Chapter 249 Aci contacted me
It was that somewhat unreal and chaotic dream again. In the dream, medical staff in white coats walked around her, and she lay quietly on the bed, as if she could hear them discussing something.
"If I can't wake up by this week..."
"Director, please give me a little more time. I will do my best."
“Dr. Chu, I know you’ve done your best, but this patient…”
"Give me a little more time; she's shown signs of waking up recently."
"..."
"Ring ring..."
The distant, ethereal sound was suddenly interrupted by a rapid ringing of a bell. Ye Qingning abruptly opened her eyes and saw Chen Shi looking at her with a helpless expression, resting her chin on her hand.
"Qingning, this is the third time this week that you've gloriously fallen asleep in class."
Ye Qingning rubbed her eyes. The setting sun slanted through the window, causing her to squint slightly.
"get out of class is over?"
"Um."
Ye Qingning raised her hand to block the sunlight: "I didn't expect to fall under the curse of spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, and summer naps. It seems I've gotten a bit too bloated from staying at home all this time... I can't stay awake without a nap..."
Chen Shi smiled, raised an eyebrow slightly, and leaned closer to her, murmuring, "Isn't it because you stayed up too late with your brother-in-law last night?"
Ye Qingning's face flushed red: "Chen Shi! How old are you? How come your head is full of... erotic novels!"
Chen Shi shrugged: "You two are an old married couple, isn't it normal for men and women to have sex..."
Her voice wasn't deliberately lowered, and Ye Qingning hurriedly covered her mouth: "If you say that again, I'll tell on you! I've heard that Chen Song has already come to Qing City. Aren't you afraid he'll cut off your allowance?"
Chen Shi immediately backed down: "Sis, dear sis, I promise I won't say it again, okay?"
Just then, Ye Qingning received a message from Lin Feiyan on her phone: "Why hasn't it come down yet?"
Ye Qingning replied, "Right away."
She packed her bag: "Ayan's here, I have to go downstairs."
"Okay." Chen Shi picked up her bag as well: "Let's go, I'll see you downstairs."
"You're so thoughtful."
"That's right." Chen Shi's eyebrows lit up with joy: "I'm going to stand my post until the very end. After tomorrow, you'll be going on your honeymoon, and I can finally focus on my idol without worry."
Ye Qingning laughed: "There's only one class tomorrow afternoon, and Xie Linjing has a concert in Taipei at 8 pm. Will you have time to go after you finish your class with me?"
"So what if he's late? It's okay." Chen Shi was quite open-minded: "Anyway, it's not like this is his only concert."
Ye Qingning glanced at her and suddenly realized that although each of the people around Lin Feiyan was full of personality and unrestrained, they all listened to him and respected him very much.
Thinking about it this way, even if she's not by his side, he should be able to live a good life.
Ye Qingning frowned as soon as the thought crossed her mind.
Why would she suddenly think like that?
How could she not be by his side?
In a short while, the two had reached the bottom of the building. Through the lowered car window, Lin Feiyan's elegant and handsome face was visible. His originally cold and stern expression softened the moment he saw Ye Qingning.
"Come here," he beckoned to her.
Ye Qingning waved goodbye to Chen Shi and obediently got into the car.
Lin Feiyan pulled her hand into his palm, then instructed the driver to start the car.
Chen Shi watched the car leave, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a furtive figure, holding a phone that seemed to be filming the scene just now.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and walked towards the man hiding behind the tree without making a sound. Just then, the man came out, and as they passed each other, Chen Shi swung her hand and knocked the man's phone to the ground.
She applied just the right amount of force, and you could clearly hear the sound of the phone screen shattering.
Chen Shi quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention..."
"What happened to you!" The man picked up the phone and saw that the screen was badly cracked. "What do you suggest we do about this!"
Chen Shi glanced at it and said, "There's a mobile phone repair shop at the entrance. Let me go with you to take a look."
The man glanced at the car, which had long since disappeared from sight: "Fine, fine, anyway, you have to pay me back!"
"Don't worry," Chen Shi said sincerely, "It's my responsibility, of course I'll compensate you."
On the way, Chen Shi sent a message to Chen Tang, asking him to come over as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, the phone shop clerk announced that the man's phone was severely damaged and could not be repaired.
The man frowned: "What about the things on my phone?"
"We can export this for you," the staff member said, "but I'm afraid your phone can't be repaired."
The man finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Shi: "Pay for the phone."
Looking up at her watch, Chen Shi smiled and said, "It doesn't seem like this is solely my responsibility. I can share half of it with you."
"What do you mean it's not entirely your fault! You were the one who bumped into me!"
"Why didn't you watch where you were walking? Why didn't you put your phone in your pocket or hold it properly? How come it fell out when I bumped into you!" Chen Shi snorted. "Could it have been broken to begin with? Are you trying to scam me on purpose?"
"What's wrong with you? You didn't say that just now!"
The two started arguing back and forth. Seeing the man's furious and irritable expression, the people in the shop didn't dare to intervene and all kept their distance.
As soon as the store door was pushed open, Chen Tang rushed in carrying his skateboard, immediately blocking Chen Shi's path, raising his hand to protect her, and glaring at the man: "What do you want to do?"
"Who are you?" The man glanced at him and Chen Shi and sneered, "Calling your accomplices won't help. This isn't so easy to resolve. Either pay up, or call the police!"
Hearing that he was going to call the police, Chen Shi narrowed her eyes: "Fine, I guess I'm just unlucky. I'll compensate you, and you can go choose a phone yourself."
The man snorted and went to the counter. Chen Shi gestured to Chen Tang and followed closely behind. Chen Tang took out his laptop from his backpack, grabbed the broken phone from the clerk, and plugged it into the USB port...
Ten minutes later, the man returned, and Chen Tang had already packed up his computer.
After paying quickly and efficiently, Chen Shi and Chen Tang left the mobile phone store and sat down at the coffee shop across the street. Chen Tang then began analyzing the man's phone data.
...
Ten minutes later, he shrugged and closed his laptop: "Just a regular paparazzi who's just starting out. He has a lot of well-known people from the film academy on his phone. He probably just happened to see the boss and his wife by accident and took a picture."
"Is there anything else unusual? Call logs or anything?"
"No," Chen Tang said casually. "You're overthinking it. Who would dare touch the boss and his wife now?"
"It's good that you're alright." Chen Shi shrugged. "It's just my occupational habit; I always feel like something's not quite right lately."
Chen Tang casually twirled his skateboard and said with a smile, "I have good news. Aci contacted me."
