Zhu Jin lowered his gaze and saw Shi Shangbai sleeping on the hospital bed.

Half of his face was in the shadow of the light and the other half was buried in his arms. In fact, it was impossible to see clearly, but Zhu Jin knew at first glance that it was Shi Shangbai.

No, it should be said that even if she didn't open her eyes, as long as she knew there was someone sleeping next to the bed, she would know it was Ishigami Kashiwa.

In this world, over the years, she has had a father, two apprentices, Basil and Perilla, many friends such as Poria, hundreds of students, and Shi Wei, her pseudo-son. They all have a good relationship with her, and they are all very nice to each other. But now, the only one who will stay by her bedside all night is Shi Shangbai.

He didn't need anyone to take over the shift, he would guard it alone from beginning to end, all the time, just like he had always done.

In the eyes of the world, he is a successful politician. His position becomes higher and higher day by day, and his ability becomes greater and greater day by day. Whoever faces him will praise him for his intelligence and success.

But in her world, he has always been a fool, always a fool.

Zhu Jin thought, maybe because he was too stupid, she would always think of him in that endless dream. She was so worried about him. Among all the people she knew in this life, he was the one she was most worried about.

Zhu Jin wanted to raise her hand, but it was in vain. She wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound. She could only stare at Shi Shangbai with her eyes open.

She didn't know how long she watched, and finally fell into sleep again.

When she woke up and opened her eyes, it was already daybreak. Ishigami Bai was looking at her beside the bed.

Shi Shangbai saw Zhu Jin move his eyelids, then opened his eyes. Shi Shangbai stood up suddenly, opened his mouth to shout something but suddenly closed it and sat down dejectedly. "I'm hallucinating again." He smiled bitterly. He had a hallucination every morning.

He called a doctor several times, and every time he called back, Zhu Jin had his eyes closed.

Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin who had already opened his eyes, tucked in the quilt that he had tucked in hundreds of times and no longer needed to be tucked in, looked at the infusion medicine, went into the bathroom, wrung out a warm towel and came out.

“…Why are your eyes still open?” Seeing Zhu Jin’s eyes still open, Shi Shangbai shook his head and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Zhu Jin’s eyes were still open, just looking at him quietly, with the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a familiar smile.

"Plop." A clean, warm towel fell to the ground, and Shi Shangbai walked straight to Zhu Jin.

"Shi Shangbai..." Zhu Jin opened his mouth and called his name silently, then raised his hand with the slightly recovered strength and stretched it towards him.

Shi Shangbai's legs went limp and he knelt down, carefully holding Zhu Jin's hand, "Zhu Jin, you're finally awake."

Ishigami Bai pulled her hand and placed it against his forehead, then closed his eyes. He was afraid that he could no longer control his hot eyes.

"I'll call Basil and the doctor." Ishigami Bai raised his head and said to Zhu Jin who was looking at him quietly. Zhu Jin nodded, but her hands moved. After Ishigami Bai let her go, she raised her hand and touched Ishigami Bai's chin.

The green stubble felt slightly prickly and itchy. Zhu Jin opened his mouth again and silently said two words, "Beard."

She didn't know if it was because of the beard, but when she opened her eyes again, she found that Ishigami Bai had actually aged, several years older, and showed signs of aging.

"Does it prickly?" Ishigami Bai pulled her hand and kissed the palm of her hand unconsciously.

Zhu Jin blinked, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the prickly stubble pricked her palms. Along with the kiss, it brought an indescribable throbbing, from the palms to the limbs to the heart.

It swept over her whole body.

She softened her heart. In fact, her heart had always been hard, but when facing Ishigami Kashiwa, who suddenly aged a few years beside her bed, her heart softened.

Her heart beat faster only for Chonglou, but the one she couldn't let go of now was Shi Shangbai.

This man is obviously the smartest but also the dumbest.

The silence was soon interrupted. Basil and the doctors all rushed in and surrounded Zhu Jin. Ishigami Bai made way and stood at the outermost edge.

The virus of the acute cold was aggressive and fast-acting. Zhu Jin experienced a high fever that quickly developed and was in a coma for several days. Even after drinking water, he could not make a sound. Fortunately, Zhu Jin's strength gradually recovered and he was able to express his feelings through typing.

"There is no pain, just exhaustion. I think I fell into a coma because of my poor physical condition and my body is not used to the medication this time." Zhu Jin woke up. Although she was a patient, Luo Le and other hospitals had already explained her symptoms and treatment process to her.

Zhu Jin listened and thought about it, then typed out the following words.

The doctor who performed the surgery on Zhu Jin didn't understand. "The medicine you used for this treatment didn't have any serious side effects. How could you say that your body can't adapt to the medicine?" No special medicine was used either.

"I have been in good health since I was a child and have never had any serious illness. The minor illnesses I have had in recent years were all treated with medicines I prescribed myself. The medicinal properties were not strong, so my body cannot adapt to this time's medication." Zhu Jin explained bit by bit.

Zhu Jin was very sure that because she was very careful in her daily life, she had not been sick for a long time. People who have not been sick for a long time will be more aggressive when they get sick.

People who are prone to illness and have minor illnesses frequently actually rarely get serious illnesses.

Doctors such as Basil who came to check on Zhu Jin's physical condition were instead explained by Zhu Jin, but no one thought anything was wrong until they left the ward.

Because Zhu Jin fell ill suddenly and had not recovered yet, all the big-name celebrities who were anxiously waiting for her to see a doctor used their connections to ask the great doctors they knew to help Zhu Jin, but they didn't expect Zhu Jin to wake up on her own.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of these people to visit. Not to mention the people from all walks of life on Shuilan Star, all those who came to Shuilan Star for medical treatment and recuperation, etc., all came to visit Zhu Jin after hearing the news that Zhu Jin had woken up.

Zhu Jin's illness and recovery were all headlines, and the people who came to visit him were unlikely to be ignored. Soon, reporters from various sections of political, financial, sports, and entertainment news gathered at the Ocean Hospital, guarding the people who came to visit Zhu Jin.

However, no matter who came, Zhu Jin would not see him. Although Zhu Jin had woken up, his physical condition had not recovered. He could not speak or move, and was not suitable to receive any visitors. Therefore, most of the visitors were turned away at the entrance of the ward floor.

But even so, people came and talked endlessly.

Of course, Zhu Jin didn’t know all this, and she didn’t have the energy to pay attention to it. She woke up and saw Luo Le and other doctors. After they left, she silently comforted Ye Banxia. Then she felt tired again and soon fell asleep.

She slept for a whole day and woke up at dusk. Shi Shangbai, Selaginella, Poria, Basil, Perilla, and Pinellia were all in the ward. Everyone looked haggard to varying degrees, but she found that only Shi Shangbai had grown old.

Maybe it was because he was the oldest, even after shaving his beard, he still couldn't look younger.

Zhu Jin looked at Shi Shangbai for a long time and with concern, with an emotion in his eyes that he didn't have when looking at others. Shi Wei, who had been nervous for a few days and finally relaxed and had his "emotional sense" opened, rolled his eyes and was about to say something when Basil spoke first.

"Let's go out first and don't disturb the master's rest." Everyone was pushed out. Ye Banxia was pushed to the door. Looking at Shi Shangbai, the only one left, his eyes darkened.

"Basil, it's not Chonglou, nor should it be Shishangbai. He is old and has a son." After walking out of the ward for a while, seeing Shiwei and Zisu in front, Ye Banxia suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Basil and Poria stopped and looked at Ye Banxia deeply.

"Although the master said that she has lost her memory, her ex-husband Zhao Yu is real. After experiencing what Zhao Yu did the day before the wedding, and having experienced that reckless relationship with Chonglou, the master is already tired. Who do you think the exhausted master should look for?" Before Fuling could speak, Basil spoke first.

"Find another young man to have a passionate love affair? What happens after the passionate love affair? What Master needs now is stability. A person's life will eventually return to peace. Brother Shi is old and has a son, but he can make Master's life peaceful. Master has been through so much and suffered so much, and now I just hope that she can live a peaceful life."

Luo Le stared at Ye Banxia's ever-changing face and said the last sentence, "A person's life is short and long. In the world of emotions, especially in marriage, everything is not so simple. Love is not enough to support everything."

So, Ye Banxia, ​​you were not suitable to be a master a few years ago. Today, a few years later, without Doctor Chonglou as your master, you are still not suitable!

It is easy to fall in love but hard to stay together. Falling in love is not the same as maintaining a lifelong marriage. He also had a passionate love, but the one he married was Shisu.

After getting married, having children and forming a family, one faces endless trivialities in daily life, which cannot be supported by the word "love".

Only the person who is right for you can get through all the trivialities.

Basil and Poria cocos passed Ye Banxia and chased after Perilla and Pyrola, leaving Ye Banxia standing there with his head down. His clenched fists were shaking, but no one saw it, just like his feelings for Zhu Jin, which no one took seriously.

They will never take it seriously, and will never understand how heavy and how far that relationship goes.

In the ward, Zhu Jin felt a little more energetic after sleeping for another day, and looked at Shi Shangbai with bright eyes.

Ishigami Kashiwa touched his chin and said, "I have already shaved my beard."

Zhu Jin blinked, looked at Shishangbai in the afterglow of dusk, and suddenly said, "I want to go out and take a look." She wanted to see the dusk.

Unable to make a sound, Shi Shangbai saw Zhu Jin moving her mouth. Zhu Jin said it twice, and Shi Shangbai guessed it by looking at her gaze. His eyes lit up, and he quickly found a wheelchair, picked up Zhu Jin and sat on it, and pushed her to the top floor.

The evening breeze was gentle and comfortable, but Shi Shangbai frowned and took off his coat to wrap Zhu Jin up. After wrapping Zhu Jin up, Shi Shangbai relaxed his frown and watched the sunset with Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin felt a little hot and quietly moved his hands outside his coat. Shi Shangbai, who was standing by, saw this and wrapped his hands back without a second thought.

Zhu Jin: “…”

Move out quietly again.

Shi Shangbai glanced at Zhu Jin and wrapped it back.

Zhu Jin broke free at the first opportunity.

Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin who was pursing her lips, then moved closer and covered Zhu Jin's hand with his own.

Zhu Jin didn't move or struggle because she was suddenly afraid of destroying everything in front of her.

The years are quiet and good.

Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin, and seeing that she didn't break free, he tried hard to hold back his laughter.

The sky gradually darkened. Zhu Jin let him cover her in an awkward manner and tried to hold back his laughter. She could not make a sound and just lay there motionless. Her tightly pursed lips had unconsciously risen.
