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 asked, "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?
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mr. Fu, you don't want Butler Sang to go to further studies, right?"
Sang Yan was stunned.
Fu Huaifei quickly glanced at Sang Yan, then shook his head, his voice hoarse as if it was dehydrated, "Why would I stand in his way? If he has a better future, I will only wish him the best."
Every word he uttered was accompanied by a bubble sound, as if electricity was flowing through it, and Shen Tingzhou's ears were itchy.
Sang Yan was silent for a long while, as if in a trance, before he said softly, "I don't want to leave."
Fu Huaifei raised his hand towards him, and Sang Yan quickly walked over and shook it.
Shen Tingzhou quietly gave the stage to the two of them.
Sang Yan half-knelt in front of Fu Huaifei, staring at his handsome, flushed face and said, "Sir, I have never thought about leaving. I just want to continue my studies. I feel... I am not a good housekeeper."
He said the last sentence so softly that it was almost inaudible.
Fu Huaifei's face emerged from the sleeping bag and he frowned and asked, "Who said that?"
Sang Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Is it your father, or my mother?" Fu Huaifei struggled to stand up, "I'll go find them to settle the score!"
Sang Yan said quickly, "No."
Fu Huaifei looked at him, "Then why do you think so?"
Sang Yan said dejectedly: "...I always made you sick and failed to take good care of you. You were not like this before I came."
Fu Huaifei stopped.
Shen Tingzhou felt like he was hallucinating. Fu Huaifei suddenly turned into a Q version character from a comic book, with distinct facial features like round beans.
With a chubby face, he whispered, "I just hope I don't get sick as often in the future."
Sang Yan raised his head and his face also turned into a bean-shaped one.
The two beans looked at each other. Shen Tingzhou felt that he shouldn't do that, but he really wanted to laugh.
Fu Doudou said awkwardly, "Don't..."
He couldn't pronounce the last few words clearly. Sang Doudou narrowed her eyes curiously and asked, "Sir?"
Fu Huaifei repeated, "Don't leave. In my eyes, you are the best housekeeper in the world."
Sang Yan looked stunned, as if he had not expected the other party to say that.
How can he be the best housekeeper in the world? He is so bad and always makes the gentleman sick since he came to his side.
Fu Huaifei whispered, "No one is better than you."
The two faces accidentally met again and they looked at each other without saying a word.
Shen Tingzhou finally couldn't help laughing, and was caught by Xu Xun.
Seeing his eyes full of smiles, Xu Xun's tone became a little more relaxed, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Tingzhou didn't know what to say. This kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Suddenly, the pimple on his face disappeared, and Fu Huaifei regained his handsome appearance, with his long hair draped over his shoulders. He still had an awkward expression, and he stammered to Sang Yan, "My hair seems a little greasy."
Sang Yan immediately said, "Then I'll wash it for you when I get home. The plum blossoms in the yard are just blooming. I'll pick a few and braid them into your hair."
Fu Huaifei nodded proudly.
Sang Yan looked worried again, "Are you still cold? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Fu Huaifei's eyes were a little absent-minded, and he shook his head at Sang Yan, "Just go back and take a hot bath."
-
Fu Huaifei was sweating a lot, and fearing that he would catch a cold, Sang Yan closed the car door and said goodbye to Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun alone.
Shen Tingzhou asked, "Butler Xiao Sang, are you still leaving?"
Sang Yan glanced at Fu Huaifei in the car and said, "No, Mr. Fu is a very good person. He is willing to tolerate my shortcomings."
Xu Xun said, "It's okay. You are willing to tolerate his hypocrisy."
The corners of Sang Yan's mouth twitched, and it was obvious that he wanted to refute, but he couldn't. It felt like his two lips were about to start fighting, and his expression gradually distorted.
Seeing Sang Yan's distressed look, Shen Tingzhou hurriedly said, "He was joking. Mr. Fu should be fine. Butler Sang, don't worry too much. Remember to let him drink more water when you go back."
Sang Yan's upper and lower lips finally stopped, "I understand, Doctor Shen, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
Shen Tingzhou: "...Don't cover him so thickly anymore."
Otherwise, Fu Huaifei would become the first person to suffer from heatstroke in winter.
Sang Yan also felt embarrassed, "...Okay. Let's go then."
Shen Tingzhou waved goodbye and said, "Be careful on your way."
Sang Yan left with a smile.
After they left, Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun helplessly, "You can't always say bad things about Mr. Fu in front of housekeeper Xiao Sang."
Xu Xun remained silent, looking like he was listening attentively.
But Shen Tingzhou knew that he would make the same mistake again next time.
Shen Tingzhou commented scathingly, "You don't like the housekeeper's harsh words to you, but you are also harsh to others. Xiao Xu, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
Xu Xun brought over a cat and successfully diverted Shen Tingzhou's attention.
Shen Tingzhou stroked the cat for a while, then Xu Xun took the cat away, let Shen Tingzhou lie on the sofa, and he gave Shen Tingzhou a massage.
He felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after five minutes, Shen Tingzhou, who had not slept well last night, fell asleep successfully.
Looking at the sleeping Shen Tingzhou, Xu Xun frowned.
The butler came over and glanced at Xu Xun, "Is this your plan?"
Xu Xun replied expressionlessly, "Don't worry about it."
After saying that, he squeezed onto the sofa and lay down together with Shen Tingzhou.
The butler looked at him again, then smiled and left.
When Shen Tingzhou woke up, what he saw was the enlarged handsome face of Xu Xun. He took up two-thirds of the sofa, and Xu Xun could only lie on his side in frustration, as he would fall off if he moved the slightest.
Although Shen Tingzhou didn't understand why he lay down next to him, he still moved back.
The person in front of him suddenly hugged him, buried his head in his neck, and rubbed it again and again.
Xu Xun's hair is naturally not as soft as a cat's fur, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable when it rubs against his neck, just a little cool.
Shen Tingzhou wasn't sure whether he was awake or still asleep, so he leaned back.
Xu Xun was sulking in Shen Tingzhou's neck, his voice becoming sticky again, "Why do you always touch me?"
Shen Tingzhou:?
Xu Xun reached out and pressed the hand on his waist that had been tingling his waist, but he felt something furry instead. He turned around suddenly and saw a fat orange cat staring at him innocently, while he was holding the cat's tail in his hand.
Looking at the cat and the man looking at each other, Shen Tingzhou reacted and started to smile.
Xu Xun accidentally fell off the sofa, and the orange cat instantly took off and jumped to the side in the blink of an eye.
Xu Xun fell down on the carpet with a gloomy look on his face.
Shen Tingzhou suppressed his laughter and asked him, "Are you okay?"
The butler's voice came from the second floor, "Don't worry, Doctor Shen, the young master has his own plans."
When Shen Tingzhou was stunned, Xu Xun pulled him down.
The uncontrolled feeling of weightlessness made Shen Tingzhou's adrenaline surge, but he was not hurt. Xu Xun supported himself on both sides of him with his hands, lowered his head and pecked him repeatedly as if doing push-ups.
Shen Tingzhou was surprised, "The housekeeper is still here."
Xu Xun said fiercely: "He will leave by himself!"
Shen Tingzhou: ...
-
A little later, Shen Tingzhou received a call from Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji's background was very noisy. He walked and stopped, and finally found a quiet place. "Doctor Shen, he called me and asked me to see him."
Shen Tingzhou vaguely heard the outpatient clinic calling, "Where are you?"
Jiang Ji paused for a few seconds, then said, "I'm in the hospital now."
Shen Tingzhou glanced at the time on his watch and asked, "Are you going to meet now?"
Jiang Ji's voice was a little distorted in the noise, "No, he asked me to meet him tomorrow."
He Yanting has memories of the period when he suffered from dementia. Shen Tingzhou cannot tell whether the current He Yanting is more authoritarian than in the past, or whether his temperament has changed after the fusion of memories.
Shen Tingzhou was silent for a moment, weighing each word carefully. "If you have thought it through, meet him and talk about it first. See what his attitude is. The premise is that you have really thought it through and will never regret it after making this decision."
Jiang Ji: "I know, thank you, Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou: "I didn't do anything. By the way, if you meet Zhou Zitan, you must call me as soon as possible."
He has complicated feelings towards Zhou Zitan. He is Xiao Zhou when it comes to breaking the law and disrupting discipline, and he is also Xiao Zhou when it comes to protecting his family and friends.
Although no one is perfect, Zhou Zitan's personality contrast is too great, and Shen Tingzhou has been trying to find a balance.
Jiang Ji: "Okay."
Shen Tingzhou comforted him and told him to go back and have a good sleep and not to hang around the hospital, as He Yanting was fine.
Even if something happens, it is not Jiang Ji's responsibility, but Xiao Zhou's...
Jiang Ji is a kind and responsible person. After this incident, his feelings towards He Yanting must be more complicated than his feelings towards Xiao Zhou.
Sometimes kindness is often a burden that delays progress.
Shen Tingzhou sighed, hoping that the two of them could resolve the matter peacefully.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Tingzhou was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when someone knocked on the door.
"It's me." Xu Xun's voice came from outside the door.
Shen Tingzhou walked over puzzled and opened the door.
Xu Xun, wearing pajamas, stood outside the door. His dark hair was still a little damp, with the ends of his hair hanging down over his handsome eyebrows. His lips were also red from the steam, which gave people an inexplicable feeling of being a feast for the eyes.
Shen Tingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and his throat rolled as if he was uncomfortable. "What's wrong?"
Xu Xun raised his head and glanced at Shen Tingzhou, then lowered his eyes and said, "I can't sleep, I want to talk to you."
Shen Tingzhou was slow to react and stepped back, "Well, come in."
Xu Xun walked into the room and Shen Tingzhou closed the door.
Turning back, he saw Xu Xun still standing there, as if he was the outsider here. Shen Tingzhou laughed and said, "Sit anywhere you like."
Xu Xun, wearing pajamas, sat casually on Shen Tingzhou's bed.
Shen Tingzhou stood there for a few seconds, then walked over and sat next to him.
The two fell into a brief silence. At this time, Shen Tingzhou's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Out of professional habit, Shen Tingzhou still answered the call.
Su Jiang's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "Doctor Shen, I want to report it!"
Shen Tingzhou was stunned and glanced at Xu Xun beside him, "What are you reporting?"
Su Qiang was furious. "He actually reported your beloved Xiao Zhou!"
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: ...
