“If you’re really suspicious about your relationship with him, why don’t you secretly check what contact name he set for you? Come to think of it, you two used to get along so badly it didn’t seem like an act. What if he’s deliberately messing with you now that you’ve lost your memory?”
“What kind of person would deliberately mess with someone and still stay up all night with them when they got into trouble, order takeout, and take care of them for an entire night?”
“If he didn’t act convincingly enough, Yingying wouldn’t believe it.”
“I think…”
“…”
That was almost overlooked.
Half-listening to the chatter in the hospital room, Jiang He leaned his left shoulder against the wall and held his phone in one hand, searching for “nicknames girls hate most during the honeymoon phase.” He skimmed through page after page.
After studying it for quite a while, he confidently opened his contacts, found the entry labeled Yu Yingying, and tapped to edit the nickname.
【Wife】.
Reason for rejection: We’re not even married yet—calling her wife is so weird.
【Sweetheart】.
Reason for rejection: Everyone calls their girlfriend honey or sweetheart. Can you be a bit more creative? So tacky.
【Girl】.
Reason for rejection: No need to explain greasy “girl” talk, right? Yuck~
By the time he reached the last one, even Jiang He felt like throwing up.
It really was greasy.
He was almost at his limit, even sensing a tragic feeling of “hurting the enemy by a thousand, injuring yourself by eight hundred.”
Just as he hesitated over whether to switch back to the previous, slightly more normal 【Sweetheart】, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. His hand slipped, and the phone smashed onto the floor.
“Ah—sorry!” The nurse looked embarrassed and hurriedly picked up the phone to check if it was broken. As she checked, she caught sight of the screen, her pupils shaking violently. “Girl… tsk…”
“…?”
The anger in Jiang He’s eyes slowly froze.
He never imagined that the ultimate secondhand embarrassment would start with him.
The nurse looked at him as if she were looking at a macaque.
“Well, um, thanks for the takeout last night. I saw you leaning here and wanted to say hello. You… you’re carrying so many boxed meals—are you here to bring lunch to your girlfriend?” the nurse chatted awkwardly.
“……”
Jiang He said, “Yes.”
“Sorry, uh… you should go in.” The nurse fled in a flash.
Hearing voices at the door and not knowing what was going on, Yu Qing and Jian Mei followed the sound and walked out.
When they met Jiang He’s gaze, they were first startled. Then, seeing the several large bags of boxed meals in his hands, they exchanged a glance, both looking a little awkward.
They hadn’t expected Jiang He to have gone out to buy food.
Had he heard what they were just talking about?
Yu Qing nudged Jian Mei with her elbow. Jian Mei forced a fake smile and nudged Yu Qing back. The two let out a few awkward “heh heh” laughs. In the end, Yu Qing spoke first, smiling so wide that eight teeth showed.
“Jiang He, are you here to bring food for Yingying?”
Jiang He also let out a “heh heh.” “No, I’m here to send her to her grave.”
Yu Qing: “…Heh heh.”
Jian Mei: “…Ha ha.”
The two said in unison, “You’re really humorous.”
“I’m not humorous. I’m cold.”
With a sour face, Jiang He strode past them into the hospital room, slammed the boxed meals heavily onto the table, turned around, and left, not wanting to stay a second longer.
Yu Yingying was completely confused. First she was surprised that Jiang He had come back, then left again. Seeing the strange expressions on Yu Qing’s and Jian Mei’s faces, she asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Qing said, “The sky has fallen.”
Jian Mei said, “You’re done for.”
The two said in unison, “Your boyfriend is angry.”
Yu Yingying slowly typed out a question mark in her head.
What? Why?
