hed the car keys from her, and drove himself. He was grateful that he hadn't had too much to drink earlier.He comforted Zhuo Yuyan in the car.“Don't be so nervous, you might be overthinking it.”Zhu Yu...The ward was very quiet, with only the low hum of the monitor, occasionally punctuated by Aunt Zhang from the next bed vomiting.

Shi Yandao: "Thank you all today, it's fine for me and Fefe to be here. You should all go back and rest early."

A single sentence determines the closeness or distance between people. The more so in this situation, the less he wanted to involve himself in any unnecessary entanglements. He appreciated Tang Su's kindness but also hoped she would try to stay away from him afterwards.

His stance was clear, Tang Su didn't mind: "Then let's go. The nurse just told us not to let Teacher Qin fall asleep, check his temperature every two hours and keep a record."

"Okay, okay, Shi Yan knows, don't worry about it, let's go." Zhang Cheng embraced her shoulders and pushed her out of the ward.

Tang Su and Zhang Cheng are not only longtime friends but also long-time partners, with a close relationship.

As they walked outside the ward, Tang Su couldn't help but complain: "I really don't know what Shi Yan was thinking. If he found someone who was better suited for him, someone even more compatible than me, I'd lose gracefully. But that other girl, she clearly isn't on the same page as him."

Zhang Cheng remembered when Shi Yan had sarcastically told him to read Pride and Prejudice.

So some things, you can't just look at the surface. Just like Shi Yan always gives off an image of being humble and polite, but deep down he has a gene for passion, and that girl could easily activate this part of him, making him vibrant and free. This is a kind of spiritual connection that outsiders can't understand.

So whatever outsiders call appropriate, it can't compare to the fact that he likes it.

But Tang Su didn't think so: "The life of ordinary people is just about firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Marriage is even more about the reorganization and allocation of resources between two parties. If we only pursue the hormonal surge for a while, it won't last long."

"You're being awfully rational right now." Zhang Cheng looked at her with newfound respect.

"After the breakup, I learned to think about relationships and marriage rationally."

Zhang Cheng didn't speak anymore. Too much love becomes obsession.

After they left, Lin Zhi's demeanor relaxed in the ward. Following Shi Yan's instructions, she did what she could to help.

Teacher Qin didn't really sleep well all night. She was in and out of consciousness, waking up and falling asleep intermittently. The hired nurse wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, so Shi Yan stayed by her side.

"Alright, you should head home and rest too. I'll call a car to take you back."

"No, I'll stay with you."

Lin Zhihao refused.

In the middle of the night, she was so tired that she fell asleep unconsciously leaning against the bed.

Actually, taking care of a patient is very hard. Lin Zhizhe stayed up all night, and his dark circles showed up immediately. And Shi Yan was even harder off; after the caregiver arrived the next day, he explained a few precautions and then had to return to the company to handle work. There are many things that he has to deal with, there's no way to shirk them, the company is also his responsibility.

It's not just that I feel guilty towards Teacher Qin, but also towards Lin Zixuan. I don't want her to be exposed to any hospital atmosphere, but I can't bear to leave Teacher Qin with a stranger as her caregiver. Out of desperation, I can only let Lin Zixuan watch over her from the side.

"I'll be back at noon."

"Okay, go now."

The caregiver we found is very good and has taken care of almost everything Teacher Qin needs. Lin Zhixuan just needs to stay with her and keep her company. Teacher Qin has already regained consciousness, although she is a bit weak. She looked at us with grateful eyes.

Lin Zhiyao felt very sorry for her, and admired her too. Even though she was sick, she still had such good manners and was so strong. From last night until now, he hadn't heard her complain once.

When Shi Yan finished his work at the company in the afternoon, he hurried to the hospital. This time, no matter how Lin Zhixuan refused, he insisted that she go home to rest and wouldn't allow her to come over in the evening.

Since Lin Zhixuan disagreed, he had to say:

"I still need to go to the company tomorrow morning, so you can come over again tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Shi teacher, you should rest yourself too."

"I know."

This is a long-haul battle, not something that will be better in a week or two. So Shi Yan is also trying to adjust his schedule as much as possible.

In the evening, Tang Su came again. She has a project in Senzhou this year and is collaborating with this hospital, so she came to see Teacher Qin after work.

When she saw him, Yan frowned. She immediately said, "I'm here to see Teacher Qin. You have nothing to do with this."

She came to see Teacher Qin sincerely, and she also truly wanted to find opportunities to get along with Shi Yan.

Shi Yan, having spent many years with her, naturally knew her intentions and gave a clear timeframe: "Half an hour."

Have her see Teacher Qin for half an hour.

He sat outside the ward waiting, always keeping his distance, not giving her any room for fantasy.

But Tang Su also had her stubborn side. She came to see Teacher Qin in the late afternoon and didn't plan on leaving tonight. She was already chatting with the nurse in the ward.

She is about the same age as Shi Yan and has a similar life experience. In terms of dealing with people, she is definitely much better than Lin Zhi'ao. She is not only a caregiver but even Aunt Zhang from the next bed is curious about who is Shi Yan's girlfriend: her or the young girl last night.

Teacher Qin's energy is a little better now. She is a very clear-headed person, though she likes Tang Su, she also knows that with her son's personality, it's impossible for them to be together again, so she said softly:

“Xiao Su, Auntie has someone taking care of her now. You should go back.”

Tang Su: "It's nothing, Auntie. I would just be sleeping at the hotel anyway. Why don't you stay in the hospital with me I know my way around here well, and I've already rented beds for tonight. They'll be delivered soon."

Teacher Qin: "..." is truly speechless.

Shi Yan saw that it was already over half an hour past the time he had designated, and stood at the door calling out to her: "Tang Su!"

"What's wrong" Tang Su went out and stood in front of him, asking.

In this situation, Shi Yan didn't want to say anything harsh. He just said: "I appreciate your concern for my mother. If I need your help, I will contact you."

Out of gratitude, he restrained himself and didn't directly tell her not to come back again.

“Shi Yan, I'm here to take care of Auntie because she once took good care of me. This has nothing to do with you, so you have no right to stop me.” After Tang Su finished speaking, she returned to the ward. Just as she arrived, the bedside couch she rented at the nurses' station was also delivered. She directly placed it next to Teacher Qin’s bed, her movements swift and decisive.

Late at night, Tang Su directly slept on the bedside bed, while Shi Yan sat on the other side of the bed as he did last night.

At midnight, Teacher Qin fell asleep.

On the other side, Tang Su suddenly spoke, "Shi Yan, do you still remember when I was in the hospital before We three were like this, weren't we I was lying in bed, and you and Teacher Qin sat on either side of me and kept me company all night. But back then, all I had in my heart was hatred, hatred for your indifference, hatred for your ruthlessness. You were really, really a jerk back then, you know"

In the darkness, Shi Yan remained silent.

"You're such a jerk, I thought I'd hate you for the rest of my life, but, I can't. Shi Yan, because I still love you."gether."I'm sorry, I promise to be more careful in the future."This is a sincere apology.But her assurance was already invalid to Gu Ruandong. He said very seriously:Next time, bring at least two staf...
