In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 35

As she opened her eyes, all she could see was a white ceiling and the faint smell of disinfectant in the air.

Her limbs felt weak and sore, and she struggled to sit up, propping herself up with her hands.

Mina heard the commotion and hurried over, looking anxious. "Jenjen, you're awake. How do you feel?"

"I'm fine," Jennie said weakly, her eyes drooping. "I think I was just too tired."

Looking around, she realized she was in a medical room, with a white curtain pulled beside her.

Mina breathed a sigh of relief. "The doctor said the same thing. You just need some glucose to recover."

She grinned mischievously and leaned in close to Jennie's ear. "Your little crush already made you some glucose."

Jennie gave her a glare, and a blush crept up on her pale cheeks. "Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh," Mina smirked and continued, not listening to her. "Tell me, are you two together? He was cheering you on just now, even though he's usually so quiet."

"And when you fainted, he was the one who carried you over. His hands were shaking with fear," she added.

Jennie shook her head and whispered, "No way."

But Mina didn't believe her. "Even if you're not together, he must like you. What about you?"

She knew Jennie was always popular, a girl who shone brightly and attracted countless gazes wherever she went. In school, there were many boys who liked her, from her class all the way to the school gate.

Lisa was not particularly outstanding except for having good grades. But it was clear that Jennie treated him differently.

The clean spring light shone through the infirmary, dyeing the snow-white curtains a pale golden color.

Jennie lowered her head, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly. She moved her lips a few times, about to speak, when the nearby curtain was gently lifted.

A young man walked towards them against the light, carefully holding a paper cup in his hand. He saw that Jennie had already woken up, and a hint of surprise flashed through his black eyes.

Beside them, Mina quickly stood up and said, "The teacher just said they need to see me, so I'll go first."

She turned her back to Lisa and winked at Jennie, but spoke seriously, "Jennie, rest well."

The door of the medical room was gently closed, and the room fell into a peaceful silence.

The four-sided curtains seemed to outline a small world, and the sound of their breathing was almost audible.

The girl's bright eyes reflected only his figure, and Lisa shyly lowered her eyes, taking a few steps forward to hand him the paper cup.

The boy's fingers were distinct, with neatly trimmed nails in a clean arc shape. Even holding a simple paper cup, it was still pleasing to the eye.

Jennie blinked and whispered, "I don't have the strength in my hands."

Her voice was soft and gentle, but it made Lisa's heart tighten.

His hand holding the paper cup trembled as he looked into her clear eyes.

After a while, he said with difficulty, "I'll go find a straw."

As Jennie watched his figure disappear behind the curtain, she couldn't help but roll his eyes in exasperation.

Was this guy made of wood? How could he not understand the meaning behind her words?
