Chapter 125 Beat Yan Yu black and blue, let him experience what it's like to be hospitalized.
The dream was so real, and the words were so loud, piercing, and unforgettable, causing excruciating pain that made Yan Yu feel disoriented, enveloped in a heavy anguish.
"No...no..."
The pain in his chest felt like it was draining all his strength. His weak, pleading voice came from his dry lips, sounding so pitiful.
Tears streamed down his face as he lowered himself, pleading humbly, "I was wrong...please don't..."
Unfortunately, all of this was meaningless. The person remained in front of him, unmoved, before gradually moving away and disappearing from sight.
Yan Yu tried to chase after him in fear, but stumbling and falling, he couldn't catch up before the person had already gone far away, to a place he could no longer reach.
"don't want!!!"
Yan Yu let out a heart-wrenching roar, then sat up abruptly from the bed in despair and collapse. His eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, covered in sweat, his chest heaving, and his whole body was trembling.
"No..." He looked around frantically, still unable to wake up from the nightmare. He couldn't tell where he was and just wanted to find the person who had disappeared before his eyes.
The surroundings were pure white, and there was a medicinal smell that wasn't very pleasant, but it confirmed one thing: he was in a hospital.
Yan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and then realized that, in addition to the sweat, tears were streaming from his eyes, covering his entire face and making him look both tragic and ridiculous.
"Hahahaha..." He suddenly seemed to have gone mad, not even wiping away his tears, letting himself look so pathetic, he hugged his head and buried his face in his knees, laughing self-deprecatingly.
Only then did a sentence vaguely surface in his mind: He really deserved it...
Who can we blame for things turning out this way?
After Yan Yu's emotional outburst subsided, he picked up a tissue and hastily wiped away the cowardly tears on his face. With red eyes, he looked around and knew he was in the hospital.
It must have been after he fainted yesterday that Xie Li brought him to the hospital.
Yan Yu looked up at the time; it was morning. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. The dream in his mind kept haunting him, making him afraid.
He didn't know how Shen Jin was doing, or if he had woken up yet. He immediately threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed when the door was gently pushed open. Xie Li was standing outside the door looking at him, and was stunned for a moment: "You're awake?"
“…Hmm.” Yan Yu’s voice was hoarse as he gave a simple reply, but he still didn’t stop trying to get out of bed.
Even though he had been chased out by Rong's father with a broom, his desire to see Shen Jin immediately remained unchanged. He wanted to know how Shen Jin was doing, whether he was alright, and when his body would recover...
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute! What are you doing?" Xie Li quickly ran from outside the door to his bedside, trying to stop him. "Are you going to get out of bed to go find Chen Jin? He hasn't woken up yet, it won't do you any good!"
Xie Li felt he couldn't bear to watch his foolish behavior anymore; he had absolutely no CEO demeanor whatsoever. However, considering their friendship of over ten years, he continued, "And have you forgotten that you just fainted last night? The doctor said it was because you've been too stressed and exhausted lately, and haven't had enough rest! You..."
Before he could finish half of his rambling speech, Yan Yu raised his hand to interrupt him: "I'm fine..."
After simply saying those three words, Yan Yu rubbed his temples. He didn't know if it was because he had just woken up, but he felt a terrible headache.
While Xie Li was slightly stunned, Yan Yu directly threw off the blanket, put his legs on the floor, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Shen Jin is currently lying in a cold operating room because of a car accident. What does my little thing matter..."
However, despite his nice words, he tried to stand up, but before he could take a few steps, his legs seemed to give way, and he staggered forward and fell.
"Ah Yu!" Xie Li was startled. The cabinet was right in the direction he fell. If he had fallen down like that, he would have definitely hit his head and bled.
Xie Li reacted quickly and pulled him back, preventing him from falling and crashing into the cabinet. He almost lost his balance and fell to one side because of Xie Li, so Xie Li could only push the big man Yan Yu back onto the hospital bed.
After barely managing to stand, Xie Li let out a soft breath, looked at Yan Yu's pale face, and said irritably, "Look at you now, you can barely walk, you almost fell down, and you still want to see Chen Jin like this?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that this person had lost his mind. Looking at his half-dead state, Xie Li even wanted to raise his hand and punch him.
...Thinking back, when Yan Yu learned that he had done too many things to hurt Shen Jin and deceived him, Yan Yu showed no mercy and beat him up in every way imaginable, being as cruel as could be.
"Wait..." Xie Li bit his tongue, snapping out of his reverie of the scene where Yan Yu had brutally beaten him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he narrowed them, thinking, "Why don't I take this opportunity to get revenge... find some people to ambush Yan Yu, beat him black and blue, and let him experience what it's like to be hospitalized?"
The idea was born in Xie Li's mind, making him waver slightly... He really wanted to do it.
After all, that's the kind of person he is. Even if there's some affection between him and those who have hurt him, he still wants to get back at them... As long as the other person doesn't know that he did it, he can still treat them the way he does now, as if nothing ever happened.
However, Xie Li quickly suppressed this thought. After all, when he needed surgery after the plane crash, Yan Yu was able to hold Shen Jin's head down and give him a blood transfusion, which could be considered as saving his life.
"I'll keep an eye on things with Chen Jin for you. I'll let you know if anything happens. For now, you should rest for a while and take good care of yourself." Xie Li picked up the food he had packed from the table next to him and placed it in front of him. "Eat something first, it'll give you more energy."
“The Rong family is still angry, and you’ll only be asking for trouble if you go to them now,” Xie Li said against his will. “You’d better calm down and think about what to do next.”
Yan Yu sat stiffly on the bed like a wooden doll, his head slightly lowered, his eyes drooping listlessly. He knew that Xie Li's words made sense, and that his impulsive decision to go there again would only bring him trouble.
But at this moment... how could he possibly remain calm?
Yan Yu took a deep breath, rubbed his face, lifted his eyelids to look at Xie Li, hesitated for a moment, and asked weakly, "...Don't you hate me?"
Xie Li: "..."
Xie Li knew he was not a kind person, nor was he that tolerant and magnanimous. So, to Yan Yu's question, he could answer without hesitation: He hated him. He even once wished he could cut him into a thousand pieces, dismember him, and throw him into the sea from all directions, but then he felt it would pollute the environment.
At the time, it was just a momentary impulse of hatred, which later turned into anger and resentment. Many complex emotions lingered in my heart, but as time went by, they faded a little.
No matter what, they could never go back to the beginning, whether it was Yan Yu's feelings for him or his feelings for Yan Yu.
"...Back then," Xie Li pursed his lips, lowered his eyes in a mocking manner, and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I know it was all my fault. I was jealous of Chen Jin because I felt he had taken you away from me, and I was resentful, which is why I did those outrageous things so many times. Later, I figured it out..."
All he needs to do now is play the role of someone who already knows he's wrong, try to make himself seem pitiful, move Yan Yu, and then interfere between him and Shen Jin.
What he cannot have, he will absolutely not let anyone else have, especially since that person is Shen Jin... He is practically becoming a thorn in Xie Li's heart, and the longer time goes on, the harder it is to remove.
Xie Li suppressed her emotions and forced a smile at Yan Yu: "You should get some rest first... I won't bother you any longer."
After he finished speaking, he left Yan Yu's ward temporarily, leaving Yan Yu alone in the empty room, staring blankly into space, his gaze unfocused, his mind wandering.
The food Xie Li had packed for him emitted a faint, enticing aroma, but Yan Yu had no appetite whatsoever. Even so, he glanced over at the familiar scent and paused slightly in surprise.
That was something his mother used to make for him when he was a child, something he loved to eat... Now, more than ten years have passed, and he never expected that Xie Li would still remember it.
For a moment, Yan Yu's feelings were mixed, and he felt a tightness in his chest.
At this moment, Xie Li was outside the ward, quietly observing him inside. When he saw him staring blankly at the food she had packed for him, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.
"What is Chen Jin anyway?" Xie Li thought smugly. "Why should he be able to take away what rightfully belongs to me? Even if I don't want it anymore, it's not his place!"
Xie Li left Yan Yu's ward with satisfaction and quietly walked towards Chen Jin's ward, intending to find out what was going on there and at least get some information.
However, Shen Jin was indeed not moving at all and showed no signs of waking up. Judging from the severity of the situation, it was unknown how long he would have to lie there.
"Hmm?" Xie Li narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing a familiar yet unfamiliar person. "Luo Zheng?"
Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind: back in City A, when he sent people to ambush Shen Jin and chase after him, a man protected him and took him away. The useless people he sent back then only managed to capture a blurry outline.
But as soon as they met, Xie Li immediately recognized that it was Luo Zheng who had helped Shen Jin escape in City A!
"Damn it!" Xie Li's eyes were red with anger. He gritted his teeth silently and said angrily and hatefully, "They always say that beautiful women bring trouble, but I never thought that Shen Jin, this rotten male beauty, could also bring trouble!"
He just couldn't understand it. Had Shen Jin drugged these people, or were they all blind? Otherwise, why would they be interested in someone like Shen Jin?
"Wait a minute..." Xie Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his expression relaxed slightly, and he smiled, saying to himself, "Shen Jin took mine before... why can't I take his now?"
