"UNCLE, you mean you fainted the first time you and Uncle Yue met?" Shen Ji Yun asked.
"Yes," Shen Yi Mu answered and then saw the pitying glance his nephew gave him. He felt the corner of his mouth twitched a bit. Why did he gad a feeling that what this kid was thinking was definitely not something good? "You, what’s with that look?"
Sure enough, Shen Ji Yun’s next words confirmed his guess.
"Well, I just think that fainting on your first meeting was a bit, I don’t know, lame?"
After hearing his uncle’s story of he and Uncle Yue met, Shen Ji Yun was definitely thankful that it was completely different from when he and Luo Yan met. He jumped from a tree and saved him from a person harassing him. Many people had said that he was handsome. So, he must have looked particularly cool back then, right?
Even if he told this story to someone in the near future, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing. He even proudly thought that his first meeting with his rabbit was definitely much more romantic compared to that of his uncle and Uncle Yue.
Shen Yi Mu looked at his nephew who just said that his meeting with Jiang Yue was lame. Now he even felt that the other was gloating. As if he was proud of something he managed to do well than his uncle.
This brat.
He finally couldn’t help himself and threw the throw pillow behind his back to Ji Yun in annoyance. Of course, the other easily avoided it. Ji Yun picked the pillow that fell on the floor and put it on the couch he was sitting on.
"Uncle, domestic violence is not allowed."
"What ’domestic violence’? You’re really getting better and better at using your words."
"Thank you for the compliment."
[I’m not complimenting you, you kid.]
Shen Yi Mu sighed. What was he doing bickering with his nephew like some kind of kid? He was just a bit triggered that Ji Yun called his fateful meeting with Jiang Yue as ’lame’. How could it be lame when he thought that it was pretty destined.
The fact that Jiang Yue was there at that place and at that time was like the wheels of fate working, tying their two lives together irrevocably. That meeting both changed their lives.
He no longer bantered with his nephew and just continued on with his story.
=====
Shen Yi Mu slowly opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling. He was still a bit dizzy and it took a long while before his mind slowly cleared. And then he remembered what happened just now.
Some annoying student bumped into him. Because he was also irritated, he didn’t hesitate to trip him. He knew that the other wouldn’t just leave, so he simply challenged him into a fist fight.
He won, of course. He might look thin on the outside but he had compact muscles from his years of karate training. After that guy ran away with his tail between his legs, a short guy suddenly appeared asking him if he was alright.
The last thing he remembered was a pretty face and a pair of beautifully shaped apricot eyes.
"Good, you’re awake," said a female voice.
He turned towards the side where he saw a woman wearing a white lab coat. He abruptly sat up, because he finally realized where he was. It was the university’s infirmary. He recognized this woman as the doctor in charge of the infirmary.
"Student, you fainted from hunger," the doctor informed him. "Working hard is good but one should also do it in moderation."
"I know, Doctor," he just said.
If he tried to justify why he ended up fainting due to hunger, this doctor would definitely scold him to no end. It’s better to just admit his mistake.
"I asked the student who brought you here to buy a porridge for you to eat. Wait for him. Eat. And then you can leave."
After the doctor said that, she sat on the far side of the room where her desk was and then continued on reading the stack of papers in front of her.
Then Shen Yi Mu just realized what the doctor said. The ’student’ she was talking about could only be that short guy with thick glasses, right?
An image suddenly flashed in his mind. The face that he last saw when he fainted. That pretty face certainly belonged to that student. He didn’t expect that he was hiding such a face under that thick glasses.
Then he remembered what the doctor said. That that student just went to buy him porridge. Wouldn’t that mean that he knew that he fainted because of hunger? For some reason, he suddenly felt very embarrassed.
There was a high chance that the little guy was there during his fight with that annoying student who bumped into him. After witnessing him fighting, he then saw him fainting, he even carried him here.
In the other’s eyes, wouldn’t he be super lame?
Wait- how did that little guy carry him here with that thin body of his?
Before he could think more of that, the door of the infirmary opened and a short guy came running in. He was holding a paper bag. His black hair was all messy and his thick glasses were skewed. When he looked at his direction, he seemed surprised seeing him awake.
Shen Yi Mu thought that it was kind of adorable.
He walked towards his bed and gently put the paper bag on the bed. "You’re awake. Here, I bought you breakfast. Please, eat it so you can have something to pad your stomach."
Shen Yi Mu felt embarrassed once again.
"Thank you. Ahm, did you bring me here on your own?" he asked to satisfy his curiosity.
The little guy nodded. "I carried you on my back."
It was something that Shen Yi Mu already expected. But hearing it still surprised him. Because he was in no way light. And yet this guy who looked like he would be blown by a strong breeze easily managed to carry him here.
"You- you’re very strong."
The little guy smiled happily. "Yes, I’m used to hard work that’s why I have a lot of strength."
The other’s thick glasses were still skewed, so Shen Yi Mu could see a small part of his apricot shaped eyes that were now bent into crescents. Showing that he was really happy with his compliment.
[Adorable.]
Wait- what did he just think?
"Thank you for bringing me here and for buying me breakfast," he said before his mind wandered to some weird direction again. "I;m Shen Yi Mu. What’s your name?"
"Jiang Yue," the little guy said with a smile. "Jiang Yue is my name."
