To avoid unnecessary trouble, Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang quickly said goodbye to Nagasaki Asuna and left the clinic ahead of time to wait by the roadside.
Shortly afterward, a convoy of black luxury cars stopped in front of the two men.
This time, Lin Xuanqi didn't wait for the bodyguard to open the door. She hurriedly got out of the car and came to the two of them with a gloomy face. "Who did this?"
Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang, whose faces were covered with gauze, looked at each other.
"Theoretically speaking, it's the ultimate path," Cheng Fei said seriously.
"Is there no law anymore? I'll have the Metropolitan Police Department arrest this person and settle accounts with them." Lin Xuanqi gritted her teeth and took out her phone.
"Forget it, Xuanqi, we beat those hundred-plus guys pretty badly too, so we've settled it." Cheng Fei quickly stopped her.
He intentionally or unintentionally avoided mentioning Nagasaki Asuna.
Ye Shuang remained silent.
"More than a hundred people bullying the two of you? How can that be considered?" Lin Xuanqi was even more annoyed and dodged him to look up her phone number.
“I think it’s more appropriate to find the mastermind behind this if we want revenge.” Cheng Fei pressed down on her phone.
“I think so too,” Ye Shuang said.
Lin Xuanqi took a deep breath and barely managed to stop, looking at the two of them. "Then let's go to the hospital first. Have you had any tests done?"
"No need for any minor cuts or scrapes, right, Master Ye?" Cheng Fei didn't want any trouble. If it weren't for the need to put on a show, he would have torn off the gauze from his face.
"Don't tell me you don't need me! What if there's a fracture? What if there's internal bleeding?" Lin Xuanqi glared at him irritably and shoved him into the car. "Hurry up, I'll go to the hospital with you."
Under Lin Xuanqi's pressure, the two were sent to a private hospital and underwent a series of examinations, but the final result showed that there was nothing seriously wrong.
"You two get some rest. Don't worry about it tomorrow. I'll take care of things over there." Lin Xuanqi left the two of them in a private room and hurriedly left the hospital.
"Xuanqi really doesn't waste a single moment," Cheng Fei remarked, watching the figure surrounded by bodyguards.
"Miss has always been like this, you'll get used to it." Ye Shuang said indifferently before returning to her ward.
Cheng Fei shrugged and dragged his tired body away.
Agility: 7 (Excellent) → 8 (Exceptional)
"Not bad?" The boy smacked his lips.
……
As night deepened, Ye Shuang lay on her comfortable hospital bed, frowning and staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning.
After a long while, she picked up her phone and opened a WeChat friend whose profile picture was a Shiba Inu. The two had never chatted before.
She typed and deleted the message several times before finally sending it.
"Are you asleep?"
"Master Ye, you actually messaged me?"
The other party replied instantly.
The girl automatically pictured the other person feigning surprise in her mind.
Ye Shuang put down her phone, got out of bed, went straight to the next ward, opened the door, and went inside.
The ward resembled a hotel suite. Ye Shuang peered into the bedroom through the living room; the bed was empty.
Turning around, I heard rustling sounds coming from the kitchen.
The girl walked in slowly and saw the boy pull up a chair and sit by the window. His tall figure in a white hospital gown had a lonely and melancholy air about him, and he was looking down, seemingly doing something.
"Cheng Fei," she said softly.
"Huh?" Cheng Fei, who was slurping his instant noodles, turned around and quickly slurped the noodles into his mouth. "Master Ye, what brings you here?"
Ye Shuang opened her mouth.
"Hungry? The instant noodles at the hospital are pretty good, I can cook them for you." The boy said seriously.
"Why didn't you have someone deliver your food?" Ye Shuang asked hesitantly.
"I'm not used to ordering people around. Anyway, I'm fine with anything that's edible." The boy ate instant noodles quickly, seemingly very hungry.
Ye Shuang stared at him, hesitant to speak.
"Master Ye, what brings you here?" The boy looked up after finishing his meal. "You can't be bored, that's not like you."
"I have something to say to you." Ye Shuang straightened her back and her expression became serious.
The boy carefully looked her up and down, his expression hardening. "I'm sorry, Xuanqi is the only sun in my heart, and there's no room for any other girl."
"Be careful with your words, or I'll beat you up." Ye Shuang raised her eyebrows and swung her fist.
"So what do you want to say?" The boy seemed relieved.
The air in the ward was silent in the darkness of night.
“I really didn’t expect you to dare to come back today. I didn’t expect you to become so strong either…” Ye Shuang looked directly into the boy’s eyes, paused, and said, “I admit that I underestimated you before. I’m sorry.”
As the girl spoke, she extended her small hand to the boy, as if to make peace.
Cheng Fei looked at her face, then at her outstretched hand, and remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Shuang frowned.
The young man looked at her with a subtle expression, "Master Ye, you're a bit too frank."
"There's no such thing as being frank or not, I'm just telling the truth." The girl turned her face away and withdrew her hand.
"You're putting me in a difficult position," the boy said, smacking his lips.
Ye Shuang frowned, displeased. "What's so difficult about it? Just say it if you don't want to accept it. Anyway, I'm just saying it to make sure I have a clear conscience."
“Then I also have something to tell you.” Cheng Fei stood up and came to her.
Because of the height difference, the boy looked down while the girl looked up.
"Confess what?" Ye Shuang asked, her gaze shifting uneasy.
"I want to say something to you..." the boy began slowly.
"Cheng Fei, don't misunderstand." The girl interrupted him as if she was worried about something.
“Master Ye, let me finish.” The boy pouted. “I’ve always been prejudiced against you. At first, I thought you were going to run away, but I didn’t expect you to be so righteous.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy hugged the girl tightly and patted her on the back. "So we're even."
Ye Shuang instinctively grabbed his collar, her expression turning cold. "Cheng Fei, don't do anything rash!"
"Hey Master Ye, I was just expressing my feelings. A little hug isn't enough, is it? You won't be riding on me for much longer." The boy raised his hands in surrender.
"Can you please stop being like this..." The girl let go of him, almost in a frenzy.
"Flirtatious?" the boy said for her.
"Anyway, you better watch yourself. Teaching is teaching, and regular activities are regular activities. If you touch me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Ye Shuang said those words in a stern tone, and without waiting for his reply, she turned and left.
"This is the last time." Cheng Fei watched her leave and patted his stomach.
"Damn, I'm still hungry..."
The boy started cooking instant noodles again.
……
223. Cheng Fei was tricked by Nagasaki Asuna.
The next day.
The two were theoretically still hospitalized, but in reality, they were perfectly fine. They just didn't care about spending Lin Xuanqi's money; otherwise, Cheng Fei would have been discharged at lightning speed.
Ye Shuang said she was going back to the hotel to read comics, leaving the boy alone.
So Cheng Fei opened WeChat and sent a message to the tea ceremony teacher.
"Having been granted a day of sick leave for a work injury, does the yakuza heiress have any ideas about what to do?"
"Cheng Fei, really, I've already said I'm not like that..."
"Cheng Fei, would you like to come find me here?"
The girl sent an address directly.
Cheng Fei hailed a taxi and showed the driver the address.
The gray-bearded driver took the boy to a place in the suburbs and chuckled as he charged him a hefty fare, which pained the boy greatly.
After getting off the bus, Cheng Fei looked left and right and found himself standing at a lonely bus stop. The straight road stretched into the distance, with mountains on the left and a river meandering across the plain on the right. It didn't look like a place where anyone lived at all.
In that moment, a soft, delicate body suddenly embraced him from behind, wrapping her arms around his front.
Cheng Fei looked at those familiar little hands and pouted, "Nana, you're so good at hiding, are you actually a ghost? Is this your graveyard?"
"Nana isn't a ghost, Nana is your cat." The girl moved around to face him and buried her face in his chest.
"So what exactly happened yesterday?" Cheng Fei skillfully pulled her aside.
“Cheng Fei, you’ll know once you come with me.” Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, winked, and took his hand.
There was an asphalt road next to the bus stop leading into the quiet mountains, which Cheng Fei did not notice at first.
After walking uphill for a while, ancient courtyard walls with white walls and blue tiles appeared by the roadside.
Cheng Fei was filled with respect. "Nana, don't tell me this is your home."
“This is my maternal grandmother’s house,” the girl said, her hands behind her back.
Cheng Fei thought for a moment, "Is it the grandmother who told you to strive for what you want without hesitation?"
"Yes." The girl nodded, her tone casual. "She passed away a few days ago, and we're holding a memorial service here today."
"Please accept my condolences." Cheng Fei looked down to check his formal attire, and at the same time understood why Nagasaki Asuna was dressed in all black.
"Would it be inappropriate for me to come?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. She'll definitely like Cheng Fei if she sees him. She secretly told me to seize the opportunity and not let it slip by." The girl's tone was firm.
Cheng Fei opened his mouth, but still didn't make a comment.
I always thought he would be a very lively old man, although he's quite lively now.
Asuna Nagasaki led the boy to a large gate.
Seeing the scene inside, Cheng Fei felt that something was not quite right. "Nana, I remember you told me this before, but it didn't feel like this?"
"Which aspect is Cheng Fei referring to?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked, puzzled.
"You said your mother remarried and had a daughter, and she doesn't care about you..."
"Well, so I grew up at my maternal grandmother's house, is there anything wrong with that?" The girl tilted her head.
“Nothing’s wrong.” Cheng Fei paused. “It’s just that I thought you and your grandmother were having a pretty tough time…”
"Yes, my maternal grandfather passed away early, and my maternal grandmother and I were quite pitiful." The girl nodded earnestly.
"Is this what you call pitiful? Then what am I?" The boy was silent for a moment, then looked up.
What appeared before him was the kind of traditional Japanese mansion that he had only seen in movies and TV shows.
As you pass through the gate, you can see a spacious courtyard, and at the end stands an imposing, tall building.
The boy's complex feelings at this moment were like visiting a historical site, only to find that the friend who brought him there said that everything in front of him was her family's property.
Cheng Fei realized that Shen Xi was right.
He was completely fooled by Nagasaki Asuna, this island enchantress who had been acting pitiful and helpless in front of him the whole time.
She said she had a mental disorder, she said she was depressed, she said she would die if she left you.
In fact, her old house is over a thousand square meters, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with a yard big enough to play football, no less impressive than Lin Xuanqi's manor in Nanwan.
The boy was disillusioned with this world full of lies and deception.
"Cheng Fei, let's go," Nagasaki Asuna said softly, pulling him forward as he walked stiffly.
