Chapter 2067: Wanting to Meet Again Sooner
Sui Xin shook off Qi Fengyang's hand, knitted her brows, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qi Fengyang did not answer, but instead said, "If I were you, I certainly wouldn't risk going in."
"I'm just visiting a patient, how is that a risk!"
"Sui Xin, haven't you noticed? This setup is just waiting for you to come!"
Sui Xin knew.
But she chose to deceive herself.
Now that Qi Fengyang had said it out loud, Sui Xin stared at him with sharp eyes: "What do you know?"
"I don't know anything; what I just said was merely a guess. And what about you?"
"Me, what?"
"You, what are you secretly plotting?"
Sui Xin looked away and said stubbornly, "Whatever I do has nothing to do with you!"
"But I want to care about you."
"No need!"
Sui Xin was keeping people at a distance.
Her behavior made Qi Fengyang sigh helplessly.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Fengyang changed his approach: "The performance is coming up soon; I'm very worried that your current state will affect the overall effect of the performance."
"Then you can rest assured, it definitely won't!"
"Words alone are not proof; it still depends on your performance. For the sake of the career you love, please wait until after the performance to deal with troublesome matters."
Qi Fengyang's tone became a bit more serious.
And the reason he gave made it difficult for Sui Xin to continue saying willful things.
Sui Xin fell silent.
Then she turned her head to look at Zhang He's hospital room.
"By the way, have you gone to visit Jiang Mobai?"
In the midst of the quiet, Qi Fengyang asked a question.
This question made Sui Xin's expression dim.
She lowered her eyes and murmured, "I have."
"Is Jiang Mobai still refusing to accept your good intentions?"
Sui Xin chuckled lightly, which counted as an admission.
Then she said in a self-deprecating tone, "Mobai's heart is not with me; even if I am good to him, he cannot see it."
"You, you just like to bring trouble upon yourself. There is clearly someone who treats you like a treasure."
Qi Fengyang's words held a hidden meaning.
Sui Xin understood clearly.
But she showed an annoyed expression because of it.
She didn't want to stay with Qi Fengyang anymore, so she turned to leave.
Yet, the moment she turned, she stopped in her tracks.
Zhang He's and Jiang Mobai's hospital rooms were on different floors.
But from where Sui Xin was standing, she happened to be able to see Jiang Mobai's room just by looking up.
And at this moment, someone walked to the door of Jiang Mobai's room.
... It was Su Kexuan!
Su Kexuan was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms.
She knocked on the door and then pushed it open to walk inside.
Jiang Mobai's injuries were more serious than Zhang He's.
Not only was his leg in a cast, but his head was also wrapped in gauze.
But his spirits were good.
Especially after seeing Su Kexuan, his eyes became bright and sparkling.
He even wanted to smile.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Mobai restrained his smile, and his voice carried a hint of complaint: "So you finally know to come see me."
Su Kexuan placed the bouquet on the table and said, "I've been busy lately, only just found the time."
"Hmph, what a busy person indeed."
Su Kexuan did not trade barbs with Jiang Mobai; she asked after him politely and distantly: "Are you feeling better?"
"Not good, everything hurts. Sigh, I don't know when I'll be healed. After I recover, I don't know how much time it will take to return to my previous state. Perhaps I will never return to my peak moment."
Jiang Mobai was wallowing in self-pity.
He hoped to use this method to gain Su Kexuan's concern.
Who knew that this woman, far from being concerned, was instead excessively frank: "Then give up racing and go home to help Li Xingyan manage the family business."
Her words made Jiang Mobai fall silent.
After a moment, he said weakly: "Actually... I can still hold on a little longer."
Su Kexuan had already heard that Jiang Mobai was being insincere just now.
But she didn't expect this guy to cave so quickly.
It really was... a bit funny.
Su Kexuan couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
Her smile was warm and sweet, yet it made Jiang Mobai feel his face burning.
At a loss, Jiang Mobai issued a complaint: "Are you here to visit a patient? Instead of saying something nice, you're scaring people!"
Jiang Mobai's complaint was quite reasonable.
Su Kexuan reflected for a moment, then changed her tune and said, "Your luck will turn for the better."
She suddenly became so serious.
Jiang Mobai wasn't even used to it.
He looked into Su Kexuan's eyes, wanting to know if she was being earnest or just joking with him when she said that.
But...
With their eyes locked, Jiang Mobai didn't find an answer; instead, he stared blankly, lost in thought.
In the end, it was Su Kexuan who gave a light cough, and only then did Jiang Mobai uncomfortably shift his gaze away.
Compared to Jiang Mobai, Su Kexuan was very calm; she folded her hands in front of her and said, "I won't disturb your rest anymore."
What does that mean?
She's leaving?
Jiang Mobai found it inconceivable.
He opened his mouth and immediately questioned her: "Leaving after just one look? Do you think this is just clocking in!"
"I just don't want to disturb your rest."
"But I don't want to rest right now!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Keep me... company and chat; recovering from injuries is very boring."
Jiang Mobai spoke righteously.
But in reality, he was feeling guilty.
Su Kexuan did not agree to his proposal either: "We don't have anything to talk about; we'll start arguing in less than three sentences."
"But since you walked in, we've talked for more than three sentences; have we argued?"
"That's because I'm letting you have your way."
"Then... let me have my way a little longer."
This slightly affected and pretentious remark made Su Kexuan raise her eyebrows slightly.
She felt Jiang Mobai was very strange.
And the source of this strangeness...
Su Kexuan stared at Jiang Mobai's head.
She wondered if a head injury could actually change a person's habits of thought.
She stared for a bit too long.
Jiang Mobai asked uncomfortably, "What are you looking at!"
"Nothing, you should just focus on recovering."
So, she was still going to leave...
Jiang Mobai felt a bit annoyed, and a bit disappointed.
However, he did not try to keep Su Kexuan again, but instead said, "Can I ask a favor of you?"
"What is it?"
"I want to eat beef baozi from Dong Ji Baozi Pu; next time you come, can you bring me some?"
The familiar shop name made Su Kexuan somewhat surprised: "That baozi shop is still open?"
"Yeah, I ate there once right after I returned to the country."
This baozi shop could be considered an old establishment.
Su Kexuan used to be a regular there too.
But ever since she went abroad, she had never eaten them again.
Hearing Jiang Mobai mention it now, she felt a bit sentimental.
She even recalled some small things from the past...
But upon touching a certain memory, Su Kexuan immediately regained her composure.
Then, she made a promise to Jiang Mobai: "Fine, I'll bring you some next time."
"Better make it soon, I can't wait."
Jiang Mobai indeed couldn't wait.
But he wasn't impatient to eat beef baozi.
It was rather...
Wanting to see Su Kexuan again sooner.
