Chapter 516: Chapter 516 Jing Su had just wiped his mouth when he heard Bo Jingshen say that.
Jing Su, "...Is it really appropriate to flaunt your affection in front of an injured person like this?" Su Lu was speechless beside them. She had seen shamelessness before, but never at this level.
Bo Jingshen wasn't always this shameless, was he? What sudden change had taken over him? It seemed like his shamelessness switch had been flipped ever since she accepted his proposal.
However, Jing Su certainly didn't get upset about it. On the contrary, having been reminded by Bo Jingshen's display of affection, he said, Jing Su, "Oh right. Now that you've successfully proposed, my current situation is adding to your workload for no reason. Won't it affect your original plans?" Jing Su was well aware of Bo Jingshen's persistent efforts over the years for Su Lu, so there must have been many plans. Perhaps even this trip to Beijing was part of his plans.
But Bo Jingshen didn't hesitate at all, “Plans are flexible, it doesn't matter. Don't worry about these things. Besides..." Bo Jingshen smiled, "She's mine, she won't run away." Bo Jingshen thought, this twhen he returned, he would first secure a legal status. Once Jing Su was better, they could discuss everything else. Su Lu was so understanding that she would surely bear with him.
After leaving the hospital, Bo Jingshen and Su Lu went to a nearby restaurant.
As soon as the dishes arrived, the two of them began to eat in silence. This quiet state of eating continued for about ten minutes before they finally slowed down from their wolfish devouring.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThankfully, with their comportment and appearance, even eating quickly seemed elegant and methodical, with no movement appearing too hasty or clumsy.
But each bite was huge! Several times Su Lu felt like she was about to choke, the large clumps of food seeming to split her throat, but after swallowing with difficulty, the sense of satisfaction in her empty stomach was too much to stop.
Finally having filled her stomach, she let out a long sigh, expressing her relief, “I was almost starved to death..." Bo Jingshen also decided to take a break after eating his fill, so he drank a few sips of soup and served Su Lu a bowl as well.
Then he said, "Burp-!" A melodious and extended burp.
Su Lu, "..." Bo Jingshen himself found it a bit funny. He curved his mouth, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said, "Earlier, outside the operating room, I was too nervous to feel hungry. Afterwards, when Jing Su woke up and everything seemed to go back to normal, my heart settled down a bit, and I realized I was so hungry I could barely stand it..." Su Lu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my God, how can Jing Ruo not feel hungry?" "Forget about her," Bo Jingshen glanced at Su Lu's slim figure and said, "She's not blessed with the naturally skinny physique like you." "But Jing Ruo isn't fat either,” Su Lu thought about Jing Ruo's figure from the past, which wasn't particularly lean but was definitely not fat.
Now, she seemed much thinner. When Su Lu saw her for the first time, she even wondered if Jing Ruo was worn out from working too hard.
"After she debuted, she started dieting. Cameras tend to add a little weight, so if you're not skinny enough, you'll appear fuller on screen. Of course, sare exceptionally gifted with facial features that look slim on camera, but unfortunately, Jing Ruo doesn't have such an innate advantage," Bo Jingshen said.
He still remembered that time, when he was still locked up.
After Jing Ruo debuted, she wasn't very busy and could always cto visit him.
Several times, she cried. With a particularly aggrieved look, the moment she saw Bo Jingshen, she would just burst into tears.
At first, Bo Jingshen tried to console her, but later he felt something was off. Upon asking, he learned that it wasn't just worry and heartache for her little brother that made her cry.
It was hunger.
Because of dieting, her daily carbohydrate intake was limited. Without enough carbs, she lacked sugar; without sugar, her mood was affected, leading to feeling aggrieved. Then, seeing her little brother trapped behind bars, she would cry.
Bo Jingshen was both amused and annoyed by this revelation, but later he told her that next to the waiting hall for visitations, there was a stand that sold a type of prepared food made of coarse grains, like the small flatbreads, that wouldn't make her gain weight because it was made from complex carbs.
He told her to eat that if she was hungry.
Jing Ruo asked him how he knew this, to which he replied that it was because this was what they made while they were inside.
And so Jing Ruo believed him and ate that every tshe came.
Hearing Bo Jingshen talk about the past while sipping soup, Su Lu beccurious, "And then what happened?" "Later, she stopped coming because she was angry." "Why was she angry?” Su Lu blinked her eyes.
Bo Jingshen seemed to find it amusing, curving his lips slightly, "Where were those complex carbs? It was actually made from refined white flour, as fine as it gets. It would have been better off just eating plain rice..." "Why are you so wicked?" Su Lu said helplessly, her own lips curving into a smile.
But both of their smiles were short-lived and quickly faded from their faces.
Bo Jingshen let out a soft sigh and asked, "Do you think... Jing Su will ever recover?" Su Lu was at a loss, exhaling softly, "I don't know. I hope he will get better, but... now when I close my eyes, I still see his face covered in blood." Wasn't Bo Jingshen feeling the sway?
It was precisely because he saw with his own eyes Jing Su's face covered in blood and the fierce injuries on his faee and eyes that he could not be optimistic.
"I've had the staff at our overseas branch contact sauthorities abroad these days, sent Jing Su's medical records over to see if there are any other options," Bo Jingshen said. Su Lu nodded, "Yeah, that's good. Later, I will also ask my brother, Qiao Li, as well as You Ran and her boyfriend Lei Yang to inquire as well." Bo Jingshen's face suddenly beca bit stiff.
Seeing his stiffened expression, Su Lu instantly felt resigned, “At a tlike this..." Bo Jingshen remained silent, just staring down, poking aimlessly at a piece of fish in his plate until it was almost mush.
Seeing him like this, Su Lu could only wave her hand and say, “Alright, alright, we'll count Qiao Li out, okay?"
Only then did Bo Jingshen stop mutilating the piece of fish and said, "Just that, I may have to start coordinating with Uing Susom secretariat during this tand get busy. Since I'm not accustomed to the work yet, it will surely require more time, and I probably won't have as much tto spend with you and the child." "I understand; I wouldn't blyou. I'm not that unreasonable,” Su Lu said.
Bo Jingshen looked up at her deeply, "So, the understanding Su Xiaolu..." "Yes?" "Could you givea legal status first, so I can work with peace of mind?"
