Chapter 739: Chapter 737 Unrequited Love 9_1

As she spoke, tears welled up in Nianxia’s eyes again. She looked at her with distress, bending down with a gentle motion to tuck her into the blanket, "You little rascal, you better rest!"

Although she had scolded her harshly just a moment ago, deep down she cared for her more than anyone else. She did it out of worry for her.

"Sis..." Muxia gently rubbed against her hand, acting coyly.

"If I told you to rest, then rest! No more acting spoiled!" Nianxia touched her face and then sat next to her to keep watch.

She sat on the right side keeping watch, while Jiang Qingchen sat on the left side.

Seeing this, Muxia couldn’t help but move her little head, "Sis, Bro, you should go to class. Don’t delay your lessons because of me."

The studies at their school were very intense, with monthly exams, and weekly quizzes as well.

"It’s fine." Jiang Qingchen immediately refused, "I am familiar with all the subjects, and I have already asked for leave from the teacher. She agreed to let me stay here with you."

His class teacher was aware of his relationship with the Xia family, and given his excellent academic performance, she agreed without hesitation.

Nianxia looked at the two of them, and not knowing why, suddenly stood up, "Then I’ll go back to class. Jiang Qingchen, please take care of my sister."

Compared to Xu Zeming, she would rather have her sister be with Jiang Qingchen.

And if she wasn’t mistaken, this fainting incident of her sister’s was probably not unrelated to Xu Zeming!

Although it was very likely self-inflicted by her sister... even so, she didn’t want her sister to keep fawning over Xu Zeming anymore.

She hoped her sister would soon see Jiang Qingchen’s good qualities and choose someone new to admire.

Jiang Qingchen nodded seriously, "I will, don’t worry about it."

Nianxia knew how much Jiang Qingchen cherished her sister, so she naturally trusted him, and before leaving, she waved at Muxia, "Muxia, I’m leaving now. I’ll come to see you after class."

"Mhm!" Muxia responded.

After she left, only the two of them remained in the infirmary.

Muxia poked her little head out from the blanket, and with a hint of trepidation asked, "Jiang Qingchen, did you tell my parents about this?"

If her parents found out, they would surely scold her together.

They might even put an end to any budding romantic thoughts she had.

The more Muxia thought, the more she despaired... It was over...

Jiang Qingchen snorted softly, comforting her, "I was going to tell them, but Nianxia and I were afraid you would get a scolding, so we didn’t."

Muxia breathed a huge sigh of relief, "Thank you both so much. Otherwise, my parents would definitely have given me a hard time."

"Have you learned your lesson? Will you continue to stay up all night or pull all-nighters?" Jiang Qingchen moved closer to her, looking down at her.

Getting herself into such a state over some guy, how foolish!

"No, no, no, of course not!" Muxia shook her head vigorously, "Not to mention how unbearable it is to stay up all night, it’s also made you worry. I won’t dare to do it again."

Jiang Qingchen snorted, "As long as you know, that’s good. Now, stop talking and go to sleep right away."

After staying up all night, if she didn’t rest properly, her body simply wouldn’t be able to take it.

"I’ll sleep now!" Muxia moved back under the covers.

Having not slept the whole night, even though she had some sleep after fainting, her body still hadn’t returned to a normal state, feeling exhausted.

Thus, Muxia quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Qingchen sat on the chair next to her, eyebrows downturned, quietly watching her.

She was inherently sweet and innocent-looking, like a rabbit covered all over in pure white.

Now that she was asleep, her eyes peacefully closed, she appeared even more endearing.

Jiang Qingchen’s gaze grew increasingly tender, and he couldn’t help but reach out to stroke her head, but fearing that he might wake her, he cautiously retracted his hand midway.

Forget it, he’d rather just quietly watch her.

That alone was enough to satisfy him.

After watching the girl for a while, Jiang Qingchen glanced down at his watch.

A few more minutes, and class would be over.

The bell would wake her...

Jiang Qingchen frowned and waited until the final minute when he rose from his chair and, bending over, cupped his hands over the girl’s ears.

Her ears were tiny; a third of his palm could cover them completely.

Fearing he might startle her, Jiang Qingchen’s movements were exceptionally cautious.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Jiang Qingchen winced and kept his eyes on the girl, anxious that the noise would disturb her rest.

Fortunately, even after the bell stopped, there was no sign of her waking up.

"Muxia!" Just as Jiang Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Zeming’s voice came from outside, loud and clear.

Jiang Qingchen distinctly felt the girl stir.

His face darkened, and he fixed a cold, knife-like glare on the culprit entering the room, "What are you doing here?"

Just thinking that Muxia had fainted because she stayed up all night helping him with his speech made Jiang Qingchen grind his molars, almost overwhelmed by the urge to strangle him.

Xu Zeming touched his nose, looking somewhat sheepish, "I came to check on Muxia."

She likely fainted while helping him, so by all rights, he should visit her.

Having said that, Xu Zeming stared at the girl lying in the hospital bed.

Her complexion was extremely pale.

Her skin was already fair, but now, with her illness, she looked almost translucent and pitifully delicate.

Her brows were tinged with exhaustion, and the areas around her eyes were faintly darkened with circles.

Her eyelashes trembled, as though she was about to wake up.

Seeing her frailty, Xu Zeming felt an uncomfortable twist in his heart, his brows furrowing tighter.

Seizing the moment before Muxia fully came to, Jiang Qingchen quickly ordered Xu out, lest the girl’s heart flutter again, "You’ve seen her, now get out."

Xu Zeming sighed and was about to put down what he was holding when Muxia awoke, "Xu, you’re here?"

The moment she saw him, her eyes clearly brightened, shining more brilliantly than the moon and filled with surprised joy, as her pale lips uncontrollably lifted into a smile.

A twinge of sourness hit Jiang Qingchen’s heart, why was she so excited to see this guy!

Xu Zeming immediately strode over to her, asking with concern, "Muxia, how are you feeling?"

"I’m already fine," she quickly assured him, not wanting him to worry.

Xu Zeming’s brows still showed his concern. After a brief glance at Jiang Qingchen, he whispered into her ear, "Tell me the truth, did you faint because you didn’t rest well after writing the speech for me?"

"How could that be, of course not, don’t overthink it, senior. I finished the speech in less than half an hour. The reason I stayed up late was that I lost track of time reading books," Muxia, not wanting him to feel guilty, naturally couldn’t tell him the truth.
