Qiao Nuo stepped out of the shower, wrapped in a large bath towel, the tie securely fastened around her waist. She had just looked in the mirror and noticed her cheeks were quite swollen. If she went back now, Qiao Chen would definitely question her, so she decided to step out and call him instead, to prevent him from worrying.
There was a phone in the living room, and Qiao Nuo dialed Qiao Chen's number.
When Qiao Chen received the unfamiliar call and realized it was his sister, he was surprised, although he knew her phone had been stolen mysteriously.
"Xiao Chen, I have to work late at the company today. I'll go directly to the hospital tomorrow; you don't need to wait for me."
"Why does your company keep making you work so late? Can your body handle it? I've told you that I can work and earn money too..."
"This is non-negotiable. I'm already in touch with the school for you; you'll be able to start classes in a few days!" There was no room for discussion on this matter.
Qiao Chen mumbled a few words on the other end before reluctantly hanging up.
Qiao Nuo set down the phone with a sigh. In truth, she hadn’t managed to get Qiao Chen into school. How could a high school senior easily enroll in a public school? Right now, she didn’t have the money for a private school either, and the parents of the classmates who had been bullied were adamant about reporting Qiao Chen, insisting that since he was already eighteen, he should face legal consequences.
Hearing this made Qiao Nuo want to slap that classmate's mother. Of course, those were just thoughts; if she really did it, they might end up being sued together.
"Here you go." Suddenly, a box was handed to Qiao Nuo, pulling her back from her thoughts.
"Huh?" She looked up at Jin Chengyan, who was still dressed in his suit and seemed like he had no intention of staying.
Seeing that Qiao Nuo had no intention of responding, Jin Chengyan directly placed the box on her lap and sat down on the sofa beside her. "Throwing your phone into the toilet that day was my way of making amends."
Qiao Nuo recalled her phone being tossed into the toilet and felt a pang of heartache. But soon, she remembered why her phone had ended up there in the first place.
She secretly glanced up at Jin Chengyan, who was sitting diagonally across from her. Although it was just a fleeting glance that day, he truly had an impressive physique.
"If you want to look, just look openly. Sneaking peeks isn't very comfortable, is it?" He caught her off guard.
Qiao Nuo immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, focusing on the box in her lap.
"Haha," Jin Chengyan chuckled. He seemed particularly delighted to tease Qiao Nuo; seeing her flustered made him very happy.
Qiao Nuo shifted her attention to the box. It was a simple packaging, but when she opened it, she was momentarily stunned.
It wasn't that she had never seen anything luxurious before; it was just that the phone Jin Chengyan had given her was an Apple, which many young people used. However, what set it apart was the ring of... crystals? No, diamonds!
It truly dazzled Qiao Nuo's eyes.
With a hint of hopefulness, she said, "This crystal case is really shiny, but it's just too flashy for me..."
Jin Chengyan didn't point out her comment and replied, "I heard girls like shiny things, but I think sending just one or two isn't very sincere. I've already put the SIM card in for you; my private number is set as the first speed dial, so you can reach me anytime."
Why did he set his number as the first speed dial? Why did he put the SIM card in? How did he even get that card?
"You took the phone out of the toilet..." This was the only way Qiao Nuo could think of for Jin Chengyan to have gotten that card.
In that moment, Jin Chengyan's expression was slightly delayed, an experience he had never encountered before.
Then he said, "Qiao Nuo, it's really hard for normal people to keep up with your train of thought."
Qiao Nuo: "..." She just thought of it naturally...
"Come here, I'll apply some medicine for you." He fixed his gaze on the red spot on her face and quickly changed the subject.
