Chapter 103 Knowing When to Speak

Xiao Chen seemed stumped by the question, which only fueled Lu Jiunian's suspicions.

"What are you all doing here?"

Lu Jiunian was clearly displeased, and he walked over to Shi Nianzhi.

Shi Nianzhi reached out and pinched Su Hengyi's arm, giving it a tug.

Su Heng reached out and pushed Director Huang out.

Director Huang blocked Lu Jiunian's path, "I've brought two students up to give Young Master Gu a heart check-up."

Director Huang is from the Department of Cardiac Surgery. Since Su Hengyi came to him, this was the only thing he could say.

If the conversation goes too far off track, it's easier to arouse suspicion.

Lu Jiunian frowned. "Did you do it?"

"It's already been done; Young Master Gu's heart is fine."

Director Huang's voice was laced with a forced smile.

The experts were already gathered around Gu Zijian's bedside for examination and consultation. Lu Jiunian didn't have time to deal with this, so he quickly went over to Gu Zijian.

Xiao Chen, like a fish out of water finally getting water, pushed Shi Nianzhi and the others, "Hurry up and go."

Don't cause any more trouble; that person is truly someone you can't afford to mess with.

Shi Nianzhi followed behind Su Hengyi. When he was about to walk out, he turned back and looked at Lu Jiunian.

The man looked at the person on the hospital bed with concern in his eyes, his voice more serious and caring than ever before, "How can we make his condition better?"

"Get out of here! What are you looking at!"

Xiao Chen pushed Shi Nianzhi out.

The door was closed.

Shi Nianzhi realized that he had fallen far behind Su Hengyi. He cheered himself up and quickly caught up with Su Hengyi.

He took off his mask and said to Su Hengyi, "Brother Yi, I almost caused you trouble again."

"It's nothing."

"Thank you for today."

“I didn’t let you see him.”

"Perhaps it's better not to see each other."

Shi Nianzhi took off her sterile gown, lowered her eyes, and said something very calmly.

I left the hospital.

Shi Nianzhi stopped in his tracks and took out his phone to call Lu Jiunian.

I didn't answer the first time, but I answered the second time.

Shi Nianzhi asked in a soft, somewhat obedient voice, "What are you doing?"

"I'm busy, don't wait for me for dinner today."

The man hung up the phone with a gentle remark, as if he didn't want to say anything more, as if he was really too busy to talk.

So, how many times did he say he was too busy to wait for dinner when he was actually at this private hospital?

Shi Nianzhi slowly and weakly lowered the hand that was holding the phone.

"Brother Yi, what he said is actually very true. If he wanted to keep his affairs from me, there's no way I could have known."

Su Hengyi, however, was very rational: "If there are no feelings involved, he doesn't need to coax you."

Shi Nianzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. "So he still likes me?"

"uncertain."

Su Heng always seemed too detached when it came to other people's relationships.

He told Shi Nianzhi, "If you have feelings for someone or are afraid of ending up with nothing, Gu Zijian might not wake up."

"Does he actually love me?"

Do you think he loves you?

Shi Nianzhi thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know."

As if he had seen through something, Su Hengyi stopped and reached out to touch Shi Nianzhi's soft hair.

"There is a kind of gamble that is destined to lose from the very beginning, but gamblers will still keep going."

"Why gamble when you're going to lose?"

Su Hengyi remained calm, "The process itself may be without regrets."

Shi Nianzhi nodded as if he understood, but in reality he was completely confused, just like when he was in class.

"Loving someone who doesn't love you is a gamble you're destined to lose."

Su Hengyi gave Shi Nianzhi a brief explanation.

"Brother, will you lose?"

"Me? How could I lose?"

Shi Nianzhi looked a little dejected. "Yeah, your relationship with the boss has progressed. How could you lose? I'm the only one who lost."

"Mu Guangcheng doesn't love me."

"Huh? But you said that falling in love with someone who doesn't love you is a gamble you're bound to lose."

"yes."

"Then why did you say you wouldn't lose?"

Su Heng kept looking at Shi Nianzhi, serious and certain, "He won't stop loving me forever."

He looks so handsome when he's so serious.

Shi Nianzhi: "..."

The number one guy's inexplicable self-confidence.

Shi Nianzhi's mind raced for a moment, and he immediately said, "Brother Yi, I want to learn from you. Gu Zijian won't wake up. Am I, a living person, not able to compete with a person in a vegetative state?"

When she got to the exciting part, Shi Nianzhi opened her arms wide, gesturing a considerable distance.

"A lifetime is so long, so very long, I'll eventually wait until he loves me."

"not necessarily."

"I can try, I can do it!"

Shi Nianzhi clenched his fist, and then, without waiting for Su Hengyi to say anything, as if afraid of being contradicted, he got into the car.

Looking at Shi Nianzhi's retreating figure, Su Hengyi sensed a sense of panic and desperation.

In reality, the word "relationship" is nothing more than mutual consent.

Some feelings are irreversible; no amount of persuasion can change them. When one person doesn't want to leave another, they'll always find various reasons.

Lu Jiunian returned very late again, and when he came back, Shi Nianzhi was still awake.

The light was on in his study.

Lu Jiunian leaned against the doorway. "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Shi Nianzhi turned to look at Lu Jiunian, who spoke as if nothing had happened, "Yes, the monthly exam is on Monday, and I want to study harder."

The man walked over and put away the review materials he was looking at.

"With a brain like yours, you'll never learn anything no matter how late you stay up. Go to sleep."

The tone was commanding, brooking no argument.

Shi Nianzhi put down her pen. "Am I really that bad?"

The man met his gaze; in the large, quiet study, no one spoke for a moment.

Shi Nianzhi was somewhat dejected. "I understand."

He stood up, threw himself into Lu Jiunian's arms, and wrapped his arms around his waist. "You're smart and I'm clumsy. We complement each other. You and I are a perfect match."

Lu Jiunian: "..."

Shi Nianzhi hugged Lu Jiunian's neck, he pouted and said, "If you find someone particularly smart, they definitely won't be as easy to control as me. They might even cheat on you without you even knowing."

He seemed to be implying something.

Lu Jiunian reached out and patted Shi Nianzhi's head. "You're smart and know your place. You won't be as ungrateful as me. Haven't you made me angry enough?"

What is tact and discretion?

"You're so clueless."

When Shi Nianzhi heard Lu Jiunian say this, his eyes lit up. He stood on tiptoe, leaned over, and bit Lu Jiunian's lower lip, mumbling, "Isn't that being particularly sensible?"

Lu Jiunian slapped Shi Nianzhi hard, "You've gotten too bold lately! I think you need to be taught a lesson."

He picked the person up and carried them towards the bedroom.

While Shi Nianzhi was being pinned to the bed, Lu Jiunian's phone rang repeatedly.

Lu Jiunian brought home his personal cell phone, which is not usually the case at night unless something urgent happens.

The man's interest waned for a moment. "Go ahead and speak."

"Third Master, something terrible has happened! Young Master Gu is in critical condition! You must come over right away!"
