Shen Keqin turned and looked at Lin Zhuyin indifferently, "Is something wrong?"
After Lin Zhuyin married Shen Liubai, Shen Keqin treated her sister-in-law very well, completely as her own family.
Whatever she bought for herself, whether it was bags, clothes, shoes, or expensive jewelry, she would definitely buy a copy for Lin Zhuyin.
The more she gave, the more painful it was when she was betrayed.
She herself was fine, but the thought of Shen Liubai made Shen Keqin unable to face Lin Zhuyin calmly.
"Um... I've recently taken on a big order, and I'm very busy during the day, so delivering meals is always late. Can I trouble you to take care of Mu Bai during the day for this period?"
Lin Zhuyin had indeed become much more haggard. Her face was full of fatigue, her eyes were bloodshot from lack of rest, and even her skin was worse than before, clearly having no time for maintenance.
Shen Keqin felt very uncomfortable. Thinking that Jian Mu Bai was injured saving her, it was already wrong for Lin Zhuyin to deliver meals and take care of him every day.
"Yes, but it's not a trouble. He was injured saving me, so even if it's to repay the favor, I should take care of him."
Lin Zhuyin smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Returning to the ward, Lin Zhuyin smiled at Jian Mu Bai, "Did you hear that? You'll see Qinqin every day from now on."
Jian Mu Bai sincerely said, "Thank you."
...
After Shen Keqin entered the elevator, she realized she had agreed too quickly.
For taking care of others, she could have just hired a caregiver. Why did she have to take care of them herself?
She had been taken care of her whole life, and she didn't want to take care of anyone else.
As she was heading downstairs dejectedly, she ran into Han Yunuo, who was being discharged today.
After the two of them were rescued, Han Yunuo was also sent to the hospital. Shen Keqin's attention was entirely on Jian Mu Bai, and she completely forgot about Han Yunuo.
The swelling on Han Yunuo's face had subsided a lot, but there were still some bruises.
Looking at the radiant Shen Keqin, Han Yunuo touched her face, feeling some regret, wishing she could drag Xiao Fen out of prison and tear her to pieces.
Soon, she calmed down again, "Let's talk?"
Shen Keqin clearly had no mood to chat with Han Yunuo, "Talk about what?"
"Talk about poetry and songs, talk about life ideals."
"Not interested!"
Shen Keqin turned to leave, but Han Yunuo helplessly stopped her, "It won't take up too much of your time."
The two came to a coffee shop near the hospital. Seeing Han Yunuo order a cup of black coffee, Shen Keqin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't you dislike drinking black coffee?"
Han Yunuo took a sip and frowned from the bitterness, "Yes, I used to think this stuff was bitter. After experiencing so much, I suddenly feel that black coffee is quite good. It can constantly remind me that the world doesn't revolve around me, and I can't be as willful as before."
If she had heard Han Yunuo's words a week ago, Shen Keqin would definitely not have believed it.
She would rather believe that pigs could fly than believe that Han Yunuo would change.
But now, looking at her, she felt that she had indeed changed a lot. Her arrogant expression was gone, and her overbearing gaze had also changed.
"How is Jian Mu Bai?"
Hearing Jian Mu Bai's name from Han Yunuo's mouth, Shen Keqin's expression instantly turned cold, "Aren't you in the same hospital as him? Why didn't you go see him yourself?"
Han Yunuo gave a wry smile, "Why does that sound like you have something going on with him?"
Hearing the sourness in Shen Keqin's tone, Han Yunuo chuckled, "That's right, I had a crush on him, but he never paid attention to me."
Shen Keqin remembered Han Yunuo's note for Jian Mu Bai, her eyes growing colder.
"Haha..."
Han Yunuo suddenly burst into laughter, "Look at you, you look like you've eaten me. Don't worry, I won't have a crush on him anymore."
Saying that, Han Yunuo's expression faded again, "I originally thought Jian Mu Bai had fallen so low as to work at Jinse. As long as I treated him well, he would be with me. It wasn't until we were kidnapped that I realized his eyes were only on you..."
The events of that day had dealt Han Yunuo a big blow.
Especially when Xiao Fen held a knife to her neck and told Jian Mu Bai to stop, Jian Mu Bai didn't react at all.
But when Shen Keqin was threatened, he immediately surrendered.
It was easy to see who was more important.
She lost, completely lost.
Or rather, she didn't even have the qualifications to compete with Shen Keqin. It was all her own wishful thinking.
"Qinqin... Jian Mu Bai likes you. The way he looks at you is different from how he looks at others. Even Lin Zhuyin wouldn't make him show that deep, adoring gaze."
Shen Keqin's hand holding the coffee trembled slightly.
Han Yunuo: "Haven't you ever noticed?"
Shen Keqin took a sip of coffee, suppressing her racing heart, "Why would I pay attention to how someone looks at me?"
"Tsk, Shen Keqin, to be honest, your mouth is the hardest part of you. Don't blame me for not warning you. Jian Mu Bai is a blockhead. If you keep being so stubborn, you two will miss each other sooner or later."
Shen Keqin: "..."
Suddenly, Han Yunuo leaned closer to Shen Keqin and sat next to her. Seeing her, Shen Keqin flinched away with disgust, "What are you doing? Get away from me?"
"Hey, the last time Jian Mu Bai drank drugged wine, you two... did you..."
Before Han Yunuo could finish speaking, Shen Keqin yelped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "No! Nothing happened!"
"You're still lying to me. Your lips were swollen then!"
Shen Keqin wanted to argue, but Han Yunuo's voice rang out again, "You can think about it carefully. If someone else kissed you, what would you do?"
Someone else?
Just thinking about that scene made her shiver. She probably would have kicked them away before they could even touch her.
So, Jian Mu Bai could kiss her!
Han Yunuo smiled triumphantly, "I can only help you this much."
Shen Keqin: "..."
"One more thing, thank you..."
Han Yunuo drugging Shen Keqin had angered Shen Chiyan. It was Shen Keqin who pleaded with Shen Chiyan for Han Yunuo, and only then did Shen Chiyan spare the Han family.
Otherwise, given Shen Chiyan's personality, he would have made the Han family bankrupt.
"You don't need to thank me. From now on, repent and live a good life. Don't court death again!"
Shen Keqin stood up to leave. Han Yunuo suddenly stood up and hugged her. Shen Keqin stiffened.
Soon, Han Yunuo let go of her, "Can we be friends?"
They had been rivals for so many years, and Han Yunuo had always seen Shen Keqin as her mortal enemy. Shen Keqin, on the other hand, wasn't particularly interested in Han Yunuo.
Every time, Han Yunuo would jump out to cause trouble for her, and after being defeated by her set of moves, she would slink back to strategize.
Over the years, because of Han Yunuo's existence, Shen Keqin's life hadn't been so boring.
Enemies could make peace, let alone Han Yunuo wasn't an enemy, at most a fool.
Shen Keqin left with the words, "Let's see how you behave."
Han Yunuo watched Shen Keqin's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh. See, Qinqin Princess is Qinqin Princess. She is kinder and more generous than anyone else.
Perhaps she grew up being doted on by everyone, so she had a broad mind.
She seemed foolish, but in reality, she was wise and naive, because in this world, having one more friend is much better than having one more enemy.
