Chapter 93 Apology (End of Text)
The disease came like a mountain falling on Zhou Yang. This disease came on with great force. He had a fever for several days in a row, and the antipyretics he took during his hospitalization were of no use.
Lin Qiyuan was not very anxious. He knew that Zhou Yang was under too much mental stress for a long time. It was better for him to fall ill than to force himself to stay awake. He should be able to recover after a few rests.
Zhou's father and mother rushed to the hospital from home, extremely anxious.
In Zhou's father's impression, Zhou Yang rarely got sick since he was a child and was considered to be in very good health. So when he heard the news that Zhou Yang was hospitalized, he rushed over in a hurry.
He dispatched someone to carefully track his son's whereabouts for the past six months. Combining this with the two men's attitudes, he pieced together a scenario: Zhou Yang and Lin Qiyuan had known each other for a long time and were likely a couple, living together for over six months. They had recently argued over something, and one of them had gone to Country Y, while the other simply returned to her grandmother's home to recuperate. This suggested the reason for the quarrel was serious.
Dad Zhou guessed that the fault might be on Lin Qiyuan's side, so Lin Qiyuan took the initiative to put down his pride and admit his mistake, and Zhou Yang was so angry that he refused to see him.
He felt sorry for Zhou Yang and felt a little resentful towards Lin Qiyuan. If it weren't for him, Zhou Yang wouldn't have fallen ill and been hospitalized.
He was too embarrassed to curse, and he knew he hadn't cared enough about Zhou Yang before, so he had no right to curse. But he couldn't help but complain: "You little brat, you were in good health when you were alone, how come you got sick after someone took care of you?"
Zhou Yang was still feeling uncomfortable, his mind was in a daze, and he didn't understand what his father meant. He only responded with two "hmm".
These words were naturally said to Lin Qiyuan.
Even though he was thick-skinned, he was in front of his future father-in-law after all, and he was indeed in the wrong this time. If he hadn't insisted on kissing and hugging Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang wouldn't have been infected with the cold.
Lin Qiyuan felt guilty and did not say a word to defend himself. He silently poured tea for Zhou's father, cut fruit, and then wiped Zhou Yang's forehead over and over again without getting tired of it.
These hard-working, down-to-earth and reliable actions made Lin Qiyuan leave a much better impression on Zhou's father, and Zhou's father never said anything insinuating to him again.
Zhou's father and mother came for a while, and then the nanny brought over some chicken soup, and then they went home together.
By the evening, Zhou Yang had broken out in a sweat and his fever had completely subsided. His condition had subsided so quickly that the man, still groggy in the morning, was already clamoring to be discharged and go home in the afternoon. However, the doctor felt that Zhou Yang was indeed fine and could recuperate at home.
Lin Qiyuan couldn't persuade him and had to take him home.
Patients who have just recovered cannot eat greasy food. The chicken soup brought by Zhou's father did not contain oil, but after settling for a long time, there was still a lot of oil floating on the surface.
Lin Qiyuan divided the large pot of chicken soup into two portions. He skimmed off the oil from one portion, reheated it, and used it to make a bowl of porridge for Zhou Yang's dinner. He added seasoning to the other portion and ate it for himself.
Zhou Yang only added a little salt to the chicken soup, which tasted bland and tasteless. It was almost impossible to swallow it when paired with white porridge. Zhou Yang looked at the chicken soup with seasonings in Lin Qiyuan's bowl, his mouth watering with greed, and he wished he could dig into Lin Qiyuan's bowl.
Lin Qiyuan touched Zhou Yang's hair, which had just been washed and blow-dried, and said gently, "Be good, you can't eat. When you get better, I'll take you to a big meal."
Zhou Yang didn't want to have a big meal; he just wanted to eat something tasty. Seeing Lin Qiyuan stopping him, he pointed at Lin Qiyuan and trembled with anger: "This is the soup my parents brought for me to drink. Not only did you drink it, but you also treated the son of the owner of the chicken soup harshly. Tell me, are you a human being?"
Lin Qiyuan apologized repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'm not a human being. I took other people's things and bullied their children. Be good, just this once, okay? Next time I'll give you a drink and I won't bully you again, okay?"
To be honest, Zhou Yang is pretty, but she looks a bit cold.
When the two were together, it was Lin Qiyuan who took the initiative to seek attention most of the time, and Zhou Yang almost never showed his emotions so openly.
He really loved Zhou Yang's angry and spoiled look. If he didn't have strong self-control, he would have surrendered long ago.
Zhou Yang was a soft-hearted person who would not tolerate harsh words. Lin Qiyuan coaxed him unconditionally, and he felt embarrassed again: "I just want to eat something tasty."
From Lin Qiyuan's perspective, Zhou Yang looked a little puffy, with his mouth slightly pouted. His lips, which had just finished drinking the hot porridge, were moisturized and tender, and he was so engrossed in them that he forgot everything else.
He was really carried away. By the time he came to his senses, he had already started to eat Zhou Yang like a hungry wolf.
As soon as he touched Zhou Yang's lips, he couldn't wait to use the tip of his tongue to open his lips, licking, hooking, and lingering, and ended with a kiss. Lin Qiyuan left Zhou Yang's soft lips, smacked his lips unsatisfiedly, and then he saw Zhou Yang's expression clearly, which was an expression of disbelief that said, "Are you a beast? I was just discharged from the hospital after recovering from an illness."
The feeling of the kiss just now was truly wonderful. Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, Lin Qiyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he made an excuse for himself: "I gave you your cold. It's only fair that you give it back!"
Zhou Yang was really shocked by Lin Qiyuan's shamelessness. However, to deal with a shameless person, Yaoyao had to be even more shameless than him. He put his lips close to Lin Qiyuan's lips again and pulled down his belt at the same time, his eyes pure and teasing: "If I want to infect you, how can I do this alone?"
Lin Qiyuan had never known Zhou Yang to be so seductive. Even if he was Liu Xiahui, he couldn't resist this silent invitation. He kept a straight face, but he was going crazy inside. He said in a hoarse voice, "You're right. If you want to spread the infection back, you must at least keep a distance."
So the big bad wolf pounced on the little bad rabbit.
**
The Lin family had the most intense quarrel in the past 20 years. Of course, it was one-sided "domestic violence" by Lin's mother.
Lin Guodong pretended to run away in panic and hurriedly explained, "This is all a misunderstanding. I really don't mean to look down on Zhou Yang. Didn't you agree with me when I suggested canceling the blind date?"
Lin's mother looked like a tigress: "You're still trying to make excuses? Are you trying to shift the blame onto me?"
"No, no, I'm not putting the blame on you!" Father Lin hurriedly explained, "It's all that brat's fault. I thought the timing wasn't right and wanted to postpone it, but the Zhou family misunderstood. I said Zhou Hai wasn't very understanding. Oh, don't hit me! Honey, I'm really wronged. Don't you find it strange? The son who's the culprit stayed out of it, while I, an old father, got beaten and scolded at home. This is too strange! It's obviously Lin Qiyuan who's at fault!"
Mother Lin thought about it and felt that it made sense. She put down her slippers and sat on the sofa to catch her breath. "Don't talk about Lin Qiyuan either. You two are birds of a feather. Do you still think our son is a young and handsome young man in his twenties? He's so old. If a young and handsome boy falls for him, it would be a disaster for our family. And you're still trying to show off your skills?"
"..." No matter how unsatisfactory Lin Qiyuan is, he is still a handsome and wealthy bachelor. There is no need to belittle him like this.
"Anyway, this is all your fault. Lin Guodong, I'm telling you, if my daughter-in-law is really gone, I'll never let you go! Make it up to me as soon as possible!"
"How else can I make amends?" Lin's father said with a sad face, "Do I have to bear the blame and apologize?"
"That's a good idea." Mother Lin thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. At least it was sincere, so she nodded. "There's no time to lose. Hurry up and go to the Zhou family to apologize. Don't beat my daughter-in-law so hard that she runs away!"
…
Since Lin's mother was firm in her words, Lin's father had no choice but to put aside his pride and go to Zhou's house with his bags.
But if Lin Qiyuan hadn't filed the complaint this time, he wouldn't have been caught. The bastard was very insidious, and he really didn't seem like Lin Guodong's son.
Lin Guodong actually guessed it right. When he went to wait at the door of Zhou Yang's house, he discovered Zhou's father's attitude towards him. He was puzzled, so he called home and asked his mother a few questions, and then he guessed the truth of the matter.
He had some complaints about his father who had caused him trouble, so after knowing that his mother was a brainless fan of Zhou Yang, he complained without hesitation, focusing on criticizing his father's outrageous actions that almost caused her to lose her daughter-in-law.
So, Lin's mother was furious and forced Lin Guodong to come and apologize.
Zhou Hai was still angry. When he heard Lin Guodong say he was coming to apologize, his first reaction was disbelief, and his second reaction was that he would not accept the apology.
However, like Zhou Yang, Zhou's father is a person who responds to soft words and does not respond to tough ones. Lin's father is very humble. Although he is obviously older than Zhou's father, he always calls him Brother Zhou, which makes Zhou's father feel embarrassed to get angry.
However, as Zhou Yang's father, he had to take Na Qiao's place no matter what.
"Do you know that my son graduated from the most famous game design major at J University?" Zhou's father looked proud.
"I know." I had investigated it after learning about their relationship.
"Do you know that my son won the special prize in the game design competition?" Dad Zhou looked at Dad Lin with disdain.
"Of course." I didn't know it originally, but this matter has become a hot topic.
"My son looks like Pan An. You know there's a reinforcement group chasing him?"
"Yeah, it's pretty." Anyway, Zhou Yang is the aesthetic representative of his son and his wife. In their eyes, there should be no one in the world who is more handsome than Zhou Yang.
After receiving satisfactory answers to all three questions, Father Zhou finally relaxed and sipped his cold tea. He slowly said, "Whether my son likes your son or not is something we'll discuss later. Also, I heard your son has social anxiety. It seems like your wealthy family doesn't have a harmonious relationship."
"It's just a misunderstanding. They are very harmonious. Lin Qiyuan doesn't have social anxiety." Lin's father quickly explained.
Father Zhou was a little skeptical: "That's impossible, it seems like he said it himself."
“…” Your son brought his own death upon himself so you shouldn’t take the blame.
"He just lost his mind for a moment and said nonsense." Lin Guodong slandered his son without any guilt.
After Lin's father left, Zhou Hai was in a good mood and humming a little tune. Zhou's mother asked in surprise: "Are you so happy?"
"Of course!"
"Because Lin Qiyuan's father apologized to you?"
"How is that possible?" Father Zhou raised an eyebrow. "Before, I thought the Lin family looked down on our family, so I had to save up more for the betrothal gifts to have the confidence to open ten stores. I didn't expect the business to be so popular, hahahahaha."
"bride price?"
"Of course not. I don't need so much now. I can use the money I earn to buy a fish pond!" Father Zhou's only hobby since childhood was fishing. He always failed to catch fish, so he simply bought the fish pond. Fish ponds are not cheap at all, and the money earned from these ten stores in the past few days is just enough.
**
After being tormented by Lin Qiyuan all night, Zhou Yang's back was so sore when he got up the next day that he couldn't even stand up straight. Unfortunately, Lin Qiyuan had delayed too much work during this period and went to work early in the morning, so he couldn't find the culprit to vent his anger.
Zhou Yang is a person who thinks everything through. He knows that the Zhou family doesn't like him, but so what? As long as Lin Qiyuan likes him, it's enough. He is not marrying into Lin Qiyuan's family.
But if Lin Qiyuan's parents also like him, then he will be icing on the cake.
Helping someone in need is certainly valuable, but one should also do things that will add icing on the cake. He wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Lin Qiyuan's parents.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Yang received a call from his father.
The main purpose of this call was to show off that he had bought another fish pond, interspersed with a lot of trivial things. Zhou Yang listened for a long time and barely came to a conclusion: the previous cancellation of the blind date by Lin Qiyuan's parents was a misunderstanding, and they even came to apologize in person.
Zhou Yang was at a loss for words. The method he had just thought of to please his future father-in-law and mother-in-law was now useless?
Lin Qiyuan, who had returned home that night, heard about this and laughed so hard he couldn't straighten his back. "Why are you trying to please them? They should be trying to please you! If they didn't please you, then no one would want your son, who's still single and in his thirties. They should be grateful to you!"
"Get out, you're talking nonsense again!" Zhou Yang pushed Lin Qiyuan away in disgust.
Lin Qiyuan grabbed Zhou Yang's hand to stop him from making trouble, pulled him into his arms, and kissed his forehead: "Yang Yang, I remember there is something I haven't finished yet."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yang looked at the boring shopping ads on TV and turned it off without hesitation.
"Didn't you say before that you were going to pass your cold on to me? It seems like it hasn't passed on to me yet. Why don't we continue to pass it on today?"
Zhou Yang realized that this rumor was about intimate contact, and he immediately got up from Lin Qiyuan's arms and looked at the shameless man in front of him in disbelief: "I'm already recovered from my cold, why would I spread it to you!"
"Really? Your cold is gone?" Lin Qiyuan said happily, "Then we can finally have a good time tonight!"
"...Lin Qiyuan, you pervert!"
"Baby, call me hubby, he's only lusty towards you!"
…
Lin Qiyuan looked at Zhou Yang, who was so tired that he was too lazy to move a finger. He kissed him on the forehead, nose tip, and lips, then hugged him back in his arms and lay down contentedly.
The moonlight outside the window shines through faintly, as if sighing that this year's spring is extra long.
