Song Xingchen's eyes were filled with guilt and self-reproach. She looked at Su Chang, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to express herself. Her hands trembled slightly, as if she wanted to take Su Chang's hand, but hesitated.

Su Chang seemed to sense Song Xingchen's inner struggle. He squeezed her hand tightly, gave her an encouraging smile, and said, "Don't think too much. Get some rest. Everything will be alright. Let's talk again when you feel better, okay?"

A warm feeling welled up in Song Xingchen's heart. She nodded, and the tears in her eyes gradually stopped.

She knew she owed Su Chang too much. She could imagine that the situation was far more dangerous than she had imagined. She never expected Su Chang to go to such lengths for her. She admitted that she was probably doomed to be stuck with this womanizer for the rest of her life.

Su Chang asked softly, "Xingchen, do you need me to call your family to come over?"

Song Xingchen first shook her head slightly, then nodded gently. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said with difficulty, "Don't notify my parents, help me contact my best friend Han Xiaoli."

Su Chang nodded, his eyes filled with affection. He gently patted Song Xingchen's head and said softly, "Okay, you can rest now. I'll have someone contact Han Xiaoli right away."

However, Song Xingchen stared straight at Su Chang with her eyes full of reluctance. She raised her hands with all her might and held Su Chang's hands tightly, as if afraid that he would leave. She said in a trembling voice, "Don't go, I'm scared."

Upon seeing this, Fang Zhiheng and Guan Xiaodi immediately showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

Fang Zhiheng looked at Su Chang with a pained expression and said directly, "Su Chang is also injured and needs to rest. Why are you staying here with you?"

Guan Xiaodi chimed in, "That's right! If it weren't for you, we'd still be enjoying our trip right now. You really don't know how to care about Su Chang!"

Song Xingchen ignored the two of them; at this moment, her eyes were only on Su Chang, and she was eagerly awaiting his response.

Su Chang felt a headache coming on as he watched the three women confronting each other.

He pondered for a moment and finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides. He suggested, "How about this, have someone add a bed here, and I'll rest here. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Song Xingchen immediately smiled with delight.

Guan Xiaodi and Fang Zhiheng naturally understood Su Chang's "womanizer" thoughts, but they could only helplessly agree.

Afterwards, Guan Xiaodi went to contact Han Xiaoli, Fang Zhiheng went to find a doctor to add a bed, while Su Chang quietly stayed in the ward to accompany Song Xingchen.

After Guan Xiaodi and Fang Zhiheng left, Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with confusion and unease. She asked with difficulty, "Su Chang, can you... tell me... what happened after I fainted yesterday?"

Seeing Song Xingchen's vulnerable state, Su Chang felt a pang of pain in his heart. He didn't know how much pain Song Xingchen was going through, but it certainly hurt him to hear it.

He affectionately patted Song Xingchen's head and gently comforted her, "You need to rest now. I'll tell you when you've rested, okay?"

Song Xingchen shook her head, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes: "No... Hold me... I want to hear." Her voice carried a pleading tone, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.

Looking at Song Xingchen's stubborn little eyes, Su Chang felt helpless. He sighed softly, then sat on the edge of the bed and gently embraced Song Xingchen. His movements were tender and delicate, as if he were cherishing a precious treasure.

"Actually, it wasn't a big deal. The whirlpool got too big, and I couldn't steer the boat out of it. So I rushed to the edge of the whirlpool, grabbed you and that girl, and jumped into the river. Because there was a helicopter, we were all saved." Su Chang's voice was very soft, as if he were telling an ordinary story.

Song Xingchen wasn't stupid; she didn't believe the truth was as simple as Su Chang made it out to be. Besides, she had clearly heard Guan Xiaodi's words. She knew Su Chang was deliberately making it sound so lighthearted to avoid making her feel guilty. She was filled with gratitude, but also a pang of guilt.

"How is that girl?" Song Xingchen changed the subject, her eyes revealing her concern for the girl.

Seeing Song Xingchen's worried expression, Su Chang smiled gently and said, "She's alright. She just suffered some internal damage from being in the water for so long, but her life isn't in danger, so don't worry."

Chapter 294 Methods of Appeasing Others

Then, as if she had just realized something, Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang with a shocked expression and asked, "Your... medical skills... are very strong?" Her eyes were full of curiosity and admiration.

Su Chang was taken aback, initially not understanding why Song Xingchen would ask such a question. Then, recalling the doctor's examination of her that morning, and considering that she herself was a medical student, plus Guan Xiaodi's words, he could only nod and admit, "It's alright, I can still save you, don't think too much about it."

Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang with a touched expression, her eyes glistening with tears.

She hugged Su Chang tightly and whispered, "Thank you... Su Chang... If... without you... I don't know... what would have happened to me..." Her voice was choked with emotion, as if she was trying hard to control herself.

Su Chang gently patted Song Xingchen's back, comforting her, "Don't say that, I did all this willingly. As long as you're alright, I'm relieved." His eyes were filled with tenderness and determination, as if conveying a kind of strength to Song Xingchen.

Song Xingchen looked at Su Chang with deep emotion, then said with a blush, "Kiss me, okay?" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet it carried a hint of determination.

Upon hearing Song Xingchen's words, Su Chang was taken aback and looked at Song Xingchen with disbelief, asking, "Are you sure? You won't regret it?" His eyes revealed surprise and hesitation, as if he was waiting for Song Xingchen to confirm again.

Song Xingchen nodded with difficulty, then shook her head. Her eyes were filled with shyness and nervousness, as if telling Su Chang about her inner conflict.

Su Chang wasn't exactly a gentleman, and since Song Xingchen had already said that, he didn't stand on ceremony and directly lowered his head to kiss Song Xingchen. His movements were somewhat rough, but full of passion.

Song Xingchen kept her eyes tightly closed, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her body trembled with nervousness. Her heart was pounding rapidly, as if it would leap out of her throat. She silently prayed that the kiss could last.

Their lips met quickly, and Su Chang held Song Xingchen tightly in his arms. His lips gently brushed against Song Xingchen's, as if exploring every corner of her body. Song Xingchen was also captivated, her body gradually relaxing, and her hands involuntarily wrapped around Su Chang's waist.

Just as the two were lost in their own world, the door suddenly opened. Tang Guoguo and Chen Nanxing fell straight to the ground, while Gao Wenruohan and Guan Juer looked at the two women on the ground with helpless expressions.

Upon seeing someone, Song Xingchen blushed instantly and buried her head in Su Chang's arms. Her heart pounded even harder, as if it would burst out of her chest. She felt incredibly embarrassed and shy, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Su Chang wasn't embarrassed at all. He half-embraced Song Xingchen, then turned and glared at the four women, saying, "What are you doing?" His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and anger.

Tang Guoguo, Gao Wenruohan, and Guan Juer immediately fell silent, lowering their heads and avoiding Su Chang's gaze. Their faces showed embarrassment and guilt, as if they had done something wrong.

Chen Nanxing's eyes darted around, and then she said coquettishly, "Brother Su Chang, why are you so fierce? We came to see you, and just now..." Her voice carried a hint of coquetry and flattery.

Su Chang glared at her irritably and said, "Chen Nanxing, shut up." His eyes were full of authority and displeasure, as if to tell Chen Nanxing that he had seen through her lies.

Seeing Su Chang's expression, Chen Nanxing pouted but kept quiet. She felt wronged and resentful, thinking Su Chang had been too harsh on her.

Su Chang then looked at Guan Juer and said with a smile, "Guan Guan, you're the best girl. Can you tell me what you were doing just now?" His tone became gentle, as if he were a creepy uncle trying to abduct a child.

Guan Juer's face showed a hint of hesitation and nervousness. She glanced at Su Chang, then at Chen Nanxing and the other girls. Chen Nanxing and the others quickly gave her meaningful looks, then she stammered in a low voice, "We...we..."

Upon hearing Guan Juer's words, Su Chang's expression became even more serious. He looked at Guan Juer and said, "Guan Guan, I know you're the most obedient. It definitely wasn't your idea to come and spy. Can you tell me who Brother Su Chang is? Don't be like them, spouting nonsense." His tone carried a hint of reproach.

A look of guilt and self-reproach appeared on Guan Juer's face. She lowered her head and said, "Brother Su Chang, I'm sorry. We won't do this again. It was all our idea." Her voice was trembling with tears, as if she knew she had made a mistake.

Su Chang looked at Guan Juer, his anger gradually subsiding. He sighed and said, "Alright, Guan Guan, don't cry. I won't blame you this time. But you can't do this again next time, understand?" His tone softened, as if he were comforting a wounded child.

Guan Juer nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Su Chang." Her face was still full of guilt, after all, she had just lied to Su Chang and felt very bad.

Su Chang felt a pang of sympathy when she saw Guan Juer's pitiful appearance. She beckoned to Guan Juer and said gently, "Guan Guan, come here."

"Oh." Guan Juer obediently agreed, then came to Su Chang's side, but still kept her head down and dared not look at Su Chang.

Su Chang smiled helplessly, patted Guan Juer's hand affectionately, then pulled her onto his lap, gently kissed her forehead, and soothed her softly, "Guan Guan, I don't blame you, but you can't do that again, okay?"

"Okay, Su Chang-ge." Guan Juer blushed and nodded obediently, then snuggled into Su Chang's arms to keep Song Xingchen company.

After calming Guan Juer down, Su Chang looked up at the door again and saw Tang Guoguo and Gao Wenruohan standing there without moving, while Chen Nanxing was sneaking away towards the door.

Su Chang frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure rising in his heart. He said irritably, "Chen Nanxing, where are you planning to go?" His voice carried a hint of sternness.

Chen Nanxing's body stiffened abruptly. She stopped in her tracks, then turned around with a fawning smile on her face.

Her eyes gleamed with a mischievous light as she cautiously looked at Su Chang and said, "Brother Su Chang, I noticed you're all awake and thought you must be hungry, so I was going to go out and buy you something to eat."

Su Chang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He knew in his heart that Chen Nanxing, that little devil, was definitely trying to run away, and not a single word she said could be trusted. He released Guan Juer and Song Xingchen; Song Xingchen lay back down on the hospital bed, and Guan Juer stood beside Su Chang.

"Nanxing, come here." Su Chang beckoned to Chen Nanxing, his smile becoming even more sinister. His eyes held an unfathomable light, as if he were plotting something.

·· ··Requesting flowers··· ········

When Chen Nanxing saw Su Chang's smile, she couldn't help but shiver. She felt as if she were being stared at by a ferocious wild beast, and her body instinctively retreated.

"No need, Su Chang." Chen Nanxing's voice trembled slightly as she tried to appease Su Chang's dissatisfaction with a flattering tone.

Su Chang raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Nanxing with a playful expression, saying, "If you don't come over, then you want me to go over to you?" His tone carried a hint of threat, which made Chen Nanxing's heart beat faster instantly.

Chen Nanxing's heart skipped a beat; she knew she was doomed today. She quickly waved her hand, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said, "How can that be? Brother Su Chang, you're still a patient. I'll go over there."

After speaking, Chen Nanxing slowly moved towards Su Chang. Her steps seemed heavy, each one feeling like she was walking on cotton.

Her eyes kept glancing at Wen Gaoruohan and Guan Juer, hoping they would say a word for her. However, both women kept their heads down and dared not utter a sound, filling Chen Nanxing's heart with bitterness.

..... ..... 0

"I should have known better than to come up with this terrible idea." Chen Nanxing lamented inwardly, filled with regret, feeling that she had really shot herself in the foot.

Su Chang watched Chen Nanxing take one step forward and two steps back, and couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

He said irritably, "Are you going to come over here obediently, or should I go to you?" His voice was clearly filled with dissatisfaction, which made Chen Nanxing's face even more unpleasant.

Upon hearing Su Chang's final warning, Chen Nanxing immediately gave up struggling. Her face was filled with helplessness, as if she had already accepted her fate.

She slowly approached Su Chang, hugged his arm with a flattering expression, and said, "Brother Su Chang, please don't be angry anymore. Nanxing knows she was wrong and will never dare to do it again." Her voice carried a hint of coquetry, hoping to cheer Su Chang up.

Su Chang lightly patted Chen Nanxing's head, her brows furrowed, and said with a hint of reproach, "How many times have you promised it would be the last time? You have no credibility with me anymore, and you've even corrupted Guan Guan, which is unforgivable."

Chen Nanxing pouted, covered her head with her hands, tears welling in her eyes, and looked at Su Chang with a pitiful expression, saying, "Brother Su Chang, you're treating me so differently! You're so gentle with Guan Guan, but you're so mean to me." Her heart was filled with resentment and grievance, feeling that she had been treated unfairly.

Su Chang was already immune to Chen Nanxing's act. He glared at her irritably, muttering to himself, "Don't try to play the victim. I'm not buying it." His eyes revealed a hint of determination, clearly indicating that he had decided to teach Chen Nanxing a lesson.

Seeing this, Chen Nanxing immediately changed her pitiful expression like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, pouting and saying angrily, "Hmph! You bad brother, tell me how to punish me? I'll take it all." Although she was a little scared, she pretended to be strong and didn't want to show weakness in front of Su Chang.

Seeing Chen Nanxing's stubborn and unyielding attitude, Su Chang was also full of helplessness. He said in a low voice, "You just wait, when I get back I'll teach you a lesson." As he spoke, he slapped Chen Nanxing's buttocks hard.

Chapter 295 Li Xiangdong

"Ugh..." Chen Nanxing immediately clutched her buttocks, letting out a cry of pain. Her eyes were filled with lust as she looked at Su Chang, and she said defiantly, "Who's afraid of who? Come on then." Although she felt some pain in her heart, she was mostly dissatisfied with Su Chang and wanted to resist him.

Su Chang was completely baffled by Chen Nanxing's reaction. He had forgotten that she had this trait, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. If they weren't in the hospital, he really would have liked to take her right there and then, to see if she would still be so arrogant.

Su Chang helplessly pushed Chen Nanxing aside, then looked at Wen Gaoruohan and Tang Guoguo at the door.

Before Su Chang could speak, Wen Gao Ruohan immediately ran to his side, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly, "Brother Su Chang, Ruohan knows she was wrong, please forgive her this time." Her face was beaming with a sweet smile, and her eyes were full of expectation and pleading.

Su Chang felt a tingling sensation all over his body from Gao Wenruohan's affected tone. He could only tap Gao Wenruohan's forehead in annoyance and say, "You, stop following this crazy girl's example. You're becoming more and more unruly. You used to be such a well-behaved girl." Although his tone was somewhat stern, his eyes revealed a hint of doting.

"I know, Brother Su Chang." Hearing that Su Chang had forgiven her, Gao Wenruohan said coquettishly again.

"Brothers, who can stand this shrill sound?!" Su Chang thought to himself, "This is bad." He felt a wave of heat coming from his hands, as if it were melting his palms. He quickly pulled his hands out of Ruohan's warm embrace, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would embarrass himself.

His face turned serious, and his gaze fixed on Tang Guoguo at the door. Tang Guoguo was completely dumbfounded, inwardly groaning.

She could be charming and unreasonable, but the person in front of her wasn't Su Chu! She simply couldn't do that.

These past two days, having spent time with Chen Nanxing, she had almost forgotten that these women were all Su Chang's women. Now, things were incredibly awkward. She knew all too well how terrifying Su Chang could be when he was angry; the last experience was still fresh in her mind.

Tang Guoguo had no choice but to bite the bullet, forcing a sheepish smile as she looked at Su Chang and said, "Um... Su Chang... Brother... please forgive me this time, considering I'm one of your three little sisters." As she spoke, she kept giving the three women meaningful glances, hoping they would put in a good word for her.

Su Chang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I'm not your brother Su Chang. You should go find your brother Su Chu. No, Tang Guoguo, why are you always hanging out with my woman instead of staying with Su Chu?" His tone was tinged with dissatisfaction and confusion.

Seeing this, Chen Nanxing immediately adopted the demeanor of a big sister, stepped forward, and said with a haughty expression, "Guoguo is our little sister, of course she should stay with us! What's so good about that coward Su Chu? Guoguo has now seen the light and will never like Su Chu again!"

Su Chang glanced at Chen Nanxing speechlessly, thinking to herself: You really know how to use idioms! What's wrong with Su Chu? Does Tang Guoguo need to repent and turn back from her misguided ways?

He looked at Tang Guoguo with a surprised expression and asked, "Really?"

Tang Guoguo nodded earnestly and said, "Of course, he's always following that old woman Su Mang around. How am I any less than that old woman? I'm not going to like him anymore!" Her eyes revealed determination and resolve.

"Okay, so you came with them to watch me have fun?" Su Chang asked helplessly. He was speechless. When did Su Mang become an old woman?

"Oh, it's not really fun. I'm just following the boss. I do whatever she tells me to do," Tang Guoguo said with a silly and cute expression. Her eyes were wide open, sparkling with innocent light, while also carrying a hint of flattery.
