Chapter 88 Guarantee
Pei Song's ears turned red: "How dare you say anything?"
"Do you know what the Internet says about people like you?" Su Mi leaned closer, "When you are slapped by the person you like, the first thing that comes to you is the fragrance, then the soft palm, and finally the slight stinging pain. The moment the fragrance fills your nose, your face is no longer painful, but refreshing."
Pei Song's ears turned even redder: "Stop talking nonsense."
"I bet that's what my cousin thinks," Su Mi laughed even more happily, "He must think that you hit him because you like him, and you hit Senior Zhou because you hate him."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell your cousin." Pei Song threatened.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more." Su Mi raised his hands in surrender. "By the way, your colleagues came over just now, and you were sleeping at that time. They said they would come over again later."
Sure enough, not long after, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Hao Yan poked her head in: "Manager Pei! We're here to see you!"
She was holding a thermos bucket and was followed by several colleagues.
Everyone gathered around the bed and Pei Song wanted to sit up.
"Don't move, don't move." Hao Yan hurriedly stopped him, "I made you some chicken soup, which is perfect for nourishing your body."
Su Mi took it and poured a bowl neatly: "I'll feed you."
"That..." Hao Yan stood at the end of the bed, hesitant to speak, "I'm sorry, Manager Pei, if we hadn't asked Mr. Zhou to take us down the mountain first that day..."
"How can I blame you?" Pei Song shook his head. "The situation was urgent at that time. I'm glad you can get down the mountain safely."
At this time, Shi Yanchen walked in one after another with Jin Shuning and Lin Yuwei.
When colleagues saw Shi Yanchen, they immediately moved aside awkwardly.
"Manager Pei, we heard that you woke up, so we came to see you." Jin Shuning walked to the bedside, "We just finished rehearsing the dance, and everyone else wanted to come, but we were afraid that too many people would disturb your rest."
Pei Song felt a little guilty: "Are you still practicing?"
"Of course," Jin Shuning said with a smile, "We can practice together right away when you come back."
"Manager Pei, please get well soon," Lin Yuwei said, "We can't do without the C position in the annual performance."
Pei Song hesitated for a moment: "How about...let someone else dance."
"That won't work," Lin Yuwei said with a smile, "If you dare not dance, I will post the video of your last rehearsal on the company forum."
"You dare!" Pei Song widened his eyes.
Everyone laughed, even Shi Yanchen smiled.
As he was speaking, the nurse came in to change the IV.
"Manager Pei needs to rest." said Shi Yanchen.
Everyone said goodbye tactfully, and before leaving, Hao Yan reminded him: "Get well soon!"
"I'll continue practicing when you come back." Lin Yuwei winked at Pei Song, "This C position belongs to you."
After all his colleagues left, Pei Song worriedly asked, "Will I be able to make it to the annual meeting? Everyone has been preparing for a long time."
"Don't worry," Shi Yanchen said casually, "I have asked someone to adjust the time. We will talk about it after you are fully recovered."
…
In the evening, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
"Sing!"
Pei Song was stunned. It was his mother's voice.
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Pei's mother rushed in, followed by Pei's father.
They only knew that their son had an accident at the ski resort, but they didn't know the specific reason.
Mother Pei's eyes were red, and she walked quickly to the bedside: "How could you be so careless, kid!"
Shi Yanchen immediately stood up: "Uncle, Auntie."
"Xiao Shi...ah no, Mr. Shi..." Father Pei didn't know how to address him for a moment and looked a little embarrassed.
After all, Shi Yanchen had stayed at their house for a while when he first came to China, and had witnessed many...trivial things in the Pei family.
"Uncle, just call me Xiao Shi." Shi Yanchen said gently, with a friendly and natural attitude.
"Xiao Shi," Pei's father said solemnly, "It's all thanks to you this time."
Shi Yanchen shook his head: "I didn't protect him well."
"I don't blame you," Pei's mother said, wiping her tears, "If you hadn't arrived in time..." She couldn't continue.
"Okay, as long as you're okay. There's no point in saying these things now. The important thing is that Songsong gets better soon." Father Pei patted Mother Pei's shoulder, but she dodged it without leaving a trace.
"I'm fine, Mom." Pei Song held his mother's hand, "Don't cry."
Mother Pei nodded with sobs and sighed: "You have been a worry for me since you were young. You loved to show off when you were in school, and you are still like this when you work."
"Mom..." Pei Song looked at his mother helplessly.
"Don't worry, Auntie," Shi Yanchen said softly, "I'm here, nothing will happen to him again."
Mother Pei glanced at him with a complicated look in her eyes: "Xiao Shi, thank you so much this time."
"Uncle and aunt, you don't have to be so polite." Shi Yanchen said, "It's my duty to take care of Songsong."
These words made the atmosphere in the ward subtle.
Father Pei looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and coughed lightly: "Xiao Shi, can you please talk to me for a moment?"
Shi Yanchen nodded and followed Pei's father out of the ward.
After Pei's father and Shi Yanchen left, Pei's mother sat by the bed, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself from speaking.
"Mom," Pei Song took a deep breath, looking more serious than ever before, "I have something to tell you."
"Is it about Xiao Shi?" Pei's mother asked softly.
"Yeah." Pei Song pursed his lips, "I like him, I want to be with him."
This simple sentence made Pei's mother's eyes red.
Mother Pei sighed: "I saw it when he lived in our house at that time, but I didn't expect you two could really be together." She paused, "Your company..."
"Don't worry, mom. We will handle the relationship between work and love well."
Pei's mother held her son's hand, tears rolling down her cheeks: "Mom, I just want you to be happy."
"Xiao Shi," Pei's father stood in the corridor, looking serious, "you are serious about Songsong..."
"Uncle," Shi Yanchen said frankly, "I really like Song Song. This is not a joke, nor is it a whim. I will use my whole life to prove it."
Pei's father's face turned serious: "You know what I'm worried about. SNK's position in the business world, your identity... Once your relationship is exposed, Song Song will face pressure..."
"I understand your concerns," Shi Yanchen said, "but I know Songsong's ability at work better. Every recognition he gets in the company is earned through his strength."
"You young people's affairs, your parents can only take care of you temporarily, but not forever." Father Pei seemed to be quite touched, looking at him with a complicated expression, "But Xiao Shi, if one day you let Song Song suffer injustice..."
"No." Shi Yanchen's eyes were firm, "I promise you."
Father Pei looked at him deeply, said nothing more, and turned back to the ward.
"Songsong, take good care of yourself. The company has an important meeting, so I have to go back first." Father Pei said, looking at his ex-wife, "Your mother...
"
"I'll stay and take care of Songsong." Pei's mother understood.
After Pei's father left, Pei Song said softly: "Mom, you can go back too. I will be taken care of by doctors and nurses."
"How can you not let your mother be with you at this time, kid?" Pei's mother said with concern.
"Auntie," Shi Yanchen said, "I have arranged a suite next to the hospital. You can stay there for the next few days."
"I don't feel comfortable doing this..." Pei's mother declined.
"Don't be polite, Auntie," Shi Yanchen said gently, "Just think of it as helping me take care of Songsong. I have some official business to deal with these days, and I feel relieved to have you here."
Mother Pei looked at her son, then at Shi Yanchen, and finally nodded.
