The nurse hugged the new toy happily and bowed to her gratefully. “Thank you, thank you, Miss Cheng.”

“You don’t have to be so polite.” Cheng Mu really did not care. All she was thinking about now was when her beautiful doll would visit her.

Just as she was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door of the ward.

Cheng Mu’s eyes immediately lit up and her face brightened in anticipation.

The nursing aide hurriedly went to open the door. As expected, she saw the childish-looking Shen Nian standing expressionlessly at the door.

Cheng Mu was so happy that she almost jumped off the bed to give him a big hug. However, she had to pretend to be sick, so she leaned against the headboard and waited for him to slowly walk over to see her.

Shen Nian glanced coldly at the expensive doll in the nurse’s hand and slowly shifted his gaze to Cheng Mu. “Don’t you like it?”

“Huh?” Cheng Mu did not follow his train of thought for a moment. After a moment of stunned silence, she glanced down and saw the pink shopping bag hidden behind his back. She immediately smiled happily and said, “You went to buy me a gift! What did you buy? Hurry up and show me!”

Shen Nian glanced at the nursing aide and dismissed her. Then, he walked to her bedside and awkwardly stuffed the bag into her arms. “I thought you would like this kind of thing.”

He was late was because he had gone to the mall to choose the gift that he had promised to give her. He had thought that from what he knew of her, she would like this kind of doll. However, when he saw her give the doll to the nursing aide just now, the usually confident Shen Nian suddenly felt uncertain. His expression darkened slightly.

Cheng Mu did not know what Shen Nian was thinking. She opened the shopping bag happily. When she saw the exquisite and cute doll inside, she immediately beamed. She happily held the doll up. “I like dolls. How did you know?”

Shen Nian was stunned. Her smile was so infectious that even he looked slightly amused. “I guessed. Since you like dolls, why did you give away such a beautiful doll just now?”

Cheng Mu hugged the doll tightly like a baby and said matter-of-factly,

“Auntie said that her daughter likes to play with dolls too, so I gave it to her.

Anyway, I have a lot of dolls at home.”

She spoke frankly and Shen Nian did not think too much about it. After all, it was just a doll. No matter how expensive or valuable it was, it was just a child’s toy.

However, he could not help but look at her arms. His brows furrowed slightly, and there was an imperceptible look of anxiety in his eyes.

Cheng Mu followed his gaze and looked at her chest. She hurriedly hugged the doll tightly and promised, “I won’t give away anything you’ve given me. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely cherish it!”

“Ok.” Shen Nian blushed when she exposed his thoughts. Afraid that Cheng Mu would see through him, he quickly turned his head away and asked, “You, have you eaten?”

“I’ve eaten.” Cheng Mu nodded gently. She looked at the clock and her eyes widened in realization. “Don’t tell me you haven’t eaten yet? What do you want to eat? I’ll get the nurse to buy it for you!”

Shen Nian let out a low breath and said helplessly, “It’s alright as long as you’ve eaten. Invalids have to pay attention to their diet and nutrition. I’ll just go to the hospital canteen to eat something.”

“That won’t do!” Cheng Mu still remembered how dizzy Shen Nian was and how he could not even walk steadily. She quickly disagreed and said angrily, “You need time to recuperate from your injuries, but you insisted on going to school. If you don’t eat properly now, your condition might worsen. Just you wait.”

With that, she hurriedly picked up her cell phone and called the nursing aide , and asked her to order some food from a nearby restaurant. She would pay for it.

Shen Nian watched quietly as she made the arrangements for him. After she hung up, he gently shifted his gaze away and sat on a chair. He took out his textbook from his bag. “The lesson today is very simple. I’ve already taken notes. You can take a look if you’re not sleepy yet. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you.” Cheng Mu blinked in disbelief. “Do invalids still need to study?”

“Yes.” Shen Nian said seriously.

Cheng Mu was defeated. She wailed as she picked up the notebook. Her heart was filled with resentment, but when she saw the beautiful handwriting on the notebook, her resentment suddenly dissipated.

A thought suddenly popped up in her mind. Cheng Mu held the notebook and asked uncertainly, “Did you insist on going to school because of me?” “Not entirelv.” Of course, Shen Nian had zone to school to deal with Cui Hao and Guan Hong. After all, for him, the fourth-year questions were too simple now. Even if he did not listen, his results would not be affected.

Although she did not get an affirmative answer from him, Cheng Mu was still filled with joy. Even if Shen Nian did not do it for her sake, it was at least partly because of her.

Any bit of concern that he showed her was sweeter than a hundred pieces of candy..
