Before My Withering [枯萎之前]

Chapter 42

[It turns out you are living in me, and watching over my memories]

I could have been released from the hospital a long time ago, but Zhou Chen was pretty busy this time, and Qi Shu was still in the hospital bed, so I stayed.

The physicians were most likely entrusted by someone. There was a little blister on my wound as it healed. They all acted as if they were in the presence of an enemy, as if this blister would kill me. Every day, it makes me uneasy. I'm often reminded of the emperor's moments in one of the TV shows. He was enraged and yelled at the imperial physician, "Drag this quack doctor out and chop him."

Zhou Chen said I was too idle.

I said, "Who told you not to accompany me?"

The day after I said this, he walked me through the hospital discharge procedures and drove me back to Sunset Lane.

Fortunately, the bridge had been restored, so I didn't have to recall about the thrilling tragedy that occurred more than a month ago.

When Xu Xingze came to meet me, he boasted that Zhou Chen had dispatched Qi Shu's two cousins abroad to oversee the factory in an area where birds don't even shit. He said that because they were expats with no actual influence, they were essentially exiled.

I questioned if Qi Shu's grandfather would consent to such a proposal. He said that before the old man could protest, Zhou Chen's father settled the situation with a light, "It's okay for young people to go out for more experience," remark.

I was not familiar with the complicated relationship between the Qi and Zhou families. The elderly man of the Qi family appeared to be terrified of the Zhou family after I heard Xu Xingze's words.

After all, he had already used dishonest ways to shove his daughter. He was the one in the wrong.

Halfway through the gossip, Xu Xingze walked to the balcony to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he had a flower-like smile on his face and couldn't suppress his very sunny tangerine pheromone.

I sensed something and asked him playfully whether he had met his favorite Omega.

"No, it's Wen Yan; he and I spoke about what flowers to use for the exhibition hall's design."

"Wen Yan?"

"Yeah, he's in charge of my solo exhibition."

I remembered that Senior Wen Yan was studying art curation, but I didn't expect that the first order he received after he returned was Xu Xingze's solo art exhibition.

What a small world.

No, Xu Xingze is acting like this. It couldn't be...

I silently lamented for my dumb, sweet artist roommate. Wen Yan even had the heart to remove the glands in order to avoid discussing love. Xu Xingze was overly daring, choosing the most difficult bone to chew.

Ah, the path is long and rough...

"Why do you look as if you pity humanity?" 'He looked at me puzzled. "The exhibition opens at the end of the month. You must come."

I tried to squeeze out a sincere grin for him. "I will definitely come. "

He was undoubtedly thinking about the phone call just now. "Wen Yan told me before that he and you get along like he's taking care of children, and in fact, I also feel this way. When we were in school, I always felt like your dad," he continued, unconsciously smiling.

Me: ?

I was about to protest when he changed the subject. "Do you think Wen Yan and I look like a match made in heaven?"
