Chapter 62: Let’s Meet Now
Yue Tingyun had already been transferred from the danger zone to a regular single-person ward, but he was still unconscious.
Lin Xiao looked at Yue Tingyun lying quietly on the bed, only his face visible from beneath the blankets, feeling both angry and distressed.
Qi Yue saw his friend in this state, realizing that things might work out between them.
“Yue Tingyun is out of danger now. You’ve been up early; why don’t you rest for a while?” Qi Yue stood next to Lin Xiao and said softly, gesturing for him to take a seat and rest. Lin Xiao suffers from constipation every day.
“Alright, Yue Yue, thanks for being with me today. I’ve also delayed our plans…”
“What are you saying? We’re together, why talk like that? It feels distant.”
“Okay then!”
Lin Xiao smiled and sat down with Qi Yue on the nearby bench.
After comforting Lin Xiao and letting him rest, Qi Yue checked the time and realized it was already past ten in the morning.
He absentmindedly scrolled through his phone until he unexpectedly found himself in the chat box with Shen Kuozhi.
However, he also had something on his mind that needed confirmation.
Although Shen Kuozhi had declined his dinner invitation yesterday, after experiencing today’s events, Qi Yue felt an urgent impulse to meet Shen Kuozhi.
[Qi Yue: Shen Ge, let’s meet up. I can come to your company to find you. It won’t take up too much of your time.]
After editing the message, Qi Yue hesitated for a moment before finally hitting send.
It didn’t take long for Shen Kuozhi to see Qi Yue’s message, but he didn’t know how to reply. So, it took a whole hour before Qi Yue received a response.
[Shen Kuozhi: Alright, let’s meet at a nearby café. When do you want to meet? I’ll send you the address then.]
Qi Yue: Alright, how about tomorrow? Is that okay?
Shen Kuozhi: Sure, tomorrow morning then.
Qi Yue: OK

“You’re going out? Do you know there are risks if you leave the hospital in your current condition?”
“It’s better than before. I know what I’m doing.”
“You really don’t care about your life, do you? I just don’t understand you guys. Can’t you just meet without physically going out? It’s the modern age; can’t you video call?”
Qi Yunhan looked at Shen Kuozhi speechlessly. After not seeing him for a few years, he couldn’t believe that his former good buddy, who seemed destined for a lonely life, had now turned into an annoying lovebird. It completely overturned his worldview.
Shen Kuozhi didn’t explain much to Qi Yunhan. After all, there were many things he couldn’t tell Qi Yunhan. Those memories would forever remain sealed in his mind, and he wouldn’t let anyone know about them.
“I won’t stay out for long, and nothing will happen. If you’re really worried, just come with me tomorrow.”
Shen Kuozhi insisted on his decision, unyielding to anyone.
Seeing that he was determined to go out, Qi Yunhan realized he couldn’t do anything about it.
He waved his hand helplessly and said, “Alright, alright. Having a patient like you is the ‘blessing’ I earned in my past life. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Finally, Qi Yunhan muttered under his breath.
“I really don’t know if that kid saved your life or what. Seems like he’s got a hold on your soul.”
Shen Kuozhi glanced at Qi Yunhan without saying anything, silently giving his own answer in his heart.
Yue Yue did more than just save my life; he gave me a reason to live.

“He’s awake!”
When Yue Tingyun opened his eyes, all he could see was a glaring white light. However, Lin Xiao’s voice reached his ears, causing him to involuntarily curl his lips. He had wanted to look handsome in front of Lin Xiao, but now, with all these bandages and his expression, he looked not only ridiculous but also ugly.
As Yue Tingyun adjusted to the light in the room and saw Lin Xiao standing beside his bed, he became even more at a loss.
“Why are your eyes so red? I’m fine, don’t worry. I thought even if I died, you wouldn’t be sad, but it seems like Smiling Treasure still cares about me.”
Yue Tingyun lay on the bed and teased.
Lin Xiao had been feeling sad, but Yue Tingyun’s teasing made him forget about it. He even felt like punching the man lying on the bed.
“You’re still so cheeky even with all these bandages. If I knew, I wouldn’t have come to see you. I’d let you fend for yourself in the hospital!”
At this moment, Yue Tingyun’s mother, who had been watching their interaction the whole time, also finally laughed.
When Yue Tingyun’s mother learned from Lin Xiao’s brother about her son’s car accident, her whole body was trembling with anxiety. Fortunately, when she rushed over, she learned that Yue Tingyun was out of danger.
She knew her son was a flirt, but she didn’t expect him to meet someone recently who made him want to settle down. Today was her first meeting with Lin Xiao. Seeing how caring Lin Xiao was for her son, she felt relieved. It seemed her son wouldn’t end up lonely after all; he had a companion now.
“Son, when you’re better, you must thank Master Lin and his friend, Master Qi. If they hadn’t notified me, today might have ended tragically!”
Yue Tingyun’s mother said, her eyes becoming a bit moist.
“Naturally, Mom. This debt of gratitude, I will repay with my life. I will spend my whole life repaying you.”
When Yue Tingyun said this, his eyes were sincere, and his tone was serious, not joking at all.
Lin Xiao didn’t expect this shameless guy to pull such a move in front of his mother, making him feel embarrassed!
“Well, you should also see if Smiling Treasure is willing to accept you, you cheeky monkey!”
Yue Tingyun’s mother laughed, covering her mouth.
She liked Lin Xiao the moment she saw him; they got along well, and they looked like a perfect match.
If Yue Tingyun didn’t seize the opportunity and let Smiling Treasure slip away, she would be furious even in her dreams!
Caught between Yue Tingyun and his mother’s playful banter, Lin Xiao couldn’t believe how approachable Yue Tingyun’s mother was. It was almost scary how warm and friendly she was.
As a result, with Yue Tingyun’s mother present, Lin Xiao couldn’t display his usual wit and charm. He could only helplessly look at Qi Yue, who remained silent beside him.
Qi Yue blinked, trying hard to suppress the urge to smile, then quietly turned away, pretending not to notice, and instead looked out the window at the scenery.
“Let’s not disturb Yue Tingyun’s rest. Let him rest quietly.”
In the end, Lin Xiao gave up and chose to shut up Yue Tingyun, who was lying on the bed, stirring up trouble.
Seeing her son in good spirits and able to talk, except for not being able to move around, Yue Tingyun’s mother felt relieved.
“Yes, yes, son, rest well. We won’t disturb you anymore. Come on, Lin Xiao, Qi Yue, you haven’t had lunch yet. Auntie will take you to have lunch.”
Under Yue Tingyun’s mother’s enthusiastic persuasion, Lin Xiao and Qi Yue were both led away by her to have lunch at a hotel.
As for Yue Tingyun, who was still lying in bed, he was naturally left in the care of the nurses.
Watching the three of them leaving without any reluctance, Yue Tingyun, who couldn’t move in bed, could only watch them from under the covers.
After they left, Yue Tingyun’s mother bowed to them in the corridor and sincerely said, “I’m really grateful to you for what happened to Yunyun today!”
“It’s nothing, Auntie. Whatever relationship I and Yue Tingyun have, it’s what we should do.”
Lin Xiao and Qi Yue couldn’t resist the respect of their elders. They hurriedly helped Yue Tingyun’s mother up.
“No matter what, you saved Yunyun’s life. If you need any help in the future, tell Auntie. If Auntie can help, she will definitely help. Just don’t think Auntie is useless…”
“How could that be, Auntie? We would feel guilty if you said that. “
After having lunch with Yue Tingyun’s mother, the three of them went back to visit Yue Tingyun until seven or eight in the evening, when Lin Xiao and Qi Yue finally went home.
The next day, Lin Xiao went to visit Yue Tingyun alone, while Qi Yue went to the café to meet with Shen Kuozhi.
They had agreed to meet at nine in the morning, but Qi Yue arrived here at eight o’clock, choosing a window seat with a good view.
At 8:45, a black Maybach smoothly pulled into the nearby underground parking lot.
A pair of well-proportioned long legs stepped out from the passenger side, accompanied by a casual remark.
“I’ll go in first.”
Qi Weixiong, sitting in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he heard Shen Kuozhi’s words.
“Alright, alright, got it. I don’t have a hobby of being a third wheel. Just don’t make a scene and faint on me again.”
“Thanks~”
Before the passenger door closed, Shen Kuozhi heard Qi Weixiong’s words, and his lips curled up slightly as he cheerfully thanked him.
Qi Weixiong was taken aback by Shen Kuozhi’s smile.
Heavens! What did he just see?
Shen Kuozhi actually smiled like that. It was something he had never imagined in his lifetime.
The former Shen Kuozhi gave him the impression of being calm, quiet, reliable, always well-organized, and emotionally reserved. But after just a few years abroad, Shen Kuozhi seemed like a completely different person.
Now, Shen Kuozhi joked around, and teased people, though he was still sarcastic at times, and even had a bit of a romantic side. But at least he seemed more like a normal person now.
With this comparison, Qi Weixiong finally understood what he felt about the previous Shen Kuozhi.
The old Shen Kuozhi was undoubtedly very capable, which he admired and respected, but he lacked some human touch.
At that time, Shen Kuozhi was too rational, sometimes to the point where people wondered if he had normal human emotions.
If this change in Shen Kuozhi was brought about by that person named Qi Yue, then Qi Weixiong wouldn’t be surprised why Shen Kuozhi had become “romantic.”
Shen Kuozhi naturally didn’t know how shocked Qi Weixiong was feeling. At this moment, he had already merged with Qi Yue.
It had been since their last meeting at that party when Shen Kuozhi fell into a coma. This time, Shen Kuozhi’s complexion had improved significantly, and with a little makeup to cover up his cunning, he was sure Qi Yue wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
Indeed, when Qi Yue saw Shen Kuozhi walking towards him, the graceful manner in which he moved relieved Qi Yue unconsciously.
Even Qi Yue himself didn’t realize that when he saw Yue Tingyun lying on the hospital bed, he was fantasizing about Shen Kuozhi.
If the person lying on the hospital bed were indeed Shen Kuozhi, his emotions probably wouldn’t be much better than they were with Lin Xiao back then.
But Qi Yue didn’t want to dwell on these thoughts.
“What would you like to drink?”
“Anything is fine.”
There was a subtle tension between the two of them.
Their collaborative project hadn’t made much progress so far, so there wasn’t much to talk about on that front.
And Qi Yue’s main purpose this time was indeed to meet Shen Kuozhi.
“Well…”
At this moment, a voice interrupted the words Qi Yue had yet to speak.
