The door to the ward opened, and Lin Chen sneaked in, carrying large and small bags filled with clothes and shoes for Zhouzhou.
Looking at the blankets gathered on the hospital bed, he quietly put down what he was holding.
Then he quietly sat down to the side.
Not long after, his voice could be heard talking to himself in the ward.
"Zhouzhou, are you still sleeping?"
The blanket shifted, and the person inside turned over.
Seeing this, Lin Chen guessed that she had probably woken up.
Taking a deep breath, he continued, his head bowed, "These past two days you've been missing, I've been agonizing every minute, worried that something terrible might have happened to you."
"I blame myself for not coming to Beijing with you this time; otherwise, you would never have encountered this situation."
"No matter where you go from now on, I will follow you closely and protect you, and I will never let you get hurt again."
"Zhouzhou, I like you."
"like you very much."
After his heartfelt confession, he sat quietly, waiting for her response.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The only sound in the ward was his disordered breathing.
He knew it was inappropriate to confess his feelings here; he should book a fancy restaurant, carefully create a romantic atmosphere, and prepare beautiful flowers and gifts.
But he simply couldn't control his inner impulse.
The sound of turning over came from the hospital bed again. Zhou Xian poked his head out from under the covers and propped his cheek up with one hand.
He looked at Lin Chen, who was stunned and terrified, with a malicious gaze.
Zhou Xian: "Your writing is truly brilliant, Third Brother. It's making my fists clench."
Lin Chen: "..."
Damn it, I told that to the dog.

It was quite cold outside the hospital, but Jiang Zhouzhou looked like she was fully cooked, with all her exposed skin glowing an unnatural red.
Perhaps due to lack of oxygen, I feel dizzy and disoriented.
It wasn't until Yin Yue took out his phone and handed it to her that she understood: "Do you want to video call Gu Nanfeng? He's been worried about you these past few days."
"However, he was too busy with company matters to make it this time."
Perhaps having tasted success, the usually petty man was unusually generous to his rival, even offering a considerate explanation.
Of course, there was one more thing he didn't say directly.
After learning that Zhouzhou was missing, Yin Yue, Lin Chen, and even the Ji family tacitly shifted the blame to Gu Nanfeng, which is why Gu Nanfeng couldn't come in time.
Jiang Zhouzhou didn't think much of it and took Yin Yue's phone.
She lost her phone at the hotel, and she doesn't know if Xiao Dian has helped her find it.
Seeing the nickname Yin Yue gave Gu Nanfeng on WeChat, Jiang Zhouzhou pursed her lips tightly and tapped the video call request.
A few seconds later, the video call connected.
On the screen, the man's cold face suddenly appeared, but when he saw that the person on the video call was Jiang Zhouzhou, his expression softened instantly.
Jiang Zhouzhou blinked at the screen, "Brother Nanfeng, I'm back safely, don't worry about me."
She smiled, her cherry-colored lips several shades redder than usual, making them particularly eye-catching.
Gu Nanfeng hesitated before speaking, his gaze falling on Jiang Zhouzhou's lips, his narrow, fox-like eyes darkening imperceptibly.
I thought the American cockroach had taken a good deed, but it turns out it was waiting for him here.
He seemed a little distracted while watching the girl in the video.
Just as she was about to hang up the video call, Gu Nanfeng casually asked, "Zhouzhou, why are your lips swollen?"
"mouth?"
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Zhouzhou subconsciously switched the video feed, displaying her own face on the big screen.
In an instant, her porcelain-white face turned bright red.
On the phone, the man's voice was gentle and caring as he asked attentively, "Did you bump into something dirty?"
Jiang Zhouzhou silently glanced at the dirty thing beside her and glared at it fiercely.
The instigator's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was enough to be heard clearly through the phone.
"I'll be gentler next time, baby. You know... I don't have much experience either."
Jiang Zhouzhou was completely flustered and hurriedly hung up the video call.
He muttered a barely audible curse: "You're getting more and more shameless, Cockroach Bro."
Someone shamelessly said, "I was just too concerned about saving face, which gave other guys an opportunity to take advantage of me."
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes darted around: "But you said it has to be fair..."
She leaned slightly closer to him, tilting her head up to look into his eyes.
"Mr. Yin, who loves pursuing fairness and justice the most, what should you do?"
Upon learning that Nanfeng had kissed her on the cheek, he was determined to get his money back, interest and all.
What if it were him now?
Yin Yue lowered his eyes, his phoenix eyes behind his glasses narrowed slightly, flashing with an imperceptible danger yet also with helplessness.
He said helplessly, "You're the real little rascal."
Jiang Zhouzhou ate some of the food he had brought outside, and only returned to the ward when the redness and swelling in his mouth were no longer visible.
There was another person in the ward.
When she returned, he stared at her longingly.
"Zhouzhou, you're finally back," Lin Chen said listlessly.
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded, then looked suspiciously at Zhou Xian, who was still lying in the hospital bed, "Zhou Xian, did you bully Lin Chen?"
It's no wonder she overthinks things; Lin Chen looked like she had suffered a great injustice.
Considering Lin Chen's status in her eyes—he could even be kicked by a passing dog—Jiang Zhouzhou felt quite sorry for him.
Zhou Xian first glanced at Yin Yue behind Jiang Zhouzhou, then lazily looked away and clicked his tongue.
Seeing that Zhouzhou was unconditionally on his side, Lin Chen immediately straightened his back and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Actually, I'm used to it. Although Zhou Xian often does inhuman things, is petty and jealous, and speaks in a sarcastic and annoying way, I won't argue with him in front of you for Zhouzhou's sake."
This rich tea flavor is so familiar.
Jiang Zhouzhou suspected that Lin Chen had signed up for another course, and that the teacher was very likely Ji Yu'an.
However, Zhou Xian, faced with this insignificant damage, curled the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Third Brother, you're getting more and more despicable."
