Seeing this scene, Shu Lulu couldn't help but show a very disgusted expression. She turned her head immediately and whispered to Chu Ge, "Is that person in the bed next to you sick? So gross!"

Chu Ge glanced at Lin Bin, only to see a bubble on his nostril burst with a "pop," which also made him a bit nauseous. His mouth trembled slightly, and he nodded, "Yeah, pretty gross."

Although Chu Ge and Shu Lulu weren't speaking loudly, there were only a few people in the ward, so Lin Bin and his secretary heard them loud and clear.

Lin Bin's face turned blue and then white. He couldn't remember the last time he was this embarrassed, and even he thought the recent incident was disgusting, leaving him speechless.

Lin Bin's secretary, however, was somewhat gloating internally, laughing silently but not daring to show it. She could only turn her head and pretend to rummage for tissues in her bag, while her mouth twitched a few times.

Serves you right for trying to show off in front of the young girl, feeling all smug?

After such an awkward incident, no matter how thick-skinned Lin Bin was, he knew there was no way to hit on the girl. After his secretary helped him wipe his nose, he lay back in bed with a black face and shut his eyes.

"Uncle, how did you get this injury?" Sitting right next to Chu Ge on the hospital bed, Shu Lulu looked at his bandaged body and asked, very puzzled.

"The place caught fire, went in to save some stuff, and ended up like this."

"Oh my, Uncle, you're just a little employee. How much does your company pay you a month? Is it worth risking your life? If something happened to you, it wouldn't be worth it at all."

"Don't worry, your uncle is tough. These little injuries will be fine in a few days. By the way, didn't you say you had something to ask me? What is it?"

Seeing Shu Lulu looking unworthy for him, Chu Ge smiled and shifted the topic.

"Right right right, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Uncle, do you know Brother Da Jiang?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Here's the thing, I lost my phone yesterday, and I don't know how, but Brother Da Jiang heard about it. That afternoon, he showed up at our school and gave me two iPhone 5S. I originally didn't want them, but he said it was your idea, one for you and one for me. Before I could react, he shoved the phones into my hands and walked away."

Saying this, Shu Lulu took two golden iPhone 5S out of her tassel bag, placed one next to Chu Ge, and looked at him, full of puzzlement.

As soon as Shu Lulu took out the two iPhone 5S, Lin Bin's female secretary was immediately drawn to them, both envious and puzzled, wearing the most bizarre expression.

She was just mocking Chu Ge's old phone in her heart, and now somehow, someone gave him an iPhone 5S just like that? How can this be?

She had wanted an iPhone 5S for a long time but was using an iPhone 4S, never able to justify the upgrade since the functions were similar. Buying another iPhone 5S would be over five thousand yuan.

Under the puzzled gazes of Lin Bin's female secretary and Shu Lulu, Chu Ge laughed and said, "Do I look like someone who knows a rich guy like that?"

Shu Lulu shook her head bluntly, "Nope."

After speaking, Shu Lulu quickly added, "That's why I'm so puzzled. You wouldn't believe Brother Da Jiang's anxious face, afraid I wouldn't accept these two phones. Now, thinking back, it feels like a dream. He used to want to give me things, but compared to yesterday, he seemed like a completely different person?"

"Who cares, since he gave them to you, just take them. No need to refuse a gift."

Seeing Shu Lulu's puzzled face, Chu Ge chuckled and said, also feeling quite speechless about "Jiang Shao's" behavior, even more so hearing Shu Lulu's misnaming.

This girl calls me Uncle and that "Jiang Shao" Brother, isn't she just giving me an unnecessary extra generation?

But thinking about that "Jiang Shao" acting all subservient to him, even if Shu Lulu called them like that in front of both, "Jiang Shao" probably wouldn't dare say much.

Chu Ge felt speechless, and so did Shu Lulu, rubbing her forehead and gently patting his unbandaged shoulder, looking half annoyed and half amused.

"Uncle, are you really dumb or just pretending? Don't you know the saying, 'Don't take others' hands or eat what they offer for free?' I've accepted such expensive things from him for no reason. If he comes pestering me in the future, I won't be able to shake him off."

Shu Lulu's attitude surprised Chu Ge a little, so he teased, "If you can't shake him off, then don't? Where else can you find such a generous rich guy? Isn't that great?"

"Great my foot! His being rich has nothing to do with me. No matter how much he pesters me, I won't be with someone like him."

Hearing Shu Lulu's firm and straightforward attitude, Chu Ge was even more surprised, given her outfit and demeanor, she obviously wasn't from a very wealthy family. In today's society, for her to say something like this was truly rare.

It wasn't until this moment that Chu Ge really developed some interest in Shu Lulu. With a smirk, he asked, "Why not? Don't you want to live a good life? Don't you envy those women who have luxury cars picking them up, wear designer clothes, and carry branded bags?"

"Envy? Of course, I envy them. I definitely want to live that kind of flashy lifestyle. But I'm not interested in those playboys who switch women as often as they change clothes. Besides, I'm still a virgin. Even if that might not mean much nowadays, I don't think I'm that cheap. Even if I can't save it for the wedding night, I should at least give it to a man who's more reliable."

This time, after Shu Lulu finished speaking, Chu Ge couldn't help but look at her with new eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Bin felt a bit disdainful, while his female secretary felt a twinge of regret. Once upon a time, she was also such an innocent girl, but after entering the big dye vat of society, she ultimately couldn't resist all sorts of temptations and finally... sigh!

"Hey! Uncle, do you or do you not know Brother Da Jiang? What should I do?"

Seeing Chu Ge not speak and just looking at her with a smirk, Shu Lulu felt even more frustrated. She gave Chu Ge a pat and helplessly asked.

"First, tell me, do you like this phone?"

"Duh, of course, I like it. It's a 64G Gold iPhone 5S, worth 6888 in the market. Who wouldn't like it?"

"Then don't hesitate to keep using it."

"But..."

"No buts. Actually, I know the Brother Da Jiang you mentioned, and I guarantee he won't bother you again."

"Really? You better not be..."

Hearing Chu Ge speak so confidently, Shu Lulu's expression turned even more peculiar. But just as she was about to continue asking, the door to the ward suddenly opened.

With a creak, a man walked in, fully armed with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, covering his entire face.

At a glance towards the door, Chu Ge immediately recognized him. It was none other than the currently popular young actor, Zhou Zhigao.

Watching Zhou Zhigao walk towards his bedside, Chu Ge couldn't help but find it amusing. How concerned was this guy with him? He had just been admitted to the hospital, and here Zhou Zhigao was, rushing over. No need to ask, it was obvious he was here to watch the show.

Sure enough, Zhou Zhigao couldn't wait to speak as soon as he got close to Chu Ge's bed, feigning concern, "Mr. Chu, I heard first thing this morning that you're in the hospital, but only just managed to find time to visit. Hope you don't mind?"

Eyeing the bandages all over Chu Ge, Zhou Zhigao was secretly thrilled. If he weren't worried about Chu Ge revealing his identity, he'd throw all pretense of his image away and gleefully laugh in Chu Ge's face and say, "This is what you call karma!"

Chu Ge chuckled, "I don't mind, of course not. Oh, by the way, that day at Papas, you didn't finish the bowl of longan lotus seed soup and papaya bird's nest, did you?"

Brought up by Chu Ge, Zhou Zhigao's pleasure instantly turned into rage. Even though he knew Chu Ge did it on purpose, he couldn't help feeling his teeth grind. The skin under his mask twitched a bit as he snorted from his nose.

Suppressing his anger, Zhou Zhigao rummaged through his bag and forced a smile as he continued, "Mr. Chu, I really enjoyed the food at Papas that day. Rest assured, I will definitely properly repay you someday. Oh, I brought you a gift today. I hope you like it."

With that, Zhou Zhigao pulled an item out of his bag, which turned out to be a small alarm clock decorated with a metallic skull!

One has to say, presenting this to someone in the hospital is ridiculously bad luck, blatantly implying "sending someone off."

Moreover, the small clock even had a white skeleton head on it!

Yet, under Zhou Zhigao's smug and malicious gaze, instead of being disgusted or angered, Chu Ge laughed even brighter than him.

"Hey, you're too kind. I've been troubled by the inconvenience of telling time. Thanks! But does your family know how filial you are to me?"

Hearing Chu Ge use the word "filial," Zhou Zhigao's skin again twitched fiercely. The fire he had barely managed to suppress flared up again.

While Zhou Zhigao's anger was burning inside, Shu Lulu suddenly paused.

"Did Uncle just mention Papas?"

She muttered to herself, recalling what Chu Ge had said to her at the bus stop, and subconsciously eyed Zhou Zhigao carefully.
