Chapter 763

~4 min read 631 words

Jiang Nannan was startled, "You... have time?"

It seemed she hadn't misjudged the situation.

The two people before her were undoubtedly a mutual match. Shu Xia was something else; she could make Qiao Muting willingly stay the night, come to deliver lunch, and not want anyone to disturb their world for two.

If anyone said there were no feelings involved, she would let them gouge her eyeballs out to play with like glass marbles.

"I do," Qiao Muting said, concise and to the point.

It was as if speaking two extra words to someone would cost him his life, perfectly embodying the four words "cold and heartless."

Fortunately, Jiang Nannan had very strong mental fortitude.

Plus, Jiang Nannan had some understanding of Qiao Muting, having gossiped about him from Huo Jingyan in the past.

Shu Xia spoke up at the right moment, "I'm much better now. I don't need anyone to stay with me at night. You should both go home and get some rest. If I need anything, I'll call a nurse to help."

She was only injured; she could move her hands and feet, so taking care of herself was no problem.

As soon as she finished speaking, she met the gaze Qiao Muting swept toward her.

Their eyes met, and Shu Xia's gaze flickered, subconsciously looking away.

Qiao Muting didn't speak again.

Watching the invisible, lingering tension between the two, Jiang Nannan felt like she was already full. She put down her chopsticks, pretended to check her phone, and said, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I'll go get busy first. You two take your time eating lunch."

After saying that, she grabbed her bag from the side and hurried away.

When she closed the hospital room door, she winked at Shu Xia.

Her precious friend was truly amazing; while others couldn't touch Qiao Muting's heart, her precious friend had it firmly in her grasp!

Only the two of them were left in the hospital room.

After Qiao Muting set out the lunch, he asked Shu Xia, "Are you full from just now?"

"Not full," Shu Xia said truthfully.

She and Jiang Nannan hadn't eaten more than a few bites before he arrived.

She recalled what Jiang Nannan had told her before, saying that Qiao Muting was someone who could give a person an appetite but also make them lose it very quickly.

Qiao Muting's face was enough to make one drool.

But his aura, which could freeze three feet of ice, made people completely afraid to act out, let alone chew their food; it would simply cause indigestion.

At the time she heard Jiang Nannan describe Qiao Muting, she didn't know him yet, so she thought that anyone who could make Jiang Nannan lose her appetite must be no ordinary person.

Now, seeing Jiang Nannan not even finish her meal and run away, she reminisced while holding back a laugh.

Actually, Qiao Muting wasn't that scary.

After spending time together, one would understand him.

While she was reminiscing and holding back her laughter, she didn't notice Qiao Muting sitting down beside her.

The next second.

Qiao Muting's lips covered hers.

His hand rested on her head, giving her no room to retreat.

The lingering, intertwined kiss lasted for a long time.

The nurse came on schedule to change Shu Xia's dressing.

"Ms. Shu, time to change your dressing."

When she pushed open the hospital room door, she was caught off guard by the display of affection before her. She immediately blushed, flustered as she backed away, saying, "I didn't see anything, please continue, I'll come back in half an hour, please continue..."

Holy cow!

A movie scene playing out in reality.

The two of them were even more pleasing to the eye than movie stars.
