Chapter 1215: He Is Her Lucky Star

Shi Ran is a woman of few words and likes quiet.

Yet Yun Qitian is like a chatterbox, completely unable to stay idle.

She has protested, and while he would stop talking at the time, the peace around her ears would never last more than ten minutes before he started finding all sorts of reasons to show concern for her!

Shi Ran said helplessly, "Qitian, how about we make a deal?"

Qitian was puzzled: "What kind of deal?"

Shi Ran: "You name your price, and I'll pay to make you disappear, so I can stay alone in peace and quiet."

He clutched his chest, putting on an injured look, his tone full of sorrow: "Fine, one yuan!"

Shi Ran: "So cheap?"

Yun Qitian: "Mm, because I like you, so I gave you a discount—a rock-bottom price."

Never mind what kind of discount it was, Shi Ran really gave him one yuan, and he really did disappear.

But it didn't take long before Shi Ran had to invite him back herself; mainly, it was more troublesome when he wasn't around.

Once Yun Qitian left, the elders arrived one after another.

The Yun Family parents came to visit and ask after her health; Shi Ran couldn't exactly put on airs and refuse to see them, could she?

But socializing with elders is really not something she is good at.

She has to think carefully before speaking, considering what should be said and what should not.

And the Yun Family aunt is a bit excessively enthusiastic, asking about everything and caring about everything.

Answering... she doesn't want to; not answering... that would be impolite!

What's worse is that the aunt wants to stay and take care of her, saying that a professional caregiver is never as reassuring as one's own family, and that Shi Youxuan isn't the type to take care of people, so she isn't at ease!

Fine, the first half of what she said is correct.

Shi Youxuan is indeed not the type to take care of people, but is she?

She doesn't know herself well enough.

In terms of taking care of people, she and Shi Youxuan are two of a kind; neither should judge the other, and she might even be worse than Shi Youxuan.

At this moment, Shi Ran had already started missing the time when Yun Qitian was around, and the people and events that followed made her miss him even more!

The Yun Family parents finally left, and immediately after, her aunt and Xi Fu arrived.

Of course, they wouldn't be as talkative as Ma Ling'er, but they brought the triplets with them.

The triplets are lively and cheerful; the three girls are like three skylarks, and the entire Hospital Ward is filled with the sound of "chattering."

But since they are here to visit her, she can't exactly show them the door.

The three girls surrounded her hospital bed, their three pairs of bright, watery eyes staring at her as if they wanted to see into her heart.

Shi Ran has always been confident, but now she is feeling a bit unnerved by the staring.

She asked: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Youyou: "Cousin, you are so smart; even if the other party was speeding, you should have been able to react, so why did you crash? I guess you were distracted at the time, thinking about something."

Shi Ran:...

She guessed right.

Did it have to be so accurate?

She suddenly felt that just being naughty was fine; just focus on being naughty and don't come to study her—she doesn't want to be seen through.

Especially being seen through by cousins much younger than her; it's very embarrassing, okay?

But this was only the beginning, not the end.

Taotao: "The thing that could make our cousin lose focus definitely wouldn't be anything else; I guess it has to do with that person."

Shi Ran:...

Mengmeng chimed in: "That person let Cousin down, yet Cousin still can't stop thinking about him. Would you say Cousin is too silly or that person is too bad?"

Youyou: "Who knows? Mom said that no one can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart; there is no fixed standard for this sort of thing."

Taotao sighed: "The adult world is really complicated; it's better to be a child."

Mengmeng and Youyou agreed together: "That's right, it's better to be a child—simple and happy; it would be great if we never had to grow up."

Shi Ran was completely speechless.

These three cousins are little devils, almost becoming spirits.

The three of them keep saying it's good to be a child, that a child's world is simple!

But does what they say have even the slightest bit to do with being simple?

They've seen through everything.

Jian Yining and his wife noticed that the children were talking too much, which didn't seem beneficial to their niece's recovery, so they apologized first and then took the children away.

After they left, her own parents finally arrived late!

Shi Ran doesn't need to act like a lady in front of her parents; she lay on the hospital bed without any image and complained: "Mom, make a sign that says 'Please Do Not Disturb' and hang it on my Hospital Ward door."

Shi Youxuan: "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

Shi Ran: "I think it's fine."

Shi Youxuan: "Are you sure?"

Shi Ran: "Sure."

Sheng Hanyu sat on the sofa, scanning his daughter twice with a helpless look.

Sigh!

Shi Ran is a smart child, but she still can't outmaneuver her mother.

He knows what's going on, but he can't say too much.

If he warns his daughter, he will offend his wife; between his daughter and his wife... of two evils, choose the lesser!

Having received her daughter's definitive answer, Shi Youxuan said to her husband, "Hanyu, you heard what our daughter said, right? Please go to the trouble of making a sign yourself and hanging it on the door of the Hospital Ward."

"Thanks for the trouble, Dad." Shi Ran was quite cheerful.

In truth, such a small matter could be handled by ordering anyone to do it, but Shi Youxuan had her husband go do it himself because she wanted to have a private word with her daughter, and it would be inconvenient with her husband present.

Once her husband went out, she sat by her daughter's bed, unusually serious and earnest: "Ranran, tell Mom the truth, were you distracted when you were driving?"

Shi Ran:...

She had thought no one knew; it turned out her thoughts had all been seen through.

It was fine if they saw through it, but why did they have to ask?

"No, I wasn't!" she denied.

"Fine, I believe you. If you say no, then no. But Ranran, you must remember, there is no possibility for you and Qi Heng anymore. Forget him! Use all your strength to forget him!"

On this point, the daughter was not as carefree as the mother.

Shi Youxuan could manage to pick things up and put them down with ease.

But Shi Ran could not; her personality was like Sheng Hanyu's—cold on the surface, but with a heart full of tangled emotions inside.

"Mm, Mom, don't worry, I will." Whether she could actually do it was another matter, but she agreed anyway.

Sheng Hanyu returned with the sign and hung it straight and proper on the door of the Hospital Ward—"Do Not Disturb!"

Then the couple left the Hospital Ward and went home.

Shi Ran let out a long sigh of relief, thinking she could finally quietly collect her thoughts alone, but she was happy too soon.

"Bang!"

The door was wrecked.

She first thought it was her younger brothers, but then she saw her Great Aunt and Aunt Nianyin standing at the doorway, with the door lying on the floor.

"What... are you two trying to do?"

Nianyin looked astonished: "Ranran, you're okay?"

Shi Ran:...

She was even more astonished: "Of course I'm okay, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

Ji Yingjie and Nianyin knew she was hospitalized due to a car accident.

Moreover, they had come to see her the very first moment, as it was quite convenient—they were all staying in the same hospital, and even on the same floor.

But what kind of scene were they making now?

Ji Yingjie provided the answer.

She blamed Shi Ran: "Why on earth did you hang a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door? I thought you had been kidnapped, so I came to rescue you!"

Shi Ran:...

Hanging a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door—didn't that mean she didn't want to be disturbed?
