Chapter 238: Chapter 237: My Brother Broke His Leg (3 updates)

Jin Ruiyang arrived at the first floor, his target being room 11, dismissing all other idle people, not looking at any of them.

Xu Niannian emerged from the restroom, holding her hurting foot, hopping on one foot across the floor, bouncing and jumping along.

Just as she hopped to the intersection, suddenly a figure darted by. Xu Niannian, already in mid-hop, watched with wide eyes as she was about to bounce onto someone else, hastily yelling, "Be careful."

Jin Ruiyang, with ears open to all directions, quickly turned around, trying to avoid her, but saw a figure about to fall—in fact, a woman.

Without hesitation, he scooped her up by the waist and pulled her back.

Xu Niannian thought she was going to fall, not expecting to be caught by someone.

She leaned forward into him, Jin Ruiyang catching her at the waist, Xu Niannian almost completely relying on his hands to keep her balance.

In his haste to see the beauty, Jin Ruiyang pulled her back quickly, forcing Xu Niannian to fall backward, her dark, silky hair swinging in an arc.

Finally, she stood up straight, and quickly thanked her rescuer, "Thank you."

The soft, tender voice made Jin Ruiyang pause for a moment, instinctively looking at the woman he’d just caught.

She wore a pure white shirt paired with a white skirt that reached her ankles, the shirt’s hem tucked into the skirt, accentuating her slender waist.

That waist was so fine that Jin Ruiyang felt he could easily circle it with his two hands.

Looking at her face, her brows were delicately arched, and her bright eyes and white teeth shone, her lips like smeared with vermilion, her skin like snow, fair and white.

She stood there, looking incredibly lively in front of him, her voice soft, innocent, and lost as she looked at him.

Suddenly, Jin Ruiyang felt as if his eyes had been violently struck by such stunning beauty.

As beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal.

She could bring nations to their knees with her charm.

All the wonderful words he could think of in his mind were insufficient to describe half the beauty of the girl before him.

As Jin Ruiyang gawked at Xu Niannian, she too was dazzled by his handsome appearance.

In him, Xu Niannian saw the embodiment of the dream lover she had once imagined.

Good figure, high aesthetic, refined and scholarly.

Beauty junkie Xu Niannian felt like she had been instantly poisoned, and if not for her rationality telling her to remain calm, she might have shamelessly rushed to make friends.

Although she already had that silly Jin Yu, it didn’t stop her from sometimes indulging in a little fantasy.

When meeting a handsome man, it was the common flaw of beauty junkies to want to drool.

She subconsciously touched her chin to make sure there was no drool.

Jin Ruiyang, meanwhile, subconsciously touched his nose, checking for a nosebleed.

He was certain that this was the especially beautiful girl the nurses had been talking about.

This wasn’t just ’especially beautiful’—she was stunningly beautiful.

Suddenly, Jin Ruiyang wasn’t curious or interested in Jin Yu’s wife at all, nor was he attracted to food anymore.

To him, the temptation of a gourmet dish couldn’t possibly compare to the allure of a beautiful woman.

Both had a multitude of thoughts in their hearts, yet it all happened in just three seconds.

Jin Ruiyang quickly regained his composure, withdrawing his hands like a gentleman, gently asking, "Are you alright?"

His voice was gentle and warm, like a refreshing breeze, making one feel comfortable and cool.

His voice was simply comparable to a god-tier voice actor, making Xu Niannian’s ears tingle with pleasure.

Internally scolding herself for an instant, she momentarily set aside Brother Jin from her mind and gave the handsome man before her a polite and warm smile, "I’m fine, thank you."

Jin Ruiyang, sharp-eyed, noticed Xu Niannian lifting one foot and asked softly, "Did you hurt your foot?"

"Mhm, I twisted it."

Jin Ruiyang thought, here is my chance.

Trying to contain the excitement in his heart, Jin Ruiyang smiled softly, "Do you need my help?"

He smiled at Xu Niannian, offering his hand.

Jin Ruiyang was adept at reading people, and he saw the look of adoration and almost fangirl-like gaze that Xu Niannian gave him, his ego nearly lifting him off the ground.

He thought she would certainly accept his friendly gesture.

But unexpectedly...

"Hehe, thank you, but no need, I can hop back on my own, goodbye."

Xu Niannian smiled at him, her lips curving in gentle refusal.

It’s okay to drool over a handsome man for a moment, but one shouldn’t really get carried away...

How could she betray her own silly Jin Yu?

Physical contact with a strange man, even a handsome one, didn’t feel right to her.

Even now, after being accidentally saved by him and having her waist touched, Xu Niannian still felt uncomfortable.

So Jin Ruiyang just watched, eyes wide open, as the beauty hopped away into the distance.

Watching her tall, beautiful figure retreat, Jin Ruiyang covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

Such a cute girl.

Pretty.

I wonder if I will have the chance to see her again in the future.

After watching her enter the ward, Jin Ruiyang turned and went upstairs.

After thinking it over, he came back, hesitated outside room 11, and whispered to the door, "I’m going to chase you."

The voice was very soft, and the person inside originally would not have heard it.

He planned to leave right after saying it, but unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth, the door opened.

It was the beauty he had met before who opened the door.

Jin Ruiyang’s sleazy smile almost got exposed, but thankfully, he quickly pushed up his glasses to cover it up.

His voice was so low that Xu Niannian naturally didn’t hear it.

However, she found his sudden appearance there especially weird.

She just had a weird illusion that the moment she opened the door, she actually felt a sleazy aura from the handsome guy in front of her.

When she looked up again, the refined gentleman, proud and elegant, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face, was indescribably handsome and gentle.

Xu Niannian was the first to break the silence, "What brings you here?"

Jin Ruiyang showed a look of surprise, "You’re also staying in this room?"

Xu Niannian nodded, and Jin Ruiyang quickly explained, "It’s like this, my friend had an accident, and he’s staying here; I came to visit him."

Xu Niannian didn’t suspect anything and stepped aside for him, "Then please come in."

There were only two patients inside; Xu Niannian thought it might be one of them.

Jin Ruiyang walked in.

After he entered, both patients asked Xu Niannian at the same time, "Young lady, your significant other is quite handsome."

Jin Ruiyang: "..."

Xu Niannian: "...Auntie, Grandma, he’s not my significant other."

Aside from her, there were only these two patients in the ward; obviously, neither of them knew him.

Xu Niannian’s suspicious gaze fell on Jin Ruiyang.

Jin Ruiyang immediately felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles; it was bad; he was planning to bluff his way through, but his plan had failed.

He naturally switched his expression, his brows slightly furrowed, even carrying a hint of worry, and he asked Xu Niannian, "Are there any other patients here?"

"No more," replied Xu Niannian.

Jin Ruiyang covered his head in annoyance, "Damn, I was still one step too late."

He sat silently on Xu Niannian’s bed, head drooping for a long time before he lifted it, his eyes bloodshot, his face showing an expression of extreme distress.

Seeing him like this, the last sliver of doubt in Xu Niannian’s heart also vanished.

She thought that someone very important to him must have been staying here before, but by the time he arrived, the person had gone.

She was about to offer some words of comfort.

He suddenly spoke up, "I have so many regrets."

Xu Niannian subconsciously probed, "Regrets about what?"

In just a second, Jin Ruiyang’s tears burst like a fountain, and the tough man began to cry as he said in pain, "I shouldn’t have left him here alone; I knew he would definitely escape."

Seeing his genuinely sorrowful appearance, Xu Niannian comforted him a bit, "Don’t cry; maybe the person just got better and was discharged."

"No, he wouldn’t have gotten better, nor could he have run away," Jin Ruiyang insisted with bloodshot eyes, "My brother, my own brother, his name is Jin Xiaoyu; he broke his leg six months ago and had to be amputated, resulting in hemiplegia."

When she heard the name Jin Xiaoyu, Xu Niannian was stunned for a moment; it was only one character different from Jin Yu.

But Jin Yu didn’t have a brother; he was the only child in his family.

When she heard about the leg fracture and the forced amputation, Xu Niannian was slightly perplexed.

Shouldn’t a broken leg be fixed, not amputated? And even with amputation, how did hemiplegia occur? Did the amputation cut through a nerve?

Before this thought settled, suddenly something very important came to her mind.

"Wait, stop crying for a second," Xu Niannian comforted him, "You said he’s your real brother, right?"

"Yes, do you know him?" asked Jin Ruiyang.

Xu Niannian replied, "This is a female ward... Are you sure you’re in the right place?"

Jin Ruiyang: "..."

Before he could process the thought, the beautiful nurse who had been there before came into the room and, seeing Jin Ruiyang not wearing the hospital’s sick wear but instead the clothes he had on when he entered the hospital, thought he was trying to run away and suddenly screamed.

Recalling what the other Mr. Jin had instructed when he had him sent to the hospital, she ran over anxiously and grabbed his sleeve, "Mr. Jin, why did you run out here? Your brother said not to let you roam about."

Jin Ruiyang: "..."

Xu Niannian: "..."
