The thunderstorm was accompanied by strong winds. The Magnolia trees on both sides of the road swayed violently in the wind. bean-sized raindrops rolled up the fallen leaves and knocked on the car window, making a series of sounds.

Qiao man turned her head and reached out to wipe away the mist on the side of the car window. She watched as the rain scattered from the air to every corner.

A Gust of wind blew, and the rain that was as dense as a waterfall was blown away by the wind like smoke and fog.

It was like a romantic scene that only existed in movies.

Ten minutes later, the smoke-gray Bentley stopped in front of Lin Yan’s apartment.

Qiao Man Untied Her seatbelt and was about to reach for the umbrella in the backseat, but the man in the driver’s seat took it first.

He opened the car door, opened the umbrella, and got out of the car with his long legs.

Qiao man watched his tall figure walk around the front of the car towards the passenger seat. In the next second, the faint smell of tobacco mixed with the fresh smell of rain and fog assaulted her face.

For some reason, her heartbeat became chaotic again.

There was water on the ground, so he bent over and handed the umbrella to her. “TAKE THE UMBRELLA! ”

Qiao man took the umbrella in a daze and was immediately hugged by the man. He stood up straight and glanced at her. “close the car door. ”

“Oh! ”

She closed the car door, and the man opened his long legs and walked towards the apartment door.

When the doorbell rang, Lin Yan was lying on the Sofa with a mask on her face. She was using a tablet to brush up on her drama.

When she heard the ringtone, she quickly put down the tablet, put on her slippers, and ran to open the door.

When she saw the man carrying the woman in, she was stunned for a full three seconds before she found her voice.

“although it’s raining outside, is there a need for the two of you to be so exaggerated? ”

Ji Yunshen bent down and put the girl in his arms down. He glanced at Lin Yan indifferently. “There’s something even more exaggerated. Do you want to see it? ”

Lin Yan felt the strong resentment from Ji Yunshen and looked at Qiao man in confusion. The latter gave her a look that made her calm down.

She touched her nose and continued to watch the drama, leaving space for the two of them.

Qiao man was worried that his actions just now would affect his wound. She wanted to take a look, but he said that he was fine.

She lifted her foot and was about to leave, but she seemed to have thought of something as she turned around and instructed, “you two girls are staying here. The doors and windows must be closed at night. My cell phone is on 24 hours a day. ”

Qiao man nodded, her heart seemed to be filled with countless sweet bubbles.

The apartment door opened and closed, and the man’s figure disappeared behind the door.

She took off the high heels on her feet and quickly ran to the window to take a look. It was not until the tall figure disappeared in the rain and fog that she withdrew her gaze.

Just as she turned around, she almost bumped into Lin Yan, who had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.

Qiao man was still in shock. She patted her chest and said, “why are you standing there silently? You scared me to death! ”

Lin Yan took off the mask on her face. Her voice was as clear as spring water, and there was a hint of meaning behind it.

“Man man, there’s something going on between you and JI yunshen! This is no longer a pretend couple. The two of you… are really in a relationship! ”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. ” Qiao man tucked her hair behind her ear, avoiding Lin Yan’s discerning gaze. “where’s the bathroom? I’m going to take a hot shower. ”

Lin Yan pointed in the direction to her left. Seeing that Qiao man had almost immediately fled, the smile on her lips slowly widened.

…

After Qiao man took a shower, she changed into the home clothes that Lin Yan had prepared for her. The two of them curled up on the Sofa and began to chat.

“Man man, to be honest, the state you and Ji Yunshen are in right now is really like a couple in love. Don’t tell me that you can’t feel anything! ”

Qiao man hugged her knees and rested her head on them. Her eyes looked out of the window, which was filled with lightning, thunder, and rain.

“I’m already married. If I don’t work hard, I’ll be letting down my good youth! ”

“YOU’RE RIGHT! ”

Lin Yan leaned forward and picked up the red wine bottle on the table. She poured some into the two goblets at the side. Then, she picked one up and handed it to Qiao Man.

The two of them clinked glasses and took a sip.

“where’s your brother? He’s not back yet? ”

Qiao man shook the goblet in her hand and looked at the bright red liquid in it. It slid down the wall of the Goblet and rippled.

Lin Yan shook her head and said in a lonely voice, “he just transferred to the central government and has a lot of things to do. He might not be back until late tomorrow night. After attending the wedding banquet, he’ll have to rush back. ”

“Oh, it’s okay. Anyway, we’re both unemployed people. When you’re bored, you can call me anytime. ”

Lin Yan was amused by Qiao Man’s words. She raised her head and drank up all the red wine in the goblet. “MMM, man man, it’s so good to have you! ”

After saying that, she poured herself another glass.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Qiao man felt that this was a low-alcohol red wine. Drinking two glasses would not make her drunk. She just let her pour and let her drink.

However, when Lin Yan finished two glasses, Qiao man felt that she had overestimated her alcohol tolerance.

It was cloudy outside, and coupled with the thick fog, the light in the room was particularly dim.

Lin Yan was already a little tipsy, and the pain in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

She said, “man man, I’m so uncomfortable, I’m so uncomfortable! ”

Qiao man thought that she had drunk too much and that her stomach was uncomfortable. Just as she was about to pour her a glass of water, she heard her slightly sobbing voice say, “Man man, Fu Qingshan’s phone is filled with Ji Han’s photos. From his teenage years until now, there are all kinds of photos! Crying, smiling, walking, sleeping… ”

“and… They’re all secretly taken! ”

She smiled and poured herself another glass of wine, shaking it. “He loves Ji Han even more than I imagined. Man Man, tell me, am I, Lin Yan, fated to be a fucking spare tire in this life? ”

Qiao man raised her goblet and brought it to her mouth. She took a small sip, and for some reason, her eyes also turned red.

“Yan ‘er, feelings are always preconceived. They’re like cinnabar moles in the heart. The older they get, the heavier they become. They can’t forget them, but they’re all deceiving themselves and pretending that they can. ”

Lin Yan knew that besides Fu Qingshan, Ji Yunshen was also one of the People Qiao man was talking about.

She leaned over and was about to pour more wine, but Qiao man grabbed her wrist.

“Yan ‘er, you’re going to get drunk if you keep drinking. ”

Lin Yan reached out to push her hand away and said with a smile, “man man, it’s so good to be drunk. I’m just afraid that I won’t get drunk. ”

Fu Qingshan was unwilling to accept how miserable she was in this marriage.

She didn’t want to be a Gambler, but she had to bet everything she had to bet with him and youth.

Even if it was difficult to move forward, even if there were thorns everywhere.

Qiao man could not think of a better way to persuade her. She could only watch as Lin Yan Drank one cup after another until the red wine bottle ran out, until she passed out on the Sofa.

Although the beginning of their marriage was similar, there were still a lot of differences.

She and Ji Yunshen were at least willing to each other, while Lin Yan and Fu Qingshan were probably just one party’s wishful thinking, and one party had no choice.

Qiao man put the tall glass back on the coffee table, and helped Lin Yan back to the room upstairs.

She had lost a lot of weight recently. Lying on the big bed, she was so petite that she was almost drowned.

How much love did she have to have to have red eyes even though she knew it was a bottomless abyss? She smiled and said, “I’m willing. “?

Qiao man turned down the air-conditioning and tucked the corner of the quilt for her. Then, she turned around and left the room, preparing to cook some hangover soup.

She went to the kitchen to cook for a while. After making the hangover soup, she walked out.

It was raining outside and she was bored. She Sat on the Sofa and turned on the television, ready to watch the current news for a while.

After watching for a few minutes, her phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Because it was Lin Yan’s phone, she did not look at it. She wanted to wait for her to wake up before returning.

After the vibration ended, it started to vibrate again. After repeating it three times, she finally could not take it anymore. She took her phone and saw that it was Fu Qingshan calling.

After hesitating for two seconds, she picked up the phone. “Yan ‘Er is drunk and asleep. If there’s anything that she needs to do when she wakes up, I’ll ask her to call you back. ”

When the person on the other end heard her voice, she seemed to be stunned for two seconds before saying, “then I’ll have to trouble you to make some hangover soup for her. Otherwise, she’ll have a headache when she wakes up. ”

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up! ”

After ending the call, Qiao man could not help but mutter, “you’re even pretending to be perfunctory. If you’re really worried, why don’t you come over and make it yourself? ”

Qiao man watched the news for a while and felt that the hangover soup was almost ready. She placed it on a tray and brought it to the room.

When the hangover soup was almost cold, she woke Lin Yan up and let her drink the entire bowl of hangover soup.

She took the bowl out, washed it, put it away, and returned to the room. She was already a little tired.

Lying next to Lin Yan, she listened to the regular sound of the wind and rain outside the window, and the sound of the clock on the wall, and fell asleep very quickly.

…

When she opened her eyes again, the night had completely fallen outside.

Qiao man rubbed her eyes. Before she could completely wake up from her sleep, she was shocked by the sound of her phone vibrating under her pillow.

She picked it up and saw that the name on the screen was Zhang Sao. She quickly swiped the answer button.

“Man man, young master is running a high fever. Secretary Yang and I are taking him to the hospital. COME OVER QUICKLY! ”

Qiao man was completely awake now. She quickly pulled the blanket away and got out of bed. “What happened? Didn’t he take any anti-inflammatory drugs? ”

“No. After you left, he locked himself in his room. I went to call him for lunch. He said that he wasn’t hungry and didn’t want to eat. I finally brought dinner into the room and thought that he would eat. I didn’t expect that he still didn’t eat. ”

“I was going to the room to collect the tray. When I realized that he didn’t eat, I wanted to heat it up for him. Then, I called you and asked you to watch him eat. However, I saw that his complexion was abnormal. I stretched out my hand and it was frighteningly hot. It seemed that he had been running a high fever for a long time. ”

Qiao man bit her lip, and her eyes unconsciously reddened. “I got it, Zhang Sao. I’m rushing to the hospital now. ”

It was already ten o’clock at night, and Lin Yan had long woken up from her alcohol. She was just asleep. Qiao Man’s phone had just vibrated, and coupled with the sound of her voice, she was pulled back from her sleep.

“Man Man, what’s wrong? ”

Qiao man was putting on her clothes, and when she heard that, she turned around. “I’m sorry, Yan ‘er, I woke you up. Ji Yunshen has a high fever, and he’s on his way to the hospital now. I’ll go take a look. ”

Lin Yan frowned, lifted the blanket and got out of bed. “I’ll go with you. ”

“There’s no need. The rain hasn’t stopped outside and you’ve been drinking. It’s easy to catch a cold when it’s hot and cold. ”

As she said that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave, but Lin Yan grabbed her wrist. “Man man, it’s not easy to hail a taxi here. It’s already so late. I don’t feel at ease if you go alone. I’ll drive you there. ”

In order not to waste any time, Qiao man finally agreed.

The two of them walked out of the apartment and each held an umbrella as they walked towards the parking lot.

Lin Yan pressed the remote control to unlock the car door. A few seconds later, the two of them sat in the car, one on the left and one on the right.

After fastening her seatbelt, Lin Yan started the car and quickly slid out of the apartment door, driving all the way to the hospital.

When they reached the hospital, the two of them took the elevator and went straight to the SVIP suite on the top floor.

Zhang Sao and secretary Yang were both outside the door. It was obvious that Ji Yunshen had woken up.

Lin Yan stopped a few steps away from the door of the ward and said gently, “man man, you can go in. I’ll wait for you outside. ”

“Okay! ”

Qiao man handed the black umbrella in her hand to her and turned to enter the ward.

Ji Yunshen’s face was very pale. Under the Pale light of the shed, he looked too sick and pale.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head. “It’s so late. How did you get here? ”

“Yan ‘er drove me here! ”

After hearing that, Ji Yunshen’s face softened. “Did Zhang Sao call you? ”

“Ji Yunshen, why don’t you eat porridge? And why don’t you say anything when you have a high fever? ”

She pulled a chair over and sat down, staring at him with a pair of red eyes.

He took her little hand and played with it in his palm, comforting her. “When I was in the special forces, my injuries were much worse than now. I only slept for two days before I continued training. It’s nothing serious! ”

She withdrew her hand and turned her head away, no longer looking at him. “So, you’re telling me that I’m meddling in other people’s business, right? ”

“I’m telling you not to worry. ” He reached out and placed her hand in his wide palm. “I’M NOT THAT WEAK! ”

Qiao man took a deep breath. Just as she was about to speak, the door to the ward was pushed open and a few doctors and nurses walked in. Wen Cheng was among them.

Qiao man turned around, stood up and made way for the doctors.

The leading doctor examined Ji Yunshen for a while. Finally, he took out a pen and paper and instructed, “Mr. Ji, the wound on your back is showing signs of infection. Don’t get it wet. Also, eat and replenish your nutrition on time. Otherwise, you won’t be able to recover in a short time. ”

After a few doctors and nurses gave their instructions, they walked out.

Wen Cheng walked at the back and gestured for Qiao man to make a phone call. Qiao man nodded and smiled as she watched her walk out.

The door to the ward closed and the initial silence returned.

There was only the sound of dripping water and the sound of the equipment working.

Qiao man crossed her arms and stood there for a while. She did not say anything. The moment she turned around and walked out, the man stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.

“where are you going? ”

Qiao man struggled and easily broke free from his embrace. “I’m going to find you something to eat. Otherwise, are you going to be hungry all the time? ”

After saying that, Qiao man hurriedly walked out of the ward.

He seemed to be in a bad mood, otherwise how could he break free from his arms so easily.

Not Daring to think too much, she hurriedly went to the 24-hour porridge shop next to the hospital to buy a bowl of porridge, and when she came back, she watched him personally drink it.

Then, she watched him eat two anti-inflammatory drugs before letting him lie down to rest.

He was very tired. After having a high fever, it was easier for him to be tired, and he fell asleep very quickly.

After adjusting the air-conditioning, and turning off the lights in the ward, she walked out.

Zhang Sao, Secretary Yang, and Lin Yan sat side by side on the bench outside the ward, waiting. When they saw her, they were all stunned.

Because her face was full of tears.

“Zhang Sao, you stay here and take care of him! ”

Then, she pulled Lin Yan out. Zhang Sao guessed that the two of them might have been quarreling and were in a Cold War. She hurriedly asked, “man man, when young master wakes up, ask me how I should answer. ”

“Just say that I’m very angry because he doesn’t know how to cherish himself, because he lets others down and worries. ”

After saying that, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Secretary Yang did not dare to leave, not only because of Qiao Man’s departure, but also because the few truckloads of flowers had not been sent out yet.

He had been by President Ji’s side for many years, so he could understand his temper. He knew what kind of reaction he would have when he woke up. Thinking about it, his scalp could not help but go numb

…

When Lin Yan and Qiao man returned to the apartment, it was already early in the morning.

Because it was a little cold at night, the two of them took a hot shower and then cooked something to eat. Only then did they end the day of chaos, lying quietly on the bed.

Qiao man could not sleep, she tossed and turned.

Lin Yan turned on the bedside lamp and looked at her through the dim light, laughing at her. “since you’re so worried, why do you have to be so angry? Don’t let him be fine, if you make yourself angry again, do something good! ”

Qiao man suddenly sat up and slammed her hands on the quilt “Yan ‘er, the thing I can’t stand the most is that he always talks about his background as a special forces soldier. In the Special Forces, he is faced with either darkness or death every day. Getting injured is not a big deal. ”

“But now? He isn’t in the special forces, not in a place where there is only darkness and death. Why can’t he consider for others? ”

Lin Yan understood Qiao Man’s feelings and also understood the feeling of heartache.

She patted Qiao Man’s shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, “people like them who came from the special forces are mostly chauvinistic and are used to seeing life and death, so it’s inevitable that this will happen. ”

After persuading Qiao man for a while, Qiao Man’s emotions finally calmed down a little. Lin Yan turned off the lights and said, “man man, go to sleep. I’ll drive you to the hospital tomorrow morning. ”

Qiao man nodded, turned over, and closed her eyes.

Drowsiness gradually came over her. Just as Qiao man was about to fall asleep, the phone under her pillow vibrated again.

The buzzing sound woke the two of them up very quickly.

Qiao man apologized and forgot to turn it silent. She swiped the answer button because the name displayed on the screen was him.

“Hello, you’re awake? ”

The man seemed to be smoking. After his voice was filled with smoke, it became very hoarse.

He said, “what do you mean by I don’t know how to cherish my body? What do you mean by disappointing and making me sad? Tell me clearly! ”

Qiao man did not want to argue with him in the middle of the night. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, she heard the man continue, “man man, come to the window. ”

After hearing this, her eyes widened and she hurriedly ran to the French window. She pulled open the curtains and looked at the man standing in the rain.

“Are you crazy? You ran out of the hospital with a fever and stood under the rain again? ”

He was still laughing and his voice was very soft. “Man Man, I miss you! ”
