“This is from my grandmother. She heard you drank last night and specially went out to buy these medicines. Just accept them. It’s her way of showing kindness,” Jiang Chun maintained an innocent expression, but she suddenly felt a pang of resentment.

Especially since she saw Shen Jun constantly looking at Wen Nian, she found it hard to control her jealousy.

“Well, thank you then,” Wen Nian naturally took the bag from Jiang Chun’s hand. However, Jiang Chun seemed to hesitate, pulling the bag back instinctively, and Wei Chun tugged back with force.

In their struggle, the bag tore open, and several pills spilled out.

“Wen Nian, you! My grandmother told me to bring these medicines to Shen Jun. How can you just waste her kind intentions like this?” Mist formed in Jiang Chun’s eyes, and she looked on the verge of tears, as if she could start crying any moment.

The strangeness in Shen Jun’s heart became more and more obvious as he looked at her.

Just a moment ago, she had been handing over the bag to Wen Nian. Why was she suddenly trying to pull it back?

The classmates around were unsure of what was happening. They only saw the medicines scattered on the floor and Jiang Chun on the brink of tears, seemingly about to burst into tears any second.

Most of them sided with Jiang Chun. Even though she had transferred to another class, her popularity was still good. Almost everyone in the class liked her, so when they witnessed this scene, they immediately thought Wen Nian was at fault.

“I heard Jiang Chun and Shen Jun have known each other since childhood. Could Wen Nian really be jealous to this extent?”

“Yeah, these are medicines from the elders. How could she throw them on the ground?”

“Her jealousy is truly strong. What did Shen Jun see in her?”

“That’s right, Jiang Chun is so nice. She’s obviously gentle and kind-hearted. Wen Nian is really mean.”

Hearing the comments from the classmates, Jiang Chun quickly “defended” Wen Nian: “You’ve misunderstood. I accidentally did that just now. It had nothing to do with Wen Nian. She definitely didn’t do it on purpose.”

She finished speaking and immediately crouched down to pick up the scattered pills from the ground, muttering to herself as if talking to no one in particular, “My grandmother went out to buy these medicines personally last night. We can’t waste them like this.”

The classroom was relatively quiet, and though her voice was soft, every word was clearly audible.

Many classmates came over to help and comfort her, while Jiang Chun continued to explain that Wen Nian really wasn’t doing it “intentionally.”

Wen Nian looked down at her performance and sneered in her heart. Jiang Chun couldn’t wait anymore? This wasn’t her style.

Jiang Chun struggled to pick up all the pills from the floor, pretended to wipe away a tear, and handed the bag back to Shen Jun. “After all, this is a gesture from my grandmother. It’s good to keep it as a backup.”

Suddenly, Shen Jun lowered his head, picked up a small receipt from the ground, furrowed his brow, and said, “It says this was delivered to the security guard during class break today. Jiang Chun, did you receive it? Are you sure your grandmother personally bought this yesterday evening?”

Jiang Chun looked at the receipt in his hand incredulously. She had tossed away the receipt from the takeout packaging, but how did one end up inside?

Wen Nian glanced at the receipt. “It seems Miss Jiang doesn’t understand the procedure for ordering medicine online. The outer one is from the food delivery app, while the inner one is the essential receipt from the pharmacy. It’s required for exchanges and after-sales service.”

“Maybe my grandmother couldn’t go out conveniently, so she ordered it online.” Jiang Chun felt somewhat guilty, but she regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. She had just said her grandmother personally bought them last night.

She knew that saying more now wouldn’t help. No matter how she explained, it would not make sense. Her eyes turned red and she took the bag away.

Looking distressed and holding back tears, her voice slightly hoarse, she said, “Since Wei Xiao gave you medicine too, and Wen Nian doesn’t want you to take my medicine, then forget it. I’ll leave first.”

Wen Nian truly admired this woman’s mental resilience. Not only did she remain composed under pressure, but she also managed to find a way out instantly.

Meanwhile, many classmates also understood now. When Wen Nian showed the takeout receipt, it was clear that Jiang Chun was using her grandmother’s name deliberately to give Shen Jun the medicine.

A few students felt a bit awkward. They looked at Wen Nian with apologetic expressions before quickly grabbing their bags and leaving the classroom.

Wen Nian didn’t want to argue with her any longer, but suddenly she heard Shen Jun speak, “Wen Nian didn’t intentionally throw the medicine on the ground. It was you who tugged the bag back, causing it to tear and the pills to fall.”

“W-what?” Jiang Chun’s expression hadn’t yet adjusted. It even carried a hint of anger.

“You tugged the bag, and that’s why it tore. Wen Nian didn’t purposely throw the medicine.” Shen Jun repeated himself.

His face was expressionless, and his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuations, almost completely shattering Jiang Chun’s last trace of self-esteem..
