38-Yet Another "无名之辈"

"I get that hospitals are gloomy, but can you just calm down with the brooding? I have to work here every day you know- at least try to make me feel better."

Yibo rubbed his eyes before shaking his head. "Sorry... i can't help it. The past couple of days have been shit. This thing with Zhan happened and..." His eyes later glanced at the doctor beside him, to which the latter kindly smiled at. "You can talk comfortably if you want to, i would tell no one."

"...surely."

"No it is surely, i have no friends aside from you. They all decided to forget me because i was too busy with work." Yibo sighed, not even able to talk back because of how sad it was. "That's rough... but whatever. It's not a big problem anyways."

Cui Yi raised his brows. "Your eyes sure don't say that. So his name is Zhan? Wait... i knew he was familiar. Is this THE Xiao Zhan we know?" The latter looked away. "Wow... never thought he would be your type." Yibo shrugged. "Honestly he wasn't. I just... saw myself falling for him. For his pretty eyes... the way he talks... his heart.. oh how wonderful he is, you have no idea."

Cui Yi smiled as he stopped checking his temperature and looked at the needle. "I sure don't! But that's romantic. How come you didn't impress him enough to make him fall for you? With such words, even an overworked detective would fall a slave to your charms-"

"Oh in his dreams. This guy knows nothing about being romantic. The last time i checked, he didn't even have the guts to show his face to the guy he liked. And while having sex at that." Cui Yi sucked in his breath at the words that came out of the mysterious man's mouth. "That's... a little.."

Yibo frowned at the familiar face before grabbing the bandages beside him and then threw them at his face. They ended up hitting him on the chest. "You asshole! You totally set me up with that guy! I had to fix things up with Zhan because of it!"

Shun raised his brow, smirking. "Aren't you supposed to be grateful? He must've been jealous if you had to 'fix things up' with him." A vein popped on his head as he grabbed the bandaid box next, and aimed it at his face before throwing it again.

This time, it hit him right in the middle of the brows.

Shun frowned, a smile still lingering on his lips as he rushed over to him and then pulled from his hair like a kid searching for its stolen candy. "This was a simple gift for you to pay up for the shit you've been pulling at the bar!" Yibo groaned, his hands quick to grab him by the collar before pushing him onto the bed and then climbing on top instead. "Yea right! I thought we made a deal for that! Where did that go!"

Shun sighed as he pulled his hands off of him. "That's... why i came actually. I have good news and... bad news. And the good news is, our deal is off. After... well.. seeing how you jumped in front of the bullet for Zhan.. i thought that you might not be such an asshole after all."

Yibo's shoulders dropped while his body relaxed, making it become heavier for Shun to carry on his stomach. "And the bad news is... and... and the... the.. an- OH, FUCK! Can you just get off of me!" Yibo rolled his eyes before going down and nudged his shoulder. "The bad news? What's the bad news?"

Shun groaned whilst pulling his body up and exhaled in comfort. "Han Delun was able to pay off his sentence and so they pulled him out of prison."

Yibo's shoulders dropped, his head now feeling heavy. "That's... but how? I heard the news about how his company went down. Shouldn't he be like... broke?" Shun sighed. "Well, he apparently had some money stashed somewhere. But, he was fined with an extra of 600 thousand yuan... split that in two and... 300k to you and 300k to Zhan. An attempted shooting is still shooting someone."
