When Jiang Xingye saw An Chengye in the ward, the image of a wounded lion trapped in a cage emerged in his mind. He was worried about his friend all the way, and now he was still alive, just lying decadently on the bed, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was not so arrogant.
"Are you still human? What are you laughing at?" An Chengye heard the noise and threw a pillow at Jiang Xingye.
"How did you become like this?" Jiang Xingye walked slowly to the empty seat beside his bed, looked at the bandaged wound on An Chengye's hand, and shook his head helplessly, "If Dad knew..." Seeing the frost on An Chengye's face, he realized that he had mentioned something he shouldn't have, and explained, "He cares about you a lot."
"Don't tell him." An Chengye said coldly, and the next second he changed into another impatient expression, "Give me the phone."
Jiang Xingye was a little confused as to why he needed a cell phone at this time, but she still handed it to him.
After snatching the phone, An Chengye logged into Weibo and searched for it, only then did he feel relieved: "Fortunately it didn't make the headlines." The news that proved his injury was blocked by Jian Jun.
After the accident, he was worried that shareholders would be dissatisfied with his rash actions, which would bring disadvantages to the company and affect subsequent financing. Now he is glad that nothing is wrong.
"Are you scared now? Jian Jun said he had warned you not to try extreme sports. The futures of hundreds of people in the company depend on you. If something unexpected happens, all their trust and efforts will go to waste."
Jiang Xingye finally put away his smile. He and An Chengye grew up together. They were not blood brothers but were better than brothers. He also contributed to the founding of Shiku Technology by An Chengye. He knew An Chengye's temper very well. If he didn't learn a lesson, this guy would still insist on doing things his own way.
"Don't you still have the company ?"
"Me?" Jiang Xingye pointed at himself, not knowing whether An Chengye was joking or serious. "What a joke! I don't know how to communicate with shareholders and employees. If you really run into trouble, they won't believe me, a guy who can only give orders without any technical knowledge."
"Didn't you make it to the finals of the computer competition that year? Don't underestimate your abilities."
"Don't mention it." The scene of that competition was still vivid in his mind. It was also because the result was not satisfactory. He knew that there was a big gap between him and An Chengye who ranked first, so he decided to give up computer science and choose financial management despite his family's opposition.
"Okay, I promise you that I won't play anymore and I won't do anything that affects the company, okay?" An Chengye's voice was hoarse and helpless.
He just struggled to sit up and stretch his muscles, but was stopped by Jiang Xingye: "The doctor said you can't move yet."
An Chengye had no choice but to give up.
Although others often think that An Chengye is autocratic, there is one person in the world that An Chengye is willing to listen to, and that is his good brother - Jiang Xingye.
An Chengye, who was lying on the hospital bed, followed Jiang Xingye's line of sight and looked out the window. The lights were just coming on, and the night was lonely. Jiang Xingye's solemn expression appeared on the glass and also in An Chengye's eyes. He asked in confusion, "I'm the one lying in the hospital, why are you so sad?"
"I found out that you are hiding something from me." Jiang Xingye turned and looked at him, his eyes full of complexity.
"What are you talking about? What could I hide from you?" An Chengye looked confused.
"For example, you didn't tell me when you had a girlfriend."
When Jiang Xingye said this with a sad tone, An Chengye couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Which gossip tabloid is writing nonsense again? Give me the phone, I'll let Jian Jun deal with it quickly." As he said that, he stretched out a hand in the air, trying to take his phone away.
"It's not the gossip tabloids. I saw it with my own eyes." Jiang Xingye looked at An Chengye with suspicion. "You never let girls get close to you. That girl was able to come out of your ward. The relationship must be complicated."
"Are you talking about Mai Xiaoshu?" An Chengye raised his voice in disbelief. He would never have thought that Jiang Xingye would imagine a "marriage" for him out of thin air, and the object was actually Mai Xiaoshu. Although his opinion of her changed after being rescued by her, any discerning person should be able to see that he and that idiot are from two completely different worlds!
An Chengye had to recount how Mai Xiaoshu saved him.
"So she's my savior..." Jiang Xingye nodded thoughtfully, "Why didn't she say it just now?"
Maybe, the other party wants to be a chivalrous woman who does good deeds without leaving a name.
But now that he knew about this, he had to repay his good brother who saved his life on his behalf.
A few days later at noon, when Mai Xiaoshu received the scholarship announcement list in his mailbox, he and Song Feifei were having lunch in the cafeteria.
"Oh my God! I actually passed!" When Mai Xiaoshu saw his name, he slammed the table excitedly and his rice spoon almost fell off the table. Song Feifei was also scared and dropped the chicken leg in her hand into the soup bowl, splashing soup all over her.
"Xiao Shu, what's the matter that makes you so excited? I'm scared to death!" Song Feifei complained while taking out a handkerchief to wipe the stained clothes, and couldn't help rolling her eyes at Mai Xiao Shu.
"Fei Fei! I got the scholarship!" Mai Xiaoshu was so excited that his eyes were sparkling .
"What? Scholarship! Congratulations, Xiaoshu!" After hearing what Mai Xiaoshu said, Song Feifei also became excited and felt happy for her friend.
"marvelous!"
The two of them shouted in unison and hugged each other excitedly, their joyful voices attracting the attention of others.
"Why are you arguing in a public place? Don't you see there are people eating next to you? Do you have any manners?" At this time, a sharp female voice interrupted them.
Mai Xiaoshu turned around and saw a girl with a ponytail, with her hands on her hips, talking to them. Although the girl sitting next to her didn't say a word, she was very dazzling in the crowd. The long skirt with an elegant daisy pattern set off her fair skin.
Isn’t this Yin Lunmei?
It seems to be a deliberate provocation!
As soon as the ponytail girl finished speaking, Yin Lunmei responded. Her words were like countless needles flying towards Mai Xiaoshu: "Is it really worth being happy about stealing other students' scholarships through the back door?"
"Through the back door?" When the people around heard the girl's words, they all looked at Mai Xiaoshu.
Hearing the inexplicable slander, Mai Xiaoshu's smile froze on her face. She walked straight to the speaker and said, "Yin Lunmei, don't slander me. Do you have any evidence that I used a backdoor? Isn't the scholarship selected by your student union?"
"Hmph! I threw away your information in the first round of review. What on earth did you do to make the president choose you in the second round?" Seeing Mai Xiaoshu's denial, Yin Lunmei was aroused and accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
"What? You threw away my information on purpose!" Mai Xiaoshu clenched her fists in anger after hearing what Yin Lunmei said. It was obvious that Yin Lunmei was using the power given by the school to deliberately suppress her!
"I...how could I say that I threw away your information? You heard me wrong. I said that you were eliminated in the first round!" Yin Lunmei concealed her panic and looked very unnatural.
"Yes, the vice president never said that. You must have heard it wrong!" The girl standing next to Yin Lunmei came out to support her.
"I heard it too." Song Feifei stepped forward.
People around him stood up to speak for Mai Xiaoshu: "We all heard it. You are deliberately targeting this student. The student union is great. Why do you deprive someone of the right to apply for a scholarship?"
"You guys..." Yin Lunmei didn't expect things to turn out like this. Seeing the classmates coming to her to ask for an explanation, she didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. "I just made a slip of the tongue. What are you doing here? If you do this again, I will report you to the principal for causing trouble!"
"Okay, then let's write a joint letter saying that you abused your power and see if the principal believes us or you?" At this time, a tall girl squeezed out from the crowd. Mai Xiaoshu recognized her as the monitor of the new class, a very enthusiastic girl. They had known each other for a short time, so the two of them were just nodding acquaintances. She didn't expect that she would speak up for her in her critical moment. Mai Xiaoshu looked at the monitor and the classmates behind her with gratitude.
"You are Ai Jing, right? I remember you also applied for a scholarship and ranked fourth." Yin Lunmei saw that the newcomer could take advantage of her to turn the tables, so she came up with a plan, "It's you who was unfortunately squeezed out of the application quota!"
"If I have any objections to the scholarship list, I will go to the president to make suggestions. You don't need to stir up trouble here."
"You! Just wait and see!" Yin Lunmei didn't expect that Ai Jing would turn the tables on her. Seeing that the situation was not right, she left like a noble peacock, leaving behind some harsh words.
Seeing the great victory, Mai Xiaoshu had no time to be happy. She just walked up to the squad leader and wanted to thank her and everyone else. However, before she opened her mouth, the other party just looked at her deeply, waved her hand and said, "You're welcome." Then she asked everyone to disperse and eat.
Everyone looked at her leaving figure, then looked at Mai Xiaoshu, and whispered to each other: "Ai Jing happened to be ranked fourth, how unlucky."
Although what Yin Lunmei said was unfounded, Ai Jing was still willing to help her after hearing it, and Mai Xiaoshu became even more grateful to her.
"Let's go, today is a good day, I'll treat you to milk tea!" Seeing that Yin Lunmei got the lesson she deserved, Song Feifei happily pulled Mai Xiaoshu away. Mai Xiaoshu didn't want Song Feifei's wallet to bleed, so he was reluctant to go, but under the insistence of his friend, he had to reluctantly go to the convenience store.
