Guan Shiyan stayed in the ward until 7 p.m. He knew very well that Shi Youxi would never remember to eat, so he used Cheng Ran to threaten him.
After supervising Shi Youxi to finish his meal and medicine, Guan Shiyan peeled four apples and three pears before leaving the ward.
The reason, as Shi Youxi thought, was that he was quite skilled at peeling fruit, so she prepared a few in case her sister woke up and had something to eat.
The only son of the Guan Yi International Hospital huddled on the sofa, grumbling under his breath, but that didn't stop him from diligently peeling fruit. He felt that he had given almost every first time in his life to Shi Youxi. "I've never even peeled fruit for my mother, and you got to do it so easily, tsk... Is there anyone in this world who treats you better than me!" Guan Shiyan wrapped the fruit in plastic and put it in the refrigerator. "I'm leaving. I'm going to find someone for you. If your aunt doesn't eat this fruit, you have to finish it. Your brother's love must go into your stomach!"
"..."
Shi Youxi listened to him in one ear and out the other, letting him ramble on and on. The person who said he was leaving lingered for more than half an hour before finally leaving.
Finally, only he and his sister were left in the ward.
“My sister thinks he’s sick too, and so do I… He always pretends to be a doctor to control me. We’ll report him when he gets into medical school.”
"..."
The last rays of the setting sun shone in, illuminating the woman's fair skin. Shi Youxi stared at her long eyelashes, then slowly lay down on the hospital bed.
He didn't bury his face in the woman's chest as usual, but only dared to press his hand against hers.
"The doctor said that my sister's blood clot is small and will disappear quickly, so my sister should wake up soon..." Shi Youxi smelled the woman's palm, and pressed his lips to her pulse, which vibrated.
In fact, when Shi Youxi found the unconscious woman yesterday, his mind went blank. He mechanically held her but didn't know what to do. It was Li Buhuo, who found Cheng Ran, who urged him to take her to the hospital.
Throughout the journey, Shi Youxi's hand trembled as he held the woman's. He was filled with fear and dread, afraid that his sister would never wake up again, and afraid that even if she did, she would no longer be his sister.
He, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, prayed countless times in his heart while sitting in the waiting room.
The mechanical and sluggish consciousness persisted until Guan Shiyan uttered the words, "Your sister."
At that time, Shi Youxi realized that her sister was still alive, because the memories of the people around her had not been erased as before.
He was very fortunate, extremely fortunate.
But they were still filled with fear.
Only then did Shi Youxi realize that he seemed unable to hold onto his sister. He had always thought he could hold her firmly, but in the end, he found that he was the one being held back by the string. As soon as his sister let go, the kite would break, and Shi Youxi would break too. He fell to the ground in ruins along with the kite that was swept away by the wind.
Shi Youxi didn't care what kind of broken things he became, but he was afraid that his sister would let go.
no…
How can I keep my sister by my side forever?
Shi Youxi opened his mouth and began to gnaw at the pulse on the woman's wrist.
He wished they could be connected, blood-related, body-related, tightly intertwined, inseparable.
There were a few knocks on the ward door behind him, and footsteps sounded behind Shi Youxi, but he continued to lick the soft flesh slowly and leisurely. After a few seconds, he straightened up and carefully put the woman's hand under the blanket.
The young man looked at Li Buhuo, who was standing there silently staring at him. The two of them did not say a word, but closed the ward door and went to the small living room outside.
"How about it?"
Looking at the young man before him, and recalling his actions just now, Li Bu Huo stammered, "You... have you been here since yesterday?"
Shi Youxi took a sip of water, looked up at him, and thought, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Li Bu Huo coughed and changed the subject: "We haven't found anyone yet. This group knows the surveillance layout of Qinheyu very well. Apart from a few people being captured in the parking lot, we haven't found anyone else. The cleaner was only found to have been dragged into a car, and the car was found in the suburbs, but the person is gone. It's safe to say he's gone."
Li Bu Huo said a few words briefly, but still asked with doubt, "Since you suspect the Cheng family, why do you believe me?"
Shi Youxi said calmly, "Because you are Cheng Ran's person."
Li Bu Huo's body tensed instantly, and he narrowed his eyes: "You investigated me?" Then he smiled, "That's right, if you didn't know my identity, I would probably be a living dead like Andrei by now."
Shi Youxi twirled the lip balm in her hand, showing no sign of panic at being exposed. "Yes... the dosage of that medicine was doubled," Shi Youxi looked at Li Buhuo with a harmless smile on her lips, "You were supposed to get a share too."
"..."
Li Bu Huo took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and looked at the young man with a complicated expression. "I will continue to keep an eye on the Cheng family. Have you found your mother?"
"What does it matter?" Shi Youxi raised his eyebrows, his face showing vigilance and hidden ruthlessness.
Although they are now partners, Li Buhuo is certain that he will still be eliminated if Shi Youxi does anything that displeases him.
But Li Bu Huo wasn't afraid. He had seen many people with a crazy streak. This young man wasn't anything special. On the contrary, if he were too normal, he wouldn't have survived until now.
“The Cheng family may be a hidden danger, but the biggest threat is still your Shi family. Keeping a close eye on your mother will eliminate many concerns.”
"I don't know what Young Master Shi's purpose is, but my purpose is to make Cheng Ran the acting chairman."
"That won't happen."
Shi Youxi coldly uttered these words.
There was no need to say too much. Li Bu Huo put down the tonics he had brought. He wanted to take a look at Cheng Ran, but the boy in front of him was like a ferocious beast guarding a castle, ready to bite anyone who got close.
Li Bu Huo felt awkward, but he didn't argue with a little kid and left cleanly and decisively.
Li Bu Huo received a message from Su Tian as soon as he stepped out, asking him to meet her. Li Bu Huo had many things he hadn't told Shi You Xi. First, it wasn't necessary; Shi You Xi held some power in the Shi family, but Shi Yan was still the one in charge. Second, he had already discerned Shi You Xi's feelings for Cheng Ran.
Good feelings are a good thing, but this feeling seems to have changed. It's too dangerous for someone like that to stay by Cheng Ran's side, so Li Bu Huo decided to keep Cheng Ran away from Shi You Xi after she woke up.
…
“Madam’s whereabouts have been in the city. We’re always a step too late. It’s like she knows where Mr. will go to look for her,” Shi Si said to Shi Youxi during a break. “Mr. has locked down the capital. No one can take Madam out of the capital. As it stands, apart from someone helping Madam escape, Madam is very likely conscious now, and… she should know about Cheng Mo’s whereabouts.”
Shi Youxi looked at the lights outside the window and gave a deep "hmm".
Shi Si hesitated for a moment before asking him, "Has Madam come to see you?"
The boy was silent for a few seconds, then said, "No."
Shi Si let out a breath. "If Madam is conscious, she will definitely come to find you. Don't act on your own. Keep an eye on her and send me messages. That way, the master won't blame you."
"……knew."
Shi Youxi hung up the phone, and a message popped up on his phone from an unknown sender.
Are you satisfied with the reunion gift?
"..."
Shi Youxi stood in the unlit living room. He opened the ward door, where a warm light was dimly lit, and then locked the ward.
"No one is allowed in."
"It's young master."
Shi Youxi left the ward area and walked to the opposite side. Guan Yi's inpatient department had large floors with recreational areas.
Shi Youxi pushed open the door and entered the rooftop garden, which faced Cheng Ran's ward. Looking at the spacious and quiet garden, he slowly said, "Come out."
The next second, a sound came from behind. The person, with their back to the light, approached step by step, "Xiao Xi..."
Shi Youxi paused as he drew his long dagger, staring intently at the figure in front of him.
"Mother?"
