The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

After hearing the whole story, Zhi Qiu was a little speechless, but she felt much more at ease.

After a while, Zhi Qiu let out a long sigh of relief. Her expression was a mix of speechlessness, amusement, and a little heartache.

I was so scared I almost jumped out of my skin when I was hit by a car, but I didn't even break the skin. The real serious injury was when I twisted my ankle while going down the steps.

The contrast...

Zhi Qiu felt that her mood had been fluctuating wildly all morning, like she had been on a rollercoaster.

Now, the roller coaster has arrived at its destination. She feels a little weak all over, yet also wants to laugh, and even more so, wants to punch the person in front of her who she carelessly hit a few more times.

Han Yang, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back his laughter either and burst out laughing.

Ye Shu, enraged and embarrassed, turned around and asked:

"What are you laughing at? You can't even convey a message properly."

Han Yang shrugged beside him:

"I'm innocent! I told you everything on the phone. I said you were hit by a car while crossing the street this morning, but it wasn't serious. Later you sprained your ankle and are in the hospital now. I made it very clear."

Zhi Qiu felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Han Yang seemed to have said something else on the phone after she heard that she had been hit by a car, but she hadn't heard a word of it at the time.

She admitted in a low voice:

"Well... I think I was too anxious at the time. When I heard that you were hit by a car, I panicked and didn't listen to anything after that."

As she spoke, she glared at Ye Shu again, but in that glare, there was only relief and heartache at having survived a disaster.

She then turned to look at Ye Shu's foot, which was in a splint, and said:

"Why don't you stay here for a couple of days and rest? Your injuries are so serious."

"Need not."

Ye Shu quickly said:

"The doctor said to keep it immobilized and minimize movement. I'll come back later for a check-up to remove the splint. They'll give me a crutch tonight, so I can go home on it. Besides, how much would it cost to stay here for a day? And besides, nothing beats the comfort of home."

That's true. This hospital is a place to treat illnesses, but not a place to recuperate.

Zhi Qiu nodded, looking at Ye Shu's face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face:

"Okay, let's see if you'll be careful when you walk from now on."

After saying that, she raised her hand to tidy up her hair, which had become a little messy from running, and used the large hair clip on her head to clip it up again.

After composing herself, Zhi Qiu took a deep breath and transformed back into the composed older sister she always was.

She looked at Han Yang, her usual gentle demeanor returning:

"Han Yang, thank you so much this time. What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll go buy it."

Upon hearing this, Han Yang quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, don't be so polite. I have some other things to do later, so I have to go first. If I wasn't worried about leaving him alone in the hospital, I wouldn't have called you in such a hurry. I would have stayed here with him."

What he said was very true.

Ye Shu recalled that he had been taken to the hospital by the police officers that morning, and when they saw that he had difficulty moving around, they asked him to contact his family.

His first thought was indeed that of Zhi Qiu, but then he thought about it again. It was just a sprained ankle, and it was so cold outside. He felt a little sorry for her rushing to the hospital and having to stay there all day.

After hesitating for a moment, I still called Han Yang.

As soon as the old man heard that he was in the hospital, he drove his seven-handed Volkswagen Sentinel over without saying a word.

I spent several days registering, paying, and running around. In between, I even took some time to go downstairs to the supermarket to buy some fruit and bottled water.

"Thank you so much."

Ye Shu glanced at Han Yang gratefully.

Han Yang had already put on his coat, and seeing Ye Shu's look, he grinned in disgust.

"Stop looking at me like that. Go flirt with your boyfriend. It disgusts me."

After he finished speaking, he said to Zhi Qiu:

"Well, sister-in-law, I'll be going now. Just give me a call if you need anything."

"Okay, drive carefully. Thanks a lot for today."

Zhi Qiu also got up and escorted him to the door of the ward.

Ye Shu sat on the bed, looked at Han Yang and laughed. Where did this old guy learn these words? He can even say "flying eye". Could it be that he was infected by me?

After Han Yang left, the ward seemed a little quieter with one less person in it.

Zhi Qiu returned to the bedside, glanced at the bed next to hers, and asked:

"Are you all alone in this ward? It's quite quiet."

"No, there's an old man who lives here by himself. He just had his morning injection before you came, and then he went down for a walk."

"oh."

Zhi Qiu nodded, clearly not caring where the old man had gone. She couldn't help but look at the splint on Ye Shu's right ankle, staring at it for a long time, as if staring at it would make it heal faster.

After staring at it for a long time, she sighed softly:

"Are you hungry? I'll go buy you something to eat. What would you like?"

Ye Shu shook her head:

"I'm not very hungry. Han Yang bought me some fruit when he came, so I don't feel hungry yet."

He looked at Zhi Qiu's still slightly red eyes, slowly reached out, and gently took Zhi Qiu's hand:

"Sister Zhi Qiu, I'm sorry, I scared you."

Zhi Qiu looked up, saw his guilty gaze, and glared at him reproachfully:

"I know you'll scare me. We were lucky this time... You, remember this from now on: no matter how big or small, if it concerns you, you must tell me immediately, understand? Don't try to hide it from me because you're afraid of causing trouble or making me worry!"

Ye Shu nodded obediently:

"Okay, I got it. Next time something happens, I'll definitely call you first, the first person I'll call."

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Zhi Qiu immediately spat a few times and scolded:

"What do you mean 'next time'? There can't be a next time! This time, you almost scared me to death."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to be reddening again, so she quickly turned her face away and sniffed.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open again.

"Oh dear, Xiao Ye, what happened to you? Why are you in the hospital?"

The two turned to look at the door and saw Chen Xing struggling to squeeze through the door of the ward, carrying two large plastic bags that were full of things.

"Sister Chen Xing, what brings you here? What will happen to the shop if you leave?"

Ye Shu was a little surprised to see Chen Xing. It was already 9:30 when he was admitted to the hospital, and he only saw the message Chen Xing had sent him when he picked up his phone.

【Xiao Ye, why didn't you come to work?】

Then Ye Shucai replied to her message;

[Sister Chen Xing, something happened to me, I'm in the hospital now, and I probably won't be able to go to work today.]

Then he briefly explained his current situation to Chen Xing. Chen Xing didn't say anything after that, just told him to rest well. But he didn't expect that Sister Chen Xing would come to see him.

Chen Xing quickened his pace and, with a burst of effort, placed the two large plastic bags he was carrying on the hospital bed next to him. The bags looked quite heavy.

She sat on the bed herself and waved her hand:

"What's the big deal about closing the shop for a day? You're not here anyway, so it's a good opportunity to take a break."
