Lu Qiuya was startled and subconsciously withdrew her hand from the vase.

"elder brother......"

A trace of surprise flashed across Fan Shengnan's face. She didn't expect Lu Zhan to suddenly shout to stop her.

After a moment, during an awkward silence, Lu Zhan spoke again:

"I know the person who sent the flowers. Just leave it there and don't touch it."

Although he said a few more words this time, Lu Zhan's voice was exceptionally low, and his tone was dull yet filled with unquestionable persistence.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Qiuya withdrew her hand in disappointment. Although her brother was usually serious and spoke to her in a stern manner like an old father, he rarely yelled at her as fiercely as he did just now. For a moment, she felt a little aggrieved.

Fan Shengnan looked at Lu Zhan with a stern face, thinking about something.

After a moment, she said to Lu Qiuya in a gentle voice:

"Qiuya, come with me to the pharmacy and get the medicine I prescribed for your brother."

Lu Qiuya glanced at Lu Zhan secretly, and seeing that he had a cold face and obviously didn't want to talk to her, she pursed her lips and nodded:

"Okay, Sister Shengnan."

As soon as she walked out of the ward, Lu Qiuya's nose turned red, her mouth pouted, and she complained in a muffled voice:

"I just asked my brother who the person who sent the flowers to was, but he didn't say he knew him. If he had told me earlier, I wouldn't have thrown them away. Why is he mad at me for no reason..."

Fan Shengnan had originally wanted to ease the awkwardness by finding a reason to call Lu Qiuya out, but when she heard her say that, she felt something in her heart:

"Did you see who brought the flowers? A man...a woman?"

Lu Qiuya nodded with a depressed look on her face:

"I saw it, an old man."

When she heard that the person who sent the flowers was a man, Fan Shengnan felt relieved.

Although she knew it was unlikely, the moment she saw the wintersweet flowers, she couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering if Shao Jingque had returned.

After calming down, she patted Lu Qiuya on the shoulder and comforted her:

"Qiuya, don't take it to heart. Your brother was seriously injured and has been lying in bed for such a long time. It's normal for him to be in a bad mood. Please be more understanding and considerate at this time."

Lu Qiuya thought about it and felt that what Sister Shengnan said made sense.

Her brother was seriously injured and lying in bed. He had suffered a lot. He just spoke in a harsh tone. Now was not the time for her to lose her temper.

"Yes, I understand, Sister Shengnan."

Fan Shengnan smiled, took out a piece of chocolate from her bag and handed it to her:

"I forgot to give it to you this morning, so I brought it from home just for you. I wonder if you like it?"

Seeing the three artistic words "Chocolate" printed on the red and white paper, Lu Qiuya suddenly opened her eyes wide, both of them shining, and all the grievances she had just suffered were thrown behind her mind -

This is chocolate!

Who doesn't love chocolate?!

Although her brother sent her enough living expenses every month, he never sent her these novel snacks. Every time, she could only watch a classmate from a well-off family eat and drink delicious food, and she was reluctant to spend money to buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Once she agreed to help that classmate with the cleaning. To express her gratitude, that classmate took out this ** chocolate and broke off a small corner for her.

That was her first and only time to eat chocolate. Even if it was just a small piece, the unprecedented rich and sweet taste was deeply engraved in her mind, making her unforgettable for a long time.

And now, Sister Shengnan actually gave her a whole piece of chocolate. Lu Qiuya felt so happy that she was about to burst into bubbles!

"Thank you, Sister Shengnan! I love chocolate the most!"

Looking at Lu Qiuya who was spinning around happily, Fan Shengnan raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth——

If only she could get her favorite thing too.

"I know the person who sent the flowers."

Lu Zhan’s words are still ringing in my ears.

For some reason, Fan Shengnan felt that he was definitely not talking about the man Qiuya saw. She knew who he was talking about.

Fan Shengnan suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted her final compromise in the operating room that day.

Because she actually knew in her heart that Lu Zhan's actual condition was not serious enough to require such radical treatment, so after a fierce struggle between her inner self and morality, she finally chose to follow another doctor's treatment plan and give Lu Zhan conservative treatment.

The results of the operation were very good. There were almost no new injuries to be repaired, which naturally would not affect Lu Zhan's memory.

The smile on her face gradually turned bitter. After all, she was greedy.

Even if she put aside the constraints of morality, she was reluctant to let Lu Zhan forget the good times when they first met, even though it was just an ordinary memory in Lu Zhan's heart.

Lu Zhan remembers her, but doesn't care about her. He doesn't remember her, but cares about her everywhere.

......

Yue Feiying used the photo to reach a new agreement with Qi Shengzhi.

Before Shao Jingque and Ding Ling rented a suitable house, they temporarily lived on the second floor of No. 1 Wuhuai Street.

During this period, Yue Feiying and Qi Shengzhi lived in the same room and were not allowed to disclose their true marital status to anyone. They slept in the same bed, but refrained from any indecent behavior.

As for the second point, Yue Feiying explained that it was a complete act. The two of them slept in separate rooms right after their wedding, which was obviously problematic and would definitely arouse suspicion. If the news leaked out and was known by both families, everyone would be in trouble.

Qi Shengzhi thought that at most he would just have to hold on for a few days. Once the two people upstairs rented a house and moved out, he and Yue Feiying would naturally be able to return to their previous "normal" life of not interfering with each other, so he reluctantly agreed.

In the words of Yue Feiying:

“bussiness is bussiness.”

Qi Shengzhi understood this sentence, business is business.

For the sake of the common goal, she, a lesbian, doesn't mind. If he, a grown man, still acts hesitantly, it would be too pretentious!

That night, Yue Feiying moved into Qi Shengzhi's room openly and slept on his big bed.

Unexpectedly, Qi Shengzhi had prepared two quilts in advance and put a thin blanket on the outside, so even if someone suddenly broke in while he was sleeping, it would not be discovered.

After Yue Feiying went to bed and found two quilts in one bed, she "praised" Qi Shengzhi with a forced smile for his thoughtfulness and consideration. In the middle of the night, she reached to the side and found that Qi Shengzhi had wrapped himself tightly like a mummy, with the edges of the quilt firmly pressed under his body, leaving no gaps for air to leak out.

This "anti-wolf" measure was so thorough that it really pissed Yue Feiying off. What did this bastard think of her?!

The next morning, although it was a rare weekend, No. 1 Wuhuai Street was deserted.

Shao Jingque went to the art troupe to work overtime to choreograph a new program for the Spring Festival Gala. Ding Ling asked Wang Tao to accompany her to look at houses for rent nearby. Yue Feiying had a rare chance to go back to the Yue family for a meal.

Qi Shengzhi took the photo back to the Qi family.
