Armor: I can only summon the general

Outside the ward, Hua He had already dialed Aunt Hui's number, and the phone was answered after ringing a few times.

"Hey? Huahe, thank you for your hard work last night. Please wait a moment, I've made breakfast for you and will bring it over right away."

The phone rang with a clanging sound, and Hua He could almost smell the aroma of the food from halfway across the city.

"That's great! Xi Zhao was just saying there aren't any good restaurants near the hospital. Thank you, Aunt Hui. Oh, by the way, I was in a bit of a rush yesterday and didn't have time to talk about many things. How are Min Ci and Xiao Lan doing?"

On the other end of the phone, Aunt Hui turned off the stove, freed her hand to take the phone off her shoulder, and turned to look at Minci, who was packing up the food behind her.

"They're all fine, they're all okay."

When Minci heard Aunt Hui's voice, she looked up and looked over. Aunt Hui put the phone away and whispered to Minci, "It's Huahe calling. He's worried about you."

"Huh? Us? We're alright. By the way, Aunt Hui, how's Xin Nan? And the others, have they woken up?" Min Ci asked expectantly.

"Yes, yes, wait a moment, let me ask for you."

Aunt Hui put the phone back to her ear and asked softly, "Hua He, have Xin Nan and the others woken up?"

“Xin Nan hasn’t woken up yet. Only Xi Zhao has woken up now, but it’s estimated that he will wake up soon. They are all in very good health now. Since Xi Zhao has already woken up, they should all wake up before sunset.”

Hearing Hua He's answer, Aunt Hui felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

"That's good, that's good. Please wait a moment. There's one more dish. I'll make it and bring it over to you right away. That's all for now, I'll hang up now."

"Minci, Xinnan hasn't woken up yet, but Xizhao has. Huahe said they'll all wake up today, thank goodness!" Aunt Hui hung up the phone, smiling broadly as she turned on the stove to continue cooking.

"Yes, thankfully they're all alright..."

Minci nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with joy and satisfaction. Her hands moved even more nimbly as she packed the dishes Aunt Hui had prepared into individual takeout boxes, which were then neatly placed into a cloth bag.

After Aunt Hui finished cooking the last dish, the two of them packed the food into a takeout box and put it into a cloth bag.

Aunt Hui immediately slung her bag over her shoulder and headed outside, with Minci following her.

"Aunt Hui, let me go. I doubt we can get a taxi outside right now, and it's quite a distance from the hospital," Minci said with some concern.

"It's alright, it's not far. I'm not too tired to walk yet. You stay home and rest, and take care of Xiaolan for me. Take the key, and lock the door after I leave. Don't open the door to strangers..."

As Aunt Hui walked out, she settled Minci in, and before Minci could say anything, she put the key in her hand.

Minci watched Aunt Hui's back; although she was carrying a bag, her steps were very light.

"Aunt Hui, please be careful on the road!"

"Okay, go inside now."

Aunt Hui turned around and waved to Minci before continuing her walk toward the hospital.

…………

In the hospital, Hua He casually hung up the phone, walked into the ward, and sat down next to Xi Zhao's bed.

"I've already asked. Minci is fine. She cares about you and even asked if you've woken up yet."

Xi Zhao got the answer he wanted, felt relieved, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. "It's good that you're alright. This is a case of good deeds being rewarded. She's just that kind; she can be so warm-hearted to a stranger."

Qiao Shefei chimed in, "Yes, she's such a kind girl, but it seems she already has someone she likes..."

"Oh? Minci has someone she likes? Who is it?" Xi Zhao asked with curiosity and doubt.

Hua He smiled, patted Xi Zhao on the shoulder, and gestured with his chin toward Xin Nan.

"The rich young lady went on a private visit, not only condescending to work as a waitress in a dumpling restaurant, but also taking on the role of the piano prince's personal embroiderer. Isn't that obvious?"

Xi Zhao turned to look at Xin Nan, and after a moment's thought, he immediately understood, but there were still some parts he didn't quite grasp.

"A rich girl? How did you know? And what's her motive?"

Seeing Xi Zhao's face full of confusion and curiosity, Hua He couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, even becoming a gangster hasn't changed your persona, Xi Zhao, little angel. Didn't you notice anything unusual between them before?"

"What? No, I don't know!"

Xi Zhao was even more puzzled, her fair face full of confusion. "No, how did you all figure that out?"

Qiao Shefei was touched by the pure soul of the man. He shook his head and covered his face with his hands.

Hua He patiently explained to Xi Zhao, "From the current perspective, it's quite reasonable that the rich young lady has fallen for the talented but poor young man, so she pretends to be poor to stay by his side, just to be with him."

“Uh…that makes sense!” Xi Zhao nodded solemnly.

"Let's go back a long time. An accident intertwined the fates of two children. As adults, one became incredibly wealthy, while the other had an ordinary background."

When the wealthy young lady recognizes our poor but talented piano prince, and decides to conceal her identity and stay by his side as a stranger, content just to see him, isn't that perfectly reasonable?

“Uh…that makes sense!” Xi Zhao nodded again, but then discovered a blind spot outside the plot.

"No, how did you know this? If Minci were really like you say, she would never tell a second person her secret, but you..."

Xi Zhao looked Hua He up and down. "You're about the same age as us, how do you know about Min Ci's childhood?"

"Heh~ heh~" Hua He exaggeratedly drew out the sound.

"How would I know? Please, I'm your biggest cheat code, how could I not know!"

"Besides," Hua He changed the subject, speaking in a less serious tone:

"Is this kind of thing rare? I could figure out this scenario with half my brain. Is there any need to make a fuss? It's really unacceptable that you can't even make this connection. Your most important thing right now is to download Tomato..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Hua He, there's no such thing in this day and age." Qiao Shefei quickly stopped Hua He.

"Tsk, never mind. Why don't you read more novels when you have time? Or how about you become a member at my bookstore? There are all kinds of novels with surprises in store, and exciting plots waiting for you to discover!"

Hua He smiled and winked at Xi Zhao.

Qiao Shefei couldn't help but cover his face again, this time feeling embarrassed. Hua He's expression made him feel inexplicably awkward. That damned, inappropriate joke made Qiao Shefei feel ashamed.

Xi Zhao, however, did not think so, because he had discovered another key point.

"Yes, you also have a bookstore. We've known each other for so long, but I've never been there before. I must go and check it out sometime."

This time, Qiao Shefei was even more speechless. Neither of the two parties involved were aware of the situation, and he was the only one who felt ashamed for the other. This situation was the most awkward.

Qiao Shefei was about to get up and go out to relieve some stress, but as soon as she straightened up, she felt some slight movement behind her and quickly turned around to look.

Sure enough, Xin Nan behind him frowned slightly, subconsciously took a deep breath, blinked twice, and slowly woke up.
