
Shang Jin stood up and took the bowl from the hands of the bystanders, then directly fed Jian Ning with a spoon in front of the others.
However, before the food even reached her mouth, Jian Ning's face had already flushed red. She lowered her head, and awkwardly, didn't dare to look.
"Then young master, we'll be leaving first."
Uncle Liu could see the uneasiness in the two of them, so he bowed slightly. After he finished speaking, he brought the others and left.
When he reached the door, he did not forget to look back at the two of them who were still in a stalemate, his eyes filled with a smile.
After Uncle Liu left, Shang Jin said with a cold face: "Open your mouth."
She kept her head down, but her hands were sore from holding a bowl.
Jian Ning raised her head and looked at him with suspicion. She thought that he was just joking, she didn't think that he would really feed her, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"I'll do it myself." She reached out to take the bowl from Shang Jin's hands.
Shang Jin dodged gently and with a hint of impatience, he said, "Eat, don't talk rubbish."
Since he had already said it like that, Jian Ning could only open her mouth in embarrassment and nibble on it, occasionally sizing up Shang Jin.
Downstairs, when Liu Yiwei saw Uncle Liu and the rest come down, she immediately stood up and walked to Uncle Liu's side, looking behind him.
"Uncle Liu, where is Shang Jin?" There was a hint of anxiety on her face, and she didn't want it to be what she thought it would be.
Seeing her so anxious, Uncle Liu knew what she was thinking. He could not help but ridicule: "Miss Jian Ning's hand is injured, young master is currently feeding her."
Seeing that Liu Yiwei's expression changed, he felt a wave of happiness in his heart, but on the surface, he looked worried: "I wonder when Miss Jian Ning's hands will recover, and how will he save my Young Master the need to worry so much."
Listening to Uncle Liu at the side, Qi Rui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing for!" Liu Yiwei angrily turned around and glared at Qi Rui, and she especially hated these two people.
Qi Rui glared at her, then arrogantly lifted her chin, arrogantly said: "This place isn't your home, so what if I laugh?"
Seeing that her face was getting worse, he knew in his heart that this kind of lifestyle wasn't something that could be found every day.
"You … "You all..." She looked at Uncle Liu and then at Qi Rui, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
But very quickly, Qi Rui retracted his laughter, looked at Liu Yiwei seriously, and warned him: "You saw it too, Shang Jin is not interested in you, if you know what's good for you, you should leave quickly."
"Young master Qi, I respect you for being Jin's friend. I'm only here to recuperate for a short period of time, so why did it become something else in your eyes?"
"Rest?" Qi Rui taunted: "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. It's best if you leave quickly, otherwise, I won't be polite."
He disdainfully glanced at Liu Yiwei, who was already starting to cry, and felt even more contempt.
"Cough cough — —" Uncle Liu coughed fakely, stopping Qi Rui from speaking any further. He apologized to Liu Yiwei in a low voice, "I hope that Miss Liu will not be too angry. He is only worried about young master and is afraid that young master has been deceived."
"Puff …"
Qi Rui silently gave Uncle Liu a thumbs up from behind. This Uncle Liu's words were even more vicious than his own.
He looked towards Liu Yiwei, and indeed, he saw that Liu Yiwei's face was pale and completely unsightly.
Liu Yiwei closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes once again, the innocence of the person before her had been restored.
"Young Master Qi, Uncle Liu, I don't know why you guys have such prejudice against me, but I just want to say that I'm just grateful to Jin. If he's with Jian Ning, I would also be happy to see him."
But they would never have the chance.
"Really?" Qi Rui asked suspiciously, as he still did not believe in Liu Yiwei this woman.
Liu Yiwei nodded very sincerely, both hands obediently placed in front of her, and said very seriously: "I am very grateful that Jin was able to accept me when I was in a difficult situation.
Uncle Liu felt that something was off. He looked at her warily. Seeing that she seemed to be very sincere, he always felt that something was off.
Just as the atmosphere downstairs became weird, Jian Ning pushed away the bowl in her hands and shook her head, indicating that she couldn't eat anymore.
Seeing that there was simply less food in the bowl, Shang Jin could not help but frown and ask: "Do you usually eat this kind of food as well?"
"I …" Jian Ning lifted his head and saw Shang Jin's slightly angered expression. He felt a little scared, so he simply lowered his head and didn't look at him.
This action only made Shang Jin even angrier. He forcefully put the bowl down, looked at Jian Ning and said: "Speak."
Jian Ning's body trembled, when she looked at Shang Jin, she was even more afraid, and even more wronged, her eyes filled with tears.
Seeing the tears circling in her eyes, Shang Jin's anger instantly disappeared and her entire body became gentle.
"I didn't mean that."
He helplessly sighed in his heart, facing Jian Ning, he did not have any more anger.
"I really can't eat anymore." She pouted and looked at him with a wronged expression as she spoke in a pitiful manner.
This time, Shang Jin's heart completely softened. He scratched Jian Ning's nose and helplessly said: "Alright, alright, alright. If you don't want to eat, then forget it."
He took the beeper from the head of the bed and told Uncle Liu to put the dishes away.
He stood up, caressed Jian Ning's smooth hair and said: "Qi Rui is here, do you want to meet him?"
"Qi Rui?" Jian Ning looked up suspiciously: "Do I know him?"
"..." He really regretted revealing this person's identity. "You've met him once."
She nodded as if she understood, but her mind still couldn't remember that person's appearance. This couldn't be blamed on her. Normally, she wouldn't remember people that didn't need to be remembered.
