A female character in a book, regaining her luck

Chapter 80: Dr. Lu’s Pretend to be Dead

When Mu Chaosheng was looking through Shang Xin's information, he heard a rustling sound.

When she looked up, she saw the heavy rain outside the window.

Just at this moment, the phone vibrated.

She picked up her phone and took a look. It was a text message from Lu Huanchu.

He asked her where she was and what she was doing.

Mu Chaosheng frowned and looked for a while.

During the time that Lu Huanchu was not in Sanchuan City, apart from occasionally sending her a message, there was almost no other news from her.

She was a little worried at first, but then she felt relieved when she found out he was just busy with work.

She knew that Lu Huanchu had his own plans and ideals, and she didn't expect him to think about her all the time.

She said that if he didn't have time, he didn't need to contact her deliberately.

Otherwise, she would have felt that Lu Huanchu contacting her was like completing a task.

But he would appear irregularly like today, like a zombie.

Not only that, the questions he asked were almost exactly the same every time, asking her where she was and what she was doing, like an emotionless checking-up machine.

This made her feel even more that Lu Huanchu was completing a mission by contacting her.

So after Mu Chaosheng saw Lu Huanchu's message, he felt inexplicably anxious and didn't want to reply to his message at all.

But she suppressed this willful emotion and replied simply with four words: work from home.

As soon as she sent the message, she received a reply from Lu Huanchu, which was equally brief: "Pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

Mu Chaosheng rolled his eyes when he saw it for the first time, sighed, and put his phone on the table.

She began to recall the opportunity that brought her together with Lu Huanchu, and recalled every time she had come into contact with Lu Huanchu after she came here.

After all the memories were over, a thought came into Mu Chaosheng's mind:

Was her decision to be with Lu Huanchu too rash? Her relationship with him might have been just a momentary impulse.

But this thought did not make her feel relieved, but instead made her anxious mood even heavier.

Mu Chaosheng couldn't help but pick up his phone and start looking at it again.

She read through all the information Lu Huanchu gave her, from beginning to end, from end to beginning, over and over again.

It seemed that only such mechanical and repetitive movements could make her feel a little relaxed.

Suddenly, the sliding fingers stopped and stopped at a conversation between her and Lu Huanchu.

There was a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes as he looked at the phone, as if he had discovered a secret.

The stopped finger started to slide again, but this time the speed was very slow, not as random as before.

She carefully read the time of every message Lu Huanchu sent and the content of the conversation.

Mu Chaosheng suddenly realized that it was raining in Sanchuan City every time he sent her a message.

Is this a coincidence?

Or maybe it was because it was raining that he sent her the message.

After carefully reading all the information several times, Mu Chaosheng did not think this was a coincidence.

But why?

Could it be that Lu Huanchu thought that she would be freer on rainy days and could spare some time to chat with him without delaying her work?

But looking through all the messages exchanged between the two, there were no long conversations at all, just a few simple sentences each time.

Given this information, there's no need to go to such great lengths to find a rainy day.

Besides, rainy days don’t mean leisure.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Guessing was the most energy-consuming thing. Mu Chaosheng closed his eyes and sighed.

She didn't want to disturb Lu Huanchu because of her little doubts when he needed to concentrate on his work.

Wait until he finishes his work temporarily and returns to Sanchuan City before asking him!

After reading Shang Xin's information, it was already dark.

Mu Chaosheng called Liu Jiangfeng and asked about Mu Xingjian's arrangements, and learned that he would be back today.

Mu Xingjian is the same as before, occasionally staying here and occasionally returning to the Mu residence. Except for returning to the Mu residence on the last day of every month, his other schedules are not particularly regular.

That's why Mu Chaosheng went to ask Liu Jiangfeng.

Knowing that Mu Xingjian would come back, she started cooking.

In fact, when Mu Xingjian comes back, he is the one who cooks.

According to her observation, Mu Xingjian's arms were not very flexible whenever the weather was wet and cold, just like what she had seen in the hospital before.

Whenever his arm was inconvenient, Mu Xingjian's frequency of appearing in front of her would drop sharply, as if he was deliberately avoiding her.

It's raining today, so if nothing unexpected happens, his arm should be feeling uncomfortable.

In this case, Mu Chaosheng naturally had to take on the responsibility of cooking.

At first, she could sense from Mu Xingjian's reaction that he was very uncomfortable and even a little resistant.

Later, as it happened more and more often, she noticed that besides his discomfort, there was also a hint of happiness in his expression.

She once consulted a doctor, who told her that there are many reasons for this condition, and only by seeing a doctor in person can the cause be determined.

Here, she had seen the outer packaging of some medicines, and she guessed that it was most likely a problem with the arm joint.

But Mu Xingjian is young and has no shortage of medical resources, so how could he have such serious joint problems?

Why would such serious joint problems be related to her?

If his illness was really caused by her, why did Mu Xingjian still have such deep love for his sister?

Mu Chaosheng was cooking while thinking, and he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the sound of the door opening.

As soon as Mu Xingjian entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of food, and satisfaction and happiness filled his whole body.

The usual aura of being admirable from afar but not approachable was mostly dissipated by the steam from the food, and now it looks much more approachable.

Mu Chaosheng served some of the food and placed it on the table, and put the rest into the food box.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Mu Xingjian asked casually.

"I haven't been to the hospital for many days. Today I have time, so I'll go to the hospital to see Qin Shi and her daughter. When I get to the hospital, I'll just eat with them."

The rain outside had subsided, but Mu Xingjian was still worried.

"I'll ask Secretary Liu to take you there."

"Secretary Liu is off work now, so don't bother him. I don't want to be an annoying juicer!"
