4-45: Extreme stretching
It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so Huaiyan will need to stay in the hospital for at least ten days to half a month.
During this time, it seemed that Huaiyi had reached some kind of consensus with Jin Xiuchen.
Huaiyi no longer disliked Jin Xiuchen, and the two companies began to cooperate.
When Huai's parents found out about their relationship, it was Huai Yi who acted as the mediator.
“So the Huai couple have agreed,” 073 sighed. “It wasn’t easy. Luckily, you’re not an only child.”
Such a large family business, if it really is an only child.
Huai's parents probably couldn't accept it either, since the business and company needed someone to inherit it, and it was impossible for there to be no successor.
“I originally thought this hurdle would be very difficult,” Huai Yan said softly. “If they can’t accept it, then there’s no possibility between me and Jin Xiuchen.”
Born into high society, most people believe that marriage should be between equals.
Aside from marriages between people of similar social standing, the vast majority were arranged marriages.
Arranged marriages generally concern the future of two families, and although interests are involved, they are the most common practice.
Huai Yan was unaware of the current situation, wondering whether his relationship with Jin Xiuchen was a love match or a business marriage.
"But why is it that these past few days, when Jin Xiuchen comes over," 073 suddenly asked, "I've always felt like he's acting suspiciously?"
Huai Yan was taken aback, and said helplessly, "My brother said that my injury has not healed yet, so he won't let Jin Xiuchen come over."
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the two understood each other perfectly.
So these past two days, Jin Xiuchen has been taking extra care of Huaiyan's injuries, and he has to come over late at night when it's quiet and the moon is out.
Huai Yan looked out the window as the sun began to set.
Jin Xiuchen usually arrives around this time and stays until morning before leaving.
Every time, the man would buy breakfast early in the morning and then leave the hospital as quickly as possible.
Because Huaiyi would come over during the day and stay for the whole day.
Thinking this, Huaiyan subconsciously glanced at her phone.
The next second, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
The sound consists of three long and seven short notes.
"Go in—" Huai Yan's lips unconsciously curled up.
Jin Xiuchen pushed open the door and entered, carrying a lot of food in his hands.
Since their relationship was established and the secret was revealed, the man had not appeared in front of Huaiyan using the identity of the Ghost King for a long time.
Although Huaiyan found it exciting at that time, she also felt a little nostalgic.
But he still prefers open and aboveboard relationships, especially those where he can see the person in person.
“Baby, I asked the family chef to make some food,” Jin Xiuchen carried the food to the bedside table, “There’s some fruit you like.”
Huai Yan's eyes lit up.
His gaze was fixed on Jin Xiuchen's hands as he waited for the man to open the food box.
“My brother just left,” Huaiyan asked, as if remembering something. “You didn’t see him when you came, did you?”
Jin Xiuchen shook his head, fed the boy a piece of fruit, and smiled: "No, I'm very cautious."
Only after hearing Jin Xiuchen's personal assurance did Huaiyan finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He leaned against the man's chest, lowered his head, and took a bite of the strawberry the man offered him.
However, halfway through the meal, heavy footsteps echoed outside the quiet hospital corridor.
The alarm bells rang instantly for Huaiyan.
When Huaiyi travels, he is always accompanied by five or six bodyguards.
Huaiyan had heard the sound of those footsteps and the procession countless times.
They must have just gotten off the elevator and are walking this way.
Huaiyan was so startled that she almost spat out a mouthful of strawberry.
Why did Huaiyi turn back?!
Was Jin Xiuchen discovered when he came over?
Huai Yan lost her composure and then remembered to push Jin Xiuchen.
He said urgently, stammering, "Quick, my brother's here, go hide in the bathroom for a bit!"
I doubt Huaiyi will stay for long.
Huaiyi had spent almost the entire day here, and now that he's turned back, he probably forgot something.
Huaiyan comforted herself with this thought, while pushing Jin Xiuchen and saying anxiously, "Go quickly!"
Jin Xiuchen paused in his movements.
He was feeding the boy fruit when he heard this, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile for no apparent reason.
“Okay,” Jin Xiuchen conceded, “then I’m leaving.”
Under Huai Yan's eager gaze, the man finally hid in the toilet.
A few seconds later, the door to the ward was pushed open as expected.
"Brother?" Huaiyan's eyes widened, and he asked in confusion, "Why are you back?"
Huai Yi's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew nothing at all.
"It's nothing," Huaiyi said calmly, having his secretary put down his laptop. "I've almost finished my work for today, and I just wanted to spend some time with you at the hospital."
The boy's eyes widened as he explained, "No need, bro. Hospital beds... are definitely not as comfortable as home."
Before Huaiyi could answer.
"Besides, I worked so hard today," the boy pressed on, "sleeping here would really be a bit of an inconvenience for you..."
However, Huaiyi seemed not to understand the unspoken meaning in the boy's words.
"It's no trouble at all," Huai Yi said casually, sitting back down on the sofa. "I'm just keeping you company at the hospital. Aren't you happy to have me?"
How could Huai Yan dare to utter a single word of dissent?
"Of course you're welcome!" Huai Yan looked up and smiled without a trace of gloom.
He was just about to say something to ease the tension, or find a way to get Huaiyi out of the way so that the man in the bathroom could slip away.
Huai Yi suddenly asked out of the blue, "Where did the things on the table come from?"
"Huh?" Huaiyan was a little confused.
He quickly realized what Huaiyi was talking about.
Those were the fruits and dinner that Jin Xiuchen brought when he came over.
...It's all over.
In his haste, he completely forgot to cover it up.
"This is the takeout I just had delivered," the boy said hurriedly. "I suddenly feel like eating some fruit."
Huaiyi didn't know whether he believed it or not.
After Huaiyan finished speaking, he simply hummed in response, his expression shifting unpredictably.
Huaiyan sighed inwardly.
This was simply to avoid exposing him; how could Huaiyi not guess who sent these things?
But not pointing it out is one thing, witnessing it firsthand is another.
Huai Yan sighed and sat back down on the bed, watching Huai Yi looking like he was about to start his office there.
He mentally lit a candle for Jin Xiuchen, knowing that if they were discovered, the fire would definitely be directed at the man.
Huaiyan's mind was racing as she was devising a plan.
The result was the next second.
He then heard a clicking sound from the bathroom.
The pure white door opened automatically.
Huai Yi gave a "I knew it" look and turned his head to signal his assistant to come forward and check.
Huaiyan's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.
Jin Xiuchen's carefully cultivated good impression on Huai Yi was ruined at this moment.
Huaiyan sighed for a moment, repeatedly organizing her thoughts on how to explain herself.
"President."
The assistant came out of the restroom very quickly.
He stood respectfully before Huai Yi and reported truthfully, "In the restroom—"
"Brother, actually I—"
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
However, Huaiyan quickly stopped talking.
Because he heard the second half of his assistant's sentence and felt the cold touch on his thigh.
Huaiyan: "..."
Huaiyi and his assistant both turned their attention to the boy because of his voice.
The assistant dutifully finished his last sentence: "...Nobody's here."
Huaiyan immediately shut her mouth.
He somewhat regretted his haste, mainly because he was afraid of being exposed.
"What's wrong?" Huaiyi asked calmly. "Do you need to go to the restroom?"
Huaiyan shivered as she felt the icy hands on her thighs.
He quickly replied, "...No, I just suddenly felt like eating something else."
Huai Yi's expression softened slightly.
He gestured for his assistant to come forward.
"What do you want to eat?" Huaiyi asked, seemingly having dispelled his doubts.
"I'm really craving the fish from Shuiyunxuan," Huaiyan said, forcing herself to continue, "and their signature seafood as well."
This tactic was somewhat effective against Huaiyi.
It seems that anything her younger brother wants to eat can be considered the most important thing.
“When you’re sick, you should eat something good,” Huaiyi instructed his assistant to order some things from Shuiyunxuan, while saying to Huaiyan, “What else do you want to eat? I’ll have Xiao Chen order it too.”
However, at this moment, Huaiyan was covered in sweat and her whole body was frozen.
He could no longer think, and couldn't even respond to Huaiyi's words.
Because the hand on his thigh was slowly reaching towards his waist.
No need to guess, Jin Xiuchen has definitely gone into hiding again.
But invisibility is also the best solution.
After all, Huaiyi suddenly launched a counterattack, and there was no way to avoid it. The only option was to remain invisible.
"We'll be discovered...!" Huaiyan whispered a warning to the man. "Stop!"
But how could the other party let him have his way?
The man's large hands became even more rampant.
That audacious hand slipped inside the hem of the boy's oversized hospital gown.
Huai Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.
But he could only maintain this position, leaning against the headboard without moving, letting the man do as he pleased.
After seeing that there were no more people in the ward, Huaiyi began to do his own thing.
He kept his head down, typing on the computer, seemingly with no intention of leaving.
Huai Yan was even more terrified.
Huaiyi's posture clearly indicated that he was really going to stay here overnight, even bringing his office supplies.
This was clearly premeditated.
If Huaiyan had known that Jin Xiuchen would come back today, she would never have let him come.
"hiss……"
While pondering, Jin Xiuchen's actions became even bolder.
He silenced the boy's lips with a passionate and intense kiss.
Huaiyan's breath was gradually stolen away, and her body leaned limply against the man.
To outsiders, this action appeared as if the boy was about to collapse, indicating a worsening of his condition.
"Yan Yan?!"
As soon as Huaiyi realized something was wrong, he immediately stood up and rushed to the bedside.
And so, Huaiyan went from one embrace to another.
He felt annoyed by the man's excitement, yet fearful that Huaiyi would discover something.
They made dating look like they were having an affair, especially right under their own brother's nose.
...That's insane.
