Chapter 306 Remember to eat more carrots

Shen Qingnan rolled her eyes at her and complained, "How come someone so pretty has such a sharp tongue? I don't know how Lu Cheng puts up with you."

Shen Li smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Hmph, we're both in the same boat, but I'm paired up with someone. Second brother, you should worry about yourself. Xiao Nan has someone she likes."

"What?" Shen Qingnan sat up straight instantly, her voice filled with disbelief. "Who does she like? Can she be as good as me?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like it? What's the rush?"

"Is she my biological sister? Tell me quickly." Shen Qingnan's tone was anxious.

"Big brother," Shen Li deliberately softened her tone, trying to add a sense of urgency for him, "she said she likes the mature and steady type like you, big brother."

Upon hearing that it was Shen Qingbei, Shen Qingnan breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on her face eased considerably.

The eldest brother only has his sister-in-law in his heart. Over the years, countless people have come to propose marriage, but none of them have caught his eye, let alone a young girl like Xiaonan.

He thought to himself: It seems that not only is this girl's leg injured, but her eyesight is also off. I'll have to make sure she eats more carrots to help her recover.

At dinner, Grandma Shen saw Shen Qingnan there and her face was full of smiles. She asked, "Qingnan, why are you here too?"

Shen Qingnan replied naturally, "It's been quite a while since I've visited Grandma. I'm just bringing some medicine to Xiaonan, so I'll stay and have a meal with you."

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother praised her repeatedly, "Qingnan is so thoughtful; she even went out of her way to find medicine for Xiaonan."

She looked at Shen Qingnan and became more and more satisfied—this young man was handsome, calm, and considerate. If Xiaonan could find a partner like him, she would be at ease.

Lu Nan was taken aback by her mother's sudden gaze and stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

Lu Nan: Mom, what kind of look is that?

Mother Lu smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners, and her gaze fell on Shen Qingnan, her tone filled with obvious approval: "Qingnan is such a handsome young man, I really don't know which girl he'll end up with."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table turned their attention to Shen Qingnan, and a hint of ambiguous teasing filled the air.

Grandma Shen chuckled and replied, "It's our son's good fortune that the young lady has taken a liking to him. Don't let his good looks fool you, he's got a sharp tongue that most people can't handle."

Shen Qingnan raised an eyebrow and looked at his grandmother with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Grandma, I am your own grandson."

"I'm only telling the truth because he's my son." Grandma Shen smiled broadly, not hiding her "complaints" about her grandson at all.

Mother Lu waved her hand, her tone unusually warm: "Really? I think Qingnan is quite nice. Mainly, my Xiaonan also has the character 'Nan' in her name. Although the characters are different, it sounds especially intimate."

Lu Nan's lips twitched, her fingertips burning with embarrassment. She screamed inwardly, "Mom, please stop! This is too embarrassing!"

She secretly regretted that if she had known it would turn out this way, she would never have agreed to eat this meal with everyone.

Although it's inevitable to feel lonely eating in bed alone, the current predicament is a hundred times worse than loneliness.

Even more coincidentally, Shen Qingnan was sitting right next to her.

He picked up a piece of carrot and put it in her bowl, his tone as natural as if he'd done it a thousand times: "Eat more carrots, they'll help you get better."

Lu Nan stared at the orange-red carrot in the bowl, her brows furrowed, a big question mark forming in her mind: Can this stuff really nourish the body? She didn't believe it at all.

Grandma Shen watched her grandson's actions and thought to herself: This second son is even more troublesome than the eldest. Look at what he says and does, he has no composure whatsoever as a doctor.

Seeing this, Lu's mother immediately nudged Lu Nan with her elbow and urged, "What are you standing there for? Quickly thank Qing Nan! He's a doctor, what he says is always right."

A familiar sense of grievance welled up in Lu Nan's heart—she finally understood how her third brother felt when her mother "treated him differently." The sense of loss, as if she wasn't her biological son, came quickly and intensely.

She could only suppress her inner complaints and nodded reluctantly, "Thank you."

But inside, she was in turmoil: I thank you for your ancestors! No, his ancestors were also Sister Li's ancestors. Sister Li, I was wrong. I shouldn't have cursed people like that.

Shen Li sat to the side, taking in Lu Nan's helpless and hesitant expression. She sighed inwardly: Oh well, due to her mother's pressure, she could only stand by and watch, unable to help much.

After dinner, Shen Qingnan pulled Lu Nan aside and carefully reminded her of the things she needed to pay attention to in her daily life.

Lu Nan hung his head, looking completely uninterested, his eyes conveying the message "I don't want to listen."

Seeing her like this, Lu's mother raised her hand and gently patted her back, signaling her to listen carefully.

Seeing this, Shen Li quickly stepped forward and pulled Lu's mother away, finding an excuse to take the person away, leaving the two of them alone.

The main hall fell silent instantly, leaving only Lu Nan and Shen Qingnan.

Shen Qingnan suddenly leaned forward, her tone carrying a hint of deliberate reminder: "Remember to eat more carrots."

Lu Nan glared at him, her tone full of doubt and resentment: "Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does a carrot provide?"

Shen Qingnan looked at her seriously, his tone sincere yet tinged with a hint of mockery: "You're blind. Your eyesight isn't good."

Lu Nan looked up in confusion, meeting the fleeting smile in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat: Why did she feel that he was implying something about her?

"Are you sure it's not you who needs to take supplements?" Lu Nan said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.

This person is so boring, actually going around in circles to say she has bad eyesight.

Shen Qingnan raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with smugness: "No need, my eyesight is excellent, unlike yours."

Lu Nan instantly recalled what Shen Li had said earlier and muttered to herself: No, Shen Qingnan's mouth is too sharp.

She was really worried that if she were to be with him in the future, not only would she be unable to handle him, but she would also be driven crazy by him, and might even get sick from anger before she got old.

Too lazy to argue with him any longer, she said coldly, "Goodbye."

After saying that, he leaned on his cane and walked out without looking back.

Shen Qingnan originally intended to get up and take her back, but as soon as he reached the door, he noticed someone waiting outside, so he stopped and did not follow.

He leaned against the door frame, watching Lu Nan's sullen back, a gentle smile spreading across his eyes—the little girl's angry look was just like his cat Nuan Nuan, who was always puffed up with fur.

The next morning, Shen Li packed her things and went to school.

Although things at home have come to an end, she still wants to try her best not to fall behind in her studies.

As soon as I sat down, my deskmate Xie Mei grabbed my arm.

Xie Mei was known as the school's "information expert," and her face was full of excited gossip: "Lili, you didn't come to school yesterday, so you have no idea how lively the cafeteria was at noon! There's a girl named Huang Ting in the Economics Department who was two-timing someone, and they came to her door looking for her. It's all over the news."

Shen Li frowned slightly, a sense of doubt rising in her heart.

Kyoto University has always maintained strict security, making it impossible for outsiders to enter the campus at will.

Moreover, the way this was done, with such ruthless methods, clearly indicates that it was done intentionally.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, Huang Ting's reputation is completely ruined after this incident.

She will likely find it difficult to hold her head high at Peking University in the future, let alone establish herself there.

This is truly gratifying!

But who exactly did it?

She hasn't even started yet.
