Chapter 2537: Non-Human: Xiao Chen's Amnesia After 28

~7 min read 1,279 words

Whether out of workplace courtesy or the personal affection built over these years, Liang Yanze will go to the hospital to visit Zhou Chengjun.

After all, the big boss is hospitalized due to injury; countless subsequent work decisions, project follow‑ups, external PR… most of the pressure falls on him and Liu Zou's shoulders.

Jin Chen……

In the hospital corridor, Liang Yanze slightly turned his head, glancing at the tall, long‑legged man beside him who had a very strong presence.

He had readily accepted the reality that no matter where he went, even if he was at work, he would always have this person‑shaped accessory trailing behind him.

After all, aside from occasional uncontrollable actions that make one's face flush and heart race, the experience is still quite good.

Jin Chen noticed Liang Yanze's gaze and lifted his eyes to meet his.

Liang Yanze, however, withdrew his gaze, curled the corner of his mouth, and pushed open the ward door.

Jin Chen stood where he was, silent, 【Ling Gun Gun, he just peeked at me.】

Ling Gun Gun poked his head out, propping his chin with his paws, 【Really… so what?】

Jin Chen's crimson lips curved into a gloomy yet satisfied arc, 【He loves me so much.】

【……Burp.】 Ling Gun Gun chimed in, patting his shoulder.

【Yes, Host, I think the same—he must be crazy about you, even though your Heartbeat Value is steady at 50……】

Jin Chen automatically ignored the latter half, satisfiedly following into the ward.

The top‑floor ward was spacious and bright, decorated not like a hospital room but more like a suite in a luxury hotel.

Zhou Chengjun leaned against the raised hospital bed, his arm wrapped in bandages, his face the pallor of blood loss, eyes closed as if asleep.

Zhao Xitang sat in the chair beside the bed, quietly peeling an apple, occasionally glancing at his lover on the bed.

Seeing Liang Yanze enter, Zhao Xitang put down the fruit knife, noticing the unfamiliar man behind Liang Yanze, and showed a hint of doubt.

"Xiao Liang, who is this……?"

Upon hearing this question, Jin Chen's gray pupils silently turned toward Liang Yanze, the corner of his lips holding a meaningful smile.

You'd better answer well, wife.

Feeling a substantive gaze at his back, with his ears faintly heating, Liang Yanze stayed calm and said, "I… am his boyfriend."

Jin Chen was very pleased with this answer, gave Zhao Xitang a slightly reserved nod, and said in a low voice, "Hello."

His bearing was impeccable.

If one ignored the gloomy aura that clung to his whole body.

Zhao Xitang's face flickered with surprise, then his smile deepened, and he felt a bit relieved.

"Not bad; I used to worry you'd really become a workaholic, but at last you have someone by your side."

Liang Yanze coughed lightly, a little ill at ease, set the fruit basket and supplements aside, then asked, "How is President Zhou's condition?"

Zhao Xitang glanced at Zhou Chengjun on the bed and said softly, "It's fine; the wound isn't too deep, they stitched it, the doctor said to observe for two or three days, and if there's no infection it'll be okay."

"It's just that the injury is on the right hand, making daily movements inconvenient, so he needs to rest for a while."

Jin Chen heard this, his gray eyes slowly turning, he glanced at the steadily breathing Zhou Chengjun on the bed, and a flicker of doubt crossed his depths.

Why is this person pretending to sleep?

And then Zhao Xitang's words answered his doubt.

Zhao Xitang continued, "Chengjun needs rest; during this period I'll temporarily take over the group's daily decisions and paperwork."

"I'll bring the important projects to him for discussion, but the actual execution……"

He hadn't finished speaking when Zhou Chengjun on the bed could no longer keep up the act.

With his uninjured left hand he threw off the blanket, face full of anxiety and worry, "Xiao Tang! I knew you'd do this—how can your body handle the strain? I'll let Liu Zou and Xiao Liang share the load, or we can do video conferences……"

Here we go again.

Jin Chen watched from the side, shaking his head.

These humans are hopelessly stupid.

No, I still have to save him—the plot affects his wife.

Jin Chen pondered a moment, also tightened his grip on Liang Yanze's hand, turned to him and said, "Honey, look, I won't be like him."

The three people present: "???"

Suddenly called out, Zhou Chengjun blinked, looking at this subordinate's boyfriend.

Just now I hadn't looked closely, but now I see… he's really… a tall guy.

Zhou Chengjun retorted, "What do you mean?"

Jin Chen didn't even look at him, fixing his gaze on Liang Yanze and continued to voice his lofty opinion.

"I won't distrust you; you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Chengjun: "I don't distrust my wife! I'm just worried about his health……"

Jin Chen still ignored him, then told Liang Yanze, "I also won't, out of worry, try to control your interests and deprive you of what you want to do."

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on you at all times.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yanze raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Chengjun, however, froze, instinctively glancing at the silent Zhao Xitang beside him, a sudden panic welling up inside.

"Xiao Tang, would you really think that? I… I'm just……"

He's just afraid—terrified of even the slightest chance of losing him.

Zhao Xitang let out a soft sigh, took Zhou Chengjun's hand, laid him back on the bed, and smoothed the messy strands of hair on his forehead.

"Chengjun, I've been recuperating for a long time."

"I'm not a porcelain doll; I know my limits, I can handle the group's affairs with discretion."

He looked at Zhou Chengjun's eyes filled with worry and fear, lowered his voice, and said, "Believe me, okay?"

Zhou Chengjun gazed at his lover's pale yet calm brows, and suddenly it felt as if memory had crossed time, seeing the Zhao Xitang of a few years ago who stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder with him in the business world, full of vigor and ambition.

His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he finally answered in a hoarse voice: "……Good."

Jin Chen nodded satisfactorily.

Mm, today I'm also working hard on the task.

Zhou Chengjun calmed his emotions, then recalled something and asked Liang Yanzhe.

"Hey Xiao Liang, last night you stayed to clean up—did you notice a……very tall, skinny man in black clothes? He was the one who warned me that Xiao Tang was in danger; I need to thank him properly."

Liang Yanzhe glanced at Jin Chen beside him.

Jin Chen's expression didn't change, his voice cold: "I don't know."

Zhou Chengjun let out a disappointed sigh, but his eyes swept over Jin Chen a few times, the more he looked, the more familiar that height and build seemed…,

He suddenly had a brainwave: "Wait……could it be you?!"

Jin Chen: "It's me."

Zhou Chengjun: "???"

"It really is you……then why didn't you admit it just now? You're our benefactor!"

Jin Chen frowned slightly, annoyed by this human's noise: "I just don't want to."

He just wanted to quickly finish the visit and be alone with his wife.

Zhou Chengjun: "……"

This person is really weird!

Liang Yanzhe timely gripped Jin Chen's hand, stepping in to smooth things over: "Manager Zhou, he probably just happened to come pick me up last night and might have accidentally seen something."

Zhou Chengjun and Zhao Xītáng felt it was a bit strange, but since the other party was a lifesaver, they didn't dare press further and quickly expressed their thanks again.
