Zhou Yanchen lay bored on the hospital bed, casually browsing the news.

Suddenly, a phone call came in. When he saw the caller ID, his brows wrinkled slightly, and an inexplicable irritation surged in his heart.

To be honest, he really didn't want to answer the call.

I couldn't help but wonder what she would say next.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still stretched out his finger and pressed the answer button. His voice was so faint that no emotion could be heard: "Hello."

On the other end of the phone, Su Xinyao heard his voice and immediately spoke in a soft and artificial voice with tears in her eyes:

"Brother Chen, thank you for helping me make the statement. The online discussion has increased a lot in an instant."

"It's just..." Her voice paused slightly, as if there was something she couldn't hide.

Zhou Yanchen asked impatiently: "Just what?"

Su Xinyao sobbed a few times and continued, "Brother Chen, I know you are just venting your anger, but can you please not sue those people?"

"As you know, my job is in the entertainment industry, which is very dependent on the media."

"If you sue them, your future career will definitely be seriously affected."

"Besides, my mother always hoped that I could do what I like when I grow up. Acting is what I want to do the most. I don't want to disappoint her."

Zhou Yanchen felt mixed emotions when Su Xinyao mentioned her mother.

He was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I got it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, looked at the ceiling, and fell into deep thought.

He really wished that Su Xinyao's mother had not saved him at that time.

Then he would not have kept feeling in debt to Shen Qingli in order to repay him for saving his life.

When he went abroad, Su Xinyao threatened to commit suicide from time to time due to depression.

He had no choice but to wait there until her condition improved.

He once wanted to call Shen Qingli to explain this matter, but every time he thought about how she didn't say a word when he left, and saw her indifferent look, he got angry.

As a result, he never contacted her once in two years.

But he actually came back and saw that she was doing well and didn't miss him at all. He was so angry that he went abroad to develop his career.

Thinking about it now, Zhou Yanchen regrets it.

…

Shen Jinxi had been in the hospital for nearly a week and was finally discharged.

Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu hurried over with Shen Jinnan after they heard the news.

I also brought a discharge gift to Shen Jinxi.

Shen Qingli completed the discharge procedures and returned to the ward. "We can go now."

Pei Yike nodded hurriedly, "Okay, come and hold Xiaobao."

Shen Qingli smiled and tried to stop her: "Yes, there's no need to hold her, she can walk by herself."

Pei Yike looked at Shen Jinxi lovingly and said softly, "That won't work. Our little baby has just recovered and can't be too tired. I don't want to hug her."

After that, she gently picked up Shen Jinxi, her eyes full of love, "Xiaobao, we are going home."

Shen Qingli looked at this scene, shook his head helplessly, but a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You can pamper her."

Just as they were about to leave, Zhou Yanchen asked Chang You to hurry over with gifts.

Chang You arrived at the door of Ward 15 of the Respiratory Department and saw the nurses busy changing the bed sheets.

He came forward with a few people and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, where did the previous patients go?"

The nurse stopped what she was doing, looked up and replied, "She has been discharged from the hospital. She can't leave now."

Chang You nodded slightly in thanks: "Thank you."

Afterwards, he walked back with the ungiven gift, looking a little lonely.

Zhou Yanchen was already dressed neatly, with an upright posture, but the expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.

Seeing that Chang You was still holding the gift, he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Chang You replied in a low voice: "Boss, they have been discharged from the hospital and just left."

A trace of loss flashed across the depths of Zhou Yanchen's eyes. That trace of loss was like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky, fleeting but clearly visible.

He just said "hmm" lightly, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Chang You hurriedly picked up the suitcase and followed closely behind him.

In the car, Shen Qingli broke the silence, "Yike, haven't you already signed a contract with Fengxing? How can you have so much time every day?"

Pei Yike raised the corners of her mouth and replied with a smile: "Soon I won't have so much free time, I have to shoot a movie."

Shen Qingli and Chu Xiaoyu smiled sincerely when they heard this, and congratulated him in unison: "That's right, we can wait to see your debut work."

Pei Yike joked, "Your first role is as the second female lead, so don't be too jealous when you watch it."

Chu Xiaoyu asked curiously: "What kind of play is this? It can't be the kind of play where someone will do anything to win a man, right?"

Pei Yike winked mischievously and said with a smile: "Bingo, yes."

Then, her eyes revealed a hint of determination and satisfaction, and she continued:

"Do you know why you took this role? It's because your opponent is Su Xinyao. In the play, she is a pure and harmless little white lotus, waiting to be 'dealt with' by you."

"It feels so good just thinking about it."

Shen Qingli thought silently in her heart: This character is quite suitable for her.

Chu Xiaoyu said sincerely: "No matter what role you play, we will support you."

"You are our strong backing." Pei Yike suddenly changed the subject, "Ali, are you going to prepare to return to Man?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became solemn, as if a hint of sadness was quietly spreading.

Shen Qingli nodded slightly, "Well, I plan to go back in the next two days. The hospital over there has already sent a message urging me to go back."

Pei Yike's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and she said with a little reluctance: "Ali, don't you plan to come back? You see, we are still here in Beijing, and we can still take care of you."

"You are there, the road is long and high, it's rare for us to see each other, let alone help each other when something happens."

Shen Qingli's gaze slowly moved out of the car window and happened to see the tall building of Zhou Yanchen's Xinyu Group.

There was a trace of confusion in her eyes. "I haven't decided to come back yet. Let's see later. I will come back to see you when I have time."

At night, before going to bed, Shen Jinxi said to Shen Jinnan: "Brother, can you do me a favor?"

"Go get mom's phone and save her phone number for me."

Shen Jinnan looked puzzled: "Whose number is it? Why don't you let mom save it for you?"

"It's an uncle. We agreed to call him at the hospital so he can tell us stories."

"I'm telling you, he's very patient, just like a father telling stories to his children."

"I still want to hear his stories. Mom is taking a bath now. Come on!"

Shen Jinnan glanced at her and said, "When you were little, he sold you out."

"No, he's a good man, just go."

"Okay, stop pushing me, it's okay to just go!"

Shen Jinnan saw that her sister had just been discharged from the hospital today, so it was difficult for her to refuse her.

He quickly took out his phone and saved the number. "What's the note?"

Shen Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "Just mark it as Dream Hero."

Zhou Yanchen just got home from work. He checked his phone and the boy said he wanted to call him, but it had been so many hours and there was no call at all.

Just as he was about to put his phone back in his pocket, it vibrated. Seeing the caller ID, he immediately picked up the call, then ran upstairs to the bedroom and found where he had put the picture book.

He panted and asked, "What do you want to hear, Xiaobao? I'll tell you now."

Shen Jinxi mentioned the name, and Zhou Yanchen found the book from many picture books and began to describe it vividly.

After the story was told, Zhou Yanchen didn't hear any response, "Xiaobao, are you asleep?"

Soon, a childish male voice came from the receiver, "Uncle, my sister just fell asleep."

"Thank you uncle for telling stories to my sister."

Shen Qingli packed some luggage and passed by Shen Jinnan's room. She wanted to see if their quilts were covered properly.

She opened the door and walked in. She saw Shen Jinnan holding a phone and a watch in his hand. "Dabao, why are you still awake? What are you doing?"

When Shen Qingli called out the word "Dabao", Shen Jinnan hung up the phone.

Zhou Yanchen looked at the screen of his mobile phone. Why did that voice just now seem familiar?
