Chen Qizhao opened his mouth slightly, bit the apple, and looked at Shen Yuhuai steadily.

Shen Yuhuai turned sideways without looking at him, lowered his eyes and continued cutting the apple.

The fruit knife was extremely nimble in his hands, and he cut off another piece in a short while.

He stuck the fruit knife into the apple and handed the sliced ​​apple to him.

“…”

Chen Qizhao chewed hard, but just as he finished eating, another piece came. He had no time to talk, and even accidentally bit Shen Yuhuai's finger.

"Sorry." Chen Qizhao's words were unclear.

"It's okay." Shen Yuhuai commented: "The teeth are quite sharp."

Chen Qizhao: “…”

With less time for nonsense, an apple can be eaten very quickly.

He sank to the last piece of apple under the Huai slice, and glimpsed the other fruits in the basket. He asked, "What else do you want to eat?"

Chen Qizhao: “…I’m full.”

Shen Yuhuai nodded when he heard this, took off the gloves on his hands, and went to the bathroom to wash the fruit knife. Chen Qizhao watched the other person's actions, and when Shen Yuhuai came back, he sorted out his words and asked: "Chen Shi...my brother said that I was talking nonsense yesterday, is it true?"

"Yeah, that's a lot." Shen Yuhuai wiped his hands and looked at him after hearing that.

Chen Qizhao paused for two seconds before asking, "I didn't say anything nonsense, did I?"

Shen Yuhuai saw Chen Qizhao's current appearance, and then thought about the other party's slightly out-of-control performance in the chaos last night. If you think about it carefully, Chen Qizhao's words at that time had many loopholes and his thoughts jumped very quickly, but the emotions expressed in his words were very chaotic, especially when the other party stated a fact in an almost certain tone, even if the state was out of control, it would make people think about the so-called truth in the other party's eyes.

At that time, Chen Qizhao was very sure that he did not see anything, and he also hoped that he saw something, but the scene imagined by the other party did not exist in his memory.

Even though it was just a passage that might have been in Chen Qizhao’s imagination, Shen Yuhuai seemed to hear some kind of truth in Chen Qizhao’s tone, which was a very strange feeling.

“No, your expression in the first part was quite clear, and I can communicate with you.” Shen Yuhuai did not mention Chen Qizhao in that state, but said: “I guess your consciousness is a little unclear in the second half. If it is not complete, we will go to the hospital afterwards.”

"Oh." Chen Qizhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then did you hear anything?"

Seeing that he was curious, Shen Yuhuai said, “Yes.”

Chen Qizhao looked at him.

Shen Yuhuai thought for a moment and said, “It seems to be a person’s name. I read a few of them but didn’t hear them clearly.”

He then added: "I don't remember the rest clearly."

Chen Qizhao lowered his head. As for the names, they were probably those old guys from his previous life. Now it seems that no one said much at that time. Fortunately, Shen Yuhuai took him to the lounge. In his confused state, he had no idea what he would say or do. Moreover, Lin Shizhong was still there at the time. If he spoke nonsense in an occasion like a party and made the other party suspicious, all his efforts would be wasted.

He was relieved, but when he looked up and met Shen Yuhuai's eyes, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

I can’t describe the feeling.

Chen Qizhao attributed this feeling to the side effects of the drugs, and thinking of this he added another expense to Lin Shizhong's account.

Shen Yuhuai noticed that Chen Qizhao was a little depressed. He observed Chen Qizhao for a while and found that his ears were not red like last night, but out of caution he still reached out to test the temperature of Chen Qizhao's forehead.

Chen Qizhao shrank his neck when he was touched by the cold hand, and smelled the mint scent on Chen Yuhuai's sleeve more clearly.

"The temperature is normal." Shen Yuhuai added: "Your body temperature rose last night, so don't drink too much next time."

Chen Qizhao paused and was about to explain a few words.

Shen Yuhuai said, "It's good to drink more juice."

Not long after he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then Yan Kailin and Liu Kai walked in. When several people came in, they didn't expect Shen Yuhuai to be here. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they restrained themselves a little. Yan Kailin took the lead and called out "Brother Huai" before going to Chen Qizhao's side.

"Brother Zhao, are you feeling better? I was so scared. I was shocked last night when Brother Huai told me that I had an allergy." Yan Kailin came over and looked around. "Why are your ears a little red? Are you still not well from the allergy? Could it be an allergy to alcohol?"

Allergic to alcohol? Chen Qizhao looked up and met Chen Yuhuai's gaze. The latter nodded to him and sat down in the empty chair next to him, giving the seat next to the bed to Chen Qizhao's friend.

Chen Qizhao: "It's not an alcohol allergy."

Yan Kailin: "Oh my god, what kind of allergy is that? This is too dangerous. I've even been admitted to the hospital."

Chen Qizhao: “…The allergen was not found.”

Another person said, "It was so scary last night. Your brother's assistant pulled me aside and asked what you drank."

Chen Qizhao secretly glanced at Shen Yuhuai, and when he saw that the other party was not looking at this side, he glanced at Yan Kailin again.

Yan Kailin didn't notice Chen Qizhao's hint. He recalled that his assistant's expression was a little ferocious at the time, and whispered, "It's good that he's not allergic to alcohol. If he is allergic to alcohol, we can only compete with milk instead of alcohol."

Chen Qizhao: “…”

He wanted to skip the topic of drinking and took the initiative to ask another question: "What happened at the venue last night?"

"It's a good thing you left quickly. Something was stolen from the venue yesterday and the police were here."

When Cheng Rong saw him asking about what happened last night, he said in a few words: "I heard that two waiters were taken away in the end."

After hearing this, Chen Qizhao could probably understand the whole story.

In the end, only a few people knew about what happened last night. Chen Shiming was very efficient and did not let any other news leak out. Even when the police cordoned off the scene, they made up an excuse that valuables were lost. He was also hospitalized because of an allergic reaction. Since Lin Shizhong dared to have someone put something in his wine, he must have made sufficient preparations for the follow-up. The result of the investigation is obvious. It is the waiter who put the drug in his wine, and the person behind the scenes is most likely someone who has a grudge against their Chen family, so he successfully diverted the blame.

Moreover, Lin Shizhong is meticulous in his work. Perhaps this was a conspiracy he had arranged long ago, but the beginning of the conspiracy was replaced by drugging him instead of doing something else.

After all, robbing things is such a shameful thing, Lin Shizhong probably wanted to make him look bad in public and make the Chen family lose face, but Lin Shizhong would not do meaningless things impulsively, even if he did, he would only take advantage of it.

But what Lin Shizhong’s purpose is remains to be seen.

Lin Shizhong has always been good at doing these things, finding a scapegoat to divert trouble, or using someone else's knife to help get rid of certain targets. Next, as long as we pay attention to Lin Shizhong's movements, it is not difficult to guess the old fox's subsequent actions.

"Oh, by the way, brother, have you settled the matter of that jade necklace?" Yan Kailin asked.

"Chen Shi...my brother should have taken care of it." Chen Qizhao almost called Chen Shiming's name again. There was no rush about the necklace, and the things that were photographed would not run away. He could just ask Special Assistant Xu to deal with it later.

Cheng Rong looked at Chen Qizhao with an expression of looking at a fool, and said, "I heard from Linzi that you spent all the penalty money. Is it worth it to bid for a necklace? Doesn't that mean you've spent all your money?"

Liu Kai added: "That's definitely gone. Didn't Qin Xingfeng ask Xiao Zhao to borrow money before? Didn't Xiao Zhao tell us that all the money was invested?"

Shen Yuhuai just poured him a glass of water. Hearing this, he glanced at Chen Qizhao with a puzzled look in his eyes: "What went in?"

Chen Qizhao didn't know how the topic jumped from drinking to his auction, he euphemistically said: "No, I just bought something for my mother, it doesn't count as smashing it."

"Not only that, Qin Xingfeng, that villain, cheated Xiao Zhao of all her money and now wants to cheat us." Liu Kai continued, "And Chen Shiming usually deducts Xiao Zhao's pocket money. If we bid for this necklace, won't we be poor?"

Chen Qizhao: “……?”

Cheng Rong: "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhao has mentioned this before."

Chen Qizhao: “…”

When he was 18 years old, it seemed that Chen Shiming had deducted his pocket money, apparently because he spent too much.

Yan Kailin was confused when he heard this. He still remembered that Chen Qizhao had clearly said that he was very rich during the auction. As he listened, Cheng Rong led him astray, "Brother, you can tell me if you don't have money."

As soon as Chen Qizhao missed the opportunity to reply, Cheng Rong and Liu Kai had already briefly talked about the "tragic incident" of his investment being defrauded, and Yan Kailin was there to add fuel to the fire. The topic changed very quickly. These people seemed to be worried that he was too bored in the hospital, so they tried hard to find various topics to talk about. If Yan Kailin had not restrained himself in front of Shen Yuhuai, these people would have exposed his past.

After delivering the water, Shen Yuhuai stood by the window, looking down at his phone slightly, occasionally glancing in their direction.

They talked for a long time, and finally Chen Qizhao said he wanted to take a break and sent the noisy group away.

After Yan Kailin and others left, Shen Yuhuai came over to help him adjust the flow rate of the drip and reminded him: “Your lips are a little dry, you can drink more water.”

Chen Qizhao picked up the water cup and took two sips. He suddenly explained, "Don't listen to what they say. It's not as exaggerated as they say."

Shen Yuhuai glanced at him slightly, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Did they say anything?"

"No." Chen Qizhao shut up.

One of them was sitting on the hospital bed, and the other was sitting on a chair beside the bed. Neither of them spoke, and the ward fell into a brief silence.

Seeing that he didn't say anything else, Shen Yuhuai lowered his eyes and continued to look at the content on his phone. The only clear sound of Chen Qizhao drinking water was in his ears.

Chen Qizhao drank water quite quickly. In the quiet ward, the sound of swallowing in his throat was very obvious.

After a while, the cup of water was placed on the bedside table.

Shen Yuhuai raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at it. Just as he retracted his gaze, he heard a voice that was very close.

When he raised his head slightly, he saw Chen Qizhao who happened to be looking over.

Chen Qizhao slightly turned his body. When he was talking to Yan Kailin and the others just now, Shen Yuhuai had been looking at his phone.

Shen Yuhuai showed him the contents of his phone.

What I saw was densely packed English, and in three sentences Chen Qizhao didn't understand several words.

Shen Yuhuai explained: “Read the journal report.”

He asked again, "Are you interested?"

Chen Qizhao paused when he heard this, and tried to find some common interests with Shen Yuhuai: “I’m a little interested.”

Shen Yuhuai looked at him with a bit of surprise in his eyes, and added an explanation: “This is a material analysis report.”

He can still understand some financial information, but when it comes to professional papers in other fields, he really doesn't understand some of the words.

Chen Qizhao said tactfully: "But I don't quite understand it."

Shen Yuhuai looked up at him and handed him the phone to read: "What don't you understand?"

Chen Qizhao didn't expect him to ask, so he just pointed to one at random.

"Flame retardant polymer." Shen Yuhuai paused for a moment, patiently explaining the meaning of this sentence to him, and then asked: "Anything else?"

Chen Qizhao: “…”

“…Is there?”

Shen Yuhuai tilted his phone so that the other party could see the content better and asked, "Which one?"

-*

Another corner of the hospital.

Zhang Yazhi originally went to get the test report, and after getting the report, the attending physician asked her to go to the office again.

The office was relatively quiet. When Zhang Yazhi arrived, she happened to see a partial brain CT scan hanging on the hanging board.

Because Chen Qizhao had a severe reaction to the drugs, Zhang Yazhi thought it would be safer to do a thorough examination, so she basically did all the relevant examinations.

There were several reports on the doctor's desk. When he saw him coming, he took out a medical record book from the side and took out the reports.

"Ma'am, please sit down. I have a question about Chen Qizhao's condition." The attending doctor handed her a few reports. "Excuse me, does Chen Qizhao usually have any other abnormal behaviors at home?"
