Chapter 648: with translation of chapter title

Shi Yong gave a hehe laugh.

He didn't speak.

Just then,

A female nurse's voice came from outside.

"Brother Yong, it's time to take your medicine."

A young, pretty female nurse entered, holding the medicine.

"Ah, Xiao Qi, you're here—you're on duty tonight, right?" Shi Yong asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, Brother Yong, I'm on duty tonight."

"Your recovery is going well; I see all the indicators have dropped." Xiao Qi smiled sweetly.

Shi Yong also smiled,

"Xiao Qi, this is mainly thanks to you; with your help, my body has recovered. Without you, there would be no rebirth of me, Shi Yong. Xiao Qi, I'm being discharged tomorrow." Shi Yong looked at Xiao Qi and said helplessly.

"Being discharged—great!"

"After discharge, Brother Yong, you mustn't eat and drink recklessly outside."

"You must take your medicine on schedule; alcohol is absolutely off-limits now." Xiao Qi earnestly instructed Shi Yong.

Shi Yong nodded repeatedly like a well-behaved child toward Xiao Qi.

I feel redundant here.

Watching Shi Yong and Xiao Qi, I truly didn't know what to say.

Whatever I say would be inappropriate.

So I retreated from the ward.

"This Shi Yong, I said he should change, become a more delicate man,"

Turns out he didn't want to be discharged, and there's a reason for that.

Well done, you Shi Yong, you've been messing around outside again.

I wanted to tell Ya Ling something, but then I thought,

Over these years, Shi Yong's love life has been almost a blank slate; his years of marriage to Ya Ling were spent in constant fighting and scolding.

He has never truly experienced a woman's genuine feelings.

In hotels and clubs, those women have no genuine feelings; they're only in it for the money.

That rough-hewn man Shi Yong can actually be moved by genuine emotion,

which is not bad.

In a lifetime, one should experience everything at least once.

I put down my phone. I only hope Shi Yong will cherish this relationship.

I walked out of the ward smiling.

I came the next morning to pick up Shi Yong upon his discharge.

The sun was shining, the sky clear and vast,

The autumn wind blew, making one instantly feel that deep autumn had arrived.

I first handled Shi Yong's discharge paperwork, then went to the ward where he was on the phone.

Seeing me enter, he gestured with his hand for me to stay quiet.

He spoke with a smile on his face,

"Xiao Qi, to be honest, I don't want to leave this hospital; it's really great here. You're a good girl."

"Brother, I've lived this long and still haven't met a girl as kind as you."

"Xiao Qi, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

"No, no, just a simple meal, to thank you for your care."

I waited inside, feeling annoyed. Who says Shi Yong lacks a tender side? It depends on who he's with.

If Ya Ling found out, her heart would break.

Watching Shi Yong's affectionate expression on the phone,

I never expected Shi Yong to be like this.

I checked my phone; it's been over half an hour.

"Shi Yong, that's about enough. We still have to return to Hulutao today."

I really couldn't hold back any longer.

"Xiao Qi, I still have things to do; after I return from Hulutao, I'll treat you to a meal. I miss you, Xiao Qi."

Shi Yong hung up the phone reluctantly.

"Shi Yong, you're not falling in love, are you?" I asked directly.

"Brother, what's love?" Shi Yong asked, pretending not to understand.

"What's love? You're on the phone with that nurse, all lovey-dovey— isn't that love?" I said while packing up.

"This is called love, but we really aren't; we're just pure friends."

Xiao Qi's meticulous care during my hospitalization moved me; plus, we share common topics.

We chatted very happily.

"We really are just friends." Shi Yong explained.

"Alright, I believe you; you're just friends. Friends only exist in two situations." I laughed.

"What are those two situations?" Shi Yong asked.

"One where you can sleep together, and one where you cannot."

"Vulgar, brother, how can you be so vulgar?" Shi Yong couldn't help but sigh.

"I've become vulgar, didn't you used to be like this often? You like watching small films, you like discussing some life issues with Hou Laoban."

"I just said the two words 'get on bed', it's vulgar, really. Hurry up and tidy up your stuff." I said angrily.

"That's the past, I've changed, I want to live life again. From now on I am someone who has left lowbrow tastes." Shi Yong said solemnly.

"Alright, you're serious. Everyone else is vulgar. Let's go." I said.

"No, I want to wash my face before going out, Xiao Qi said she likes clean men."

"I take a shower every day."

"Going out requires washing face and combing hair."

"A man must pay attention to his image." Shi Yong said that and went into the washroom to start cleaning up.

Damn, this illness has changed Shi Yong's living habits.

It's against heaven.

Shi Yong, who used to never wash his hands or face, now washes his face voluntarily.

Really interesting. After Shi Yong finishes washing his face and combing his hair and comes out,

Face full of fragrance.

I asked: "Shi Yong, what did you put on your face, why is it so fragrant?"

"Xiao Qi bought it for me, sunscreen, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle." Shi Yong said proudly.

"Now Xiao Qi's farts are all fragrant, you and Xiao Qi's affair, does Ya Ling know? Shi Yong, you're not right about this." I criticized Shi Yong.

"Brother, what words, so unpleasant. Xiao Qi, she's a very good girl, you can't say that about her."

"Ya Ling, knowing is also fine, don't worry, we're just friends, I have my limits." Shi Yong said.

"That's good, I'm just afraid you'll break the limit, then it'll be trouble. By the way, have you contacted Ya Ya?" I picked up my things and came out of the house.

"Ya Ling and Ya Ya contacted by phone, but after saying a few words they got angry and stopped chatting."

This little girl, her mouth is full of bird language, we can't understand at all.

This kid is done, as soon as she goes out she doesn't recognize her six relatives.

Back then, we really shouldn't have let that bitch Yang Tao take Ya Ya away,

"raise this kid to be useless." Shi Yong angrily cursed Yang Tao.

"Shi Yong, you swore. Your quality needs to improve."

"Oh dear, whenever I mention Yang Tao I get angry. If Xiao Qi heard she'd definitely criticize me, I'll definitely pay attention." Shi Yong said immediately.

"Alright, you're discharged, stop always talking about Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you need to change your mind." I said and opened the car door.

Shi Yong ignored me,

He stood in front of the car, looking back at the hospital ward, his reluctant expression still showing on his face.

"Shi Yong, if you don't want to be discharged, you should have said so earlier, then I wouldn't have needed to ask Dean Yang. If really not possible, we'll just redo the hospitalization procedures, you keep staying." I said while looking at Shi Yong.

"No, let's go, there's no banquet in the world that doesn't end."

"Don't worry, I Shi Yong will definitely come back." Shi Yong said full of confidence.

What is this, first time hearing that after discharge one wants to come back again.

I don't want to discourage Shi Yong anymore.

I started the car,

Shi Yong sat in the car,

took out his phone, not knowing what he was looking at.

Our car, after leaving the hospital, headed straight toward Beishan.

Zaocheng Xin Cheng is about ten or so kilometers from Beishan.

Back then why was the site chosen near Beishan to build the new city,

mainly because transportation is convenient, the highway is just east of Beishan, and there are no coal resources underground near Beishan. Building houses here is safe.

The new city is built in a mountain hollow upon entering the Beishan mountain area. On a slope.

Surrounded by mountains on two sides. The environment is quite good.

Nowadays the good places are, besides temples, these office buildings.
