Is anyone with you?

Shen Liuyun's mind went blank; he had long since stopped needing anyone's company.

He shook his head: "No."

Ji Qiuzhe was reluctant to leave. The thought of Shen Liuyun lying alone in the ward made him feel sad.

"How about I come with you?"

Shen Liuyun's pupils dilated; he was stunned.

Ji Qiuzhe made an excuse for himself: "After all, I brought you here, so I should do a good deed to the end."

He dared not look Shen Liuyun in the eye, fearing a negative answer.

"it is good."

Shen Liuyun didn't know why, but he impulsively agreed.

Perhaps he was also looking forward to those words, or perhaps he saw Ji Qiuzhe so nervous that he dared not look him in the eye.

He couldn't bear to refuse this person.

"Really?" Ji Qiuzhe asked in surprise.

"Ah."

Shen Liuyun fiddled with the IV line in her hand, feeling a bit flustered.

"Then you lie down, I'll go wash the dishes."

Ji Qiuzhe happily went to the bathroom to wash the insulated box.

When he came out again, he saw Shen Liuyun staring at him with wide eyes. Ji Qiuzhe thought he was just feeling unwell and was too embarrassed to say so.

"What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"

He stepped forward and tentatively touched Shen Liuyun's forehead with the back of his hand.

Just touch and leave.

Her forehead was no longer hot, the fever had completely subsided, and her complexion looked much better than before.

Ji Qiuzhe was relieved.

Shen Liuyun buried half her face in the blanket, feeling her forehead burning hot.

Ji Qiuzhe spent the afternoon at the hospital. When it was time to eat, instead of ordering takeout or going out to buy food, he went downstairs to the cafeteria to buy dinner.

The food at the hospital was bland, but it was clean and hygienic, and the ingredients were very fresh.

Shen Liuyun no longer felt any obvious discomfort. He didn't have a strong palate and thought the food in the cafeteria was quite delicious, so he ate a lot.

Wait until you finish eating.

He kept trying to chat with Ji Qiuzhe, but he felt guilty whenever he met the man's gaze. After a few times, his heart almost stopped.

He wanted to ask Ji Qiuzhe how long he meant by "accompanying" him, and whether he would be staying overnight.

The more I hesitated to ask, the more nervous I became.

Ji Qiuzhe was also thinking about how to stay on night watch in a way that would be natural and not offend Shen Liuyun.

Ultimately, considering that Ji Qiuzhe's romantic feelings were unclear, Shen Liuyun decided to send him away.

"you……"

"I……"

They both spoke at the same time.

Shen Liuyun said, "Why don't you..."

Ji Qiuzhe noticed his hesitation and quickly answered, "I'll stay overnight."

Shen Liuyun: ...

"Okay." It's not impossible.

He would never admit that he felt a sense of relief.

He agreed!

Ji Qiuzhe suppressed his excitement and said, "Then I'll go home, wash up, and come back."

Then he asked Shen Liuyun, "Is there anything you need me to bring for you?"

Shen Liuyun did want to take a bath.

Asking Ji Qiuzhe to help carry things is a very presumptuous request.

But he hadn't showered all night and couldn't bear not showering for two more nights, so he handed the house key to Ji Qiuzhe.

"If possible, could you please bring me some changes of clothes?"

Shen Liuyun was actually a little uneasy after giving out the key.

It always feels unsettling to let a neighbor you've only recently met come into your home alone to fetch a change of clothes, including even your personal items...

Fortunately, he has surveillance cameras at home, so he can know immediately if this person has any ill intentions.

Ji Qiuzhe looked at the keychain with a squinty-eyed calico cat plush toy hanging from it and immediately assured him:

"Of course, I'll be back soon, wait for me."

"it is good."

Having received the promise, Shen Liuyun couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Ji Qiuzhe took the insulated box home, washed it again, and put it away. He then took a shower to keep himself clean before taking some things that he thought Shen Liuyun might need and opening the door next door.

Shen Liuyun's house had a lot of storage, and all the clutter was stored away, making the whole house look as spacious as a showroom. It was so clean that Ji Qiuzhe almost didn't know where to step.

[Host, there's a hidden camera in the living room. The villain is watching you.] 003 reminded Ji Qiuzhe to be careful.

Ji Qiuzhe hadn't planned to do anything anyway; he wasn't the kind of dog who liked to claim territory!

He glanced at the room layout casually before looking away.

He's not very familiar with Shen Liuyun yet, and there will be plenty of time to look at this house properly later, so there's no rush.

Following Shen Liuyun's instructions, Ji Qiuzhe went to the bedroom and quickly found a change of clothes.

I didn't look at it much, quickly left, and locked the door.

The entire process takes no more than three minutes.

in the hospital.

Looking at the empty living room, Shen Liuyun didn't know what to feel. His wariness of Ji Qiuzhe was like a joke.

This person seems to be genuinely just someone who enjoys helping others.

He seemed to want to avoid any further involvement with him, and even on this rare opportunity to visit his own home, he treated it as a routine and didn't give him a second glance.

He should have realized after waiting a month without any news that even though this man had broken up with his ex, he had no interest in Shen Liuyun.

What should have been a reassuring truth turned into a cathartic release. He withdrew from the surveillance footage, clutching his phone and burying his head deep in the blankets.

By the time Ji Qiuzhe returned, Shen Liuyun had already adjusted her mindset.

Let's be friends then!

There's no need to guess what Ji Qiuzhe is thinking, nor to worry about being forced to drift apart due to emotional entanglements.

"Here, I've taken everything I needed, and I've also brought some things I think you might need."

Ji Qiuzhe handed a large bag to Shen Liuyun.

"Thank you."

Shen Liuyun opened it and took a look.

Besides the change of clothes he needed, there was also a portable hairdryer, shampoo and shower gel samples, as well as brand new bath towels and slippers.

They considered everything for him, from head to toe.

Ji Qiuzhe pressed the call bell by the bedside to ask the nurse to come and help Shen Liuyun remove the indwelling needle.

The indwelling needle was quickly removed.

Shen Liuyun looked at the small blood hole on the back of her hand, and after a while, she took her things into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom again, it was completely dark.

Due to limited resources, Shen Liuyun had no choice but to put the dirty clothes in the closet and wash them when she got home.

The ward had two beds, but the room next door was always empty. During the day, it didn't seem strange, but at night, Shen Liuyun realized that the atmosphere in the ward, which only had the two of them, was a bit odd.

Ji Qiuzhe had already unfolded the care bed and lay down.

Shen Liuyun's hair wasn't dry. His hand, which had been pricked by needles, was still a bit weak, so he only managed to dry it halfway with one hand. It was a mess, and he had to use his fingers as a comb to tidy it up a bit.

Ji Qiuzhe naturally noticed, "Is your hair not dry?"

Shen Liuyun felt embarrassed for a moment, but still nodded.

"Ah."

Ji Qiuzhe frowned.

If it's short hair, it's fine; it will air dry naturally in no time.

But Shen Liuyun has medium-length hair, so it definitely won't be dry in a short time.
