Chapter 1197: Chapter 912: Little Star Side Story (5)

Little Star felt that since they had helped him so much, he should properly thank them.

Who would have thought, just as he hadn’t figured it out, he bumped into You Jingyi right after stepping out the door.

"Are you feeling better? You seemed really off last night."

"Much better, thanks to you... and your help with the questions. Thank you."

Jingyi smiled slightly and said, "It’s nothing. We’re from the same hometown, it’s not easy being alone far from home, so we should look out for each other."

"Either way, I still want to thank you. How about this, tomorrow is Sunday, why don’t you bring Shang Ou to my place, and I’ll cook a nice meal for you both."

"Okay," Jingyi replied with a gentle smile, secretly very happy inside.

In the morning, Little Star drank a lot of water before going to class, took medicine at noon, and after afternoon classes, took more medicine and rested. Not knowing how long he slept, he felt like someone was knocking on his door.

Groggily sitting up and staring blankly for a while, he got up to open the door. Ever cautious, he looked through the peephole but saw no one, furrowing his brow. He thought it might be a prank.

Just as she was wondering, someone appeared outside her living room window, "Xingxing, are you there? Xingxing?"

Little Star rubbed her eyes and responded to the window, "Here."

Seeing her dazed at the door, Jingyi hurried over, and Little Star quickly opened the door for him. "Jingyi, did you need something?"

Jingyi had knocked for a long time without a response, fearing she had fainted again. He was worried and sweating, but remained calm as he stood in front of Little Star. "Cough... I heard you were sick. I was worried you hadn’t eaten, so I brought you some food. You don’t look well."

"Oh... I’m okay now, just drowsy from the medicine. I just fell asleep, that’s all. Thank you for your concern."

Jingyi smiled slightly, nodding, then handed her the food he had brought. "You haven’t eaten yet, right? Have some to hold you over, and remember to take your medicine after. I’ll head back now."

After handing the food to Little Star, Jingyi left.

Little Star looked down at the specially prepared meal in her hands. It was clear he had put a lot of thought into it.

After eating, Little Star watched some TV. At around ten, she took her medicine again and then went to bed. Next door at You Jingyi’s house, he only left the window when he saw the light in her room go out, and then returned to his own tasks.

He didn’t know why, but he kept glancing toward her room. Perhaps he really did have feelings for this girl.

Yet he didn’t really know her.

After returning to his bedroom, Jingyi received a call from home. "Son, I’ve taken care of Miss Wang for you. She’s gone to study abroad in H Country. Don’t worry, there are plenty of handsome guys over there. Over the years, she’ll surely find someone else. You focus on your studies there. If you encounter any problems, let Mom know, don’t handle it all by yourself, okay?"

"Mom, thank you. I’m doing well here, you and Dad don’t need to worry."

"Of course your mom trusts you. You’re about to graduate, right? Your dad has a new project starting, you can come back and learn with him, and maybe take over soon. That way, your dad won’t be so busy."

"Mom, I don’t want to go back to the company yet. I want to find a regular job first to get a feel for the work environment."

"With the size of our family business, you don’t need to work for others. And, you’re not that young anymore. Keep an eye out; I know you have high standards. You weren’t interested in Miss Wang. Not that only you weren’t interested; I didn’t fancy her either. But beyond Miss Wang, keep your eyes open. If you find someone you like, start dating them. These days are good times, unlike when your dad and I were always fixed up. Humph, when your dad and I met, the matchmaker suggested we go for a walk, but he acted all high and mighty, sending his little brother with me instead. I was so mad I didn’t want to go."

Jingyi chuckled, having heard these embarrassing anecdotes countless times, "But in the end, Mom, didn’t you still choose Dad?"

"Wasn’t it because he’s handsome? Remember, all the men in the You Family are good-looking, that’s your asset. Girls are lining up for you, just like that Wang girl was. But being handsome doesn’t mean you can do stupid things. Our family doesn’t allow it, understood?"
