Chapter 72
Half an hour later, Leng Yunting hurried to the hospital.
Chi Ke pushed open the door of the ward and walked in first. Through the half-closed curtain, he saw Su Jinmian, who was wearing no makeup, with her eyes closed and her hair ruffled. Her fingertips were frantically rubbing her lips covered with concealer, making them look even paler.
Chi Ke: “.”
You've gone a bit over the top, Mr. Su.
He grabbed the phone, cleared his throat, and reminded Su Jinmian not to move.
After receiving the order, Su Jinmian immediately stood still.
Leng Yunting rushed over anxiously: "Jinmian...sister."
Su Jinmian remained motionless.
Chi Ke planned to take Leng Yunting away after a while.
As long as someone sees Leng Yunting coming to the hospital and passes the news to Sima Yichen, the goal will be achieved.
Su Jinmian's role was very simple, she only needed to diligently play the role of an unconscious corpse——
The corpse opened its eyes slightly, raised its arms, and grabbed the corner of Leng Yunting's clothes with trembling hands.
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke chose to drink water to calm himself.
Su Jinmian said hoarsely: "Bai, Bai Yao."
Chi Ke spat out a mouthful of water.
"Bai, Yao?" Leng Yunting's eyes flashed with pain, "Have you developed feelings for him so quickly? Sister Jinmian, look carefully, who am I?"
Su Jinmian's pupils finally focused, and he immediately let go of her hand, sighing in extreme disappointment: "Sorry, brother, I thought it was Bai Yao."
Chi Ke: “.”
Mr. Su is so addicted to acting, but his acting skills are a bit sloppy.
Who can believe this?
Leng Yunting pursed his lips into a line, his hands hanging by his trouser legs trembled slightly, and his smile was very forced: "Sister-in-law."
Chi Ke closed his eyes.
They are all gods.
Leng Yunting was so irritated by the name "Bai Yao" that he couldn't stand it and ran out to smoke.
As soon as the door closed, Su Jinmian sat up and asked anxiously, "Did you record it? Did you record it?"
Chi Ke handed over the phone he had been holding: "What do you want this for?"
Before coming, Su Jinmian specifically sent him a message reminding him to make sure to record this scene on video.
"Send it to Leng Baiyao." Su Jinmian touched his nose, "Apologize. We had a fight a few days ago. This time it's my fault."
Chi Ke blurted out: "Fighting again?"
"Haha." Su Jinmian smiled awkwardly, "Didn't he break his leg? I was so conscientious that I wanted to cook him a meal, but I didn't see the potatoes sprouted... Well, I didn't even know the potatoes sprouted. Anyway, he ate so much that he had diarrhea and vomited and got food poisoning. It was Doctor Ji who helped take him to the hospital. After he woke up, he insisted that I murdered him on purpose because I didn't like him."
Chi Ke sighed in his heart and thought that you two have really added a lot of workload to Ji Qian.
"Just help me send it to him." Su Jinmian said, "It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone."
Chi Ke did as she wished.
[Rebirth of the only son of a wealthy family:? ]
[Rebirth of the only son of a wealthy family: ...]
[Rebirth of the Only Son of a Wealthy Family: Thank you Mr. Chi for cooperating in recording the video. In return, I will also share a video with you. ]
【k:? 】
Leng Boyao sent a video file of more than 200 megabytes, and the camera was from Leng Boyao's first-person perspective.
"Ji Qian," the camera said, "Do you really have to torture me like this?"
Ji Qian stood in the kitchen, frying mushrooms with a spatula in his left hand and shielding his face with an iron basin in his right hand, his body eight feet away from the gas stove.
After his hands were splashed with oil twice and four pieces of mushrooms were fried out of the pan, he said angrily: "Why does this spatula feel so awkward to hold?!"
The camera couldn't stand it anymore: "Because your dad is not left-handed!"
It's obvious that this habit was infected by Su Jinmian.
"That makes sense." Ji Qian swapped the iron basin and the shovel, and it really felt much more comfortable. "Come on, Mr. Leng, have a taste."
The camera directly refused: "No."
"Hurry up!" Ji Qian urged, "Otherwise I will ask your fiancée to cook for you next time."
"I knew that the potato was your bad idea last time!" The camera was furious. Fearing that he would really do something inhumane, it reluctantly went over to take the chopsticks to taste the dish. Without hesitation, it commented, "It tastes terrible."
"No way? Although it's a bit ugly, I have improved the recipe myself." Ji Qian tasted it depressedly, "Isn't this okay?"
"You can't even make fried rice with egg, and you're trying to improve the recipe? There's no garlic or onion, and very little oil. Half of it stuck to the pan and got burnt. The taste is bland, how can it be good?" The camera didn't understand his sense of taste.
"Well, if you want to say that, my cooking is really good." Ji Qian smiled happily, "It doesn't matter whether you think it tastes good or not, I won't cook it for you anyway."
Camera: "Then you let me taste it?"
"I asked you to give an objective evaluation, not to make a subjective statement." Ji Qian lifted his hair confidently, "I'll come again tomorrow."
Camera Crash: "Are you sick?"
Ji Qian: "If I learn one more dish today, my husband will love me more tomorrow."
"You don't have a kitchen in your own home?"
"That won't work. What if it explodes?"
"roll!"
Chi Ke's eyes fell on the red mark on the back of Ji Qian's hand caused by oil.
After a long time, he saved the video and exited, then sent Leng Boyao a contact message.
[Rebirth: I am the only son of a wealthy family:? ]
【k: The WeChat of the jewelry designer you said you wanted to contact. 】
[Rebirth: I am the only son of a wealthy family: ...]
[Rebirth: I am the only son of a wealthy family: Mr. Chi, you are really a pleasant surprise. ]
He is usually taciturn and never says a word, but as long as he guesses the opening conditions correctly, he will definitely win a super big prize.
[Rebirth: I am the only son of a wealthy family: Don’t worry, I gave my kitchen to Ji Qian. ]
【K: Please prepare a set of burn ointment and gloves for him, thank you. 】
…
The news that Leng Yunting went to the hospital several times in three days soon reached Sima Yichen's ears.
Before, he didn’t know who Xu Lemian had offended, and he helped do something dirty, which was considered crossing the red line. Now going to Thailand is a foregone conclusion.
Many people in the circle knew about this, including Leng Yunting.
But two days passed and Leng Yunting did not send him any message. Instead, he rushed to the hospital frequently.
He was filled with hatred and endured the nausea as he returned to the hospital to visit Xu Lemian.
Some time ago, Leng Yunting didn't care about Xu Lemian at all. He thought that this person was of no use to him, so he never came back to see him.
After this incident, Leng Yunting unexpectedly still couldn't let go of this substitute.
After all, it's true love.
The car accident resulted in one death and two injuries. The driver who caused the accident died, while Xu Lemian and the taxi driver's injuries were not life-threatening.
The driver who caused the accident had just been released from prison not long ago. He was alone and had no savings, so he could not get any compensation. Xu Lemian could only withdraw money from the bank in advance to pay for the medical expenses in the past few days.
Sima Yichen only learned about his specific injuries after he arrived at the hospital.
My ankle is shattered and I probably won't be able to dance anymore.
Xu Lemian herself was aware of this situation. When she saw Sima Yichen coming, the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time finally found an outlet. She threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
A hint of impatience flashed across Sima Yichen's brow, but it was quickly covered up by a gentle smile.
He patted Xu Lemian's back gently, and said in a low and gentle voice: "It's okay, don't cry. It doesn't matter if you can't dance, we can still act and sing. At worst, I can support you for the rest of your life, how about that?"
Xu Lemian cried so hard that she hiccuped. She raised her red and swollen eyes and glared at him, saying in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense," Sima Yichen chuckled, holding his hand, intertwining their fingers, his tone became solemn and affectionate, "This is a promise. Le Mian, I know you can't let go of Leng Yunting yet, but can you give me a chance? Let me pursue you."
Xu Lemian didn't say anything. He lowered his head and stared at the patterns on the ground in a daze.
He didn't like Sima Yichen, but it was impossible for him to say that he was not moved.
Looking at Sima Yichen's affectionate eyes, he couldn't bear to say no, so he bit his lower lip and nodded slowly.
In the following days, Sima Yichen came every day.
He always brought something, sometimes it was Xu Lemian’s favorite snack, sometimes it was a book with a beautiful cover.
Whenever Xu Lemian asked him why he didn't go to work, he would sit on a chair beside the bed and say leisurely, "What's so important about work? Isn't it more interesting to accompany you?"
Xu Lemian just smiled at first, but later he slowly took the snacks and even opened the book and flipped through a few pages.
He is not good at saying no and cannot say no.
Sima Yichen's attack was too gentle.
So gentle that Xu Lemian couldn't help but fall for her.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Sima Yichen came to pick him up in a black SUV, with the trunk filled with roses, so red that they almost overflowed.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, the sunlight in the yard shining on him, and it seemed as if everyone's eyes were on him.
At that moment, Xu Lemian couldn't help but feel moved.
Maybe we can start over.
People cannot stay where they are. They should give others a chance and also give themselves a chance.
He took a deep breath, looked up at Sima Yichen, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Senior, let's be together."
Sima Yichen showed a visible smile of joy, held his hand and said, "Le Mian, today is really my luckiest day."
…
Chi Ke has been very unlucky recently.
I went to the night market to buy fruit and was ripped off by a black-hearted merchant for 500 yuan. I stepped on loose tiles while walking on a rainy day and my newly bought pants got wet. I ordered takeout for three consecutive days and none of them tasted good. After taking a shower, I was busy replying to my assistant's message and didn't look at the road, so I bumped into the glass door. I burned my tongue tip while drinking tea and got blisters. My toes hit the edge of the bed...
Chi Ke felt there was something wrong.
Although he had been unlucky before, he had never been this unlucky.
After much thought, the only possibility is that I haven't seen Ji Qian for too long, which has caused changes in the human body's magnetic field and has become incompatible with the feng shui of G City.
On the day he left, he walked faster than Leng Yunting.
Leng Yunting had to run two more steps to catch up with him, and said unhappily: "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Chi Ke ignored him, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
As expected, just after the two passed the security check, they received the news that there was a thunderstorm in S City and their flight had to be delayed.
Chi Ke stood there quietly for three seconds, ignoring Leng Yunting's complaints, and found an empty corner seat to sulk alone.
【k: The flight is delayed. 】
[The Great Gitzby: It is indeed raining heavily here. It is okay. It is late. Safety is the most important thing! The weather in G City is nice today. You can watch the sunset with me! /sun/]
Chi Ke held his chin and looked out the window.
As he was about to leave, the chairman did not arrange any new job for him. The entrepreneurial process was also going smoothly and there was nothing to worry about. Now that he had some free time, he suddenly felt a little bored.
He thought about it and opened the mini-game of making burritos on his phone - this was the game that Ji Qian downloaded on his phone when he was bored in the car and his phone ran out of battery last time.
It's not difficult, it doesn't require any technical skills, it's just for killing time.
He turned off the game's addictive BGM and found an audio book on basic medicine to listen to while playing.
It was not until night fell that a flight attendant came to inform them to board the plane.
The flight was also half an hour later than expected, and we landed in S City at around one in the morning.
The rain was still heavy, pouring down as if through a crack in the sky.
Although Zhen Ting sent a car to pick them up, Ji Qian would definitely drive here specially if he knew that he would land in the early morning.
In order to save him from the hassle of traveling back and forth so late at night, Chi Ke had already told him to change the flight to tomorrow.
The car was parked in the outdoor parking area. Chi Ke walked out of the glass door with an umbrella and clenched his hand gently on the suitcase handle.
It’s not that he was afraid of the cold, but the moment the wind blew in, the wet air forced him to subconsciously shrink his shoulders.
Leng Yunting beside him also shivered and said with a sullen face: "It's raining again, so annoying... Chi Zhu, you feel annoyed too, right?"
It was true that his calf hurt a little, but Chi Ke said, "It's not a bother."
Leng Yunting was surprised: "Are you kidding me? Aren't you annoyed? I'm annoyed, so why shouldn't you be annoyed?"
A few days ago, this guy's face was dark all day because it rained in G City.
People's sorrows and joys are not shared.
Chi Ke glanced at him and said, "No one is waiting at Mr. Leng's house."
Leng Yunting: “?”
Chi Ke: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Leng Yunting: “…”
Leng Yunting really hates Ji Qian.
But he hated it and didn't dare to show it.
If anyone utters the five words "Ji Qian is so annoying", Chi Ke will find a way to kill him tomorrow.
The heater in the business car was on high. Chi Ke picked up a plum cake from his pocket and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread along the tip of his tongue.
He took out his mobile phone out of boredom and opened the software on his phone to view the surveillance footage.
A glance over——
No one?
Chi Ke's eyes drooped unconsciously.
Why aren't you sleeping at home in the middle of the night? Are you in the living room or out?
Tsk, how about installing surveillance cameras in the living room, kitchen and bathroom?
I've already installed it, so one or two more won't make a difference, right?
"Chizhu, do you want to go for a drink tonight?"
Leng Yunting had no tact at all and broke the silence in the car.
Chi Ke said calmly: "No, it's annoying."
Leng Yunting: “?”
No, who said not to be annoyed just now?
Could it be that...
At some point, he bowed down to Ji Qian? !
He knows that there is no unconditional and eternal love in the world!
Leng Yunting suddenly felt a twisted sense of pleasure in his heart, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose: "Late——"
The sound suddenly stopped.
Because he found that the gloom on Chi Ke’s face disappeared within five seconds, and there was even a bit of inexplicable... joy?
ah?
What's the matter?
Fall in love again?
Chi Ke completely ignored the stupid, inquiring gaze from the person next to him and tapped the screen with his fingertips.
In the picture, Ji Qian happened to walk into the room, his bangs were slightly wet, as if stained with moisture from the night rain, his down jacket was swung on the clothes rack, revealing the loose pajamas underneath. He must have just finished washing up and went out.
This person was holding a small backpack in his arms, and his movements were vaguely revealing...
Dog sneaky meaning.
Chi Ke nodded at his temples inexplicably.
Isn't he the only one at home?
What is the purpose of stealing and cheating?
If you don’t know, you’d think he just came back from stealing secrets from somewhere.
However, when he reverently opened the small backpack, Chi Ke's casual expression froze and a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
He recognized it.
The bag was filled with the shirts he wore next to his body.
Chi Ke moved his finger and immediately checked the surveillance camera at the door of his house in Rongyuan.
Sure enough, half an hour ago, Ji Qian was seen going in and out like a thief.
The scene cuts back to the bedroom, and Ji Qian has rolled onto the bed with the shirt in his arms.
He wrapped himself in the quilt, buried his face in the clothes twice, rolled twice, and finally lay on his side without moving.
After a while, his left hand loosened his clothes and reached into the quilt...
"Chi Zhu, what are you looking at?"
Leng Yunting was so curious that he almost exploded and leaned forward.
Chi Ke immediately held the phone screen in his palm and pressed the switch several times without making a sound. His two long legs, which were originally placed leisurely, were then elegantly crossed.
He looked out the rain-washed window expressionlessly, propped up his chin with his knuckles, and replied in a cold and calm tone: "Nothing."
Leng Yunting said "Oh" and sat back, but he couldn't help but glance at his face several times.
...Is it an illusion?
Why does it feel like the corners of this person's eyes are a little redder than usual?
The author has something to say:

…
Ji Qian had been learning to cook according to Chi Ke's taste for a long time. Later one day, Chi Ke accidentally saw this memo and was silent for a long time. He said uncertainly: "It seems that you are really a bit picky?"
"Can that be called picky eating? That's called pursuing something in life and not compromising." Ji Qian said firmly, "I still have so many things I like to eat. This level of acceptance is already very high!"
Chi Ke accepted the answer with satisfaction and continued to be picky about food with peace of mind.
