Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 267 Family and Country in Dire Straits (37)

When He Yanshen woke up, he felt terrible all over. The anesthesia was wearing off and he was really uncomfortable.

Turning my head to look, the sunlight outside the window was so bright it hurt my eyes. Looking towards the bedside, I saw Xu Qing's handsome and refined face.

Why are you resting on the edge of the bed with your fingers resting on the back of your hand?

I'm not wearing my coat properly, will I catch a cold?

He Yanshen felt somewhat helpless. He wanted to get up and drape the coat over the back of the chair for the person, but the pain in his waist made him gasp.

Xu Qing, who was not sound asleep, immediately woke up and saw He Yanshen's distorted expression when she opened her eyes.

Xu Qing: "..." What do you mean by two arms?

He got up and helped the person up, placing a pillow under their head. "Are you stupid? Don't you know your injuries haven't healed yet?"

The person lying on the bed listened to Xu Qing's lecture willingly, a smile on their lips, "I was worried you were cold, so I was going to get you a coat."

Xu Qing paused, her hand gripping the pillow, then lowered her eyes and tucked the pillow into the other person's hands. "With the sun so bright, how cold can it be?"

"It's my fault, Qing, don't be angry." The young man's voice was soft, yet tinged with helplessness.

Seeing He Yanshen's ingratiating expression, Xu Qing pursed her lips, turned her head away, and changed the subject, saying, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Before He Yanshen could speak, Xu Qing started talking to herself, suddenly standing up, "I'll go buy you some porridge."

As he spoke, he walked out as if someone was about to eat him alive.

"Ah Qing." He Yanshen raised his hand to grab Xu Qing, but couldn't grasp anything.

Xu Qing ignored He Yanshen's calls and continued walking at a brisk pace, disappearing out the door in an instant.

He Yanshen couldn't stop him no matter what.

What's going on here?

He Yanshen was somewhat puzzled.

Only after leaving the hospital did Xu Qing gradually slow down, raising her hand to press her rapidly beating heart. Her mind was filled with the image of He Yanshen's smiling lips and burning gaze.

That undisguised gaze was even more intense than the sunlight outside the window, making Xu Qing feel flustered.

He genuinely didn't know what to do with He Yanshen.

Such a passionate and radiant person deserves to find someone who loves him wholeheartedly.

Instead of someone like him with all his messy affairs.

Recalling the news he received that morning, Xu Qing's face paled. He shook his head and then slumped down.

Forget it.

Let's make sure he's full first.

Don't let him starve to death.

***

He Yanshen lay on the hospital bed, blinking his innocent eyes at the person in front of him, pouting, looking pitiful.

"Ah Qing, my hand hurts~"

Xu Qing: "..." It's the abdomen that's injured, not the hand.

But seeing He Yanshen's pitiful and aggrieved look, even though she knew he was faking it, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, he resignedly picked up a spoon, blew on the porridge to cool it down, and fed it to the person.

He Yanshen stared blankly at Xu Qing, mechanically opening his mouth, but his eyes remained fixed on Xu Qing's face, not moving an inch.

It's as if they want to dismember and tear apart what's in front of them.

This was the first time he had seen Xu Qing so gentle; the way she lowered her eyes was simply pleasing to the eye.

It really is patient-only.

harm.

He Yanshen sighed almost imperceptibly, looking somewhat melancholy.

I still want to enjoy Ah Qing's gentleness a little longer.

"Would you like some fruit?" Xu Qing waved the apple in her hand.

He Yanshen shook his head. "No need to bother."

Xu Qing looked somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, "Okay."

He just wanted to find something to do. He was afraid that He Yanshen would ask him questions he couldn't answer, which would cause the relationship between the two of them to harden again.

But he couldn't bear to leave.

My older sister is coming back tomorrow, and I don't know what will happen.

But what's meant to happen will happen eventually.

Xu Qing's stiff movements, coupled with his expression of impending doom, were rather amusing.

Is he so scary?

He reached out and separated Xu Qing's hands, which were folded on her lap, and took them in his palm. "Ah Qing."

Xu Qing recoiled from the heat, but He Yanshen held her firmly in his hand.

The warmth on the back of his hand was so comforting. It was the first time he had realized how weak he was. He Yanshen hadn't done anything yet, but just by calling his name, he felt an urge to cry.

Xu Qing turned her head away, not wanting He Yanshen to see her in this disheveled state.

"What's wrong with you?" He Yanshen tightened his grip on her hand even more.

Xu Qing lowered her head and shook her head. Before He Yanshen could say anything, she pulled her hand back from his.

"I have something to do at the bank, so I'll be going now."

"Aqing!"

The shouts from behind did not stop Xu Qing; he left in a hurry without even taking his coat from the back of the chair.

It looked like they were fleeing in panic.

He Yanshen reached out, trying to grab Xu Qing, but the movement caused a sharp pain in his wound, his face turned pale, and cold sweat instantly poured down his face.

Xu Qing had already left and could no longer be seen.

When Gu Yao came to see He Yanshen, he happened to run into Xu Qing, who was leaving in a hurry. Xu Qing was wearing a shirt and vest, but his suit jacket was nowhere to be found.

???

Gu Yao turned his head to look, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Qing has always been extremely conscious of his image, especially after returning to China to take over the Xu family business.

Where did that coat go?

Seeing Xu Qing hurrying along, even looking down and not seeing him, Gu Yao became even more puzzled.

What happened?

I haven't heard anything about what happened to the Xu family.

The footsteps were so fast that Gu Yao was stunned for a moment before he couldn't stop him.

Watching Xu Qing's hurried departure, Gu Yao pursed his lips and decided to first deal with the purpose of his visit to Shanghai.

He learned from the Xu family steward that He Yanshen had woken up.

It's more important to get the codebook from He Yanshen first.

He turned his head and continued walking towards the ward.

As soon as he entered, he saw He Yanshen half-supporting himself, clutching his wound, sweating profusely.

He quickly stepped forward, scooped the person up, and helped them lean against the headboard before going out to call the doctor.

Lifting the hospital gown, the seeping blood stood out starkly against the pristine white gauze.

"Luckily, the stitches are fine, there's just some slight bleeding. If you don't know you're injured, and keep struggling, even a miracle worker couldn't save you."

The middle-aged doctor held the medical record and berated the pale person on the bed.

As a doctor, the thing I dislike most is patients who don't listen to advice.

He Yanshen dared not refute, remaining as quiet as a chicken.

"You're his friend, right? Keep an eye on him. People aren't made of iron; they need time to recover."

Gu Yao suppressed a laugh and nodded with a serious expression, "It won't happen again next time."

The doctor snapped the pen cap shut. "You want to do it again? If you don't even cherish your own life, next time you're going to die, don't die in the hospital."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Gu Yao pulled out a chair next to the bed and looked directly at He Yanshen. "How are you? Have you recovered?"

He Yanshen turned his head to look at Gu Yao, a smile appearing on his lips. He wanted to raise his hand to shake hands with him, but Gu Yao's face showed a look of disgust.

"Please don't. Didn't you hear what the doctor said? You shouldn't move around right now."

He Yanshen did not insist any further, but his gaze toward Gu Yao was filled with a stubbornness, burning with an inextinguishable light.

"Comrade Gu Yao, thank you for coming."

This is genuine.

As the core ace of the Information Department, Gu Yao didn't need to take such a risk in Shanghai.

Therefore, he was truly grateful.

Thank you for Gu Yao's sacrifice.

Gu Yao was taken aback, but the smile on his lips remained unchanged. "Hearing you say that is really a bit unusual. But there's no need to say more. We're all working towards the same goal. Where is the codebook?"

"No. 33 Taiping Lane, someone will give it to you."

Gu Yao nodded and got up to leave.

He Yanshen seemed to have thought of something and still reminded him, "Gu Yao, Yan Yu is not simple. Don't trust him easily."

Gu Yao paused, turned half his face to the side, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his lips. "There's no need for Detective He to worry about that. If there's one person in this world I can trust, it's him."

This is the trust of the fourth generation.

Although he knew He Yanshen meant well, he still couldn't bear to hear anyone say a bad word about Yan Yu.

He Yanshen did not say anything more.

"But thank you for your kindness, Detective He."

Gu Yao didn't say anything more and walked out.

They've started looking for the lost codebook recently, and Uncle Chen is already urging him to go back.

Thinking of this, Gu Yao sighed softly.

He hadn't figured out how to tell Yan Yu yet.
