Chapter 135 Rushing to the Night
After thinking for a long time, Shen Yan finally spoke, her tone slow but clear and powerful: "Please accept the gift first, don't return it."
She spoke decisively, but also with a hint of caution.
The night deepens.
That night, Zhao Xiaolan, Song Weiwei and Cao Yangfei said goodbye to each other and went back.
After completing the last round of inspections, the nurse also took a nap where Shen Yan could see him.
When the night is deep and quiet, the only sound outside the window is the sound of wind blowing leaves.
Shen Yan was half asleep and half awake when she suddenly noticed a slight movement around her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and opened her mouth to scream: "Ah——!"
But the sound stopped as soon as it was uttered.
A hand covered her mouth in time, followed by a low and gentle voice: "It's me, don't be afraid."
Shen Yan's heart was beating wildly with fear, as if her whole body was shaking. It took her a long time to recover. "You must scare me to death before you're satisfied, right?"
Hearing the question, "'we'?"
Zhu Jingchen frowned slightly, "You mean there are other people coming? Not just me?"
Shen Yan propped herself up and sat up, shaking her head, "There's no one else... No one came, I was wrong."
Looking at the familiar face in front of me, although there was anger in my heart, it was more of an indescribable emotion.
She whispered, "Why did you come back so late?"
There was a hint of blame in his tone, as well as worry that was difficult to conceal.
They had just left for Su City last night, so how did Zhu Jingchen know that she was hospitalized so quickly?
And he was able to find her ward accurately. His timing and judgment were really amazing.
Zhu Jingchen gently helped her adjust the height of the cushion to make her sitting more comfortable, and replied in a low voice: "I heard from Brother He that you were injured, so I hurried back."
Shen Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked uncertainly: "Did you... rush back overnight?"
But if that were the case, how hurried he would be!
Because He Che only arranged to send her to the hospital very late at night, it took time for the news to reach Zhu Jingchen.
In other words, in such a short period of time, Zhu Jingchen was able to complete the entire process from learning the news, deciding to turn back, to arriving in person!
What was even more surprising was that all this happened faster than she had imagined, and was completed in just three hours.
Zhu Jingchen not only knew the whole story, but also rushed over immediately. This responsiveness was beyond her expectations.
"Did you...did you call him and tell him about this?"
Shen Yan asked tentatively, hoping to clear up her doubts.
However, Zhu Jingchen shook his head, his tone calm and firm: "No. Brother He should still be in Su City now."
Hearing this, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, even wondering if she had heard it wrongly: "What? What did you say?"
According to her understanding of the itinerary, He Che left only after placing her in the hospital, and the round trip would take at least more than two hours.
Then there is only one possibility left: Zhu Jingchen decided to turn back almost immediately after receiving the news; that is to say, almost as soon as He Che stepped into Su City to meet him, he followed his men back home and rushed back to this city overnight!
What kind of itinerary would be necessary to achieve this?
Thinking of the difficulty of this trip, Shen Yan felt a complex mix of emotions, moved and a little guilty, and she didn't even know what to say.
To avoid making the atmosphere too tense, she had to find a lighthearted topic to divert attention. "By the way, Brother Wei Qing, how's your stall business today? Is your opening going well?"
Zhu Jingchen smiled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of excitement and satisfaction. "It went very smoothly. There were more people coming than I expected. I'm almost overwhelmed."
Hearing him say that he had good results, Shen Yan was sincerely happy for him: "That's great! I was a little worried just now that you and Brother Xiaochen wouldn't be able to do this kind of work that relies on talking."
"oh?"
Zhu Jingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why do you think so?"
There was a hint of curiosity and a smile in his tone.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Brother Xiaochen is better. He seems to be quite talkative. I think he might be suitable for this kind of job that requires a lot of sales."
She tilted her head and looked at him as she spoke. "But you're completely different. You're a quiet, reserved person, and you don't look like a salesperson at first glance."
Just like the forest engineer Lin Youxing who always works silently, the first impression given by both of them is that they are taciturn. If they are really asked to take the initiative to greet customers and attract business, it would probably be difficult for them.
Zhu Jingchen continued to smile, seemingly unconcerned by the comments. Instead, he patiently explained, "Actually, when I was a kid, I often went to the City God Temple to set up a stall and sell things."
Then, he paused and added, "Besides, am I really not talkative? I don't really think I'm quiet at all."
Then he continued, "I will speak out what needs to be said, and when it's not necessary, I will just listen quietly."
After a pause, he smiled again and said, "If you're talking about selling something, then go ahead and speak up. As long as it helps you achieve your goal, there's nothing wrong with talking."
After saying this, he seemed to not want to continue the topic, so he naturally changed the question: "By the way, when can you be discharged from the hospital?"
Shen Yan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then bit her lip lightly and said softly but firmly, "Tomorrow."
"Didn't the doctor say I have to stay in the hospital for at least three days before I can be discharged?"
"Tomorrow is the third day, so we can go through the formalities."
Zhu Jingchen frowned, "At least three days, how long do you usually plan to stay?"
"Seven days?"
Shen Yan was a little surprised that he guessed right, "I feel that my body is fine now, so it doesn't matter if I'm discharged early."
Zhu Jingchen asked softly: "After you are discharged from the hospital, will you continue to set up the stall every night?"
She nodded. "I have to. I need to make a lot of money."
Zhu Jingchen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he said, "Okay, I'll help you find an aunt."
"Aunt?"
Shen Yan didn't understand for a moment, and was slightly stunned. She blinked twice before she realized what he meant.
Zhu Jingchen nodded, "Yeah."
"You'll definitely need someone to take care of you until your leg fully recovers. It's too dangerous to rely on yourself in your current condition. If you fall or something happens during the night, there won't be anyone around to react in time."
"You'll be too busy setting up your stall at night and may not be able to go back to the dormitory. Your daily routine will be very chaotic, and you won't be able to take care of yourself."
"I suggest you stay at my house first."
"I will be out and about handling some matters for the next two months and will not be going back to live there."
"You live at home, and the freed-up space can be put to good use. You can also hire an aunt to take care of you when you need to get up at night, take medicine, or do other small things."
