He had already run to the browser to check what a boys’ love novel was, so Qi Bufan naturally knew what it meant to suffer. He was stunned for a few seconds before he quickly deleted Dai Chukong’s message to prevent Fang Yusheng from seeing it.
He felt that Dai Chukong was really bold. She actually dared to fantasize about him and Mr. Fang…
When Fang Yusheng came to the hospital to visit him the next day, he even asked him how he felt. “How is it? Have you read the books Ah Sheng sent you?”
Qi Bufan shook his head and stole another look at Fang Yusheng, his eyes full of guilt.
Fang Yusheng realized this and his eyes became suspicious. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Qi Bufan shook his head hurriedly. “Nothing.” Seeing that Fang Yusheng did not believe him, Qi Bufan raised two fingers like he was swearing to God and said, “It’s really nothing!”
Fang Yusheng felt that he must have a guilty conscience.
However, no matter how smart he was, he could not guess the truth.
Fang Yusheng thought for a moment and thought that Qi Bufan was thinking about the mess between him and Dai Chukong. His attitude became more serious as he asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“What?” Qi Bufan did not follow him.
Fang Yusheng said, “You and Chukong.”
Qi Bufan fell silent.
Fang Yusheng lowered his head and played with his phone, not asking Qi Bufan anymore.
After an unknown period of time, he heard Qi Bufan ask, “Do you still have a room for me at home? I want to stay in villa number nine for a while.”
Fang Yusheng looked up and stared at Qi Bufan speechlessly. “If you go to my house, will yours be empty?”
Qi Bufan knew what Fang Yusheng meant. Fang Yusheng thought that it would be better for Chukong to take care of him at this time. However, Qi Bufan still insisted on his thoughts. He felt that he could not continue to be with Dai Chukong.
Qi Bufan said, “I haven’t eaten Auntie Jin’s food in a long time. I miss it.”
Fang Yusheng narrowed his green eyes. His gaze was sharp, making people not dare to look at him directly. “Bufan, are you hiding from her?”
“No.”
Qi Bufan shook his head and said, “If I can’t give her what she wants, I shouldn’t give her hope. Living with her is actually a kind of torture for her.”
“If Mr. Fang doesn’t mind the trouble, I want to stay at Mansion Number Nine for a while.” He thought of something and his eyes darkened. He added, “Besides that place, I have nowhere else to go.”
Fang Yusheng’s lips moved a few times.
These words sounded quite pitiful. In the end, Fang Yusheng did not persuade Qi Bufan anymore. He only sighed and replied, “Of course. I said before that we’re family. If you want to go home, just tell me.”
Fang Yusheng glanced at Qi Bufan’s chest and asked, “When will you be discharged?”
“The doctor said that it’s fine even if it’s the day after tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow then. I’ll pick you up with the chauffeur.”
“Okay.”
When Fang Yusheng left, he bumped into Dai Chukong, who had rushed over. Dai Chukong was running towards the ward. When she saw Fang Yusheng, she stopped in her tracks and greeted him respectfully.
Fang Yusheng stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that Dai Chukong’s face was slightly red and she had obviously run for a while anxiously, he asked, “Where did you come from? Didn’t you take a taxi?”
Dai Chukong said, “I was delayed by something. I took a taxi here. There was some traffic on the street outside, so I ran straight over.”
“I see…” Fang Yusheng nodded and pointed at the ward door behind him. “Bufan will be discharged tomorrow.”
“Really?” Dai Chukong was overjoyed.
She said, “Then I have to go back and clean up the house tonight and buy some groceries…” She was still looking forward to Qi Bufan being discharged tomorrow and taking care of him personally. Fang Yusheng wanted to tell her the truth, but he could not bear to.
He nodded before saying, “Go and see him. I’ll be leaving now. I’ll pick him up tomorrow.”
“Okay!”
Without thinking too much about the meaning behind Fang Yusheng’s words, Dai Chukong ran into the ward briskly. Qi Bufan was drinking water. Upon seeing her arrive, he took his time to drink the last mouthful of water in the glass before saying to her, “You look like you’re sweating. What did you do?”
Dai Chukong shook her head and said that she did not do anything.
She walked to the bed and sat down. She asked Qi Bufan, “I just bumped into Brother Fang. He said that you’ll be discharged tomorrow, right?”
“Yes.”
“That’s great! I’ve wanted you to be discharged for a long time. It’s really depressing staying in the hospital.” Dai Chukong brought some fruits. She picked a few longans, peeled them, and brought them to Qi Bufan’s mouth.
“Yes,” Dai Chukong said.
Qi Bufan lowered his eyes to look at the longans in front of him. The fingers holding the logan were delicate and fair, something only young girls had. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he lowered his head and sucked on the logan.
Dai Chukong peeled a few more and occasionally ate one herself. She gave the rest to Qi Bufan.
As she peeled the logans, she said to Qi Bufan, “Do you want to drink lotus root soup? I have a classmate who sells lotus roots. It’s suitable for drinking lotus root soup in winter. If you want to drink it, I can buy two pounds from my classmate.”
“By the way, isn’t Sister Ah Sheng pregnant? Why don’t I buy more and send some to them?”
When Dai Chukong said this, there was a faint smile on her cold face.
Qi Bufan stared at the girl’s young face and his heart ached.
How could such a beautiful and adorable girl fall in love with an old man like him?
Realizing that Qi Bufan was distracted, Dai Chukong was not sure if he was listening to her seriously, so she asked, “Are you listening to me?”
“Chukong.”
Qi Bufan called her name seriously.
Dai Chukong nodded with a smile on her face. She was like a peach blossom in March, red and charming.
Qi Bufan looked at her smiling face and calmed down. He said, “Come with me to a place tomorrow.”
“Where?” Dai Chukong was a little surprised and curious. Other than that, she was also a little angry. “You’re still sick. Your wound hasn’t completely healed. It’s not appropriate for you to move too much now.”
Qi Bufan nodded and said, “I know, but I hope you can accompany me to a place.”
Dai Chukong lowered her head and thought for a long time before asking, “Where are we going?”
Qi Bufan said, “Shen Cheng.”
Shen City was a famous city in the north. It was Dai Chukong’s hometown.
Dai Chukong was stunned and subconsciously asked, “Why are we going to Shen City?”
“Something came up.”
Dai Chukong frowned. Clearly, she did not want to go.
“Chukong, accompany me.” There was a hint of pleading in Qi Bufan’s voice. Dai Chukong could not reject Qi Bufan’s request, so she agreed in the end.
That night, Fang Yusheng received a short message from Qi Bufan. Qi Bufan informed Fang Yusheng that he was going to Shen Chen tomorrow and asked Fang Yusheng to send a chauffeur to help him bring his things back to the Fang residence.
Fang Yusheng was a little puzzled.
He asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Why do you think Bufan went to Shen Cheng?”
Qiao Jiusheng leaned against the chaise longue. Upon hearing this question, her gaze temporarily shifted away from a famous novel. She shook her head slightly and said, “Perhaps he’s going to see an ice sculpture?”
“He’s still sick.” Would a person whose heart had yet to recover run to see an ice sculpture?
It was impossible to guess.
