Ten minutes later.
Qiao Chuchu stood outside the infirmary, leaping up to slap Pei Youchuan on the back of his head: "Are you crazy?!"
Pei Youchuan closed his eyes, lowering his head and silently enduring.
Furious, Qiao Chuchu began slapping him relentlessly: "Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Are you crazy?!"
Pei Youchuan obediently took the hits, but looked at her with defiance.
Qiao Chuchu’s hands trembled with anger: "I just left for a little while, and you already hurt someone! What the hell are you, a nuclear bomb?! Don’t say it’s Wei Sheng Wen Zhan inside. Even if it was a dog in there, you can’t hurt them!"
Pei Youchuan, feeling wronged, muttered: "He bumped into me on purpose! He was practically asking to bleed! He had ill intentions, trying to seduce you, pretending to be pitiful to get close to you!"
Qiao Chuchu’s head buzzed with confusion: "He’s seducing me?"
Pei Youchuan nodded eagerly!
Qiao Chuchu stared at him in disbelief: "In your mind, does every man seduce me? Is there no man in the world who doesn’t seduce me? Am I some kind of celestial being?!"
Pei Youchuan froze, his eyes suddenly reddening. Without thinking, he blurted out: "How would I seduce you? There are six other brothers besides us!"
Once the words left his mouth, his expression darkened, and he immediately shut his mouth tightly.
Qiao Chuchu was taken aback: "I didn’t know I had seven brothers. You’re the only one who can’t keep it together!"
Pei Youchuan sneered: "Right, I can’t keep it together. I’m bad, Wei Sheng Wen Zhan is good. You think he’s perfect!"
Qiao Chuchu, incredulous: "How can you even compare the two?!"
[What a fool! You’re my third brother! Why should I care about whether Wei Sheng Wen Zhan dies?! I’m worried you’ll anger the Wei Sheng family’s big shots! They’re ruthless villains with no moral boundaries!]
[Pei Youchuan’s going to be killed off by the plot, and now he’s gone and pissed off a big shot from the Wei Sheng family?! What if there’s a plot twist? Am I going to cry at his funeral?!]
[I don’t get why he doesn’t understand me, just randomly accusing me. Seriously!]
Pei Youchuan: "?"
His anger vanished in an instant, and he stared at her, stunned.
Qiao Chuchu suddenly calmed down.
[Wait a minute, Wei Sheng Wen Zhan can’t die. He’s just like the male lead in my comic, he’s my son, at least the surrounding character of my real son. I have to protect him!]
Pei Youchuan: "????"
Son?
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan is her son in her comic?!
At that moment, the secretary walked out of the infirmary: "Miss Qiao, Mr. Wei is fine. He wants to see you."
Qiao Chuchu nodded and stepped inside.
Pei Youchuan followed closely behind, but the secretary stopped him: "Mr. Wei only wants to see Miss Qiao."
Qiao Chuchu turned back and gave Pei Youchuan a wink: "It’s fine, wait for me here."
[I saved Wei Sheng Yucan's life, so I should be able to help Pei Youchuan this time.]
Pei Youchuan: "..."
Damn it!
He’s messed up again with the Wei Sheng family and now owes Qiao Chuchu another favor.
Why doesn’t he ever learn? Wei Sheng Huai Ling, who could run small steps, surely has an older brother who can fake being pitiful!
—
Qiao Chuchu pushed the door open: "Mr. Wei?"
[Big son, let me come see you.]
Upon hearing "big son," Wei Sheng Wen Zhan's lips twitched imperceptibly.
He gestured for her to sit next to him: "Sit."
Qiao Chuchu waved her hand awkwardly: "I’ll stand, thanks."
[One, you’re the big shot, my brother hurt you, I have to help him apologize; two, you look exactly like the male lead from my comic, sitting next to you, I just can’t accept it.]
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s gaze deepened: "If you want to apologize, you’d better sit next to me. Let’s talk."
Qiao Chuchu froze for a moment, seeing he wasn’t joking. With a stiff neck, she sat next to him: "My brother—"
"I don’t plan on pursuing your brother’s matter," Wei Sheng Wen Zhan calmly placed his hand next to hers: "And don’t think you can cover for your brother with Wei Sheng Yucan’s favor. She is her own, and I am mine."
Qiao Chuchu was shocked.
[Oh no, this guy must have mind-reading abilities! He knows exactly what I’m thinking!]
[But he doesn’t want this or that—what does he want?]
Qiao Chuchu glanced at the hand Wei Sheng Wen Zhan had placed near her leg and took a sharp breath.

[Does he want me?!]
[No, no, no, I can’t even listen to this! If I hear it, I’m going to lose everything. How will I sign books for my readers in the future?!]
She anxiously started to scratch her hands: [But Wei Sheng Wen Zhan isn’t my son. He just looks like him. He’s a real person, and I can’t transfer my thoughts to his character.]
[But, but I can’t stop!]
[Help, I finally understand what "Wan Wan Lei Qing" means!]
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
So noisy.
He only said one thing, and Qiao Chuchu’s inner thoughts came rushing out like a flood.
He pinched his brow: "My hand’s injured, and I need someone to help me with a few small things. My secretary is too busy."
Qiao Chuchu snapped back to reality, very surprised: "That’s it?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan nodded knowingly, asking: "Yeah, what did you think?"
Qiao Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief: "You should’ve said so earlier! You scared me, I thought you—"
Her sentence trailed off, and she quickly changed the topic: "Just wait."
She marched out, pulling the wary Pei Youchuan inside: "Bro, Mr. Wei decided to forgive you. As long as you take care of him, all will be forgiven!"
Pei Youchuan: "?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "?"
Qiao Chuchu, stunned: "Why me? I didn’t hurt you."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "...You want me to forgive your brother? Then you’ll have to take care of me."
Qiao Chuchu blinked, incredulous: "What? You’re not going to make me take care of you just because I’m a woman, right? No way, no way?"
Her expression gradually turned disgusted: "You’re not one of those disgusting men, are you?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
Of course not.
He just wanted to hear her inner thoughts and naturally pull her closer, living together.
Why else would he torture himself?
The secretary quickly stepped forward: "Miss Qiao, Mr. Wei believes that you graduated from a prestigious university, and since he happens to like your university, he feels that you have common ground."
Qiao Chuchu: "But I bought my degree."
The secretary’s smile twitched: "But... it’s a very famous university."
Qiao Chuchu deadpanned: "Yes, very famous, so it was very expensive. I donated a whole building."
The secretary’s eyes nearly popped out: "So your grades were excellent?"
"Also bought," Qiao Chuchu said expressionlessly: "I’m a poor student, don’t doubt me."
The secretary: "..."
"But!" Qiao Chuchu pushed Pei Youchuan forward: "My third brother’s degree is real, he graduated from MIT with a master’s degree! A true university genius!"
She proudly placed her hands on her hips and looked at Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "So, how about it? Isn’t it hard not to be moved?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan remained expressionless: "I also went to MIT."
Qiao Chuchu’s eyes lit up: "Then you two have even more in common! Double the joy! Yay!!"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
Pei Youchuan: "..."
Secretary: "..."
