Chapter 756: Got into a Dispute with Brother Yan

Nan Jiaojiao had been sick for two days, consistently taking the medicine Bo Yanching had found for her, but she wasn’t sure if it was the right medicine, as her cold seemed to get worse instead of better.

Her nose felt like it was sealed with cement, and even gentle breathing could bring tears to her eyes.

She couldn’t bear it anymore and went to the clinic at the hospital.

While waiting for her medication, she took out her phone to play a game of Sudoku.

When it was her turn, she stood at the window waiting for the doctor to prepare her medicine, when suddenly a hand reached over and took the bag of medicine from her.

“Got a cold?” Yaen Chi glanced at the two types of medicine.

Nan Jiaojiao instinctively wanted to say “mmm-hmm,” but since she couldn’t breathe through her nose, she said “ah” with her mouth instead.

“It seems quite severe.

Your nose is blocked, and your throat is hoarse.

Does Brother Yan know about it?”

“Ah.” Nan Jiaojiao, wrapped in her coat, followed him out of the queue.

Yaen Chi chuckled, “Having a disagreement with Brother Yan?”

“A little bit.”

It was crowded in the hospital.

As a family of three hurried towards them, Yaen Chi sidestepped, blocking them briefly while pulling her by the sleeve to step aside, the hand holding the medicine bag tucked behind him.

“No wonder.

These past two days he’s been almost drowning himself in alcohol, holding something back and unable to be soothed by anyone.

I wanted to call you, but he wouldn’t allow it.

However, I asked Wanting about you and heard you hadn’t been to school for two days.

That night, he didn’t speak another word.”

Nan Jiaojiao listened quietly, not uttering a word.

Yaen Chi decided not to mention it anymore.

Upon leaving the hospital, Yaen Chi insisted on escorting her, finding out that she came by cab.

“Where to?”

Nan Jiaojiao looked out the window, “Back home.”

“Alright.”

Yaen Chi set up the navigation, and as they were nearing Feisheng, he asked again, “Haven’t had lunch yet, have you?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes moved slightly as if giving him a quick glance.

“Don’t be polite with me.

Even if there’s something going on between you and Brother Yan, I wouldn’t pretend not to know you.

After all, you still call me ‘brother’.”

“Let’s have noodles,” Nan Jiaojiao said with a faint smile, her voice hoarse and breathy, “There’s a place nearby with really good crab roe noodles.”

“You lead the way, take me there.”

There weren’t many people in the restaurant at that time, and the environment was serene.

It had a courtyard-style decor, and Nan Jiaojiao headed straight for a two-seater hidden among the bamboo, probably a spot she frequented.

She ordered a bowl of crab roe noodles, and Yaen Chi ordered the same.

As the noodles were served, Nan Jiaojiao mixed them thoroughly and was just about to eat when Yaen Chi took out his phone, “Hold on, let me take a photo to report to Yin Tao.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t move.

Yaen Chi deliberately chose an angle that captured her hands resting on the table and the cold medicine beside her clearly.

“Done,” he chuckled, “Young girls like this stuff, always wanting to know what I eat for each meal.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, picked a couple of noodles, and ate quietly.

Yaen Chi looked at her a few times, then posted the photo to his social media, specifically setting it so Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t see it.

In less than a minute, the comments were full of concern and teasing.

Many thought he had a new girlfriend.

Only Huo Linxi commented, “Is that Jiaojiao?

There’s fever medicine in the bag; she got a cold, huh?”

Yaen Chi’s lips curled slightly, replying only to Huo Linxi, “Ah, yes, it’s pretty serious.

The poor girl has no energy, feeling dizzy even just walking a few steps.”

After responding, he placed his phone face down on the table.

Mr.

Bo surely saw that, just waiting to see how long he could hold out.
