The students and teachers of Class Eight looked at Chen Yina in surprise, doubting that she had gone mad due to her excessive sadness over Chen Haoxuan. Otherwise, why would she smile so happily upon hearing that Chen Haoxuan had died?
The teacher on the podium shook his head and sighed as he saw Chen Yina smiling so joyfully. "Alas, what a wonderful pair they were! One dead, one gone mad; such is the tragedy of life."
After finishing her laughter, Chen Yina explained to her classmates that Chen Haoxuan was not dead. Upon hearing this, their faces lit up with happy smiles. In the past, they might not have cared much about Chen Haoxuan because he was too ordinary. Although he was handsome, he was also overly low-key. However, things were different for Chen Haoxuan lately; even the school beauty had shown interest in him, and he boldly rejected her confession right in front of her. He was also busy with business, becoming more charming and successful by the day.
Moreover, after his heroic act two days ago, many people began to pay attention to him. Some infatuated girls secretly vowed not to marry anyone but Chen Haoxuan, though it remained to be seen how long their promises would last.
To prevent any misunderstandings about Chen Haoxuan's death, Chen Yina posted information on all major websites confirming that he was alive. Many concerned netizens began to inquire about Chen Haoxuan's condition. Chen Yina answered every question and inadvertently revealed the hospital where Chen Haoxuan was located. This caused quite a stir, as many girls who admired him rushed to the hospital, and media outlets were eager to cover the story.
Meanwhile, Chen Haoxuan was unaware of the crowd heading to his hospital room. After reading the news, he turned to Zhou Kexin and noticed her red eyes filled with tears, her lips trembling as drops of tears rolled down like pearls. "What's wrong?" Chen Haoxuan asked in confusion; she had seemed fine just moments ago.
"Chen Haoxuan, thank you," Zhou Kexin said with a choked voice.
Chen Haoxuan was taken aback but soon understood that it was because he had saved her. "No need to be polite; saving people is my duty because I am a hero," he joked.
"Chen Haoxuan," Zhou Kexin called softly.
"Yes? What is it?" Chen Haoxuan asked curiously.
"I like you," Zhou Kexin suddenly confessed, a statement she hadn't expected to say herself. Although she had always liked him, she never had the courage to admit it until now. After saying it, she nervously watched Chen Haoxuan's reaction; if he said he liked her too, she would be ready to leap into his arms. If he rejected her, she would cover her face and continue crying.
Chen Haoxuan's response left Zhou Kexin furious as he chuckled lightly and said, "Oh come on—here we go again! Now that you have no suitors around, you still come back? Aren't you tired of this?"
“Chen Haoxuan, you need to take me seriously. I'm not joking; I really like you. I've liked you for a long time. Will you be my boyfriend?” Zhou Kexin said earnestly.
“You can't be serious, can you?” Chen Haoxuan asked in disbelief.
Zhou Kexin stood up, stamped her foot, and said playfully, “Do I look like I'm joking?”
“Ah, I just remembered something. I need to go buy something to eat,” Chen Haoxuan said as he stood up, stammered, and then turned to leave.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan deliberately making an excuse to leave, Zhou Kexin cried. With a trembling voice, she shouted at his back, “Chen Haoxuan, I like you! I really like you! I will make you fall in love with me.”
Chen Haoxuan did not turn back; he just left. Zhou Kexin felt sad. She squatted down, covered her face with her hands, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed quietly. Her frail shoulders shook as she muttered, “Why? Why? Why don’t you like me...?”
Two minutes later, Chen Haoxuan returned with a smile. Zhou Kexin thought he had come to his senses. She stood up and looked at him with tear-filled eyes, asking in a choked voice, “Did you agree to be my boyfriend?”
“Well, actually! I wanted to go out to buy something to eat, but then a crowd showed up outside—reporters, students, citizens... They all came looking for us. I couldn’t get out, so I came back,” Chen Haoxuan said while scratching the back of his head and smiling foolishly.
Zhou Kexin's expression fell in disappointment. She had hoped that Chen Haoxuan returned so quickly because he wanted to be with her; instead, he was forced back by the crowd.
Perhaps it was because Chen Haoxuan was too handsome or Zhou Kexin was too beautiful; many people came to see them, filling the hospital corridor. Some latecomers found it difficult to enter the hospital and had to wait outside.
The director of the People's Hospital felt helpless. If this continued, his position as director would be at risk. Out of desperation, he went to Chen Haoxuan's Deluxe Ward and pleaded with them to step outside and disperse the crowd.
Chen Haoxuan also felt sorry for the People's Hospital and even more so for the patients. So he and Zhou Kexin went outside to help restore normal operations at the hospital. Chen Haoxuan first expressed his gratitude loudly and then answered many questions from the media. This lasted for an hour, after which Chen Haoxuan grabbed Zhou Kexin's hand and ran away.
They were scared away because many kind-hearted people sent them a lot of nutritional supplements. If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but with thousands of people sending gifts, they ended up with sore hands from receiving them, not to mention actually taking them. Moreover, Chen Haoxuan and Zhou Kexin couldn't consume that much, so Chen Haoxuan wisely took Zhou Kexin back to the hospital.
The People's Hospital quieted down. After returning to the Deluxe Ward, Chen Haoxuan lay down and fell asleep. He didn't know how to face Zhou Kexin. He still liked her quite a bit; after all, she was beautiful and wealthy. However, he was a man, and a very strong-willed one at that. Although he had a delicate appearance, he didn't want to be seen as a kept man. He didn't want to start a relationship without anything to offer.
As her boyfriend, he wanted to give her happiness, not make her suffer alongside him. This was Chen Haoxuan's principle in life.
Chen Haoxuan went to sleep in his room, while Zhou Kexin wanted to go to his room as well but lacked the courage. She was afraid of upsetting Chen Haoxuan; if that happened, they might not even remain friends.
Sometimes people are like this; the more unattainable something is, the more they desire it. This is just how it works. Lying on her bed, Zhou Kexin unconsciously reminisced about the time spent with Chen Haoxuan.
