Chapter 60
He Yanting woke up the next afternoon and recovered his memory.
He opened his eyes and the first thing he said was, "Where's Jiang Ji?"
Zhou Zitan, who had happily walked over, immediately shrank into a corner, looking dark and gloomy after hearing these words.
After releasing his resentful emotions for a while, Zhou Zitan walked out of the ward and made a phone call, asking the person on the other end of the phone to come to the hospital.
After the young man arrived, Zhou Zitan couldn't wait to pull him into the ward.
Seeing this face that was 70% similar to Jiang Ji, He Yanting frowned.
Zhou Zitan asked earnestly, "Brother, you like Jiang Ji's face, so this guy should be okay, right?"
He Yanting had just woken up and was speaking with only a breath, but his momentum was undiminished. "Get out!"
The young man's scalp went numb and he ran away in fear.
Zhou Zitan stood there, looking at He Yanting in confusion, "Why? Doesn't he look like her?"
He really didn't understand why Jiang Ji was not nice to He Yanting. What did He Yanting like about Jiang Ji? Wasn't it just her face?
He Yanting's face was full of frost, "Zhou Zitan..." Don't interfere in my affairs.
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Zitan interrupted him quietly, looking at him with a look of grievance, "I already told you, I'm going to change my last name to He."
He Yanting stared at him, his wounds almost bursting with anger.
After a long while, He Yanting finally spoke, "He Zitan, I'm telling you one last time, don't interfere in the matter between Jiang Ji and me. Go back now, and don't come to the hospital without me."
Zhou Zitan was unwilling to accept it, "Why do you always scold me for an outsider?"
Under normal circumstances, he would not say it, but after experiencing the daily quarrels with the amnesiac He Yanting, Zhou Zitan was not as afraid of He Yanting as before.
"Our relationship over the years is not as good as Jiang Ji? Why do you like him and not me?"
Shen Tingzhou walked into the ward and just happened to hear this tearful accusation.
He suddenly stopped where he was, a little dazed for a moment, as if he had accidentally entered the set of some melodramatic movie about love and hate.
Zhou Zitan continued to express his feelings for He Yanting: "I have liked you since I was a child, and I want to follow you forever. I want to marry you, have children together, and then arrange marriages for these two children."
For a moment, Shen Tingzhou thought that Xiao Zhou and Xiao He were going to get married and have children.
What's wrong with him lately? His thoughts are always so unhealthy!
Shen Tingzhou reflected on himself for two seconds.
He Yanting has always felt that there is something wrong with Zhou Zitan's mind, and it is indeed true. A normal person would not say such a thing.
He frowned and looked at the unreasonable Zhou Zitan, "There should be a psychiatric department here, you can make an appointment and go see it."
Zhou Zitan's eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked, "I knew you thought I was sick and never liked me..."
He Yanting couldn't bear to listen any longer and said in a deep voice, "I just treat you as my younger brother."
Zhou Zitan's eyes suddenly widened, tears sparkled in his eyes, and then ecstasy replaced astonishment.
He rushed over and hugged He Yanting, saying with emotion: "You have been angry with me recently. I thought you were unwilling to acknowledge that I was your brother."
Seeing this, Shen Tingzhou had to come out, "Xiao Zhou, you're pressing on your brother's wound."
Zhou Zitan was stunned for a moment, then let go of He Yanting, and saw a little blood on his abdomen.
He Yanting broke out in a cold sweat, closed his eyes, and tried to suppress his gasps.
Zhou Zitan was in a panic, and Shen Tingzhou stepped forward and pressed the call button, calling in medical personnel to re-bandage He Yanting.
-
For He Yanting's safety, Shen Tingzhou took Zhou Zitan away.
On the way back, Zhou Zitan was very excited, "Doctor Shen, did you hear that? My brother said he treats me as his younger brother!"
Shen Tingzhou raised the corner of his lips a little, "I heard it."
Zhou Zitan was secretly happy for a while, then his tone suddenly dropped, "But he still likes Jiang Ji the most."
Shen Tingzhou glanced at Zhou Zitan and consoled him, "He likes you two differently. Brother, you will always be the first in this race."
These words did not make Zhou Zitan, who was always simple-minded, happy. "I don't want him to like Jiang Ji."
Shen Tingzhou didn't say anything.
Zhou Zitan emphasized again, "I hate Jiang Ji!"
Shen Tingzhou was startled, "Why?"
Zhou Zitan didn't say why, "Anyway, I hate him."
Hatred and disgust are not on the same level. Shen Tingzhou stopped the car at the traffic light.
Just as I was about to persuade him not to mess around, Zhou Zitan suddenly looked over and said, "I know, my brother was hospitalized because of him!"
Shen Tingzhou defended Jiang Ji, "This was not planned by Jiang Ji, so we can't blame him, right?"
Zhou Zitan said fiercely: "He just takes advantage of my brother's liking for him."
Shen Tingzhou frowned, "Your logic is wrong. According to what you said, it is reasonable for Lu Yuan to follow and monitor me."
Zhou Zitan: "Who is Lu Yuan?"
Shen Tingzhou: "... the one you sprayed the insecticide with."
Zhou Zitan immediately said, "How can it be the same?"
Shen Tingzhou asked, "Why is it different?"
Zhou Zitan replied as a matter of course, "Because you are Dr. Shen, you can do nothing wrong."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Thank you.
Shen Tingzhou took a deep breath and said, "In any case, don't do anything to Jiang Ji. He probably won't be with your brother."
Zhou Zitan snorted, "I didn't say I would do anything to him, I just simply hate him."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Do you dislike Yu Jurong?"
Zhou Zitan showed disgust, "Disgusting."
"...You're not going to knock Jiang Ji's head, are you?"
"Why would I hit him on the head if he doesn't bother me?"
That's true. The last few times Yu Jurong was bullied was because he took the initiative to get in front of Zhou Zitan.
Shen Tingzhou was really worried about the vicious dog beside him.
I don’t know if Zhou Zitan’s character is formed because he was often beaten by his mother when he was a child, or if it is just his nature.
Shen Tingzhou hesitated and said, "I have a friend who studies psychology."
Zhou Zitan hooked his seat belt and whispered, "When it comes to Jiang Ji, you all think I'm sick."
"It's not because of Jiang Ji, I just think that you treat your brother..." Shen Tingzhou paused subtly.
Zhou Zitan was puzzled, "What happened between me and my brother?"
"Your brother doesn't dislike you because of Jiang Ji. He just doesn't like you to interfere too much. And the feelings you sometimes show towards him are a bit... not like simple brotherhood, but more like love. Only love can have such a strong possessiveness."
Shen Tingzhou glanced at Zhou Zitan, "Do you understand?"
Zhou Zi asked, "Does family love have no possessiveness?"
Shen Tingzhou nodded, "Yes, but not that strong."
Zhou Zitan: "Love can never compare to family love. I will never care about my mom, my brother, my sister, and my grandpa for the sake of others!"
Shen Tingzhou actually thinks that compared with Zhou Zitan, He Yanting is a love-brained person.
"Then you should hate your brother because he doesn't care about his family for the sake of others."
"I hate my brother, doesn't that mean I'm breaking up the family?"
Shen Tingzhou choked and couldn't find any words to refute.
Zhou Zitan has an absolutely self-consistent logic. He mindlessly stands on the side of Shen Tingzhou and He Yanting. It may not be because he agrees with them, but maybe he does not want to split friendship and family ties?
Shen Tingzhou wanted to ask the housekeeper for help, but after a long while, he could only utter one sentence, "I hope you don't do anything wrong. If you have anything, you must discuss it with me. You are always welcome to call me."
He was almost about to carve "Don't mess with Jiang Ji" on Zhou Zitan's head.
Zhou Zitan really enjoyed this kind of care and said happily, "I understand, Doctor Shen."
-
When Shen Tingzhou drove back home, he saw Sang Yan, who was fidgeting in the living room.
Shen Tingzhou was a little surprised, "Butler Xiao Sang?"
Sang Yan felt like he had found a savior. He immediately stood up, walked over quickly, and said urgently, "Doctor Shen, you are finally back. The master is sick."
Although Sang Yan looked terrible, strangely, Shen Tingzhou did not feel any urgency. He might have subconsciously felt that Butler Sang and Mr. Fu were...
As a doctor, he condemned his own preconceptions and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Or is it a sudden fainting?"
Sang Yan shook his head. "No, it's a very strange disease. Sir, you always feel cold. No matter how thick the clothes you wear or how thick the quilt you cover yourself with, you still feel cold."
Shen Tingzhou suspected that Fu Huaifei had a fever, but Sang Yan was so careful that he couldn't fail to notice the fever.
Shen Tingzhou glanced around and asked, "Where is Mr. Fu?"
Xu Xun spoke first, "He refused to get out of the car, saying he was cold."
Sang Yan originally wanted to take Fu Huaifei to see a psychiatrist, and they had already made an appointment, but Fu Huaifei refused to get out of the car, saying it was too cold outside.
He really had no other choice but to come over and ask Shen Tingzhou for help.
Shen Tingzhou followed Sang Yan into the car. Fu Huaifei was curled up in the seat, wrapped in a sleeping bag and covered with two layers of down quilts. His face was flushed with heat, and his forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, but he was still shivering.
As soon as the car door opened, he curled up in his sleeping bag as if he was afraid of the cold.
Shen Tingzhou touched Fu Huaifei's forehead and found it was very hot.
"No, we have to cool him down quickly." Shen Tingzhou looked sullen and reached out to pull at Fu Huaifei's two layers of down quilt.
Fu Huaifei shivered even more violently, and said weakly, "It's cold."
Sang Yan stood anxiously behind him, looking at Fu Huaifei under the quilt. Fu Huaifei also looked over. His eyelashes were wet with sweat and drooped listlessly on his eyelids. His cheeks were red, but his lips were pale, as if he was terminally ill.
Sang Yan's heart ached, "Sir, please listen to Dr. Shen."
Fu Huaifei just said, "Cold..."
Shen Tingzhou asked, "What kind of cooling method?"
Xu Xun said calmly: "Maybe it's because I'm lonely and cold."
After hearing this, Fu Huaifei buried his face in his sleeping bag again.
Xu Xun took out his cell phone and said, "Do you want me to call grandma? I think she can cure your problem."
Fu Huaifei quietly arched his back a little out of the sleeping bag, glanced at Xu Xun with dissatisfaction, then moved his gaze to Sang Yan. When he looked at Sang Yan, his eyelashes drooped and he looked weak.
After seeing this scene, what else does Shen Tingzhou not understand?
他哭笑不得，“傅先生，你是不想小桑管家去進修是嗎？”
桑岩表情一怔。
傅懷斐飛快看了一眼桑岩，然後搖頭，嗓音缺水般低啞，“我怎麽會攔着他，有更好的前程，我只會祝福他。”
他的每個字都帶氣泡音，好像通了電似的，沈亭州耳朵癢得不行。
桑岩失神似地靜了半晌，才輕聲說，“我沒想走。”
傅懷斐朝他擡了一下手，桑岩快步走過去握住。
沈亭州悄然無聲地把舞臺讓給他倆。
桑岩半跪在傅懷斐面前，盯着那張俊美潮紅的臉說，“先生，我從來沒想過要走，我只是想繼續進修，我覺得……我不是一個好的管家。”
最後一句，他說得輕不可聞。
傅懷斐的臉徹底從睡袋裏鑽出來，蹙眉道：“誰說的？”
桑岩垂眸不語。
“是不是你父親，或者是我母親？”傅懷斐艱難地撐起身體，“我去找他們算賬！”
桑岩忙說，“不是的。”
傅懷斐看向他，“那你怎麽會這麽想？”
桑岩低落道：“……我總是讓先生生病，沒能好好照顧您，沒有我之前，您不是這樣的。”
傅懷斐定住。
沈亭州感覺自己好像出幻覺了，傅懷斐竟然突然變成漫畫裏的Q版形象，分明的五官像圓溜溜的豆子一樣。
他頂着豆子臉，小聲說，“我以後少生病就是了。”
桑岩擡起頭，也變成豆子臉。
兩顆豆子對視，沈亭州覺得自己不應該，但他真的好想笑。
傅豆豆別扭地說，“你別……”
最後幾個字，他說得不清楚，桑豆豆睜着好奇地豆豆眼，“先生？”
傅懷斐重複了一遍，“你別走了，在我眼裏，你就是這世上最好的管家。”
桑岩表情怔怔地，似乎沒料到對方會這樣說。
他怎麽能是世界上最好的管家呢，他這麽差勁，自從來到先生身邊就總是讓先生生病。
傅懷斐低聲說，“沒有人比你更好了。”
兩個豆豆臉不經意又對到一起，互相看着對方誰都沒有說話。
沈亭州終于忍不住笑起來，然後被許殉抓包了。
看他眼睛染着笑，許殉語調跟着輕松了幾分，“笑什麽？”
沈亭州不知道該怎麽說，這種事只可意會不可言傳。
突然豆豆臉消失了，傅懷斐恢複了俊朗的長相，長發披散在肩頭，仍舊是別扭的表情，支支吾吾對桑岩說，“頭發好像有點油了。”
桑岩馬上說，“那回去我給先生洗一洗，正好院子裏的臘梅開了，我折幾支編進先生的頭發裏。”
傅懷斐驕矜地點點頭。
桑岩又露出擔心，“那您還冷嗎，要不要去醫院做個檢查？”
傅懷斐眼神有點飄忽，對桑岩搖搖頭，“回去洗個熱水澡就好了。”
-
傅懷斐出了不少汗，怕他會着涼，桑岩關上車門，一個人跟沈亭州和許殉道別。
沈亭州問，“小桑管家，你還走嗎？”
桑岩看了一眼車裏的傅懷斐，“不去了，先生是一個很好的人，他願意包容我的缺點。”
許殉說，“沒事，你也願意包容他的矯情。”
桑岩嘴角抽搐，明顯是想反駁，但又不能反駁，感覺兩個唇瓣都要開始打架了，表情逐漸扭曲。
看到桑岩這副難受的樣子，沈亭州忙說，“他開玩笑呢，傅先生應該沒事了，小桑管家別太擔心了，記得回去多讓他喝點水。”
桑岩上下兩瓣唇這才停下，“我知道了沈醫生，還有其他要注意的嗎？”
沈亭州：“……別再給他蓋那麽厚了。”
否則傅懷斐就會成為第一個在冬天“中暑”的人。
桑岩也覺得尴尬，“……好。那我們走了。”
沈亭州揮手致別，“路上小心。”
桑岩微笑離去。
人走後，沈亭州無奈地看着許殉，“你不能總是當着小桑管家的面說傅先生壞話。”
許殉默然不語，一副老實聽訓的模樣。
但沈亭州知道，下次他還是會犯。
沈亭州辛辣評價，“你不喜歡管家毒舌你，你還要毒舌別人。小許，己所不欲勿施于人。”
許殉抱過來一只貓，成功轉移了沈亭州的注意力。
沈亭州撸了一會兒貓，許殉又将貓抱走，讓沈亭州躺在沙發上，他給沈亭州按摩。
剛開始還有點不自在，五分鐘後，昨夜沒睡好的沈亭州成功入眠。
看着睡着的沈亭州，許殉皺了皺眉。
管家走過來，睨了一眼許殉，“這就是你的打算？”
許殉面無表情的回複，“你別管。”
說完擠到沙發上，跟沈亭州躺到了一塊。
管家又看了他一眼，然後笑着走了。
沈亭州一覺醒來，入目就是許殉那張放大的俊臉，他自己占了三分之二的沙發，許殉只能憋屈地側身躺着，稍微一動就會掉下去。
沈亭州雖然不明白他為什麽會躺到自己身邊，但還是朝後挪了挪。
身前的人突然抱住他，将腦袋埋進他脖頸裏，蹭了又蹭。
許殉的頭發自然不如貓咪的皮毛那樣柔軟，蹭在脖子裏卻也不會難受，只是有點涼意。
沈亭州不清楚他到底醒了，還是繼續睡着，朝後仰了仰。
許殉悶在沈亭州的頸窩，嗓音又變得黏糊起來，“你老是摸我幹什麽？”
沈亭州：？
許殉伸手摁住腰上那個一直撓他癢癢的手，結果是毛絨絨的觸感，他猛地回頭看去，肥碩的橘貓正無辜盯着他，而他手裏捉着對方的尾巴。
看着一貓一人對視，反應過來的沈亭州笑起來。
許殉一個不慎，從沙發上掉了下去，橘貓瞬間起飛，以殘影之勢跳到一旁。
許殉跌坐在地毯上，神色晦暗不明。
沈亭州忍着笑問他，“你沒事吧？”
二樓傳來管家的聲音，“別擔心沈醫生，少爺有自己的打算。”
沈亭州愣神的時候，許殉一把将他拽了下來。
不受控的失重感讓沈亭州腎上腺飙升，但并沒有摔疼，許殉雙手撐在他兩側，做俯卧撐似的低頭一下下地啄着他。
沈亭州一驚，“管家還在。”
許殉狠狠道：“他自己會走！”
沈亭州：……
-
晚一點的時候，沈亭州接到了江寄的電話。
江寄的背景很嘈雜，他走走停停，終于找到一個安靜的地方，“沈醫生，他給我打電話了，讓我去見他。”
沈亭州隐約間聽到門診叫號聲，“你在哪兒？”
江寄停頓了幾秒，然後開說，“我現在在醫院。”
沈亭州看了一眼腕表上的時間，“你們現在就要見面？”
江寄的聲音在喧鬧裏有幾分失真，“不是，他約我明天見。”
賀延庭是有失智那段記憶，沈亭州無法判斷，現在的賀延庭是偏向獨斷專行的過去，還是記憶融合後，性情有所改變。
沈亭州沉默片刻，字字斟酌，“如果你想清楚了，見一面先談談，看他什麽态度吧，前提是你真的想清楚了，作出這個決定以後絕不後悔。”
江寄：“我知道，謝謝你沈醫生。”
沈亭州：“我也沒做什麽，對了，如果你遇到周子探了，一定要第一時間給我打電話。”
他對周子探的感官很複雜，違法亂紀是小周，保護家人朋友也是小周。
雖說人無完人，但周子探這個性格反差太大了，沈亭州一直在試圖找平衡點。
江寄：“好。”
沈亭州寬慰他，讓他回去好好睡一覺，別在醫院附近轉了，賀延庭人已經沒事了。
就算再有事，那也不是江寄的責任，是小周的……
江寄是一個善良有責任心的人，經過這次的事，對賀延庭的感官肯定比他對小周還要複雜。
有時候善良往往是一種拖累，會耽擱前進的步伐。
沈亭州嘆了一口氣，希望他倆能和平解決這件事。
挂了電話，沈亭州正要去浴室洗澡，房門被人敲了敲。
“是我。”門外響起許殉的聲音。
沈亭州納悶地走過去，将房門打開了。
穿着一身睡衣的許殉站在門外，烏黑的頭發還有些潮濕，發尾垂在極俊的眉眼，唇也被水汽蒸得發紅，莫名給人一種秀色可餐的感覺。
沈亭州的心快跳了一下，喉嚨不舒服似的滾了滾，“怎麽了？”
許殉擡頭看了一眼沈亭州，又垂下眼，說：“睡不着，想跟你聊一聊。”
沈亭州反應慢半拍地後退，“那，進來吧。”
許殉走進了房間，沈亭州順手把房門關上了。
回頭就見許殉還站在原地，似乎他才是這裏的外人，沈亭州失笑，“随便坐吧。”
穿着一身睡衣的許殉就随便坐到了沈亭州的床上。
沈亭州在原地立了幾秒，然後走過去坐到了他旁邊。
兩個人陷入短暫的沉默，這時沈亭州的手機響了，是一個陌生的號碼。
出于職業習慣，沈亭州還是接通了。
電話那邊傳來蘇薔氣憤的聲音，“沈醫生，我要告發！”
沈亭州一懵，看了一眼身旁的許殉，“告發什麽？”
蘇薔怒不可遏，“告發你最愛的小周，居然，他居然！”
Daxiang's voice was very penetrating. When Xu Xun heard the words "my beloved Xiao Zhou", his eyes suddenly became deep and unfathomable.
Shen Tingzhou felt the pressure and his shoulders hunched. "What do you mean you love Xiao Zhou the most..."
Please stop talking nonsense, there's a chaste woman sitting next to me!
Su Qiang, who didn't understand the situation, continued, "Your beloved Xiao Zhou is actually with Yu Jurong. How hateful! He actually betrayed you! He is no longer worthy of the word 'favorite'. Doctor Shen, don't love him anymore. He is not worth it!"
Under Su Qiang's series of "favorite Xiao Zhou" bombardments, Shen Tingzhou's already precarious reputation completely collapsed.
He didn't know whether to explain to Su Rong that Xiao Zhou was not his favorite, or should he first ask him where he met Zhou Zitan and Yu Jurong?
Xu Xun, who was standing by, said, "It turned out to be Xiao Zhou, my favorite Xiao Zhou."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
