?Chapter 118: Chapter 117 Obedient Jing Chen (Second Update)_1 Chapter 118: Chapter 117 Obedient Jing Chen (Second Update)_1 Mu Lin withdrew her gaze, not noticing Jing Chen’s brief hesitation. She continued to diligently fiddle with the object in her hand, while Qiaozi busily helped her at the side. Qiaozi was completely unaware that he had just become a blindingly bright third wheel.

Perhaps in Qiaozi’s eyes and heart, the actual third wheel should be Jing Chen, who disrupted the rare moments of peace between Qiaozi and Mu Lin.

After all, it had been a while since Mu Lin had spent such a long time here. Qiaozi was feeling lonely.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Jing Chen felt a somewhat inexplicable warmth on his cheeks. Looking at Mu Lin, he asked softly, “Did someone fall ill?”

“Yes.” Mu Lin nodded, engaging in relaxed chit-chat. “We went out today.”

“I know.” Jing Chen responded, “You went to help tend to my granddad today.” As if recalling something, he asked a little anxiously, “Is there a change in my grandpa’s condition?”

“No.” Mu Lin answered, pausing for a moment. Raising her head, her eyebrows lifted slightly with a hint of discontent, “Are you questioning my medical skills?” If he dared to nod, it would be his end. She would show him what her hands were capable of.

Jing Chen quickly shook his head, “You’re mistaken.” Perhaps anyone who saw her would doubt her, but he would definitely not. He hadn’t doubted her since he met her, although he was quite surprised by her boldness.

Seeing his reaction, Mu Lin nodded in satisfaction, “That’s better.” Her voice held a hint of pride. Pausing for a moment, Mu Lin randomly handed him the object she was holding, “Help me prepare the medicine.” Free labor was offering itself at her doorstep, she would be a fool not to utilize it.

Jing Chen was taken aback. He reached out, clumsily fiddling with the object, imitating Mu Lin. His serious and focused demeanor looked as if he was in training, much to Mu Lin’s surprise.

Why did she feel that he was unusually obedient today? Usually, they would be at odds as soon as they met.

Mu Lin had no idea that her casual words were the reason behind his behavior.

If anyone were to witness these two at this moment, they would be shocked, but would also find the scene incredibly heartwarming.

It was a picture-worthy sight, appearing exceptionally beautiful under the faint halo of light.

Right now, Mu Lin was unaware of the turmoil that was beginning to take place back at the dorm.

…

“Qiao, are you sure about your decision?” having asked countless times, Ye Xiwen still refused to give up.

“I’ve made up my mind, so…” she hoped Ye Xiwen would stop obstructing her.

“You don’t have to rush, we can think of other alternatives.” Her decision would have a massive impact on her future path. Did she want to go back and face ridicule from those around her every day?

From the moment they stepped into the Military Camp, they became soldiers. If one leaves now, regardless of the reason, they would be seen as deserters, something that was shameful throughout history.

Although they were still just new recruits, they firmly believed that as long as they stayed, Yue Qiao would definitely shine. They had seen her efforts during this period of time.

But if she did not return, what would happen to Grandma Yue? Asking the neighbors for help was not a long-term solution.

This was a complicated and troublesome problem.
