Chapter 119 I'll Tie My Shoelaces


What do these two dishes mean? Obviously, it's already beyond words.

Chu Ge had a bit of regret. Although he knew regretting was useless, he still regretted that he shouldn't have softened his heart and taken this lunchbox.

Because this was no longer just a simple lunch; it was clearly Mo Xiaoran's intention and determination.

The potato shreds were cut very finely, almost matching his knife skills. Chu Ge really didn't know how Mo Xiaoran managed to do that.

There wasn't a single chili seed in the spicy diced tofu, which was obviously carefully picked out by Mo Xiaoran.

Smiling bitterly inside, Chu Ge took out the compartment with the dishes. As expected, the lower compartment was filled with fragrant, glossy white rice that was still steaming hot.

Suppressing the helplessness in his heart, Chu Ge looked up and smiled, "Xiaoran, where are the chopsticks?"

"Ah? Ah... I... I forgot. I'll go down and buy some right now."

Mo Xiaoran, who was staring at Chu Ge without blinking, waiting to see him eat the meal she made, suddenly realized upon Chu Ge's question that she had made such a low-level mistake by not bringing him chopsticks.

"No no, I'll just go out and get a pair. You sit tight."

Just as Chu Ge was about to get up, He Junming appeared at the door on crutches, "Bro, come eat at my place... Eh? You have guests here?"

Halfway through his words, He Junming realized there were so many people in the ward, and judging by their expressions, they seemed to have a good relationship with Chu Ge.

Chu Ge nodded, "Yeah, do you have chopsticks over there? Bring me a pair. Or maybe not, with your leg, I'll just go get them myself."

After smiling at the colleagues in the room, Chu Ge walked over to He Junming's side and went with him to his ward.

"Bro, I'd say you've got the peach blossom luck this year? How come you're always surrounded by beauties?"

"Jealous?"

"Yeah."

"It's no use being jealous, hahaha!"

In the hallway, the faint sound of the two chatting and laughing echoed. Inside the room, Ji Songtao and the others were a bit bewildered. However, despite their shocked expressions, they quickly returned to normal.

Through their encounters with Chu Ge, they had been so amazed by him that they became somewhat numb, subconsciously feeling that nothing seemed impossible for Chu Ge.

In less than a minute, Chu Ge returned to the room with chopsticks.

"Minister Ji, you all haven't eaten either, right? Why not have some fruit, take a break, and head back since you'll have to work later."

Although Chu Ge was pretty thick-skinned and quite hungry, having such a group of hungry colleagues watch him eat didn't sit well with him.

"No worries, you eat, and we'll sit for a bit before we leave."

"Alright then, I'll wait until you all leave to eat."

Placing the chopsticks next to the little bear lunchbox, Chu Ge looked over at Mo Xiaoran again.

"Xiaoran, after I finish, I'll clean the lunchbox for you and pass it back before you get off work this evening."

"No need, I'm not in a rush to use it. I'll just get it next time I come over." Mo Xiaoran quickly waved her hand.

While the two of them were talking, Lu Gang finished washing the fruits and came out of the bathroom, heading straight to Chu Ge's side.

"Bro, pick one first."

Chu Ge casually took an apple, said "Thanks," and started munching away.

After handing out the fruits, Lu Gang sat down next to Chu Ge, saying with a slightly frustrated tone, "Bro, wouldn't it be great if you weren't injured? Then you could participate in our company's corporate games. With your skills, our Operations Management Department could definitely shine again."

"Corporate games? Our company has such events?"

"Yeah, it was just announced this morning. Seems it's in response to a city initiative, but I'm not too sure about the exact timing and details of the corporate games either."

Lu Gang then turned to Ji Songtao, "Minister Ji, do you know more details? Can you share with us?"

Ji Songtao shook his head and chuckled, "All I know is without Chu Ge, this corporate games probably won't have much to do with our Operations Management Department."

Just as Ji Songtao finished speaking, Feifei also sighed 'mournfully,' "Oh, Chu Shao, why did you get injured at this time? Otherwise, we might have been able to see you in your splendid form on the competition field."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Chu Ge smiled awkwardly.

"When did I ever say I was good at sports? Besides, aren't such events about participation? You can sign up for a project just to have fun, and if you don't want to compete, you can just bring some snacks and enjoy watching others give it their all. Isn't that fun too?"

"Ah, Chu Shao is indeed Chu Shao. We can't compare to your level; it's a gap indeed! How about we sign you up for some events? If you can make it and your body allows, then participate; if not, no big deal, right?"

Seeing Feifei's exaggerated expression, Chu Ge felt speechless and said with a laugh, "Okay, you're teasing me. But why are you calling me by those two words again?"

"Anyway, there's no outsider here, don't worry, I've got it under control."

The people from the Operation Management Department sat in the ward for a while longer, all chatting about the company sports event, until they realized if they didn't leave soon, they would be late for work, and then they bid farewell to Chu Ge.

"Company sports event? Sounds interesting."

Seeing off his colleagues at the elevator, Chu Ge muttered to himself and returned to the ward to eat the meal Mo Xiaoran had brought him.

Have to admit, Mo Xiaoran's cooking skills are pretty good. At least, these two dishes taste way better than the ones from that little restaurant we ate at last time, and the rice is just the right texture, suiting Chu Ge's taste perfectly.

The only thing troubling Chu Ge is that he feels he can't let Mo Xiaoran continue like this. He must find an appropriate opportunity, without hurting her feelings, to make her give up on her thoughts about him.

"How should I talk to such a shy, introverted girl like Mo Xiaoran, or what should I do that would be appropriate..."

Swallowing the last bite of rice from the bear lunchbox, Chu Ge thought to himself.

After rinsing Mo Xiaoran's lunchbox at the sink and wiping it carefully with a napkin, Chu Ge looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and thought it was time for a stroll to enjoy the sun, and to return the lunchbox to Mo Xiaoran.

Changing into the clothes Qin Ruojing specially brought him yesterday, slipping the fully charged old phone and his house keys into his pocket, and holding Mo Xiaoran's little bear lunchbox, Chu Ge headed to He Junming's ward.

"Hey, Junming, I'm going out for a stroll. No need to come find me this afternoon. I'll stop by again after I come back."

"Yaoyao, could you help me lock my ward door?"

Chu Shiyao hesitated, "Are you sure you're okay to go out in your current condition?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll just be out for a short while to get some sun and then come back."

Seeing the energetic Chu Ge, He Junming, lying in bed, scratched his head, wondering why there was such a big difference even though they were both in the hospital.

Chu Ge was already able to go out for a stroll so soon, while he could only lie there, needing a crutch just to walk.

Noticing He Junming's gloomy face, Chu Ge chuckled, "Jealous?"

"Yeah."

"Well, being jealous won't help! Hahaha!"

"Come on, bro, don't rub it in like that!"

With his signature grin, Chu Ge waved a hand behind him at He Junming, "Bye-bye."

Rather than taking the elevator, Chu Ge walked down the stairs.

When he stepped out of the hospital into the bright sunshine and reached the bus stop, he leisurely lit a post-meal cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and watched as the bus approached in the distance. Just as he discarded the cigarette butt and was about to pay when boarding the bus, he suddenly realized a very serious issue.

Oh no... not a single penny in his pocket.

Under the baffled gaze of the driver, Chu Ge calmly said, "Sorry, wrong bus," and stepped back to the bus stop.

"What was that? Making such a basic mistake, and it had to be me?" Chu Ge scratched his head, feeling utterly amused and helpless.

With no other choice, Chu Ge headed back to the hospital and into He Junming's ward, met with his and Chu Shiyao's baffling looks.

"Bro, weren't you out for a stroll? Why are you back so soon?"

Chu Ge replied with a serious expression, "Actually, I just thought you looked quite pitiful lying there, so I wanted to give you a chance to feel at ease."

He Junming, puzzled, put down the second letter of reflection given to him by Head Nurse Gao and asked, "Bro, what do you mean?"

"I had one foot on the bus when I realized I didn't bring any money."

Hearing this, He Junming and Chu Shiyao burst out laughing.

It's actually not that unusual; almost everyone has encountered this situation. If it was just about Chu Ge not having money, the two of them wouldn't laugh like that.

The funny part was that Chu Ge, with bandages wrapped around many parts of his hands and body, and holding an adorable little bear lunchbox—his appearance was just too peculiar!

They could hardly imagine, what kind of expressions did the bus driver and the passengers have at the time?

After a few hearty laughs, He Junming asked again, "Bro, you must have been really embarrassed, right?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Not really, but I reckon the bus driver was more embarrassed than I was."

"Huh? Why's that?"

"Because I told him, 'Sorry, I need to tie my shoelaces,' and then I actually bent down to tie my shoelaces before leaving."

"Pfft! Hahahaha! Bro, you've outdone yourself! Were you really that witty?"

Imagining the scene in their minds, He Junming and Chu Shiyao laughed so hard their stomachs ached. They never imagined that their super impressive Chu Ge also had such a hilarious side.
