Zhai Jing sent Le Wan downstairs. When he saw how surprisingly quiet she was, he asked curiously, “What did my mother say to you?”

A moment ago in the ward, his mother had intentionally sent him out to buy some things, leaving Le Wan to talk to her. In the end, when he came back from shopping, he saw that Le Wan’s expression was a little strange.

Le Wan glanced at Zhai Jing but did not tell him. Instead, she joked, “She said that I’m so kind to her, but she has nothing to repay me with, so she asked you to repay me on her behalf. She said that you’ll be my slave and that I can order you to do anything.”

When Zhai Jing heard this, he knew that she was lying. However, he did not expose her. Instead, he played along with her. “Sounds like something my mother would say.”

Le Wan sighed. ‘That means you’re a kind person, Auntie.’

Only a kind person would be so appreciative of the kindness of others instead of taking everything for granted.

“Since my mother has already promised you, I can’t go back on my word. I can only accept my fate.” Zhai Jing opened the car door for her. “So, if there’s anything I can do for you, just tell me.”

When Le Wan heard this, she looked at him in surprise. “I’ve realized that the longer I know you, the more glib your tongue has become.” When she first met him, he was still a cold and quiet prince charming.

“I’m not being glib-tongued; I’m being serious.” Zhai Jing was surprisingly serious.

“I hope you don’t go back on your word,” Le Wan said.

Right before they parted ways, Le Wan asked, “What are your plans after Auntie recovers?”

Zhai Jing thought for a moment. “Dahong Corporation has contacted me. The team is now making some supplementary improvements to the game. They’re preparing to launch this game during the summer break and seize the summer slot. The company intended to strive to open up a new map during this time. So when my mother’s surgery is completed and she can take care of herself, I’ll have to spend more time in the game.”

After hearing that, Le Wan was silent for two seconds before she said with a smile, “Then it seems that I’ll just have to squeeze you dry during this short period. Otherwise, when you get busy again, you won’t be able to come whenever I call you.”

Zhai Jing put on a helpless expression, but in his heart, he thought, ‘As long as you need me, as long as you call for me, no matter where I am, no matter what I’m doing, I’ll rush to your side as soon as possible.’

It was Friday, the day of his mother’s operation, and also Le Wan’s fourth mock exam as a third-year high school student.

At this time, there were less than two months left before the college entrance examination. At this stage, the teachers and students could roughly predict the college entrance examination results and rankings based on the current results.

The only variable was Le Wan. Everyone was very curious to see if Le Wan would be able to make a huge leap in her results in this mock exam, just like the two previous mock exams.

For this mock exam, Le Wan finally started feeling nervous.

After a period of hard work, she finally managed to go through all the knowledge that she had learned in the past three years of high school. Therefore, the results of this examination would reflect her hard work in the past.

If she passed, then for the next month, she would only need to check and fill in the gaps.

When the phone rang, Le Wan gave Zhai Jing a call to cheer each other on. Then she turned off her phone and waited for the signal.

Language had always been Le Wan’s strong point, so she did the test relatively smoothly.

After coming out of the examination hall, she switched on her phone and saw a message from Zhai Jing. Mrs. Zhai had been sent to the operating theater. What was left was a difficult wait. She only received a call from Zhai Jing after she finished the second test.

The operation had been successful, and Mrs. Zhai had come out of the operating room. The next step was to see if her body and the new kidney would have any acute rejection.

“Congratulations.” Upon hearing the good news, Le Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She touched the pendant on her wrist. It was the one that his mother had given her the other day.

That day, after sending Zhai Jing away, Mrs. Zhai suddenly held her hand and begged her. “Miss Le, I know that what I’m going to say next is very abrupt, but please understand how I feel as a mother. If I don’t make it through this surgery, can you please stay by Jing’s side? Although Xiao Jing looks more mature and stable than his peers, he’s still a child in the end. Can I hand him over to you?” Mrs. Zhai looked at Le Wan with pleading eyes.
