"Tell me, why?" Pei Xingzhi stared into Qin Song's eyes, trying to coax her into giving him the answer.

"Why do you want to die with me? Why don't you want to live without me?"

Qin Song parted her red lips slightly, and although she was a little shy, she still managed to put the answer on her tongue under Pei Xingzhi's coaxing.

"because……"

"Serves him right, I curse him to never wake up!"

Pei Lingxuan's voice, filled with resentment and anger, suddenly rang out at the door of the ward, instantly shattering the romantic atmosphere between the two.

Qin Song suddenly snapped back to reality, and as if she had been burned, she quickly pushed Pei Xingzhi away and backed away.

Pei Xingzhi held her hand tightly and pulled her back forcefully the next second after she had just stepped back.

"Why are you running?" Pei Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, a malicious smile playing on his lips. "We're a legally married couple, isn't it normal for us to sit close together?"

"I..." Qin Song stammered, his face turning red with embarrassment.

Pei Xingzhi endured the pain and lay back on the hospital bed, his large hand firmly enveloping Qin Song's small hand. He raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "You run away as soon as someone comes. Is my identity something shameful?"

"Sit here and keep me company, you're not allowed to go anywhere."

Qin Song lowered his head and said, "Oh."

"Brother! You're awake!"

Pei Lingxuan pushed open the door and almost ran to Pei Xingzhi's bedside.

"Brother, you're finally awake. You have no idea how scared I've been these past few days." She squatted down beside Qin Song's legs, her eyes already red before she could finish speaking.

"What are you afraid of?" Pei Xingzhi released Qin Song's hand, raised his arm with difficulty, and touched Pei Lingxuan's head. "Your brother survived a great calamity. I'm very lucky."

"Hmph..." Pei Lingxuan pouted and burst into tears. "You still have the mood to joke? You have no idea how worried and scared we've been these past few days."

"It's a good thing that you can joke around; at least it proves that your brother is completely out of danger." Qin Song reached out to help Pei Lingxuan up and wiped away the two tears on her face.

"Don't cry, pull up a chair and sit down."

Pei Lingxuan rubbed her eyes and nodded, as always obedient to Qin Song: "Mm."

"What did you just say?" Pei Xingzhi picked up a tissue from the bed and handed it to her, asking curiously, "What do you mean 'deserves not to wake up'? Who can't wake up?"

Pei Lingxuan folded the tissue into a small square and carefully wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks, trying not to ruin her freshly applied makeup.

"Qin Wushuang, it's quite a coincidence. On the same day you were hospitalized after your car accident, he was also admitted to the emergency room of this hospital because of illness. As a result, he probably got his comeuppance for doing too many bad things. He has been in a coma since he came out of the emergency room and has not shown any signs of waking up yet."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi almost instinctively turned to look at Qin Song. Qin Song, however, kept her head down, letting her long eyelashes obscure the emotions in her eyes.

Pei Xingzhi couldn't see her expression, but he was certain she knew something.

"Xiao Song?" He took Qin Song's hand again and called her softly.

"Hmm?" Qin Song looked up at him, her eyes icy cold.

Pei Xingzhi smiled at her but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Pei Lingxuan, "How do you know Qin Wushuang hasn't woken up yet?"

"Heh..." Pei Lingxuan laughed gleefully, "Qin Wushuang's ward is on the same floor as yours. I just saw the Qin family talking to the doctor when I got off the elevator. I don't know what the doctor said, but the Qin family all cried after hearing it."

"Qin Wushuang's mother cried especially hard, crying and shouting, 'Oh, when will my son wake up? Are you doctors even capable? If not, I'll transfer him to another hospital.'"

As she spoke, Pei Lingxuan helplessly shrugged: "His mother was crying so loudly that it was hard for me not to want to know."

"Hmph," Pei Xingzhi chuckled ambiguously, without saying a word.

Qin Song knew he didn't want to hear Qin Wushuang's name, so he changed the subject: "Xiao Xuan, take out that recording and let your brother listen to it."

"No need." Pei Xingzhi patted her hand. "Ye Ci has already sent me the recording. I listened to it twice at noon and I've pretty much figured it out."

"So what do you think?" Qin Song asked, looking at him.

He raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "I think what He Miao said is true. Xiao Yushu didn't lie to her."

"Hmm." Qin Song nodded in agreement.

But Pei Lingxuan was a little confused: "Brother, how can you be sure that Xiao Yushu didn't lie to He Miao?"

Pei Xingzhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "First of all, this matter was accidentally let slip by Xiao Yushu when she was drunk, rather than when she was sober and used gossip or complaining as an excuse to reveal the matter to He Miao, so the possibility that she did it on purpose is very small."

"Secondly, when He Miao joined Wei Lan Studio, none of Zhou Limin's people knew about her relationship with you, so Xiao Yushu had no reason to deliberately tell her about it."

“Oh…” Pei Lingxuan understood now.

"Ugh." She slapped her forehead in exasperation and complained, "I've had so many chores these past few days that my brain is practically rusted. I can't even figure out something this simple."

"It's okay." Qin Song patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile.

She shook her head helplessly, sighed, and got up from her chair: "Forget it, I'll leave these brain-intensive tasks to you guys from now on. My brain is really getting a bit dull these days."

After saying that, she waved to Qin Song and turned to walk towards the door of the ward.

"Xiao Xuan, where are you going?" Qin Song asked, puzzled.

Pei Lingxuan picked up the handbag on the table and slung it weakly over her shoulder, her tone revealing a deep weariness: "Zhou Limin asked me to go out with him for a social event again, I should probably go now."

Pei Xingzhi: "Be careful, call me if anything happens."

Pei Lingxuan gave an "OK" sign with her hand in return: "Got it."

……

Qin Song kept a complete secret of his revenge plan from Pei Xingzhi. Therefore, when Shen Yanhui came to her with what Qin Song wanted, she could only sneak out of the ward under the pretext of sending a package.

People were coming and going at the hospital entrance, but Qin Song spotted Shen Yanhui, who was as thin as a sheet of paper, at a glance.

Shen Yanhui's mental state was better than a few days ago, but she still looked listless.

"There are too many people here, let's talk in my car." Shen Yan waved the file bag in her hand, successfully luring Qin Song into her car.

"I've only got two of the things you're looking for so far, and they're both in here."

After getting into the car, Shen Yan handed the file folder directly to Qin Song. Qin Song weighed the folder in his hand and frowned suspiciously: "So light?"

Shen Yan replied: "Of course it's light with just a few photos."
