Chapter 114, 50,000-80,000 words
"Zhang Pengfei, you are you! You won't become a different person just because you wear a smart ring!"
Chen Jingyang pressed down on his hand and said, word by word, "Me too! Wearing this smart ring, I am still Chen Jingyang! Look carefully! This smart ring can't change anything! You are still you!"
Zhang Pengfei's unfocused gaze slowly began to refocus. Chen Jingyang knelt before him, repeating over and over again, "Do you see clearly? This smart ring can't change anything! You are still you, and I am still me! It's no big deal! Just wear it!"
After more than half an hour, Zhang Pengfei finally stopped shaking. He seemed to have grown up more than ten years in an instant. His eyes turned to the wound on Chen Jingyang's shoulder, and his eyes were particularly clear.
He reached out to touch it, then suddenly stopped in mid-air: "Does it hurt?"
Chen Jingyang hugged Zhang Pengfei tightly, tears dripping onto his neck: "It doesn't hurt! As long as you don't send me away again, it won't hurt even if you bite off that piece of flesh!"
After calming down, Chen Jingyang sniffed, released Zhang Pengfei, and asked him as if he was going to throw caution to the wind, "Did you remember something?"
Zhang Pengfei calmly replied, "No."
"Then, are you still afraid of this smart ring? I can wear it until you're no longer afraid."
Zhang Pengfei shook his head: "It doesn't mean anything. Don't worry, just throw it away."
"Okay!" Chen Jingyang wiped away his tears, unlocked the smart ring, and threw it into the trash can.
"Take off your clothes." Chen Jingyang picked up Zhang Pengfei. "They're all soaked; it'll be uncomfortable to wear them."
Zhang Pengfei grunted in response. In the past half hour, he had been drenched in cold sweat, his clothes completely soaked through!
"Would you like to take a shower? If not, I'll get some hot water and a towel to dry you off."
"Let's take a shower." Zhang Pengfei stood up. "I won't shower tonight."
Chen Jingyang helped him into the bathroom and stood by watching him quietly wash himself. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Zhang Pengfei seemed a little different.
He always had a vague intuition—Zhang Pengfei seemed to have remembered something!
He wasn't sure exactly what he remembered or how much, but he must have remembered some things.
But Zhang Pengfei said no!
Why say no?
Could it be that he was overthinking things, and Zhang Pengfei really didn't remember anything?
After Zhang Pengfei finished showering, he leaned against the armrest, grabbed a bathrobe and put it on. He glanced at Chen Jingyang's pants and said, "You should shower too."
Chen Jingyang's pants were completely wet on the front, making it look as if he had wet himself.
"Okay!" Chen Jingyang watched Zhang Pengfei sit down at the desk, bent down to pick up Zhang Pengfei's dirty clothes, and planned to go to the bathroom.
Zhang Pengfei suddenly asked him, "Why is there no key to that locked drawer? What's inside?"
Chen Jingyang turned around and his heart skipped a beat—in that drawer was the notebook where Zhang Pengfei wrote his daily reports!
"It's nothing, just some of my personal belongings."
They dared not let Zhang Pengfei see them again. A smart ring had almost driven him to the point of wanting to kick them out. The flesh on his shoulder was almost bitten off. If they saw any owner or anything like that, one of them would definitely go crazy today!
"Oh!" Zhang Pengfei asked again, his tone ambiguous, "Is it inconvenient? Can I see it?"
Chen Jingyang cleared his throat and mumbled, "It's...not very convenient."
Do I have any personal belongings?
"Hiss...!" Chen Jingyang gasped. Just a few months ago, even Zhang Pengfei belonged to him, Chen Jingyang. What personal belongings could he possibly have!
However, it doesn't seem quite right to just say no!
After all, if two people live together, how could the other person not have personal belongings if one of them has them?
Chen Jingyang scratched his head: "You...do you?"
"Where?"
"Well..." Chen Jingyang smiled sheepishly, "I don't know either. You always keep your things very well hidden and never tell me anything."
A look of doubt appeared in Zhang Pengfei's eyes: "Really?"
"Yes!" Chen Jingyang didn't dare to delay any longer, afraid that Zhang Pengfei would give him away if he questioned him again. "Think about it yourself, I'm going to take a shower!"
After entering the bathroom, Chen Jingyang closed the door, let out a long sigh, and stood in front of the mirror to examine the wound on his shoulder.
It was definitely a severe bite. Even through a layer of clothing, the blood had completely soaked into the surrounding fabric. The wound was the worst; the clothes and the wound were stuck together and could only be forcibly torn apart.
Chen Jingyang gritted his teeth and slowly peeled off his clothes. As expected, blood gushed out from the deepest holes like small springs.
The area around the wound was red and swollen, and the edges of several wounds were turned outwards, showing how much force Zhang Pengfei had used. If it weren't for the good material of the clothes, he might have really bitten off a piece of flesh!
Chen Jingyang took out iodine and cotton swabs from the first-aid kit, rinsed the wound several times, bandaged it simply with gauze, took a quick shower, put on a bathrobe, and threw their clothes into the washing machine.
While Hua Hua was away from home, he thoroughly studied the washing machine and has now reached a level of mastery.
After hanging up the clothes, Chen Jingyang returned to the bedroom, where Zhang Pengfei was quietly reading his thesis. Although he was reading very slowly, his rhythm was already excellent.
Chen Jingyang, nicknamed "Pengfei," sat down. Zhang Pengfei had returned, and there were many things he needed to discuss with him: "What do you think of this young lady? Huahua starts school in a few days. If you like her cooking, let her stay and take care of you. If you don't, the aunt who used to cook for us is currently unemployed."
Zhang Pengfei thought for a moment and said, "Let's use the same one as before. This girl is a bit young, so it's not convenient for her."
"There's one more thing." Chen Jingyang took out his phone and showed him pictures: "Your mother will be discharged from the hospital in a while, but the environment here isn't quite suitable for her. I've found a few nursing homes for her. Which one do you think is suitable?"
Zhang Pengfei looked at it several times and said to him, "We have to go and see it in person."
“Okay!” Chen Jingyang put away his phone. “Then, how about tomorrow? Let’s bring Auntie along too, and hear her opinion as well.”
Zhang Pengfei nodded: "Is it expensive?"
"It depends on the specific room type and the services chosen; prices range from over 10,000 to 200,000 yuan per month. For someone like my aunt, she definitely needs dedicated care. I estimate it will take about a month..."
Chen Jingyang thought for a moment: "It's probably between 50,000 and 80,000."
Seeing Zhang Pengfei frown, he quickly added, "However, if you pay in one lump sum, such as for 20 years, there may be a 20% discount."
Paying for 20 years in one lump sum will generate enough interest to cover the 20% discount!
