Chapter 75 Flirting
"Ever since Mr. Yan passed away, the Yan family has really run out of people who can support it." Zhou Hai sighed.
The relationship between the Zhou family and the Yan family is average. The closest time was when Old Man Yan wanted to matchmake Zhou Yang with his granddaughter. That was just a little cooperation between the two families, and of course it didn't work out in the end.
Zhou Hai doesn't like to make comments about people he doesn't know well behind their backs, so just a few casual remarks are fine.
On New Year’s Eve, all over China have customs such as pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, and staying up all night to welcome the New Year.
Fortunately, the Zhou family had put up the Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers early in the morning, so they didn't have to rush at night.
Staying up all night to celebrate the New Year is a tradition of the Zhou family. It has never been missed since Zhou Yang started keeping track of years.
In the past, Zhou Yang looked forward to the Chinese New Year and staying up all night long, because that way he could stay with his parents all night and chat with them.
Zhou Hai is busy with work, and his mother usually accompanies him and is rarely at home. The three of them spend very little time together at home, and it is a luxury to have a peaceful chat together.
He didn't know when it started, but he no longer looked forward to chatting with his parents, celebrating the New Year, or staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.
Especially this year, he just wanted to go back to his room quickly, make a video call with Lin Qiyuan, and see the person who was still making dumplings for him with his broken hands.
Lin Qiyuan sent a WeChat message saying that his legs were hurting again and he couldn't eat dumplings because of the pain. Zhou Yang felt so distressed when he heard that and he wanted to see him immediately so that he could rub his legs and make him feel better.
As expected, Zhou Hai took out a large fruit plate and some nuts, placed them on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Come, let's stay up all night!"
Zhou Yang wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhou Hai's expectant eyes, he pulled the corners of his mouth but didn't say it.
But someone helped him out. Mother Zhou came out of the bathroom, watched the boring Spring Festival Gala, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and suggested: "Why don't we not stay up all night this year? We've been busy all afternoon and we're tired."
Zhou Yang almost nodded, but restrained his gaze towards his father, waiting for the head of the family's verdict.
Mother Zhou continued: "You are not in good health, you should rest more! Besides, Xiaoyang must be tired too."
Hearing that Zhou Yang was also tired, Zhou Hai hesitated and turned to ask Zhou Yang: "Yangyang, are you tired?"
Zhou Yang was silent for a few seconds and replied, "A little bit."
"Then don't stay up all night and go upstairs to bed. I asked Aunt Su to wash and dry the quilts and sheets in your room for you." Zhou Hai pushed his son, urging him to go upstairs to bed.
Zhou Yang rolled his eyes and suddenly felt a little guilty, but the guilt soon disappeared and he went upstairs.
The room's furnishings hadn't been moved at all, and were still the same as before. The room was well heated and warm, not at all like the cold hospital.
In particular, Zhou Yang went to two hospitals in one day, and his body was full of the smell of disinfectant, which he couldn't stand.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower first, then came out to video chat with Lin Qiyuan.
Lin Qiyuan answered the call almost immediately.
Two seconds later, their eyes met.
Lin Qiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you blow dry your hair?"
Zhou Yang then realized that his hair was still wet, and even the collar of his pajamas was soaked. Although the room was warm, he still felt a slight chill. He lowered his head and pulled down his collar, turning up the wet collar to reveal his delicate collarbone.
Finally, his neck no longer felt cold. Zhou Yang looked up and saw Lin Qiyuan's Adam's apple moving.
“???”
Zhou Yang asked: "Are you still in pain now? Have you eaten dinner?"
Lin Qiyuan blinked.
He wasn't lying. After making the dumplings, he asked the nurse to go to the cafeteria to cook them for him, and it did hurt a bit. It was just because he made too much noise while making the dumplings and hit his injured arm. It would be strange if it didn't hurt.
He was in a state of panic for a while, but after taking a painkiller injection, he was fine.
Although there weren't as few dumplings as three for dinner, he did eat only a few. Firstly, he wasn't very hungry, and secondly, he was used to eating with Zhou Yang, so eating alone would be bland.
He originally planned to pretend, but seeing Zhou Yang's distressed look, he changed his words: "I'm much better now."
Zhou Yang thought he was being stubborn and didn't want to make him worry, so he changed the subject: "Are you hungry?"
Lin Qiyuan: "Not bad." Actually, he was a little hungry. It had been more than three hours since we had dumplings at six o'clock.
"You...know my identity!"
"I know..." Lin Qiyuan almost stumbled over his words, but suddenly remembered what Zhou Yang said to him before leaving the hospital, and quickly stopped: "Oh, I know."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"Yes, I know." But I deliberately hid it from you. Lin Qiyuan knew the difference between the two clearly, so he didn't dare to explain it to Zhou Yang easily.
Zhou Yang carefully observed Lin Qiyuan's expression and found that he was normal. He sighed that his boyfriend was really magnanimous. If it were him, he would definitely make the other party pay the price.
"Oh, right, I saw something happened to the Yan family. Our car accident seems to be related to the Yan family." Zhou Yang always felt that this matter was too coincidental. He hadn't had time to take action yet, so it was very likely that the Lin family had taken action. Zhou Yang said this, which was also a test.
Lin Qiyuan played dumb perfectly: "Yan family? The Yan family that sells cosmetics? Someone from their family did a hit-and-run? Then let's call the police!"
Well, my boyfriend is still a naive person, and the accident happening to the Yan family is probably just a coincidence.
"Things are quite complicated, let's talk about it later." Zhou Yang didn't want to let her naive boyfriend know too much, so she just brushed it off.
"Good night then." Zhou Yang glanced at her boyfriend and said goodbye.
Actually, Lin Qiyuan hadn't talked enough. Even if he didn't chat, he still wanted to see Zhou Yang's face more. But Zhou Yang had been busy all day and must be very tired. He wanted him to have a good rest.
At eleven o'clock on the night of New Year's Eve, the Zhou family was in complete silence, so quiet that it didn't seem like New Year's Day.
The alarm clock rang and Zhou Yangteng sat up. He put on his coat and pants, hunched over and went downstairs. He didn't stand up until he closed the door.
He slapped his forehead and cursed himself: How stupid.
He must be used to staying at Lin Qiyuan's house. The sound insulation at home is very good, so he doesn't need to learn the cat walk at all.
There were five cars in the garage, all of low-profile brands, and Zhou Yang had the keys to two of them. He opened an Audi, drove out of the garage, and headed straight for the city center hospital.
He looked back at the Zhou family villa, which was still quiet and dark, so he left without any reluctance.
Half a minute after he left, the light suddenly came on in Mr. and Mrs. Zhou's room. Mother Zhou, with sleepy eyes, poked her head out and asked, "What are you doing standing at the window in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Hai clutched his chest and said, "Alas, I can't keep my son when he grows up!"
Mother Zhou felt that Father Zhou was a little bit neurotic, but she was too sleepy to delve into it. When she was free, she would take him to see a doctor.
There were almost no people on the road at night. Zhou Yang was a good driver and drove smoothly and quickly. He also avoided many traffic lights along the way. He arrived at the destination in less than an hour and a half, which would have taken two hours during the day.
The City Central Hospital had also returned to silence at this time. Zhou Yang arrived at the fifth floor of the inpatient department. The lights in most of the wards had been turned off, but the lights in ward 523 where Lin Qiyuan was were still on.
However, Lin Qiyuan was the only one in the ward. According to hospital regulations, the lights had to be on to prevent any accidents from happening and the nurse on duty from discovering them in time.
Zhou Yang tiptoed in, afraid of waking up Lin Qiyuan, but what he didn't expect was that when he entered the room, he found Lin Qiyuan staring at his phone and not asleep at all.
Moreover, the pictures on the phone were clear and silly, and they were pictures of himself.
With his eyesight, he could easily see in the photo that he was picking up food with his head down, and his expression was hard to describe.
That was Zhou Yang's first time eating the food cooked by Lin Qiyuan, so naturally it tasted terrible. He thought he had concealed it well, but it turned out that Lin Qiyuan had already taken a picture of his expression.
However, Lin Qiyuan probably couldn't tell that his expression was one of disgust. To be fair, he himself didn't know what his expression meant at the time; it just looked a little silly.
“My photo looks so good?”
Lin Qiyuan turned around and saw Zhou Yang, his eyes flashing with great surprise, which almost shocked Zhou Yang.
“It’s so beautiful, I can’t get enough of it!”
Zhou Yang's face turned red, his heart began to beat violently, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"Why are you here so late?" Lin Qiyuan used his good hand to pull Zhou Yang and asked him to sit beside his bed.
Zhou Yang's face was still red. She was afraid that her boyfriend would notice something was wrong, so she tilted her face slightly and whispered, "Aren't you in pain?"
Lin Qiyuan saw that he was feeling awkward, with his lips slightly pouting, and loved him so much that he held his face with one hand and kissed him.
Zhou Yang didn't know where Lin Qiyuan's habit of kissing someone at the slightest disagreement came from, and he also had doubts about where his superb kissing skills were practiced. After the kiss, he was confused and breathless, and didn't even know where he was.
"Theory guides practice. I learned everything from articles on WeChat public accounts."
Only then did Zhou Yang realize that he had accidentally asked what was on his mind.
Since he asked, she had to keep it a secret, otherwise her boyfriend would think she was taking it too seriously.
"What official account? I want to learn it too!"
Lin Qiyuan chuckled and kissed Zhou Yang's lips again: "Baby, you don't need to learn. In our family, only one person can do it. I will teach you everything."
Baby?
Zhou Yang felt that the teasing he had shown to Lin Qiyuan when he left yesterday had backfired on him.
