Chapter 109 Clash
Shi Nianzhi saw that Lu Jiunian was still standing at the door after hanging up the phone, so he waved to him.
Lu Jiunian walked over to Shi Nianzhi without saying a word.
Shi Nianzhi's voice was filled with joy, "Last time I only visited a few spots, but this time we arrived early, so we should be able to visit them all."
Looking at Shi Nianzhi's happy face, Lu Jiunian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Finally, she said, "I just got a call. Something came up at the company. I'll have Shi Er go with you. I'll be back early tonight so we can have dinner together."
"Then take me to the company, and we'll go there after you're done with your work."
"It'll be a busy day."
Shi Nianzhi said earnestly, "You said you'd celebrate my birthday with me. If you don't, what kind of birthday celebration is it? You keep me by your side, and as long as I'm with you, it's my birthday. You're busy, I'll keep you company, okay?"
Shi Nianzhi reached out and wrapped his arms around Lu Jiunian's waist, acting very affectionately, which was extremely rare for him.
This made Lu Jiunian frown. "I have to meet with a business partner in a while. It involves a lot of things that you wouldn't understand."
“If I don’t understand, I won’t listen. I’ll wait for you outside, and you can come see me when you’re not busy. Just like when we weren’t married yet, you took me to the company and put me in the office.”
Shi Nianzhi suddenly remembered those days again.
Even when Lu Jiunian was working, he would occasionally glance at him, who was sitting stiffly on the sofa. They were so close back then, he wished he could stick to him.
Why are you already tired of it now?
Shi Nianzhi pressed his face against Lu Jiunian's chest. After the cold fabric of the white shirt was warmed by his body heat, he could feel his temperature and heartbeat.
Lu Jiunian placed his hand on Shi Nianzhi's shoulder, but his voice was somewhat impatient, "Stop fooling around."
How is he making a fuss?
Shi Nianzhi gripped Lu Jiunian's white shirt tightly, crumpling the expensive fabric.
"I'm not making a fuss. You promised to celebrate my birthday again."
"I have something to do."
What do you want?
The man's voice suddenly turned stern, carrying a hint of coldness, "Do I need to report to you?"
He recited this as he pushed it away forcefully.
Shi Nianzhi was unwilling and argued with him. The more the man tried to push him away, the more he wanted to throw himself into his arms.
It felt like if I didn't hold on tighter to the person in front of me, they would disappear.
"Enough! Aren't you annoying me?!"
The next second, Shi Nianzhi was forcefully thrown aside and fell to the ground.
The loud thud indicated a hard fall.
Lu Jiunian still had some anger on his face. When he saw Shi Nianzhi fall, he wanted to reach out and help her up, but in the end he felt that he could no longer indulge Shi Nianzhi.
He's just a country bumpkin who's been spoiled rotten and has become incredibly arrogant.
The man got into the car and slammed the door shut.
He coldly ordered the driver, "Hospital, drive!"
Shi Er ran over and squatted down in front of Shi Nianzhi. "Young Master Shi, let me see, there's bleeding."
Shi Nianzhi's elbow hit the ground, and his skin was covered in mud and sand. It wasn't a very serious injury, but because his skin was delicate, it looked frighteningly red.
Shi Nianzhi covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "It's nothing, I just fell."
"I'll take you to disinfect."
Shi Er helped Shi Nianzhi up and led him into the house.
After treating the wound, Shi Er glanced at his phone and then said to Shi Nianzhi, "Third Master instructed me to take you to the wildlife park. The tickets have already been sent to my phone. Shall we go now?"
Shi Nianzhi wasn't really in the mood to play, but he didn't know what he was supposed to do, so he nodded.
Once they were in the car, Shi Nianzhi said, "Shi Er, drive me to a private hospital. Don't tell him."
Shi Er nodded.
Shi Nianzhi took out his phone and called Su Hengyi.
"Brother, could you help me again with that doctor you found last time? I want to confirm a few things."
"Can."
Shortly after hanging up the phone, Su Hengyi sent him the department number and told him to go and find Director Huang.
When Shi Nian got off the bus, she said to Shi Er, "Wait for me here. It's inconvenient for me to take you with me."
Shi Er nodded.
Shi Nianzhi found Director Huang, who handed him a set of clothes. "Change into these. I'm taking a group of students for rounds today, so no one will notice you if you blend in."
"Will we be able to find our way to the ninth floor...that one?"
"No, that won't happen. But the one on the ninth floor has already been moved down. When we check the wards on the seventh floor, we'll pass by his VIP ward. You just want to take a look, right? I'll just walk slowly when we pass by the door. I'll let you see it a few more times, let alone just one look."
Director Huang is such a witty and humorous person.
Shi Nianzhi nodded, her voice sweet and obedient, "Thank you."
Director Huang smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing to see. You two look very similar, but your appearance is more pleasing to the eye."
"More comfortable?"
"I don't know, it's just this feeling. If I had to choose between the two of you, I would prefer to look at you. Maybe it's because the other one was in a vegetative state before, so she's thinner and doesn't look well."
Shi Nianzhi nodded, "In that case, he can rest for a while."
"Yes. Aren't you twins?"
"no."
"That's amazing, they can look so alike."
Someone stood at the door and called out, "Director Huang, aren't we leaving yet?"
"You bunch of brats, what's the rush! Use your brains, I'm going to test you all after the ward rounds!"
After Director Huang finished speaking, he urged Shi Nianzhi, "Hurry up and change, we're leaving."
"good."
Shi Nianzhi quickly changed into a white coat, put on a mask, messed up his hair, and mingled with a group of medical students, holding a pen and notebook.
The ward rounds weren't very fast, but they weren't very slow either; we went from ward to ward.
Shi Nianzhi walked behind Director Huang until they were almost at Gu Zijian's VIP ward.
Director Huang suddenly said to Shi Nianzhi, "You blend into the crowd, I'll walk slowly in a bit."
"Won't his hospital room door be closed?"
"No, usually not. Doctors from all departments are making their rounds at this time. But if you're unlucky, you'll just have made a wasted trip. Hey, isn't there a small glass pane on the door? You can look through there."
"All right."
Shi Nianzhi blended into the crowd.
When he passed by that door in his white coat, the door was open.
Shi Nianzhi glanced over and saw Lu Jiunian sitting next to Gu Zijian in the ward, looking down with affection as he held a bowl of porridge and fed the person on the bed.
Shi Nianzhi didn't look at the person on the hospital bed; when his gaze fell on Lu Jiunian, it was already entirely fixed on that man.
Didn't he have something to do at work?
It turns out that the so-called "I was busy" and "I had to skip the birthday celebration with him" were actually things that needed to be done.
It was just a small thing—having breakfast with Gu Zijian.
Shi Nianzhi felt waves of pain in his heart, and he suddenly stopped at the doorway as he walked.
Caught off guard, the person behind her bumped into her, causing the notebook Shi Nianzhi was holding to fall to the ground.
Afraid that Lu Jiunian would discover him, he hurriedly bent down and lowered his head to check.
"sorry----"
At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from the ward, "A-Nian, it's so noisy outside, why are there so many people? Close the door."
"good."
Lu Jiunian walked to the door in a few steps, and Shi Nianzhi's line of sight came into view of those shiny black leather shoes and those perfectly ironed black trousers without a single wrinkle.
Shi Nianzhi tightened his grip on the notebook slightly, and finally, with a blank expression, he saw the hospital room door close in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
If Lu Jiunian were to look down at him, he would have found him there.
But that man probably only had Gu Zijian in his heart, which is why he didn't even notice that Gu Zijian was squatting right in front of him.
Someone next to him asked, "Are you alright?"
"fine."
Shi Nianzhi picked up the notebook.
He didn't join the ward rounds; instead, he leaned against the wall outside the VIP ward, head bowed, his heart breaking.
Is his birthday celebration really less important than Gu Zijian's breakfast?
Shi Nianzhi clenched his fist, pulled off his mask, and pushed open the door to the ward.
"Bang----"
The ward door slammed against the wall with such a loud sound that it drew the attention of Gu Zijian and Lu Jiunian.
Shi Nianzhi looked at Gu Zijian's gaunt face. Apart from being thin, they were indeed very similar. The bridge of their noses, the shape of their lips, and the contours of their faces.
The only difference is in their eyes. Shi Nianzhi's eyes are noticeably more beautiful, while Gu Zijian's eyes are not as pure and lack the clean and spirited quality of Shi Nianzhi's.
Lu Jiunian's face darkened. He put down his bowl and strode over to Shi Nianzhi.
"What are you doing here? And why are you dressed like that!"
He was rather questioning.
Shi Nianzhi was at a loss for words in the face of this situation.
When he heard Lu Jiunian ask a question, he looked up at him.
He countered, "Aren't you busy with work? What are you doing here?"
Gu Zijian threw back the covers, sat on the edge of the bed, then stood up again. "A-Nian, who is this?"
Lu Jiunian completely ignored Gu Zijian and pushed Shi Nianzhi outside, saying, "Go back."
The sound of shattering glass filled the hospital room. Gu Zijian fell to the ground, cutting his hand on the glass, which bled profusely.
Lu Jiunian turned around and saw Gu Zijian fall. He didn't care about Shi Nianzhi anymore. He ran over, picked Gu Zijian up, and put him back on the hospital bed.
I am concerned and worried.
Gu Zijian's smile softened. "I'm sorry, I didn't know my legs were so unsteady that I accidentally fell."
After a pause, Gu Zijian added self-deprecatingly, "I feel like a piece of trash right now."
"Nonsense, you just haven't walked in a long time, you'll recover slowly."
"I'll call the doctor to bandage you up."
Lu Jiunian pressed the call button, and the doctor rushed over. Shi Nianzhi stood by the door, watching the scene in the ward. His eyes stung, and his heart ached. He was so pained that he didn't know what to do.
Could Lu Jiunian tell him what to do?
How can I take back all the love in my heart, stop caring, stop paying attention, and stop feeling sad?
After Gu Zijian's wound was bandaged, Lu Jiunian turned around and saw Shi Nianzhi.
The man frowned slightly. "Why are you still here?!"
