Hearing her emphasize the word ‘boyfriend’, Shen Yi said teasingly, “Congratulations. I hope you two have a child soon.”

“It’s still too early to talk about children.”

“It’s not a bad thing to plan ahead.” He walked up to Jiang Ye and listened to his heartbeat.

Pei Yilan did not continue.

!!

She stared at the stethoscope on Jiang Ye’s chest and asked when Shen Yi moved it away, “Is his heart rate normal?”

“It’s normal.” Shen Yi flipped open the medical record. “Go downstairs and do a routine checkup.”

“How long will it take to get discharged?”

“Tomorrow.” He reminded him, “You can eat after eight. Make sure the food is light for the time being.”

Jiang Ye noted it down. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Shen Yi valued seniority as much as Zhou Yanshen. “I’m your uncle after all.”

“Uncle?”

“Yes, your uncle has to get back to work now.”

Seeing him leave, Jiang Ye asked Pei Yilan, “How many uncles do you have?”

“I have only one uncle called Pei Zhi.”

“Then him?”

“He wants you to take advantage of him.” Pei Yilan lifted the blanket and got out of bed with him. “Ignore him.”

Jiang Ye walked into the bathroom and looked at her through the glass in front of the sink. “Did you leave your house without a coat last night?”

“I didn’t have time to grab one.”

“Then I’ll go out and buy one for you.”

“No need.” Pei Yilan squeezed toothpaste on the toothbrush and handed it to him. “Jiaojiao will bring it to me.”

Jiang Ye retracted his foot that was outside the door.

After washing up, he gave Pei Yilan his coat and went downstairs to do a checkup.

The routine check-up was not time-consuming. He pressed the cotton swab in his elbow and looked up at the clock on the wall while waiting for the bleeding to stop.

“Yilan.” He threw away the cotton swab and was about to order takeout for her. “What do you want to eat?”

“I’m going out to eat.” Pei Yilan was afraid that he would get more hungry watching her eat and did not plan to eat in front of him.

She sent Jiang Ye back to the ward and stood on her tiptoes to kiss the side of his face. “Watch TV for a while. I’ll be back soon.”

Jiang Ye nodded and watched her leave.

As soon as he lay on the bed, a handsome man came in with a gift box. “Jiang Ye?”

“And you are?”

“I’m your Uncle Chu!” Chu Yuzhou happened to be nearby and came over to visit him.

He had not heard Pei Yilan call him uncle for so many years and only wanted to get back the feeling of being an elder from Jiang Ye.

After hearing him introduce himself, Jiang Ye asked out of curiosity, “How old are you?”

“Twenty-six.”

“Same age as me.”

Chu Yuzhou did not care about age.

“Niece-in-law.” His eyes were filled with love from an elder. “Do you want an apple? I’ll peel it for you.”

Jiang Ye felt his scalp tingle from the way Chu Yuzhou looked at him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the arm he was holding. He felt a little uncomfortable. “I can’t eat yet.”

“Then do you want some water? I’ll pour it for you.”

“I just had some.”

Chu Yuzhou still poured him a cup.

He placed his elbow on the guardrail and sized him up. “Niece-in-law, are there many people chasing you?”

“Not many.”

“Then do you know anyone especially beautiful around you?”

Jiang Ye thought he wanted to find out more about him.

He said sincerely, “I won’t get involved with other women. You can rest assured.”

“That’s not what I meant.” Chu Yuzhou said, “I’m still single, you know what I mean?”

“Got it.”

He patted Jiang Ye’s shoulder. “Uncle likes someone more sexy, like Jolie.”

“Angelina Jolie?”

“Right.”

Jiang Ye really did not know anyone like that.

He recalled what his former classmates looked like. They probably already had families. “I’ll tell you if I see a girl like that.”

Chu Yuzhou nodded in satisfaction.

Like a bee, he nagged Jiang Ye for a long time, “Niece-in-law, tell me if you encounter anything dangerous next time!”

“Alright.” Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Ye got out of bed and sent him to the door. “I’ll treat you to a meal on Saturday.”

“No problem!” Chu Yuzhou gave him a flirtatious look, which successfully gave Jiang Ye goosebumps.

Hearing him leave while humming a song, Jiang Ye rubbed his buzzing ears. He had finally experienced what a chatterbox Chu Yuzhou was.

He turned around and looked at the gift box on the bedside table. He shook his head and chuckled.

At noon, the golden sun shone in from the window, adding a trace of warmth to the cold ward.

A series of footsteps broke the silence.

Pei Yilan walked to his side with Lin Jiao.

She put down the shopping bag in her right hand and stared at the hanging IV drip bottle. “Did the nurse just hang this for you?”

Jiang Ye replied, “She said there’s another bottle.”

“Has Qian Yue been here?” Lin Jiao dragged the chair over.

“No.” Jiang Ye had seen their photo and vaguely remembered Qian Yue’s face. “But Chu Yuzhou came.”

“Did he come to take advantage of you?”

“Sort of?” He sat up straight and wanted to laugh when he thought of what Chu Yuzhou had said. “He’s very enthusiastic.”

Pei Yilan could imagine how shameless Chu Yuzhou was.

On the account that she was in a good mood, she did not scold him and changed the topic. “When you get discharged, we’ll go and terminate the contract, okay?”

“Not now.”

“Why?”

“I can only get paid after the shooting of this drama is wrapped up.” Jiang Ye did not avoid the problem of money. “It won’t be until next Monday at the earliest.”

“At that time, I don’t have to pay so much liquidated damages.” His honesty greatly improved Lin Jiao’s impression of him.

She relayed Zhou Yanshen’s words. “Brother Yanshen said that he will arrange for a lawyer to meet you tomorrow.”

Jiang Ye was stunned.

Although finding a lawyer for him was nothing, he really did not know how to thank them.

Seeing that he was still silent, Lin Jiao roughly guessed what he was thinking, so she said, “It’s normal for friends to help each other. Don’t overthink it. We hope you can take us as friends too.”

Pei Yilan held his hand the next second.

She looked into his eyes with a smile. “Jiang Ye, they didn’t help you just because of me. You should be able to feel it.”

Jiang Ye let out a breath and nodded at Pei Yilan.

“Are you treating us to a meal on Saturday?” Lin Jiao opened WeChat and changed the topic.

“Did Chu Yuzhou tell you?”

“Yes.” She looked up. “Brother Yanshen asked if you can change it to Friday. He has a date on Saturday.”

“Sure.” Jiang Ye sent Pei Yilan the location. “Yilan, forward it to them.”

“I’ll just create a group chat.”

Pei Yilan found it too troublesome to send a message to everyone.

When she created the group, she did not forget to invite Qu Shao in too. “Brother Qu carried you out last night.”
