Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 256 - 188: The First Kiss in the Hospital Ward_3

His frail body trembled slightly, and his breathing became more rapid.

He understood Liu Zhiying’s intentions and could feel her uneasiness at the moment.

"Zhiying, thank you,"

Chen Cheng said softly, his voice filled with gratitude and tenderness, "It’s really nice to have met you."

A simple sentence made Liu Zhiying’s tears instantly overflow.

She turned around, hugged Chen Cheng tightly, and buried her head in his embrace, crying silently.

Chen Cheng did not speak, just gently patted her back, providing silent comfort.

The two held each other quietly like this, and after a while, Liu Zhiying’s emotions calmed down.

She lifted her head to look at Chen Cheng, "Brother Cheng, I’m sorry, I’ve lost my composure again."

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you saying."

Chen Cheng gently wiped the tears from her face and teased, "Shouldn’t you be the one comforting me? How come it’s turned into me comforting you?"

Liu Zhiying bit her lower lip, gathering her courage, and then scooted up.

Chen Cheng only felt the millisecond contact on his lips, but Liu Zhiying’s face was already flushed with shyness.

"You..."

In a low voice, Liu Zhiying said: "Actually, I’ve been wanting to do this since this afternoon..."

Chen Cheng reached out, wanting to wrap his arm around her shoulder.

But Liu Zhiying dodged again.

She was the first girl who had actively refused a hug from Chen Cheng.

"What’s wrong?" Chen Cheng looked at her curiously.

Liu Zhiying was somewhat embarrassed, "Brother Cheng, I have a smell on me."

"Smell? What kind of smell?"

Just as Chen Cheng was about to get closer, he was stopped by Liu Zhiying’s outstretched hand. freewёbnoνel.com

"It’s... the smell of hospital disinfectants, and a bit... of sweat."

Liu Zhiying’s voice became softer and softer, and her cheeks redder and redder.

Chen Cheng was puzzled, "Didn’t the nursing assistant help you wipe your body?"

Speaking of which, he remembered the first time he came to see her, Liu Zhiya had said that Liu Zhiying did not want others to touch her, so she had dismissed the first nursing assistant that Chen Jin hired.

The one after that, he had to plead and persuade to hire.

It seemed she still hadn’t accepted it.

He pulled Liu Zhiying into his arms, "Silly girl, I don’t mind."

"Really?" Liu Zhiying’s body stiffened slightly, but soon relaxed.

Chen Cheng also smelled the complex scent she mentioned, a mix of the two odors.

He had embraced so many sweet-smelling women, never expecting that someone as outstanding as Liu Zhiying would also have an unpleasant smell due to the inconvenience of bathing.

Seeing that Chen Cheng did not answer, Liu Zhiying looked up, understood his expression, and said, "Brother Cheng, you’re teasing me~"

She wanted to escape from Chen Cheng’s tender embrace, but deep down she was reluctant to let go.

Chen Cheng watched Liu Zhiying’s struggling expression, the corners of his mouth rising.

"You’re still laughing!" Liu Zhiying became even more embarrassed.

Chen Cheng: "I’m not bothered by you, it’s just this smell..."

"What about the smell?"

"I need to take a good whiff of it before I can tell you."

Saying this, Chen Cheng buried his head in Liu Zhiying’s neck and made a deliberate deep breathing gesture, causing her to feel ticklish, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Brother Cheng, you’re so naughty!" Liu Zhiying cooed, playfully hitting Chen Cheng on the shoulder.

Chen Cheng looked at her, "Shall I help you wipe off a bit?"

Liu Zhiying quickly dodged his burning gaze, but her little head honestly nodded and nodded again.

Seeing that she agreed, Chen Cheng got up to fetch a basin of warm water and took a clean towel.

Liu Zhiying didn’t dare to look at Chen Cheng anymore, only stealthily grasping the railing, and turned her head away.

The warm towel wiped her forehead, and Chen Cheng did not mess around, just moved gently bit by bit.

Liu Zhiying slowly turned her head, watching him intently, and was even more touched.

"Brother Cheng, you’re really nice..."

Chen Cheng smiled, rinsed the towel, looked at the clean water, and said, "Eh? How long has it been since you washed your face?"

"Eh? I’ve washed it every day!" Liu Zhiying struggled to lift her neck, wanting to see if the water was dirty or not.

But behold, Chen Cheng turned around smiling, "I’m just teasing you. Look how nervous you are!"

Liu Zhiying was both annoyed and amused, huffing several times, but she could not hide the smile on her lips.

Chen Cheng continued to wipe her neck and arms, areas covered by the hospital gown he did not touch.

"The rest, let Xiao Ya do it tomorrow." Chen Cheng put the towel aside, smiling, "To prevent any discomfort for you."

Liu Zhiying said in a whisper, "Then, Brother Cheng, can you smell again now?"

Chen Cheng leaned in, not expecting to have his neck firmly clasped by Liu Zhiying.

And that awkward yet instinctive first kiss, was just given.

...

...

The next day, Law School.

Chen Cheng came to help Liu Zhiying return and borrow books as promised, but before those small chores, he first knocked on Zhang Jingsong’s office door.

"Come in."

Chen Cheng entered the room.

Zhang Jingsong, seeing that it was Chen Cheng, stood up.

"Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Jingsong rummaged for a while, pointed to a sofa nearby, and said, "Have a seat."

He came over with a piece of paper, "Ms. Wen’s entrusted matter has been resolved. The administrative reconsideration went smoothly. Here’s the final result."

Chen Cheng glanced at it, Su Liya’s community oversight had been canceled.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Jingsong gestured with his hand, "No need to mention it, we’re all family."

He fished out a cigarette, "How have things been recently?"

"Not bad, I went to Japan to sign a contract recently, just got back." Chen Cheng took the offered cigarette.

"I’ve also been busy spinning in circles." Zhang Jingsong said with a smile: "This afternoon, I have to go to Hangzhou for a seminar."

"Then I’ve come at just the right time!" Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"Isn’t that true?"

Chen Cheng turned around and then asked, "Uncle Zhang, may I ask for your advice on another matter?"
