Shi Jin once read a book. It was supposed to be about satisfying the desire for vengeance.
The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father...
After returning from the airport, Shi Jin checked out of the hotel room and moved into the hospital to accompany Fei Yujing.
Fei Yujing leaned on the bed, in front of him was a plate of apples that Shi Jin had peeled and cut, and next to him was a tablet.
"What is this..." he asked.
Shi Jin made the bed and turned around to sit next to his bed. He also picked up a tablet and said, "A patient should act like a patient. Don't work anymore. I'll teach you something that doesn't require much brainpower."
"Mahjong?" Fei Yujing answered immediately.
Shi Jin's eyebrows twitched and he said, "No, I've seen through it. For you elites, mahjong is a game that requires more brains. Let's not play that. Let's play another online adventure action game. Open the two-player mode. Don't hold me back."
Brothers playing games together online, it seems to be very interesting.
Fei Yujing glanced at Shi Jin and picked up the tablet in front of him.
In order to take care of the novice, Shi Jin chose the easy level when choosing the game mode, but even so, their journey to pass the level became extremely difficult. Two-player games require cooperation. The two of them have no tacit understanding, and the heads are always sent to inexplicable places. Eight out of ten games are lost.
Shi Jin was so depressed that he wanted to blow Fei Yujing's head off. Fei Yujing also frowned, looking like he couldn't understand the logic of the game at all.
"Why don't we play mahjong?" Shi Jin couldn't help but suggest.
Fei Yujing, however, had already been inspired by the game and refused directly, saying, "No, we just don't have good coordination, not technical problems. We can definitely pass this level after a little practice."
Shi Jin wailed on the surface, but secretly said that he had been hooked, and pretended to be helpless to start the next game.
Win or lose... Unknowingly, a whole morning passed, and the two slowly got used to each other's attack rhythm and pace, and learned to guess each other's next move bit by bit. The cooperation became more and more tacit, and the number of times they passed the level gradually increased.
After lunch, Fei Yujing, who had tasted victory, wanted to continue playing the game, but Shi Jin waved his hand, dragged him out of the ward, and took him for a walk in the hospital garden.
It was not until he came into the sunshine outside that Fei Yujing realized that he had not thought about work all morning, nor did he feel any pain in the wound. He sideways glanced at Shi Jin who was walking beside him, curled his lips slightly, gestured to the bodyguard-like people following behind the two of them, and took the initiative to start a conversation, asking, "Are these people sent by Lian Jun?"
"Well, this is to protect you. Meng Qing may very well do something to you." Shi Jin replied, feeling a little guilty, and said, "I'm sorry for making you live this kind of life where you have to be on guard against danger all the time."
"No need to apologize, I'm paid to work for Lian Jun, and taking risks is part of the job. I don't think you need to apologize to me," Fei Yujing continued. Shi Jin
paused when he heard this, turned to look at him and said, "I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."
Fei Yujing was puzzled, met his gaze, and it took him a few seconds to realize that he was using interests to organize and deal with these emotional expressions. After a pause, he said, "I'm sorry, that was not my intention just now. I said that because I hope you don't feel burdened. We are brothers, and brothers should support and help each other. There is no such thing as dragging each other down. You don't need to apologize for this."
"...That's more like it." Shi Jin was satisfied. He held his arm and led him forward. After walking two steps, he thought of something and said, "Don't apologize all the time. It's too polite."
Fei Yujing said, "But it was obviously you who..."
"I will also learn not to apologize all the time. Anyway, we are learning together, so don't pay too much attention to the details." Shi Jin brushed it off, glanced at him, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's watch a movie on the tablet together this afternoon, instead of playing games. It's tiring to play games all the time."
Fei Yujing responded with interest, "Okay."
...
After the walk, the two returned to the ward to find a movie to watch.
Fei Yujing stretched out his hand and clicked on the horror movie category. Shi Jin's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled back the category and chose a comedy movie.
Fei Yujing was puzzled: "Don't you like horror movies?"
Who would like horror movies!
Shi Jin wanted to refute, but before he opened his mouth, he remembered that he had scared Fei Yujing with a horror movie in Country L. He coughed and hesitated between fooling around and being honest for a while. In the end, he chose to be honest and replied, "Actually, I don't like horror movies."
As expected, Fei Yujing frowned and said, "Then in Country L..."
"I saw that you were haunted by nightmares and couldn't sleep. I was afraid that you would collapse after staying up all night, and it would affect Lian Jun, so I thought that maybe I could use a horror movie to fight poison with poison..." Shi Jin looked at Fei Yujing, whose aura was slowly sinking, and lowered his voice a little bit. He raised the corners of his mouth and showed him a smile mixed with guilt and embarrassment, and whispered, "I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good... Anyway, you see that I am so honest with you, and I am telling you the truth. You can also learn to be more honest with me. Of course, it's not the honesty in the sense you used to be, but honesty in this sense... Well, actually I don't know what I'm talking about." After saying that, he lowered his head and deeply reflected on his own talkativeness.
Fei Yujing looked at his hairy head and couldn't help but reach out and flick his forehead. Shi Jin
immediately looked up at him, frowning - it hurt a little, and he wanted to fight back.
"I feel very happy." Fei Yujing said, and gently rubbed the place where he was hit twice, "I know that you really watched the horror movie with me to accompany me and help me. I feel very happy, but I also feel very sorry for you. I was too cold to you at that time. I'm sorry... No, I won't do that in the future. Thank you."
He stopped the apology that was about to come out in time and chose to say thank you, thanking Shi Jin for his gentleness and tolerance.
Shi Jin couldn't frown any more, so he said something cunning, leaned over to the tablet in his hand, and said while selecting the movies: "I remember there was a very popular animated movie last year, it was very interesting, let's watch that one."
Fei Yujing flicked him again and said: "I'm not cunning, I'm just being honest about what I think. Also, don't end the topic so abruptly."
"Shut up! The movie has started." Shi Jin pushed his hand away, "Of course I know all this... Do you understand the subtlety of Chinese euphemisms! We're watching a movie, pay attention."
"Are you shy?" Fei Yujing asked.
"I told you to pay attention!" Shi Jin glared at him.
"Didn't you ask me to be honest?" Fei Yujing continued to ask.
Shi Jin: "...Don't talk while watching a movie!"
...
After watching the movie, the two took a nap, then discussed work together, and then had dinner together. After dinner, they walked around the room a few times, then watched the news, and finally washed up and started chatting in bed.
"When the gifts you sent were delivered to my school by express, I almost refused to accept them. There were more than a dozen boxes, and one of them was books. It was too much." Shi Jin complained, raising his hands to support the back of his head. Thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help laughing again. "But after opening the box and seeing the contents of the gifts, I was glad that I didn't refuse. I like those books very much, thank you, second brother."
Fei Yujing said honestly: "You're welcome. I deliberately sent the express from different places because I guessed that you might refuse to accept it. I also specifically instructed the express delivery point there to ask the courier boy to convince you to accept the express delivery."
"..." In such a warm atmosphere, some unpleasant truths don't need to be said.
Shi Jin suddenly felt that being too frank was not a good thing, so he paused for a few seconds and continued, "My good friend who was unpacking the boxes with me said you were romantic. Brother, how did you come up with the idea of giving me those things?"
Having such a random night chat with someone was a very novel experience for Fei Yujing. He tilted his head to look at Shi Jin's slightly hazy face in the night, and continued to answer honestly: "Because I want you to think of me every time you see those gifts. There are many kinds of gifts, whether it is money or expensive items, all of which will be used up or tired of by you one day, but magnificent stories and artworks with collection value may accompany you for a lifetime. I want you to remember me even if you hate me in the future." Shi Jin
was a little desperate and said, "In fact, you only need to say 'I think you will like it' at this time. Also, your answer just now is very easy to be misunderstood. Second brother, why do you have to calculate people's hearts even when giving gifts? Aren't you tired?"
"Calculating a person's heart is the highest expression of my appreciation for that person. If it's the third brother, I'm sorry, let alone giving him a birthday present, I don't even bother to remember his birthday." Fei Yujing didn't forget to pull out Rong Zhouzhong and whip his corpse even at this time. Shi Jin
thought of Rong Zhouzhong who was tortured for no reason this time. He should have sympathized with him, but he wanted to laugh for no reason. After struggling for a while, his conscience finally won over the smile and he said, "Second brother, don't always bully the third brother, he's a good guy."
"Didn't you bully him too? I gave him a centipede pillow last year." Fei Yujing didn't have any intention of reflecting on himself, and even tried to draw Shi Jin into his camp. Shi
Jin choked and retorted, "He was the one who gave me the cucumber pillow first, and that was justified revenge... Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's change the subject."
Fei Yujing suddenly chuckled.
This was the first time Shi Jin heard his laughter, low and soft, the sound slightly softened, like the whisper of a piano, very nice to hear. Shi Jin was stunned, turned his head to look in the direction of the hospital bed, and asked Xiaosi to buff him with night vision.
In order not to put pressure on the wound, Fei Yujing on the bed could only lie on his back. At this time, he was raising his hand and pressing his fist on his forehead, his mouth curled up and his eyes were slightly bent, his chest was shaking slightly, and his whole person was incredibly gentle, as if he had become another person.
Shi Jin widened his eyes slightly, and felt as if he had met Fei Yujing all over again.
Fei Yujing only laughed a few times before stopping. He put down his hands and folded his expression, returning to his normal self. He looked over and really changed the subject, asking, "Xiao Jin, do you no longer dislike Huanggua?"
Their eyes seemed to make brief contact, and Shi Jin was startled. He knew that Fei Yujing didn't have the night market buff and couldn't see his face clearly at night, but he still felt guilty and awkward for being caught peeking at him. He replied vaguely, "Well, I don't dislike it anymore, but I can't say I like it either."
Fei Yujing could tell something was wrong with his voice and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
"No." Shi Jin retorted, and found that his voice was a little high, so he lowered it quickly and said, "No, I'm not sleepy yet, I usually go to bed around eleven o'clock."
Fei Yujing took out his mobile phone to check the time, and saw that it was only a little after nine o'clock, so he felt relieved and said tentatively: "It's still early, Xiao Jin, can you tell me about your life in school? I want to know you better."
This seemed to be the first time that Fei Yujing took the initiative to care about his school life. Shi Jin retracted his gaze and looked at the dark ceiling, slowly calmed down, and replied: "Actually, I didn't spend much time in school, and there was nothing much to say about the coursework. I made two very good friends in school..."
Fei Yujing listened carefully, unwilling to miss any syllable.
...
In the days that followed, Shi Jin would find new things to entertain Fei Yujing every day. They played games, watched movies, read magazines, and read gossip. They chatted before going to bed, said good morning to each other when they woke up early, and gradually got to know each other's lives and became close.
Comfortable days can easily make people lose their sense of time. A week later, when the doctor announced that Fei Yujing's lung condition had basically stabilized, the wound was gradually healing, and he could be discharged from the hospital for rest, Fei Yujing actually felt a little unreal.
"Can you be discharged from the hospital?" Fei Yujing asked.
The doctor smiled and said, "Yes, you are recovering well and can be discharged at any time."
Fei Yujing touched his chest, which was no longer aching, and took out his phone to check the date. After a quick estimate, he found that he had been hospitalized for more than ten days.
If it had been so long before, he would have given up, but now, he didn't feel that many days had passed.
It turned out that Shi Jin had been here for more than a week. Has it been that long... He frowned slightly and looked towards the bathroom.
Shi Jin happened to come out with a basin of washed strawberries. Seeing the doctor in the ward, he was stunned for a moment, then hurried over and asked, "Doctor, why are you here? Are the results of my brother's examination out? How is his recovery?"
"I'm here to inform Lawyer Fei about his discharge from the hospital. The examination results are out. It has been confirmed that the injury to Lawyer Fei's lung is healing on its own, and it will be completely healed in half a month at most." The doctor answered respectfully. He was sent by Lian Jun and was a man of Mie. He respected Shi Jin, the deputy leader, very much. Shi Jin
felt a little more relaxed after hearing that, and then continued to ask, "What about the ribs? How is it?"
"It has recovered well, and just needs rest." The doctor replied with a smile, and then thought of something and said, "In addition, Master Jun has asked me to continue to follow Lawyer Fei for a period of time after Lawyer Fei is discharged from the hospital to ensure Lawyer Fei's safety, so Master Shi, you don't have to worry too much."
When Shi Jin heard him mention Lian Jun, his eyes were briefly dazed, and then he immediately came back to his senses, nodded to show that he understood, smiled at him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty." The doctor replied respectfully, then nodded to Fei Yujing and politely said goodbye.
Fei Yujing noticed Shi Jin's brief distraction and frowned slightly. After the doctor left, he asked Shi Jin, "I can be discharged from the hospital. Are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. The less time people spend in a hospital, the better. Being healthy and safe is the most important thing." Shi Jin sat down beside the bed with strawberries in his hand and asked, "Are you unhappy? Didn't you find hospitalization troublesome and wanted to go back to work as soon as possible?"
Fei Yujing said, "I don't remember saying that."
"Third brother said you said that." Shi Jin replied, then shook his head in dissatisfaction, "You can't do that. Work is important, but health is more important. I think you should take a regular vacation every year to relax. Money is something you can't make enough of."
Fei Yujing made a note of Rong Zhouzhong in his heart, and looking at him busy picking strawberries, he said, "Go back." Shi
Jin was stunned and looked up at him, "What?"
"I'm free here, you can go back." Fei Yujing took the bowl of strawberries from him and said, "Didn't you say that your two friends really want to go out and play with you? Go back and make good use of the summer vacation to get in touch with your friends."
Shi Jin frowned slowly and said, "Brother, I've said before that it's best for us to communicate as frankly as possible. The way we think about problems is too different. If we are not honest, it is easy to cause misunderstandings. I heard what you just said. "I thought you were getting angry with me because I advised you to take a vacation every year, and you wanted to drive me away."
Fei Yujing also frowned and asked, "Do you think so?" Shi Jin
nodded, "Yes, because your words were too incoherent and made people think too much." Fei
Yujing reflected seriously and then said, "I didn't think that what you said just now was interfering with my life. I know you were concerned about me. But Xiaojin, you didn't tell me the truth."
"What?" Shi Jin didn't understand, and asked, "Second brother, you can't argue with me, so you start to blame me?"
Fei Yujing shook his head and asked, "You miss Lian Jun a lot, right?" Shi
Jin didn't understand the direction of this topic, and nodded and said, "Of course, it's normal for lovers to miss each other."
"Then why didn't you tell me." Shi
Jin was puzzled: "What's there to say about such a private matter, and you didn't ask me."
Fei Yujing was silent - it seemed to be so.
The two were silent, and then they both realized that they seemed to have had a meaningless quarrel peacefully. Shi Jin sighed, sat down beside the bed, snatched the strawberry from Fei Yujing, ate one with a frown, and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly let me go? Are you afraid that I will still control you after you are discharged from the hospital and not allow you to work?"
"No." Fei Yujing also corrected his attitude and said in detail, "I found that you missed Lian Jun very much. In order to prevent you from falling ill from lovesickness, I advised you to go back as soon as possible. I hope you will be happier, although I don't really want you to leave."
Shi Jin stopped chewing the strawberry and looked up at him.
Fei Yujing looked at him, still with that coffin face. Shi Jin
rolled his eyes and picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his hand.
Fei Yujing accepted it naturally, and asked while eating, "Are you leaving?" Shi
Jin nodded, "Yes, I really miss Lian Jun, and I plan to leave after you are discharged from the hospital."
Fei Yujing felt that the strawberry was not sweet at all.
"I will miss you." Shi Jin added, and stuffed another strawberry into his mouth, and said, "You should take good care of yourself, and don't be so anxious about work... Or you can just go back to City B with me. The nursing home where Lian Jun lives has a good environment. Do you want to go? You can hand over your work here to your assistant, or I will ask Lian Jun to find someone to help you."
Fei Yujing took a look at the strawberry in his hand, raised his hand and stuffed it into his mouth: "Hmm." This one is sweet.
...
Finally, Fei Yujing and Shi Jin boarded the plane back to City B. Gua Er looked at the two brothers with a hard time, shook his head and went to chat with Gua Wu. More than
ten hours later, the plane landed in City B. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Lian Jun did not come to the airport to pick him up.
Fei Yujing was very dissatisfied and said, "I thought he would pay more attention to you." Shi
Jin hurriedly spoke for Lian Jun: "I didn't let him come to pick him up. He is now undergoing rehabilitation and his daily schedule is fixed. If he comes to the airport to pick him up, his schedule will be completely messed up."
"Then he should call."
"He should be asleep by now, why is he calling?" Shi Jin continued to provide maintenance.
Fei Yujing looked at him sideways, his brows were furrowed, as if he was looking at a tyrant whose mind was bewitched by a monster.
Shi Jin ignored him and lowered his head to concentrate on organizing the gifts prepared for the "monster".
...
At nearly twelve o'clock, the car arrived at the nursing home. Shi Jin was the first to get off the car, leaving Fei Yujing and Gua Er and his group behind, and rushed into the comprehensive building with the gifts, running towards the room where Lian Jun was.
Fei Yujing got out of the car and looked at his back as he left, his brows furrowed.
"Be more open-minded, a girl raised in a way that will eventually lead to such a day." Gua Er patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Fei Yujing looked at him sideways, pulled his hand away coldly, and said, "Xiao Jin is a boy." After that, he also walked towards the comprehensive building.
Gua Er: "...Tsk." He came back with a problem.
…
Lian Jun’s room is located on the fourth floor of the complex, at the end of the corridor, in a large suite. Shi Jin ran to the door of the suite, tried to adjust his breathing, and then carefully turned the doorknob.
With a click, the doorknob turned, the door slowly moved back, and warm light shone out.
Wait, light?
Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and a familiar figure appeared.
"You're back." Lian Jun stood inside the door in a bathrobe, his eyes clear and his hair neat, obviously he had been waiting until now.
Shi Jin's eyes widened, his gaze paused on his standing legs, then looked back at his face, raised his voice and said, "You haven't slept yet? It's past twelve o'clock, and you're staying up late?"
Lian Jun didn't say anything, suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, pulled him into the room, then closed the door and pressed him against the door panel, held his face with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss him.
