Chapter 676 Is She in Love?

He had just opened his eyes and was not used to the light. He closed them and opened them again. It
took a few iterations before he was completely awake. He remembered that he fell into a river. Then,
he was almost hit by a small wooden boat. After that, he was beaten. He could still feel the pain at the
back of his head when he thought about it now.

He moved his body. He tried to sit up to see his surroundings. He remembered that the man who
knocked him was worrying that he would blackmail him, that was why he hit him. However, how could
he take him to the hospital? It did not make sense.

He found that he was pressed when he tried to move his legs. He lowered his head and looked over. It
was a familiar face.

‘Jasmine?’

‘Why is she here?’

Perhaps it was because he saw her out of the blue, so his heart was beating fast.

Jasmine also woke up slowly. She saw someone looking at her. She rubbed her eyes and said in
surprise, “You’re awake?”

Boyce looked at her for a long time before he said, “You ... why are you here?”

“You fainted and were seen by my students, I brought you to the hospital, I shall be the one to ask you,
why are you here?” Jasmine sat up and rubbed her arms which were numb as she pillowed them all
night, “Does your head still hurt? Are you hungry?”

Boyce did not say anything. He just looked at her and gave an irrelevant answer, “Why did you quit
school?”



Jasmine lowered her eyes, “I don’t want to study anymore.”

She used to work hard for her mother and to become a woman who could be a match for him, but then,
her mother had passed away and after listening to Officer Miller’s words, she understood that she could
not become someone who could help him no matter how hard she tried.

She did not know who else she could work for. She suddenly lost all motivation and direction in life.

After her bewilderment, she hoped that what she had learnt was not in vain, so she came to work as a
teacher here. She did not charge any tuition fees. She had some savings that she saved before. While
she was working as a teacher, she also worked part-time online, giving online lessons to middle and
high school students to earn money, which she used to buy books and exercise books for her students,
and partly to live on.

Although she was not very rich, she was good at calculating. She did not spend money indiscriminately.
Furthermore, living expenses in the countryside were not that much. If she taught more classes, there
would still be extra money.

“It’s a pity to give up on such a good university like that.” Boyce could not understand her thoughts.

Jasmine smiled, “You’re not my parent, just leave me alone, now what about you?”

After she left City B, she changed her phone card and even cut off all connections with the classmates
she got along well with.

She thought that since she had decided to leave, she would leave anything.

She thought she would never see him again in her life.

“Your ...”



“Jasmine.” Keith walked in while carrying breakfast.

Keith was 21 years old, a sophomore, tall and thin, wearing a very casual white T-shirt, with white skin
and full of vitality.

Boyce wanted to ask Jasmine to borrow him mobile phone so that he could call Matthew to inform him,
but he was interrupted by Keith and then he forgot about it.

Seeing Keith bring breakfast to Jasmine and also seeing that he smiled tenderly at Jasmine, countless
question marks were raised in his heart.

‘Who is this man?’

“Why do you come over so early?” Jasmine did not expect him to come to the hospital so early, how
early did he have to get up to come here so early from the village?

Keith smiled, “Let me guess, you did not eat anything yesterday, am I right?”

Jasmine did not say anything.

“If you don’t say anything, then I have guessed correctly. Knowing that you will not eat properly, so I
bring breakfast over early for you to eat.” Keith put the breakfast on the table. Seeing that Boyce had
woken up, he said, “Hello.”

Boyce responded.

“I bought breakfast for you guys to eat, it won’t taste good when it gets cold later.” He opened the box
of the breakfast he bought. There were congee and pan-fried buns. He handed the pan-fried buns to
Jasmine, “This is delicious. When I was in high school in the county, I ate this every morning.”



Keith was a big sunny boy, clean and comfortable to look at, especially when he smiled, he was gentle
and kind. Jasmine unconsciously raised the corner of her lips and said, “Thank you.”

Boyce looked at Jasmine’s smile at Keith and frowned.

“Don’t always say thank you to me.” Keith did not like her being detached from him.

‘The word thank you is as if she’s treating me like a stranger.’

Jasmine smiled lightly, “I won’t say anymore, have you eaten?”

“I ate when I bought it,” Keith replied.

Jasmine walked inside and handed the pan-fried bun to Boyce, “Keith said that this is delicious, try it.”

Originally, Boyce did not want to eat it and wanted her to eat it, but looking at Keith’s expression, he
reached out and took one. He was not sure of what the intention of this action was, but he had done it.

The pan-fried buns were filled with veggies, but the taste was really quite good, the bottom was fried
until it was crispy, the skin was thin and there were a lot of fillings.

The filling was made with leeks, vermicelli and eggs. Shrimp skin was added too, giving it a fragrant
flavour of leeks and the freshness of shrimp skin.

Jasmine opened the lid of the congee and brought it to him, “You’ll choke if you eat this, right? Eat it
with the congee.”

Boyce looked at her and asked, “You have given everything for me to eat, what about you?”

Jasmine smiled and said, “I’m not hungry yet, if I am, I’ll go buy some, I’m not an injured person, I can
walk around anytime.”



Boyce did not take it, “I don’t like congee, you eat it.”

Jasmine put the congee down, “I’ll pour you a glass of water ...”

“You don’t need to take care of me, eat the congee first.” Boyce interrupted her.

She suddenly realised that she was too enthusiastic and made him uncomfortable. She quickly
withdrew her hands, held the congee and took a sip of it.

Boyce handed her the pan-fried bun, “You eat it.” Later, he explained, “I don’t have an appetite.”

“But how can you not eat?” Jasmine did not understand his intention and said, “You have to eat even if
you don’t have an appetite.”

She took a pan-fried bun and handed it to his mouth. Boyce froze for a moment. Soon, Jasmine
realized that her action was a bit inappropriate. When she was about to withdraw her hand, Boyce took
it. In that process, he touched Jasmine’s hand accidentally. They withdrew their hands almost at the
same time.

It was as if they had gotten an electric shock.

Keith could see that they seemed to know each other very well.

Moreover, Jasmine was very nice to him, so he took the initiative to say, “Jasmine, you must not have
had a good night’s rest in the hospital, you shall go back to sleep after eating, I will stay here.”

“I don’t need someone to look after me.” Before Jasmine could say anything, Boyce spoke first. He
swallowed the pan-fried bun that Jasmine handed over to him and lifted the blanket to get out of bed.
Jasmine put down the congee and said, “You can’t get out of bed, the doctor said that you need to be
observed for 48 hours.”



“It’s okay, I know my own body well.” Boyce insisted. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

“Do you want to leave? Let me call a taxi for you,” Keith said.

Boyce lifted his head and looked at Keith, who seemed to chase him away.

‘Why does he want to chase me away?’

Boyce looked at Jasmine.

‘Is it because of her?’

‘Is she in love?’

However, she said that she liked him, had she changed her mind so quickly?

He could not help but felt depressed.

“I can’t leave yet.” Boyce looked at Keith and said, “Her mother had entrusted me to take care of her. I
have to know if she is living well now before I can leave without worrying.”
