Chapter 117: The First Gift for Pei Xingzhi
"Tsk, why do you only want me to do some work of finding things?" Shen Yanhui asked in confusion.
Qin Song raised his eyebrows and answered honestly: "Although it is a bit embarrassing, I have to admit that I am indeed not as good as you in some aspects. For example, power, money, and connections."
"Ah?" Shen Yanhui was amused by her words.
Qin Song took a sip of the juice that the waiter had just brought, lowered his eyes and looked at his hands and said, "Just like you said, I am a fake daughter who was kicked out of the Qin family. It's okay that my reputation is in tatters, but the key is that I have no money, no power, and no connections. I don't even know how to check anything I want to find out."
"But you are different. You are the daughter of the Shen Group. You have money and connections. What is as difficult as ascending to heaven for me is a piece of cake for you."
"Although I am a person who cares about face most of the time, I am also a little self-aware sometimes. I know clearly that I can't rely on myself in these matters, so I want to use you. Even if our relationship is not good, at least it is not so bad that we will never have any contact with each other again."
"So you are sure that I will agree to your deal?" Shen Yanhui took over Qin Song's words.
Qin Song nodded: "You can say that."
"Humph," Shen Yanhui picked up the mug in front of him and drank the remaining coffee in it in one gulp, "You are quite calculating."
Qin Song curled his lips and smiled: "Calculation and ambition have never been derogatory words. People are selfish. If a person can't even calculate, then he is too stupid."
"Well said." Shen Yanhui put down the cup and praised Qin Song from the bottom of his heart for the first time, "Qin Song, if we were not on opposite sides, I would really like to make friends with someone like you."
Qin Song picked up his bag and stood up while saying, "I charge protection money for making friends. Pay it if you can afford it."
"...Huh?" Shen Yanhui knew that she was joking, but he still didn't understand the abstract meaning of her joke.
"Let's go." The deal had been made, and she had nothing more to say to Shen Yanhui. After saying these two light words, she turned around and left with her bag.
And this time, Shen Yan didn't yell at her back in frustration as usual.
She waved to the waiter and ordered a glass of juice like Qin Song's.
The juices in this cafe are all freshly squeezed. When the waiter placed a full cup of juice with a sweet fragrance in front of her, she saw the plump fruit grains in the transparent glass floating up and down with the shaking of the juice.
"It looks good." She said to the juice in the glass, "It's a pity that I don't like drinking juice. I didn't like it before, and I still don't like it now."
Just like her and Qin Song, although she did admire Qin Song's character, because of their different positions, she would never truly reconcile with Qin Song.
…
Everything went smoothly today, and Qin Song came back early as Pei Xingzhi wished.
When she returned to the ward, Pei Xingzhi was changing the dressing. The doctor removed all the gauze of varying sizes from his body, cleaned the blood and pus from his wounds with tweezers and sterilized cotton swabs, then applied new medicine on the wounds and re-bandaged him with clean gauze.
The process was slow and painful, but Pei Xingzhi remained silent throughout. If he hadn't seen that his brows were tightly knitted and a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead due to the pain, Qin Song would have almost thought that he had a problem with his pain perception.
"Okay." After the doctor bandaged the last wound, he threw the tweezers and dirty cotton swabs into the iron tray in the nurse's hand.
"Due to the weather, Mr. Pei has several wounds that are showing signs of festering. Family members must be extremely careful when wiping his body. Do not let his wounds come into contact with water, understand?"
Mother Pei nodded repeatedly: "I understand. Thank you, doctor."
The doctor waved his hand and turned to walk to the door: "Have a good rest. If you need anything, press the call bell at the bedside."
Mother Pei: “Hey.”
Then he turned to look at Qin Song and said with a smile: "Since Xiao Song is back, I can go home and heat up the meal without any worries."
Qin Song: "Go ahead, mom. I'm here."
"Okay." Mother Pei picked up the bag on the sofa and left the ward briskly.
“Hiss… it hurts.”
As soon as Pei's mother left, Pei Xingzhi covered the wound on his chest, frowned and cried out in pain.
Qin Song quickly walked over to him and asked anxiously, "Where does it hurt? Let me blow it for you."
Pei Xingzhi shook his head: "I can't blow it. I can't feel it through the thick gauze."
Qin Song was at a loss: "What should I do? How can I help you relieve some of the pain?"
“……” Pei Xingzhi didn’t say anything, just closed his eyes and raised his chin slightly.
The purpose was obvious, he wanted to kiss again.
"..." Qin Song stretched out his hand and pinched his mouth, "Let me show you something, I guarantee it will be more useful than kissing."
Pei Xingzhi opened his eyes and looked a little aggrieved: "What is that?"
Qin Song: "Wait for me."
She turned and walked to the storage table, and took out a palm-sized, square box from the shoulder bag she was carrying.
The box is completely black, with only a simple trademark pattern painted on the top.
Pei Xingzhi opened his eyes wide with curiosity: "What is this?"
Qin Song sat down beside the bed and slowly opened the box under his nervous and expectant gaze.
"...watch?" Pei Xingzhi was surprised.
Qin Song handed the watch to him, and suddenly felt a little shy: "Watch, the watch I bought for you. Although it's not very expensive, it is also the first thing I officially gave you."
Qin Song spent more than a week selecting this watch before buying it. The price was not expensive, only less than ten thousand.
The overall design style of the watch is rather deep, which matches Pei Xing's introverted and steady temperament very well. The dark metal strap is slightly wide, but it just supports Pei Xingzhi's thin and well-shaped wrist bones. The dial made of meteorite is unique and attractive. The entire dial can emit a unique fine sparkle in the sunlight without being inlaid with diamonds.
Although the black and white combination is somewhat ordinary, it is somewhat special because of its exquisite workmanship and special materials.
"..." Pei Xingzhi looked at Qin Song for a long while before he reached out and carefully took the watch. The watch was not heavy, but Pei Xingzhi's hands were shaking for some unknown reason.
"You...is this the watch you gave me?" he asked uncertainly.
Qin Song nodded: "I gave it to you. I bought it with my own salary. How about it? Do you like it?"
Pei Xingzhi's voice trembled slightly: "I like it. I like it very much. But why did you choose to give me a watch instead of something else?"
