Chapter 68: Enemy
Lin Qiyuan initially thought that Cheng Fei was teasing them, but when he saw Zhou Yang's shy expression, he realized that something must have happened without his knowledge.
Before, he'd been completely consumed by the thought that Lin Qiyuan might be dead or seriously injured. Now that he'd calmed down, Zhou Yang felt embarrassed. They'd clearly never communicated, yet suddenly they were boyfriends. Wasn't that a bit sudden? What did Lin Qiyuan think? Would he think he was being too unreserved?
He was just thinking about it when the nurse saw that he was motionless and thought he was still worried about the patient's injuries. She walked in and pushed him: "Your boyfriend is fine now, you can go touch him."
The nurse was a woman in her early thirties, married for several years, and could understand the passionate love of young people. Seeing the beautiful boy's distraught expression when Zhou Yang first entered the hospital, she could naturally guess that the two must be deeply in love. It was normal for her to want to touch, caress, and have physical contact with each other.
"Yangyang, you..."
"Ding ding..." The crisp ringtone of the cell phone rang. Zhou Yang was about to explain, but he immediately answered the call.
The call was from the police station, asking Zhou Yang to make a statement when he was free and explain the specific situation.
With the mentality of running as far away as possible, Zhou Shifan hurriedly said, "I have to go to the police station first," and left in a hurry, feeling like he was running away in a panic.
Lin Qiyuan thought about it for a moment and understood a little. He asked Cheng Fei, "What did he tell you?"
The nurse changed Lin Qiyuan's dressing, closed the door, and left. Cheng Fei said, "Just now the nurse asked who the patient's family member was, and your family member got excited and said it was your boyfriend."
Lin Qiyuan tried hard to imagine this scene in his mind, but found that he couldn't imagine it. He said to Cheng Fei dissatisfiedly: "Be more specific!"
"No, how is this not specific? He just said one thing, that he's your boyfriend!"
"Be more specific! Where was it? His expression at the time, the reactions of the people around him, your thoughts, the nurse's reaction? Haven't you ever written an essay? You can't even do this!"
Cheng Fei: “…You’re mentally ill!”
The first time Lin Qiyuan didn't refute Cheng Fei's words, it wasn't that he admitted that he was mentally ill, but that he didn't pay attention to him.
"How long does it usually take to take a statement at the police station?" Lin Qiyuan couldn't wait to see Zhou Yang. Now seeing Cheng Fei seemed redundant. It would have been better if Cheng Fei had taken the statement.
Cheng Fei didn't know what he was thinking and thought about it carefully. "It's hard to say. The police station is not far from here. If everything goes well, an hour's round trip will be enough. If not, it may take two or three hours. Oh, by the way, I haven't called your home yet. I'll call first and go downstairs to buy you some fish soup later to replenish your energy."
"Don't fight!" Lin Qiyuan stopped him, "It's not a big deal!"
"Isn't this a big deal?" Cheng Fei exclaimed. "You're really crazy, aren't you? The New Year is coming soon. If you don't go home for the New Year, won't your parents get suspicious? A broken bone takes a hundred days to heal. Your injury is so serious. Even if you have a good physique, it will take you a month to recover! How can you hide this from your parents?"
"Let's keep it a secret for a while." Lin Qiyuan didn't plan to keep it a secret for long. "Yangyang and I just got together. If my parents knew that I was seriously injured because of him, I'm afraid they would inevitably be resentful. Yangyang is sensitive and will definitely be sad."
Cheng Fei thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. Uncle and aunt seem quite open-minded, but after all, this involves the life and health of their own son. Who knows if they will have a bad impression of Zhou Yang."
"It's not that serious. My parents will definitely like Zhou Yang. I'm just afraid that when they see how badly injured I am, they'll get excited and speak without restraint." In just a few minutes, Lin Qiyuan considered every aspect for Zhou Yang. "Wait ten days or half a month, and I think Zhou Yang's injury won't be that serious. I'll let him stay at his friend's house for a few days. Then I'll have my parents come over and say he was in a car accident."
Cheng Fei stared at him as if he didn't know him. Before he got angry, he quickly explained, "I didn't expect you to be such a romantic. It seems like I'm quite happy to be your boyfriend."
"Get lost, what's it got to do with you?" Lin Qiyuan looked at him with disdain.
"What are you looking at? I'm straight! I'm straight! Even if I'm crooked, I still can't stand you!"
This statement is not convincing at all. He just praised Lin Qiyuan for being a romantic man.
Of course Lin Qiyuan knew that he was straight, otherwise he would have stayed away from him long ago.
"The nurse said I've been given a painkiller injection now, and I might need more after the effect wears off. You need someone to stay with you tonight. I've found two caregivers, but one won't be here until tomorrow morning, and the other might not be until the day after tomorrow. Zhou Yang and I will have to bear the pain and stay here with you for one night."
"No need, you go back first, and just leave everything here. If you don't go back, your mother will definitely know about this. If Auntie knows, it will be like my parents know."
Cheng Fei: “…That’s true.”
Lin Qiyuan's drug contained a hypnotic component, and seeing him flagging, Cheng Fei quickly asked, "One last thing. Who was that hit-and-run scoundrel who hit you... no, hit Zhou Yang? Do you have any clue? I just heard Zhou Yang say that he did it on purpose."
Lin Qi had been feeling sleepy, but upon hearing this, he suddenly woke up. His eyes were deep, hiding a violent storm that made Cheng Fei shudder. "Da Fei, I have a favor to ask of you. Go and help me investigate the Yan family."
"Yan family? Which Yan family? Yan Yan's family?"
Yan Yanxing is Yan Zichen's father.
Lin Qiyuan nodded: "But it's not Yan Yanxing, it's his daughter Yan Zichen."
"Isn't his daughter, Yan Zichen, the girl who liked you in high school? Could it be..."
"Although it's just a suspicion, you know I never doubt people easily. I risked my life to save Yangyang. Of course, it was because I liked him and I judged my own safety, but I also felt guilty. If I hadn't handled this matter well, Yangyang would not have suffered such an unprovoked disaster." Lin Qiyuan's voice returned to calm.
If Yan Zichen really did it, this girl is too scary. If Lin Qiyuan hadn't pushed her, it's hard to imagine what Zhou Yang would be like now.
"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible."
On Zhou Yang's way to the police station, Song Xuhong called to ask why he hadn't arrived at the studio yet. He had said he was taking a friend to the airport and would be late, but it was almost eleven o'clock, which was a bit too late.
Zhou Yang briefly told Song Xuhong about the car accident. Song Xuhong was frightened and quickly expressed his desire to come over and take a look.
Having rejected his kindness, Zhou Yang now has no time to submit his work at all, except for going to the police station to take a statement and taking care of Lin Qiyuan. He can only ask Song Xuhong for help and hand in the work to the organizing committee in person.
When they arrived at the police station, the enthusiastic old man and woman were still there. They asked about Lin Qiyuan's injury and left after knowing that it was not serious.
He was said to be taking a statement, but at that time he only saw the car rushing towards him. Later, he was embraced by Lin Qiyuan and heard the sound of the car hitting him. He didn't see anything afterwards. In fact, the old man and woman saw it more clearly than he did.
The police briefly asked him about the situation at the time and whether he had any grudges against anyone.
The perpetrators were clearly well prepared, as all the roadside surveillance cameras were destroyed. The incident happened so suddenly that the only two witnesses didn't even see the license plate clearly.
Zhou Yang has never made enemies with anyone, but there are people who dislike him. Isn’t Zhang Mingfeng an example?
He racked his brains and came up with Zhang Mingfeng, and suddenly remembered the warning Ying Yanyan gave him, so he also mentioned Yan Zichen's name.
The police asked that after Lin Qiyuan recovered, they would send someone to take a statement. After promising to solve the case as soon as possible, they let Zhou Yang go.
Zhou Yang got up early in the morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast. After being busy all morning, he just returned downstairs to the hospital when his stomach started rumbling.
However, he ignored his own stomach and ordered a fish soup for Lin Qiyuan first, preparing to pack it up and take it to the ward.
The door of the ward was open. Zhou Yang walked closer quietly. There was no one there except Lin Qiyuan, who was lying there with his eyes closed, probably asleep.
The drip was over. Lin Qiyuan's left leg and right arm were injured. In order to avoid being pressed, he could only lie flat. He held the mobile phone in his intact left hand and placed it on his abdomen through the snow-white quilt.
Zhou Yang could see that Lin Qiyuan's face was still pale and bloodless, and his lips were no longer as shiny and rosy as before. However, he was still a handsome man who could not be compared with anyone else.
Zhou Yang walked over quietly and put the soup on the table.
The restaurant sells the casserole together. Although it is hot now, it is not very warm. Zhou Yang thought about it, took off his big scarf, and wrapped the casserole thickly.
The ward is not big. After all, it is not a private hospital that costs a lot of money. Although it is a single room, the conditions are average. It is chilly whether the heating is on or not.
Zhou Yang looked at Lin Qiyuan for a while, then leaned over to cover him with a quilt. As soon as his hand touched the corner of the quilt, it was held by a warm hand.
He looked up in surprise and met Lin Qiyuan's gaze.
Lin Qiyuan's eyes were gentle, with a hint of a smile, and his lips moved. His voice was very low, but Zhou Yang still heard it clearly: "Hello, boyfriend!"
