He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

They walked silently, their footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor, until they arrived at Song Zhi's ward.

As Zhou Yan reached out his right hand, about to push open the tightly closed door, a clear, bell-like laugh suddenly came from inside the room.

"Hahaha, Auntie, this is hilarious, hahaha..."

Zhou Yan's movements froze instantly; his hand stopped in mid-air, and a barely perceptible look of surprise appeared on his face.

After a moment, he gently pushed open the door and went inside.

As soon as he entered, just as he expected, Wei Yinuo was sitting on the edge of the bed chatting and laughing with Song Zhi.

When Wei Yinuo heard the door being pushed open, she subconsciously turned her head and her eyes met Zhou Yan's.

She was clearly taken aback by Zhou Yan's sudden appearance and froze, her smile instantly turning to ice.

"How did you get here?" Wei Yinuo asked in surprise as she came to her senses.

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, stepped into the room, and closed the door behind him.

As he walked toward the hospital bed, he chuckled and joked, "Yinuo, your laughter is really loud. I could hear your 'magical voice' even before I was in the elevator."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo blushed and gave Zhou Yan a coquettish glare, saying, "It's not that exaggerated!"

At this moment, she finally noticed Xiao Wan standing behind Zhou Yan, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise and doubt.

After all, she didn't know that Zhou Yan actually knew her aunt's friend.

Zhou Yan walked to the bedside and gently placed the fruit basket he was carrying on the table beside him.

He glanced at the table and noticed it was covered with all sorts of snacks. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "You're not going to feed these snacks to the patient, are you?"

Upon seeing this, Wei Yinuo hurriedly explained, "Oh dear, how could that be? We absolutely did not give Auntie any snacks!"

As she spoke, she shook her head vigorously, looking very serious.

Zhou Yan immediately noticed the key word "we" in her words and couldn't help but feel puzzled, so he asked, "You guys? With whom?"

His gaze was fixed on Wei Yinuo, as if trying to glean some clues from her expression.

Just then, Xu Ning suddenly poked his head out of the bathroom, a surprised and delighted smile on his face, and said, "Brother, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

After saying that, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

When Zhou Yan saw Xu Ning, he frowned slightly and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "If I remember correctly, you should have already started school, right? Why aren't you in school? What are you doing here?"

Hearing Zhou Yan ask this, Xu Ning's heart tightened, but she still forced herself to answer, "Um...yes, school has indeed started, but it's because my aunt is sick, so I came with Yinuo to visit her."

"Auntie?" Zhou Yan was clearly surprised by the title, and he looked at Xu Ning again to confirm.

When Zhou Yan asked him that question, Xu Ning instantly felt a little guilty. His voice lowered unconsciously as he whispered and repeated, "Uh... yes, it's my sister-in-law."

Seeing Xu Ning so timid and cowardly in front of Zhou Yan, Wei Yinuo felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

She stepped forward to defend Xu Ning, saying, "Ah Ning, why are you afraid of him? You're not wrong! You and I are good friends, so of course you can call him 'Little Aunt' along with me. Do you want to be my elder and take advantage of me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning shook his head vigorously, repeatedly saying, "No, no! Absolutely not!"

You should know that he never even considered becoming Wei Yinuo's elder.

After all, he was planning to confess his feelings to her.

If they really become elders, wouldn't they not even have the chance to confess their feelings?

So he wouldn't even consider that idea.

Hearing Xu Ning's resolute answer, Wei Yinuo's lips curled up slightly, she nodded in satisfaction, and said softly, "Hmm, that's more like it."

Just then, Song Zhi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Alright, you two should say less."

After saying that, she turned to Zhou Yan and asked, "Why did you suddenly come here?"

Zhou Yan smiled gently at Song Zhi and replied, "I just came to see you. How is your recovery going today?"

Song Zhi nodded gently and replied, "It's fine, thank you for your concern."

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Zhou Yan smiled with relief.

He saw Wei Yinuo sitting on the sofa to the side, so he walked straight towards her.

"Yinuo, let's sit down and chat."

As he spoke, he sat down in the empty seat next to Wei Yinuo.

The next second, Wei Yinuo sprang up from the sofa with a "whoosh." She quickly turned around and shouted loudly at Xu Ning, "Ning, come on, let's play a game together!"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the sofa where Xu Ning was sitting, and without saying a word, she plopped down on the already cramped single sofa.

Zhou Yan's gaze fell on the two people sitting so close together. His brows furrowed involuntarily, and his face instantly darkened. He asked unhappily, "Why are you two sitting so close together?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo first looked at Xu Ning beside her with a blank expression, then turned her gaze to Zhou Yan, a look of confusion on her face.

Immediately afterwards, he rolled his eyes at Zhou Yan without any politeness, completely ignoring Zhou Yan's dissatisfaction, and turned to Xu Ning, saying, "Ning, this time you have to choose a better healer to heal me!"

After saying that, she winked at Xu Ning, looking all cute and charming.

Xu Ning smiled and nodded gently, replying, "Okay, I know! I'll definitely choose the strongest healer for you."

Seeing Wei Yinuo, Zhou Yan felt a surge of inexplicable anger, but he couldn't vent it.

He could only glare fiercely at the nonchalant Wei Yinuo, but Wei Yinuo seemed oblivious to his angry gaze, calmly continuing to play the game with Xu Ning, completely absorbed in it.

Song Zhi, lying in her hospital bed, witnessed all of this.

She shook her head helplessly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Wan, who was sitting beside her hospital bed, and asked softly, "Wanwan, why did you suddenly come here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan replied truthfully, "Actually... I was about to leave, but I happened to run into Brother Zhou Yan, so I came with him to visit you."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhou Yan, who was standing not far away, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Where is Qin Zheng? Where did he go?"

"He left a long time ago. If I hadn't suddenly received a call from my brother, I probably would have left with him by now. Sigh..."

"Why are you sighing like that? Did your brother yell at you?"
