The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.
A few birds flew by in twos and threes on the branches outside the window, their chirping and the intermittent chirping of cicadas drifting in.
Liu Nian, who was leaning against the hospital bed, stared intently at the man peeling an apple.
I can't believe it, she actually won over this man just half a month ago.
"Brother, your hands aren't suited for peeling apples."
Feng Guiyu looked up at her, a smile playing on his lips: "Then what would it be suitable for?"
"Perfect for holding my hand." He then let out a silly laugh.
Feng Guiyu handed her the freshly peeled apple: "You're so eloquent! Where did you learn that?"
Liu Nian said shyly, "You unconsciously appear in my mind when I look at you."
Feng Guiyu lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze deep and unreadable.
Liu Nian didn't understand or dwell on it: "When can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"You can be discharged from the hospital once your injury is completely healed." He said, gently stroking her hair.
Before he started dating, Feng Guiyu had nothing to do but work. He seemed unapproachable and gave off a cold and aloof vibe.
After falling in love, Feng Guiyu's behavior changed dramatically. He no longer focused solely on work and even became unusually gentle with Liu Nian, something he had never done before.
During the two weeks Liu Nian was hospitalized, he would come to visit her after get off work every day, and he would bring any unresolved cases back to the hospital to handle.
Now that he's been promoted to First-Class Police Superintendent, he must be even busier, but he still made time to come and be with her despite his busy schedule.
To be honest, Feng Guiyu is just too good. Liu Nian felt that labeling him as a scumbag before was an insult to him.
"The doctor said my injury is nothing serious."
On the day of the car accident, her hand was broken due to the impact of the car, her thigh was also broken, and her knee was comminuted.
If it weren't for the system as a cheat code, she wouldn't just have fainted from the pain! She would have died from the pain.
Fortunately, with the system around, her injuries were nothing.
"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Wait until you're fully healed before you leave the hospital, okay?" Feng Guiyu gently stroked Liu Nian's hair.
From an angle unseen by the passage of time, his gaze upon her was filled with deep affection and longing.
"By the way, I still don't know if the person who hit me has been brought to justice."
Since waking up, apart from being in a daze due to the pain at first, she was so happy after the system reported that the strategy was successful that she forgot to ask about it.
"Yes, the death penalty." He didn't explain further: "I got rid of your job, you won't blame me, right?"
Liu Nian: "..." Isn't this tantamount to acting first and informing later? What could she say?
However, if she resigns, she will definitely have to pay Pei Qing a hefty penalty for breach of contract.
"Teacher Pei didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" she said cautiously.
Feng Guiyu chuckled: "No." As he spoke, he handed Liu Nian a tablet computer: "Watch some dramas if you're bored. I have some things to take care of at the bureau. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll bring it to you after get off work."
Liu Nian took the tablet, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm fine with anything." She wasn't picky about food, and given her current condition, she probably couldn't eat anything with strong flavors anyway.
"Okay." Feng Guiyu said, bending down to kiss her forehead: "Wait for me to come back."
After Feng Guiyu left, life became boring.
During her hospitalization, Feng Guiyu didn't tell her because he was worried about Feng's mother. Feng Guitu was also busy with company matters and could only come to see her after get off work in the evenings.
She had no friends all those years, and indeed, no one came to visit her.
Feng Guiyu intentionally instructed Feng Guitu to keep the news of Liu Nian's car accident a secret, so that almost no one knew about it except for those who witnessed the scene.
However, no matter how well the news is sealed, leaks are inevitable.
Just as Liu Nian was idly scrolling through online dramas, there was a knock on the hospital room door.
Thinking it was the doctor coming to check on her, Liu Nian didn't even look up: "Please come in."
The VIP ward she stayed in was spacious, the disinfectant smell wasn't strong, and even the flowers that Guiyu had bought by the window emitted a faint fragrance.
The ward door was pushed open, and the person who came in didn't say anything, just stood quietly at the door.
Liu Nian looked up curiously and was somewhat surprised when she saw who it was.
"Teacher Pei!"
Pei Qing was carrying a fruit basket. He only walked over when he saw Liu Nian notice him.
A cool, detached voice asked, "Are you alright?"
Liu Nian smiled and said, "Not bad!"
Pei Qing nodded, not saying much, and after putting the fruit basket away, he carefully looked at the current state of Liu Nian.
His forehead was wrapped in cloth, his arm was in a sling, and his leg was in a cast.
That's pretty tragic.
"I only found out you were hospitalized from someone else while we were filming. I'm so sorry it's only now that I'm coming to see you."
To be honest, Liu Nian didn't think her relationship with Pei Qing was good enough for him to visit her when she was hospitalized.
Not to mention that she is no longer his assistant, Pei Qing is even less likely to come to see her, since the two of them don't have much of a relationship!
However, since they came to see her out of kindness, Liu Nian naturally didn't say anything.
"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Pei. Please have a seat."
Pei Qing sat by the hospital bed, her cool eyes looking at Liu Nian: "May I ask, what is your relationship with Feng Guiyu?"
Liu Nian narrowed her eyes and secretly sized up Pei Qing. Pei Qing was indeed a movie star; Liu Nian couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all.
The system said he was just a passerby in the original book, but Liu Nian felt that wasn't the case. Pei Qing seemed quite active! At least he had connections with the main characters.
"Why is Teacher Pei suddenly interested in my personal affairs?"
