I still didn’t sleep very well. I wasn’t as depressed as before, but I wasn’t relaxed either. As a result, Yingnian woke up very early, took out his mobile phone and started checking WeChat.
Guan Ze sent him a WeChat message shortly after he entered the bathroom, saying that Chen Mao asked him to leave, so he was now outside the KV, asking Ying Nian if he needed to find an excuse to go back. However, Ying Nian was busy inducing vomiting at that time, so he did not respond to him.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Guan Ze sent a few more messages, the last one being to call him if there was anything.
Ying Nian replied to him: It's okay.
Guan Ze hadn't woken up yet, so instead of replying to him, Ying Nian exited WeChat and started watching the video.
When Yao Xiuyuan came out of the nursing room after washing up, he saw that he had woken up and asked him, "When did you wake up?"
Ying Nian was afraid that he would worry, so he deliberately delayed the time, "7 o'clock."
It wasn't too early, so Yao Xiuyuan didn't mind. He just asked him, "Do you want to be discharged now or at noon?"
"Can I be discharged from the hospital now?" Ying Nian asked him back, "If possible, I want to be discharged now."
Yao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Of course, let's do it now. I'll call Zhang Peng."
He called Zhang Peng, who gave him some reminders and let him go.
Ying Nian originally wanted to take a taxi back, but Yao Xiuyuan sent him home without hesitation. Ying Nian had no choice but to thank him again and apologized, "I'm sorry for affecting your work."
Yao Xiuyuan looked at him helplessly, "Don't you think you are a little too polite?"
Ying Nian was stunned for a moment.
Yao Xiuyuan put one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the back of his chair, "How come we are roommates now? Roommates are also a kind of friends. It's normal for friends to help each other out. You keep saying thank you on the left and sorry on the right. Aren't you tired?"
Ying Nian felt that this was basic etiquette. Yao Xiuyuan helped him, so he should thank him. He delayed Yao Xiuyuan's work, so Ying Nian apologized. This was not politeness, but basic courtesy. However, he lowered his eyes silently, which was indeed politeness, because he really did not regard Yao Xiuyuan as a friend.
"Do you think we are friends?" he whispered, slowly raising his eyes to look at Yao Xiuyuan.
Yao Xiuyuan looked at him in shock, "Isn't it?"
Now he finally understood why Ying Nian had always been so polite to him, "We both live together, so we should be friends."
"But that was just you and Chu Cheng helping me out of a sense of righteousness."
"So what do you think our relationship is?"
Ying Nian did not answer. He felt that they had no relationship. He did not want to marry someone of Yao Xiuyuan's status, nor did he dare to marry someone of his status. Chu Cheng's plan at the time was that Yao Xiuyuan needed someone to help him cook, and he happened to know how to cook, so he could stay here temporarily to avoid Tang Yu. Therefore, he always abided by his duties and prepared every meal for Yao Xiuyuan on time. Later, because Yao Xiuyuan did not charge him rent, he also took on other housework.
He was grateful to Yao Xiuyuan, thinking that he was a good person, and that if Yao Xiuyuan needed his help in the future, he would agree without hesitation. However, this was only his one-sided gratitude, and he would not be so self-indulgent as to think that he and Yao Xiuyuan were already friends because of their time together.
How could he be qualified to be Yao Xiuyuan's friend?
Seeing that he remained silent, Yao Xiuyuan was filled with surprise and curiosity. "If we are not friends, then we are roommates, right?"
Ying Nian felt that, to be more precise, their cohabitation situation should be described as him living under someone else's roof and seeking shelter.
"You don't think we're even roommates, do you?" Yao Xiuyuan said in disbelief.
Ying Nian smiled and said, "Then let's count it."
"That's it." Yao Xiuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his arms and leaned back on the chair, "Besides, you are Zhou Zhou's friend, Ah Cheng and I are friends, Zhou Zhou and Ah Cheng are more than just friends, so if we replace each other, we should also be friends."
