Chapter 1: My Girlfriend Awaits My Discharge
Lian Bing said she had waited impatiently for this day.
In retrospect, Lian Bing had been murmuring “There’s still…” for the past half-month. At the time, I hadn’t realized what she was referring to, but it turns out she meant the day of my discharge.
However, my actual discharge date was much earlier than scheduled. The doctor had said I’d need three months to recover from my injuries, but in reality, after just one month, I was almost completely healed.
So, I casually picked a day and secretly checked out of the hospital without telling anyone.
How did Lian Bing know I would be discharged early?
When I asked her, her answer was both unexpected and logical: “Miss Shirley told me.”
Well, the omniscient Miss Shirley seems to know everything, doesn’t she…
As I walked out of the hospital with Lian Bing, I glanced back at the Chunyu Hospital building where I had stayed for a month. Surprisingly, I felt a pang of reluctance.
“But, honestly, if I could, I’d really want to live here forever.”
“Oh? Jun Cheng, you just want to be with the pretty nurses, is that it? Perhaps a punishment is in order, heh heh heh.”
“Uh, I didn’t mean that…”
Her face stretched long, and she was practically drooling.
In fact, some of it had already landed on her fingers.
But Lian Bing seemed unfazed. After letting go, she even put her saliva-covered thumb into her mouth and sucked on it.
If it were the old me, I might have been so awkward I wouldn’t have known what expression to make.
But the current me wouldn’t be shaken by such an action.
The reason? During my hospitalization, while I was incapacitated, Lian Bing had been taking care of me as my girlfriend, far more attentive and responsible than any nurse.
Feeding me, changing my clothes, helping me to the bathroom… yes, even if I refused, she’d forcefully help me with all of it.
I was completely exposed, how embarrassing…
Not!
In short, after a period of adjustment, our relationship seemed to have deepened.
Every time she helped me bathe, I thought it was no longer something a girlfriend should do, but something a wife would do.
Moreover, for a young lady from a wealthy family to be willing to take care of me like this had caused Lian Bing’s impression in my heart to skyrocket.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Are you thinking of something lewd? Heh heh heh~”
“Not at all. This is a look of gratitude. Honestly, thank you for everything during this time.”
When I was injured before, Lian Bing had assigned Shirley to take care of me, but this time she was willing to lower herself and care for me herself. Did this mean she valued me more?
…I shouldn’t guess. The hearts of women are so complex.
“It’s my duty. I’m willing to take care of Jun Cheng… If I say it like this, will my favorability increase again? Heh heh heh~”
“No, no, no, it can’t increase anymore. My favorability is already maxed out. Miss Lian Bing, aren’t you about to enter my H-scene?”
“Oh my, Jun Cheng, are you inviting me to kill you? For me, that would be the best good ending!”
Sigh, I almost forgot about that.
Suddenly recalling it now, I was jolted awake. She was still Lian Bing, just much more sophisticated.
Have I thrown myself into the arms of a man-eating demoness?
If, one day, the thought “I’d die happily in her hands” truly materializes, it will probably be my end.
However, while I can still resist this fatal temptation, I will refuse it for now… After all, I want to live a long life.
“How about this? After the penetration, I’ll choke you to death, how about that?”
“That’s truly an exhilarating experience to the extreme! But dying after just one pleasure would be too expensive, wouldn’t it? If possible, I’d like to do it a few more times.”
Uh, I wasn’t referring to the suffocating chokeplay…
“Heh heh heh, truly insatiable~”
“Men are all like this.”
We skipped the friend stage and went straight to being boyfriend and girlfriend. It was a purely formal relationship at first, but now it’s hard to tell the difference between real and fake… Yet, it’s not like the passionate new couples who are all over each other. Instead, it’s more like a comfortable, old married couple who have been together for a long time?
Having such a woman, what more could I ask for?
“But at least today I won’t have to see that annoying poker face. As expected, having the inside scoop is very important, heh heh heh.”
Xue Qing was discharged much earlier than me, possibly on the fifth day of her hospitalization. Her recovery speed was astonishing, far beyond human limits.
But after her discharge, Xue Qing kept lingering in my hospital room, even skipping class to come see me.
This resulted in a three-seat row in the corner of the classroom being empty, probably making Teacher Xiaozhen cry hysterically…
However, Xue Qing didn’t take care of me like Lian Bing did. She just quietly stayed by my side. She completely ignored Lian Bing’s sarcastic remarks.
So Lian Bing couldn’t do anything about her.
Also, unlike Lian Bing, Xue Qing basically always clung to me. Yes, even at night, she wouldn’t go back. Relying on her small stature, she’d hide under my covers, sleep in my arms… and she’d even secretly lick me.
It was due to this “regular dressing change” that my wounds healed so quickly.
…This is something I absolutely cannot tell Lian Bing. Of course, she might already know.
During my hospitalization, Ying Liang and Lan Hua also visited me. Moreover, Lan Hua sent me strange text messages almost every day.
I really don’t want to recall the specifics of what exactly happened… I’ll talk about it another time if there’s a chance.
Also, Li Nai, the class monitor, visited me with Teacher Xiaozhen on behalf of the class. She brought me some慰问品 (condolences/comfort items) and asked about my situation.
Lili also visited four or five times, but she didn’t stay long each time before leaving.
Regarding this matter, Lian Bing looked at me with newfound appreciation, saying I wasn’t just superficial… If she saw Lili’s true appearance, would she despise me?
Thinking about this, I slightly turned my head to look at Lian Bing. She happened to turn her head to look at me at the same time, and our eyes met.
“So, Jun Cheng, are you going straight home next?”
“…I should go home first. I need to put these things back.”
Clothes for the hospital, toiletries, and the like. It wouldn’t be convenient to go anywhere fun with these in hand.
Besides, today is Saturday. Xin Ran and Ke Ling, my younger sisters, should have come to see me in the morning. I should go home before they set out.
By the way, Lian Bing has not met my younger sisters yet. My sisters usually have classes, so they are generally only available after 5 PM.
She seemed to understand that it wasn’t yet time to interact with my younger sisters.
Honestly, her主动避开 (proactive avoidance) of my younger sisters was a huge help.
Originally, introducing my cute younger sisters to others was something I’d be proud of. But now, introducing them to…
Ugh, no. Just thinking about it gives me an upset stomach.
OF SF Light Novel
Putting Xin Ran aside, Ke Ling has a hostile attitude towards Lian Bing. I’m afraid they might clash, and if I anger my terrifying girlfriend, Lian Bing might do something to hurt my younger sisters… No, in the worst-case scenario, they might hurt each other.
I truly hope that day never comes…
“Heh heh heh, I originally wanted to go on a date with Jun Cheng, but it seems I’ll have to choose another time.”
“A date…”
A date would definitely require money.
During our last date, Lian Bing paid for almost everything, which made me, a grown man, feel a bit embarrassed…
Although she probably wouldn’t care about such a small amount of money, that’s not the point.
What I should pay for, I should pay for.
But I’m out of cash.
Asking my parents for money to go on a date with my girlfriend… It’s really… Speaking of which, the last time I asked for their support when buying Lian Bing a birthday present was already awkward enough. Asking them for money again would be too much.
So what should I do?
Should I get a part-time job?
Anyway, I can skip Evening Study Session with the permission slip Lili gave me. Since that’s the case, I’ll find a suitable part-time job during this time.
“What’s wrong? Jun Cheng? What are you thinking about?”
“Ah, it’s nothing, just thinking if I should get a part-time job. After all, to buy this gift for you, I’ve spent all my savings.”
Lian Bing is still wearing the Magatama I gave her, and she seems to treasure it greatly, which makes me happy and also relieved.
Because she’s wearing this Magatama, she won’t be possessed by ghosts anymore.
I never want to experience that again…
“I think it would be better if I provided the money for the date.”
Lian Bing suddenly smiled and reached into her collar. With a jiggle of her chest, she pulled out the Magatama from her cleavage and held it in her hand.
Just looking at it, I could tell it must be quite warm… Well, it’s buried deep in there…
“Heh heh heh~ I’m actually happy for Jun Cheng to borrow money from me? I mean, no matter how much you borrow, I’ll satisfy you, and without interest?”
“Wow, don’t tempt me, I can’t resist temptation…”
Well, in every sense of the word, I can’t resist temptation.
“What if you owe me so much you can never repay it in this lifetime…? Perhaps then…”
Damn it, my eyes are glued to her chest.
“Heh heh heh~ Then you can repay me with your body? ‘
Lian Bing said with a teasing smile, deliberately parting her breasts to meet my gaze.
This enchantress.
I swallowed hard, I thought.
…Forget it. I’ll find a part-time job. And next time, how about I decide the date and route?”
“Hmph, well, I’ll endure it for a little while. I have some things to do today, so I’ll be going back first. Jun Cheng, I’ll be looking forward to you taking me out.”
“Your anticipation puts Immense Pressure on me—”
I don’t know if I can satisfy a young lady like you.
“As long as I’m with Jun Cheng, I’ll be happy no matter where we go… Hmm, is this another answer that increases my favorability?”
“If you didn’t add the last sentence, it would be.”
“That’s my honest feeling!”
“I know, I know.”
“Heh heh heh… Then I’ll see you tomorrow, Jun Cheng.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow…”
Actually, I had already noticed it. Lian Bing’s car and Miss Shirley were waiting nearby. Perhaps Lian Bing had prior commitments.
But despite that, she made time to come and welcome my discharge.
I felt a little touched.
I waved goodbye to her, and Miss Shirley in the distance smiled and bowed to me in greeting.
After watching Lian Bing leave, I continued on my way.
First, I’ll head home to drop off my things, and then I’ll look for a suitable part-time job…
…”
Standing by a utility pole around the corner was a figure. She slightly turned her head to look at me.
Thinking for a moment, I walked over.
Seeing me approach, she stepped out from behind the utility pole.
She clasped her hands in front of her and bowed respectfully to me.
“Jun Cheng, big brother.”
It was Yuhui Bai.
