Chapter 343: Human Joys and Sorrows Aren

In the afternoon, a few more people entered the ward.

But this time the visitors were neither the surviving patients' relatives who came to thank Xu Mo, nor media passersby or hospital nurses, but the four of Yang Jingxuan, Shen Manni, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin.

"Why are you here?" Xu Mo was momentarily stunned when he saw the four entering the ward.

In the morning they had just asked Xu Mo where he was, and by the afternoon they were already here.

"Of course we're here to take care of you," Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"I'm not injured; why would you take care of me?"

"Just because I'm not injured doesn't mean you can't take care of me?" Zhou Qiaoqiao stepped forward, leaned close to Xu Mo's ear and whispered, "Actually it's because without you at home we can't sleep at night; the villa feels empty and it's too scary!"

She spoke very softly, but the ward was that large and extremely quiet, so every word of hers was heard without omission by Chen Ke, who lay on the adjacent bed.

Chen Ke: w(?? Д??)w

Can't sleep at home because Xu Mo isn't there?

That sentence carries a lot of information!

So Xu Mo is now living together with the four of them, in a cohabitation arrangement??

Thinking that, Chen Ke's surprised eyes kept darting back and forth between Xu Mo and the four women… so all four are Xu Mo's girlfriends?

He doesn't have a single girlfriend, yet Xu Mo has four!? And they're all so beautiful!

Moreover, it seems Xu Mo's four girlfriends get along well; when they entered, they were arm‑in‑arm, just like close best friends.

That's absurd!

Chen Ke's mindset collapsed instantly.

Where the hell can I argue about this!

How on earth does Xu Mo manage all this? Could he have some talent that others lack!?

"This ward is so small; I'll go get you a new room!" An Youyi, who is somewhat affluent, suggested.

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Mo to respond, she turned and left the ward.

When she returned, the room had already been changed.

"Alright, let's go. We've moved to a premium VIP ward; its environment is a bit better and the space is larger than this one."

Guided by a hospital nurse, the group arrived at the premium VIP ward, and the fruits, supplements, and other gifts from the previous room were repeatedly carried over to the new ward.

After the room change, Chen Ke remained lying on his bed, and Xu Mo likewise lay on his bed to rest.

But the two received vastly different treatment.

Chen Ke could only lie there, passing time by playing on his phone.

Next to him, Xu Mo was surrounded by four stunning women massaging his shoulders and legs, feeding and drinking for him.

"Come on, open your mouth, eat the banana, ah…"

"Have a sip of milk; eating it dry can make you choke."

"Is this pressure okay? Is it maybe too heavy?"

"Get up for a moment; I'll tilt the bed a bit so you can lean back more comfortably."

"Want to watch TV? I'll turn it on for you."

"……"

Chen Ke: "╥﹏╥..."

It's boring, really, not interesting at all; that's the only thought Chen Ke has right now.

Xu Mo, though uninjured, still has people attending to him; as for him, he can only use his uninjured hand to scroll his phone to pass the time…

He suddenly understood the saying, "Human joys and sorrows are not shared."

It's so disheartening, truly disheartening!

Originally, Han Fei intended for Xu Mo to stay and keep the hospitalized Chen Ke company, since he would surely be bored alone in the hospital, and Xu Mo agreed to stay with Chen Ke.

With Xu Mo there, Chen Ke wouldn't be so bored; the two could chat and kill time together.

But now the situation…

How could Xu Mo be staying just to keep Chen Ke company and pass the time?

Isn't this just adding insult to injury!

He's a guy with nothing going on, yet his treatment is far better than that of a wounded patient; who could stand that?

First, visitors kept coming to thank Xu Mo, bringing all sorts of gifts; each person gave several items, so many that the ward became piled high with presents.

Then the junior nurses gave preferential treatment, caring for the completely uninjured Xu Mo far more than for the wounded Chen Ke.

That alone would be enough.

But what's worse follows.

Yang Jingxuan, Zhou Qiaoqiao, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin all actually came to take care of Xu Mo!

The four gathered together, pounding legs, kneading shoulders, feeding and drinking.

From Chen Ke's perspective, this isn't care at all; it's a knife thrust into his heart!

He's a perpetual singleton; how could he endure this?

Consequently, Chen Ke suddenly didn't want to stay hospitalized any longer; he wanted to be discharged, right now.

A fracture doesn't necessarily require hospitalization; recovering at home is also possible.

"Xu Mo, could you handle the discharge paperwork for me? I… I don't really like the smell of the hospital disinfectant; I want to go home to recover. It's not a particularly serious issue, so being in the hospital or not makes no difference."

"Huh?" Xu Mo was startled. "Discharge? You just got admitted, why are you already eager to leave? At least stay a while, observe, then discharge."

"Listen to me, stay a bit longer for observation; that's better for your health," Xu Mo said, refusing Chen Ke's request to be discharged.

Chen Ke forced a wry smile, thinking, if I stay any longer I won't be able to endure it!

His body actually has no serious problems; observation or not makes no difference, even a direct discharge wouldn't matter—it's the emotional distress that hurts…

……

Evening.

In the high-end VIP ward, only Chen Ke remained.

Because the four girls used the excuse that they'd be scared to sleep at night, they pulled Xu Mo to a hotel to keep them company; of course, they were staying in a suite, with each person having their own room.

At 11:30 p. m., Chen Ke was getting a bit tired from playing on his phone and was about to sleep when suddenly a sharp scream came from the hospital.

"Holy shit! Fake corpse!! Murder!! Don't come over!!"

The hospital was especially quiet at night; in such an environment, this scream had strong penetrating power, almost able to pierce the entire hospital.

"Fake corpse? Murder?" Chen Ke instantly woke up, sprang to his feet, and rushed toward the sound.

This sound came from the first floor; when Chen Ke arrived, he saw several people lying on that floor's hallway.

After quickly running over to check, Chen Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief; the people lying on the ground had merely fainted.

Chen Ke prepared to shout awake someone to ask about the situation.

Unexpectedly, the instant he shook awake one of the young guys, the latter shoved him hard and shouted loudly, "Ghost! Ghost! Don't come over!"
