Chapter 77: Kick the brother bitch away and invite that gentle teacher to have tea (8)
The meal wasn't particularly good. Even though Li Ziyan was trying to remain calm, his red cheeks were a cause for concern. Cheng Han, however, seemed so carefree and unconcerned that he enthusiastically served food to Li Ziyan.
Li Ziyan was a soft-hearted person and would not refuse. He forced himself to eat a lot. Su Yi was frightened when he saw this and kept paying attention to his expression.
"Ah, I'm so full." Cheng Han wiped his mouth and looked at Li Ziyan. "Doctor Li, how is it? Is it delicious?"
"...It's delicious. Thank you for your hospitality." Li Ziyan felt a dull pain in his stomach, his eyebrows drooped, and he could hardly keep the smile on his face.
"That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't like it!" Cheng Han smiled, the joy in her tone almost overflowing, but her eyes were not so kind in Li Ziyan's eyes. "Aze, you shouldn't have work this afternoon, right? Let's go out together!"
"No, I have something else to do." Gu Chengze frowned slightly and rejected Cheng Han's invitation. "Su Yi finally has a day off. You two can enjoy it slowly."
"..." Cheng Han opened his mouth slightly, as if he didn't expect to be rejected, but the other party's attitude was clear, and there was no room for compromise. "Got it."
Li Ziyan also stood up and nodded to the two of them. Although Su Yi wanted to show some concern for Li Ziyan, his fiancée was right next to him, and the two of them were of different genders after all, so they still had to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Walking out of the restaurant, Gu Chengze followed Li Ziyan and wanted to ask about Li Ziyan's condition, but he found that the person next to him had gone limp and fell into his arms with a pale face.
"Zi Yan?!" Gu Chengze picked up Li Zi Yan and without delay, boarded the nearest aircraft to fly to the affiliated hospital near the military academy. The person in his arms was sweating profusely and his lips were starting to turn pale.
The aircraft was very fast and it took almost no time to send the two to the hospital. Gu Chengze placed Li Ziyan in the repair chamber, waiting for the doctor to examine him.
"The patient is fine now. He suffered stomach cramps from eating something too spicy," the doctor said with a serious expression, not quite relaxed. "This child isn't very strong, and as a guide, he's very sensitive. As his partner, you should be more careful. How could you let him eat something so irritating?"
"...Sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Gu Chengze didn't refute the doctor's definition of their relationship. His eyes were filled with worry. "Excuse me, can I go in and see him now?"
"Well, I just gave him a simple treatment in the repair chamber. There's nothing serious."
"Thank you, doctor."
The doctor waved his hand, leaving space for the "young couple", and left tactfully.
The ward was very quiet. Li Ziyan was lying in the recovery room, frowning slightly. His face was not as ugly as before, but still very pale.
Accustomed to Li Ziyan's sunny face, Gu Chengze felt a little distressed. He reached out and touched Li Ziyan's cheek, his voice much softer, "Why didn't you tell me you were feeling uncomfortable? Does it still hurt?"
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, just take a rest."
Gu Chengze frowned. "You can be less approachable sometimes. What happened today was Cheng Han's fault. I'm sorry."
"It's really okay. It's not anyone's fault, and you don't need to apologize. I was just too weak. I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble."
Because of the severe pain, the corners of Li Ziyan's eyes were a little red. He lay there looking pitiful, which made people feel distressed.
The more understanding and concessions Li Ziyan made, the deeper Gu Chengze's love for Li Ziyan and his dissatisfaction with Cheng Han grew. In the past, Cheng Han had a straightforward personality, and Gu Chengze didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now that Cheng Han's true nature had hurt others, Gu Chengze's eyes darkened, unwilling to dwell on it.
"I've already spoken to Doctor Wang at school. Don't worry, just get some rest." Gu Chengze sat next to Li Ziyan and handed the restorative nutrient solution to Li Ziyan's mouth. "Drink a little of the nutrient solution. Your stomach needs to be repaired."
"Well, thank you, Teacher Gu." Li Ziyan forced a smile and nodded, drinking the slightly bitter nutrient solution into his mouth. The word "unpalatable" was almost flooding his mind.
The nutrient solution and the repair chamber both contain sleep-inducing ingredients. Even though Li Ziyan tried hard to stay awake, he slowly fell asleep. Gu Chengze reached out and gathered the hair that was scattered on Li Ziyan's face. His eyes softened, with a hint of heartache. He just sat there and watched quietly.
After all this trouble, by the time Li Ziyan woke up and was able to leave the hospital, it was almost dark.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Gu Chengze would worry and wanted to send him home, Li Ziyan booked the aircraft in advance, said goodbye to Gu Chengze and left alone.
This is not the first time that Gu Chengze has been "abandoned" by Li Ziyan. Last time he only felt that Li Ziyan was well-behaved, but now he only feels heartbroken.
Gu Chengze felt a little depressed when he recalled the obscure look and expression on the guide's face when he inadvertently mentioned his future destination when they first met.
Too well-behaved, so well-behaved that she pretended to be strong, which only made people feel distressed. Gu Chengze took a deep breath, leaned against the wall, pushed his glasses on his face, and sorted out his emotions that were not often overflowing.
When Li Ziyan returned home, the first thing he did was to turn on his communicator. Just now when he was in the hospital, the communicator had been vibrating next to his hand. He knew who was calling without thinking. If he didn't answer it now, he was afraid that things would not end well.
Almost the moment the communicator was dialed, the person on the other end answered the call and turned on the video system.
"Dad, father, big brother..." Li Ziyan put his hands behind his back, pursed his lips slightly, and then smiled. Anyone could see the flattery and guilt in that smile.
The three men on the light screen had the same expression, frowning, with questioning and worried eyes.
"Why haven't you answered the phone yet?"
"Something happened at school just now, so it's not very convenient..." Li Ziyan lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the few people. He tapped his fingers behind his back, very nervous.
His perfunctory answer naturally did not satisfy those people. The handsome man in the lead spoke up with a soft voice but a stern tone.
"Yanyan, tell me the truth, what happened just now? If you don't obey, we will come find you tomorrow and take you home."
"..." Li Ziyan raised his head suddenly, then lowered it again. After hesitating for a while, he slowly spoke, "I, I like someone. I was with him just now..."
Unfortunately, this sentence did not calm the people on the opposite side, but only brought greater shock.
