Chapter 59: Lin Qingzhi’s Heart Moves

In the next few days,

Wang Haoran visited the hospital every day to accompany Lin Qingzhi. As Lin Qingzhi’s condition improved, he even transferred her to a hospital controlled by the Wang family under the pretext of “helping her leg strength recover.”

Lin Qingzhi gradually got used to Wang Haoran’s constant presence and assistance.

Just like today, she was walking slowly with Wang Haoran’s support.

Since it was her first time walking in two years, Lin Qingzhi wobbled, occasionally leaning on Wang Haoran, her cheeks flushing.

But seeing Wang Haoran’s sincere, joyful smile because she could walk, Lin Qingzhi silently scolded herself.

However, she didn’t realize that if Wang Haoran truly had no ulterior motives, he could have just called a nurse to help her. Why would he personally assist?

After about half an hour of stumbling around, Wang Haoran helped Lin Qingzhi back into her wheelchair and pushed her back to her room.

As Wang Haoran was about to leave, Lin Qingzhi suddenly called out to him.

“Haoran, can you… do me a favor?”

Lin Qingzhi hesitated, feeling awkward just using his name.

Reason told her not to trouble Wang Haoran further, but deep down, she was growing more dependent on him.

Weak from her condition and influenced by Wang Haoran’s dedicated care, her emotions overpowered her reason, making her speak hesitantly.

Hearing her, Wang Haoran immediately returned.

“Of course, just tell me!”

“It’s just to return something…”

Lin Qingzhi handed a key to Wang Haoran.

“Under the counter in the shop, there are two boxes with a bunch of gold and silver jewelry. Please take them to the ‘Stars and Sea’ restaurant across the street and give them to a waiter named Zhao Dong!”

“Tell him I don’t care for his surprises!”

“And tell him not to come looking for me again!”

“If he insists, just… just tell him I already have a boyfriend!”

After saying this, Lin Qingzhi’s face turned red.

Wang Haoran was shocked, “Boyfriend? Qingzhi, you have a boyfriend?!”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s confused look, Lin Qingzhi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Of course not!”

“But… if you’re willing to help me all the way… you can say you’re… my boyfriend…”

Her voice got quieter and more embarrassed, and she hurriedly explained.

“This way, Zhao Dong will feel ashamed and stop bothering me!”

“So that’s it. No problem!” Wang Haoran sighed in relief.

“Leave it to me!”

***

Wang Haoran drove to the flower shop, took the two boxes of jewelry, and returned them to their rightful place.

He planned to have them sold to avoid future complications.

After handing the items to his subordinates, he suddenly saw a familiar back.

Driving over, he lowered the window.

“Shuang’er!”

Hearing the call, Liu Yunshuang turned and saw Wang Haoran, her voice filled with joy.

“Haoran, why are you here to see me?”

Wang Haoran got out, hugged Liu Yunshuang, then looked at the man and woman beside her.

The girl looked at Wang Haoran with great interest, hugging Liu Yunshuang and teasing.

“Jie, is this brother-in-law? So handsome!”

Liu Yunshuang patted her hand affectionately and introduced them.

“Yes, he is your brother-in-law, Wang Haoran.”

She then looked at Wang Haoran.

“Haoran, this is my third uncle’s daughter, Liu Xinyao, and this is her boyfriend, Xu Anlin!”

“Nice to meet you, brother-in-law!” Liu Xinyao smiled, and Xu Anlin also greeted politely.

Liu Yunshuang continued.

“Yao Yao and her boyfriend both got into S University, so they came to S City during the summer break to check out the school.”

“Haoran, if you have time, join us?”

“Sure!”

Wang Haoran agreed but was deep in thought.

Liu Xinyao was beautiful and lively, but Xu Anlin looked average.

Moreover, Xu Anlin’s confidence, reflected in his gaze while greeting, was hard to miss.

It wasn’t that confidence was bad, but his confidence seemed to scream, “I will surpass you in the future!” This kind of confidence usually came from having a strong belief in oneself.

Wang Haoran also sensed a hint of hostility.

Why?

This should be their first meeting, right?

[Future Development, Super Memory]

“Okay, case solved, he’s a protagonist.”

With an initial -75 trust rating, there had to be some major grudge.

But what caught Wang Haoran’s attention was the phrase “back to high school.”

“System, is he also reborn?”

[…Probably not…]

“But I can guess the plot just from the title! This guy probably went bankrupt in the future, despaired, drank, jumped off a building or something, then blacked out and suddenly woke up the day before high school exams!”

“I bet he woke up on his desk, first confused, then ecstatic, and finally swore to fix his regrets!”

[Host, it’s definitely not rebirth. Think about it —]

[You’ve reset the world five times and tired out the Heavenly Dao. How could it waste its power to reset the world just for the protagonist?]

“…Explain properly…”

[…The system means, the Heavenly Dao can’t reset the world again after five times. It wouldn’t waste power resetting the world just for a protagonist.]

[The system believes the protagonist obtained a memory that wasn’t originally his, and he mistook it for the future.]

[Thus, his golden finger is “future development,” not actual memories of the future.]

“…Makes sense… but not much difference…”

“Seeing the -75 trust, he likely thinks I made him go bankrupt in his memory…”

“Whatever, no choice, time to deal with him!”
