Chapter 89: Thanks for the Bed, Love You

Watching the admiration inadvertently reveal itself on Dong Shu's face as she spoke of her sweetheart, Zhu Yuan also curled the corners of her lips, "If it's Saturday, then since today is only Thursday, you can prepare well."

Zhu Yuan pulled her in front of the mirror.

"So I'm actually a little taller than you." Dong Shu looked at Zhu Yuan in the mirror and raised her hand to compare, "I'm one meter seventy, what about you?"

Zhu Yuan said stubbornly, "I'm one meter sixty-eight point seven."

"Pfft!" Dong Shu couldn't help but laugh, "Who measures their height down to the decimal point? What can that extra zero-point-something do?"

"It can save face," Zhu Yuan said with a straight face.

Dong Shu was thoroughly amused by her; the two of them chatted and laughed while picking through rows of clothes.

Zhu Yuan touched her neat short hair, pondered for a few seconds, and then clapped her hands, "Your collarbone and shoulder-neck line are very beautiful, suitable for an off-the-shoulder style. Paired with short hair like yours and accessorized with earrings, it will definitely be very beautiful."

"Really?" Dong Shu took an off-the-shoulder dress and held it up in front of the mirror, "It does seem nice."

Zhu Yuan took the dress from her hands, "This color isn't good, gray is too dark. You're going to confess, so wear something brighter and more radiant, stun your crush to death!"

A blush spread across Dong Shu's spirited face, and she hurriedly covered Zhu Yuan's mouth, "What crush, don't talk nonsense. He doesn't even know I like him; I have never revealed it to anyone, no one knows."

"So mysterious, and so cautious, is he very fierce?" Zhu Yuan asked.

Dong Shu took the blue dress Zhu Yuan handed her and said, "I can't say he's very fierce. He just doesn't like to smile, has a sharp tongue, and looks very cold."

Zhu Yuan understood; that meant fierce.

Speaking of this, Dong Shu suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, "By the way, are you and Second Master Pei really like the rumors outside?"

"No, not at all, impossible," Zhu Yuan denied three times in a row.

"I saw the video of Second Master Pei standing up for you when Ning Chu was giving you a hard time in the dressing room that day; you're saying there's nothing going on?"

Zhu Yuan had a helpless expression, "He did it on purpose, it wasn't real. He wouldn't like me even if he liked a wolf."

"Is that so?" Dong Shu was half-believing, "But seeing him make Ning Chu look bad was truly satisfying."

"You seem to really dislike her."

Dong Shu sneered, "Yeah, I hate her, I hate both of those Ning Family sisters."

"You don't know, that day at Yuan Fengye's birthday party, we were playing dice on the cruise ship, and the bet was to vote for you or Ning Chu. I originally thought Yuan Fengye would definitely lose to Yu Ge, and then we would all have to vote for Ning Chu. I was so angry I wanted to jump into the sea, but do you know what happened later?"

Zhu Yuan's heart gave a violent thud against her ribs; she hadn't known about this incident at all.

Before she could even shake her head, Dong Shu couldn't wait to share it with her, "It turned out Yu Ge lost! Best of five, he lost three games in a row to Yuan Fengye. In the end, everyone on the ship, including friends and family, all voted for you."

Dong Shu didn't notice the momentary stunned look on Zhu Yuan's face and continued to talk to herself, "Although I didn't want to see Yu Ge lose, I was so happy to see you win against Ning Chu."

Zhu Yuan pretended to be helping her pick out clothes to hide her flustered expression, "So that's how it was."

She remembered Lu Huaizhan saying that Sheng Yu's card skills had no rivals in their circle; losing once or twice didn't mean anything, but losing in a row—was he doing it on purpose?

After picking out clothes for Dong Shu and finalizing her makeup, Dong Shu sent a driver to take Zhu Yuan back.

Just as she arrived at the hospital, Zhu Yuan received a call from Sheng Yu.

He was in Country M, and there was a twelve-hour time difference from the country.

"What are you doing?" the man's cold voice came through.

This call, which felt like a check-up, made Zhu Yuan tighten her grip on her phone involuntarily. She walked into the small garden downstairs of the inpatient building and sat down on a bench, "Just got back to the hospital."

"Don't you have a performance tonight?"

Zhu Yuan didn't reveal Dong Shu's little secret, but instead said, "Went to eat with Dong Shu."

"Alone?" The man's voice was suppressed with a hint of displeasure.

Zhu Yuan guessed what he was minding, and quickly said, "She's a girl!"

The person on the other end of the phone let out a cold snort.

Thinking about how before they parted yesterday, Sheng Yu said he would consider helping her save her brother, and she couldn't easily make him angry now, Zhu Yuan's voice softened, "Aren't you busy?"

"If I were busy, would I have time to call you?" the man retorted.

Zhu Yuan said "Oh," "Then have you had breakfast?"

"What time is it?"

Zhu Yuan was snapped back by his words, and she didn't know how to continue asking.

"Zhu Yuan."

The man suddenly called her name.

Zhu Yuan said "Mm."

Her voice sounded soft and obedient, and the man's voice also lowered a bit, "Do you know what day Saturday is?"

Saturday...

Why is it Saturday again.

Zhu Yuan took the phone away, opened the calendar, glanced at the date, and then answered him, "It's Singles' Day."

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, and then a busy tone sounded.

Sheng Yu had hung up.

Zhu Yuan frowned with a headache; was he angry again?

But isn't November 11th just Singles' Day?

It couldn't be a promotional day for some shopping platform, right? Someone with Sheng Yu's status shouldn't pay attention to that.

Zhu Yuan got up and walked toward the inpatient building. When she stepped into the elevator, a flash of inspiration suddenly hit her. She hurriedly took out her phone, opened the browser, and entered Sheng Yu's name.

Sheng Yu

Male

Height: 190

Birthday: November 11th

So the day after tomorrow is his birthday.

Zhu Yuan suddenly realized, he really was a Scorpio!

But what did he mean by suddenly reminding her what day Saturday was?

Returning to the hospital room, Zhu Yuan discovered there was an extra bed, separated from Grandfather's hospital bed by a curtain, and the folding bed she had originally slept on was placed in the corner.

The nurse told her, "Miss Zhu, this way you can sleep more comfortably."

The hospital certainly wouldn't treat her so well; Zhu Yuan pulled the nurse to a corner and asked, "Can you tell me who arranged this?"

"It was a gentleman with the surname Si."

After washing up, Zhu Yuan lay on the bed, thinking it over, and took out her phone; just as she opened WeChat, she remembered she hadn't added Sheng Yu on WeChat yet, so she exited and composed a text message.

【Thank you.】

She quickly deleted it; such dry words seemed insincere, and if she wasn't careful, he might get angry again.

Zhu Yuan hesitated for a few seconds and re-edited: 【Thank you for arranging the bed for me, it's very comfortable to sleep in.】

That wasn't right either.

That sounded strange.

Zhu Yuan had a headache.

She was usually eloquent; why was her brain so sluggish tonight that she couldn't even get a single sentence right?

She agonized for a good while, and the more she thought, the sleepier she became; her fingers tapped randomly on the screen, and without knowing what she had pressed, she fell asleep.

Waking up the next day, she tapped her phone to check the time, only to see that Sheng Yu had sent her a question mark in the early hours of the morning.

Zhu Yuan was stunned, and suddenly thinking of something, she hurriedly opened her text messages.

She had sent a text to Sheng Yu last night: 【Thank you for your bed, love you.】

Her sleepiness vanished instantly; Zhu Yuan sat up with a start and frantically swiped the screen.

Why wasn't there a recall option?

Why didn't text messages have a recall function!

Zhu Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears, and hurriedly explained: 【I was very sleepy last night and pressed the wrong buttons, I'm sorry.】

After a few seconds, Sheng Yu replied: 【Mm.】
