Night Fire Lingering

Jiang Xing hadn't asked Ying Kaian about Lou Qi these past few days. Firstly, Lou Qi was still recovering and it wasn't appropriate to worry about him. Secondly, Jiang Xing knew Lou Qi could handle it.

Lou Qi subconsciously paid attention to Jiang Xing's reaction—she unconsciously sat up straight and looked at Gao Zhu.

Lou Qi felt somewhat displeased.

“Let’s go take a look,” Lou Qi said.

"The doctor said you need to rest," Jiang Xing disagreed.

“A wheelchair will do.” Lou Qi looked at Jiang Xing and asked, “Don’t you want to see him?”

The question is rather ambiguous.

She did want to see him, to know why he killed her—even though she already guessed the reason, she still wanted to confirm it for herself.

Otherwise, I won't give up.

But why does it sound so strange coming from Lou Qi's mouth?

ten minutes later.

Lou Qi was helped into a wheelchair by a caregiver, during which he aggravated his rib injury, causing him to frown in pain.

It was early winter, and the weather was getting colder. Jiang Xing took a blanket and put it on his legs to keep him warm.

Lou Qi looked listlessly at the blanket on his lap.

“You don’t look very happy.” Jiang Xing squatted down in front of him, looking him in the eye.

She felt that patients still needed to maintain their physical and mental health, and during special periods, she was selectively willing to take care of their emotions.

“You treat me like an old man.” Lou Qi placed his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair.

Jiang Xing looked at him with a face full of question marks. After scrutinizing him for two seconds, she asked, "Are you sure this is why you're unhappy?"

Lou Qiming was already in a bad mood before she even covered her with the blanket.

Besides, he should be happy that she brought him a blanket!

Perhaps because he was too relaxed, Lou Qi couldn't control himself and looked at Jiang Xing with slight surprise.

She actually figured it out?

This reaction confirmed Jiang Xing's suspicions. She found it absurd, but still asked, "Are you unhappy because I'm paying attention to Ying Kaian?"

Lou Qi looked at her expressionlessly, tacitly agreeing.

Jiang Xing hesitated, looking speechless.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Lou Qi waited for a long time but Jiang Xing didn't speak until Jiang Xing pushed his wheelchair out.

Jiang Xing gave him a "what's there to say?" look and said, "I don't understand your thought process. Shouldn't I be concerned about my enemy? Especially someone who killed my parents and wants to kill me too!"

Lou Qi: "..."

Is this woman saying he's being unreasonable?

-

When Jiang Xing and Lou Qi arrived, the doctor had just finished his rounds and was about to leave. Upon seeing Lou Qi and Jiang Xing, Ying Kaian panicked and called out to the doctor.

"Doctor, I have a headache! Don't go!" Ying Kaian shouted with all his might, but the doctor seemed not to hear anything and left without looking back.

With his hopes dashed and his last bit of strength exhausted, his frail body suddenly slumped back onto the hospital bed, watching in horror as Lou Qi and Jiang Xing walked in.

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Xing saw Ying Kaian trembling. "You dare to kill, but you're afraid to see your target? Ying Kaian, you weren't this cowardly before."

Ying Kaian was indeed fearless when he schemed against Jiang Xing's parents in the past, but this time he directly hurt Lou Qi!

Jiang Xing's gaze fell on his face, which was wrapped in a large gauze. If it left a scar, it would probably be disfigured.

She recalled Lou Qi's inexplicable words and couldn't help but glance at the man.

Lou Qi: "..."

Ying Kaian could not admit: "I don't understand what you're saying. The police came and found that the brakes on my car had failed."

"Heh." Lou Qi suddenly laughed. "A fool would think that prison is a terrible place."

On the contrary, sometimes, prison is the place that protects people.
