Revenge on the Ruthless CEO - Chapter 64 - The Unsalted Soup

Murong Xiaowei heard his laughter and opened her eyes to find herself in his arms. She said, “Please let me go.”

Feng Yanxin quickly released her and asked with concern, “Can you walk?”

Hearing Feng Yanxin’s question, Murong Xiaowei felt a sharp pain in her foot and realized she indeed couldn’t walk.

Thinking of this, Murong Xiaowei gave Feng Yanxin an apologetic smile and said, “I can’t walk.”

Feng Yanxin suggested, “Do you need me to carry you back?”

Without a second thought, Murong Xiaowei answered, “That’s not necessary, it’s not really appropriate.”

Feng Yanxin said, “What’s inappropriate about it? We are classmates, we should help each other.”

Feng Yanxin squatted down and said, “Come on, get on.” Murong Xiaowei hesitated, “Um, this…”

Feng Yanxin insisted, “Don’t hesitate, your foot is injured, and we need to get it treated at the hospital quickly.”

Initially reluctant, Murong Xiaowei finally agreed to let Feng Yanxin carry her to the hospital after his persuasion.

At the hospital, after her wound was treated, Murong Xiaowei said to Feng Yanxin, “Thank you.”

Feng Yanxin responded, “We’re classmates; there’s no need to be so polite.”

Murong Xiaowei asked, “Yanxin, why don’t you resent me for not accepting you? On the contrary, you’re so nice to me.”

Feng Yanxin replied, “I told you, we’re friends. You didn’t accept me as your boyfriend, but we’re still friends and should help each other.”

Moved, Murong Xiaowei said, “Yanxin, you really are so good to me. I’m so grateful to have a friend like you.”

Feng Yanxin said, “Alright, take good care of yourself. I have to go.”

Murong Xiaowei said, “Okay, be careful on your way.” Feng Yanxin smiled at Murong Xiaowei and then left.

Murong Xiaowei felt an urge in her heart, an urge to give Feng Yanxin a hug.

Having a boy who likes her so much, Murong Xiaowei felt a great sense of fulfillment in her heart!

Feng Yanxin was walking down the street when he saw Yin Zhichen and greeted him.

Yin Zhichen saw him and asked, “Why are you here? At this time, shouldn’t you be at the seaside painting?”

Feng Yanxin replied, “Something happened. Murong Xiaowei injured her foot.”

Alarmed, Yin Zhichen asked, “She got injured? How did it happen? Is it serious?”

Feng Yanxin explained, “She accidentally stepped on a sharp rock by the sea, but she’s in the hospital now. A few days of rest, and she’ll be fine.”

Yin Zhichen sighed in relief, “That’s just like her. As long as she’s alright… But, did you two go to the seaside together?”

Feng Yanxin clarified, “No, I just ran into her there and we chatted for a bit.”

Yin Zhichen puzzled, “You went to the seaside to paint, but did she go there to get hurt by rocks?”

Wasn’t she being too careless? Doesn’t she know it’s dangerous to go to the seaside alone?

If she really wanted to go, she could have let him know. He could have accompanied her, stayed by her side, and protected her!

Feng Yanxin explained, “No, she went to collect shells and ended up getting hurt. She didn’t even bring back any shells and is quite upset.”

Yin Zhichen remarked, “This frumpy girl risked her life for some shells.”

Feng Yanxin advised, “Just say it here, but don’t mention it when you see her.”

Yin Zhichen insisted, “Why shouldn’t I say it? It’s clearly her fault.”

By the way, I wonder how Murong Xiaowei is doing now.

Feng Yanxin helplessly patted his shoulder and said, “I have to go.”

Yin Zhichen thought for a moment and then cooked some chicken soup and took it to the hospital where Murong Xiaowei was staying. Murong Xiaowei was initially startled.

Yin Zhichen placed the pot of chicken soup on the table next to Murong Xiaowei and sat in front of her. Noticing her strange look, Yin Zhichen asked, “Murong Xiaowei, what are you looking at?”

Murong Xiaowei snapped out of her thoughts and said, “Nothing, I just find it strange.”

Yin Zhichen asked, “What’s strange?” Murong Xiaowei replied, “I’m curious about how you ended up here.”

Yin Zhichen said, “You want to know how I found out you were hospitalized, right? Let me tell you, Yanxin told me.”

Murong Xiaowei responded, “Oh, it was him. I should have thought of that. But why are you here?”

Yin Zhichen explained, “What could I do? I heard you were injured, so I personally brought you some chicken soup.”

Murong Xiaowei was incredulous, “You brought chicken soup? I really didn’t see that coming.”

Yin Zhichen poured a little chicken soup into a small bowl and fed her a spoonful.

Murong Xiaowei shook her head and said, “I don’t have to drink this, right? Drinking it won’t guarantee I’ll get better.”

Yin Zhichen said, “What are you talking about? This is my gesture of goodwill. If you don’t drink a little, you’ll waste my effort.”

Having no choice, Murong Xiaowei took a sip, and immediately regretted it.

What kind of chicken soup was this? It had no flavor at all. Did he forget to add salt?

Or did he purposely leave out the salt just to make fun of her?

Seeing Murong Xiaowei’s expressionless face, Yin Zhichen curiously asked, “How does it taste?”

Murong Xiaowei hesitated, “I think it’s quite good, it’s just that the taste is… a bit bland.”

“Really?” Yin Zhichen then tasted a bit himself, and found that, indeed, it still had no flavor.

He almost spit it out in front of Murong Xiaowei but managed to swallow it with difficulty.

Murong Xiaowei widened her sparkling eyes and asked, “So? Isn’t it true that it has no taste at all?”

Yin Zhichen coughed a few times and said, “I think it’s fine, no problem at all.”

Murong Xiaowei, unconvinced, said, “No problem? There’s not even any salt. Nobody could eat this.”

Yin Zhichen retorted, “Hey, I made this chicken soup with good intentions, and you don’t appreciate it.”

Murong Xiaowei replied, “I don’t need your good intentions. Luckily, you didn’t put any salt in it.”

“Why?” Yin Zhichen asked, puzzled, “What are you trying to say?”

Murong Xiaowei explained, “Think about it, if you had put too much salt, I would have been thirsty from the salty soup. Considering that, I have to thank you for not adding any salt.”

Yin Zhichen said, “Your so-called gratitude is breaking my heart.”

Murong Xiaowei said, “At this point, don’t worry about it anymore.”

Yin Zhichen said, “I’ll let it go this time because your foot isn’t healed yet.”

Murong Xiaowei, annoyed, threw a pillow at him and said, “I just got admitted to the hospital. Do you think I’ll heal that fast, you blockhead?”

Yin Zhichen responded, “What blockhead? I’m just hoping you’ll recover soon.”

Murong Xiaowei said, “You can hope for my recovery, but you shouldn’t expect it to happen right after I got admitted, right?”

Yin Zhichen said, “Looking at you, it seems like you don’t really want to get better quickly!”

Murong Xiaowei said, “What are you talking about? Of course, I want to heal, but I won’t rush it; I just want to let it happen naturally.”

Yin Zhichen said, “So, do you still want to drink the chicken soup? If you do, then finish it.”

“Stop,” Murong Xiaowei interrupted, “Spare me. I don’t want to drink this anymore.”

Yin Zhichen said, “Drink it or not, it’s up to you. I’m leaving now. I’ll visit you another day.”

Murong Xiaowei said cheerfully, “Alright, you can go now. Bye, see you.”

Yin Zhichen, a bit annoyed, said, “Are you that happy to see me leave? You really don’t like me, do you?”

Murong Xiaowei said, “I never liked you. You can choose to give up on me now.”

Yin Zhichen replied, “Murong Xiaowei, if you keep talking about this, I won’t let it go. I’ve never given up on the people and things I like.”

Murong Xiaowei said, “Yes, yes, whatever you say goes. I’m done trying to convince you.”

After all, she knew in her heart that talking with him was pointless, like talking to a wall.

Yin Zhichen said, “I won’t argue with you anymore. I’m leaving. Take care of yourself.”

Murong Xiaowei nodded helplessly and said, “Yeah, I know. My throat hurts, so I don’t want to talk much. Bye!”

Yin Zhichen gazed at Murong Xiaowei with affection one last time and then reluctantly left.
