When Xiang Zhilan arrived at the hospital, she hurriedly asked the nurse on the night shift and rushed to the ward.
Because it was almost Chinese New Year, the hospital was deserted, as if only the sound of her running could be heard.
She ran to the door of ward 306, panting heavily, and after catching her breath, she pushed the door open and went inside.
Shen Muzhi was lying face down, with his hands in casts and his back wrapped in bandages.
Xiang Zhilan walked in, went to his bedside, and asked in a low voice, "What did the doctor say? Is it serious?"
Shen Muzhi turned his head to look at her, not wanting her to see him in such a disheveled state, and said lightly, "I'm fine, you should go back. The children still need to be taken care of; they must be terrified."
"The children were taken back by their parents." Xiang Zhilan casually addressed them again, then realized something was off and awkwardly corrected herself, "I meant they went back with their grandparents first."
"You must have been scared too, go back and rest early." Shen Muzhi turned his head away without looking at her.
Normally, she would have left if he had driven her away like that, but he was injured like this, and this was not the time for her to be stubborn with him.
“I’ll stay and take care of you. It’s not very convenient for you to move around like this.” Xiang Zhilan pulled up a chair and sat down.
“I’m the one who provoked Feng Jingxian. You don’t need to feel guilty or grateful, and you don’t need to force yourself to stay and take care of me.” Shen Muzhi didn’t want sympathy or gratitude from her.
"Okay, then I'm leaving." Xiang Zhilan stood up when she saw that he was facing away from her.
She turned and started to walk out, but just as she was about to open the door, she quickly turned back and caught Shen Muzhi looking at her with the eyes of a large dog that had been abandoned.
She smiled helplessly, turned back, wrinkled her nose, reached out and patted Shen Muzhi's head, saying in the same voice she used to speak to Hengheng, "What an awkward guy."
Shen Muzhi awkwardly withdrew his gaze and remained silent.
Xiang Zhilan smiled and sat down again. Seeing that he still refused to turn around and face her, she had no choice but to speak up herself: "What's the story behind Feng Jingxian saying he's not a man?"
"It happened that night. I kicked him and it caused a problem." Shen Muzhi saw Xiang Zhilan almost being raped at that time, and he lost his mind and didn't know his own strength. However, he never told Xiang Zhilan about this.
"Then what about him saying you set a trap for him and caused him to go to jail?" Xiang Zhilan frowned. From Feng Jingxian's words, it seemed that he had gone crazy because of old and new grudges.
Shen Muzhi pursed his lips. During that time, he learned that he and Xiang Zhilan had been divorced, and he was in a bad mood. Just then, he heard about some of Feng Jingxian's illegal activities. Feng Jingxian was in the securities industry, which, to put it bluntly, was speculation and profiteering.
"I didn't set a trap. He was breaking the law anyway, and I just happened to have the information." When Shen Muzhi finished gathering the information and was about to submit it, Xiang Zhilan returned. In a good mood, he put the matter aside.
Then a few days ago I had a fight with Xiang Zhilan, and my mood soured again. I kept thinking about Xiang Zhilan's vibrator theory, and about how Feng Jingxian had dated her. It's easy for me to get carried away and imagine what if it had been Feng Jingxian who knocked her down on the sofa that day...
As a result, he became increasingly angry and handed over the incriminating materials against Feng Jingxian.
I never expected it to turn out like this; I knew he would have handled it properly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Xiang Zhilan didn't want to delve into what exactly happened. Anyway, it was definitely just unfounded jealousy, and he'd been jealous like this more than once or twice.
