Chapter 39 Chen Zhan, Look Back

At three o'clock in the afternoon, grandma was pushed out of the operating room and was sent to the intensive care unit for two days of observation. She would be transferred to the general ward only after complications were ruled out.

The operation was over, but the anesthetic had not worn off yet and grandma was not conscious yet. After Chen Zan and Xu Anan took a quick look, she was pushed into the general ward. Director Gu told them that the operation went smoothly and that although grandma was old, her physical condition was still good.

After listening to this, Chen Zan felt much relieved.

Xu Anan hugged her and said, "I told you that if grandma saw you, you would live a long life. Now you don't have to worry about it. When your mother comes back, you can go back to school. Shu Su and Tang Yue miss you. When you go back, let's go out for dinner and invite Jin Hanzhou to come with us."

Chen Zhan didn't bother to smile when he heard this, and said softly, "Okay."

Xu Jing arrived at 5:30 in the afternoon. She had flown for nearly 20 hours and rushed to the hospital with her luggage as soon as she got off the plane. She looked exhausted and it was obvious that she hadn't had a good sleep for several days.

After hearing the words "Grandma's operation went smoothly", she hugged Chen Zhan for a long time without saying anything, and finally said only two words: "Fortunately."

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Although my mother was very afraid of my grandmother, there was an unbreakable blood relationship between relatives, so she loved my grandmother very much.

Director Gu came in at this time. When Xu Jing saw him, she was obviously stunned. Then she brushed the hair by her ear and called out in a distant voice, "Director Gu, thank you."

Director Gu also became obviously reserved.

Seeing this, Chen Zan tactfully left the ward. Before leaving, she glanced at Director Gu, hoping that they would not forget their previous agreement.

Director Gu was also a man of his word and did not tell Xu Jing about the twists and turns. She gently closed the door of the ward, isolating the conversation between the two inside.

Suddenly remembering that Zhou Jingyu had not replied to the text message he sent at noon, he quickly took out his cell phone. There were no new messages or calls, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Typing explained.

[I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I only have time to reply to your message now, but next time, could you please not have someone deliver food to me? I'm afraid people might misunderstand me.]

The slender white fingertips hesitated for a moment before clicking send.

She waited anxiously for a few minutes, but did not receive a reply from Zhou Jingyu. On the one hand, she was afraid that he would be angry and feel that she was ungrateful.

On the one hand, she really didn't want to be too deeply involved with Zhou Jingyu in her private life. The next time she met An An or other people's suspicious eyes, her lies would always be exposed.

For two consecutive days, Chen Zan did not receive a reply or phone call from Zhou Jingyu. In addition, her grandmother had been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward, so she put the matter behind her.

Chen Zan took care of her grandmother in the hospital for many days. After her grandmother was transferred to the ward, Xu Jing asked her to go back to school and take care of her grandmother in the hospital.

She had just finished her tour and had a week's vacation, which happened to be when her grandmother was discharged from the hospital.

Chen Zan did not argue with her. She had indeed missed several days of classes. If she did not go back to school, she might not get the scholarship for this semester.

On the day of returning to school, the people in the dormitory specially booked a restaurant outside the school and invited Jin Hanzhou to join them. They had said before that they would treat him to a meal, but Chen Zan's recent family affairs delayed it.

Jin Hanzhou was locked up at home for three days. When he was allowed to return to school, he realized that so many things had happened in just a few days.

Whether it is the school or Wei Yunxi, including the topic that has been discussed in the circle recently, Wei Yunxi had one hand crippled by Zhou Jingyu's men, was it because he touched his woman.

But Jin Hanzhou knew that on the night Wei Yunxi was crippled, Chen Zan was called over, but he was stopped outside the club and forcibly taken away by his family.

Others may not know, but he knows clearly that the woman they are talking about Mr. Zhou is most likely Chen Zan.

So he had a lot to ask Chen Zhan, knowing that he was not qualified to go to the hospital to find her. So during this period, he also intentionally or unintentionally asked Xu Anan about the time when Chen Zhan would return to school, so when Xu Anan invited him to dinner, he immediately agreed.

When Jin Hanzhou arrived at the hotel, Chen Zan had not arrived yet. Xu Anan talked to him, and he responded absentmindedly.

Xu Anan is no longer surprised by Jin Hanzhou's cold and aloof appearance, otherwise he would not be called the school's cold and aloof hunk.

Chen Zhan came here directly after visiting her grandmother in the hospital. She put on simple makeup today to cover the shallow scar on her face. She wore a white short waist coat and tight jeans, and a pair of great Martin boots. She tucked her trouser legs into the boots, which lengthened the proportion of her lower body and made the road look long and straight.

In addition, she simply tied her hair into a low bun today, with a few strands of hair falling in front, and wore the earrings that Xu Anan gave her, making her look intellectual and beautiful.

When Jin Hanzhou pushed her door open, he could clearly hear the violent beating of his chest.

Chen Zhan's eyes met Jin Hanzhou's, and he smiled faintly and said, "Senior Jin."

Jin Hanzhou slightly turned his gaze away, clenched his hands on his knees into fists, and responded unnaturally, "Yeah."

Chen Zhan didn't notice his abnormality, Xu Anan had already rushed over, "Zhan Zhan, you look so beautiful today."

Shu Su: "Wow, Zhanzhan, it's only been a week, but it feels like a century since I last saw you."

Chen Tangyue: "Zhanzhan, you are finally back. We no longer have to endure An An's nagging every day."

Xu Anan: "Chen Tangyue, you're no longer in love, right?"

Shu Su: "Tangyue is mine. You already have Zhan Zhan. Don't snatch it from me."

A few of them returned to their seats, laughing and joking. Only Jin Hanzhou was a boy, and he seemed a little out of place. Chen Zhan said apologetically, "This is how we get along in the dormitory. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jin Hanzhou curled his lips slightly and said, "Very good."

Xu Anan was happy and asked someone to serve ginger and jujube wine, which is also the specialty of this restaurant. Ginger drives away the cold, and red dates replenish qi and blood. It is suitable for preventing colds and this kind of wine should be drunk in winter.

Jin Hanzhou didn't drink, saying that if the girls drank too much, someone would have to take them back to school. Xu Anan was a person who liked to show off, and she insisted on playing finger-guessing games with Shu Su. They drank two-thirds of a bottle of ginger and jujube wine.

Neither Chen Zhan nor Shen Tangyue could handle alcohol, so they stopped after a small glass. She was easily flushed by alcohol, and even her eyes were slightly red, watery and shimmering. She was about to leave to pay the bill, blushing. If Jin Hanzhou hadn't seen her sober and coherent, he would have thought she was drunk too.

When the cold wind blew outside, Chen Zhan was also frozen. Although Rongchuan was not as cold as the north, the weather was always damp and gray, and the wind blew and he felt cold to the bone.

The restaurant was just one street away from the school, so there was no need to take a taxi back. However, Xu Anan and Shu Su drank too much and were hard to control.

Xu Anan has a family dinner tomorrow, so the driver's car is parked at the school gate. She coaxed him into the car, and the driver said thank you with gratitude.

When getting out of the car, he stepped on a stone on the side of the road and stumbled. He was firmly supported by Jin Hanzhou, who was standing next to him, and thus avoided falling.

She whispered, "Thank you."

Chen Tangyue had already taken the drunk Shu Su back to school first, and Jin Hanzhou suggested, "Let me take you back to the dormitory. I have something to ask you."

Chen Zan could probably guess what Jin Hanzhou wanted to ask. She had been in the hospital these days and he had sent her messages, but she didn't reply much. It just so happened that she also had something to say to him.

She nodded in agreement when her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw the note about the incoming call, her eyes froze slightly.

He said to Jin Hanzhou to wait a moment and walked aside before answering the phone.

After she sent the message at the hospital that day, Zhou Jingyu never contacted her again. Tonight, he suddenly called her. When she picked up the phone, her voice trembled unconsciously, "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jingyu's voice sounded particularly cold on the other end of the phone tonight, "Chen Zan, turn back."
