Chapter 87 Secretly Happy
The business jet had already been ready for takeoff at the temporary apron.
Su Mi packed her luggage quickly and ran to make sure that the blankets and thermal water in the cabin were ready.
"Songsong," he said as he came back, "the plane might be a little bumpy later, so I asked them to prepare a few more blankets."
Pei Song smiled as he watched him busying around: "You are more nervous than your cousin."
"Of course," Su Mi said as a matter of course, "I am your best friend."
The pilot came over and said, "The wind speed has dropped to a safe level. We can take off immediately."
"Be sure to take good care of yourself," Dr. Li advised.
Pei Song nodded: "Doctor Li, I will come to see you when I recover."
"Okay, Xiao Miao and I will be waiting for you."
"Doctor Li, could you help me install the monitor?" Shi Yanchen said, "I'm afraid there will be some unexpected situation on the way."
Doctor Li nodded: "Of course."
He skillfully put the monitor on Pei Song and carefully adjusted the parameters. "If there is any abnormality, an alarm will be immediately sounded here."
When boarding the plane, Su Mi naturally took the blanket from Shi Yanchen's hand: "Cousin, you just hold the person, I'll do these."
Shi Yanchen and Su Mi helped Pei Song board the plane together.
The temperature in the cabin was suitable. Shi Yanchen helped Pei Song fasten his seat belt and carefully adjusted the angle of the seat.
Shi Yanchen sat beside him, staring intently at the numbers jumping on the monitor.
"You won't get better faster if you stare at me like this." Pei Song said helplessly.
Shi Yanchen then retracted his gaze: "You scared me to death."
"I'm sorry." Pei Song said softly.
Shi Yanchen held his hand and said, "Don't do this again."
Pei Song nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "How is your project in City B going?"
"Is the project important or are you important?" Shi Yanchen asked back.
Pei Song said softly: "Your project this time is very important, don't delay it for me."
"When I heard the news that you were in trouble, I wished I could grow wings and fly over here." Shi Yanchen said, holding his hand tightly.
Pei Song smiled and shook his hand back.
"As for Yinhe Real Estate..." Shi Yanchen said, "I have asked Jin Shuning to deal with it. This time, we will definitely root them out completely."
Pei Song hummed softly, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.
"If you're tired, take a nap." Shi Yanchen lowered the backrest of the chair, "I'll call you when we get there."
Pei Song responded drowsily and soon fell asleep.
Shi Yanchen looked at his peaceful sleeping face and recalled the scene when he found him on the mountain. He still felt a little scared.
He took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant: "Go check the rescue team's Malinois named MAX and see who applied to adopt him."
The assistant quickly responded: "OK, Mr. Shi."
Shi Yanchen put away his phone and gently held Pei Song's hand.
The plane circled over the city, and the sunlight shone through the window onto Pei Song's face.
He frowned slightly in his sleep and subconsciously leaned towards Shi Yanchen.
Shi Yanchen immediately helped him adjust his posture so that he could lean more comfortably.
"Ten minutes until landing." The captain's voice came over the radio.
Shi Yanchen raised his hand and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Pei Song's brows: "We'll be there soon."
The hospital has arranged everything.
In the VIP ward, the doctor carefully checked Pei Song's various indicators.
"You need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation," the attending doctor said. "The sequelae of hypothermia are quite complicated. We need to do a series of detailed examinations."
Shi Yanchen nodded: "Thank you for your help."
"But overall, he recovered well," the doctor continued, "thanks to the doctor's timely treatment."
Pei Song was lying on the hospital bed, feeling a little drowsy due to the antibiotics.
Su Mi looked at the IV bottle and said, "It's still half full. You should get some sleep first."
Shi Yanchen sat beside the bed, his eyes moving back and forth between the data from the monitor and the drip.
At this time, the assistant pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Shi."
Shi Yanchen stood up and walked out the door: "Did you find out?"
"Yes," the assistant said, "the person who applied to adopt MAX is a retired soldier. Because he and the trainer were comrades in arms, he will be given priority."
Shi Yanchen frowned slightly: "Go contact them."
"I've already contacted him," the assistant said. "He said MAX was a birthday present for his son and he didn't want to give it up."
Shi Yanchen was silent for a while: "I will prepare some compensation personally, you go and talk to the other party."
"This..." the assistant hesitated, "Will the other party feel that we are too strong?"
"Let's find out the situation first," Shi Yanchen said. "If they really need it, we can think of other ways."
The assistant nodded: "I understand."
When I returned to the ward, Pei Song had already fallen asleep.
Shi Yanchen tiptoed to the bedside and tucked the quilt for him.
…
When Pei Song woke up, only Shi Yanchen was in the ward.
The sunlight slipped in through the gap in the curtains and fell on his eyelashes.
He blinked and saw Shi Yanchen staring intently at the data from the monitor.
"Are you thirsty?" Shi Yanchen noticed that he was awake and immediately came over.
Pei Song nodded gently, but before he could react, Shi Yanchen had already sat down beside the bed, supporting his back with one hand and holding a cup of warm water with the other.
"I can do it myself..." Pei Song reached out to take it.
"Don't be so stubborn." Shi Yanchen said softly, "You're not well yet. I'll give you some water so you don't spill it."
The warm cup of water was placed against his lips, and Shi Yanchen's fingers accidentally brushed the corner of his lips.
Pei Song held his breath unconsciously, and his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
The numbers on the monitor started jumping.
"Why is your heart beating so fast suddenly?" Shi Yanchen said with a smile in his eyes.
Pei Song turned his face away: "You ask even though you know the answer..."
Shi Yanchen moved closer: "Because of me"
The warm breath brushed past his ears, and Pei Song felt the tips of his ears burning.
At this moment, a light cough was heard at the door.
"Um...can I come in?" Su Mi stood at the door with a bowl of porridge, looking as if she was smiling.
Pei Song quickly shrank back, but Shi Yanchen stood up slowly and said, "Come in."
After Shi Yanchen left, Su Mi immediately came to the bedside, eyes sparkling: "Ouch, did I disturb you just now?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Pei Song coughed lightly.
"Songsong, let me tell you," Su Mi lowered her voice, "your experience can be written into a novel. The introduction is: after I returned from disappearance, my boss and my supervisor fought over me. One is my new love, and the other is my old love. How should I choose?"
Pei Song looked at him helplessly: "Can you be more serious?"
"The two slaps you gave me that day were really..." Su Mi blinked, "Although you were weak at the time and I don't know how much it hurt, but I saw my cousin pouted his cheek, he must have been secretly happy."
