Marriage as a Game

Chapter 90 Uncle Zhong, I want you to do me a favor
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Shang Jianghan returned to the hospital after finishing his business outside.

He learned from the information desk that Shen Chaoxi had changed his ward at night and was admitted to the high-ranking cadres ward on the twelfth floor.

There are many patients in the Peking University Affiliated Hospital and the medical conditions are relatively tight. The high-ranking cadres ward and VIP ward area are both high-end wards, but the conditions are relatively poor.

Shang Jianghan found Shen Chaoxi's new ward according to the room number given by the nurse.

The nurse had finished her work for the day and came out of the ward. She had seen Shang Jianghan before, so she naturally understood that the relationship between the two was unusual.

She gave Shang Jianghan a meaningful look and then returned to her rest area.

There was only a white bedside lamp on in the ward. Although it was not as bright as a main lamp, it was enough to see the situation in the ward clearly.

At this time, Shen Chaoxi was standing in front of the balcony window, looking at the dark night sky outside.

When she heard the door open, she didn't turn around, but said softly, "Are you here?"

"Ah."

Shang Jianghan took off his windbreaker and walked over, wrapping the coat, which had his body temperature and a faint woody scent, around the girl who was only wearing a loose hospital gown.

It started to drizzle outside this evening, and the temperature, which had been warming up, dropped suddenly.

"Why did you come down? Your ankle is not healed yet."

In such an atmosphere, Shang Jianghan hugged her from behind and buried his face in her warm neck.

The faint scent of orchid shower gel on the girl went straight into his nostrils.

The man's mind was moved.

Shen Chaoxi's body trembled slightly, but he recovered quickly. "It's okay to stand occasionally, but it seems to hurt a little when you put your weight down!"

The girl's voice was delicate and soft, and especially in the silent space with dim lights, it gave people a sense of confusion.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her shoulders loosen and the warm chest disappeared from her back. A sense of loss made Shen Chaoxi miss the warmth just now.

She began to regret what she had just said.

"I'm not... eh!"

The next second, Shen Chaoxi was picked up horizontally. Because the incident happened suddenly, she tightly wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

Patting his shoulder with his left hand, Shen Chaoxi couldn't help but complain: "I was so scared! Couldn't you just say hello!"

"Why? Are you afraid of being hung in the air again?"

"Yeah, isn't it? This is called sequelae!"

The man kissed her fair cheek.

"Don't worry, I'll be there for you from now on and won't let you get into any danger!"

As he spoke, Shen Chaoxi was carried back to the bed.

She pointed to the sofa area.

"I'm tired of lying down every day. I'm going to sit for a while!"

Girls rarely make requests to him in such a coquettish tone.

Sure enough, the change of roles brought a very delightful experience.

Shang Jianghan had no reason to disobey her.

The two of them snuggled on the sofa, hugging each other and chatting.

Shen Chaoxi raised his right wrist and said with regret: "It's less than two months before the college entrance examination. I don't know if my wrist can recover to hold a pen normally. I'm repeating a year anyway, so I can't study for another year, right?"

"So, you cried until your eyes were red and swollen because you were worried about this?"

Shang Jianghan held her in his arms and pulled her into his arms, then looked down at her.

Shen Chaoxi raised his head, his black eyes were slightly red and swollen.

She didn't expect that Shang Jianghan had already discovered it.

"I thought you wouldn't notice if I turned off the headlights, but you still found out!"

After saying this, Shen Chaoxi felt a lump in his throat and tears began to fall.

Shang Jianghan wiped her tears with his fingertips. "They say women are made of water. I thought you were an exception, but it seems I was wrong!"

This was the first time Shang Jianghan saw a girl crying so hard.

He held her cheeks and bent down to kiss her eyelashes and her tears.

Shen Chaoxi closed his eyes, and even though tears were flowing, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

When his emotions gradually calmed down, Shen Chaoxi simply nestled in Shang Jianghan's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist.

"Don't worry about the college entrance examination. I have already asked Beijing University and Tsinghua University. You were injured while doing something righteous, and your previous test scores are there. Both schools will open doors for you."

Shen Chaoxi was stunned in his arms for a moment, then hummed softly.

In the following days, Shang Jianghan seemed to be very busy. He always came over at night, chatted with Shen Chaoxi, and then went back in the night.

Shen Chaoxi had seen the red blood scab on the back of his right hand, but he pretended not to see it and never asked about it.

Shen Chaoxi stayed in the hospital for ten days. Her ankle injury was now fine except that she should not engage in strenuous activities in the near future. She went straight back to the Yao family from the hospital.

On grandma's side, everyone agreed that the injury was caused by Shen Chaoxi accidentally slipping and falling during physical education class.

"Our teacher has already asked, you can get into Tsinghua University and Peking University without taking the college entrance examination, so don't be so sad!"

Today I have another thick bowl of bone soup, which is made by my grandma herself.

"It's the same as climbing a mountain. If you're just one step away, you haven't reached the top yet."

As a teacher all her life, my grandmother attaches great importance to test scores.

"Oh, grandma! I just said that if I can't take the exam, I won't be unable to go to university. The doctor said that I can recover quickly and I can practice catching myself in a month. There will be no problem for me to take the college entrance examination!"

Shen Chaoxi has been practicing finger strength at home these days. Although his writing is slow, he is not unable to write.

"Besides, if I drink your big bone soup every day and it doesn't get better, it would be a shame to the pigs and cows that were sacrificed for me!"

Grandma was amused and touched her forehead with her finger.

"You!"

Coincidentally, Zhong Hongguang and Yao Chun also came over.

Shen Chaoxi told Yao Chun about his broken wrist two days ago. Shen Chaoxi said it himself.

"You must take good care of the baby, and don't blame me for any mishaps that happen to your brother or sister!"

After having lunch at Yao's house, Yao Chun accompanied her grandmother to the bedroom for a nap, while Zheng Juanjuan went to work at the neighborhood committee.

Only Zhong Hongguang and Shen Chaoxi were left in the living room.

"Uncle Zhong, I want to ask you for a favor!"

~~
Shen Chaoxi rested at Yao's house for another week and then returned to school.

The students of Class 9 took special care of her and provided her with full service except for going to the toilet.

As soon as May begins, the weather gradually becomes hotter, especially at noon when the sun shines scorchingly.

At the same time, the college entrance examination has entered the 30-day countdown, and every teacher and student in the senior year is filled with tension.

On the afternoon of May 6, Shen Chaoxi took a leave and went to the hospital for a CT scan. The results showed that his wrist had returned to normal and the plaster was removed.

When they returned to Dongzhi Community that night, Shang Jianghan, Zhong Shuoxi and Song Yang were waiting in Room 1202 to celebrate Shen Chaoxi's survival and new life.

Survive a disaster and be reborn?
It's no wonder that this was Song Yang's idea.

As for the relationship between himself and Shang Jianghan, since Shen Chaoxi was still in school, they had agreed not to disclose it to anyone.

"Wait until I get into college before making it public. Right now I'm still a middle school student and you're a teacher. If it gets out, won't I lose face?"

Shen Chaoxi pouted her pink little lips and shook Shang Jianghan's arm coquettishly.

She used to be too calm, and Shang Jianghan not only didn't feel awkward about her sudden change, but he also liked it very much.

In order to fulfill this request, Shang Jianghan pressed Shen Chaoxi down on the sofa in the ward and kissed her so hard that her lips were red and swollen the next day. The nurse even asked her if she was allergic to anything she had eaten or taken.
