"Okay." Qin Hezhou had no choice but to follow Zhou Yanli for two steps before turning back and telling her worriedly, "Just wait here for me. I'll be back soon. If anything's urgent, remember to call me."
Pei Zhiyu wanted to say that she could, but when the words came to her lips and she saw his sincere expression, she couldn't say it.
In the end, I could only nod and agree.
Zhou Yanli led Qin Hezhou to his lounge and helped him find suitable clothes to change into, but he was still harsh in his words.
"You are a real warrior if you jump into the river for love!"
"..." After a day of hard work, Qin Hezhou was exhausted and too lazy to say anything back.
He took the clothes and walked into the bathroom. He felt alive again when the hot water rushed over his body. Not everyone could stand the water in this weather.
"By the way, how's things going between you and Bai Yueguang? I don't think she hates you that much." Zhou Yanli asked while grinding coffee beans.
The sound came through the door and was drowned out by the sound of water. Qin Hezhou only vaguely heard "white moonlight" and "hate you", and subconsciously thought that Zhou Yanli was having a seizure again.
"It's all a misunderstanding. Can't you just give me some hope?" he said.
"What did you say?"
"She doesn't hate me!" Qin Hezhou said angrily, raising his voice.
This made Zhou Yanli laugh.
He looked at the bathroom as if it was a fool, cursed "love brain" in a low voice, and then answered Qin Hezhou in a voice that both of them could hear.
"I see. Not only does your Bai Yueguang not hate you, she actually likes you very much. I wish you two can reconcile and have a baby soon!"
Qin Hezhou could hear his "sarcasm" and did not respond.
After taking a shower, he took some clothes from the rack and was about to change, but when he looked closely...
What the hell is this?
With a bang, Qin Hezhou flung the door open and questioned Zhou Yanli, "Is this what you usually wear?!"
"Hahahahahaha!" Zhou Yanli laughed so hard that he couldn't stand and continued laughing while leaning against the wall.
He himself had forgotten when he bought this sweatshirt with a farting bunny pattern on it, and it was still in the cabinet in the hospital lounge.
It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to make trouble for Qin Hezhou. He hadn't lived in this lounge for eight hundred years and had no other clothes left.
After laughing, he handed over the hot coffee he had just brewed. "You're so picky, it's great that I'm lending it to you. You can go home and change yourself."
Zhou Yanli has always been a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart. Sometimes he speaks so harshly that people want to slap him, but he is actually very caring.
Qin Hezhou took the coffee angrily and took a sip, then casually mentioned that he was about to officially start living together with Pei Zhiyu.
"Wow, the progress is quite rapid." Zhou Yanli smiled knowingly.
But when he thought back to the white moonlight he had just seen, he felt that she looked familiar, so he asked again: "Have I seen your first love before? In person, or in a photo?"
Qin Hezhou shook his head, puzzled: "Why do you ask?"
"look familiar."
"Everyone looks familiar."
Zhou Yanli spread his hands and said, "Maybe. Anyway, congratulations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hezhou had no time to respond when the door of the lounge was suddenly knocked several times.
"Brother! I heard that Brother Zhou fell into the water. Is he okay? Is he inside? Open the door!" Zhou Yanchu's voice came from outside.
“…”
“…”
Neither of them spoke. Qin Hezhou was annoyed, while Zhou Yanli was helpless.
After all, Zhou Yanchu is his own sister, and he can't be completely cruel to her. In the end, he put down the cup and prepared to open the door.
"Hey." Qin Hezhou stopped him, "I really can't stand her for too long, but I don't want to hurt our relationship, so..."
"I understand." Zhou Yanli nodded slightly.
Then Qin Hezhou continued, "If necessary, I can only send her away by force."
He had made it very clear that Zhou Yanli knew his limits and he just hoped that things wouldn't get to the worst possible stage.
Zhou Yanli opened the door silently, without giving Zhou Yanchu a chance to speak, and pulled her out, stopping at the other end of the corridor.
"It hurts! Brother, what are you doing?!" Zhou Yanchu rubbed his wrist aggrievedly.
"I told you before, but you don't remember it?" Zhou Yanli wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his serious expression always gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
But Zhou Yanchu had been spoiled to the point of being a bit ignorant of the world, and still wanted to be stubborn, "We are childhood sweethearts, why can't I..."
"He's married! Why are you rushing to be his mistress?"
"But it was Aunt Meng who brought us together!" she said aggrievedly.
"Aunt Meng is Qin Hezhou's aunt. Who do you think you are? Do you really think you are a member of the Qin family? I'm warning you one last time. If you don't restrain yourself, I'll have no choice but to let Dad handle this matter."
“…”
Zhou Yanli's tone left no room for argument. He hoped she would wake up after hearing what he said.
Their Zhou family had few descendants, only this one son and one daughter. In the early years, he and his father doted on Zhou Yanchu very much, but they did not expect that they spoiled him to such a lawless extent.
It's too late to regret now.
The door of the lounge opened again, and Qin Hezhou came out dressed neatly. He looked at the brother and sister, nodded, and signaled Zhou Yanli to go first.
He didn't even look at Zhou Yanchu, which made Miss Zhou even angrier.
She obviously hadn't listened to what Zhou Yanli had just said. All she could think of was Pei Zhiyu taking away everything that belonged to her. Not only had he bewitched Qin Hezhou, but even her own brother had sided with outsiders...
It seems that the previous lesson was not enough, she had to order someone to add some more ingredients to Pei Zhiyu.
On the other side, outside the emergency room, the mother of the drowned baby had rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from the police. When she saw Pei Zhiyu, tears welled up in her eyes and she bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
