"Then you can just be envious." Shen Muzhi unconsciously raised his hand to his lips, gently wiping them twice, a faint smile curving his lips.
"I know you just had a kiss, so you don't need to act so infatuated." Xiao Yi clicked his tongue. "Your public displays of affection are so embarrassing. You're such an old man, yet you act like a primary school student when it comes to dating."
Shen Muzhi was in a good mood and didn't care what he said.
Xiao Yi got back to the main point and said, "Do you still need the medicine you asked me for last time?"
Shen Muzhi had previously undergone hypnotherapy with him, hoping to forget Su Yan, but the treatment, which lasted for half a month, had no effect. Later, he told Shen Muzhi that there was a drug abroad that could be used in conjunction with the treatment, but the drug was complicated to import, which was why it had taken so long to obtain it.
However, seeing Shen Muzhi's current state, he felt there was no need to perform the hypnosis. Hypnotic memory manipulation was inherently risky, and he was unwilling to do it for Shen Muzhi unless absolutely necessary.
"No need." Shen Muzhi's smile faded as she looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Even if we succeed, such wholehearted devotion would be a deception to her."
"You know that's good. Anyway, I still stand by what I always say: the dead are gone, but the living can still be made." Xiao Yi reached out and patted Shen Muzhi's shoulder, saying, "Enjoy the kindness of this beauty. Don't be so awkward anymore. I think my kindness to you is more than just repaying a debt of gratitude."
Shen Mu's dark eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Xiao Yi with hope.
Xiao Yi knew what he wanted to hear from him, so he smiled and said, "Maybe it's about repaying a debt of gratitude, but I saw her blushing when I came in just now."
Xiang Zhilan was facing away at the time, so Shen Muzhi didn't see her blush. Hearing Xiao Yi say that, he felt even better. He thought she didn't have the shyness of a little girl in front of him.
"Alright, you should focus on recovering. I won't watch you show off your love anymore." Xiao Yi stood up and turned to leave.
"Su Yan is your cousin, right?" Shen Muzhi suddenly remembered this and asked.
Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks, turned around, and made no attempt to hide his true feelings: "Yes."
Shen Muzhi wasn't going to question her, but he later investigated how Su Yan got into the wedding. He found out she had Xiao Yi's invitation, and by following the clues, he discovered their relationship.
Su Yan's mother was not Su Chengwen's first wife. She was so low-key that she was almost invisible and never attended any high-society banquets. So even Shen Muzhi was not familiar with her, as if she did not exist. He only met her once, ten years ago, at Su Yan's funeral.
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her do anything outrageous." Shen Muzhi heard the news yesterday that Su Chengwen had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and he felt that something was wrong.
Su Chengwen is Su Yan's father. Su Yan loved her father very much when she was alive. Moreover, he had called him Uncle Su for twenty years. He couldn't just stand by and watch something happen to him. He wanted to investigate.
"I understand." Xiao Yi nodded, said no more, and walked to the door to open it.
Just then, Xiao Yi saw Xiang Zhilan standing outside and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, your husband is perfectly normal. He just likes you teasing him. That's how elementary school boys get the attention of girls they like."
Xiang Zhilan chuckled; his description was indeed accurate and apt.
Xiao Yi walked past her and went outside. Xiang Zhilan's smile faded slightly as she entered the ward.
