Chapter 58 (Part 1)

“It’s exactly what you think.”

20 minutes later, Fu Yangxi raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly.

He arrogantly held Zhao Mingxi's hand in front of the three of them and deliberately waved their entwined hands at them to let them see clearly.

Had it not been for the broken leg, he would have been able to stretch the two clasped hands in front of the pupils of Jiang Xiuqiu and Ke Chengwen.

As soon as Zhao Mingxi liked him, he became proud again. The little bird on his shoulders was so energetic that he completely forgot who was crying while washing his hair before.

Although Ke Chengwen and He Yang were shocked, they felt that they should have known a long time ago.

The two felt a mix of emotions for a while.

He Yang thought that her best friend was already so in love, she might abandon her in the future, so she gave Zhao Mingxi a sad look.

Mingxi felt heat on her cheeks.

Ke Chengwen glanced at Zhao Mingxi distrustfully, still a little worried about her— Is she sure she really likes Xi ge? Will she make Xi ge go through a second round of disappointment?

However, on this occasion, it was not convenient for both Ke Chengwen and He Yang to say anything disappointing.

He Yang murmured, “I should have guessed it a long time ago. When Zhao Mingxi chats with me, Fu Yangxi would be mentioned with every three sentences—”

Before she could finish speaking, Mingxi rushed over and covered her mouth.

Mingxi also had a reputation to uphold, okay?!

She gestured to He Yang frantically with her eyes: Is it appropriate to say this in front of so many people?!

"Tsk, I knew it." Fu Yangxi's ears were red and the corners of her mouth were upturned to the sky.

He wanted He Yang to say a few more words.

He didn't know when Little Mask fell in love with him. Anyway, she definitely didn't like him during the time she lived in his house. When she went to eat with Shen Liyao and the Dong family, she definitely didn't like him.

When did she fall in love with me??

Was it just a random moment?

Once Fu Yangxi knew what this moment was, he might repeat it thousands of times in front of Zhao Mingxi!

He pretended not to care at all, but in fact he looked at Zhao Mingxi eagerly, expecting He Yang to reveal a few more words, but Zhao Mingxi stopped He Yang before she finished speaking.

His heart felt as if there were a hundred claws scratching at it, but it was not easy to directly show that he wanted to hear more.

Ke Chengwen, He Yang and Jiang Xiuqiu respectively gave them looks saying, ‘Xi ge, you actually got Zhao Mingxi', 'Zhao Mingxi, you actually got Fu Yangxi', 'I was annoyed by how long you guys took’, making Mingxi feel a little uncomfortable.

She changed the subject with a hot face. “Don't just stand here and stare at us. You guys wanna eat some fruit? Are grapes okay? I'll go wash some.”

When Fu Yangxi saw her walking away, he was not very happy. He stared closely at her and held her hands tightly. “Don't wash it for them.”

The three of them: “...”

Fu Yangxi was clearly upset as he continued, “It’s too cold to wash fruits with cold water in the winter.”

Ke Chengwen couldn't help saying, “Xi ge, this is the VIP ward!”

Please, how can there be no hot water in the toilet of the VIP ward?!

Fu Yangxi glared at Ke Chengwen and Jiang Xiuqiu. “Why do you two boys want other girls to wash fruits for you? You don't know how to wash it yourself?! Do you have broken bones like me?”

Ke Chengwen cried speechlessly, “Forget it, I'll go and wash them. Zhao Mingxi, please stay here.”

Ke Chengwen went to the bathroom with the bag of fruits. Fu Yangxi watched him go in, then turned to ask Zhao Mingxi, “What else do you want to eat? Let him wash more.”

Mingxi: “...”

Ke Chengwen and the other two: “...”

Goodbye!

Our eyes have been blinded!

We don’t want to stay for even another minute!

Before Xiao Li bought the food, Ke Chengwen and the others were urged by Fu Yangxi to leave. The reason he gave was that he did not buy their lunch. If they didn’t want to be hungry, they could only get food by themselves.

The three of them were only planning to pay a brief visit. Except for Ke Chengwen, they didn't plan to stay long, so they packed up the snack bags they had eaten and planned to leave.

In the end, when they opened the door of the ward and left, they saw Xiao Li panting while carrying up a box of more than a dozen packing boxes.

The three of them: “...”

This was what he f*cking meant when he said he didn’t get us lunch?

This is enough to feed 10 people!

Goodbye!

The three of them were sick of the couple’s shenanigans and said their final goodbyes.

After lunch, Mingxi opened her school bag, took out a set of problems and did her homework on the coffee table.

After all, writing here was the same as writing in the library, and the heating here was more adequate.

Fu Yangxi pretended to take a book, but his mind was completely off the story book. He wanted to be closer to Zhao Mingxi. Who arranged the layout of this ward? Why is the coffee table several meters away from the bed?!

Despite the distance of four or five meters, Mingxi could feel that he was looking at her quietly, so she looked up abruptly.

However, all she saw was Fu Yangxi immediately withdrawing his gaze, his face flushed red as he continued to stare at the story book.

Mingxi couldn't help laughing. “Feel free to look all you want.”

Besides, now you can look at me openly, so why are you still acting so sneaky?

Fu Yangxi would rather die than admit it. His eyes were still on the storybook, seeming to be extremely focused.

He snorted and didn't lift up his flushed handsome face. “Of course I can look as much as I want. You’re already mine, so why should I take a peek? I wasn’t peeking— But rather you, Little Mask, don’t bother me while I’m reading.”

Mingxi asked, “Then what's the book you’re reading talking about?”

Fu Yangxi: “...”

Fu Yangxi was speechless. He frantically glanced at the content in front of him. “It’s talking about—”

Before he finished speaking, Mingxi moved the small bench to the bed, took her pencil case, exercise book, and calculator, and lifted a corner of the quilt on the side of Fu Yangxi’s bed. “I’ll complete my homework here.”

Fu Yangxi asked, “Don't you want to write on the coffee table?”

Mingxi glanced at him, restraining the heat on her face. “It's too far.”

Fu Yangxi: “...”

Fu Yangxi's ears silently turned red.

Classes were going to start the next day, so that evening, Mingxi had to be sent back to school by Xiao Li.

Fortunately, Fu Yangxi's fracture was not serious, and there was no obvious displacement. After being fixed with a plaster, he could be discharged from the hospital in three days. During the next 40 days of recovery, crutches or wheelchairs will do, and he could go to school as usual.

Mingxi thought that Fu Yangxi was a really interesting person. When she left, he clearly wanted to say something, staring at her eagerly with his face full of ‘When will you come to see me? Will you still like me when you come again?’ when he obviously wanted her to visit him after school on the second and third day.

But what he said was all kinds of, “You don't have to come, Little Mask. I will go to school in three days. You can only stay for a while after school anyways, and this will delay your studies.”

Mingxi didn't want to hear him continue nagging, so she said directly, “Shut up, I want to come.”

Fu Yangxi turned and smiled shamelessly, looking satisfied.

…

To be honest, Mingxi still found it surreal that they were now officially dating. The adrenaline rush of that morning did not dissipate from her mind.

Every minute and second she saw Fu Yangxi, her heart felt sore and itchy, with small desires breaking the ground.

What she said was bold, for example words like "I want to kiss you".

But in fact, Zhao Mingxi was hesitant to act in this regard.

Because they were too shy, she only kissed the corners of his mouth.

She was content with just that.

Like a dragonfly landing on calm waters.

She couldn’t even fully feel what it was like and they had to separate after just a touch of electricity.

Mingxi was a little upset.

However, this gentle kiss was of great significance to her potted plants— After all, it was the first kiss between her and Fu Yangxi.

A tree grew immediately in the pot.

It soared directly to 425 buds.

Four months ago, she was still shakily freeloading on the luck from Fu Yangxi, fearing that the red-haired school tyrant would beat her. Mingxi absolutely never expected her progress to go so smoothly.

In fact, before the end of this winter, she was about to get rid of her female side character’s destiny completely.

*

The next day was Monday, and the whole building learned about Fu Yangxi's fracture.

The kids in the International Class discussed whether to buy some flowers for him. Meanwhile, the people in the other two classes were running wild with joy. He broke his bone just like that?

Some people in the Evergreen class rushed to tell each other and even couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was well known that Fu Yangxi had been acting like a tyrant in school for a long time. When everyone saw him, they basically took a detour. They didn't dare to touch even one strand of his hair. Even if it was a fight, someone else would be injured. He has never suffered any injuries! And now, he broke his own leg.

The Evergreen Class immediately became arrogant.

But since Fu Yangxi is not there, the followers in the International Class have no confidence to speak. Like frosted eggplants, they tried to avoid the people in the Evergreen Class.

Pu Shuang also took advantage of Fu Yangxi's absence and the fact that she didn't need to be at the receiving end of his glare, and came to find Zhao Mingxi again.

In just a few days, Pu Shuang's complexion was obviously much worse than before and she seemed a bit silent.

Although she and Zhao Mingxi made a bet which would end up with one of them dropping out, Zhao Mingxi didn't really let her drop out, so the story came to an end just like that. However, because of Zhao Yuan's involvement, she would inevitably encounter some discussion behind her back in the class.

When these remarks fell into her ears, it felt as uncomfortable as a heartbreak. She was not as thick-faced as E Xiaoxia, so she cried several times in private.

During the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, she saw Zhao Mingxi standing in the front row. Only then did she remember that she had bought Zhao Mingxi a new school bag that was exactly the same as hers. However, the last time she apologized, she was so emotional that she forgot to give it to Zhao Mingxi.

So Pu Shuang came again.

"Please take it back." Mingxi still didn't accept the new schoolbag.

It wasn't because she wanted to embarrass her on purpose.

It was just that after Mingxi washed the school bag that Pu Shuang threw into the trash can on the night of the training camp, there were no oil stains left and it was clean, just like a new one.

In addition, there was still half a year left of high school, and Fu Yangxi was the one who gave her this school bag, so Mingxi felt that there was no need to change it.

Mingxi said, “I’ve already cleaned mine, so there’s no need to change it.”

Pu Shuang's face went pale. She had no choice but to take the school bag back again.

After that, she never came to find Zhao Mingxi again.
