Neither the father nor the daughter mentioned the previous unpleasantness. After chatting for a few minutes, Ye's father said he would send a plane to pick her up.
And that's how Yang Tao came in and saw what happened.
"It's nothing, why are you all looking at me?" Ye Qingyan smiled.
No one called her out on it; they looked away and went about their business.
Ji Yuzhi squeezed Zhen Tian's palm; after eating, she began to feel drowsy again.
After an injury, the body's nutrients will all rush to soothe the wound, so the body will often feel tired.
Zhen Tian is just like that.
Ji Yuzhi held her hand and played with it, remaining silent for a long time.
This actually made Zhen Tian, who was originally drowsy, unable to fall asleep.
"What's wrong?" she asked, her eyes wide.
The onlookers all perked up their ears.
“I’ve contacted your uncle and Aunt Lu, and everyone at home knows you’re alright.” He waited a while before speaking, “Once your family is ready, they’ll come to pick you up in the next day or two. After your three-day observation period, we’ll take you back to H City.”
"The hospital over there is better than this one, and it will be more convenient for you to recuperate."
Zhen Tian tasted it and readily accepted it.
"I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning," Ji Yuzhi said after hesitating for a long time.
"Leave? Where to?"
"Back to S City. There's a lot of follow-up work to be done after the earthquake, including the fact that the amplitude was quite large and it has caused international controversy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs someone to step in. Having experienced this earthquake, I am the best candidate."
"I have to go back to take charge of the work."
Ji Yuzhi knew that Zhen Tian needed him most at this moment, but he...
"Okay, you can go back now. Focus on your work and don't worry about me."
Zhen Tian didn't say a word, but instead held his hand tightly: "When we get home, my parents, my brother, and my uncles will all be there. I will take good care of myself."
"I……"
Ji Yuzhi wanted to apologize again.
Zhen Tian stopped him: "It's okay, I understand. Don't always apologize, that's not like you."
"In my heart, Ji Yuzhi is someone I firmly believe will never need to apologize, and whatever he does is the right decision. So please don't apologize."
“Sweetie…” Ji Yuzhi’s heart clenched.
"It would be nice if you came home to see me during your vacation," Zhen Tian said.
Ji Yuzhi nodded in agreement.
Ye Qingyan, on the other hand, frowned deeply.
Night fell quickly.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao fell asleep early.
Zhen Tian also fell asleep.
Ji Yuzhi tapped on the table in front of Huo Qingming: "Let's go outside and talk."
Huo Qingming got up and followed him out of the ward.
"Going out" means going to a place a little further away in the corridor, where you can see what's happening at the door but not so much that the sound can get into the ward.
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, so I'll leave things here to you." Unlike last time, Ji Yuzhi spoke first this time.
"Hmm." Huo Qingming refused without being coy.
"I understand what you mean." Ji Yuzhi leaned against the wall with one hand in his pocket, his gaze fixed on the door of the ward, and said in a calm tone, "I can't agree to that."
"Using emotions as bargaining chips is the most despicable thing. If you want to gain the trust of Ye Qingyan's friends, you have to do it yourself and let them accept you gradually, instead of taking my shortcut."
"It's unfair to Ye Qingyan."
Huo Qingming thought for a moment: "Aren't you afraid that I'll bully Zhen Tian after you leave?"
“You wouldn’t dare.” Ji Yuzhi looked up at him. “Besides, Ye Qingyan wouldn’t let you do that. You don’t want her to be caught in the middle between her friends and her boyfriend, do you?”
"Or do you want to see who she would choose between her friend and her boyfriend?"
“If you want to make Ye Qingyan sad, then go ahead and try.” Ji Yuzhi patted his shoulder. “But I advise you to let go of those thoughts. Being possessive isn’t a bad thing, but if you go too far, you’ll lose more than you gain.”
After saying that, Ji Yuzhi returned to his ward.
Huo Qingming was left standing there, looking displeased.
This man is a bit too scary.
His dark thoughts were easily seen through, and he stood in the corridor for a long time before going in.
Ye Qingyan rubbed her eyes and got up: "Where did you go?"
"It's nothing, just go for a walk." Huo Qingming walked to her bedside and patted her head: "Go to sleep."
"Um."
Ye Qingyan drifted off to sleep again.
Because Yang Tao slept in the same bed as her, Huo Qingming couldn't stay by the bedside for too long.
He returned to the sofa and didn't sleep a wink all night.
The next morning, Ji Yuzhi removed the gauze from his hand. When treating the wound, the scabs had been picked open before treatment, and now the picked flesh had scabbed over again.
The helicopter sent from above was almost here, so Ji Yuzhi had no choice but to wake the sleeping Zhen Tian: "Tian Tian..."
"Um?"
Zhen Tian opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw him, she grinned foolishly: "Zhizhi..."
"I'm leaving." He was still wearing the same dress pants and shirt as that day, with his tie crumpled and tied at the collar.
His clothes and pants were badly worn. If he hadn't changed into a hospital gown and washed them earlier, he wouldn't even have a decent set of clothes to wear now.
But no matter what clothes he wears, Ji Yuzhi always maintains that calm and composed demeanor.
Her appearance is like a jade healing technique, and her demeanor is as magnanimous as jade.
"Gone?" Zhen Tian gradually regained consciousness and struggled to sit up.
Ji Yuzhi had no choice but to shake the headboard up for her.
Zhen Tian suppressed her reluctance and hugged him.
Ji Yuzhi bent down and embraced the girl who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
"Take care of yourself and eat well," Zhen Tian whispered in his ear.
I don't know when, but the roles of those giving instructions have been reversed.
In the past, Ji Yuzhi was always the one who worried about Zhen Tian; now it's Zhen Tian's turn to worry about him.
"good."
"I'll call you when I get home. If you're busy, don't answer. Just call me when you're free." Zhen Tian let go of his hand, her gaze both gentle and firm.
"good."
Ji Yuzhi showed that he was much more reluctant to part with her this time than Zhen Tian did.
He kissed her lips passionately.
Zhen Tian tilted her head back and responded to the kiss.
Their lips parted slowly, and Ji Yuzhi opened his eyes, his eyes almost overflowing with reluctance.
"Let's go," Zhen Tian said with a smile as she saw him off.
The helicopter landed on the hospital's rooftop, and the loud whooshing sound could be clearly heard even in the wards.
"I'm leaving." Ji Yuzhi gave her another light peck on the lips.
Then, he strode away.
Zhen Tian's smile faded little by little, and the noise from the helicopter gradually faded away.
This time he's really gone.
Zhen Tian sat on the bed, no longer sleepy. She sat there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao had already woken up, and the two walked gracefully to Zhen Tian.
What are you thinking about?
Zhen Tian was awakened by Ye Qingyan's voice and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Ye Qingyan took a deep breath, but still couldn't help complaining about Ji Yuzhi's ruthlessness.
Seeing Zhen Tian's expressionless face, she asked, "Don't you feel disappointed or sad? At a time like this, Brother Ji can't be by your side."
