Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

Li Qing's parents, upon learning the truth, were struck as if by five thunderclaps, unable to believe their daughter would actually do such a thing.

After the initial shock, the two were of one mind, shifting their resentment onto Wang Fan, believing he had seduced their daughter and caused such consequences.

At three in the morning, the couple stormed into the hospital in a threatening manner, intending to coerce and bribe the party involved into compromising, dropping the lawsuit, and settling privately.

Wang Fan was wheeled out of the operation room; although awake, his breath was still very weak.

Guben spoke on his behalf, cooperating with the Lawyer to negotiate with Li Qing's parents.

Li Qing's parents initially insisted it was Wang Fan's fault and demanded two hundred thousand to settle the matter.

Guben gave no ground, and a few words shut the two of them down.

After a heated exchange of words, the final result was that the Li Family compensated Wang Fan one million for medical expenses and guaranteed to send Li Qing to Germany to study abroad, completely severing their relationship.

Although Wang Fan thought Li Qing was a troublemaker and felt somewhat guilty toward her, after listening to Guben's Suggestion, he forcibly suppressed his resentment and gave up the plan to hunt her down.

——

Day broke, and Li Qing's parents left.

The proxy Lawyer handed the one million check left by the two to Guben.

Guben's performance in the negotiation was impressive, making this Senior Brother of his from the law school unable to help but feel moved.

The waves behind push the waves ahead; this Junior Brother had not yet graduated, and this Senior Brother of his was about to be slapped onto the beach.

"Guben, what are your plans after graduation? Want to come to my Law Firm?"

So that his Junior Brother would not become his rival, he decisively developed the idea of poaching him.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Guben withdrew five thousand yuan in advance as a Labor Fee, put it in an Envelope, and handed it to this nominal Senior Brother.

"Forget the money; consider it Senior Brother making a friend in you."

The Lawyer did not take it and continued to persuade: "Our Law Firm is very famous; you can consider it......."

"Actually, right now, I don't have any concrete plans for the future......"

Guben smiled and declined: "Although I am currently double-majoring in law and computer science, personally, I feel more interested in computers."

"Fine then."

The Lawyer smiled helplessly, took out a Business Card from his upper coat pocket and handed it to him: "This is my private Phone Call; contact me anytime you change your mind. The Door of our Law Firm is always open to you."

"Thanks."

Guben put the Business Card into his wallet in front of him, then handed over the Envelope containing the money.

The Lawyer insisted on not taking it, exchanged a few polite pleasantries with him, and left the Hospital.

——

Ward.

"One million buys a life; she's lucky."

Wang Fan glanced at the one million check and let out a disdainful snort from his Mouth.

"Senior Brother Hu insisted on not taking the money......"

Guben, having stayed up all night, wearily rubbed his brow: "The legal fees are waived; I'll go to the Bank to cash the check and transfer it to your own account."

"Thanks, Old Iron."

Wang Fan grinned: "This time I owe you my life; if you ever have trouble, I'll risk my life to accompany a gentleman......"

"Enough, stop talking nonsense."

Guben didn't want to hear his Nonsense: "If you want to thank someone, thank Xiyu; this time you were lucky not to lose your little life, and you must thank her. If it weren't for her Blood Donation to you, you'd really be going to see Yanluo Ye."

"Blood Donation?"

Wang Fan was stunned: "There's such a thing?"

"You yourself are Rh Negative Blood, and you didn't even know?"

Guben deliberately reprimanded him: "And you still dare to be so impulsive and fight with people."

"I really didn't know this......"

Wang Fan was Stunned for only one second, then resumed his grinning: "This is interesting now; your wife gave me Blood Donation, our blood has merged, making us closer than your Fiancé......"

"Say it straight if you want to die....."

Gu Binjun's face darkened; since they were in the Ward with a Nurse present, he forcibly suppressed the impulse to strangle him.

"Can't even make a joke? So Tightfisted?"

Wang Fan, not knowing when to stop, continued to test his bottom line.

"I shouldn't have saved you......"

Guben laughed in anger and pressed hard on his Wound.

"Ouch, it hurts to death."

Wang Fan bared his teeth in pain.

"Oh no, it's bleeding."

The little Nurse lifted the Quilt to look; blood threads oozed from the Wound, frightening her so much her face changed color.

The Ward was in another uproar; the Doctor came running Anxiously, examined the patient's Wound, and changed the gauze.

"It's fine."

Guben gave him a look of disdain: "He's tough as a dog, he won't die."

"We're the same age."

Wang Fan laughed angrily: "You call me a dog, aren't you one yourself?"

"Don't talk."

The little nurse couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him in a bad mood: "Talking wastes energy; what you need now is to close your eyes and rest well."

"Best to seal his mouth shut."

Guben added another stab: "That way everyone can have peace and quiet."

"You go out too."

The little nurse glared at him with a stern face: "The patient needs rest; only one person needs to stay in the ward to keep watch, everyone else leave."

"Time for breakfast."

Lin Xiyu and Wu Meng happened to return with breakfast at this moment.

"Wu Meng stays to take care of him, Xiyu comes with me."

Guben didn't think twice, stuffed the lunch box from Lin Xiyu's hand into Wu Meng's, and pulled the person out of the ward.

"Hey hey, what's going on?"

Wu Meng looked completely baffled: "Where did those two go? Why leave me alone?"

Wang Fan sneered: "Those two lovebirds are flirting, what business is it of yours?"

"Did you cause trouble again?"

Wu Meng glanced at him suspiciously: "You drove Guben away."

Wang Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't make a sound.

"I knew it......"

Wu Meng wore an expression of 'as expected,' and scolded him in a bad mood: "You're really something, what can I say about you, you cause trouble as soon as you wake up, we stayed up all night for you without sleeping, and you still have the nerve to drive those two away."

Wang Fan felt a warmth in his heart: "You and Lin Xiyu both stayed with me for a night?"

"Of course."

Wu Meng rolled her eyes at him: "Xiyu even donated blood to you."

"She really donated blood to me?"

Wang Fan found it unbelievable and asked again.

"Of course."

Wu Meng didn't think much of it: "Don't believe me, ask the nurse."

"Hey, interesting."

Wang Fan found it even more interesting: "This really is fate, our blood types are actually the same."

"Just keep it to yourself and be happy."

Wu Meng couldn't fail to see his little thoughts, teasing him with a smile.

"I really am quite happy."

Wang Fan didn't deny it: "I actually formed a bond with her in this way."

"Warning you....."

Wu Meng stopped smiling and warned him seriously: "Don't even think about pursuing Xiyu again, she gave you her blood out of necessity, don't think you can take the opportunity to pester her."

"Tsk~~"

Wang Fan sneered: "Am I the kind of person who would dig a hole in a brother's wall?"

"I think, you are......"

Wu Meng rudely exposed his scar: "You're not innocent of this kind of thing, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten beaten."

"Eat your food."

Wang Fan was hit where it hurt by her; when he heard she had also guarded him for a night, that bit of gratitude instantly vanished like smoke and clouds.

"Aren't you eating?"

Wu Meng won the verbal sparring and secretly gloated.

"He can't eat staple food."

The little nurse answered for Wang Fan: "He can only drink a bit of rice water, not a single grain of millet......"

"Oh oh, I see."

Wu Meng looked at the breakfast in her hand with some annoyance: "Forgot to ask in advance, soy milk and tea eggs can't be eaten, and it's too late to cook rice water now, what to do?"

"Just had surgery, it's fine not to eat."

The little nurse explained patiently: "Five bottles of IV fluids a day, nutrition is sufficient; if the patient is thirsty and wants water, they can drink a little through a straw, let them lie on their side, and be careful not to choke."

"Mm, okay."

Wu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and then deliberately stimulated someone: "You can't eat, I'll eat it for you, tea eggs are so fragrant, it's a pity to waste them."

Wang Fan closed his eyes in anger and didn't want to deal with her anymore.

"Hehe."

Wu Meng didn't care about his cold face, peeled the tea egg, and ate it very happily herself.

—

Wang Fan didn't want his family to know he was injured, so the heavy burden of nursing the patient could only fall on the three fellow townspeople.

Lin Xiyu and Wu Meng guarded by the hospital bed during the day, while Guben was responsible for the night shift.

The school was too far from the hospital, and going back and forth was inconvenient, so Lin Xiyu simply brought her and Wu Meng's luggage over, booked a room at a small hotel near the hospital, making it convenient for them to take turns going back to rest.

The preliminary preparations for the opening of the Pudong Branch did not stall because of a certain Boss's accident, but proceeded in an orderly manner.

Guben ran back and forth, having to manage his business while also staying at the hospital to care for him. After a stretch of time, he had visibly lost weight.

Lin Xiyu felt heartache seeing this, and in her heart she tormented a certain patient ten thousand times over.

Fortunately, Wang Fan was young with a strong constitution and recovered quickly; in less than a week his wound had mostly healed, he could get down and walk, and after staying in the hospital for a few more days, he couldn't bear it any longer and pestered the doctor to let him be discharged.

"Everyone else tries every means to stay a few more days in the hospital, but you, not even properly healed yet, want to be discharged."

The attending physician on rounds was made quite speechless by him: "Don't rely on your youth to recklessly toss yourself around; if the wound splits open again and becomes infected with pus, the one who suffers will still be yourself."

"I feel it's much better already; the wound doesn't hurt at all."

Ever since he could get down and walk, Wang Fan started grinning and joking again, not taking the doctor's words to heart.

"You think so?"

The doctor scolded him in annoyance: "We doctors need medical equipment to assist in diagnosing illnesses; without taking an X-ray or doing lab tests, we dare not lightly draw a conclusion. Do you have X-ray vision? Do you understand the condition better than we do?"

"It's just that I can sense it myself; whether it hurts or not, I can still feel..."

Wang Fan still wanted to argue, but Lin Xiyu saw the doctor's expression change and poked him with her finger.

"Pop."

Her finger carried static electricity; upon contact with the patient's gown, sparks flew.

"Hiss."

Wang Fan was so startled he trembled, and no longer had the mind to argue with the doctor.

"Why are you still carrying electricity on your body?"

Lin Xiyu was also startled by the static electricity, and glared at him unhappily.

"It's you who shocked me, okay?"

Wang Fan laughed in exasperation, rubbing his arm, quite speechless.

"I touch other places and there's no static electricity, but touching you there is."

Lin Xiyu tentatively touched other objects, and indeed no sparks appeared again.

"Then it's just that we two have good chemistry."

Wang Fan smoothly took the line.

"Who has chemistry with you."

Lin Xiyu felt this sentence was somewhat ambiguous, and decisively distanced herself from him.

"If there isn't, then there isn't."

Wang Fan wasn't annoyed even after being snapped at by her: "I'm just saying, the hospital has lights; it doesn't need us two to generate electricity."

"Pfft."

A little nurse couldn't help it, covering her mouth as she laughed out loud.

"Hmph."

Wang Fan found it amusing, smiling and teasing: "It seems Brother still has a bit of talent for humor."

"Cough cough."

The little nurse's ear root turned red, and she shyly glanced away.

"Sigh..."

Wang Fan leaned back comfortably, once again resuming his playboy nature: "Beauties swaying before my eyes every day, yet I can't flirt with them; what's the point of staying in the hospital?"

"Still want to flirt with girls!"

Lin Xiyu laughed in anger: "If you get stabbed again, you'll really die for a woman."

The little nurse's pretty face turned white, and the blush disappeared completely.

Wang Fan looked at her quite speechlessly.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Lin Xiyu glared back impolitely: "Is what I said wrong?"

"Right."

Wang Fan decisively gave in: "As long as it's what Sister-in-law says, everything is right."

"Stop being glib."

Lin Xiyu heard him call her Sister-in-law for the first time and felt a bit unaccustomed: "Lie down and rest properly, strive to be discharged as soon as possible; it's almost Little New Year, and the whole family is waiting for us to go home and celebrate the New Year."

"Listen to Sister-in-law."

Wang Fan shifted his body down on his own, lay down spread-eagled, and closed his eyes.

Lin Xiyu pulled the quilt up to cover him, sat down by the bedside, propped her forehead with her hand, and also narrowed her eyes to pretend to sleep.

The doctor and nurse had both left, and the ward grew quiet.

Wang Fan heard no movement, opened his eyes again, and looked at her somewhat obsessively.

The girl was pure and beautiful, exuding a reassuring calm and serenity from within and without.

He looked for a while, smiled self-mockingly, and closed his eyes again.

—

This time, he fell asleep, sleeping very soundly, and slept until the afternoon.

Upon waking and opening his eyes, he saw a furry head resting on the bedside.

He stretched his hand out from under the quilt, just about to touch it, when that person was startled by her and abruptly raised his head.

"Damn, why is it you? When did the ward become so fantastical, playing at great transformations of living people?"

"What great transformation of living people?"

Wu Meng helplessly rubbed her eyelids and complained in annoyance: "Are you sleeping muddle-headed? Opening your mouth and talking nonsense."

"Just now wasn't it Lin Xiyu?"

Wang Fan didn't know how long he had slept, feeling a bit dazed: "Gone for a moment and you've become her?"

"What good deed are you thinking of?"

Wu Meng suddenly understood, teasingly poking him: "It's already three in the afternoon, Xiyu left long ago, you still think she'd wait for you all day?"

"When did you arrive?"

Wang Fan's eyes flickered slightly, deliberately changing the subject.

"At noon."

Wu Meng said matter-of-factly: "I bought lunch for you, saw you were asleep, so I didn't wake you."

"I actually slept that long?"

Wang Fan's eyes were hazy, finding it hard to believe himself.

"Had a nice dream?"

Wu Meng leaned forward, her joking gaze sweeping across his face: "I saw you smiling in your sleep, you must have dreamed of some good deed."

"Cough, cough."

Wang Fan nearly choked on his own spit.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Wu Meng, bored out of her mind, teased him: "Come clean, what dream did you have, smiling so lewdly?"

"Are you even a woman?"

Wang Fan felt a bit embarrassed by her teasing, snapping back unhappily: "You can say something like that?"
