Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

"We're fine, we just got caught in the rain and have a bit of a fever and dizziness. We'll probably stay here for a couple of days and head back early the day after tomorrow."

"Just take care of yourselves, you and Dad. Things are busy around the house lately, aren't they?"

"Alright, alright, I'll keep an eye on her. This young lady is eager to go out and have fun; she doesn't want to stay on our mountain."

While eating, Chen Jianji chatted and laughed with Chen Guochang on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Xinyi, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, had just stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth when she heard Chen Jianji speaking ill of her, and she couldn't help but retort angrily.

"No way!"

"Auntie, don't listen to his nonsense! It's a lot of fun up in the mountains!"

Her cheeks were still puffed out, and her speech was somewhat slurred.

Chen Jianji glanced at her.

"Then why do you always want to go shopping?"

"That's different!"

"What's the difference?"

Zhang Xinyi grew increasingly angry and grabbed the lunchbox from the bed board in front of him.

"Stop eating!"

Chen Jianji held the phone while raising his chopsticks.

"Hey, wait! I haven't finished eating yet."

Wang Suling's laughter and scolding could be heard over the phone at that moment.

"You brat, stop bullying Xinyi."

"I just heard you had a cold, and your dad already caught a two-year-old hen in the back hill to make soup for you to help you recover."

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. When you come back, bring Qingxue with you to our house."

Done.

Beep beep beep...

Before Chen Jianji could reply, the call was immediately disconnected.

"No, I didn't agree!"

He placed his phone on the table with a sullen expression.

I was just about to continue eating.

But just then...

Ding ding...

Chen Jianji's phone rang again.

He glanced at the screen; it was Liu Yun.

He paused.

This chubby girl is currently in Lin Qingxue's hospital room.

"You answer it, I don't want to talk."

Chen Jianji pushed the phone towards Zhang Xinyi.

"Weren't you quite the talker just now?"

Zhang Xinyi frowned, picked up her phone, and pressed the call button.

"Liu Yun, is something the matter? Have you finished eating?"

Upon hearing this...

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Liu Yun's low voice slowly rang out.

"Qingxue refused to eat anything and seemed to have barely rested; her face was frighteningly pale."

"I can't persuade him. Do you want to ask Chan Kin-kei to try?"

Zhang Xinyi's expression also tightened.

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it."

After hanging up the phone.

Zhang Xinyi looked up.

"Did you hear that?"

Chen Jianji looked away, not glancing at her.

"It's just one day. I've tried going two or three days without sleep or food. I'm younger now, so I can handle it."

He spoke in a low voice, and it was unclear who he was talking to.

"What are you babbling about?"

Zhang Xinyi patted him on the shoulder.

"It's one thing if she doesn't eat when she's healthy, but now that her fever has just subsided and she hasn't rested well, she's not eating again."

"Isn't this dangerous?"

Chen Jianji didn't say a word, and didn't even move his body.

Zhang Xinyi looked at him with an attitude of complete indifference.

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly crossed his arms and said...

"Are you avoiding her now?"

"What's there to hide from? What are you afraid of?"

Chen Jianji then turned around and glared at her.

"Should I hide?"

"What do I have to be afraid of and hide from her for? I'm injured too, okay?! Do you think it's appropriate for me to keep running around like this?!"

"Besides, I didn't eat any, so don't you think I'm not in danger?!"

...

He kept talking.

Zhang Xinyi felt her eardrums buzzing, and she suddenly reached out and made a gesture!

"stop!"

"You seem quite talkative and energetic, you don't need to worry about making a living, so go ahead and do it!"

"Get well soon so we can all go home together. Brother Liu even took time off work to wait for us!"

Chen Jianji's eyes were deep and dark.

Yes, he had promised Lin Qingxue that he would take care of her until she was discharged from the hospital.

After all, this whole thing started because of me.

If he hadn't touched the phone charger.

Things wouldn't have turned out this way.

There's really nothing to hide from.

No, he didn't dodge.

"Alright, alright, I'll go take a look."

Chen Jianji said impatiently.

Then she rolled out of bed and put on her shoes.

Footsteps sounded softly until the door to the ward opened and the person left.

Everything is perfectly normal.

Zhang Xinyi narrowed her eyes slightly.

However, this person didn't look back even once from beginning to end.

besides...

Zhang Xinyi looked down at the boxed lunch she had just snatched from her hand.

There were traces of chopsticks touching it.

The meat and rice were exactly the same.

bang~

Zhang Xinyi put the boxed lunch back on the table.

"What are these two up to now?"

......

"Qingxue, have something to eat."

"Hey, this is your favorite braised pork lately."

"I ordered this especially for you."

Liu Yun pushed the boxed lunch on the table forward again.

Lin Qingxue didn't move at all, remaining half-leaning against the headboard.

Her face was pale, and even her lips were almost bloodless.

There was also a noticeable bluish-black tinge around the eyes.

There were some barely visible bloodstains on the shoulders and cuffs of the clothes.

Her voice was hoarse, as if it had been ground by rocks.

"You've just recovered from a fever, so it's not a good time to eat something so oily."

Upon hearing this...

Liu Yun immediately pushed the other portion next to her.

"There's boiled tofu here, it's very light."

Lin Qingxue responded mechanically as always.

"I don't have much of an appetite."

Liu Yun immediately looked dejected.

She was at her wit's end.

Just then.

The ward door was pushed open.

Liu Yun immediately turned around.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw who it was.

"Chan Kin-kei! Oh no, Brother Kei! You've finally arrived!"

I heard her voice.

Lin Qingxue, who hadn't reacted much before, moved her body almost imperceptibly.

But he didn't look towards the door.

But the hand hidden under the blanket clenched for a moment.

Chan Kin-kei remained in the position of opening the door.

Seeing Liu Yun's delighted expression, he nodded.

"You go and rest first, I'll keep an eye on things."

"Okay."

Liu Yun responded and whispered a word of advice as they passed each other.

"The food is on the table; see if you can let her eat some."

Squeak...

The room door was closed.

At this moment, only he and Lin Qingxue remained in the ward.

Chen Jianji stood still for a while before finally walking over.

He sat down beside the hospital bed without letting anyone eat first.

I just picked up the medical record hanging above the bed and glanced at it.

Chen Jianji's brows furrowed immediately.

He held up the list and asked Lin Qingxue.

"You were supposed to be discharged the day after tomorrow, why has it been delayed?"

......
