Chapter 10 Brewing

Ironically, he even made excuses about this matter. Chen Jingyang was right; he was indeed a man of his word!

Chen Jingyang didn't know what Zhang Pengfei was thinking, but seeing his expression change from relaxed to serious, he thought he was worried about Aunt Liu, so he added, "Don't worry, it's been handled by a lawyer. All the procedures are in order, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Moreover, I asked around about his son and daughter-in-law's situation. It looks terrible, but it's not actually that serious. At most, they'll be left with a minor disability, which won't affect their normal lives. In your small county, 1 million yuan is enough for them to live on for half a lifetime. You can consider it a blessing in disguise. You don't need to feel guilty."

Zhang Pengfei looked at Chen Jingyang, his eyes shining brightly, and finally, all his unspoken words were condensed into two words: "Thank you."

Chen Jingyang stared intently at Zhang Pengfei for a long time without moving, which almost made Zhang Pengfei uncomfortable before he finally said, "That's it?"

Zhang Pengfei involuntarily shifted his body back, sensing something was amiss: "Otherwise, what... what else do you want?"

Chen Jingyang leaned forward and said, "Isn't that a bit insincere? At least give me a kiss as a reward!"

Zhang Pengfei reached out to stop Chen Jingyang from getting any closer, his face flushed and his heart pounding. He panicked and said, "Wait a minute, let me process this!"

Chen Jingyang pressed down further, grinning mischievously: "Does even a kiss require some preparation?"

Zhang Pengfei quickly covered himself with his hands, not daring to look at Chen Jingyang. His posture looked exactly like a coy little wife who was trying to resist: "You have to understand me. I'm a straight man. I've only ever kissed women before!"

Chen Jingyang chuckled and stopped teasing him: "Go take a shower. I'll give you 30 minutes. Is that enough time for you to get ready?"

"Enough, enough!" Zhang Pengfei ran into the bathroom as if fleeing.

After taking a shower, Chen Jingyang was on the phone. He was lounging lazily against the headboard. When he saw Zhang Pengfei come out, his speech quickened, and he hung up after a few sentences.

"Come here!" Chen Jingyang patted the bed.

Zhang Pengfei was a little uneasy and reluctantly moved little by little to Chen Jingyang's side.

The hotel shampoo and shower gel smelled wonderful, refreshing with a hint of sweetness. As the two of them got closer, the fragrance seemed to find an ally and suddenly became stronger.

Chen Jingyang reached out and pulled Zhang Pengfei close, offering his face: "Here, give me a kiss!"

Chen Jingyang's lips are beautiful, pink and moist, with a prominent cupid's bow, giving them an unexpected sexiness.

Zhang Pengfei suddenly felt thirsty and swallowed hard: "I... I want to drink some water."

"Kiss first, then drink!"

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it!

Zhang Pengfei closed his eyes, imagining Chen Jingyang as the busty beauty next to his bedside, and slowly leaned down, soon touching a soft spot.

He didn't know where they kissed, but that was it. He immediately looked up, trying to pull away, but Chen Jingyang grabbed him first and pressed him down hard.

Zhang Pengfei had kissed Qin Xiaofang before; the feeling back then was somewhat like a gentle spring breeze and tender willow branches.

But Chen Jingyang was completely different!

Chen Jingyang smiled, his chest rising and falling with a slightly ticklish vibration, and ran his hand through Zhang Pengfei's soft hair a few times: "How is it?"

Zhang Pengfei raised his hand and slapped Chen Jingyang: "Not good at all!"

Chen Jingyang grabbed his hand and chuckled, "Nonsense!"

"open!"

"No way!" Chen Jingyang flipped over and held Zhang Pengfei tightly in his arms. "You won't let me touch you, fine, but you can't even hug me? Did I pay for a holographic projection?"

Zhang Pengfei: ...

Fine, let him hug her then. At least Chen Jingyang's money shouldn't be wasted.

Chen Jingyang's money was well spent. A dozen days later, the hospital told Zhang Pengfei that his mother, Dou Qiaoyun, had woken up!

After 34 days, three major surgeries, and more than 1.2 million yuan in medical expenses, Dou Qiaoyun has finally returned from the brink of death!

But just because someone is awake doesn't mean they can immediately be lively and energetic again.

The attending physician told Zhang Pengfei that the recovery process could be quite lengthy, taking anywhere from a year and a half to several years, or even a lifetime.

He suggested that Zhang Pengfei continue treatment at the hospital's rehabilitation center after the patient's condition stabilized. Although the cost would be higher, it would be well worth it if the patient could fully recover, since the quality of life is far more important than simply being alive.

Zhang Pengfei was naturally willing to follow the doctor's orders, and a little over a month later, Dou Qiaoyun was transferred to the rehabilitation center.

At that time, the school was on summer vacation. At Chen Jingyang's request and in order to make it easier to visit his mother, Zhang Pengfei did not apply for on-campus accommodation and lived with Chen Jingyang in a community not far from the rehabilitation center.

The house was rented by Chen Jingyang. It had two bedrooms and a living room, with one bedroom and the other a study.

Originally, there were beds in both rooms, but after Chen Jingyang chose one of them as his bedroom, he threw away the bed in the other room. Zhang Pengfei knew that Chen Jingyang did this to prevent him from sleeping in a separate bed.

Over the past month, Zhang Pengfei has fully experienced the differences between people and is completely baffled as to how Chen Jingyang grew up!

But no matter what, this summer vacation will definitely be the most relaxing summer vacation Zhang Pengfei has had since starting university.

He didn't need to work, or even worry about what to eat for three meals a day, because Chen Jingyang really took care of him like a dog, making sure everything was perfect for him. Finally, when he was really bored, Chen Jingyang took pity on him and let him take a driving test.

At the time, neither of them expected that something as trivial as getting a driver's license would lead to a catastrophic car accident!
