"He said his name was Loki, and this is how we fought back then..." Shang Yan gestured with his hands to demonstrate.
"Oh... Luo... what?" Chen Muye looked up abruptly. "How could he be in the suburbs of Cangnan City?"
"It's not the suburbs, it's outside the city."
...
After Shang Yan finished explaining in detail, Chen Muye left first, as he needed to report the matter.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced our new member to you yet. This is Lin Qiye, who joined us yesterday!" Hongying pulled Lin Qiye, who was standing to the side.
Lin Qiye stepped forward and smiled slightly at Shang Yan, "Long time no see, Brother Shang Yan."
"You can see now? That's wonderful!" Shang Yan gave him a big smile.
"Huh? You two know each other?" Hongying, who was about to introduce them, asked with some confusion.
Shang Yan scratched his head. "When I had mental problems before, I was transferred to Sunshine Mental Hospital..."
So that's how it is. No wonder Shang Yan and Lin Qiye know each other; they're fellow patients.
After chatting for a while, Shang Yan reached out and pulled Zhou Ping, who was standing by the bed like an invisible man.
He took Zhou Ping's hand and introduced him, "This is my boyfriend, Zhou Ping."
Hongying and Si Xiaonan exchanged a glance, then covered their mouths and laughed in unison. They winked at Shang Yan, and then greeted Zhou Ping.
"Hello, I've heard Shang Yan mention you before, but I've never met you," Si Xiaonan said first. After speaking, her gaze lingered on the shy young man with his head down for a moment before turning to Shang Yan.
Zhou Ping nodded. "Hello."
Zhao Kongcheng was already used to it. Seeing Shang Yan introduce it again, he also greeted Zhou Ping, "Long time no see. I heard that you two have opened a bookstore. This time, we have to thank Shang Yan. I will go to your new bookstore to support you when the time comes."
"Yes, hello, thank you," Zhou Ping nodded quickly in response.
Wen Qimo, who was standing to the side, said to Zhou Ping first, "It's been a long time."
Then she turned and hooked her arm around Leng Xuan's shoulder, sighing, "Look at that young couple, they might have already gotten married, sigh... Brother Leng..."
He sighed deeply, and Leng Xuan couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Leng Xuan nodded to Zhou Ping and said, "Long time no see."
"Hmm," Zhou Ping nodded slowly, having spoken more that morning than he usually does in a whole day.
Lin Qiye was the only one left. When Shang Yan said that Zhou Ping was his boyfriend, Lin Qiye was stunned and his eyes widened.
ah?
No, the two of them?
Is that what he thinks?
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Lin Qiye coughed twice and remained silent for a while. He could easily call Shang Yan "brother", but what should he call Zhou Ping now?
Brother?
"...Hello, Brother Zhou Ping." After holding it in for a long time, Lin Qiye finally managed to utter these words.
"Hello, hello." Finally, it was the last person. Zhou Ping responded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Shang Yan was in good spirits and seemed perfectly normal except for being a little pale, Hong Ying and the others left the ward one after another after staying there for a while.
Before leaving, Leng Xuan, who was walking behind, considerately closed the door for the two people in the ward.
Shang Yan felt like he was growing hair after staying in bed all day. He woke up early the next morning, and Zhou Ping, who was lying next to him, opened his eyes when he got up.
"Yan Yan?" Zhou Ping frowned as he saw Shang Yan bending down to put on her shoes. He glanced at the time. "It's only seven in the morning. What are you doing up so early?"
"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
After putting on his shoes, Shang Yan sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to cup his face. "I'm all better now, I don't need to stay in the hospital anymore."
His fingertips brushed against the dark circles under Zhou Ping's eyes, caused by staying up late and not getting enough sleep, and he couldn't help but feel a little down.
"I want to go out and play. Shall we go home this afternoon?" Seeing that Zhou Ping didn't speak, Shang Yan thought he didn't want to agree, so she moved closer to him and pounced on him, wrapping her arms around Zhou Ping's neck and her legs around his waist.
Zhou Ping blushed slightly and nudged Shang Yan, "Yan Yan, we're outside..."
"If you want to leave, we'll go home this afternoon. You can come down first." Can't you be a little more dignified in your way of being affectionate?
Zhou Ping sat frozen in his chair.
Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door. Before Zhou Ping could push Shang Yan away, the door was opened.
Lin Qiye, who had just opened the door to deliver the tonic soup, witnessed this scene.
He slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
"Sorry to bother you!"
After placing the tonic soup at the door, Lin Qiye's eyes were firm and upright. "Brother Shangyan, I've left the tonic soup outside the door!"
He turned and left without the slightest hesitation; his retreating figure even carried a hint of panic.
Zhou Ping looked at Shang Yan, who was still clinging to him, and silently covered his face.
"Yan Yan, you can't do that next time, or how will you explain it?" He just wanted to run up to Lin Qiye and say that it wasn't what he thought!
However, such an explanation is simply too weak and unconvincing.
"Oh, why?" Shang Yan asked疑惑地, "Do we have some kind of illicit relationship?"
They've already met each other's parents and sleep in the same bed every day, so what's there to be ashamed of?
Zhou Ping slowly lowered his hands from his face, the blush still lingering. "Is there anything, something more presentable..."
“We’re not at home now, we’re outside… it wouldn’t be good if someone saw us.” He put his hand on Shang Yan’s waist, wanting to lift him up and put him on the bed.
"Shall we go out? Can I be discharged from the hospital?" Shang Yan swung his leg.
"Let's go." Zhou Ping got up from his seat, preparing to take Shang Yan to complete the formalities.
After finishing the business, he left the hospital with Shang Yan.
The rain outside stopped last night, and now the sun is shining brightly. It was a bit chilly this morning after the rain, so Zhou Ping took off his coat and gave it to Shang Yan, who was standing next to him.
"Where do you want to go?" Zhou Ping thought, "You don't want to go to the zoo to see the monkeys again, do you?" Thinking of the last time he took Shang Yan to see the monkeys, Zhou Ping touched the sword box behind him.
"Let's go shopping. We haven't been to any shopping malls in Cangnan City yet," Shang Yan said after thinking for a while, then pulled Zhou Ping toward the bus stop not far away.
They were not far from the shopping mall; it was only a ten-minute bus ride away.
Shang Yan took Zhou Ping's hand and walked ahead. He casually pulled out a box of chocolate bars and handed it to Zhou Ping, who was standing next to him.
Zhou Ping took the money, paid for it skillfully, and then handed over the chocolate bar.
Shang Yan crunched on his food, then seemed to remember something after eating half of it.
He pulled one out and held it to Zhou Ping's lips, "Want to try some?"
