Chapter 21 Late Return 21
"It's time to go back."
Lin Xu's eyes darkened and his fingertips tightened inadvertently.
"But are you sure you can survive the transfer to another hospital in your current condition?"
Xu Nianbai frowned and looked at him for a few times, then folded his arms and tilted his head slightly.
Lin Xu nodded softly, his eyes unconsciously looking outside the ward door.
Xu Nianbai couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and saw through the little thoughts in his eyes at a glance.
He couldn't help but sneer, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression: "I really want to take a picture of you being so stubborn."
"If you ask me, you should just confess to Fu Yin. Your mother is like a lunatic. You'll get hurt anyway whether you tell her or not."
Xu Nianbai placed one hand on the chair and copied, his tone lazy but his expression revealing heartache.
He and Lin Xu have been brothers for more than ten years and have been inseparable since elementary school. After graduating from graduate school, they agreed to start a business together, but Lin Xu turned around and went abroad, leaving behind a message to help him take care of Fu Yin and then there was no news of him.
Not to mention Fu Yin, Lin Xu hadn't even contacted him. Only he had let bygones be bygones. Many times he felt that Lin Xu was caring, but more often he felt sorry for what he had gone through.
"Don't talk nonsense if you're afraid she'll be unhappy."
"Do me a favor." Lin Xu sighed lightly, crossed his hands and rubbed them, thinking for a while and then looked at Xu Nianbai.
——
Fu Yin hailed a taxi on the roadside, and Jiang Qian ran out breathlessly and grabbed her wrist.
"Why did you leave? Did you quarrel with Lin Xu again?"
Jiang Qian took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then took Fu Yin's wrist.
"I'm such a puppy for paying any attention to him."
A taxi stopped in front of them. Fu Yin opened the door and got in. Jiang Qian followed and sat next to her and closed the door.
"Ronghua Hotel." Fu Yin reported the location, his tone obviously irritated.
Jiang Qian fluttered her eyelashes, leaned forward and pressed her face against Fu Yin's delicate cheek, raised her lips and said, "I think you said the same thing last time."
"Wang twice and listen." Jiang Qian touched the woman's chin with her fingertips, her eyebrows curved.
Fu Yin's cheeks flushed, and he turned his face away shyly, and said angrily: "Which side are you on?"
"I don't want you to be angry, okay?"
"After surviving this disaster, doesn't he know how to cherish you?"
Jiang Qian clicked her tongue twice. After all, all men are bad. What can't be explained in a few words?
As someone involved in the situation, Fu Yin might not understand it, but as an outsider, she could see clearly that the look in Lin Xu's eyes when he looked at her was not innocent.
Not to mention that he is willing to risk his life for Fu Yin, he must love her very much.
Only when a person regards someone as more important than himself will he disregard his own life.
"I know he's being stubborn, but I just want to hear it from his own mouth."
Fu Yin lowered her head slightly. She was just joking, but she didn't expect him to actually follow her words.
Lin Xu is a coward.
But she still felt sorry for him.
"What are your plans for the future?" Jiang Qian twitched the corner of her lips and rubbed her arm again.
Fu Yin was thinking seriously when the cell phone in his bag suddenly rang.
I took out my cell phone from my bag and found that it was Xu Muzhou calling.
"Sister Fu Yin, the TV station has an emergency call-up, we should go back."
"Okay, you and Xiaoman pack up first. I'm on my way back to the hotel."
"I've booked a flight for tomorrow morning. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
Xu Muzhou hummed softly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke with some anticipation.
"No, you and Xiaoman can eat. I still have some work to do."
Fu Yin hung up the phone, took out her tablet from her bag and opened the memo. She had completed part of the manuscript in the hospital yesterday but had not revised it yet. She also had another daily financial hot topic article to write.
"I heard Nianbai say that his brother works for you?"
"Does he like you?"
Jiang Qian narrowed her eyes and noticed that it was Xu Muzhou who called.
"I guess so." Fu Yin responded perfunctorily, subconsciously avoiding the topic.
Xu Muzhou had expressed his love for her before, but she didn't take it to heart most of the time. After hearing what he said in the hospital yesterday, she gradually realized that he seemed to be serious.
"Xu Nianbai is quite handsome too, so his brother shouldn't be much worse, right? I heard he's three years younger than us. Do you have a photo?"
Jiang Qian thought for a moment, her eyes lit up instantly, and she smelled the gossip and came up again.
Fu Yin gasped, pulled Jiang Qian's arm away, pointed his fingertips at her forehead and pushed her away: "That's enough, believe it or not, I'll tell Xu Nianbai that you're thinking about his brother?"
"No, I'm just thinking about you."
"If you ask me, you should encourage Lin Xu so that he will cherish it."
Jiang Qian chuckled softly, and leaned her lips against her ear to give her advice.
Fu Yin shook his head helplessly, took out the earplugs from his bag and automatically blocked the sound, then slowly closed his eyes: "I'm a little tired, call me when we get there."
In the evening, Fu Yin was tidying up things in the room, Jiang Qian was sitting on the sofa playing Candy Crush, and opened a small window to order takeout.
"What do you want to eat? I ordered it for you."
"Aren't you going to see Xu Nianbai tonight?"
"No, he's in cahoots with Lin Xu. I'll sleep with you tonight."
Fu Yin was folding clothes and looking around to see if she had left anything behind. She looked at the phone on the bedside table from time to time, hesitating whether to tell Lin Xu that she was going back.
No, she swore to ignore him.
Otherwise she would really become a puppy.
Fu Yin was struggling internally and didn't even hear Jiang Qian calling her several times.
Jiang Qian closed the Candy Crush game, enlarged the takeaway pop-up window and jumped up from the sofa.
"If you want to contact me, just send me a message. You've almost penetrated my phone. Will it send a message on its own?"
"What if he doesn't want to respond to me..."
Fu Yin uttered this quietly, then stopped abruptly when he realized that he had revealed his inner thoughts.
"You automatically filter out what I say, and you get excited when I mention Lin Xu."
"Admit it, you're a puppy."
Jiang Qian's voice was crisp, and she couldn't help but complain. She walked a few steps to Fu Yin and handed her the phone: "See what you want to order."
"How about I ask Xu Nianbai to ask Lin Xu for you? They must still be together right now."
"But just now Xu Nianbai told me that Lin Xu also needs to be transferred back to Beijing. I guess the company can't do without him."
Jiang Qian sighed. Lin Xu not only owned Youshi Venture Capital but also the Lin Group. Xu Ning was about to step down from the Lin Group, so he would definitely have to take over, which would put a huge pressure on him.
Fu Yin came back to his senses, scrolled through the screen and randomly clicked on two items, then turned his gaze to Jiang Qian: "Can his body handle it?"
"The hospital has made all the arrangements, so there shouldn't be any major problems. If you're worried, go ask them yourself. I don't want to be your messenger all the time."
Jiang Qian patted her shoulder lightly with a solemn expression. After she finished ordering, she handed the phone back and started placing the order again.
Until the evening, Fu Yin still didn't send a message, nor did she want to tell Lin Xu that she was going back to Beijing tomorrow.
The next morning, Fu Yin was awakened by a knock on the door.
Xu Muzhou and Xia Xiaoman were standing at the door waiting. She got up from the bed in a daze and realized that she had overslept.
Last night, Jiang Qian invited me to chat until late at night and we ordered some barbecue and drank some wine. Although I was a little tipsy, I still felt dizzy.
Jiang Qian was still lying beside him, soundly sleeping, not at all woken by the noise outside.
Fu Yin tilted his head to look at her like this and reached out to grab her arms and pull her up.
"I'm going to miss my flight. This room expires tomorrow. I have to leave. I'll tell Xu Nianbai later."
Jiang Qian responded in a daze without even opening her eyes, and fell back on the bed a few minutes later.
Fu Yin sighed helplessly, turned and went into the bathroom to wash up, then came out with his luggage.
"You've been waiting for a long time. I didn't sleep well last night and got up late."
"It's okay, Sister Fu Yin. We just arrived, but you have serious dark circles under your eyes. Do you want to cover them up?"
Fu Yin nodded, thinking of packing up at the airport.
The taxi Xu Muzhou had arranged was at the hotel entrance, and the three of them left the hotel with their luggage.
After getting in the car, Fu Yin sent a message to Xu Nianbai and turned off his phone.
It was two hours later when they arrived at the airport. Fu Yin took a nap and when he got off the car, his eyes went dark and he couldn't stand steadily.
Her body fell to the side, and Xu Muzhou put his arms around her body and hugged her shoulders, stabilizing her center of gravity and helping her up.
"Hypoglycemia?"
Xu Muzhou took out a box of candy from his pocket and placed it in Fu Yin's palm.
Feeling the cold metal shell falling on his palm, Fu Yin raised his eyelashes and looked into Xu Muzhou's dark eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well, I didn't get enough rest, thank you."
Fu Yin subconsciously pulled away from his arms, cleared his throat and responded in a low voice.
Xia Xiaoman stood aside eating melon, his eyes widening a little.
Before, she thought Xu Muzhou was joking about liking Sister Fu Yin, but now it seems that the situation between the two is very unusual.
Xia Xiaoman stared at him for a long time with a look of being hit, and chuckled secretly.
"It's almost time to board the plane." Fu Yin reminded and quickly changed the subject.
The remaining warmth in Xu Muzhou's hand had not yet dissipated, and a hint of loss flashed across his eyes after failing again.
After he mustered up the courage to express his feelings the day before yesterday, she seemed to be avoiding him intentionally.
Xu Muzhou felt bad. If Lin Xu hadn't stood between them, he might still have a chance.
He still lost to Lin Xu.
Xu Muzhou's heart was in a mess. Looking at Fu Yin's back as he walked in front of him, his eyes gradually darkened.
Before boarding the plane, Fu Yin sat in a lounge chair and stared at the chat box with Lin Xu for a long time, hoping that he would send her a message.
"Didn't you tell Lin Xu about returning to Beijing?"
Xu Muzhou handed her a bottle of water. Seeing that she was in a daze for a long time, he spoke in a low voice.
Fu Yin raised his eyes and immediately turned off his phone and put it away.
"There's nothing much to say. I'll just go back to work anyway."
"Aren't you going to consider me? You seem to be avoiding me these past two days..."
"I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup." Fu Yin interrupted Xu Muzhou. She didn't want to make the relationship between colleagues too awkward.
Since we still have to work together for a long time, avoiding it is the best response.
She wouldn't consider anyone except Lin Xu.
Whoever she wants, she must get.
It was already evening when the plane landed. As the sun set, the few of them were picked up by the TV station's business car as soon as they left the airport.
Back at the TV station, Fu Yin walked straight to Lan Tian's office in high heels.
"Director Lan."
Fu Yin, holding documents in his hands, pushed the door open and said hello.
"Xiao Fu, it's not easy to come back safely. The higher-ups have rescinded your punishment, but your salary will still be deducted."
"Are you setting a trap for me on purpose?" Fu Yin spoke sharply, and his eyes were piercingly cold as he looked at Lan Tian.
