Difficult Dogs

Chapter 31
A trace of anger flashed in Pei Xu's eyes. He raised his heels and stood behind Shen Zhiyu.

Shen Zhiyu stared at the doctor anxiously, her lips trembling, and she cried: "How is it? Doctor, is it serious?"

"The suturing went smoothly, but the patient continues to have a high fever and needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. Which of you is the patient's family member?"

The doctor took off his mask and looked at Shen Zhiyu and Pei Xu.

"I'm!"

"I'm."

The two spoke in unison.

Shen Zhiyu pursed her lips and looked up at Pei Xu, her face complicated and difficult to distinguish. Seeing him looking at the doctor with a cold face, she lowered her head, took a step back, and sat down on the chair.

"Who the hell is it?"

The doctor repeated it again.

"Tell me if you have anything." Pei Xu stepped forward, took the confirmation form from the doctor, and signed his name with a swipe of a pen.

"Don't give him anything to eat these days. You must also monitor his condition tonight. If anything is wrong, call the nurse immediately."

The doctor explained a lot, and Shen Zhiyu listened carefully with her ears raised.

Pei Chen was pushed into the ward.

Shen Zhiyu followed, seemingly forgetting that there was Pei Xu next to her.

Pei Xu did not go to the ward. He went to pay the fee first. When he returned to the ward, he stood outside for a long time, observing the situation inside through the transparent window through the door.

A sneer in my heart.

Life is so tough, you won’t die even if you do this.

Pei Xu raised his heels and walked in, placing the diagnosis and treatment card in front of the bedside table. "I hired a nurse. There is no use for you here. The nurse can take care of everything. I will send you back to rest."

Rarely, Pei Xu did not ask for her opinion, but forcefully made the decision for her.

Shen Zhiyu shook her head gently, her eyes always falling on Pei Chen, without even looking back.

Pei Xu put one hand in his pocket and carefully looked at Pei Chen lying on the bed.

Thinking back to the first time I met him, he was also such a weak brat.

He followed his mother with tears in his eyes, firmly grasping the hem of the adult's clothes, and timidly looked at the person in front of the Pei family's gate.

He was there too, but after a very brief glance he entered the house.

Who would have thought that he would actually come into the house and become his nominal brother.

Pei Xu was filled with gloom. He took off his glasses and carefully wiped the non-existent stains on the lenses.

"Zhiyu, he will be fine." Pei Xu said calmly, "You should rest now."

Shen Zhiyu turned back mechanically, her eyebrows tightening, "Brother Pei Xu, he blocked the knife for me. I believe that any passerby who is brave enough to act righteously cannot be indifferent. What's more, he is still your brother."

younger brother?What a brother, what a perfect excuse.

Pei Xu tensed his body and bit his back teeth again and again. After controlling his emotions, he just said coldly: "Shen Zhiyu, do you want to talk to me about brotherhood and brotherhood now?"

The atmosphere became anxious for a moment.

Pei Xu's words hit her heart bit by bit: "Don't forget how you complained to me and poured out your bitterness to me. Don't you never want to see him? Don't you want to feel the same as me? So, now you Have you changed? You are so easy to deceive."

Pei Xu suppressed the excitement and mania in his heart and dug out the things Shen Zhiyu didn't want to face and remember bit by bit.

Isn’t this what she said herself?

She was also wronged.

Shen Zhiyu's hands and feet were cold, and what Pei Xu said was like inserting countless knives into her heart, breaking through the past that was difficult to face. She really couldn't help but care.

Memories of the past are too heavy and suffocating.

"Then do you want to explain what happened today? This is completely different from what you said! Who is lying?!"

"I said I wanted to explain, but you didn't listen."

Pei Xu looked at her disappointedly.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she was unable to refute.

Pei Xu was really nice to her and had nothing to say. She shouldn't be like this.

She put away the thorns all over her body and condensed a thousand words into one sentence: "Just think of me as a bitch. Brother Pei Xu, I don't mean to blame you. I understand you, but please understand me."

Pei Xu didn't expect that Shen Zhiyu, who had always been proud, would devalue himself to the point of being worthless because of Pei Chen.

With trembling hands, he slammed the ward door with a loud bang.

Shen Zhiyu was suddenly frightened, and her shoulders shook several times.

She had never seen Pei Xu lose his temper.

There were no lights on in the ward, and cold instruments were inserted into Pei Chen's body. His breathing became heavier and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "What's wrong? Weren't you okay just now? Pei Chen, can you hear me?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Zhiyu hurriedly rang the emergency bell.

I got a fever-reducing shot.

Shen Zhiyu didn't dare to sleep all night, so she sat on the chair all night.

When Pei Chen woke up, Shen Zhiyu was lying beside the bed, sleeping uneasily. He raised his hand and tapped her fingertips.

"Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Shen Zhiyu immediately leaned down and touched his forehead, "Fortunately, the fever has gone away, otherwise I would have become a fool."

"Why don't you go back?"

Pei Chen's first words after waking up, his voice was as hoarse as smoke buried in his throat, dry and bitter.

"I'm afraid you'll die and come to me in the middle of the night to ask for your life."

The mouth is harder than diamond.

"How could it happen? I can't bear to do it."

Pei Chen forced a smile, his lips were dry, and he struggled to pronounce words.

Shen Zhiyu looked bad. She stood up weakly, dipped a cotton swab in some water, and wiped his lips.

The gauze bandaging on the wrist was accidentally rubbed off, revealing the stitch scar.

Really ugly.

Shen Zhiyu put her hands behind her back, "The doctor said you should be hospitalized for observation for a week. Brother Pei Xu hired a nurse for you."

"Does it hurt?"

Pei Chen's eyes were still on her waist.

"Ok?"

"Wrist, does it hurt?"

Pei Chen repeated it again, his eyes full of worry and distress.

I don’t know if there will be any scars, Pei Xu deserves to die.

"No, the minor injury is insignificant compared to yours."

Shen Zhiyu was exhausted, so she lay on the bedside again and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Girls love beauty, it's different."

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyu's tears started to fall again. She tried her best to hold them in and closed her eyes directly.

How could he be like this? Even though he had three stitches, he still had the energy to care about her.

Shen Zhiyu, you must not be soft-hearted.

This time it was just an accident. I will do my best to take good care of him and we will not owe each other anything.

"Shen Zhiyu, didn't you say you hired a nurse for me? Where are you? I want to wipe my body."

Pei Shente loves to be clean and cannot stand the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"Going to buy breakfast."

She wet the towel and started to untie his hospital gown.

Halfway through taking off her clothes, Pei Chen seemed to remember something, blocked her hand, and said unnaturally: "Forget it, I don't really want to wipe it now."

Shen Zhiyu was a little annoyed. Her eyes with hidden anger searched Pei Chen, as if she was dissatisfied with him for being pretentious.

Not being used to it, he took off his clothes and found a tattoo on his back, which spread to his left arm.

She stared blankly at his left arm. It wasn't like she hadn't seen it last time. The day he sent her home drunk, she misunderstood him taking off her clothes.

But I didn't look carefully at that moment. Just when I was about to take a closer look, I was interrupted by the voice outside the door.

"Hey, can you talk properly later?"

It was Shen Fu's voice, coming from far away.

Two uninvited guests immediately entered the ward.

Shen Fu screamed and pulled Shao Lin to retreat, but was pushed by the nurse behind her. "What's all the fuss about this morning? Don't you know the patient needs to rest?!"

Soon, the five people looked at each other in confusion. Except for Pei Chen, who looked relieved, the other four people were all blushing.
