Chapter 65
In a rage, Jiang Chengyan stabbed Yan Xun twice, one of the knives pierced his kidney.
Because the insertion point was relatively deep and the left kidney was severely damaged, the doctor had no choice but to perform a resection.
The day Yan Xun woke up, he received two text messages from Li Yang.
One was a video showing him and Jiang Chengyan on the bed in a hotel, and the other was text -
【Stop bothering my brother.】
Jiang Chengyan, who was taken to the police station, only said that he had an argument with Yan Xun and that he injured the man with a knife during the fierce conflict.
Now, one of them is lying in the hospital, and the other is in the detention center, and they are no longer able to harass Kang Qiqiao.
Kang Qiqiao didn't want to disturb Shen Tingzhou anymore and prepared to go back to her hometown with her grandfather.
On the day of leaving, Shen Tingzhou sorted out the plastic surgery hospitals sent by Ling Yun and handed them to Kang Qiqiao.
Shen Tingzhou said, "If you want to remove scars from your body one day, you can go to these hospitals and ask."
Kang Qiqiao felt warm in her heart and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Tingzhou smiled, "Nothing, I just asked a friend who knows about medical beauty. I will live a good life with Grandpa in the future."
Kang Qiqiao nodded solemnly, "I will try my best to look forward. I hope everything goes well for you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Tingzhou waved at him, "Have a safe trip."
Seeing Li Yang coming over, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help feeling a little weird.
Li Yang's eyes were warm and his voice was clear and pleasant, "Mr. Shen, we are leaving now. Thank you for taking care of my brother during this time."
Shen Tingzhou shook his head, "I didn't do anything..."
As if he could see that Shen Tingzhou was hesitant to speak, Li Yang asked, "Mr. Shen, do you have something to say to me?"
Shen Tingzhou looked at Li Yang's gentle and moist eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that your brother has been through a lot and has suffered a lot of damage both physically and mentally."
Li Yang understood what he hadn't said yet, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I understand everything."
Shen Tingzhou said nothing more and watched them leave.
After Kang Qiqiao returned to his hometown, he called Shen Tingzhou to report that he was safe.
Shen Tingzhou felt relieved after making sure that he returned home safely.
Qin Shiyao was very concerned about the progress of the case and called Shen Tingzhou seven or eight times a day to discuss the matter.
Finally, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you busy?"
Qin Shiyao said: "Busy! But no matter how busy you are, you can always find time to eat melons. If life is only about work, how boring would it be?"
It seemed that what he said was correct. Unable to refute it, Shen Tingzhou remained silent.
Qin Shiyao brought the topic back to the topic, "So how did they end up sleeping together?"
Shen Tingzhou had a guess in his mind, but he was not very sure, and he was not in a position to say more about things he was uncertain about.
Qin Shiyao sighed, "It must be that literary guy. He looks like a dark and yandere person."
Shen Tingzhou became more and more suspicious of the way he looked at people, "...are you looking at a sickly girl?"
Qin Shiyao gave an affirmative answer, "Of course."
Shen Tingzhou opened his mouth, opened it again, and finally closed it resignedly.
Well, he was not very good at judging people.
-
Xu Xun has already booked a place for vacation and is just waiting for Shen Tingzhou to make time for it.
Shen Tingzhou's only fixed schedule was to go to Su Yu's house every Wednesday, and Xu Xun booked a flight to leave Kyoto on Wednesday night.
After receiving the small gloves knitted by Shen Tingzhou for babies, Su Yu took out the ball of wool again and sat on the sofa with Shen Tingzhou to smooth out the tangled wool.
Su Yu suddenly asked, "Dr. Shen, are you going on vacation soon?"
Shen Tingzhou was shocked, "How did you know?"
Su Yu looked up and said, "Not only do I know you want to go on vacation, I also know the location."
Although Shen Tingzhou admired Su Yu's ability to judge people, he did not believe that he could be so accurate.
The next second Su Yu said accurately, "Are you going skiing?"
Shen Tingzhou, a materialist, almost believed in metaphysics at this moment. He looked at Su Yu in disbelief.
Su Yu raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly smiled, "I was kidding you. When you were flipping through the photo just album now, I saw the skiing precautions you made."
Shen Tingzhou smiled helplessly and continued to roll the wool into a ball.
Su Yu: "If you have any more questions about skiing, you can ask me. I used to go skiing with A Yan."
Shen Tingzhou: "Okay."
Su Yu pulled the ball of thread, Shen Tingzhou looked up at him, and Su Yu asked, "Are you going with that Xu Xun?"
Shen Tingzhou was a little embarrassed, "Yeah."
Su Yu raised his chin and said in a casual voice, "I have met him before."
Because of the relationship between the housekeeper and Su Yu's father, the two had met before. Shen Tingzhou was not surprised, but he still felt awkward in his heart and could not imagine the scene of the two meeting.
Su Yu: "When I was a kid, I followed my dad to visit his grandmother's house during the Chinese New Year. I remember that day, he made his uncle cry."
This...is not surprising, Mr. Fu is indeed quite emotional.
Su Yu complained, "Because he cut his uncle's hair."
Xiao Xu can't be such a naughty child.
Shen Tingzhou subconsciously defended him, "That's impossible. Is it possible that Mr. Fu's hair got tangled somewhere and had to be cut off?"
Su Yu grabbed the ball of yarn and crumpled it, pouting and saying, "Maybe, I forgot."
When Yu Mingyan came back from the company, Su Yu stood up and ran over to hug him, "Doctor Shen is upset that I can't go skiing right now, so he wants to elope with that Xu Xun."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Yu Jurong, who was standing behind Yu Mingyan, was leaning against the wall, folding his arms, looking as if he was enjoying a show.
Yu Mingyan comforted him, "Doctor Shen was just confused for a moment. When he finds out that Xu Xun can't ski, he will definitely turn back."
The strongest reason for breaking up in history - the partner can't ski.
Su Yu rubbed his head against Yu Mingyan's shoulder and said angrily, "Xu Xun, it doesn't sound like a name that can ski."
Shen Tingzhou: ...I'm not that keen on skiing.
Yu Jurong interrupted, "It doesn't matter whether he can ski or not. What matters is that Dr. Shen is willing to accompany him."
Shen Tingzhou finally understood why Daxiang disliked Yu Jurong. He was really rude.
Su Yu's eyes began to brew with intense love, hatred and vengeance again.
Shen Tingzhou interrupted the spell and coaxed, "I can weave rabbit ears with wool."
Su Yu was attracted by the rabbit ears. He said "I don't believe it" but walked over honestly.
Yu Jurong added, "It must have been woven for Xu Xun."
Su Yu stopped and began to slowly back away, walking with the steps of someone looking up to the sky in sorrow in the rainy night.
Shen Tingzhou said quickly, "I have never woven it for him."
Yu Jurong shrugged, "I don't know if you believe it or not, but I don't believe it anyway."
Shen Tingzhou wanted to stuff Yu Jurong's mouth with a ball of yarn, but Su Yu took a step ahead and stuffed a handful of grapes into his mouth.
"Shut up! Dr. Shen is willing to lie to me, which shows that he loves me. Otherwise, why wouldn't he lie to others?"
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Yu Mingyan cooperated and grabbed Yu Jurong's hands. He raised his palm and chopped down Yu Jurong's neck. "You are misleading people with your lies. Execute him on the spot!"
Su Yuchong snorted at the prisoner Yu Jurong, then sat next to Shen Tingzhou and said obediently, "Doctor Shen, I want rabbit ears."
Looking at Yu Jurong who was pressed against the wall with an expressionless face, Shen Tingzhou felt that he shouldn't do that, but he really couldn't help laughing.
No matter how powerful and successful you are outside, you will still be suppressed by your blood when you return home.
Shen Tingzhou knitted a rabbit ear headband for Su Yu and successfully won over the pregnant husband.
Facts have proved that craftsmen are popular in every era.
-
That night, Shen Tingzhou took a plane to the ski resort with Xu Xun.
Xu Xun started skiing at a very young age, and his skills are definitely among the best among ordinary people.
Shen Tingzhou's skills were relatively weak. He first familiarized himself with the beginner ski slope, then moved on to the intermediate level, and finally to the advanced level.
The advanced area has steep slopes and long but narrow snow trails, making it a great place for Xu Xun to show off his skills.
Watching him moving around on the snow track, every move was clean and neat, like a fish swimming on the snow. When encountering a high slope, Xu Xun turned over and jumped, and Shen Tingzhou's adrenaline soared.
When Xu Xun landed, he leaned sideways, picked up the clean snow beside the snow path with his hands, and gave it to Shen Tingzhou when he came back.
Just as Shen Tingzhou was about to take it, Xu Xun suddenly raised his hand and blew snow towards Shen Tingzhou's cheek.
The fine snow flew onto Shen Tingzhou's face, and Xu Xun smiled as if his prank was successful.
Shen Tingzhou was amused and angry, "How old are you?"
Xu Xun said nothing. He took off his gloves and brushed away the snow on Shen Tingzhou's cheek. Then he kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter how old you are, it won't stop me from teasing you."
When those two slightly cool lips touched him, Shen Tingzhou's eyelashes twitched.
Xu Xun asked vaguely, "Are you hungry?"
Shen Tingzhou nodded.
Xu Xun let go of Shen Tingzhou and took his hand, "Let's go eat."
After returning to the room to change clothes, Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xunchao walked towards the restaurant and unexpectedly met a familiar person on the way.
The other party probably didn't expect to meet them in such a place. He stopped and picked at the glasses on his nose.
An irritable young man's voice came from behind, "Song Ziqing, where have you been?"
The boy wearing glasses was startled and quickly hid in a passage nearby.
Soon a young man with great momentum came over.
It was the boy I met at the bathroom door of the cinema that day.
At that time, Shen Tingzhou was ridiculed by this domineering teenager about his age, who told him that he should not date young boys at his retirement age. Then he was taught a lesson by Xu Xun.
The moment he saw Xu Xun, the young man frowned, obviously remembering what happened that day.
He quickly scanned the corridor to make sure that the person was not there, and without even saying hello, he turned into another corridor to continue looking for someone.
Hearing the footsteps of people leaving, Song Ziqing stuck his head out of the passage.
Shen Tingzhou asked him, "Did you have a fight?"
Perhaps it was because he met familiar people in a foreign country and felt cared for by them, Song Ziqing's emotions suddenly came to a head and his eyes turned red.
Remembering that he was staying at the young man's house, Shen Tingzhou somewhat understood his sensitivity and loneliness, so he led him to the restaurant.
Seeing that Song Ziqing was not used to the food here, Shen Tingzhou went next door and ordered a bowl of seafood stewed noodles.
Shen Tingzhou pushed the hot drink over to him and said, "Fill your stomach and go back to have a good talk with him. I think he still cares about you."
Song Ziqing stopped chewing, his expression gloomy, "He doesn't care about me..."
Shen Tingzhou said, "If I didn't care, I wouldn't have taken you out to play."
Song Ziqing shook his head and explained in a low voice, "That's because Uncle Jiang asked me to come and look after him."
Shen Tingzhou asked, "Do you like him?"
Song Ziqing's body tensed up all of a sudden and he glanced at Shen Tingzhou in panic.
Shen Tingzhou smiled. He could still see through the simple little boy's thoughts.
Xu Xun put the peeled shrimp on Shen Tingzhou's plate, and Shen Tingzhou ate it. Then he encouraged Song Ziqing, "Go back and talk to him. Tell him what makes you uncomfortable."
Shen Tingzhou gave Song Ziqing a lot of advice on how to get along with others.
Song Ziqing listened to everything and even took Shen Tingzhou's words as his guiding principle.
After the meal, Song Ziqing said goodbye to Shen Tingzhou and went back to have a good talk with Jiang Sheng as he had asked.
Not long after walking out of the restaurant, Song Ziqing was stopped. When he turned around and saw Xu Xun, he immediately felt a little embarrassed.
With these two sides of Xu Xunjian, the other party never made things difficult for him, but Song Ziqing was a little afraid of him.
Xu Xun came over and said, "If you want Jiang Sheng to like you, confess to him and then go back and pretend nothing happened."
This was different from what Shen Tingzhou said. Song Ziqing stood there in a daze.
Xu Xun: "Then do two more things. First, stop wearing glasses for a few days. Second, pick a random person in your WeChat list who has time and is willing to chat, and chat with him every day. No matter whether what he says is funny or not, you just hold your phone and laugh. Jiang Sheng has to call you at least three times before you can look away from your phone and pretend that you just heard what he said. Can you remember it?"
Song Ziqing could remember these words, but...
Song Ziqing asked hesitantly, "Should I go back and talk to him?"
Xu Xun said decisively: "No need."
Song Ziqing didn't know which one to listen to, but he had the intuition of a top student, and nodded to Xu Xun in a daze, "I understand, thank you."
Xu Xun said calmly: "You're welcome. Helping you is also helping myself. After all, it's not easy for the two of us to go on vacation alone."
After Xu Xundu left, Song Ziqing realized something belatedly:
Am I disturbing their vacation?
-
Shen Tingzhou rarely gets sick, but he has figured out a pattern from the few times he has had a cold or a fever.
As long as the throat starts to make noises, there must be a high fever.
After dinner, Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun found a movie to watch. When they were almost done watching the movie, Shen Tingzhou's throat started to feel uncomfortable, and he indeed had a fever in the middle of the night.
He had prepared some antipyretic medicine by his bed, and when he felt the fever was getting worse, he got up and took two pills.
The next morning, the fever had subsided a little, but it was still over 38 degrees. Shen Tingzhou sent Xu Xun a message, briefly explaining the situation, and then covered his head and went back to sleep.
When Shen Tingzhou woke up, he felt his forehead was cold. He raised his hand and touched it, and found it was a fever-reducing patch.
Xu Xun came over with a glass of water, "Are you awake?"
Shen Tingzhou blinked, "Why are you here?"
Xu Xun said, "I asked the front desk for your room card. Have some water."
Xu Xun helped Shen Tingzhou up and put the rim of the cup to Shen Tingzhou's lips.
Shen Tingzhou said with a smile, "I'm not so sick that I can't even hold a glass of water."
Xu Xun hummed and continued to feed Shen Tingzhou water.
Shen Tingzhou took a sip and looked over. "Did you add honey?"
Xu Xun said, "I checked online and found that drinking honey water is good for catching a cold."
Doctor Shen gave his approval and drank two more sips. He wanted to drink more, but Xu Xun took the cup away.
Shen Tingzhou looked over in confusion, and Xu Xun said, "I called and ordered food."
In fact, Shen Tingzhou was not hungry at all, but he still drank half a bowl of rice porridge out of courtesy.
He lay back on the bed, rubbed his blocked nose, and said to Xu Xun: "I'm fine. I'll be fine soon after I get some more sleep."
Xu Xun brought a hot towel over and put it on Shen Tingzhou's nose, "Go to sleep, don't worry about me."
Looking at the considerate Xiao Xu, Shen Tingzhou felt warm in his heart.
After Shen Tingzhou fell asleep, Xu Xun kissed the corner of his eyes, then got up and soaked the towel in hot water. After wringing it dry, he continued to apply hot compress to Shen Tingzhou.
Under Xu Xun's careful care, Shen Tingzhou's fever subsided in the evening and his nose was no longer blocked.
Finally having an appetite, Shen Tingzhou went downstairs to have dinner with Xu Xun.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Shen Tingzhou saw Song Ziqing and Jiang Sheng. He wanted to go over and say hello, but was stopped by Xu Xun.
Shen Tingzhou did not insist and found a relatively quiet place to sit down.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Song Ziqing and Jiang Sheng, "I wonder if they talked."
Xu Xun poured a glass of water and handed it to Shen Tingzhou, and replied casually, "We should talk about it now."
Shen Tingzhou took a sip of water, and his brows suddenly wrinkled. "It seems that the conversation didn't go very well."
Jiang Sheng looked unhappy. "Are you here to eat or to play with your phone?"
Although Song Ziqing did not understand Xu Xun's strategy, he followed his instructions. After Jiang Sheng called him three times, he looked up and asked, "What, what happened?"
Jiang Sheng said angrily: "Put down your phone!"
Song Ziqing's breathing stagnated slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to push up his glasses, but his nose felt empty.
Jiang Sheng tried to grab Song Ziqing's phone, gritting his teeth and saying, "Who are you talking to all day? You're showing your teeth, aren't you afraid of getting your teeth tanned?"
Song Ziqing tried to block it, but accidentally hit Jiang Sheng on the chin with a loud snap.
Jiang Sheng's eyes widened immediately, and he was extremely upset. "You beat me for him!"
Shen Tingzhou, who was eavesdropping unconsciously, felt that the words sounded familiar and glanced at Xu Xun.
Xu Xun lowered his eyebrows and was looking through the menu to find a light staple food for Shen Tingzhou.
Song Ziqing stammered and was unable to speak.
Jiang Sheng became even more furious when he saw him like this, and he stood up and walked outside.
Song Ziqing hurried after him, but he was not wearing glasses and forgot that there was a step here. He stepped on empty air and fell forward uncontrollably.
Jiang Sheng seemed to sense something and immediately turned around and supported him.
After helping Song Ziqing to calm down, Jiang Sheng asked angrily, "Where are your glasses?"
Song Ziqing was shocked and unsure.
Seeing that he was so scared that his eyes were rounded, Jiang Sheng looked like a lovable man, and his heart softened, but he still said harshly, "You chatted too much, and you saw through the lens, right?"
Song Ziqing said nothing.
Jiang Sheng snorted and pulled him out.
Song Ziqing had more than 300 degrees of myopia, and he felt uncomfortable at all when he suddenly took off his glasses.
After Jiang Sheng noticed this, he walked a little slower and admonished: "If you are nearsighted, you should look at your phone less. What is there to talk about if you hold your phone and chat all day long?"
But Jiang Sheng soon discovered the advantages of Song Ziqing not wearing glasses.
On the way back to the hotel room, Song Ziqing's furry pendant fell off again.
This was a prize Jiang Sheng won in a balloon-pinching contest many years ago, and he gave it to Song Ziqing. He has been wearing it ever since, but the quality is really poor, the chain is always breaking, and the floor is covered with an off-white carpet.
Song Ziqing squinted his eyes to look for the pendant. Jiang Sheng, who had excellent eyesight, picked it up when he was not paying attention and started to conduct random instructions.
"It's in front of you. No, you've gone the wrong way. It's in front of you. Yes, yes, yes, it's right here. Can't you see it? I can see it from so far away."
Song Ziqing searched for a while and finally found that Jiang Sheng had already hidden himself. He was a little angry and walked back without saying a word.
Jiang Sheng chased after him and bumped into Song Ziqing's shoulder, "Are you angry?"
Song Ziqing ignored him.
"Speak."
"Nerd."
"Song Xiaodai."
Seeing that Song Ziqing had been ignoring him, Jiang Sheng stepped forward to block him, clasping his cheeks with both hands and squeezing them together, "Are you angry? You've made me waste so much time talking to you today, and you still dare to be angry with me! Tell me, who were you chatting with today?"
Song Ziqing kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Seeing that he was still not going to confess, Jiang Sheng was so angry that he tried to pry his mouth open, "Open your mouth and speak!"
Song Ziqing closed his eyes and closed his mouth even tighter.
But Jiang Sheng didn't move. Song Ziqing quietly opened his eyes and saw that Jiang Sheng suddenly made a very ferocious expression. He was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes again.
Watching Song Ziqing's eyelashes trembling, Jiang Sheng inexplicably felt that he was well-behaved and likable. His heart was itchy and his fingers kept stroking Song Ziqing's lips.
-
After filling his stomach, Shen Tingzhou felt his strength return instantly.
When walking back slowly, I saw Jiang Sheng and Song Ziqing kissing at a corner.
Shen Tingzhou was shocked, "…Is it developing so fast?"
Xu Xun didn't even look in that direction. He took Shen Tingzhou's hand and continued walking forward.
Shen Tingzhou, who had recovered from the shock, sighed, "Communication is indeed the bridge of mankind. Look, how rapidly the relationship between the two of them developed after their conversation."
Xu Xun smiled slightly, "Yeah."
Shen Tingzhou is very confident in his own theory. "We still need to communicate more. Communication is really useful."
Xu Xun did not refute and continued to say "hmm".
After Shen Tingzhou finished talking about the importance of communication, Xu Xun said to him, "I'm afraid you'll get a fever again at night, so let's sleep together tonight."
After speaking freely, Shen Tingzhou had no sense of crisis and agreed without much thought.
When Shen Tingzhou went to take a shower alone at night, he felt something was wrong. When he came out and saw Xu Xun who had changed into pajamas, he felt even more uncomfortable.
I turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, and the darkness invaded the entire room.
Shen Tingzhou breathed very lightly and was only an arm's length away from Xu Xun. The other's body temperature seemed to be transmitted through the clothes and the air.
Shen Tingzhou is also an adult man, and Xu Xun is lying next to him. It is impossible for him not to be nervous and have wild thoughts.
The back of his hand was suddenly touched, and Shen Tingzhou's nerves jumped, and his voice began to stutter, "What, what happened?"
Xu Xun's voice became extremely low and pleasant in the night, "Want to see if your body temperature is high?"
Shen Tingzhou shook his head, "No... no."
Xu Xun came closer. Shen Tingzhou's body tensed up. Xu Xun touched his face with his fingers and asked, "Why does your face feel hot?"
Shen Tingzhou's heart was pounding, and he tried to calm himself down, "Is there? No, maybe the room is too hot."
Xu Xun turned sideways and faced Shen Tingzhou. "Do you want to put some pillows in the middle?"
Shen Tingzhou's mind was a mess at the moment, and he didn't quite understand what Xu Xun meant, "Huh?"
Xu Xun looked at him and said, "I stayed overnight because I was afraid you would have a fever again, but I am a normal man after all, and it is inevitable that I will have a reaction if I lie next to you."
Reaction?!
Shen Tingzhou was frightened by the straight ball.
Xu Xun came closer, his eyes burning like a dark flame in the dark night. He stared at Shen Tingzhou and asked again, "Do you want to put some pillows in the middle?"
Shen Tingzhou's throat rolled over, and he felt like something was in danger.
