The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

The brothers split up to check the ventilation duct route. Chen Yifan took out his phone and checked the time. It was already past one in the morning. Shen Ran must still be worried in the ward. He couldn't waste any more time here.

Returning to the ward door, he gently pushed it open. The night light inside was still on. Shen Ran held his phone in his hand, "Did you find her? Is she still in the building?"

"I didn't find her," Chen Yifan walked over and sat down, taking the phone from her hand. "I'm sorry to have worried you. Don't stay up any longer, go to sleep. I've asked the brothers to keep a close eye on the entire building. She can't get away."

More than half an hour later, the phone vibrated. It was Ergou calling, "Brother Chen! We've found out! The ventilation duct leads to the utility room on the first floor! We just went to the utility room and saw a few dust marks on the floor. It looks like someone just crawled out of the duct! But they've already escaped. The back door of the utility room is unlocked, so they probably slipped out from there!"

"He ran away again! Is there no one guarding the back door? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on all the entrances and exits?"

"We've got it! But we all went to search the second floor just now, leaving only Anuo at the back door. That girl must have slipped out when he wasn't paying attention. Brother Chen, let's go after her now! We're sure we can catch her!"

"Forget it, forget it, stop chasing her!" Chen Yifan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "It's dark at night. You don't know where she ran to, so it's useless to chase her. Besides, since she was able to escape through the ventilation duct, she must have stepped on it well in advance. You can't catch up with her."

"Then...what should we do?"

"You guys go back first and continue guarding the entrances and exits of the hospital, especially the obstetrics building. Also, tomorrow morning, check the surveillance cameras near the hospital to see if you can find her whereabouts."

"Okay, we get it."

……

The next morning, the sky outside the window was just getting light.

Shen Ran leaned against the bedside, flipping through a parenting book. Chen Yifan rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Why don't you get some more sleep? There are still three days until the due date. If you don't rest up, how will you have the energy to give birth when the time comes?"

"I couldn't sleep," Shen Ran put the book on his lap, smiled and patted his belly, "This little guy was moving around a lot this morning. It seemed like he knew he was about to come out and was packing his luggage inside."

Chen Yifan's lips curled up unconsciously, "I'm going to buy breakfast later. Don't open the door casually. No matter who knocks on the door, ask clearly first."

"I know." Shen Ran smiled and pushed him. "Go ahead. For breakfast, I want to have the soy milk and fried dough sticks from the place at the end of the alley. I also want two runny tea eggs."

"No problem," Chen Yifan grabbed his coat and walked to the door, "Wait for me, I'll be back in ten minutes."

He walked out of the ward and passed by the nurses' station. The young nurse who was scared by him yesterday was writing a record with her head down. When she saw him coming, her hands trembled noticeably and she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be busy.

Chen Yifan glanced at her and said nothing much. He knew that his current appearance, coupled with the anger he had yesterday, was indeed a bit scary, but he didn't care about that now. His mind was full of the prisoner's bones.

The elevator reached the first floor, and as soon as the door opened, Chen Yifan subconsciously glanced at the lobby. The hospital lobby wasn't crowded at this time, with only a few early-rising family members of patients sitting on benches and a nurse hurried by pushing a treatment cart.

Just as he was about to walk towards the gate, his gaze suddenly stopped. Sitting on a bench by the window in the hall was a figure wearing a pink hooded sweatshirt.

It's a prisoner's skeleton.

The little devil still had her hat brim pulled down low, her hands neatly placed on her knees, her back straight, like a student being punished by her teacher to sit still.

In front of her was a transparent plastic bottle, half-filled with boiled water, nothing else. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, the warm morning light contrasting with her body, creating a coldness.

Chen Yifan stopped immediately, hiding behind the pillar at the elevator entrance, staring intently at Qiu Gu. He cursed inwardly, "Fuck! This little girl hasn't left yet! She's actually sitting in the lobby. Does she think I can't touch her, or does she have some other tricks up her sleeve?"

He touched the cell phone in his pocket, wanting to call his brothers to ask them to come over, but then he changed his mind and put the phone back.

He had searched for her for half the night yesterday but couldn't find her. Now that she had shown up on her own initiative, if he rashly sent his brothers over, she might get away again. He also wanted to see what this girl was up to.

At this moment, Qiu Gu seemed to have noticed something and glanced towards the pillar where Chen Yifan was hiding. His heart tightened and he quickly shrank behind the pillar, but it was too late.

He saw Qiu Gu's eyes pause. Although there was a distance between them, he could still feel the coldness in his eyes. There was no surprise, no vigilance, as if he was looking at a stone.

Chen Yifan gritted his teeth and decided to stop hiding. He walked out from behind the pillar and headed straight towards the prisoner. He wanted to see if this girl dared to look him in the eye.

"You seem pretty damn laid back," Chen Yifan said, sitting down on the bench in front of Prisoner's Skeleton, his tone filled with hostility. "You were hiding yesterday, but how dare you sit in the hall today? Do you think I dare not touch you, or are you waiting for me to come find you?"

Qiu Gu didn't look at him, still staring at his knees, as if he didn't hear what he said.

"I'm asking you a question!" Chen Yifan was a little anxious and reached out to lift the brim of her hat. "Raise your head and talk! Don't act like a mute!"

Just as his hand touched the brim of the hat, Qiu Gu suddenly moved to the side, avoiding his hand, "Don't touch me."

Chen Yifan sneered, "Don't touch you? You were sneaking around yesterday, and you're acting like a jerk again today. I'm telling you, if you don't explain your purpose for coming to the hospital, I'm not only going to touch you, I'm also going to take you back to the Sky Eye Club and teach you what the rules are!"

Qiu Gu stopped talking again. Chen Yifan felt bored and too lazy to think about it anymore, so he went out to buy breakfast.

When she returned to the hospital lobby, Qiu Gu was still sitting there, in the same position as when she left. She saw Chen Yifan, only glanced at him faintly, then looked away, lowering her head again, as if waiting for something.

……

Twilight Quadruple.

Chen Yifan walked towards the ward carrying the thermos. He was stunned when he opened the door. Shen Ran was leaning against the headboard, holding a banana, and he handed it to Qiu Gu with a smile.

Qiu Gu sat on a chair beside the bed, his hands on his knees, and obediently took the banana. Although he didn't smile, his eyes were softer than usual.

"Hey? Why are you back so soon?" Shen Ran saw him and waved with a smile, "Come in, I'll introduce you."

Chen Yifan placed the lunch box on the bedside table and stared at Qiuge. "How the hell did you get in? Who let you in?"

Qiu Ge paused for a moment after being yelled at. The banana in his hand stopped in mid-air. He didn't dare to put it into his mouth. He just looked up at Shen Ran and lowered his head again, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Why are you so mean?" Shen Ran quickly protected his prisoner's bones and glared at Chen Yifan. "I let her in. She was just lingering at the door, so I asked her to come in and sit for a while. Besides, she's the savior of me and my child. How could you be so mean to her?"

Chen Yifan was stunned after hearing her narration of the whole story. He really didn't know anything about this. Shen Ran had never told him about the scoundrel she encountered, let alone the little girl who saved her.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Chen Yifan's tone was a little anxious. "What if something happens?"

"Hehe, I'm fine," Shen Ran smiled. "Thanks to Qiu Gu's help, she left before I could even thank her. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry."

"Even if she saved you, you can't let her into the ward casually!" Chen Yifan was still worried. He walked up to Qiu Gu and looked down at her. "I'm fucking warning you, don't think you can do whatever you want here just because you saved my wife. If you dare to do anything bad to her, I won't care if you're my savior or not, I'll kill you anyway!"

"Chen Yifan! That's enough!" Shen Ran slammed the bed angrily. "Can you not be so mean? She's just a little girl, what could she possibly do to me?"

She touched the prisoner's head and said softly, "It's okay. If you have nowhere to go, you can always come to me. I'll bring you food."
