Qin Changqing lay in the intensive care unit, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, and at this moment, he couldn't help but admire the ancient wisdom of the past.
It had already been ten days since he was admitted to the hospital. Xiao Yun had been thoroughly frightened by Xiao Yan's alarming words and deeply reflected on the consequences of her "driving accident." Since then, she had obediently stayed by Qin Changqing's side, not daring to go anywhere.
Qin Changqing found her "unique" way of caring for him both amusing and exasperating. Every day, he was moved to tears—could this girl be any more outrageous?!
She managed to burn her own hand while pouring hot water for him; she cut her finger while peeling an apple; and when she pushed his wheelchair out for a stroll, she ended up crashing into a tree...
Her clumsiness was truly baffling, and he couldn't help but wonder who really needed looking after here.
Suddenly, footsteps approached from outside. Qin Changqing quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Xiao Yun gently pushed the door open and, seeing him sound asleep, tiptoed into the room.
To be fair, Xiao Yun was indeed a good girl—she was beautiful, came from a wealthy family, had good character, and was gentle in nature. It was just that her hands and feet were a bit too clumsy. Although she had been making great efforts to improve, the results were... well...
"Ouch!" Xiao Yun suddenly tripped over something on the floor, losing her balance like a wobbling toy and crashing onto the bed, nearly causing Qin Changqing to "spit blood." This was simply outrageous! He lay there motionless and yet found himself in such an unexpected predicament!
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Seeing him suddenly open his eyes and glare at her, Xiao Yun hurriedly scrambled to her feet and backed away. In her haste, she accidentally knocked over a chair, which then bumped into a cabinet. The glass cups on the cabinet wobbled precariously, threatening to fall. Panicking, Xiao Yun rushed over to save the cups; although she managed to catch them, the bag she was holding tore open, spilling its contents all over the floor...
Qin Changqing could only facepalm in despair and sighed, "I really doubt how you've managed to stay safe until now..."
After spending ten days together, they had grown quite familiar with each other. Xiao Yun was known for her good temper; as she scrambled to pick up the scattered items while laughing foolishly, she said, "Haha, my brother also says it's a miracle that I’m still alive..."
Qin Changqing's keen eyes quickly spotted that the scattered items were all thick books. The titles left him speechless—"How To Become A Noblewoman," "Teach You How to Capture His Heart,"...
Qin Changqing's mouth fell open in surprise as he almost lost his pitch: "Marrying Into Wealth in a Hundred Easy Steps? Why... why are you reading these books?"
Xiao Yun's face instantly flushed bright red, resembling a ripe tomato. She stammered for a long time before finally whispering, "I... I want to go on a blind date..."
"Ah?" Qin Changqing blinked, pretending not to have heard clearly. "I didn't catch that. Could you say it again?"
"I mean a blind date! I'm going to attend a Blind Date Tea Party!" Her voice suddenly dropped again, sounding pitiful. "Please... don't tell my brother..."
Remembering how Xiao Yan had asked him to pretend to be sick to keep Xiao Yun occupied, Qin Changqing suddenly understood but was still puzzled. "What's wrong with blind dates? Is your brother really that opposed to you going?"
Xiao Yun fell silent. Xiao Yan had always doted on her, but he adamantly opposed this particular matter. They had even had a big fight over it before, resulting in Xiao Yun crying and leaving home late at night, driving while sobbing and not paying attention to the road, which led her to "crash" into Qin Changqing...
"My brother says my motives for the blind date aren't pure because the person I'm meeting is very wealthy." Xiao Yun sighed deeply, and for the first time, Qin Changqing saw her looking so troubled. "Honestly, I just want to marry into a wealthy family and help my brother."
The Xiao family lost their parents early, leaving the siblings to rely on each other and grow up through hardships. Although they could live comfortably off their parents' inheritance, money would eventually run out.
To prevent Xiao Yun from suffering, Xiao Yan resolutely gave up his passion for music and turned to the business world.
After struggling in the business arena for several years, Xiao Yan had achieved some minor successes, but in such a treacherous and competitive environment, it was incredibly challenging to get things done without a strong backing.
Just a month ago, Xiao Yun received an invitation to a Blind Date Tea Party and decided to pursue this path of arranged marriage to help her brother establish connections and find support.
"It seems that many single heiresses in the business circle received invitations from that person, so I have to work hard!" Xiao Yun clenched her fists, looking determined as if she were saying, "Study hard and strive for excellence," believing that only then would she have a chance of being chosen!
Qin Changqing's lips twitched slightly as he inwardly scoffed: A whole crowd of socialites invited? This situation is reminiscent of ancient times when selecting concubines!
"Do you know that blind date?" His curiosity was piqued, eager to find out who had such influence to stir up so much commotion.
"I don't know him, but I've heard the name," Xiao Yun said, furrowing her brow as she tried to recall. "His name is Xiang Xiaotian."
"Xiang Xiaotian?" Qin Changqing nearly fell off the bed, almost screaming, "Is it him?!"
"Huh? You know him?"
"Ah..." Qin Changqing scratched his head, laughing awkwardly. "Well... I've met him a few times before..."
He scrutinized Xiao Yun from head to toe, shook his head, and bluntly stated, "I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but you're definitely not his type. It would be pointless for you to go."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun wilted like a frostbitten eggplant. After a long silence, she softly replied, "But I still want to go."
Though her voice was quiet, it carried an unwavering strength. "Everyone hopes to make their family’s life a little better, right? My brother has been the one supporting us all this time; now it's my turn to try."
Qin Changqing was momentarily stunned by her words. A soft string in his heart was quietly tugged, and distant memories surged forth like a tide. He opened his mouth and heard himself say, "Perhaps... I can help you."
"Huh?" Xiao Yun looked at him in surprise.
"Since you're going to participate, it makes sense to win, right?" Qin Changqing's lips curled into a confident smile, his bright eyes crescent-shaped. "Trust me; it will be worth it."
