Fang Tongtong looked at the expression on Shen Zhilie’s face and knew the answer.
 

She squeezed her eyes shut and clasped her hands together in front as she earnestly said,
I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose, Old Shen! I had no idea that you were on the phone. The person on the line… Was it Ye Qianqian?

 

Shen Zhilie’s expression looked hostile. He didn’t reply to her question but said instead,
I think it’s better if you stop coming. My injury has improved a lot, and I’ll be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days. I don’t need you to take care of me anymore.

 

Fang Tongtong’s heart skipped a beat,
No way! That’s not going to happen!

 

Shen Zhilie frowned when he heard that.
I can now get up on my own and have no problems eating or going to the bathroom. I don’t need anyone to take care of me any longer.

 

Fang Tongtong suddenly realized that she might have overreacted and was silent for a moment before saying,
You might think that you’re almost well, but Xiao Gu just told me that your injury is within its healing period. There’s every chance that the wound can open again anytime. If it bleeds again and gets inflamed, that will be very problematic.

 


Gu Yuansheng told you that?

 

Fang Tongtong nodded her head.
 


Have Gu Yuansheng come in and tell it to me personally.

 

Fang Tongtong’s expression turned ugly as she asked,
Don’t you believe me? The only reason why I’ve been coming here for the past few days to take care of you is that you don’t want to let Ye Qianqian find out about it, and I dare not tell her about it! I have to interact with her every day, and I’m always on tenterhooks that I might lose my resolve and spill the beans to her! Do you have any idea how hard it is on me?

 

Fang Tongtong’s words were straightforward and carried an indescribable tone of grievance with them.
 

Shen Zhilie pursed his lips and kept silent.
 


I am Qianqian’s best friend. Qianqian has been so busy lately and has been ending work late at night every day! Since it’s the weekend now, and you can’t do without someone to take care of you, I think it’s best if I tell her about it.
As Fang Tongtong spoke, she picked up her cellphone and made the move to call Ye Qianqian.
 

Shen Zhilie’s expression darkened when he saw that.
Are you threatening me?

 


How is this threatening you? Calling your girlfriend to come and take care of you is common sense! But Ye Qianqian has been so busy lately, and you’re worried about tiring her out. As Ye Qianqian’s best friend, I had no choice but to help her out. Because of your demand, I’m caught between the two of you. Now, you’re chasing me away. This is fcking…

 

Fang Tongtong’s eyes reddened as she ranted.
 

She turned around and said,
Forget it. It’s a weekend anyway. Just call her to come on your own.

 

The way she phrased and said that…
 

It put Shen Zhilie in a dilemma. He reached out his hand and called out,
Hold on. How do you intend to Ye Qianqian about this now? I already told her that I was in the Capital. If you do so, aren’t you slapping me in the face?

 


What do you want me to do? You won’t let me remain here, and you can’t do without someone to take care of you either! If your wound gets inflamed and infected, that will become a matter of life and death! Do you expect me to just sit by and watch my best friend’s boyfriend die?

 

Shen Zhilie had nothing to say to that. He could only feel his wound painfully throbbing.
 


Fine. Forget it. I’m hungry. What did you buy?

 

Fang Tongtong’s back was toward Shen Zhilie. Her lips lifted in a smile.
 

She quickly wiped the smile off her face and turned around. She opened the meal box that she had just bought and replied,
Just some light porridge.

 

–
 

Shen Zhilie checked with Gu Yuansheng. He had indeed said those words to Fang Tongtong.
 

However, the possibility of infection had already been greatly reduced. The probability of that happening was very small. They still had to take the necessary precautions.
 

After surviving yet another day of torment, Shen Zhilie checked his medical records and mentally deduced when he could be discharged.
