C47. Conversation (Memory).

Chapter 47

"Are you going out today?"

Shen Minglou paused in his backpack-bearing motion as Chang Li's words registered, hesitating before awkwardly squeezing out a "Um" through his teeth.

Observing Shen Minglou's expression, Chang Li understood the situation and chuckled, intending to lighten the mood with some banter.

But recalling previous conversations weighing on his conscience, he cleared his throat softly, "How are your eyes...? Should I escort you downstairs?"

"No need!" The idea of Chang Li escorting him downstairs made Shen Minglou tense up all over, and he blurted out nervously, "It's not necessary... I've walked that path many times now, I remember it."

"My brother's medication seems to be working. I can see things clearer now compared to before, though it's not the same as when I was healthy, but it's a positive development."

"With every positive development, it means you're on the path to recovery," seeing Shen Minglou's mood shifting, Chang Li quickly steered the conversation back, "Let's wish you a happy time today."

At Chang Li's words, a faint blush crept onto Shen Minglou's face as he hurried to defend, "It's not what you think, I'm going to help out."

Chang Li smirked mischievously, "Of course, to help out. My mistake."

Shen Minglou: "..."

Realizing that continuing the conversation would only dig him deeper, Shen Minglou closed his mouth in silence and got everything ready, gently opening the door of the dormitory. Stepping out, he glanced back in Chang Li's direction, "I'm heading out."

"We will always be waiting for your return."

Hearing this teasing remark, Shen Minglou couldn't help but chuckle.

Inside the dorm, the other two, their footsteps finally silent as Shen Minglou had left, relaxed from their pretense of being busy and eagerly gathered around Chang Li, satisfying their curiosity.

Chen Xiang pursed his lips, exchanging meaningful glances with the others several times before finally speaking hesitantly, "Is he out with... that guy again?"

"Follow your senior and let's call him senior too. Besides the young master, who else invites us out? Indeed, you need to take the initiative to get results. For a wooden block like our Minglou, if you don't make it clear to him, he won't understand what you mean."

Chen Xiang nodded in agreement, "You make a valid point."

"I think those two are going to need some time to figure things out."

"Hey Chang Li," Chen Xiang asked, "I always feel something strange. Why hasn't Minglou mentioned his senior brother's name to us? Normally, don't they usually call each other by their last names? Could Qin Zhichen be playing with him?"

"Don't help others deceive your own people, although... their family does have a lot of influence and can help you a lot."

Chen Xiang finished speaking and gave Chang Li a look. Chang Li was briefly stunned but quickly returned to his previous smiling demeanor. "How could that be? Look at how many times Young Master Qin and Minglou have gone out together. If Minglou didn't know his name, why would they have gone out so many times? He's not that stupid."

Chang Li cleared his throat and ignored his conscience, saying, "I definitely won't help Qin Zhichen. I can still distinguish between Minglou and him."

He waved his hand, indicating he didn't need to say more. "They two are not just playing around, don't worry."
