Xiao Yu

Binhai City People's Hospital. Chen Mo's body jolted, and he opened his eyes on the bed, his gaze blank.

Was everything just a dream?

Chen Mo felt a slight pain in his head. He discovered that there seemed to be an extra memory in his mind – the information from Low-Level Human Potential Development Technology.

The Sci-Tech Library is real? Chen Mo was delighted and closed his eyes again.

The hundred-meter-tall gate reappeared before him. White light engulfed him, and Chen Mo found himself in the familiar library.

Endless bookshelves, a sea of books.

It wasn't a dream!

Exiting the Sci-Tech Library, Chen Mo had a joyful expression on his face. The smell of disinfectant reached his nostrils, bringing Chen Mo back to his senses. He turned his head to look around.

This was a hospital room. His head still ached slightly. He touched it and found a bump there. Pressing it made Chen Mo gasp in pain.

Suddenly, Chen Mo felt a heavy sensation in his right hand. Looking at his arm, he saw a girl, sleeping with her head resting on his arm.

The girl from the library?

Chen Mo recognized her at a glance. It was the girl he had rushed over and hugged in the library.

He didn't move, afraid of waking the girl, and just let her rest there. Listening to the girl's breathing, at this moment, a ripple appeared in his long-closed heart.

After a while, Chen Mo felt movement in his arm. Looking towards his arm, he saw the girl also lifting her head and looking at him.

"You're awake." The girl quickly released Chen Mo's arm, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.

"Yeah." Chen Mo smiled and nodded, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Almost three days. The doctor said you had a slight concussion and are fine now. Thank you for saving me in the library."

"It's nothing."

Chen Mo looked at the girl's tired face, feeling a little heartache. "Have you been taking care of me here for the past three days?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded shyly, "Your teacher came to see you. The doctor said you were fine and would wake up after a while, so they didn't notify your family to avoid worrying them. They asked me to take care of you."

"Thank you." Chen Mo's gaze softened.

"It's what I should do. You saved me once," the girl said. "My name is He Xiaoyu, the 'yu' from fisherman. You can call me Xiao Yu."

"My name is Chen Mo, the 'mo' from silent."

Their eyes met, and Xiao Yu's cheeks became even redder. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Gurgle...

The sound of a protesting stomach broke the subtle atmosphere. Xiao Yu chuckled, and Chen Mo's face turned red, feeling a bit awkward.

"You've only been on glucose for the past two days and haven't eaten anything. I'll go buy you something to eat." Xiao Yu got up and left.

Chen Mo looked at his uncooperative stomach, feeling disappointed. You won't starve if you wait a bit.

Not long after, Xiao Yu returned with a bag. "You just woke up, so it's not good to eat anything too greasy. I just bought you a bowl of porridge. If it's not enough, I'll go buy more."

"Thank you." Chen Mo reached out to take it, but then realized he still had an IV drip in his left hand.

"I'll feed you."

Xiao Yu picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to Chen Mo's mouth. Her gentle movements made it feel like a girlfriend taking care of her boyfriend, making others envious.

Chen Mo was overjoyed, not expecting such treatment.

Xiao Yu fed him the porridge spoon by spoon. Chen Mo saw the guy in the next bed giving him an envious look and felt secretly pleased.

Their eyes met from time to time, and Xiao Yu's face was flushed with shyness.

This was the first time she had taken care of someone of the opposite sex, and for three consecutive days at that. Wiping his body and massaging him were all done by herself, which was why she was so tired.

The nurses all thought they were in a relationship.

But Chen Mo had saved her, and his family hadn't come, so she had to take care of him. Remembering how she had touched Chen Mo's body all over these past three days, Xiao Yu didn't dare to look him directly in the eye.

After feeding Chen Mo the porridge, Xiao Yu took out a stack of red bills from her bag and handed them to him.

"About the library incident, a girl was scared by the thunder and accidentally knocked over the bookshelf. That girl came to apologize, and this is the medical fee she compensated you, ten thousand yuan."

"Okay, just put it there. You're so tired, go back and rest first." Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu's tired eyes, feeling a little heartache.

Xiao Yu looked at Chen Mo, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she nodded, picked up her bag, and stood up.

"Are you coming back this afternoon?"

"Mm." Xiao Yu paused, her earlobes slightly red. Finally, she softly responded and quickly left.

Seeing Xiao Yu's retreating figure, Chen Mo was lost in thought. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he wished he could jump out of bed.

From Xiao Yu's reaction just now, he knew there was a chance. It had been a long time since he felt his heart flutter, and Xiao Yu made him feel that way.

A hero saving a beauty and gaining the beauty's favor – an old-fashioned plot, but it happened to him.

After feeling happy, Chen Mo lay back on the bed, thinking about human potential development.

That afternoon, Xiao Yu arrived as promised.

Chen Mo had also recovered. After a check-up confirmed he was fine, he completed the procedures and left the hospital.

"Let's go grab something to eat. I haven't eaten in three days, I need to treat myself well," Chen Mo said, rubbing his stomach.

"I'll treat you. You saved me, consider it a small token of gratitude." Xiao Yu stood beside Chen Mo, feeling a little constrained. Thinking back on the past few days taking care of Chen Mo, she felt a bit flustered.

"No need, I'll treat you. Thank you for taking care of me for three days." Chen Mo took out the money from earlier. "The compensation for that girl was a bit much. You can give the money back to her later. She's also a student, spending her family's money. Since it was an accident, paying for medical expenses is enough."

Chen Mo handed the remaining money to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked up at Chen Mo, took the money from his hand, and her gaze towards him changed slightly.

After a simple meal, Chen Mo also treated Xiao Yu to a movie. Chen Mo could feel that the distance between them was slowly closing in invisibly.

After seeing Xiao Yu back to her dorm, Chen Mo headed back to his own dorm alone.

He was very lucky today, getting the Sci-Tech Library and meeting a nice girl. He felt that his future was bright.

When he got back to the dorm, he found that the few "wolves" in his dorm weren't back, so he just lay down on his bed.

Not long after lying down, his phone's WeChat chimed. It was a message from Xiao Yu. Chen Mo eagerly opened it. He felt that his life had become exciting starting from today.

"I've already returned the money to that girl. She asked me to tell you she's sorry."

"It's fine. Maybe I should thank her for making my life more exciting." Chen Mo immediately replied, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the weekend. I'm going to the library. I took three days off, I need to catch up on my studies."

"Perfect, I also want to go to the library. Let's go together."

Chen Mo smiled, but he genuinely wanted to go.

Old Shu said that by studying 100 books on science and engineering and technology, he could obtain one technology. He had to study and be diligent to gain higher authority.

"Okay, I'll be there at 8 in the morning. You just got out of the hospital today, get some rest early."

In the girls' dorm, Xiao Yu put down her phone, her eyes filled with shyness, and a hint of joy on her lips. Suddenly, the phone in her hand was snatched away, and a face with a mischievous grin appeared in front of Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, your eyes are sparkling, and your face is flushed. You took three days off to take care of the hero who saved you. Is something good happening?"

"No, not... not really." Xiao Yu felt a little guilty. "Give me back my phone."

"Hehe, you're feeling guilty," the girl laughed. "The hero saving the beauty trope is very classic. Let me see your messages."

"Li Ruoxi, give me back my phone quickly." Xiao Yu immediately grabbed the girl and desperately tried to snatch her phone back.

"I should thank her for making my life more exciting. Tomorrow morning at 8, library, get some rest early. Our family's best cabbage is about to be taken."

"Ah, you dead Ruoxi, give me back my phone quickly."

Inside a girls' dorm at Binhai University, there was a burst of noise.
